HonorInr tseorre ". cbi.ds.

The members Of thb Typographical
Union of Philadelphia celebrated on
Tuesday the slxty.thlrd birthday OF
George W. Childs by q banquet
Among the letters read was the follow
ing from MIR. Blaine:
You arc among the very few
among the precious class OF men who
with great success have developed lib
erality, charity and justice. Unhap-
PLY, great success In the world is to o
often accomplished by a growing sell
ilshness, Q growing disregard of Il o
wants and the sufferlngs OF others.
Your deserved eulogy, my dear Mr..
Childs, is that your lie has been pass
ed even more in making others happy
than in promoting your own fortunes
by the most honorable means. Great
er eulogy than this hath no man. Tho
influence which hardens the heart Of
many has constantly widened your
own benevolence and exalted your
own life.
Believe me, with profound appre-
citation of your character, very SINGER
ly your friend, JAMES G. BLAINE"
Mr.. Childs received throughout the
day cable dispatches from England,
Franco and Germany and kilograms
from all parts OF the Union. His prl-
vate office was filled with flowers from
the printers and other friends.
The Wilmington daily Republican., 1891-05-16
Partisan Laws.

The Legislature adjourned today.
In the hurry and confusion OF adjourn
ing IL is hard to tell what laws hsvo
been passed and what bills have not
passed into laws, The Five Commits
sioner bill we know passed some two
weaks ago as the beneticiaries of it are
already IN the saddle. Other political
bills arc the Walcott ballot Till; tho
registration bill for the Stale; the reg
istration bill for the city: the repeal of
the assessment and tax collection laws
of 1873 and the bill authorizing the
Governor to appoint State Constablcs
for election day in Wilmington alone
in numbers from one up to athousanl
II the Governor secs proper TO appoint
them have all become laws and tho
police commission bill for Wilmington
hung in the balance when the Legisla-
ture met to-day. Such an uvalsnche
Ct political bills was never known be-
fore. II they were all on the line OF
reform there could he very little OBJ
lection to any OF them but who under
the circumstances believes they were
passed for that purpose?
The Wilmington daily Republican., 1891-05-16
State constabIes.

1t was generally expected that this
Democratic Legislature would hurry
something through OF nm intensely
partisan chnructcrat the close of the ses-
sion and now we have 1t in the shape Of
d State constabulary. The Governor
IS authorized to appoint as many
deputy constahles as no sees proper
only on the day Of the State election
and only for the city OF Wilmington.
These are it Is said to overawe and Off
sci the deputy marshals that may be
appointed. Having lost the sheriff Of
New Castle County and with him tho
appointment Of deputy sherliIs as Sher-
iff Allen did. amongst whom were
some OF the worst outlaws and thieves
OF the city the Democrats had no
other source to fly to than TO tho Gov
ernor and they will find those State
constables will avail them of as little
advantage as the deputy sherlfs-
It is not long since tine Democrats
had the Mayor of The city and his po-
lice, the sheriff of the county and his
deputies, tho United States Marshal
AMI deputies and thoy had no trouble
with tho assistance OF the tax collectors
In rolling up two Thousand and more
Democratic majority in the city. They
want to get back TO those happy days
once more but they are taking the
wrong way TO get at 1t. Legislation,
to crush out the will OF the people, has
played out. The people will not be
crushed any more, and il tho Demo
Gratis expect to carry the next State
election by force aud fraud in Viii
niington, they might as well call of
their dogs of war in time. Whining
ton cannot be made Democratic b!
fair means, neither can New Castl,
County.
The Wilmington daily Republican., 1891-05-16

TIE LEGIsLATuRE stuck it right when
1t passed bill authorizing tho Levy
Court TO erect a bridge across the
Btandywlne at Broome street. Moth
ing would do more to improve and in
crease the Talue Of the property in the
westeln part of the city than this CON
templated bridge. A great effort was
made to get the Levy Court to build
bridge across the creek at Washing
ton street, but that was objected to Rs
being too near Market street bridge
considering the rapid improvement of
the city farther up the stream. No
doubt there will be bridge at Wash
ington street some day in tho near
future, but for the present Broome
street is the place where the eouutye
money will do the most good.

Here is Fish story" from Ft. Mey-
ers. Fla.; Mrs. George L. Stagg. OF
Frankfort, Ky, last Saturday after
noon, '..after a hard and gallant fight
OF ono hour and % minutes, brought
to ganand secured Il 205 pound tarpon.
the largest silver king ever caught with
rod and reel, or i'll any other manner,
Tor that matter. When the news was
first known the citizens hardly bellev-
cd 1t, and in this town, where tarpon
have ceased to be q novelty, crowds
were going and coming all day to view
the king. Its length was seven feet
three inches, and it girted four feet two
inches. Mrs, Stagg is justly proud of
her achievement, and declares she will
try and beat her own record. The larg-
est tarpon caught with rod and reel
heretofore Known weighed 1S4 pounds,
and was caught in 1888 by John q.
liectuchcr, Of Missouri, at st. James
City.

Two AMENDMENTS came from Dover
yesterday. changing the registration
law, under which the city registration
commenced to-day. One Of the amend
