THE return of the notorious "Dick'
Croker to New York after his short
European trip was an occasion for what
the politicians call grand ovation"
If Croker were an eminent and virtu-
Gus statesman who had performed IL
lustrious service for his country, he
could not have been an object of greater
interest than he was when he landed
from the steamer. At the Fourth OF
July celebration in Tammany Hall he
was received with tremendous enthus-
iasm, and every effort seems to have
beea made to assure him of the graft
tude and affection in which he is held
bv the members of that organization.
Next day most of the New York papers
were filed with many columns of de-
scriptive and illustrated matter con-
cerning Croker, his appearance, bis
opinions and his purposes. The Eu'
ropean passengers who are not informed
on American affairs must have sup
posed that Croker was one of the ables
and most beloved of our countrymen
1t must have surprised them, after thei
arrival, to learn that the intense inter
est which he inspired was largely du'
to anxiety to learn how he intended tt
prove that he was not apublic theft o
how he might ultimately keep out
the New York penitentiary.

The Fourth.

The Fourth Of July was spent very
quietly by the people in this sequest-
cred town, and If it were not for the
small bow with his fusilade of ex-
plosives, it would have been dull
Fourth. But to the small boy it is an
enjoyable day, and as is often the case,
YOU are well-remiDded that the Fourth
is near long before its advent.
A few of our patriotic citizens deco
rated their residences with bunting and
let the stars and stripes wave; but it
did not seem to be the desire with some
of our citizens to stay at home. COnse-
Ouently they availed themselves of the
opportunity of taking an outing and
those who did not go TO attend the big
celebration at Dover, hied themselves
to the beach or some place were they
thought some fun was in store.
The steamer Ella made an excursion
to Woodland Beach for the benefit oI
those who had no means of transporta'
ton. and we hear was well attended
Outside of this a large number weni
down in hacks or their own convey
ances. Woodland Beach was crowded
The Thomas Clyde was packed tC
nearly its utmost capacity. Besides
this there was steamer from Bridge
ton, N. j., with a large number of ex
cursionists.
The order at the Beach was excel
eut there being nothing that happened
to mar the pleasure of the day. Th
amusements were going all day an
had the appearance of reaping a goo
harvest.
At night, Smyrna began to show u
a little better, when display of tire
works was let off in the air. The dt
monstration happened at stated place
throughout the town, but was veT
simple and pretty. In naming a fe
places which attracted the most attel
ton we would not pass by j. Ed. HO

MAYOR SHoRTLIDGE, of Wilmington,
sent a long and in some respects, an
unusual message to the city council
last week. The chief plant of the
document is that the city is controlled
by Kent and Sussex, through acts of
the Legislature, and the city thus
denied the benefits of local self-govern-
meut. The following is az extrast:
The Police Commission, the latest
outrage perpetrated by the Legislature
of the State upon this helpless COM
munity. cost the taxpayers $75, 600 this
wear and they have exceeded this aps
1ropriation by nearly $4,000. Com
pared with Reading, Pas city OF about
the same population as Wilmington
we pay annually $40, 600 more for the
maintenance of peace than ID found
necessary By our sister city, This com
mission was created for purely partisan
reasons, and the next Legislature ought
to wipe it out. Under a judicia! ad
ministration of the mayors otice thii
department could be conducted at
cost not exceeding $4,000. In the in
terest of public business the police fore
should be employed annually to maxi
a full census Of the city and it woul'
be exceedingly instructive if we coul'
now have an accurate census of tn
employed and unemployed persons G
the city.
The brightest page .u the curren
history of Wilmington relates to on
public schools. These have been lei

of any other city in the Union. Th

Our Town Council-What They Are

By request from the Street Com
mittee a special meeting was called
last Friday night to discuss the subject
of drainage.
Meeting was called to order by Presi-
dent, with all present except JnO. Cos
griff and w. M. Lewis.
After ]. c. Robinson, chairman of
the Street Committee, stated the OBJ
iect of the meeting, the following
motion was made: That the Superin-
tendemt have the public fountain and
othe fountains running into the street,
turned off by July 10th, yesterday
and that parties having their waste or
rain water running over pavements, to
prevent same by ground drainage to
the cutters. The motion was con-
tinued by authorizing the Secretary to
notify two other parties, having waste
and refuse water running FROM theil
establishments into cutters to discon
tinue same.

THE underlying question in the great |
strikes is that of wages, and the lead
ing American idea is that labor should
be amply remunerated-considerably
above the wages of the old countries.
The employer and the employe are
brought face to face at this point, viz
how can high wages be paid IT there IS
not enough money earned to do itT
Labor was doing well and business was
generally good and remunerative, but
a restlessness pervaded the working
classes, and they voted for a change
under the promise of better times.
There has been a change, but it is not
what vas desired it was a revolution
backward as far as immediate results
are concerned, and not forward. The
atagnation in business that has resulted
has been as severe on capital as labor
if not more so, and many establish
ments have been swept out OF exist
euce or closed up. Yet labor organi'
zations, particularly the large body oi
foreigners, demand wages the same al
Mthe wheels of commerce were in act
i've molten and business brisk. In othei
words, they want the penny and th'
cake both. For the employers to pa,
large wages when there is little demand
for their product and that at greatly
reduced prices, is to deliberately wall
into bankruptcy. It is a tnnble IA
which neither can help extricate th'
other. The fact is apparent as the re
suit of the troubles Of the past year

The Shirt Factory.

Under a contract to run his factory
for nine months in the year and to en-
ploV a certain number of hands, Theo-
dore Yocum, OF Norristown, Pa, was
granted certain privileges by the Board
of Trade of this town. He has failed
through want of work to carry out his
part of the contract and the Board OF
Trade has been notified by the owners |
of the building in which the Plant is
located that unless the rent is paid in
advance it will he collected by the
regular process of law.
There is no money in the Treasurer's
hands for this purpose and many OF the
members refuse to pay any more. Inc
year has been an unfortunate one Ior
labor and Mr.. Yocum has undoubtedly
been unfortunate in starting his new
new industry at this time. Messrs.
Young, Smythe, Field & Co., state that
| thew are only running one factory, that
| Mr.. Yocum's work was very satisfactory
and that as soon as they had any extra
work he would be given the preference.
| One hundred and twenty dollars Is
required to pay the rent for another
wear. The factory is thoroughly equip
ned and it is a question whether or not
the town will raise $120 and pay the
rent for one year or will allow the
machinery to be taken out and sold TO
nav the rent and and other small
amounts now standing against the
plant. Under most any other elrcum-
stances this factory would have been q
source of revenue to the town and
would have employed not less than
ffty persons. 1t is hoped that all the
circu instances connected with the case
will be carefully considered and some
action be taken to retain the factory IL

Wheat.

Wheat threshing commenced last
week, and this week all the threshers
are in active demand. The Opis dis
appointing both as to yield and price.
Wheat wintered well, and the un-
usually good condition throughout the
spring gave the impression generally
that there would be fine yield, and
this would doubtless have been the
result but for the heavy and long storm
the middle of May. The storm came
lust as the wheat was heading out and
in blossom, thus preventing the pollen
from filing its function in fertilizlng
the grain, and thus making imperfect
heads. For this reason the grain re-
eeptacles were in some cases not three
fourths of them filed, in fact some
farmers not having much more than
half what they expected. One farmer
who expected over 1000 bushels, judg-
ing from its appearance in the field,
had only between 900 and 700 bushels,
and we have heard of only two farmers
thus far who have exceeded 20 bushels
per acre.. Lower and T. W. Caven'
der.
Those farmers who sowed the new
variety called the "IrOn Clad" are
mighty well pleased with it in bott

COMPRESSED air is coming forward

tested on the Fourth at Westfeld, Mass.
A writer in speaking of it says:
"Three cars made each fourteen
trips. or ifty-six miles, and carried
during the day 1900 people. The cars
are easily controlled, and in decending
grade there is little or no consumption
Of air. They can run at a rate of speed

better from one point of view as seen
in the remarkable spread of charitable,
benevolent and religious work. That
it is also growing worse from another
point was evidenced, he said, by the
violence and wickedness by which this
century has heen marked, and in par
ticular by the recent occurrences in

The Outing of the Editors.

A hurried note of the meeting of the
Peninsula Editors at Asbury Park, was
given in our last issue. Through the
courtesy of the Pennsylvania Railroad,
the editors of the Peninsula Press As
sociation were favored with their usual
outing at Asbury Park last week, the
larger part reaching there on Saturday
the 3Oth, but a dozen or so not until
the following Monday. They mostly
staid until after the 4th of July, and
the close Of the week found them back
at their desks again.
Ocean Grove and Asbury Park, sepa-
rated as they are by only a narrow
lake of water, had much TO interest the
editors and the ladies who accom-
panied them. "The Twin cities by the
Sea" stand without rival among all
the summer resorts for good association,
healthful pleasure and general attrac-
tiveness. The two places were virtu-
ally captured and at the command of
the editors for the week, there being,
including the National meeting of Edi.
tors, no less than eight Associations So
