THERE is no use tanning the flames
of a fractional contest over the selection
of couple of tux collectors. While
We promptly admit that the Republi-
cans of the Southern district of Will
mington should have had one Of the
collectors, yet, after all, the whole
thing is a mere question OF the collec-
ton OF the taxes due the county. The
contest was not for party leaders TO
do the bidding of a party, but for
collections of taxes from the taxpayers
irrespective OF party. While Republi-
cans had their personal choice of col
leetors, this should never override the
other more important point, that col
leetors should not be managers OF a
political party while in Office, but
simply capable, polite county officials
with duty to perform in an efficient
manner Now that Messrs. Bradley
and Stidham have been appointed tax
collectors, nothing can be gained by
opposing them. They have fought
the battle and gained the victory; let
all loyal Republicans permit them to
enjoy the fruits of it, There are other
battles yet to be fought, and other vic
tories TO be won, that will be of more
Importance to the Republican party
than the mere matter OF whether d
collector of taxes lives above or below
II certain street. Let all loyal Repub
licans let the past go, and unite in q
grand crusade against the common
enemy. .u

The meeting OF leading citizens In
the Board OF Trade rooms yesterday
discloses the fact that the harbor of
Wilmington is entirely inadequate to
the business requirements of our large
and rapidly growing city. The ques-
ton DI'ises in this connection whether
the Christiana can be kept open suilt.
GENTLY wide and deep to accommodate
our fast growing industries, or
whether our shipbuilders should not
at once make preparations to get down
on the Delaware and not be made de-
pendent upon a narrow, tortuous
stream, all the time liable to fill up
from the refuse and debris OF great
manufacturing city.
If the Wilmington of $1,000 people
to-day is crowding the capacity of the
Christiana, what will the Wilmington
of 10000 people do quarter of a
century hence with the capacity OF tile
Christiana no greater than it is now
/. Population grows, but the water III the
Chrlstiana does not increase. Better
get down to where there is more
water. 1t is a great advantage, how,
eyer, to have the matter discussed by
our leading business men, who, in
making calculations for the future,
should not forget that Wilmington is
but In the infancy OF its prosperity
compared TO its maturity half cen
tufy hence.

Senator Quay has at last been driven
to make defense against the charges
that have boon hurled against him by
the Democratic papers and number
of Republican papers OF VITALITY in
Office while State Treasurer OF Penn
sylvania. The Senator has succeeded
in wonderful measure in dispelling
the suspicious Of the public as to any
wilful wrong doing, indeed 1t would
appear that Mr.. Quay even did more
than the law required to avoid even
the suspicion of being guilty, of any
act of injustice. The charges that
while treasurer of Pennsylvania he
used the public money for personal
benefit and became a defaulter
to the. State, is dispelled by
the Senator showing that the
affair occurred before he was
elected State Treasurer, and that the
defaleation charged was under Mr..
kemble, Democratic State Treasurer,
and even then it was State Treasurer
Kemble's private secretary that de-
faulted and not Mr. Quay. The latter,
however, being in company with the
private secretary, in doing business,
borrowed on his own Responsibility
300, 600 to make good the loss OF the
secretary. Mr., Quay should have an.
swored these charges sooner, though
at this late day his vindication may
perhaps be the more complete. Now

Gated himself, SO far as relates to using
money not his own, let him stick tc

Every report of good crops and
prosperous times for the farmers is
an additional thorn in the sides of
the Democratic calamity walters.
The Democratic party has always
prospered most when the people suf-
fered most, and it is for that reason
that it breads the era of prosperity
which is now dawning upon the
country. brought about by Republi-
can legislation, and which we would
have had long ago had the Republi-
cans controlled all branches of the
Government, as they did during the
first two years Of President Har-
rison's administration. And it is a
matter for congratulation that the
Democratic House of Representa-
tives, which was elected by false
representation to the people, will
not be able to undo the good work
done by the Republican House,
much as the Democrats would enjoy
doing it, and that the attempts that
are certain to be made in that direc
ton will only convince the people
of the country of the necessity of
electing Republican House and
President next year.

President Cleveland said:
81 have not been requested by
the Ohio Democrats to make speech
es in their State during the pending
canvass. do not expect to take
part in the campaign there nor in
any other state and l have never
given the slightest intimation of an
intention to do so. / am convinced
that Governor Campbell and all
other fair minded political friends
will understand that if decline to
90 upon the stump, there are per
fectly good and valid reasons fo,
nv action entirely consistnnt with q
most earnest desire for the success
of all democratict candidates in
Ohio or elsewhere. Of course, I
anticipate the cry will be raised in
certain quarters, if such a request
is made and declined, that | am
selfish and Indifferent TO the success
of the nominees Of my party, but
such ill-natured accusations / do
not expect to escape in any event."

the Republican convention should
nominate him he will accept. With
the popular feeling in the Republi-
can party that Mr.. Blaine is the
strongest candidate that it can pre-
sent, this declaration is likely to
crystalize the Presidential situation
in the Republican party very rapid
ly, especially as there is now no
longer any question but that Mr.
Blaine is sound ply sically, and near
ly recovered from his recent indis-
position. The growth of trade with
South American countries under
reciprocity will make "Blaine and
business" a popular cry if Mr..
Blaine should be the party nominee.
