Manager Barney Stevenson of the
Wilmington Base Ball Club will be in
this city tomorrow. He has signed
eight players, and a dozen applications
await his attention. The stockholders Of
the club were to have held meeting
yesterday, but they postponed It until
they might hear from the Atlantic Asso-
citation. Secretary MeAteer, under instrIc
tions, wrote to that association to know the
inducements it would offer for the en-
trance Of the Wilmington Club The
stockholders are now waiting on an
answer They are favorably impressed
with the Atlantic and will probably join
its circuit. They believe the combination
is stronger and will draw better. The
association itself is anxious that the local
team join so as to break the long distance

THE code Of new rules to be urged by
the Republican managers in the House is
short cut to jobbery. The Republicans
realize that they win not be able save on
rare occasions, to command the service
Of a majority of the House Therefore
the speaker proposes that, in Committee
of the Whole. in which all bills appro-
priating money or raising revenue must
be considered, 100 members, or less than
one third the membership, shall make Il
quorum. The rights Of individual members
are curtaIed TO such an extent by extra
ordinary powers given to the several
committees that IL will be almost impos-
sible for an individual member to obtain
hearing on any subject, no matter how
important He will be compelled
to obtain the assistance OF a committee
the chairman Of which is a Republican
appointed by the speaker and therefore
under obligations to the speaker. who In
this case, Is an intense, determined, and
as Mr. Carlisle says, an unfair" parti-
san This rule Of procedure will render
the already too careless members still
more careless concerning legislation in
which they are not directly interested.
They will feel absolyed from personal re-
sponsibility and the 'boodlersp will step
IN and run things" The new rules also
permit riders to appropriation bills
Some of the worst Legislation
which has dishonored Congress has
been accomplished by riders" The
most notorious was the 'back-pay salary
grab An attempt Of this sort has al
ready been prevented by the Democrats
in the Silcott rounding bill which was
killed two days ago. With the opportu
mites the new rules offer for q bare
majority to go into the Committee Of tn,
Whole, of which 100 Is quorum
the doors will be open wider than ever
before TO hasty, prohigate, cor
rupt and partisan legislation
All classes of subsidy beggari
and tariff robbers will be In the lo6b,
with skillful attorneys aud plethora
pockets AS political policy it may no
be well for the Democrats to oppose thesl
rules the country win be disguste,
sooner II they are allowed to pass. Blu
as patriots and honest men they canno
do otherwise than oppose them. In thl
the Democrats are fortunate In the lead
ership OF Carlisle-a wise, cool, capable
patriotic and perfectly fair man.

Falling from the sky,
Falling ON the wagon tops
And ON the passers-by.

Falling on the rivers side.

So the tardy snow Is falling,
Falling over Pan.
Whitening the back Of the doctor quacl

Down upon the city street
And ON the county town

Peach yellow is raging to an alarming
extent in the Northern states, and the
Eastern Shore Of Maryland, which a few
years since was filed with orchards pay
ing handsome profit, is now infected
with this disease. and no new orchards
are planted in consequence. 1t is very
obvious that Virginia win be the next
peach belt, and our Legislature should at
once take prompt steps to put stop to
the sale of peach trees in this state
brought from infected districts. Our

for any intelligent man who reads the
