IT is pity about the New York Sun.
The astuteness Of the editor exceeds the
strength of his Democratic tendencies: :
his passion for dialectic discourse exceeds
his admiration for Cleveland. Histori
cally speaking the Sun has never
advocated the nomination Of Cleveland
or supported his candidacy. In the FIRST
race the Sun was captivated by Ben But.
Ter beauties and a certai unmentionabie
accessory, In the second race the
Sun supported Thurman aud did
what it could for combination
Of Hill and Harrison. In the third race
it rename piouly neutral like the
supernumerary preacher at revival who
will neither pray nor preach because the
other brothers draw all the funds
Hence, IL is not strange now, that the
Sun is leading the pack with the distress
ing cry that President Cleveland has
split the Constitution wide open in
adjusting the Hawaiian muddle.
OF course. it is pity that
the Sun feels so bad; but it is the
Sun habit to feel bad 1t is the Suns
misfortune to talk even worse than (,
feels It is impossible for the Sun to
agree with any body, except, perhaps, the
Chinese philosopher, Confucius 80 and
Senator Hill The Sun is never happ,
unless it is thoroughly miserable. It has
been more passionately and persistently
miserable because of its racket about
Queen Liliuokalani than it was in advo

for the same reason Il is matter o.

In reply to EVERY EVENINGS ex-
preston of surprise that ex-Collector
Barlow, Brandywine hundred man,
should have failed to anticipate Collec-
tor Townsend's discovery of thai big oil
shipping port on Delaware territory,
Surveyor Farra states that it was the
recent readjustment of the boundary
line between Delaware and Pennsyl-
yania that brought about this geograph.
ical revelation. This relocation of the
boundary was not made in Mr.. Barlow's
term and therefore the question did not
come up. The boundary line, as now
surveyed and marked, was adopted and
fixed by resolution of the joint commits
sion at a meeting held April 18th last,
and the setting OF the new boundary
stones was finished on April 26th. This
work demonstrated that the oil wharf,
formerly tributary to the Philadelphia
district, is really 600 feet within the
Delaware line.

"That the country is not really dis
turbed'by the spectre Of free trade which
has been so freely exhibited to it by the
political opponents Of the administra-
ton is concIusiyely demonstrated, )" says
the Philadelphia Ledger, "by the many
convincing proofs Of returning pros
perity and industrial activity which are
everywhere presented. y y In
short, all the evidence is directly 10 the
point that the Sherman bill was
primarily the cause, and the only visible
one, of the late financial and mercantile
disturbance, and the assurance of its
repeal has been the cause of returning
confidence and prosperity. The Senate
should understand this, and with all
possible dispatch concur uncondition-
ally with the vote of the House for re-
peal. The act, must and will be re-
pealed, as the demand for its repeal by
the country has been SO general and
emphatic as to render resistance tc

which It must do the Senate should dc

us so busy illuminating the glass ques-
ton, that Senator Higgins speech of
last Friday was in the main sound and
creditable one, so long as he adhered to
the silver issue. He was tempted to
make short incursion into the
whoop-up-the-tariff field, in the
course of his remarks, but he didn't
stay there long. Particularly good was
his rejoinder to Mr.. Mitchell that the
substitution OF "ounces" for "dollars"
In the purchase clause Of the Sherman
act was not a "mistake" until silver fell
to below dollar an ounce. And we
are pleased to hear Mr.. Higgins say
that "there has never been a day
from the time when the confidence on
which we voted for that bill proved
to be an unmitigated delusion that

peal Of the act. The reason voted fol

We infer from what we have read of
Governor McKinley's treatment of the
tariff question, in his speech of Tues
day week, that he must have prepared
that speech about month too soon. He
draws dismal picture of things as they
existed before the House voted on the
repeal of the Sherman bill, with idle
factories and idle men everywhere, mills
closed and everything going to the dogs,
and then asks if lower tariff will re-
klndle these extinguished factory fires.
Since then these closed mills have been
reopening, these extinguished factory
fires have many Of them been rekindled,
these idle men have been returning to
work, and this, too, in spite Of the fact
that the work OF reforming the tariff has
been actively entered on. Mr.. McKin-
ley must either revise his speech up to
date and confess the scare to have beer
a financial one, or face the alternative
suggested by Bradstreets:: SIS conf

Lewis, ex-associated judge Of the orphans
court of Cecil county, and one of Cecil's
most prominent Democrats, dropped dead
this afternoon about o'clock, at his resi-
dence on Howard street.
Judge Lewis was native of Cecil
county and was about So years of age. He
represented Cecil county in the Legislature
OF Maryland and at the session Of 1882.
ELKToN, Nd, Sept. 19.-James A.
Lewis was born in New Castle
county, Del, in the year 1929. He was
for many years a justice of the peace.
In 1889 he was elected to the Maryland
Legislature on the Democratic ticket.
He was twice elected to the position of
associate judge of the orphans court,
the first time in 1871 and the other in
1875. He was for many years private
secretary of John M. Clayton of Della
ware, and it was he who wrote out the
famous "Bulwer treaty." at the dicta-
ton of Clayton, between this country
and England. He married Miss Lizzie
Clayton, daughter of Thomas Clayton.

Governor Tillman,s chief dispenser Of

Governor Tillman's chief dispenser OF
liquors in South Carolina is reported to
be in trouble with his church. Charges
have been preferred against him for
holding position incompatible with
his duty as Christian, and he will
either have to resign his church mem
bership or his office. The constitution
ality of the law giving the State the
monopoly of the liquor selling business
is also being attacked. 1t is argued,
and with good deal of plausibility,
that if the States has the legal right to
monopolize the sale OF liquor, it has a
similar right to monopolize the sale of
bread or beef or boots or any other arti-
Gle of merchandise. Furthermore there
is steadily increasing sale of liquor on
the sly and in disregard of the law re-
ported from various sections of the
State and the outlook is that the ex-
pected revenue from the State sales will
be cut down to less than one-half Of
the original estimates. Between these
discouragements and drawbacks the lot
of the governor can hardly be a happy
one.

PERMISSION TO STRING WIRES
Along the Streets Asked by the Whining
ton Light, Heat and Power COMPANY.

Along the streets ASKED by the winning
ton Light, Heat and Power Company.
The Wilmington Light, Heat and
Power Company has petitioned the
Street and Sewer Department for per-
mission to erect poles and string wires
along the streets according to the com
mercial requirements asked for in its
charter.
Preston Lea and Willard Salisbury
are the principal stockholders in the
company. The commission informed
Mr.. salisbury that there exists no OBJ
lection on the part of the department,
but the directors would first like to know
upon what streets the company desire
to erect the poles. Mr.. Salisbury added
that he thought the company would
erect its plant sometime this fall. The
Wilmington City Railway Company, in
which the stockholders OF the light, heat
and power company are interested, fore
sees that it will soon be necessary to erect
an additional plant at some point in the
city. The idea is to use the excess OF
power for commercial purposes. 1t Is
understood that the company proposes
to run its wires first along the streets
where the electric railway is. The com,
pany, it is reported, may make bids fol
some share in the city lighting.
