THERE MAY be good reason for
President Sharpley emitting Council
man +. G. Noore's name from the COM
mittee to make whatever arrangements
are necessary to render ettectual and
appropriate Wilmington $ tribute to the
Chief Magistrate, but if there is, the
people do not see it yet. The two
Messrs. Taylor and Mr.. Moore were the
committee that drafted the very appro-
pirate resolutions expressive of the
sense Of the people on the death Of the
President, but when the next commit.
tee to make further arraI gements il
necessary was appointed, the two Messrs
Taylor were continued and Mr.. Moore
was bounced. There is no objection
whatever to any Of the gentlemen nam.

Mr.. Moore the only one of the original

President Sharpley has reason for

TlO Lesson Learned.

Had President Garfield died on thatfa-
tai day that the assassia's bullet struck
him, the country would never have
known that he was the brave soul that
fingered on and fought the arch enemy
dcsth on that single and only chance
for life that he accepted. The people
knew that he was noble, brave, virtu-
ous and true, but the ful lest extent of
those attributes were only lull ly brought
oIt by his long fight with death. For
