On Thursday evening last, one Of the very
best performances OF 'Pinaiore which we
have yet seen was given by party Of ladies
and gentlemen Ito crowded house. Tor the
benefit Of the Newsboys' Home. The cast
was exceptionally strong. both vocally and
dramatically. and the opera as interpreted by
them was more than ever enjoyable. We un-
derstand that the performance will be repea.
ted tomorrow evening. at ST. Georges Hall.
Thirteenth and Arch streets, and during the

heartiest commendation and most generous
public recognition, for their rendition Of the
opera il higaly meritOriOus and deserves o

were refused admission. The effect it
is said was startling, and two of the
dusty Knights expressed willingness
to withdraw from the organization, and
Father O'Reilly wrote their resigna-
tions. 1t is thought that the prompt
cooperation Of the priest will have the
effect of causing the disbanding of the
murderous society. Much Of the praise
fop this state of affairs is due to Arch
bishop Wood for the prompt manner in
which he has repeatedly come to the
aid Of the State in trying to make the
Catholic miners good and law abiding

less to build in Wilmington than in New

additional expense Of doing sll the busi.

will be sufficient to pay the interest
on the cost OF the new building and
thereby save that much to the county.
But our respectable gentlemen of the
nenter gender are afraid that 1t might
spoil the morals Of the people and re-
tard improvements. There can be no
doubt that court houses are u curse to

her population 30 great that the build

In this connection We might say that

Citizens Report ON the water
PuM ~,

We fear the City Council has made
great miGtak- in not accepting the pro-
position of the Citizens Water Com.
mittee, and having it incorporated into
the amended charter OF the city. 1t
will be recollected that the committee
recommended setting apart one-third Of
the revenue received from water rents
to meet the expenses incident to city
water pumping machinery, and alse to
enlarge the pumping capacity. When
brought before Council, that body very
promptly acceded to the proposition,
and even made the amount larger by
setting apart $4,000 for the repairs
and engagements referred to, but when
it came to referring the recommends
tion to the Legislative Committee to
have the proposition incorporated into
a law, strange to say, there was ma
iority of Councilmen opposed to It, so
that the recommendation of the Citi-
zen's Committee stands npon the min
utes of Council as merely accepted,
without either ordinance or law to en-
force it. That the proposition of the
committee was good one cannot be
denied. II allowed the revenue of the
water department to support itself
first, and the balance to be turned over
to the incidental expenses OF the city
As the matter now stands the City
Council merely favOrs the proposition
Of the Citizens COMMITTEES, and can US
its pleasure about making the appro
priation recommended. This is all i'm
portant matter, and should by al
means have been embodied in bill
and sent to the Legislature to be enact
~ into law making it obligatory
upon Council to set apart $4,000 an
nually for the repairs and enlargement
of the city water pumps. Not only ha
the City Council declined to have tn
proposition enacted into law, but a

evening last, resolution was adopte
requesting the Legislature not to pas
any law pertaining to the government
of the city Of Wilmington unless recon
meuded by the City Council. This sa
vors very much of the shrewdneSs q
John NJ. Clayton, who, it is said, atte
the last Constitutional Convention wa
held in Delaware, and after having &c
everything arranged so suit his judg
ment, locked up the constitution an
threw away the key, so that 1T coul'
not be changed except by revolution fo

seems to have adopted the same plal
but its lock can be easily broken if an

been unable in this extra session of
the Senate to accommodate themselves
to the change in the political situation
in that body. They cannot realize
that they are in n minority, and they
are rs insolent and overbearing as
when they led the majority of the
Senate. Conkling and Blaine, as rival
leaders and enemies, have We'd with
each other in efforts to excite partisan
applause by violent appeals to sec
tional animosity and prejudice. While
accusing their political opponents of
the worst designs they have been the
fomenters of sedition and violence
from the beginning of the extra ses-
sion when they found themselves no
longer at the head of the majority of
the Senate. They have sought out
every occasion to provoke Il personal
conflict with Southern Senators as
means of ministering to the hatred of
ignorant and stupid partisans. At
last Mr.. Conkling has staggered with.
out provocation or pretcxt into insult
ing fellow Senator, and he has met
with the rebuke which he deserved.
This lesson may have the effect of i'm
