ANo Their BOLD CRMINAL.-It must be we'll
known that there is gang of thieves in our
city. Saturday night a bold robbery was COM
mitted at the jewelry store of Carter Bros. and
the robber was allowed to escape. Every day
there are more or less smaller cases reported
bold not quite SO successful as others have
been. About ten o'clock yesterday morning,
Mrs. George A. Harmon discovered that there
was stranger in her house on Free street.
Her servant heard the noise at the same time
and started for assistance. Three men from
the "Row" were called in and the house search
ed. On the front stairs a quantity of jewelry
was found which evidently had been hastily
dropped. The men who searched the house
examined a closet where the servant girl
thought she heard noise, but they failed to
find anyone. They then went into the cellar
to search and while absent the closet door
opened and man rushed out and escaped On
the street. The ladies who were in the room
at the time, were so frightened that they could
give no description of him. 1t was fortunate
escape for the jewelry of the family. No one
can be too careful in keeping the doors securely
locked at present.

But the prophets whose predictions are
made upon the noise of the gorgeous

The Commercial varies with the politi-
cal circumstances. Some time previous
to the election it wanted representation
according to population. II then modi-
fed its tone and advocated equal rep
resentation." What that meant We were
left to infer. But now the election is
over and again it says;
Representation according to popula-
tion is the only true theory, and the only
one which will definitely settle the ques-
ton. Why tinker at the subject e
The people of Wilmington have not
petitioned for representation according
to population, nor have they asked for
the division of New Castle county into
two counties We do not believe the
people Of New Castle county demand
their full right, viz Representation ac-
cording to population; nor have they
demanded division of this county. We
believe the people Of Wilmington and
New Castle county would be satisfied
with u fair and moderate increase in
their representation. Certainly the
large population of Wilmington Hun
dred ought not to be without represen-
tation at any time in either House. She
should always be represented in the Sen
ate as well as in the House. If the
State was districted and each member
represented district Wilmington would
no doubt get more than she NOW asks
for. And this would be the best plan !;
but it could not be done without State
Convention. Experience has taught us
long ago that State Conventions were
tedious processes and their work in the
end may come to nought.
A slight increase in representation now
would tide us over the hard tines and
in future years We might be better able
to stand such expensive processes as a
Convention or the division Of the coun-
ty. The latter process, it seems to us,
would not satisfy the people.
# it We're divided we would have foar
counties to be sure. with an addition 10
the Senate of three members, making
that body twelve instead of nine, and
seven members to the House, making
that body twenty eight instead of twenty.

representation, as the following figures
