Mo fln«k»t«n on the streets and All the
Corner Stand* Hot Three Closed To
day.
According to notice served by Clerk of
the Markets Hickey the produce dealers on
King and Fourth streets closed out their
stock of produce on Saturday night as close
as possible and this morning not one of their
stands could be seen.
They have quietly obeyed tho order given,
although one and all declaring that the en
forcement of the old ordinance after laying
dormant rince 1852, is, to say the least, un
fair and unjust, One representative street
dealer said this morning, when asked if the
hucksters and produce men, as a class, in
tended to take any action in the matter,said
they were not.
They knew they were acting against the
law and felt there was no redress creep by
repealing the old ordinance and making a
new one to cover the situation. For his part,
und he thought he could speak tor the
others, he would ten times rather be Indoors
than standing in the street. He was not at
all anxious to be ex|>osed to all kinds of
weather, but if the offending dealers were
compelled to go to the murket houses they
might as well shut up buisness,being unable
to compete with the farmers who paid
llceuse lor obstructing both the street and
the sidewalk. He favored, and wan sure the
rest did, the city providing market houses
and doing away with the present system.
It would be better for all, aud the city
would also derive mi income.
Anothei man. and one of the very largest
dealers in the locality said he would just
put his goods in Ills cellar m ar by and in
three days he would como out the same as
liefere, as a new ordinance upon the subject
of selling in the streets would be intro
duced before Council next Thursday. When
reminded that such an ordinance could not
be passed for at least two weeks lie said that
made no difference, for as soon as It was
presented the hucksters would be back at
their old places.
Several owners of stands havo secured
stalls In the Third street
mouth's rent in advance. One of those who
have done so says It will cost him at
the rate of $1.85 per week, but very little
over the expense of his present place in the
open air. It now costs, he said, 60 cents a
•ek lor a wutchmau and 80 cents to the
city, while some other dealers paid as high
as 50 cents to the Clerk ol the Market on
Wednesdays ami Saturdays. In the market
house he could lock up Ills goods where
they would lie protected and safe from the
•athcr,while under existiugclreumstances.
notwithstanding the watchman, there was
a certain araou it of anxiety lor their wares
at night.
They are only resting upon their oars, so
to speak, and Council is exi ecte 1 to have a
lively time before the vexed question is sat
isfactorily settled.
The new ordinance to be presented by Mr.
Baugh at the next meeting of Council is
anxiously awaited, and a strong fight is no
doubt to be made to have the present obnox
ious ordinance wiped out of existence.
Some of the business men haviug stores de
clare that they mean to push against the
use of the streets by dealers who pay a very
slight, if any sum, for the privilege, while
at tho expense of renting

THE l'RUIT AND PEANUT VENDERS.
Clerk Hickey also told the owners of the
pcuuut and fruit stands at the corners of
the streets, on .Saturday, that to-day they
would be compelled to stop operation?.
Accordingly this morning the only ones who
opened were those of Sixth and Market and
the southwest cjroer of Fourth and Market,
both of whom have paid the city for a
|K*rmit to allow them to sell to a certain
date. The stand at Ninth and Market

Clerk Hickey called upon Mayor Wales
this morning and asked the latter if he
would back him up In any complaints that
might be brought before Ills Honor. The
Mayor said he would, and Informed Hickey,
when asked, that the action of Council oil
the 15th Inst, annulled all permits granted
to peanut stand keepers. Mr. Hickey left
the room and in a few minutes returned
with David Lemon and had a warrant
issuing for the arrest of Lawrence Cavcnder,
who stands at Sixth and Market streets. A
gentleman who can speak Italian and hail
aided the offender it» purchasing his stand
and transacting other business for him,asked
His Honor how it was that the man was in

had also paid $210 for the stand. The

warned by "Slim Jim" that the offle r was
watching him. Soon Jim came out, and
endeavored to get Officer McCullough to go
up the 8treet with him. Knowing the man
would not cotne out until be had gone the
officer consented. Jim then went into the

McCullough. Meantime Officer Vickers
had come along and McCullough, telling
him to watch for Curtis, went
away for a short time with "Slim

him and started with him to the ball. At

officer.
At police court yeßterday morning Curtis
was held for court in the sum of $200. The
watch was recovered. Curtis Is a Philadel

TBK STATK DEBT.
Its Rapid B«d«iO|>Uwu~ i Is Not Mif
1 aid a Little Too Rapidly t
[Sunday Star. 3
The public announcement of the State
Treasurer that he will, during the first week
of January, redeem Delaware State bonds
to the amount of $90,000, give* rise to the
question whether we are not extinguishing
our State debt at a rate somewhat too rapid
to serve the best interests of the present
generation. Financially, the State of
la ware 1$ exceedingly well ftsatjL Her
debt Is not large, and le offset by the poe
securities that reduce the
session of
actual indebtedness to a very trifling figure,
while her revenues are so ample and so
readily collected as to easily provide for the
prompt meeting of every obligation, thus
placing the credit of the State at a point
not surpassed by that of any other Bute iu
the Union.
Under the existing financial arrangements
the State debt can bo entirely extinguished
lu a very few years, but a great many people
are of the oplnlou that It would be the
better plan to reduce the rate of taxatiou
and postpone the total pavmentof the debt
for a few* years longer. As our tax laws are
now framed tho
upon the manufacturing interests, aud any
legislation that tends to free these interests
from financial embarrassments is just
much help to the good work of developing
our resources atid adding to the material
wealth of the State. For instance, If the
present basis of taxation will meet all cur
rent expeuses and leave a surplus sufficient
to wipe out the State debt in seven or eight
years, would It not be letter to relieve the
people by a reduction of the revenues, and
'-xtend the final settlement of the debt for a
longer period.
We do not hold that "a national debt is a
national blearing" but we can reudily per
ceive how the existence of a small debt, the
Interest upon which does not burden the
people, can be viewed as a beuefit Instead of
h disadvantage. If its continuance lightens
the burden of taxation (as it certainly will)
here is one great point, and another is that
as long as the debt exists the Legiriature
will ./e reluctant to increase its extent for
real or faucied needs. An entire freedom
from debt might lead to extravagances that
would seriously oppress the people, while
the existence of a considerable obligation
would form a sufficient pretext for keeping
strictly iu the path of economy and wise
government.
The question Is worthy of serious consid
eration, and It would be well for the Legis
biture, at the approachiug session, to give it
careful attention, and see whether the State
is not rich enough to reduce Its debt very
-lowly lor a few years and put the mon y
thus saved into the pockets of the people.

AN OFFICER'S GRIEVANCE.
He Writes a Piece for the Papers About
Himself.
The following furnished us by one of
Mayor Wales officers may possibly explain
tself, although of no particular interest to
reader* :
Officer Bowers says that the statement
was made before 'Squire O'Neill that the
order that was given to arrest Ryan must
have been giveu fu a very low tone or that
Hickmau was iu a great measurse the cause
of the excite meut at the poll6 himself, by
refitting to take Mr. Ely's vote, when It was
offered, by shutting down the window
several times; also by refusing to take Mr.
McKay's vote, a man who has paid taxes for
the last 25 years In this city. Officer Bowers
had Hickmau arrested for disorderly con
duct af the election, November 7, which dis
orderly conduct consisted in abusing the
whole police force in general and making
threats. He way truly a great man on that
day—a man of muscle, to hear him talk.
The questiou arises : Why did uot Hick
man have officer Bowers arrested some time
ago. This charge, which he brings, he says
happened the 3d of October. It looks very
spite action. He says there
was a warrant swore out then, but It was
not served for some reason. Now what can
ne the reason. Perhaps he was not himself
