Scene In restaurant-Time,
o'clock Monday. A farmer from
Brandywine Hundred enters, after
being around at the .postoifice, and
had b0en confronted with the follow
ing sign In large black letters on the
King street doors:
CLOSED
He asked the proprietor of the res
taurant what was the meaning of the
postoirlce being closed. "Why, "sait tho
restaurant man, don't you know that
it was closed by the sheriff under
orders from tho Republican Levy
Court. The farmer said: well, by
gosh, / knew darned well that those
Republicans would do Just such things
IL they ever got in office in Delaware.
lie really didn't know what the coun-
try was coming to anyhow when Il
Levy Court could do such things"
We'll" said the proprietor, 'the Gov
ernment has rented small room for
business for the present at the Clayton
House"
"Well," said the farmer "Its a good
thing the force bill failed to pass or
else white man would never have
been able to vote again in Delaware"
That's so, chlmed in bystander
"You would not have been able to vote
until you had received coat of black
paint"
"Well,n said the farmer, II have
voted the Democratic ticket for forty
years in Delaware, and things are COM
ing to a pretty pass when Levy
Court has the assurance to close up
the post Office and make other radical
changes in the political complexion of
New Castle County" He hoped and
prayed for better days and big crops.

The city of Burlington Is making mate
rial progress these days There has been
no time in recent years when a better feel
ing prevailed or when the outlook for the
future was more promising Some of the
industries already established here are max
ing Preparations to enlarge there plants,
while there is II good prospect that before
the alose of the year not only ono but "A
number of new industries will be established.
Our local columns since January / have
outlined some OF the prominent features of
the situation, but all these statements have
been made ON the side of conservatism. THE
halt has not been told Our people have
only to followup the vantage ground already
gained to make the promise of to-day n liv-
ing reality, and that promise is that the
year 1891 VIII witness greater material
growth und prosperity in this city than
Burlington has seen in the past quarter cen
fury.
Aud in this connection one thing should
not be lost sight Of The impetus that has
been given Burlngton's industrial interests
since the year came in has been largely the
result of individual effort and enterprise.
a man often has very little idea of whnt he
can do toward contributing to the growth
and prosperity of the town in which he lives
until he tries. Nothing succeeds like sue
cess. The upward movement is fairly in
auguratcd. Everybody can do something
to help it along. Even the chronic grum-
bers may contribute in a negative way by
keeping sti and permitting the procession
to pass by without giving it kick. Bur
lington is bound to grow and to prosper.
Let all contribute something to help along
the good work, if it be nothing more then
to speak good word for the best city in
New England.

Vermont Not Seeking Aid.

The other day tho Manchester Journal
published an item protesting against the
proposed action of Congress voting money
t. aid in irrgatng the arid lands of the
West. This brought from a Western paper
a characteristic retort concerning "puritan-
ical ru-illanimity," which in turn brings
from the Journal this spirited rejoinder:

THE KOCH LYMPH.


Marked lmprpV emcnt.
The cases in thi, city that are now being
treated with the Koch lymph are making
very satisfactory Improvement. The case
Of lupus at the Mary Fletcher Hospital, has
been unier treatment about four weeks,
ami j, progressing rapidly. The physicians
sta. hat no similar ca-c under any other
internal treatment began to improve 50
rapidly III the same length Of time There
are two cases OF tuDerculous glands of the
neck at the Providence Orphan Asylum,
that have been treated for a period of sew
cral weeks. They are showing as marked
Improvement as other cases of the same kind
that have been reported. One private
case of tie same disease has but recently
been taken in charge. The usual reaction
was eApeIgencei and there Is no reason to
doubt but that tho use of the remedy will
be attended with the same success rs in
other like cases Enough Of tho lymph is
on land to continue the treatment indeG-
nltely and new supply has hut recently
been received, while more is soon expected
1t Is now being manufactured in much
greater quantities Ill Germany and it is
probable that before long the preparation
Of the remedy will be undertaken in this
country.

ANOTHER INDUSTRY ASSURED.
New Buildings to be Erected for Bobbin,
spool and shuttle Works.


All residents of Burlington will rejoice to
learn that success has crowned the efforts of
Mayor w. "A. Crombe to induce the com
pany in which he is stakeholder to erect
buildings in this city for the accommoda-
ton of the bobbn, spool and shuttle bust
ness and that Burlington is thus assured an
other largely increased industry. The
American Bobbin, Spool and Shuttle COM
pany have succeeded to the business of the
Green ~ Wood Manufacturing company Mt
various points and they have decided TO
erect a large plant in this city. The factory
which tho Green q Wood company have
been running here employed about 100
hands, and this force will he doubled
during the coming year. Several build
iugs will be erected in the spring
and fitted up for large business The
new company controls valuable patents
which greatly reduce the cost of production
and the industry will be "a very import
ant oce. Owners of wood lands in this sec
ton will share with Burlington the benefit
to be derived from this manufacturing con-
Germ rs large quantities of hard woods will
be used in turning out the various products
of the mills. Had not Mayor Crombo
labored with unlagging zeal Burlington
would not have secured the new buildings
mentioned and would moreover have lost
an industry which has already become
an important factor in the city's industrial
growth and he deserves the thanks of all
public spirited citizens Evidently there
are very bright times ahead for Burlng-
ton.
