An en. largement of the Senate, changes in tho timeofholding elections, and length of off cial terms, and, above all, some check up on special legislation are about all the re form they propose.

Though we believe that competition
at some time between the Pennsylvania
Railroad and the Philadelphia, Whining
ton * Baltimore Road and its allies, for
the through trade between New York
and Washington, is inevitable, yet We
cannot doubt that such conflict will to
some extent injure Wilmington, for Of
course ID will divide the great stream Of
travel which now flows back and forth
through our city. If It docs come, how
ever, it viii come through the building
OF the branch road the Pennsylvania
Company il now surveying, and It should
be the care of those interested IN Will
mington to see that our city obtains as a
compensation Tor the loss il must suller,
any advantage that may be obtainabie
from the change.
a glance at any well made railroad
map will show that the proposed new
road will cross the su,luehanna at a
point near the celebrated slate quarries.

ties; and 10 will also be- seen that the road
now building from oxford, Pa, to Peach
Bottom will cross the new road near The
place where it crosses the Susquehanna
This presents an additional reason why
the Wilmington ~ Wcs,ern Road should
be speedily extended 10 oxford and would
doubtless add something TO the trad,
such an extension would undoubtedly
bring to our city. Without this consider
alton, however, there are numerous anC
good reasons why the Wilmington
Western Road should be pushed on *
Oxford, and we.siucere!y hope, that whei
a proper and vigorous effort is mad,
along tue line that little more help NAY
be given from Wilmington.

Has city Cow,ciI a Right 20 Remit
Ffucsf

We have Indicated our opinion
that City Council, in taking the action II
did in the matter of relunding fine I'M
posed by the Mayor, was striking dan
gerous blow at police authority. We be-
lieve it did more, and clearly transcribed
its own authority. The City Council is the
Legislative body for this city, and any at
tempt on its part to resolve itself into a
Court of Appeals in police cases is not III
accordance with its character or the pnr'
poses Of its creation. The refusal OF the
police officer to testify before the commit
tee was a perfectly lustidable one, and
could not have been SO insulting to the
Council as the Councils action in ap'
pointing such committee was Insulting
to the Mayor.
The Justice of the Mayors decision
docs not necessarily enter into the con-
sideration Of the case. The vital ques'
ton is, has Council the right to remit tn
fines imposed by the Mayor upon sworr
evidenced Has it the right to go behind
the magistrates Judgment and attempt
to take testimony by a committee con
corning the guilt or innocence of a pris
oner arrested for disorderly conduct OF
any other causel If it has, then every
man on whom Il fine of fifty cents is i'm
posed for drunkenness, has a right &c
appeal to Council, and it must keep a
committee constantly sitting as a sort o.
Police Court of Appeals. 1t is Of COURSE
absurd TO suppose such a thing. If q
person feels aggrieved by the Mayors
Judgment in any case arising under thu
municipal ordinances, he has RICH
under the charter, to appeal (within three
days. TO the Superior Court for New
Castle county, and in all other cases il
which the Mayor sits as a magistrate, en-
forcing the State laws, (as was the cas-
IN the suit against Eagan) the prisone
has again under the charter, the right o
appeal to the Superior Court by a writ o
eertiotrari. In no case is he denied tn
right of appeal, and in no case is tn
City Council designated as the body II
which appeal shall be made, and when
assumes the authority it has not even tn
power to administer an oath to a witness
In this particular case, the Council vol
untarilly attempts to revise and reverse tn
Mayors Judgment, though that ludgmer
was founded on sworn evidence, and tn
Council had only before it the report Of
committee based on unsworn statements
the chief witness before it being the a.
cused party himself. Such ac,ion is al
surd in Itself, hut worse than that is
really dangerous blow at pablo pea'
and order, because of its tendency
weaken poliee authority.
