USE OF A NAME.

Judge Sulzberger, of Court No. 2,
Philadelphia, handed down an opinion
dismissing the bill in equity filed by
the Tygert-Allen Fertilizer Company
against the j. E. Tygert Company,
both of that city and well-known in
Delaware, and especially in this town.
The bill was founded on an alleged
breach of contract by the defendant,
and was afterwards amended so as to
charge unfair competition. Both cor
porations manufacture and sell ferti-
lizers. On July 1, 1889, w. N. Allen
and N. Penrose Allen, trading as j. j.
Aliens Sons, and j. E. Tygert and
Herman S. Tygert, doing business
under the name of J. Z. Tygert & Co, F.,
the firms both manufacturing fertillz-
ers and being competitors in trade, en-
tered into an agreement to consolidate
their firms into corporation.
The complainant corporation alleged
that the defendant company had been
guilty of breach of this clause of the
contract by the use of one of the
names.
The case was referred to a master,
who recommended that the Court
make a decree restraining the defend
ant from using the name 81. e. Ty-
CERT" as any part of its corporate title.
and directing the defendant to account
for the sale of goods made through the
use of that name.

A DELIGHTFUL EXCURSION.
Steamer Elizabeth VanSciver Carries a
jolly Crowd to the Oyster
Beds.

While there was not as large a crowd
as was anticipated, yet those who
moved off on the Steamer Elizabeth
Van Solver early on Friday morning,
came back with descriptions of delight
and pleasure at what they had expe-
rienced. The boat left at o'clock in
order to give a full day of it. The
weather conditions while warm and
sultry inland, on the boat it was just
the contrary-a delightful breeze and
the bay rough enough to give nice
effect and motion to the boat. The
Van Solver had in tow five large row
boats for the use of the fisherman of
the party and these were put into splen-
did service when the "Oyster beds"
were reached. 1t was mainly the sport
of fishing and grabbing that carried
the party thither, and it proved to be a
very successful venture. There were
over three hundred and five trout
caught, besides large quantities of
crabs. The latter had to be frequently
resorted to for bait.
A feature of the excursion was
the number of women present,
and it was happy thought to have
them enjoy the occasion also. They
not only enbefeO III anu nhu Jolly
time themselves, but they made the
trip all the more enjoyable for having
been along. The excursionists got
back about 7.30 o'clock that evening.
Among those present were: Mr.. and
Mrs. A. E. Jardine, Miss Margaret
Fell, Mr.. and Mrs. W. f. Dunn, Miss
Margaret Collins, Mr.. and Mrs Joseph
E. Carter, Mr.. and Mrs. E. Harry
Beck, Mr.. and Mrs. H. B. Grieves,

AT WOODLAND BEACH.

There is much life and pleasure at
Woodland Beach and it does not all
depend upon the daily excursions to
make it. Last Monday morning a
party of sojourners at this nice little
resort went out on a fishing expedition
in charge of Captain Archie McLain
on his sloop, 'Lillie Dixie" and was
one of the most successful of the sea-
son. The trout catching was fine and
the ladies of the party found it as
much sport as the men. Miss Fannie
Slaughter, of Wilmington, was the
luckiest, and her catch alone amounted
to fourteen fine specimens. Miss
Mary F. Wolfe, of Philadelphia, sue
ceeded in catching five and Mr.. Ed
ward Cochran, of Middletown, nine;
Mr.. Thomas S. Moore, of Philadel-
phia, also caught fine string. Every
one felt safe in the hands of the genial
Captain, who was ever ready to do
everything he could for the party.
They were only out an hour, but dur
ing this time they indulged in the
sport with much pleasure and merri-
ment.
The season at Woodland Beach this
year is up to the standard, and this
favorite resort under the management
of l.. P. Campbell, is we'll attended to,
The service at the hotel was never bet.
ter. Excursions are coming there
daily, not only by the Clyde, but by
other lines. It is understood that bot1

Mr. EDITOR:-After a careful obser-
vatiOn of the early closing movement,
1 find very many things that are bene-
fetal, bodily as we'll as spiritually, but
the most striking as we'll as the most
blessed result, is that of the effect on
the Bar Rooms.
Before this early closing took place,
one could find the saloon filled on a
Saturday evening until midnight,
some of them having two bars for the
''Niggers, both packed until the very
midnight hour, when the Proprietor
and Clerks? would have to drive them
out with more or less force.
By II o'clock last Saturday night
they had all departed, as we'll as al
most all the white people. The reason
given By one of the saloon keepers is
that the people went to the stores first,
did their dealing and after they had
spent their money in making purchas-
es, they had nothing left.
Let the good movement go on and
prosper, and out of it will come a bet
ter condition of things. Rev. Geo.
w. Dame without any doubt will re-
ceive a blessing.

Now that we have annexed the Ha-
waiian Islands the question arises:
How are we going to rule them? There
is an objection raised that it is inhab-
tied by perhaps 1O7, 900 people unfit to
make part of our body polite and
about 5000 that are, and so to let Ha-
waii make part of our Republic with a
voice in its destiny we would be
obliged to recognize the 5000, ignore
the 1000, and then it would not be
Just to ourselves to let the minority
speak for majority. Says the Aneri-
can:
Let them rule themselves, let all
questions concerning peculiarly the
islands be settled by the Americans in
those islands, let us give to the Ha-
waiian Islands the broadcast of home
rule, let the Americans and their Brit
ish cousins in Hawaii rule in all do
mestic concerns of the islands in such
way as they may deem wise and with
out interference from Washington.
Let Washington only concern itself
with the foreign relations of those
islands and their relations with the
United States, give the Hawaii
Oligarchy no voice at Washington in
questions concerning the people of the
United States or in the foreign rela-
tiOns of the United where Hawaiian
interests are not directly involved. In
short, let the United States shape its
course as if it had assumed a protecto-
rate over the Hawaiin islands and
nothing more and give to the American
Hawaiians no more voice in the affairs
of the Republic than they would have
under a prOtectOrate, and that is alb
sOlutely no voice save in those things
concerning them directly. Such in the
course open to the least objection, thai
would be the safest to pursue.

IL reviewing the miserable efforts of
the Union and Regulars of the RepuSD-
Party to effect harmony, the State
Sentinc' lays the blame on Frederick
Eden BacL. In the course of its edi-
torial remarks it goes on TO say:
The informal discussion of the rep
resentatiOn question reached that con-
ditiOn, that even among the regulars
the desire for victory as a result of
harmony and union was of more i'm
pOrtance than the nOnsensical and un-
important question Of how many dele
gates shall compose the State conven-
tion. To the great mass of Republicans
it is a matter of less concern than the
possibility of repeating the folly of
electing a Democratic Governor. Con-
gressman and Senator. To Bach. how
ever, il appears to be of vital import
ance, for, by this means, it is very
simple matter for Wilmington CITY
with Bach and his questionable meth
DDS to dominate the State Conventions.
WilmingtOn's forty delegates in a
county caucus absorbs rural New Cas-
tie County's thirty-eight, making sew
enty-eight against Kent and Sussex 3
eighty-two with the chance TO pick up
q stray three or four out of Kent or
Sussex, and the neat little trick is
turned. This is the Bachian idea.
With such possibilities and certainties
staring us in the face, and forewarned
by experience, the game will not work
and Wilmington Republicans will dc
a wise thing if they call Mr.. Bach off.
We do not believe that the Republi-
cans Of Wilmington city will permit
this obs~uctionist to prevent q union
OF the forces of the party.
A very serious mistake was made
when Mr.. Bach was called into tht
councils of the party. He holds nC
off1elal relation to the party, having
been pushed out of every one
OF the committees of which he was
member, and for the reason that hi
presence, his methods and his temper
ament has rendered him obnoxious. Ii
arranging the preliminaries for thu
conference which it was hoped and be
lleved would result in union Of tn
opposing factions, it was distinctly
understood that none but the member
OF the two committees should partici
pate, and very. properly so. His pres
ence was therefore an act of unwlsdor
if not of bad faith upon those who in
vited him into the councils of the part
at 50 critical time
We would not for q moment detrae
from any merit Mr.. Bach ma
possess. That he has merit we freel
confess. He has many qualities thi
go to make up what insthis State
called crafty politician. His peqn
iar talents fit him to fight Democra

THE news of the surrender of Santi
ago de Cuba, including the whole east
ern end of Cuba and all the Spanish
forces which had been operating there,
was inspiring to most everybody in
this country. 1t announces a splendid
triumph of American arms. The army
shares with the navy the glory of the
success, and our flag floats victorious
on land as we'll as on sea. 1t is to be
hoped now that this is the beginning
of the end. 1t is a grave disaster to
Spain. When a great blow has been
struck and a great victory won, then is
the time to strike still greater blows
and to aim at still greater victories.
The destruction of Cervera's feet
pointed straight to the destruction of
Camara's. The bombardment of San
tiagO was a clarion call to the bombard-
ment of Cadiz. The terms of Torals
capitulation are a guidebook to Porto
Rico. Only one thing prevented the
destruction of Santiago. That was
surrender. Only one thing can CHECK
the destructive progress of our arms
against Spain herself. That is sur
render. 1t is for Spain to speak tha
word. Until she does our word is

A CALL for State Convention was
made by an adjourned meeting of the
Union Republican State Central Com
mittee il Dover last Wednesday, to
take place August 3Oth, upon the basis
of five delegates to each representa-
tive district in the State. except the
second and third representative dis
tricts of New Castle county, the city of
Wilmington, which forming together
one senatorial district, were accorded
ten delegates each. This is in con-
formity with the rules laid down by
the Union Republican Party. The
Regulars refuse to accept this appOr-
tionment, and the wrangle has broken
ont afresh. Each believe they are right
in the stand they have taken, and each
are contending bitterly. 1t is to be
hoped that harmony can yet be re-
stored between the two factions before
it is too late, and out of it will bt
evolved but one Republican party
marching on to victory.

and unfit him totally for harmonizing
differences in the Republican party.
Mr.. Bach is a fighter, and wherever he
is, in the party as a whole, in a COM
mittee or in a conference, his native
instincts impel him to antagonize and
not to harmonize. 1t seems he cannot
help it; he was born that way. This is
his history. 1t has been realized fully
and he has been sent to the rear. 1t
will be the consummation of wisdom
to to keep him there until the party
gets in line to move on the enemy.
When that is done call him out, if we
must have him at all.

A Pleasant Grabbing Party.

Bent on a full day of pleasure at the
bayside, and anticipating the sport of
fishing and grabbing, a jolly party
moved off to Woodland Beach on Fri
day morning. They had large peach
wagon, with awning, ample enough to
hold all comfortably, and it was in this
that they entered into pleasant social
greeting and made the day an enjoya-
bic one. Incident to their sport in
grabbing was delightful sail. A cool
breeze was blowing up the bay, MAX
ing the surface rough enough to give
an effective motion to the boat. The
temperature was quite noticeable from
that on land, and it is not to be won
dered that they remained out as long
as they could. In the evening another
sail was prosposed and most all went
1t was delightful at first, but when
they turned to come back Opposite
Collins Beach, the wind had died down
and there was not sufficient breeze to
bring them back. 1t then devolved
upon the men to row home. The mo-
squitoes on shore were very thick and
annoying, and they pestered the party
very lively on their return over the
marsh. However it was a day filled
with pleasure, and those who indulged
IN it were: Misses Nettie Tschudy,

Gloom had settled upon our farming

The short crop of wheat is one of the

has despelled gloom, inspired hope and
revived vegetation perhaps beyond
human calculation. There is rejoicing
