CONTEMPORARY OPINION.
THE SHOTGUN QUARANTINE.

The yellow fever scare in the South
has led to The adoption in THAT secBlOn.
OF certain t2cticswhiCh might we'll have
been emitted. The mcst cbjecIona-
BILE of these tactics Is to be seen in
what is called the Shotgun quaran
tine" by which certain communities,
in their fear and panic over the pcssl
bilfty of cOntagion, have surrounded
themselves with a ccldon of armed
men. Under this shotgun quarantine
so-calle1, any stranger who attempts
10 enter the community is first warned
not to approach the dead line; and
IN he persists in his attempt he is sub
jsctd to the fire of the guards.
The stranger practically has the
choice OF keeping outside the limits
Of the quarantine or of offering his
life as a sacrifice. 1t seems strange
chat such brutal methods should pre-
vail in the last part of the nineteenth
century I'm The United States. Indeed
the method is not only brutal but un-
wise. 1t is net at all certain that the
shotgun quarantine will save a COM
munity from the yellow fever Not in
the reckless methods Of force but in
the common principles Of hygiene and
sanitation are TO be found The bes
methods OF quarantine against yellow

quarantine is as unnecessary as II !.

A BIG ENTERPRISE.

TALK OF WHOLESALE BUILDING
OPERATIONS ON THE PRICE
PROPERTY, IN THE NINTH
WARD.
The Street and Sewer directors went
out to the Price place, in the Ninth
ward, this morning, in company with
a representative of Wood Haman & Co.,
of Boston, and Levi c. Bird, their attor-
ney. TO see about some grading.
The property, which is on the Phila-
delphia turnpike, has lain idle for many
years, and the Bostonians propose to
put up 200 or 300 houses on it if the
city will do its part of the work
The object of the directors in making
the visit to-day is to get an idea of the
probable cost of the grading.
After the directors returned they de-
clared that they had come to no con-
clusion about the matter. The Boston
people are willing to give bond thai

houses within four years if the city will

BUSINESS AND NOT PoMTIcs.

The Milford Chronicle grows worse
and worse in its editorial opinions. 1t
is now contending that the fight be-
tween the regular and Union Repub-
licans is driving the down-state
trade away from Wilmington. and that
Philadelphia and Baltimore are enjoy
ing its benefits. Such senseless rot is
scarcely worth answering. If an Ad-
dicks man wishes to purchase some
thing which is for sale in this city, he
will not go elsewhere to get it merely
because this happens to be the home of
Hon. Anthony Higgins, Colonel Henry
DUPONT, Henry G.. Morse, Frederick E.
Bach and Hugh G. Browne. Not at all.
In business affairs an Addicks man is
like every other man. He makes his
purchases where he thinks he can make
them to the best advantage. II the
trade of Kent and Sussex counties is
going to Philadelphia and Baltimore il
is because the purchasers from that
part of Delaware are ignorant OF the
many inducements held out by our mer-
chants to bring trade here. II is merely
a matter of business education and in
no sense a political matter. We thank
the Chronicle for the bare statement
that Philadelphia and Baltimore are
getting trade which properly belongs
to us, but further than that we cannot
go. Now that the hint has been
dropped, we trust that our merchants
will profit by 1t and take immediate
steps to divert the trade into its nat.
ural channel.

princes Of New York, as monuments to
his little daughter Florence, who died
when she was a small girl Their pur-
pose is to save girls from ruin and to
redeem those who have fallen. Such
missions have been wonderfully sue
cessful in New York and other cities,

Bleeker street, in the city Of New York,

from that point the great work has

The Milford Chronicle declares that
things have gone on in this way until
many of us have come TO doubt whether
Wilmington is really any advantage to
the state"
Our contemporary appears to forget
that two-thirds of the state revenue is
contributed by this city, and that the
school fund paid into the state treasury
by Wilmington is educating the chill
dren of Kent and Sussex. Our people
would be better off financially without
the state, which they are practically
supporting anyway. The arguments
advanced by the editor of the Chronicle
merely go to show that the money
which Wilmington contributed for his
education was shamefully wasted.
