Lewis Duncan has charge OF the
Delaware street wharf. The
schooner, Ralph NJ. Hayward tied
mp at the wharf while unloading
her cargo OF ice for J. H. King. But
it was another case OF drawing the
line between recollection and re-
membrance by the capt ain. He
recollected being obliged to tie up
at the wharf but did not rememb err
to pay the bill. Lewis was deter.
mined and while the Hayward wen t
to Philadelphia bv water, he went
by train aud the result was that
expenses were added to the bill for
wharfage and Lewis came home
elated that the bill was paid.
William Pedrick was in Dover
yesterday. He is an applicant for
the position of shad patrolman.
There ARE several others would like
to receive the appointment. 1t is
remarkable how interested and
earnest some Republicans are when
they want a position. Only last
tall some people had to be beeg
to register. They cursed and
swore they would not Go SO and
later ~ the season others laid down
and allowed Republican district
to go Democratic. 1t is all history
and Governor Hum will weigh we'll
the case before he appoints the
patroman. The man for the po-
sitlon is one who has no friends to
reward and no enemies to punish.
The law should be strictly enforced
and no fishermen should be allowed
to cast his net in the Delaware river

trolman at New Castle should be
man who has no friends on either
side OF the river
