Connected with the prospective action
of the Levy Court in relation to the ac-
ceptance OF the Cherry Island Marsh
company's bridge and the consequent
opening to public travel Of Seventh
street east of the railroad comes the
thought, which we commend to the at
tention of the taxpayers Of Wilmington
what has Seventh street done TINT we
should go on consenting to its being
blocked off simultaneously with our ex-
penditure of $500,00o towards the i'm
provement Of other streetsg 1t offers
tho only gateway to the Brandywine
peninsula and the shortest cut TO the
Fourth street emhankment in which
$1,000 of the peoples money has
been lying idle for the past ten
years. II the Levy Court accepts the
bridge-and it is fully as worthy of ac-
ceptance as either the original bridges
at Third and Eleventh streets-then
Seventh street must 60 through, the
Brandywinc peninsula will begin to be
built up and otherwise improved and a
second route will be opened to the Della
ware water front, to which the Will
mington Of the future is going to inter,

more liberal tariff laws will restore tc
this country before many years have

The Morning Neios regards tho pas
sage by the House of Representatives
on Monday Of the Chinese Exclusion
bill as betrayal Of national obligations
and "a shame to the country" This is
about the truth, and such proscriptive
legislation smacks rather Of the middle
ages than of the nineteenth century.
But the cry The Chinese must SO" is
neither new one, nor is it party
slogan. The act of 1882, which is about
to expire by limitation, and which this
more drastic measure is designed to
supersede, received the approval of
President Arthur, and we venture the
prediction that if the act just passed
by the House reaches President
Harrison he will not venture to
veto it. Say what You please about the
abstract right or morality of the thing.
When it comes to anti-Chinese leglsla-
ton sit is condition and not theory
that confronts US, and the condition is
that the great masses Of the American
! people, without respect to party lines,
antecedent nationality or race, are down
on the Chinese and will not have them
here if they can keep them out In the
vote of Monday there was no drawing
of party lines. Republicans as we'll as
Democrats voted for the bill and the
most Of those who did not vote for il
were careful not to vote against it. Elk.
Speaker Reed is among those recorded
as not voting. OF the AZ members whc
possessed sufficiently the courage 81
their convictions to take the NOR,
manly course Of voting against the bill
"a were Democrats and 10 Republicans
We shall see what the Senate and Prcsi
dent Harrison will do with this bill
when it reaches them. Abstractly con
sidered, as we say above, the bill is in
defensible, but if this is TO remain
white mans country we dare not opel
our doors to wholesale Monaghan immi
grafton. The line must be drawn some
where, in self-defence, against natio
populous enough to overwhelm thi
country and hardly miss the millions
wonld take to do ii, and whose peopl
do not assilnilate with ours, do not DC
come Americans and would not com

The news Of the death Of Hon. Will
lard salisbury, over eighteen years past
Chancellor of the State of Delaware and
in earlier life conspicuous among the
brilliant members of the United States
Senate, comes unexpectedly to the
people Of Delaware. Though laboripg
long under the burden Of physical in
trinity, he was apparently us well as
usual Tuesday afternoon and even his
own household seem to have had no
premonition that death was drawing
nigh. With what pathos Of remem-
brance, in this hour, the words
come up with which he took his scat in
the United States court room in this
city but few weeks ago to perform
the closing public duty of his long and
useful life: "Pity the sorrows of q
poor old man." Heard in retrospection
those words and the feeling with which
he quoted them come up now as an
indication that he may have felt more
keenly and wildly than any who sat in
his presence that his course on earth
was nearly run-how nearly no one in
that assemblage thought at the time.
In our local columns we tell the story
of his closing moments and of his long
public service. His whole life career
was part, and an important part, d
the history Of his native State, His bes
years ana his eminent ability were con
secrated to that service. He leavej
behind him a name imperishable and /
record that every young man who woult
when old age shall come to him b,
worthy of the honor and esteem of hi
fellow-men may study with profit. II
few will it be given to emulate the bril-
liant intellect that age and intirmit,
could not becloud; but to each, accord
ing to his ability and deserving, the les
son of the life Of him who has gone re
mains to guide him to do the best h
can and to deserve in the ripencss G
years the verdict of swell done"

Money represents value, and becomes
the essence of all instant, concurrent,
present, business transactions, but its
greatimportance as measures seen most
in deferred contracts; that is, business
agreements which are to be fulfilled in
the future. The actual value of money
is less important in cash transaction
that when the parties to it agree that its
contamination shall not take place for
years. In a case, for instance, where A
lends B $1,000 payable in ton years
You see at once itbecomes a vital matter
to A to know that the $1,000 loaned to-
day shall come back to him in bills OF
coin worth $1,000, and not 800. On
the other hand, it is equally important
to B that when the time comes for pay.
