Wilmington Needs Deep water.

Wilmington is destined to be a large
city. It remains to be seen whether the
present generation will nal use of It's
great natural advantages and make IL
such, or leave the task for future genera
tions to perform.
The city is recognized railroad
centre. It occupies sn envlable position
on two Of the great lines which connect
the North and the South, to say nothing
Of the other and shorter railroads which
centre here and serve as feeders for the
main lines.
No city Of like size has greater diver
sity Of manufacturing interests. Some
Of the plants are unsurpassed by any In
the country, and send their products to
all parts Of the civilized world
Bat there Is another side to the pic
ture. Probably no city Of like import
ance and having such great natural
advantages at command has so little
commerce by water, The Delaware river
front should be filed in, docks
should be built and the flags
OF all nations should host over the
vessels dischArging and receiving cargoes
there.
The Christiana and Brandywine rivers
should be dredged to such width and
depth that the largest ship ever launched
could come in, and TO enable the present
great shipbullding firms, or others which
will In future locate here, to compete for
contracts which now 60 to other cities
which have improved their natural ad-
vantages.
Liverpool and Glasgow are examples
OF what harbor improvement will &C.
complish. Those cities spent millions
Of dollars, to get the finest docks in the
world but they have been repaid a hun.
dredfold, and stand In the forefront as
shipping and ship building centres. The
Mersey is a small stream compared with
the Delaware, and, when the people OF
Glasgow awoke to the necessity Of hav-
ing a harbor, the river Clyde had only
an average depth Of channel Of four
feet and was far inferior to the Chris.
tiana. To-day there are no two streams
more widely known than these, and nc
two cities which occupy more command
ing places in the commercial and ship
building world than Liverpool and Glas
gov.
What they have accomplished we can
accomplish. The lowlands between the
city proper and the Delaware river will
In time be filed In and covered with
warehouses and large manufacturing
plants. We will vie with Philadelphis
and Baltimore in exports, imports ant
coastwlse trade and with Glasgow in
shipbuildinE, We only need one thing
ana that is deep water.
II the city depends solely upon Fedora

the future. The Federal Government il

REPUBLICAN CO. OFFICERS.
The First Entire Republican Ticket
Elected Since 1874.

As the neNIv elected county officers
are largely strangers to most Of the
readers of the REPORTER we believe Il
short sketch of each one would be
appreciated and read with some
interest. We took the pains to hastily
prepare such matter. The cuts here
produced are pretty good likenesses of
each. The treasurer was too late in
giving us his photograph therefore we
were unable to get a cut of him. How
ever we will say for those who never
Saw him that he is a good looking man.
Wears Il mustacbe, medium height and
weight and dark complexion.
The people, of both parties, will
watch the coming county administration
with considerable scrutiny and it will
stand the new officers in hand to be
careful, panstaki ng in giving the people
an administration which will be a credit
to themselves and the party who were
instrumental in placing them there.
Let it be an economical one void Of the
characteristics SO prominent in the last
one is the wish Of the RErO3rER.

There is nothing of the shoddv or

qualities which we admire most in men.
We have no doubts of his representing

Lines composed by X. e.
Mcfarland on the death of Miss
)rinda Cleveland and Mrs.
katherine Quinn, which occur
ed on the Valley Division of the
y, NJ. & st. p. II. R., November
24th, 1894.
1t fills my heart with deepest pain
TO tell what happened by the train,
We started out to make the run
On freight train number nincty-Onc.
To BearSs Station soon we drew,
Past the sand-cut we fairly few
The engines power we had to strain
In order our lost time to gain.
The bell ii rang, the whistle blew,
farmers team appeared i'll view,
And close along the railroad side
Two ladies and a man did ride.
And to the grade they now draw near,
Those warning sounds they do not hear;
Reverse the lever Close the brake.
Oh! save their lives for mercy sake.
But Oh. Alas! it is too late,
Nothing can save them from their fate,
Right on the fry monster went
As if on deadly mischief bent.
And from the track the horses threw,
High i'll the air the wagon flew.
The stOUtcst heart must hold It's breath
To see those ladies meet their death.
Soon the trainmcn gathered around,
Miss Cleveland's lilclcss body found
Upon the ground, so young, 50 fair
Her lifc'S blood trickling through her hair.
Oh for gentle mother now
To wipe those dark stains from your brow:
Those many kindly acts to show
That only mothers hearts can Know
No gentle hands to aid them then,
No one around but bearded men:
They carried them aboard the train,
With Mrs. Quinn life did remain
The doctors toilCd faithful and brave
That lingering spark of life to save
But all their efforts were in vain
For death released hcr of her pain
Their kind friends preparatiOns made
And in their graves their bodies laid;
Now let US hope to meet above
In that blcst land where all is love.
And now my friends this warming take,
Your final preparations make;
You know not what may YOU bCEaIl
BE always ready for Gods call.
