Commissioners, former representa-
tive in the Legislature and one of |
the best known men in Delaware,
does not agree with the advice given
by the late Horace Greeley that
young men should go West. AS the
result of a trip of eight thousand
miles, which began April 8 and
ended last Thursday his deduction !
is: "Young man remain in the |
East. His reasons are that there |
are more natural advantages in this
section of the country than there
are in any other part Of Uncle Sans
domain. To be expressive he said:
cit is not necessary for US to spend
four months every year in building
bitches to carry off heavy rainfalls,
and to occupy the remaining eight
months in using a hose to make
vegetation grow, as residents in the
West are compelled to do. He
includes the middle West also as a
favored section naturally, but says
the Atlantic seaboard is the best of
ala land that kind Providence
has blessed with magnificent vege-
tation, wealth of shrubbery and an
abundance of timber. Mr.. Baynard,
