that practically all of the rulers of Indian native States

troops.
To what extent it may be necessary for Eng

The late Isaac II. Bromley. who for
many years was a leading editorial
writer of the New York Tribune and
was also of national reputation by
reason OF his great gift Of humor and
the utilization of that quality in his
editorials, visited Washington In the
spring of 1884. There was a meeting
of one of the military organizations
whose membership was made up Of
those who took part as soldiers In the
civil war. Gen. Mcclellan was pres

that he had added to his military

1t Of much value in community progress will be
hailed with general satisfaction. For reason or
another Wilmington has not had its business inter-
lined for city progress in their full strength.

Likewise there has been at times lack of cooper

There is OF going into the history of this for

turing and professional interests the city identify
themselves with the organization. addition plans

OF the organization initiative and power
duct the activities that for their own benefit
This should greatly increase interest and effective
in the Chamber. For instance, the retailers
have their meetings whenever desired and
ahead and plan for trade extension and buy-at-
home campaigns.
1t naturally follows that in matters OF policy and
appropriations of money, the approval of the direc-
will be necessary. this would be true in any
organization either Of a public or private nature
It is ambitious movement that the Chamber Of
Commerce started but there no doubt that sim
efforts have been made TO learn from the most
successful organization elsewhere how the most efec
tive results in city building can be brought about and
with proper cooperation success will result
These Investigations have proved that the CONNER
cial organization does its best work whenever It is
truly representative Of all business classes when 1t
has money enough to do its work properly, and when
the business of the town give the same kind of
personal service that makes their private business

activity has been especially quickened since the OPEN
