NOW FOR A FIGHT.
The Colored Voters VIII Demand
Political Recognition.

They Want Colored Men on the Police
FORGE and VIII Vote Against Wiley
Fair Warning Given by the "Delaware
Twilight"
The Delalodre TioiIigit, organ of the
Wilmington colored people, appeared
Thursday enlarged to an eight-page
paper, and with brissling lot of politi-
cal gossip that indicates war in the Re-
publican camp during the pending local
campaign. Fair notice is given that the
colored voter proposes to have practical
political recognition at the hands OF the
Republican party or know the reason
why. Here are few extracts bearing
upon this point in Thursdays issue;
Ii the Republican party expect to OBJ.
tain a solid vote from colored men at
the coming municipal election, they
must assure us of representation ac-
cording to population. Nothing but a
square bargain will satisfy us.
The Republican party requests col
ored voters support for all State, county
and municipal offices of honor and trust,
but colored men get left, We should
have representation according TO popu-
lation in all departments. We are an
important factor with increasing deter
mination to have our share of the spoils.
"Patience has ceased to be virtue.
We can only be induced to support par
ties when assured Of fair play. This is
no false alarm or buncomhe harangue,
as future developments will certify
beyond doubt.
William II. Clayton would make a
gallant City Councilman for the colored
citizens of the welfth ward.

d. Fonts Grent Achievements.

The Washington correspondent of the
Baltimore SIN says: The 1u Pont powder
works have been able to make considerable
improvement in their brown prismatc
powders for high-power guns, and a recent
delivery to the navy department of powder
for eight.inch guns has shown results
hitherto unattained either in this country
or abroad In test ut the naval ordinance
proving ground it gave to the projectile a
velocity Of ., 100 feet per second, witha pres
sure iii the powder chamber Of but l4.s
tons per square inch. This is equivalent to
an increase in the power Of the gun,
which is designed togive an initial velocity
of but 20S0 feet, with chamber pressure
of Is tons The Improvements in the
powder have been such as tngive it greater
uniformity of combustion, so that the
speed of the projectile is more gradually
accelerated until it leaves the muzzle Of
the gun, while at the same time the strain
on the gun itself is diminished and more
evenly distributed Throughout the whole
mass of metal, thus increasing the life Of
the gun. While greater initial yeloctie'
have been attained abroad they have
necessitatcd great increases of chamber
| pressure, subiecting the guns to undue
strain and considerably shortening theil
| lives

wicomlco Peaches Iniured.

The cold and frosty nights of last
week have damaged the Wicomico, Md,
peach crop alarmingly. Many growers
mournfully declare that the buds are
totally destroyed; some Others say that
half of the young fruit is dead, while
some other farmers, whose opinion has
been sought, say that 80 per cent Of all
the buds will not come to good. The
most conservative orchardists are
unanimous in the belief that the peach
crop Of 1891 in Wicomico county will
be very small, but that some fruit may
be expected should the conditions in the
future be favorable.

Denouncing Bishop Fowler's Arbitrary
Action for the Removal of Presiding
Elder Ayres.
The stewards Of Salisbury district,
Methodist Episcopal Church, attached
to the Wilmington annual conference,
have adopted resolutions protesting
against the action of Bishop Fowler in
removing their presiding elder, Rev 7.
o. Ayres, before the expiration of his
term limit The change was made by
Bishop Fowler at the Centeryille con
ference in March, when Rev, w. F..
Corkran was appointed in place of Mr.
Ayres. A large number of other
changes were made among the minis
tiers, but no other change of presiding
elder. Salisbury district includes the
eastern shore counties of Virginia,
Somerset, Worcester, Wicomico and
Dorchester, Md, and Sussex county,
this State. The stewards held their
meeting yesterday in Asbury Church,
Salisbury. The paper they adopted
was lengthy document, in the pre-
amble of which they affirm answering
| loyalty to the Methodist Church and re-
gard for the bishops, as we'll as respect
| for the polity of the church, but yet as
laymen feel compelled to protect against
the summary manner in which Mr.
Ayres was removed from his office
without heing given the slightest init
nation of the purpose Of the bishop.
The resolutions condemn the removal
as unwarranted, because he had done
good and faithful service in the office
and had no opportunity to defend him.
