JI1E ELECTION IN WILMINGTON. Delaware is one of the last strongholds of the Democracy. Though Rinall, she is Btire, and though her entire population does not exceed that of a few of the large wards of Philadelphia, she has as much power in the Senate of the United States as the whole Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. By a tor ribly unjust provision of the State Constitu tion her three counties have an equal repre sentation . in the Legislature, despite marked differences in population and wealth, so that the two lower counties, where darkness instead of light and knowledge reigns supreme, and where emancipation is still regarded as an unparalleled outrage of the "abolitionists," continue to control the little Commonwealth, in defiance of the real sentiments of a majority of her voters. As the city of Wilmington numbers among hor citizens many progressive, intelligent, and patriotic men, and as the fear has been engendered that, sooner or later, they would overthrow i,he dynasty of semi-llebel and pro slavery aristocrats who run the Legislature for the benefit of lottery-policy men and a few of the "first families" in particular, and the Rebel reactionists in general, the "eyes of Delaware" have been sternly turnod to wards this turbulent community, and rigorous measures have been adopted to check her growing power. An ingenious system has been devised to make her Democratic, as well as the other portions of the State, in spite of the wishes of a majority of her citizens. To accomplish this end, the city has been jerrymander iuto nine wards, so constituted that it is scarcely possible, in any event, for the Republicans to obtain a ma jority of the Councilmen, and to secure the Mayor, the Legislature has designated by name nine Democrats to conduct the elections in the respective wards, with assistants of their own appointment, and nothing short of a miracle will prevent these officials from gratifying the expectations of their fellow partisans. The election occurs to-morrow, Sept. 7, the Republican candidate for Mayor being Joshua S. Valentine, and the Democra tic candidate J. L. Siuiius; andas every possible precaution has been taken to insure a Demo cratic victory, a fine opportunity will be pre sented to the organs of that party to once more regale their readers with their favorite roos ter; and results which will be due mainly to infamous partisan chicanery will be heralded as proofs of an overwhelming change of pub lie sentiment. HIE VERMONT ELECTION. Vermont holds her State election to-morrow, the Democrats, according to their immemo rial custom, going through the empty farce of voting a straight ticket. The following are the candidates of the two parties for the prin cipal State offices: Republican. 1 norruHr. GOVERNOR. Peter T. Washburn. Homer W. Huaton. MKUTENANT-OOVEKNOtt. George V. Honilee. Morillo Noyea. STATE TKKASl'KKH. John A. Tage. John M. Weeks. It is expected that the vote will be a light one, falling considerably below the votes of the past three years, which were as follows: Rry. Drin. m-ii. Toittl 18CT.... Governor 8i,6i4 11, Mo iio.ist 43,12114 1908.... Governor 4i,6l5 lMiSS sr.lWo 67,904 1SCS.... President 44,167 12,045 32,122 6U.212 The politics of the Green Mountain State are as one-sided as the handle of a jug, and there is not the remotest shadow of a chance that the vote of to-morrow will snow any change in the sentiments of her people. They are sound and true, to the very core. Caleb CushxNO, having himself once been American Minister to China, thinks that the position is one which demands a "compre hensive statesman," or, in other words, i gentleman somewhat on the Gushing style Very naturally, therefore, he regards Mr. J, Ross Browne, the sketch-R riter, as a diplo matic fizzle, and urges the administration to look up a minister of the comprehensive order. In the same Washington despatch in which these facts are set forth, we find it mentioned that Galusha A. Grow, of this State, is being pressed for the position, but whether or no by Mr. Cushing we can decide only by the inference of contiguity. If it be the case that Mr. Cushing is really backing tip the claims of Grow in this matter, we fear that ho does not comprehend the first prm ciples of comprehensive statesmanship, or filae that he does not enjoy the honor of Mr. Grow's acquaintance. "Mb. PERSHrao," says the Aye, "when he Berved in the Legislature, was distinguished for his resolute opposition to all jobs, frauds, and unjust legislation." Then why not send Mr. Pershing back to the Legislature ? Sinco be vent out of the legislative business, it has fallen into great disrepute, and there can be no doubt that he would be able to acoomplish a great deal towards infusing honesty and decency into the proceedings of our law makers, if he were sent back to occupy again his old seat. By all means, then, let Mr. Pershinff co back to Harrisburg. His past record, according to the claim of his friends, Bhows that the State capital is his true sphere. Memphib devotes only $::,8G7 per year to school purposes, while her police system costs $147,702. The veritable carnival of crime which prevails in and around thu model Ten nessee town presents a striking commentary pa these figures. THE VANDEItHILT STATUE. It is a significant sign of the spirit of the age that, while projects for erecting monu ments and statues of great heroes and states men drag heavily, or are abandoned for want of funds, more than half a million of dollars were recently collected to defray the expenses of the artistic" monstrosity which has boon erected on the top of the Hudson River Rail road depot in honor of Commodore Vandor bilt, the great steamship and railway specu lator. It required years of continuous effort to beg from the school children of Philadel phia the cost of the statue of Washington which now stands in front of Independence Hall, and the only hope of completing the proposed monument in Washington Square is based on the gradual accumulation of funds from compound interest on a small capital. We believe that by hard effort means were finally raised in this city to purchase a statue of Lincoln, and the dny is porhnps not very far distant when it will be erected; but, like all other American works of art, it is a very modest and cheap affair when compared with the tribute to Vanderbilt. Some time ago this project was conceived in the gigantic brain of a modern sculpist, and after he made his drawings, and submitted them to a committee of New York gentlemen, we are told that "the funds were quickly subscribed." The work was begun at once, under strict injunctions of secrecy, and it has been completed in a single year. A good idea of its magnitude is given by the statement of the Tribune that "it covers an area of JUL'.t square feet, measures 150 feet in a straight line, and !51 feet in extreme height; weighs neurly 100,000 pounds, and cost over half a million of dollars." The centre consists of an immense bronze statue of the Commodore, who is surrounded with nearly everything else under the sun, includ ing steamers, locomotives, Neptune, sea monsters, birds, fruits, lighthouses, cotton bales, fences, cows, etc. Nor is this all. "At the extreme left Liberty sits erect," and though we doubt whether this was not a serious blunder, we are consoled by the state ment while "two harvesters" are "in the at titude of working," the artist has not forgot ten to give the finishing touch to his work by introducing "a raccoon peering around the corner." lie is said to be looking at a sea wionster, but this must be a mistake, either of the reporter or the designer, for we are satis fied that his true duty is to keep a sharp eye on the Commodore himself, who is a representative man of the railroad mono polists of the country. Some of these fine days he will prompt the people to inquire how and why these magnates are permitted to amass wealth so rapidly and to acquire such wondrous power not only over the industry, but the politics and legislation of the land. He will force men to ask whether we are really passing through a quiet but none the less effective revolution, which transfers the control of public affairs from the hands of the people to cosy railroad offices, and makes representatives and Governors the mere pup pets of railroad Presidents, ears ago the nation was profoundly agitated by the allega tion that the United States Bank exercised undue influence in public affairs, but it was an innocent and impotent lamb compared with the powerful railroad lions which now exercise despotic sway in many portions oi the Union. It is unnecessary to particularize Every intelligent observer of the current of events will readily perceive that the main miestiou is as to ine extent to which State Governments are subser vient to railroad influences, and the name ot the company or companies wnicn, for the time being, are in the ascendancy, Railroads are a great necessity of the age, and it is just and desirable, in view of the nseful mission they perform and the heavy respon sibilities they assume, that their officers should not be bound by frivolous and nnne cessary restrictions; but admitting all this, should not limits of some kind be set to their power, and should not the existing and future interests of the American people be more effec tually guarded than at present ? In no other government in the world are railway kings as powerful as in the United States, and nowhere else can thev amass wealth and influence with the rapidity displayed here. Their in telligence, energy, and enterprise deserve rich rewards and all due respect, but even great railroads will be bought at too dear a price if they are purchased by the liberties of the nation, and if the lions share of the profits of the national industry is to swell the plethoric pockets of railway kings. ThkTkadb op Switzerland. The burghers of the Swiss cantons deserve notoriety for the exact ness with which they record the commercial statis tics of their mountain republic, and for the scrupu lous fidelity with which they tally off upon each lndlviduul poll in their boundaries the amount for which he, as a luckless unit, is responsible aa a con sumer or a producer. The principal articles of con sumption imported during 1808 amount to 121,994,8!M) francs, being 48f. 69-3 centners per head, exported 4,468,630, equal to 9f. 74-6 centners, making an excess of ex pores of 91,526,200 francs, or 88f. 84-7 centners each. The main article shipped by them abroad 1b cheese, to tne amount of 17,024,830 francs, or ef.78-1 centnera each. The receipts of grain make nearly one-half of the value of Imports, being S3f. 46 centners each. Coffee and sugar are favorites, amounting to 6f. 87-6 centners, and 4f. 02-8 centners each respectively. Spirituous liquors are almost as much In demand, almost none of which is manufac tured on their own soil, unless their retailers have taken a hint from the universal habit among their brethren in this country. The stomachic capacity of each inhabitant for wine the figures say is 6f. 92-u centners, for brandy and spirits 2f. 16-8 ceutuers, and for beer 17-6 centners.
