From the Doylestown lnteuigencor.
There is talk Ia Washington Of i'm
peachment proceedings being instituted
against President Cleveland, for violation
Of the Constitution. Ia regard to appoint
meuts to office as well as Ia his policy OF
infamy towards Hawaii The opinion Is
strong, among well informed people, that
the President has laid himself open to
Impeachment charges, by his willful and
erratic course Ia making appointments
contrary to tho expressed advice and
consent Of the Senate not Ia usurping
tho powers Of Congress IN relation TO
Hawai- Instances OF both kinds OF
action are well known 70 al constant
newspaper readers. An Impeachment
trial would not DO very crediiabls to the
nation, TO the Democracy or to the
President, but It might be al extremely
benedeial aud useful procedure and d
source Of future strength to our iustitu .

A river front For wilmington.

That this city has no frontage on the
Delaware river will occasion some sur.
prise to anyone who will 20 to the top Of
some tall building on Market street and
with the eye follow out continuation
of Fourth street, over Cherry Island to
the Delaware.
There will bs seen three or four blocks
OF the bed OF Fourth street on which the
city some years ago spent thousands Of
dollars in filing In and then left. II
this land should be put in good condition
there is no doubt but that in few years
the Wilmington river front would be
lined with wharves and that this city
would become an important point Of
distribution.
While on general principles we are
opposed to the use Of the public money
for the benefit Of private property. the
matter of the Cherry Island Marsh
presents some features which are worthy
Of consideration. Beyond the Brandy
wine and Christiana is half a million Of
improved property which would be isop-
ardzsd should the banks at the river
edge be not kept up which property Is a
source Of revenue to the city and county
Besides this the Cherry Island Marsh
Company has expended about SIS. 600 in
putting up river banks and pays county
taxes of nearly 81 600 per year, OF
course this is not done for the benefit Of
the public, but in the expectation Of
realizing on the property, but little
encouragement and proper assistance
from the city and county could not fail
to bear good fruit in the way Of increased
values aud receipts Of taxes.
Philadelphia has just appropriated
$50 600 20 be used on the marshes below
that city, and the State Of Pennsylvania
has appropriated half million to put the
Delaware river channel ia such condition
that steamers Of large capacity may be
able to discharge and take on their car
goes at Philadelphia
Anything reasonable that can be done
to secure a river front for Wilmington,
and thereby get a portion Of the ocean
carrying trade, should be done There
does not seem to be any reason why this
city should not take high rank as Q
shipping port with the river st our doors
