Samoa, where Pago-Pago is already a
naval rendezvous; nor should we for
get that if none of these acquisitions
had been made our influence in the
Pacific would still be very great. Our
merchants, missionaries, travellers, men
of letters, artists, scientists are bound
TO traverse Oceanica- American influ-
ence is sure to be felt in Australasia
and eastern Asia. We once made a
call upon Japan and behold the result.
CANNOT AVOID THE ISSUE.
From this influence there is no es-
cape. The question is how best to use
the advantages of our position for the
good of mankind. The Chinese policy
is to remain shut up within a WALL re-
pei all assaults and refrain from inter-
ference with the affairs of other people.
Shall the Americans, among the OPP
portunities that have been placed in
their hands, maintain a similar seclu-
sion and be contented with coaling sta
tions; or shall they establish them
selves as a civilizing force in the. Pa
cific? The free and enlarged exchange
of the products of one cline, or one
state, for those of another, is among
the highest achievements of civiliza-
ton. Commerce has been the making
of England as truly as it was the max
ing of Phoenicia. International trade
is the business of the United States, by
which our welfare and the welfare of
all people with whom we have to deal
are promoted. Let commerce be
stopped and all the mechanism of mod
ern society is brought to silence His
tory warns us that in our new career
we may anticipate perpleXities, embar-
easements, blhnders, a neglect of the
principles of efficient civil service, the
rivalries of churches. the wasteful and
perhaps the fraudulent expenditure of
vast sums of money, and attempts to
enSraft the system of spoils on the
unsOphisticated and unwary

ford Chronicle, a newspaper controll-
ed by Addicks and run in his interest,
prints the following editorial, which
was doubtless inspired by the gas man
himself, and lets the cat out OF the
bag:
Our own opinion, ie that the Senate
Of the United States should reject the
nomination Of every one Of DuPent's
appointments made during the recess
as they voted to defeat the successful
Union Republican candidates for the
General Assembly. Then what mercy
should be shown DUPONT when he has
fatty refused 10 recognize unions" as
Republicans? BY voting for him, it
would still retain in control the small
coterie Of men gathered to and around
him that they might dispense the
leaves and fishes.
II is the duty of all Union Republi-
cans to loyalty support Mr.. Addicks
and to have no second choice Any
man who has a second choice is not,
and cannot be, loyal to his first choice.
The election Of Mr.. Addicks will place
the people in control Of their own
that which rightfully belongs to them.
How do the enemies Of Addicks like
the prospect?

A TRTBUTE TO MORIRTsON.

Everyone in Wilmington appreciates
the STIRLING worth of Alvin r. Nor
rison, president Of the Delaware Con-
struction Company, and also the great
benefit which Wilmington has derived
from him and the corporation OF his
creation. We feel sure that the public
will regard with favor the following
tribute which appears in the current
number Of the Now York Mercantile
and Financial Times:
A clty's advancement is due, in many
instances, to the efforts Of its repre-
sentative men. When Wilmington's
harbor Improvements have been com
plejed, at least one man will feel con-
tent with having spent many hours in
pleading for an appropriation from
Congress for the deepening of the chan
mel in the Chrstiana river No one
has been as indefatlgable in this work
as Alvin r. Morrison. His name has
headed the list in all important meas
ures pertaining to the city's interest for
years, Mr.. Morrison having been not
only a member Of the Board OF Trade
since 1890, but an officer as well. The
company, Of which he is the president
and general Manageable Delaware
Construction Company-hae done more
toward retaining ground than any
owner Of marsh along the river. Nor
rson's Point, which was a bog is now
a valuable piece of ground, and ii is
here that the company have their
wharves. The office is located in the
Equitable building.
The company was incorporated dur
ing 1891 with an authorized capital OF
$4,000 Their reputation for good and
and quick work is national one. A
great many important works and
bridges have been constructed by them
Notably one is the Washington street
bridge, which is the finest highway
bridge in this section OF the country
Other important bridges constructed by
them were the Newark avenue bridge
over the Hackensack river for Hudson
county. New Jersey. and two bridges
over the Passaic river in Newark. ~
j., beside more than a hundred others
Of lesser magnitude. The company
have done nearly a million dollars
worth OF work for the government
which has brought forth the praise Of
the officials in charge Of the same
This company was one Of the success
ful bidders for a portion OF the work
in the deepening of the Christiana
river. They are also engaged in put
ting up the superstructure of the Will
mington and Brandywine Springs rail-
way brdge over Red Clay creek. In
fact, the company is very busy on large
and small contracts, but they are
equipped for any kind Of construction
work. Nearly 100000 is invested in
pile driving machines alone, two OF
which are capable Of driving piling 30
feet long with rams weighing over g.
600 pounds each. OF the company's
large feet Of pile drivers and mud ma
chimes, nine are utilized for water
work and three for land work. There
is no better equipped concern in the
country for their claes OF work, and
yet they are constantly adding to their
already perfect plant.
MIR. Morrison is constantly on the
move and is a universal favOrite among
his business associates. II was largely
through his EFFORTS that the gunboa,

OUR VOLUME or R1ls1NEss

Bradstreet's has this to say about the
nations volume Of business during the
past week:
Winter storms and a holiday have in
terfered with wholesale demand and
distribution, but later clear, cold
weather is a compromising feature, in
ducing heavier retail business in sea-
scnable goods. In general business cir
Giles most developments have been ia
vorabie, notable among which might
be mentioned general advances in
prices Of cereals, provisions, grocer les,
cotton, steel and pig iron, the latter
chiefly at Eastern and Southern points;
continued heavy general export trade
a better tone in the market for hides
and leather. more firmness in cotton
goods and active speculation, all oil
which are reflected in very heavy
bank clearings totals Unfavorabll
features are few, prominent among
which is the continued dulinees a
wholesale of wool and wooden goods
The situation as to the country's ex
port trade is fiattering one except TO
the scarcity OF freight tonnage. whicl
is really becoming serious, tending Il
check shipments of goods contracts

development OF American trade wit
abroad. Wheat, including flour, ship

Thoughts.

With Christmas but four
weeks off, much thought is
necessary in selecting suitable
remembrances for family and
friends. Our stock of useful
things for this greatest of all
festal days will aid you in this
pleasant duty. In placing
holiday goods before the COM
munity this season we have
had before us the idea that
goods of practical use are quite
as much appreciated by the
recipient as equally expensive
and useless remembrances so
frequently shown in large
quantities.
Selections can now be made
in all departments and pur-
chases laid away to be deliv-
cred at your convenience. We
are giving particular attention
this season to the manner of
sending out all Holiday goods
- nicely boxed and wrapped
of no little consequence to
the purchaser.
