The District of Columbia appropriation

A "BigD Scheme.

For sometime past Il number OF Whining
tonians have been agitating the question OF
removing Delaware College to that CITY from
Newark. None Of the officials of the College
have considered it and it is known that the
people of Newark would oppose its removal,
but the Wilmington citizens have been dis
cussing 1t and they think. SO far AS they have
considered the question, that Wilmington is
the place for the college. To make the in.
stiiuti"h the success which people would like
TO see IL made it must have at least 200
students. To get them the majority must be
drawn from Wilmington and they can never
be secured while the college is at Newark. so
the WilmingtOnians say.
A friend of the institution tells how il
could he brought to Wilmington. At the re-
cent dlnncr OF the Alumni Association of the
college it was announced that at the next
meeting Of tire General Assembly the college
would ask Tor sufficient funds to erect new
dormitory building. When this is done let
Wilmington promise to give another building
II the college is removed to Wilmington. 1t
is believed that plan could be devised by
which the city would appropriate the nee
essary funds. The old buildings ut Newark
could he sold and the proceeds used TO erect
the other buildings necessary.

of all these classes, and make it more diff
cult, for the moderate or small property
owner, whether business man or farmer, to
borrow money on real estate security?
For ten years past, it has been yearly
growing more difficult to borrow money on
real estate security, particularly land for
the simple reason, that the depreciation in
its value, has left an uncertain margin for
the money lender.
Now the promise made, but never full
filled, to the people of Maryland, for years
by the Democratic party of an equitable
reassessment, under which the rich capitalist
should not escape, and the inequality OF
taxation should be cured, was the very
pith OF the promise made by the Republi-
cans last year, when they were entrusted
with political power in Maryland.
The invisible property-the stocks, pri-
waite securities, etc-that was escaping
taxation, while the sisiJic property of the
farmer, the mechanic and the business man
of moderate means was everywhere and
always in the grasp OF the tax-gatherer,
constituted the basis of the argument for
the necessity of re-assessment
Does the imposition of tax on mort
cages, that hits the very class, the Republi-
can party promised to defend-tte moder
ate property owner-in any sense redeem
the promise made by Republicans in the
last campaign?
The WING thinks not.

CHESAPEAKE CITY'S CIVIL LIST

The appointment of VIM. p. Howard as
Clerk of the Circuit Court calls attention
to the business and political influence of
the Second election district in county
affairs, and emphasizes the fact, that Cheso-
peake City presents larger representation
OF her business men in official and public
positions, than any district of the county.
or in fact of all tue districts of the county
put together.
The list we subjoin shows. that while
Chesapeake City is not the most populous
town IN the county, yet she possesses a
larger number of active and influential
business men than Maryland towns of
equal population which are not county
seats generally possess, and that it is doubt
full, whether any other town in the state
can exhibit so large number of her
citizens in public official positions.
WIN. p. HOWARD, Clerk of the Circuit
Court.

JOHN BANKS Clerk to County Com
missioners.

THOMAS J. CLEANER, Collector Chesa-

JOSEPH II. STEELE, Director Cecil Mutual

The list is one complimentary to the
character and influence of her business
men, and we challenge any town in Mary
land OF less than thousand population and
not county seat to show one as large.

THE annual report of the Pennsylvania
Railroad, as usual, gives ample evidence of
the wonderful prosperity of the system
under the present wise and conservative
management. Increased earnings, increased
profits on judiciously chosen Investments
and rentals, and decidedly increased earn
ing capacity in the shape of modern i'm
proved cars and enlarged facilities, are in
themselves the best comments that can be
made on the report.
No competing trunk line in the country,
it is very properly claimed, can show so
favorable report for the year, marked by
general business depression.

Observation-Disclosures Tours via PennSyl
yania Railroad,

yania Railroad.
There is no doubt but that every one has
had at some time a desire to visit Florida the
"Land of Flowers" and that many have been
deferred from so doing by the thought of IL
long and tircsome railroad journey, great en-
pense, and Il thousand and one other obiec-
tons. These have been overcome by the in
auguration of the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company's personally conducted tours to
Jacksonville. A special train of unexceled
equipment makes the run from New York to
jacksonville in thirty hours; tourist agent
and chaperon accompany each tour to look
after the comfort of passengers while en- route;
and the low rates offered bring the tours
within the means of almost every one.
The tours, allowing two weeks stay in
Florida, will leave New York and Philadel-
phia on February rs and March 8, 1896. The
rate. including transportation, meals en- route
and Pullman berth on special train, is $50. 90
from New York and S4S.00 from Philadelphia;
proportionate rates from other points.
