There was quite an odd spectacle the
other day in front Of a large business
| block in course of repair. The front
wall was Of brick, and had been freshly
i painted, but the "tuck-pointing, or
outlining Of the bricks with white paint
still remained to be done, On the day in
! question the two men hired to do the
/ pointing appeared at the building some
what the worse for having been on n
/ mild spree the night before. However.
tine contractors not being on hand, the
men decided to go right to work.
| Ascending to the top of the building
where the scaiIold was already hanging,
they carefully climbed out and began
| work.
All went we'll far time, and the ont
lines Of the bricks were true, bit as the
men lowered the scatfold to the fourth
story one OF them proposed having a
little reGreshment. OF course no oh

AT this time, when the long felt desir-
ability Of taking the management Of
this county out of politics and placing il
upon a substantial business footing is
approaching contamination, the exhibit
of the excellent working of a thorough
and competent business system applied
to our city's water department, which
we print to-day, affords most striking
object lesson. When the water commits
sion came into power, six or eight
years ago, there were many we'll
meaning people in Wilmington who
were unfriendly to and suspicious
OF the innovation; but the practical
demonstration of its inetficiency has
long since disarmed these opponents
and converted most of them into the
staunchest of friends, whose protest
would be foremost and loudest in the
general volume of denunciation that
would now coup from Wilmington atthe
suggestion of any attempt to deprive
this city Of an improvement of which
its people have such abundant reason to
be proud.
Perhaps the most striking exemplifi-
cation Of what has been accomplished
in this branch Of city government, by
taking it out of politics and placing it
on a business footing, is shown in the
statement that in about six years the
commission has practically redeemed,
out of its surplus earnings, the loan
Of $4,000 with which it entered
upon its career. That it should
earn a surplus of $4,000, over and
above all current expenses, including
the keeping up of the interest and other
obligations upon the large bonded in
debtedness inherited from its predeees-
sors, is indeed a gratifying showing,
and enough to make one wish heartily
that the like business spirit could be in
fused into allother departments of our
municipal government.
Again, we would direct attention to
the completeness with which the com
mission has enforced its collections. A
deficit of only $25 in the collection Of
water rents amounting to upwards of
S400, 0O0-covering a period Of four
years-only stX-thousandths of one per
cent-comes about as close to the per
lection Of debt gathering as anything
can be expected to come in mortal
community.

The last day of 1890-how short the
time in retrospect since its first days
slipping away; the last day Of year
and Of 4 decade. With the first day Of
1891 begins the closing decade Of the
nineteenth century. Ten years more,
which to those who live to look bacl,
upon them will seem to have passed as
quickly as have the years since 1881, ten
years more will usher in the twentieth
century. What treasures Of informa-
ton and marvels of invention and dis.
covery the very words suggest. We may
ask ourselyes-can it be possible for the
twentieth century to bring with il as
much Of change and progress as the
nineteenth has brought? But is it not
probable that our forefathers of 1891
were asking the same question Of the
then approaching nineteenth century ?
And We, who feel so far in advance Of
them, will be in turn old fogies to
another generation.

II there are two street railway organi-
cations ready to bid against each other
for the privilege of laying tracks on
Fourth and other streets, would it not
have been more in consonance with the
public interest for the Street and Sewer
department to have exacted something
in return for the franchises it gave away
Fuesdaynight? lfthere iscompetitionfor
these franchises, then it follows that they
possess somevaluefor there would hardly
be contention over a thing of no value.
Or Is the action Of the Street and Sewer
Department, in its free grant of these
franchises to the Wilmington CITY
Passenger Railway Company, to be
taken as an acknowledgment by the de,
partment of the charter right of the
Front Street Railway Company to use
the city streets without the consent Of
the department, and as token of The
departments willingness to do what il
can to put both railway companies upon
the same footing?

The Philadelphia Inquirer, pitching
into the Press for the latter's hostility to
Cameron, says; 1.-THE main charge
against Cameron is that he is opposed to
the Elections bill. This is the greatest
crime in the eyes of the editorlcss Press
that man is capable Of. Singularly
enough, this action of Cameron has
made him strong, and it isn't singular
either when it is considered that a ma
jority of the Republicans of Pennsyl-
Yania quite agree with him that this is
no time to press such measure. Most
Republicans of the state have profited
by the recent elections, They have
seen state after state swept
from the Republican moorings,
and they have no desire to see any such
sweep in the year 1892. They arc quite
willing to learn the lesson Of the revolu-
ton. = The plain fact about
the Elections bill is just this: Not one
person in thousand either understands
1t or cares a snap Of the finger about it.
That is, in the north. The Press itself
sent a correspondent through the south
some time ago and discovered that no.
body wanted il there. All tile intelli-
gent Republicans Of that section are
opposed TO it. That is undisputed.
And half a column more to the same
effect. The Press must be growing
awfully lonely rs the sole friend Of the
Force bill among the newspapers Of the
g.eatest Republican city.

HARROW FINDINGS.

Farm, Stock and Home says: " 1t is
an insult to the intelligence, industry
and skill of the farmer of the United
States to say that he has not made
money during the past 25 years. That
he has made money is evidenced by the
rapid growth in wealth of the nation of
whose riches he is the elementary pro-
Queer. But the farmer has learned that
it is one thing to make money and quite
another thing to prevent its being illegit-
imately taken from him.
The Jersey Bulletin thinks it singular
that with so noble an object of sale and
barter there seems to be something in
connection with the horse, as it concerns
professional dealers, which develops
moral obliquity and weak regard for
the truth. A man may be reliable and
trustworthy in other transaction, but
when it comes to horse trade there
seems to be lowering of moral tone,
and, by common consent, it is generally
supposed that the dealer is not expected
to be more honest than the law demands.
Here is a good pointer for farmers,
from the New England Farmer: - Not
three farmers in hundred raise this de-
licious vegetable, asparagus, which
comes into use more than month before
peas. and is less trouble to grow than
anything of equal value which the gar.
den produces. We begin using asparagus
soon after the middle of April, in early
seasons. A single row of asparagus ter
rods long will furnish large family al
they can use and one planting is for life. >
