FUN AT HAZEL DELL.
Prominent Business Men TO Drive Their
Horses In Trial Speed Contests.

Prominent Business Men TO Drive Their
Horses In Trial Speed Contests.
For some time past there has been a
contention between a dozen prominent
Wilmington men as TO who owned the
best horses. Race after race has occurred
on the Causeway, but these were never de-
cisive because unfair tactics were resorted
to and the horses were hitched to differs
ent kinds of turnouts. All of the horse
are thoroughbreds and beautiful movers
but none have ever made records on the
track.
About week ago IL was agreed to
classify all of the horses, arrange pub
lie meeting and trot and pace the ami
mails in final trials of speed in accordance
with the rules of the National Trotting
association. The rules further provide
that only the owners of the horses
should drive their prancing steeds.
Accordingly the track of the Whining
ton Fair association at Hazel Dell was
secured, and it was decided to have the
trials of speed on Thursday afternoon
No purses will be offered and no admis-
sion anywhere win be charged. Some
great horse contests are expected, and
the grounds will doubtless be crowded
with lovers of the turf.

IT would seem that the business Of
preaching the gospel Of Jesus Christ
should engage all Of the time and at.
tehtion Of any ordinary man; but the
colored people are complaining that
several Of their pastors cannot find
enough religious work to do and are now
using their surplus holiness in the inter
est Of Republican politics There are
few men who can mix religion with poll.
tics to the advantage of either There are
fewer preachers who wish to become mix.
ers who have the confidence Of the people
as either preachers or politicians. The at
tempt to mix politics and religion is
never made except by a man who has a
very poor quality Of both. The mixture
deteriorates both and ruins the mixer as
well. He is not a worthy follower Of the
Master who taught that ministers should
render unto Cesar those things which
were Caesars; hence he is almost uni
versally recognized as base politician.
After compromising with his conscience
in the great affair he is thoroughly con.
scienceless in all other affairs All the
more so, because like a hypocrite he per
suades himself that he is doing Gods
service in politics.

THERE are many signs of the weaken
ing Of the protectionist sentiment among
the politicians, the business men and
particularly among the farmers Of the
Northwest who have been its strongest
supporters next to the Pennsylvania
benefciaries. The most important coa-
verts, however, are the rich members of
the great trusts whose influence has
heretofore been all-powerful The New
York Times, regarded as one of the
ablest and most reliable newspapers on
financial and commercial matt ers in an
article on the stock markets by its stock
market reporter says
In connection with some of these in
dustrial stocks which are affected by the
tariff, IL is obvious that the managers are
working TO get their business into such
shape as to be independent Of that arti-
fetal aid. AS keen sighted business men
they see that the fight between protec.
ton and free trade is no temporary
affair Il is to be long fight and a fight
to the finish and Il is not going to be set
tied by the next Presidential election
whichever way that goes. A sagacious man
whose business is mixed up in the very
thick of the contest would naturally
want to get it into an independent posi-
tion and the only logical inference from
what, for example, the National Cordage
managers are doing is that they are
working to place their business on that
solid ground. II is said that when the
plans they are working at are perfected.
they will be quite Independent of such
artificial aid as statutory enactments
give; in other words, that with free trade
in all their products they will be ON a
solid foundation.
1t seems probable that a sagacious bust
ness man would have some doubts of be-
ing able to continue a policy of fraud
and deceit, and that he would strive to
put his business in position where it
will be independent of artificial aid Il
is inevitable,that the'scheme Of protection
m ust fall or fail If it does not finally
fail to protect it will fall before the
anger of an indignant and
incensed people. More than half of the
people have voted against the protec-
tive tariff as legalized robbery al
ready. In 1891 it caused the defeat OF
the Republican party so sudden and
complete that It has completely upset the
policy Of that party. Unjust be dullard
OF business man who cannot read from
these signs that the people are in earnest
that the sham, the lie, the robbery OF
this tax for pauper industries must be
caught and crushed.

IT seems impossible TO form a correct
idea of the state Of affairs at Homestead.
The news is favorable to the side from
which it emanates. The locked-out men
say one thing and the Carnegies say
another thing. The only conclusion the
reader can arrive at is that the weakest
side, the laborers, are gradually giving
way before the impregnable position of
capital in protected monopoly, en-
trenched behind laws which their votes
assisted to force upon an unwilling people
The ballot is the only means by which
the insolence and injustice Of the pro
tected industries can be cured The
workingmen have been voting for higher
wages and greater profits, both of which
must inevitably be paid by the toiling
mass Of consumers who buy the goods at
high prices. If the master has his pro-
fits while the men failed of their wages
il is nothing more than may be expected
of the robbery they both have been com
hitting.

THE astronomers are becoming in
censed at and acrimonious toward Mars
on account Of the deceptive now-you see
them-and-now-youdon't canals. Some
say they are single, some say they are
double. Schiaparelli is the only man
who has seen them. He may have seen
double. He is the only expert, however,
on martian history having been peeping,
almost exclusively, at Mars, from little
telescopein Florence for about forty years
Flammaiion says that Schiaparelli pre-
dicted that the other fellows would not be
a bic to see double canals during this APP
pearance because It was not the right
season. Professor Hall and Dr. Swift
dont.say much at ALL they try not to
commit themselves till they have heard
from friend down in Peru or have seen
the photographs and other romances from
Mt Hamilton in California Meanwhile
there are a great many fellows who do
not know where 60 find Mars, who are
keeping mum and layin' low on the entire
controversy, because there is really moth
ing in it for them.
