i THE NATIONAL holiday was charac-
terized in many places by the riotous
and tiisorderly conduct Of persons who
have not q proper idea Of >the way in
which an event of such Importance
and dignity should be celebrated. We
are happy to say, however, that not a
Aingle breach of the peace occurred in
Mfadlato@n. The people who came
hare were entertained in apleasant and
instructive f5anaer, consequently every
one felt that to mar the pleasure OF
others would be to seriously degrade
himself. The patriotic endeavors OF
the Order making the, display were
fully appreciated, the addresses were
far above the average, and led the
minds Of the pleasure seekers away
from the baser toward the higher in
tellectual pleasures. The sale of in
toxicating liquors is carefully guarded
by those interested, and to this fact
may be attributed much Of the free
dom Of the town from unpleasant oc-
currences. The day will be pleasantly
remembered by those who were able to
Join In the celebration.

Arrangements are now under way to
run car or train of cars, IL necessary,
daily from points in Delaware to Phila-
deiphia to carry all kinds Of farm pro-
duce and truck to the wholesale and
retail market which is about to be
established at Thirtieth and Market
streets. We are reliably informed that
there is abundance of capital behind
this undertaking and that the men who
have invested in this new market house
are willing to take all the risk Of estab-
fishing a wholesale and retail business
at that place. and are oferiug every
possible inducement to commission
merchants and others to locate there.
They will thoroughly organize their
trade from this Peninsula. The enter
prise is an admirable one and promises
to give the farmers of Delaware just
the opportunity for which they have so
long waited. Of engaging in market
gardening on large scale, and under
conditions that will leave no room to
doubt the profitable and satisfactory
outcome Of the enterprise. e.-Delaware

A New Harvester.

Mr. VIM. B. Earle, of Queen Anne's,
cut his wheat with new machine that
is destined in the near future to
supersede the self-binding reapers now
so universally used. The Record says
there is a strangeness about the ap-
pearance of such a machine, as the
above, to us, because Of what seems to
be a verifeation Of the old epigram
that "the cart is before the horse. -
We behold two horses, harnessed in the
rear of the Header" pushing forward
the light and simple machine as it
quickly and effectively clips from the
top Of the standing straw the full
heads Of wheat, which are by the
machine rapidly deposited in the ac-
companying wagons, and in them
carted to the place Of storage, to await
the second step by the busy farmer. !"
The HEADER as 1t is called, which is
now at work in the fields of Mr.. Earle,
is the first OF its kind east Of the Alle-
ghany mountains, and is somewhat t
curious to the eyes Of the vide-awake Q
farmers Of this county. The machine
is not guided in its course by the horses
themselves, but there Is attached to the
back Of the machine a small wheel or
rudder which is manipulated by the
director who rides above. As the en-
tire machinery is before the horses and
they are compelled to follow the course
of the ''header" itself. the helmsman
is enabled to carry his machine by any
line that suits his fancy. Mr.. Earle
and those who have witnessed its oper-
alton pronounced it an undoubted sue
cess.-Centreville Record.

the stars and stripes from the Academy

The visitors from Wilmington =
Hyatt's Military Band, and Eureka
Council, No. 22,-were entertained in
excellent style at McWhorter's Hall,
by the home Council. After dinner
they amused themselves in numerous
ways and seemed to have good time.
The stores did not close any time
during the day. They did rushing
business on crackers, cheese and this
like, and a party from the country,
seated on q goods box or in some out
OF the way shady spot with supply Of
such eatables, was not an unusual
sight.
The Wilmington delegation returned
home on the 4.27 train. Tie Band
discoursed some patriotic music on
their way to the depot and big crowd
was on hand to see them of. As the
train pulled out of the station they
gave three rousing cheers for Middle
town and her Jr. 0. u. A. M. The
Wilmington visitors were 9 gentle
manly crowd and won many favorable
comments BY the way they conducted
themselves.
Toward evening many of the visitors
from the country and elsewhere left
town but the streets were still thronged
with people, and they found plenty Of
amusement. AS soon as it became
dark enough fireworks were brought
out and for several hours they kept
going of in different parts of the town.
A display given by party of young
ladies and gentlemen about 9 o'clock
in the evening, on the corner of Main
and Scott streets, attracted much at
tsntion and was very pretty.
By 12 o'clock there were CON.
paratively few people on the streets
and the town had once more gone
back to its usual state Of quietude.

held the grandest Fourth of July DEM

THE Secretary of the Treasury of
the United States is at present en-
gagged in q controversy with Mr..
Powderly, leader of the Knights of
Labor, concerning the discharge Of
several printers from the government
printing Office. The only reason for a
reinstatement of these men is a
political one. Secretary Foster says
they were discharged because they
were useless, and that one Of them was
a dangerous character. Mr.. Powder
ly steps in and informs Mr.. Foster that
in case these men are not rsinstated
the Knights of Labor will defeat Mr..
Mckinley who wants to be Governor
of Ohio. Mr.. Foster Immediately
promises to reinstate the men when he
is informed that another labor Or
ganization is stronger in Ohio than
the Knights, and that the reinstate-
ment will cause that organization to
fight Mckinley.
All this places Mr.. Foster in a very
unpleasant position, and at the same
time serves him exactly right. Had
he been attending to the duties Of his
high Office instead of meddling with
Ohio politics he would not be compell-
ed to attempt to deceive the working
men. If those plate printers were in.
competent or useless they were proper
ly discharged il not they should have
been retained. Mr.. Foster will prob
ably find enough work to do in 50 ar
ranging figures as to show a surplus
where deficiency exists without TAX
ing hand in politics. The dignity
and Importance of the Office which he
holds should cause Mr.. Foster to for
sake the ways of the wirepuller.

Ar TEE F0nrth Of July celebration

AT THE Fourth Of July celebration
at Tammany Hall, New York, a ven-
erable Ex-Governor of Delaware ex-
pressed indirectly, the hope that Gov
ernor Hill may be nominated for the
Presidency by the next national Demo-
cratic convention. While we do not
wish to deny the Ex-Governor the right
to express his private opinion on this
subject, yet we are aware Of the fact
that the great majority Of Delawareans
prefer the nomination Of Grover Clsye-
land to that Of any other man in the
country. The Ex-Governor, because
Of the high positions which he has oc-
cupisd, may be considered by many
who are not acquainted with the facts
Of the case as speaking for the people
OF Delaware, but such was not the
case because be did not wish to be so
uiderstood, nor would he willingly
mislsad the people Of New York in
such o way. 81 i
Delawareans are for Cleveland by a
lsrge majority, with Pattison as second
choice. Governor and Senator Hill is
too anxious to get into too many offices
at one time, and he does not measure
up to the standard set by Grover Cleve-
land ss q fearless and honest states
man 9 OF these facts Delawareans are
wellaware and it is now safe to say
that Delaware delegates will go to the
national convention as Cleveland men.

THE CHANCELLOR has ordered the
Levy Court to appear before him to-
morrow to show cause why an injunc.
tion should not be issued which will
prevent the Court from placing on the
duplicate four thousand names Of per-
sons who hold tax receipts, and who
were returned as delinqueDts. There
are crave doubts in the minds Of some
OF the members of the Levy Court and
the attorney for the Court as to
whetheror not these names should go
upon the duplicates. Those doubts
have arisen from the fact that many
persons hold receipts for taxes paid d.
rectly to Collectors, and yet who have
been returned by those Collectors as
not having paid /; it is serious ques-
tion whether or not man who has
actually paid his tax can be deprived
Of his right to vote byia clerical error
made by o collector, and this question
has placed Mr.. T.. G.. Bradford and
several members of the Levy Court in
very unpleasant positions.
The really dangerous and criminal
part Of the whole business is that the
receipts which the committee Of the
Levy Court had in charge, and which
that committee were ready to consider
sufficient evidence that the names
thereon written belonged to men who
have paid tax, seem to have been
bought st wholesale from persons who
had no right to sell in that way. If
any Collector has done any criminal
act he should be summarily punished.
The appointment Of men who are not
fitted for the Office OF Collector has re-
suited in the collapse Of the system.
To return to the subject in hand, we
believe The effort TO place these names
on the duplicate at this time to be the
work Of a few persons who are allowed
to engineer the Levy Court and who
should be either compelled to perform
the duties for which the government
pays them or be summarily elected
from The sinecures which they hold.
The error lists submitted by the Col
lsctors we're examined BY the Levy
Court and marked correct ; by that act
the Levy Court decided that these
names should be stricken from the
list /; to put them on at this time would
not only be contrary to law, but would
reverse the decision made by the Levy
Court in March.
