The sketch OF J. Edward Addicks' gas
operations summarized in the Boston
correspondence of the New York Egen-
sae Post, reprinted elsewhere, reads like
a chapter from the record Of the motto
rious Credit Mbbilier. The manner in
which Mr.. Adaicks, the gas company.
contracted with Mr.. Addicks, the con.
struction company, to erect an $500. 900
plant for consideration Of $4,000 900
parallels very closely the operations of
the Credit Mohilier ring. 1t was good
speculation for Mr.. Addlcks, but the gas
consumers Of Boston do not seem IL
appreciate it in that light. The 3ay
State Gas Company of Delaware figures
as one OF several subsequent ventures
thatcame into being rs an offshoot or ex.
tension of the original transaction. The
Egenin9 Post correspondent reports that
the Boston deal is to be thoroughly in
vestigated and that movement L ON
foot to get the Legislature 10 annul the
contract under which Mr.. Addicks
swallowed the old gas companies. This
Investigation will possibly yield some.

The Philadelphia Eoentag Telegraph,
Rep, reports "that the administration
sent a flag of truce to Quay, showed
him the post-offlces, the custom houses,
and the internal revenue offices, and
said all these shall be yours In exchange
for the delegates labelled and ticketed
Blaine, and in the market and ready to
be sold or bartered by Quay to the
highest bidder; and the Beaver states
man forgot his wrath against Benjamin,
and accepted the offer. The result is
that Senator Quay is to have that Presi-
Dental recognition which he claims TO
be his due, and that President Harrison
is to have in compensation therefor the
national delegates from Pennsylvania.
The bargain and sale of delegates, of A
nomination, of the Presidency, is thus
to be consummated by these two high
contracting parties-a thing very pleas
liant to consider, and yet thing which
compels the inevitable questions: Where
do the people come in? What part or
share or voice are they to have in
choosing their Chief Magistrate? If
Harrison and Quay are to choose the
President, what are the people here
for?"

WILMINGTON. THURsDAT, MAR. 10.
Hon. John W. Oaus ey introduced in


Hon. John w. Causky introduced in
Congress on Saturday a resolution
which is expected TO bring to light some
interesting facts relating to pensions.
The resolution calls OH the Secretary of
the Interior for information as to the
number of pensioners now carried on
the rolls who are not citizens of the
United States, and the amount of PEN
sions paid them. In speaking Of this
resolution to correspondent, Mr.. Causey
said he understood the United States was
the only country in the world which
paid pensions to persons who were not
citizens or residents Of it. He was in
formed that our pension rolls now con-
tain the names of thousands OF such
alien pensioners, and that they arc paid
annually between eight and ten millions
of dollarsl In view of the fact that the
extravaganza of the Billion Dollar Con-
gress has now made it necessary to cut
OH appropriations for public buildings,
rivers and harbors, and other improve
ments demanded by the whole people,
Mr.. Causey thought the time had come
to look into the matter of paying pen
sions to foreigners, with view to saw
ing a little money in that direction.
These foreigners had come TO this coun-
try, attracted by thu large bounties and
the compensation they could obtain by
enlisting in the army, and when the war
was over they returned to their homes
in France, Germany and England.
They knew nothing about our govern
ment; they were inspired by no patriotic
motives, and no doubt most OF them
would have Joined the Confederate
armies just as readily if they could have
sold their services to as good pecuuiary
advantage on that side. The United
States owes them nothing.

our great Six Stock. The
chief of the Silks puts the yer.
nacular through the widest
gymnastics in description of
the stock-its vastness and its

in the Transept. And there
should be. No reasonable or
unreasonable demand can be
made on our Dress Silks that
the stock will not satisfy. Alb
surdity only might be disap-
pointed.
And this explains why the
800 feet of Silk counter space
is insufficient to accommodate
the throngs of buyers and
why the sales show handsome

TRADE NOT HURT by CHOLERA.

Business Goes On without Regard To the
Pestilence-Dun's Review.
r. G. Dun & Co S weekly review of trade
says:
Cholera has landed, and the business of
New York goes on exactly as If 1t had not.
The selling of stocks has been quite
heavy, and the decline in prices has aver
aged about 81 a share for all the active
list. Money Is in ample supply, and the
demand from the interior Is less than
usual at this season. but large amounts
are held out OF the loan market by people
who are looking for exceptional oppor-
tunities to buy cheaply. Money has been
steady at per cent, while foreign eX-
change has fallen so far that exports OF
gold are Improbable. The Treasury has
added $1,000. 900 gold and 5000, 900 silver
TO its stock while putting out 100000 ad-
ditional paper. Here, as in all parts OF
the country, the supply of money Is ample
for legitimate needs, and the shrinkage OF
speculation Is helpfQl as regards the pos
sibility Of nonetary pressure later. The
business failures occurring throughout
the country during the last seven days
number 1872 as compared with totals OF 170
last week. For the corresponding week OF
