Gov. NICHOLS has vetoed the Lot
terry Bill passed by the Louisiana Leg
islature authorizing charter by vote
of the people, on condition that the
company pay into the treasury annual
ly the sum of 81, ,25O,OOO.
After stating fully the good financial
condition of the state and in no sense
degraded to the condition of a pauper,
he winds up as follows:
Il say to this assembly in all earnest
ness that should this measure be passed
we would enter upon a period of strife,
such as has never been seen before in
Louisiana and should this contempla-
ted corporation ever be formed, we
shall enter, upon an era of corruption
and degradation beside which the era
of reconstruction will appear as one of
honor and happiness. And let me say
to you that should this measure be
adopted and carried out, in my opin-
ion no good would ever come of the
money which we we would receive as
the price of our honor and our liberty.
Extravaganza, prOAigacy and cOrrup-
ton will assuredly follow the receipt
as night follows day.
knowing the measure as we'll as l
do, as one dishOnoring and degrading
Louisiana, it has met as it will contin-
ue to meet my most determined Oppo-
sition. At no time and under no cir
stances will 1 permit one of my hands
to aid in disregarding what the other
was lost in seeking to uphold, the
honor of my native state. Were l to
affix my signature to the bill would
indeed be ashamed to let my left
hand know what my right hand had
done"

Capsized BY a Whale.

A dlspath yesterday from Atlantic
city to the Philadelphia Times gave an
account of an excitement among the
fisherman and the capture of sea
monster at Rrigantine Beach. Ned
Thomas of this town was one of the
party. The correspondent says
They were Frank Ellis, of Washing
ton James Palmer, of New York B.
f. Milligan, of Philadelphia, and Ned
Thomas, the well-knOwn burnt-cork
artist.
They rOwed out to the restless mon
ster, but the moment their frail boat
came within reach it shot out its tail
with such force as to unset the boat
and throw the occupants right and
left, two of them being pitched fully
fifteen feet. All scrambled safely to
the shore, and held a consultation.
which resulted in their opening fire
on the invander of Quay's fishing prem
ises.
Pistols and rifles were freely used
but had little effect. Then q couple
of small anchors were thrown
over the whale, for such 1t proved to
be, and to the lines two-horse team
was attached. It took a long and
steady pull to bring the big mammel
up to the beach, but 1t was finally pro-
cured and promptly dispatched. It is
fully fifteen feet long has mouth like
a cavern and is altogether the stran-
gest looking monster ever seen by any,
body in this vicinity.

Two more states have been pitch
forked into the Union, Idaho and Wyo-
ming, making eight territories that
have thus within the past year taken
their places in the great sisterhood-
forty-fouri in all. Some Ofthese territories
had the requisite population and were
entitled to recognition, but with sew
eral of them this was not the case and
the great haste in pitching them into
the union, with a pFepOnderating
power with such legislation as the
Silver bill, may be hurtful to the set
tied and well regulated habits of the
nation.
With the admission Of Wyoming and
Idaho to Statehood almost the last of
the old territories vanishes from the
map. Utah. New Mexico and Ari-
zena are all that remain in that stage
of the embryo Commonwealths which
are represented by Delegates in the
House of Representatives.
Within the next three or four year q
ail of these will probably pass into
Statehood with the exception Of Utah
and If some way of dealing with the
MormOns, like that in vogue in Idaho,
De adopted, even Utah may be permit
ted to come in. New Mexico and
Utah have now greater population
than some of the States, while Arizona
and Oklahoma are reasonably certain.

1,OS6,OOO, gain of over $780, 900 in ten
years. Philadelphia now takes the
third rank with 1,O4O, ,499. Chicago
now leaps from the fourth to the Sec

LOUIS remains the sixth, with 100000.
Boston, which stood fifth, is compelled
to take the seventh place, with AIT,
72O. Cincinnati Keeps its old place.
All these cities show d handsome gain.
Minneapolis, which was the thirty
eighth city,in rank in 1880, is now the
seventeenth, having nearly doubled

years its population has multiplied

Lieut.. staYton to try the Law.

titive examination.
The navy, like every other depart.
ment of the Government, finds it hard
to hold its brightest men against the
temptatIone of private business with
its glittering lures. Lieutenant Stay
ton of the Marine Corps, made such a
fine exhibition of legal ability and ac-
complishments as assistant to the Judge
Advocate at the McCalla court-mar-
tial that he has received most tempt
ing offers from two firms of New York
lawyers, and is only With-hOldlng his
resignation until he can determine
whether to accept either or neither and
start out for himself. When it is re-
membered that he held his own with
the redoubtable Joe" ChOate through
out that remarkable trial, his pros
poets are not to be marveled at. Yet
he is lust the modest and manly, bril-
liant and scholarly officer whom the
navy needs.

The action of the last legislature in
establishing the Delaware State In
sane asylum at Farnhurst shows the
wisdom of the state in making the pur-
chase in the almost phenomenal sue.
cess of the institution. The insane of
the three counties are gathered there,
and under the humane treatment of
the unfOrtunates who are dethroned of
reason, these wards of the state are
doing as well as could be asked. A
recommendation of the trustees, which
they will make to the governor of the
State and through him to the next ses-
sion of the legislature, will be for an
increased appropriation and will be
accompanied by plans and estimates
for such alterations to the building
as are required to bring it to the
standard of the best modern hosDit-
ais for the insane.

1T is rather early in the season, and
hot weather, but for all this the politi-
cal pot is boiling in Delaware, but
with greater intensity in Pennsylvania
where Delamater has been chosen the
standard bearer for one party and Pat
tisOn for the other. This early inten-
sity is partly revolt at Bossism. The
man who feels he is a freeman with
the right and capability both of chos-
ing for himself, naturally rebels at
any assumption of dictatorship.
Hence, Wharton Barker kicks at
Quayism. The natural result whether
in Pennsylvania, Delaware or any
other state of the one man power is,
to weaken the party.

The Fourth.

fHG Fourth passed off very quietly
as there was no celebration contempla-
ted. The people were left to spend
their Fourth as best their inclinations
prompted them. Many of the houses
were decorated with the emblems of
nationality. The cOlOred people were
considerably animated as they always
are OH such occasions. The Indepem-
dent COrnet Band, colOred, came out
and under the lead of the three john
sons, gave some very good music. A
large number of the people went down
to the Beach. The excursion train
from over the Baltimore & Delaware
Bay Railroad was joined by about
''fifty persons" at our depot, but much
larger number went in their own
conveyance.
The Thomas Clyde from Philadel-
phia was filed to its utmost capacity
and was obliged to leave two or three
hundred people on the wharf at Phila-
delphia, as the limit of the boats cap
acity had been reached. Collins,
Beach was visited by large excursion
and the attendance from the people of
the surrounding country made it an
enjoyable day to all.
In the afternoon a number of per.
sons witnessed the base ball game at
Clayton.
There was nothing of public
character during the evening and the
time was given to social pleasure.
Several citizens had fre-work display
at their own residences.
There was no disorder reported dur
ing the day and altogether an enjoya-
bic Fourth was spent

A CHURCH DESTROYED By INCENpI-
ARIEs.-The Methodist Episcopal
Church at Manasquan, N. J., was de-
stroyed by fire shortly before midnight
on Friday. The flames broke out in
the library in the northeast corner of
the buildings. The fire was beyond
doubt caused by incendiaries, as the
books and papers had been soaked in
kerosene oil. Some months ago there
was split in the congregation.
Many of the members withdrew aud
started to build a pew church, The
church was valued al $4,000 and in
sured for 5000, The pastor, Rev, Mr..
Lake, is the father Of W. G. Lake, late

The accident on Saturday night or
rather Sunday morning near Ches-
wOld when two freight trains collided,
smashing each engine and reducing
nine cars to kindling wood, empha-
sises the fact that these accidents are
becoming quite frequent, and neces-
sarily raises a spirit of inquiry among
the people, who fortunately have not
been as great sufferers thus far as the
railroad. 1t is this coupled with the
almost weekly accident in the West
Yard slaughter pen of Wilmington
where a man is crushed or manned
almost weekly that has prompted a
note of inquiry in another column
from the pen of leading man of

amount to SO per cent. of the popula-
tion of Cincinnati, 80 per cent. of
Cleveland, 65 of Boston, Sc of New

ures are significant in view of the fact
that the cities are the great nerve CEN

Death of John L. Rilderhack.

John L. Bilderback, one of our eld-
erly and well.knOwn farmers died on
Saturday after some weeks and months
of disability, in the 18th year of his
age,
de came to this state from New Jer-
sey some forty years ago and soon es-
tablished for himself a reputation as a
skillful and prosperous farmer. Eight
or ten years after that he bought the
farm on the KentOn road some three
miles from this town where he resided
until he died. He was one of most
successful peach growers and In the
prosperous years had liberal returns,
but from his easy nature and personal
habits allowed it to get away from
him. He was q man of aGable and
obliging temperament, and whatever
his condition, his wife and family were
always treated in the most kindly
manner. 4fMr. Rilderback had had
the quality of saving that he had in
making, he would have left valuable
property. The trait of kindliness, that
quality and nature that can be easily
wrought on under forCeful plea, is
strongly illustrated in the fact that he
endorsed for a man three times and
had it to pay each time.
The effect of declining health
has been showing for several years but
especially the past year, being confined
to his home since last winter. He
leaves a widow (whO was all to him u
wife could bel and one son, Samuel,
who has always remained with his
parents.
