mington will soon have another big
steel plant located on the Cherry
Island Marsh. 1t will take in some
{ 200 acres and give employ ment to
some 5000 workmen, Mr.. Howard
7. Wallace, President of the Dia.
mond Steel Company, has always
said that Wilmington is one OF the
best located places in the country
for the manufacture Of steel and
that other establishments would
start here in the near future. His
words have been soon verified and
the dream Of the owners of Cherry
Island Marsh more than realized.
The marsh land has at last become
valuable, when few years ago, it
was worth very little and the only
industry was the ''intant' one of
raising bull frogs. With the build
ing of this new steel plant, more
houses for mechanics will be needed
on the East side and some OF the
ground In that vicinity will come
into the market, There is plenty
OF ground in Wilmington proper to
put up ten thousand no Uses. There
fs NOT one single tenantable house
for rent in the city of Wilmington
for less than SIS per month. These
new industries will help Winning
ton to grow wonderfully III the next
five years.
& EX-CoNGREssMAN L. Eli Quigg,
Of New York, like a sensible man,
says he is out of politics. He has
had enough OF politics, and from
now on will devote his time and tai
ents to making money. There's no
money in politics for him. He is
one man in thousand who realizes
this TACT before it is too late and
beggar themselves striving for po-
litical ambition, to find out alter
years in harness that their friends
are ready at any time to sacrifice
them for any new demagogue that
comes up. Show us the men in
Delaware who have achieved riches
in politics and we will name you
dozens who have lost all their
worldly goods and in numerous in
stances their good names dabbling
In politics. Carpet baggers have
been well rewarded in Delaware
with Offices, Democrats as we'll as
Republicans. This is the city
where they have always had an
eye to every office within the gift of
the people, as well asfrom the Gov
ernor.
kINGCarnlval nowreigns supreme
in Wilmington. The week OF all
weeks mas at last arrived and our
merchants have indeed made a
creditable display 10 let our citl-
zens see what can be purchased in
our city without having 10 60 to
Philadelphia. The Midway, with
its Hindo dancing girls and its
numerous other attractions, was
well patronized last evening. The
industrial parade was good one,
but nothing near as large as we
would liked to have seen it. Our
manufa cturers do not take as much
interest in such Things as they do
Mn Philadelphia and other large
cities. Every day this week there
will be street parades which will
be well worth viewing, 1t would
be we'll enough to remind the man
agement that 1t would do no harm
it the electric lights were made to
burn more brightly. Last evening
they were more than dim. Wepre-
dict for the Carnival, a week OF un-
precedented success.
THE Republican party has been
unfortunate in Delaware in the
men it has elected to office. For
the first time in the history of the
State it elected Republican Gov
ernor in 1894. He lived less than
one year. Then by force Of un-
lucky circumstances a Democrat
succeeded the balance OF his unex-
PRED term, Now, to compIcate
matters once more, Congressman
Hoffecker died before serving out
his term. 1t behooyes the Republic
can party and its leaders to put
younger men iorw ard for the Offices

out their terms. Apparently blum
der after blunder has been made,
and who but the leaders are to
blame for the mistakes that have
put the Republican party in Della.
