The Habit Condemned of Those who
Depreciate the Diamond State building.
Editor of The Gazette: / have been a
constant reader of the Wilmington
papers, and have noted with much re-
greet that ii is apparently the style for
Delawareans to find fault in some man
ner or form with each and everything
pertaining to Delaware's connection
with the Worlds Fair.
do not know personally the cause of
the oft-repeated dissatisfaction which
has been manifested at times almost to
malignity by some people, but l for
one, land sincerely believe that all
Delawareans who have visited the Fair
will bear me out in my opinion) think
that the State managers and the people
who have had charge of the Delaware
Building here have acquitted themselves
in creditable way, not only to them
selves but to the State. Handicapped as
they were for want of money, they have
made their building one Of the attrac-
tons among their many more preten-
tious neighbors.
If there be any personal feeling be-
tween persons who represent various
interests it is time that they should
realize that the present is not the time
to foment discord and ill-feeling, but
should emulate our glorious forefathers,
who, by their concerted action, made
Delaware not only the first" State Of
the Union, but made it grand heritage
for us to be counted as one of her chill
dren.
Let the people of the State inquire OF
their friends who have been fortunate
enough to have been here whether they
were not pleased with their building,
and if am not greatly mistaken they
will reply, as would, that after seeing
what has been accomplished they can
truly say they are proud TO be mum.

Ambassador Bayard writes in pri-
vate letter: at is perfectly plain to me
that it is simply and absolutely essential
that the unit and standard of value as
now measured in gold must be PRESCRIBED.
Arguments as to the scarcity of the
yellow metal do not touch the moral
necessities of the case. Human con-
tracts can only be proceeded with in
strict adherence to the honest stipula-
tons given and received. With that as
surance credit will revive and will abide,
and when that confidence exists the
need of metal money for the exchanges
Tor, rather, balance of exchanges) will
grow less and less"

than Reber and his sou Frank were on
the mountain yesterday, the latter
became tired and sat down to rest, the
former proceeding homeward. The son
not returning search was made and he
was lying with his head in pool Of
water, eight inches deep. From his posi-,
ton, when found, it is surmised that he
fell backwards in a faint and was
strangled by the water.

News comes that two professional
rain makers have been operating in
Mclean county, Illinois, with such sue
cess that the people are about to pay
them $500 for their services. There had
been a six-weeks' drouth when the
cloud teasers appeared on the scene.
Their advent was followed by steady
rain that took in the whole county
though we are not Informed that it was
strictly confined within county lines
and it is reported that the farmers are
SO well satisfied that they will cheerfully
foot the bill.

Editor Of The Gazette: Over 80 years

nothing better for horse or mule than
one peck of mature ripe peaches three

Councilman Stats is little late with
his premature peach ordinance-that is,
for this season. 1t would have been a
good thing month ago, for never has
Wilmington seen such abominable dis.
plays of diseased fruit as flooded the
market during the greater part of the
past month, but the glut of prematures
is about over and better fruit is now
coming in. Still, the proposed ordi-
nance will be in good time for the
season of 1894, when VIC shall probably
have very few peaches of any kind.
The crop is apt to run that way-a poor
yield following a season of plenty.

The first Celestial deported under the
provisions of the Geary law was shipped
from San Francisco last week. He was
one of gang that came into the United
States by way of the Mexican frontier.
Should the Chinese government refuse
to permit him to be landed, when re-
turned, what then? Even the Geary
law will hardly warrant the steamship
company dumping him overheard in
mid-ocean.

promised to communicate at once with his
government III regard To il.
Upon communicating with his gov
eminent NJ. de Staal was informed that
Russia would like to have the regula-
tons which might be agreed upon for
Behring Sea extended to that portion of
the latter in which the Commander
Islands are situated, and also to the Sea
of OkhotslS, in which Roboen Island Is
situated; TO which Mr.. Bayard replied,
on April 18th, that this government had
no objection to the proposed extension.
About the same time Lord Salisbury,
with view to meeting the Russian
governments wishes, suggested that,
besides the whole of Behring Sea, those
portions Of the Sea of Okhotsk and of
the Pacific ocean north of latitude 47o
should be included in the proposed ar
rangement. His lordship further in
timated that the period proposed by the
United States for a close season, April
18th to November LIST, might interfere
with the trade longer than absolutely
necessary for the protection of the seals
and he suggested October LIST, instead of
a month later, as the termination of the
period of seal protection, To this Mr..
Bayard replied, on May list:
Only such period is desired as may be
requisite for the end in view. But in order
that success may be assured in the efforts
inf the vnrinna Tod il,
the protection of the seals. it seems ad-
visable to take the 18th of October instead
OF the list, as the date of the close season,
although, as am now advised, the LIST of
November would be safer.
Thus matters stood, with the govern
ments of the United States, Great
Britain, Russia and Japan working in
harmony to achieve the end desired by
them all, when the negotiations were in
terrupted by the rejection, by the
Senate, of the fisheries treaty (rclating
to the rights Of American fishermen in
the territorial waters of Canada and
Newfoundland) and the irritation and
trouble growing out Of that action. In
this matter the Senate placed the United
States government in the position of de-
handing one law for the Atlantic and a
totally antagonistic law for the Pacific,
which would have been sufficient of it,
self to block negotiations, without the
emphatic remonstrance of Canada, con-
yeyed to Lord Salisbury in June, 1888
Five years have gone by and we have
finally secured, through arbitration and
after great deal of backing and filling
an arrangement less favorable thar
Great Britain stood ready to conced,
in 1888, and an arrangement to which
Great Britain and the United States ar,
the only parties and in which tho CO

Pension appropriations for the cur
rent fiscal year, according to recent
estimate by the Pension Bureau, quoted
by Bradstreet's, will amount to over
$166,000,000. The bulk of this, about
$161, 100000, will go for army pensions;
the remainder being divided between
navy pensions and expenses Of various
kinds. There is already some question
whether these appropriations, large as
they are, will be sufficient to cover the
expenditures required, and general
belief that deficiency appropriation
will be needed. And the war ended

The tests that have been made of iron
and steel ties for railroads are reported
by an exchange to have demonstrated
that such ties do not last much longer
than wood, besides being liable, from
their rigidity, to strains and movements
which properly constructed and prop
erly laid wooden ties can ordinarily
resist. Perhaps the proper form or con.
struction of metal ties has not yet been
learned, but apparently the tests which
have been made in this country have
convinced some Of the railroad COM
panies that were thinking of using ties
of this description, that they had better,
for the present at least, continue to pur-
chase and lay wooden sleepers and
endeavor to prolong their durability by
the adoption of some method for arrest
ing the natural decay of the wood.
Various preparations for this purpose
are being experimental with, and some
degree of success is said to be promised.

The Boston Herald speaks in high APP
probation of the deliyerance of Henry
Cabot Lodge, the junior Republican
Senator from Massachusetts, on the
silver question. 1t was an admirable
speech in support of his resolution for
the prompt and unconditional repeal of
the silver purchase clause of the Sher-
man act, says that paper. at was
clear, concise statement of the case
against that pernicious act Mr.. Lodge
struck hard and straight and his telling
blows went home. We notice with plea
sure that he did not attempt to explain
away his action in supporting three
years ago the policy which he condemns
to-day. 1t is very much better to keep
silence on that point and to frankly ac-
cept the charge Of inconsistency than to
offer, as his colleague, Senator Hoar has
done, a preposterous explanation that
only serves to cover its presenter with
ridicule. Mr.. Lodge voted wrong in
1890; he is very DESTROYS of an early
chance 10 vote right to-day"
In the speech to which the Herald
refers, Senator Lodge took his stand on
patriotism before partisanship, saying,
among other things:
Something was said in the debate that
sprung up the other day about politics in
this matter. There can hardly be politics
in my resolution, which is in direct line
with the wise and urgent recommendation
| Of the President for immediate repeal
For my part, l do not think it is cues

is great crisis upon this country at this
moment. There is an amount of suffering
going on and astill larger amount promised
the like of which l. at least, in my life have
never seen. In the presence of such {
crisis as that for one believe that thu
usual arts of politics or party management
