FISHING PARTY.

A pleasant fishing party composed
of 7. N. Powell and wife, J. M. Tyson,
l. c. Edgerton, Ned Thayer, Miss
Downing and Miss Gordon went to
johnson pond in Cumberland coun-
ty last Tuesday, and as consequence
twenty of the largest members Of the
fnny tribe have sacrificed their right
to swim any more or look for the
the most tempting bait. They all had
such a pleasant time that neither
member of the party has furnished us
any weights, sizes or lengths, or other
detailed information.

PLIDD.-LEGIT1MAT PUBLlCA-
TONS DEFINED.
The Hon. Henry B. Castle Au-
ditor for the Post Office Depart
ment, having been asked to ex-
plain the new postal law to the
National Editorial Association at
Hot Springs, Ark, Apl. Is. m"de
an address from which we extract
the following.
It has been matter of COM
plant by postofice officials for a
long time that the mails have been
overloaded with publications
which get the advantage of rates
or periodicals without being en-
titled to them. If any class OF
mail matter is to be handled at
loss, it would be better for tn t
loss to be occasioned by cheap
rates on letters and new spapers.
1t is bad policy to compel news
papers and letters not only to pay
their own way, but to bear a por-
ton of the cost of transporting
matter which is carried for the
benefit OF the few rather than for
the many.
The eX postmaster general, him
self an experienced journalist OF
more than national reputation, has
correctly diagnosed the mdlady
and helped to prescribe an effect
i've remedy. He admits that il The
mail thus carried at heavy loss
were limited to just what the law
intended there would be nothing
more to be said. In that case 1t
would be deliberate and rational
public expenditure for a we'll de-
fined, justiliable and worthy pub
lie object, and taking the service
as whole, there would be no loss.
But the privilege has been abused
until uncomfortable impositions re-
suited, and a cure must be vigor
ously applied.
There IS a single advertising pc
riodical of which the copies sent
through the mails during one qua:
ter averaged 223,6SS pounds for
each issue, or nearly eight car,
loads, reckoning the weight Of
carload of paper as 10000 pounds.
For transporting each issue of that
periodical the government actually
paid $11,1S4,40, against which it
collected $2,236,6S in postage. 1t
also paid $4,473 for handling,
making direct net loss Of $l3,-
42l for every issue. AS compared
with this cash gift Of the govern
ment the publishers paid for every
thing else 1881 as against net
cost 10 the government of $13..

every issue to the expense of run
ming that publication. than the
publishers themselves contributed.
LEGITIMATE PUBLICATIONS DEFINED.
It scenes to have been as
sumed by previous admins
trations that the publications
which had improperly and
unguardedly been granted
this privilege, contrary to the
manifest intent of the law,
could only be Invested OF
their established privilege by
solemn legislative enactment.
The effort to secure such
legislation having failed, the
department again reviewed
the whole subject and came
to the conclusion that many
of the more fragrant viola
tons could be corrected pure
ly by executive action. A
review OF existing provisions
narrowed the boundaries Of
intended conce ssion. The first
requisite is that a publication
must be devoted TO the dis
semination of information of
a public character or some
special industry.
This test presents questions
of theoretical intention diff
cult to apply in all cases, But
there are other tests which
present matters of fact. The
possession of the character
thus defined is not enough.
The law further requires that
the publication must have a
'legitimate list of subrcrib-
ers." There must be not only
a public object, but a public
call and approval, attested by
general subscriptions. But
even this is not all. A publ
cation having all of these
characteristics might also
have others which would
plainly conflict with the in
tended prerequisite of having
a distinct public purpose rat
flied by a public demand. So
the law adds the provision
that nothing in it's terms
shall be so construed as to
admit to the second class rate
regular publications designed
primarily for advertising pur-
poses or for free circulation
or for circulation at nominal
rates."

Soliiers Sal Story

Without sufficient funds to pay
the expenses of trip from Wash

Wyo., to reach the bedside of his
dying mother, Robert E. Whilden,
"a years old, and member of the
Third Battalion, United States En-

ton was arrested at Union station,
Baltimore, yesterday morning by
Special Officer Jesse Talbot, of the
Pennsylvania railroad, charged
with riding on the cars unauthor-
lied.
When given o hearing by Justice
Fechtig, Whilden told an affecting
story of love for his mother and
his endeavor to reach her before
she died.
He said that as soon as he heard
of her illness he applied for fur.
lough from his corps, but could not
get extended beyond 10 days. He
thought with good luck he might be
able to make the trip. He had sutfi-
cient money to tip a brakeman oc-
cationally and to get him food while
en- route, but all of his plans were
upset by his arrest here. With Will
den was ayoung man named Charles
Clifford, bound for this city from
Washington. Both were committed
in default of $40 and costs.
The young soldier wore:a full uni
form of khaki and shows his 10 day
furlough. Lieutenant Fullem prom
ised that he would notify the re-
cruiting station here that the officer
in charge might communicate with
the command at Washington and
thus reduce the chances of his being
placed on the deserters' list, should
he fail to report in Washington at
the expiration of his furlough. He
wept copiously when he was COM
mitted and saw the last chance of

Geneva V. Wo!cott writing in the
Sunday Star about the removal Of the
King street market does not know
what she is writing about. The 10
eating of the market on King street
has not retarded the progress of that
street or the city. The market has
brought hundreds of people on that
street that otherwise would not pos
sibly have occasion to visit King street
once month. The market was loca.
ted on Market street for years but
that was when business was slow on
the principal street in Our city. The
putting down OF two car tracks was
the reason of its removal to King
street.
The people Of Wilmington do not
consider the street market relics of
barbarism, but places where our citi-
zens can purchase their country pro-
duce from first hands and at reason
able prices. Delawareans may have
some antiquated ways but they have
nothing that they are ashamed of to
show strangers even to the whipping
post. If those who settle within our
gates do not like what they find in
our city and state they have the priv
ilege of moving away again. AS to
their criticisms they are like the flies
not worth minding.
