of the Wilmington Mail.
A great deal of comment is made in
regard to the poor mail messenger ser
vice done here. One of the wagons seen
carrying the mail from the postpliiGu to
the railroad stations would be disgrace
to huckster service. The poor sleepy,
old gray horse that drags the wagon is
hardly fit 10 put between the shafts.
Last winter on account OF the low
figures that Mail Messenger Grinnagc
took the contract for carrying the mails
from the postofiiue to the railroad sta
tions he goes out of business about $500
in debt. Many night it is said he had
not means enough to pay for the hay to
feed his horse.
The new messenger, Ringlanl, goes
on duty tonight. He takes the contract
at figures $500 below what GrinnagG
signed for. tle has TO pay for the ser-
vices OF Two or three men, two for day
duty and one for night work, also a
wagon and two horses.
Independent OF the fact Of the queg-
ton Of the security of the mails'Mnder
these conditions, there is no excuse
whatever for such extreme parsimony.
The Wilmington office, according 10 the
Generals report for 1893,
yielded net income to the government
Of $3S ,JSOS2. This is above all expenses.
For this reason the most secure and
first rate service in every particular and
detail, with an expenditure accordingly,
il what the citizens Of Wilmington are
entitled to.

Held to be Constitutional.

A recent decision by Judge Day OF the
Third Judicial Circuit, puts new phase on
the law to prevent and punish fraud in sales
of wearing apparel at public or private sale
by Inherent vendors, passed April %, 1884.
The judge holds the law TO be constitutions
al, and some Of the persons engaged in the
business may be brought up for violating its
provisions. No effort has been made to
comply with the law, the parties most inter-
ested assuming that it was unconstitutional
and absolutely void. The act requires itin-
erent yerdors of smoked, injured or bank
rupt wearing apparel to make under oath to
the secretary of state statement covering
the details of such bankruptcy, insolvency,
damages, etc. II further requires the ven
dors to deposit with Secretary OF State $500
license fee. Failing 10 comply with the
provisions of the act subjects the vendor to
severe penalties.
