THE political atmosphere is full o.
rumors of police commissions, sewer
commissions and water commissions
which are expected to be pushed
through practically solid Democratic
Legislature and inflicted upon the peo
pie of Wilmington against their solemn
protest. What becomes Of the Demo
cratic cry of local self government
which has always been held up as q
beacon light of Democratic principles
If police commissions are desirable why
did not the Democrats try one when
for ten years they had Democratic
Mayor and Democratic police? A move
ment now to dispossess the Republi
cans of the same privileges which
Democrats reserved for themselves ID
objected to by many fair minded Demo-
Gratis. But with the Democrats of Della
ware might makes right, and we sup.
pose Republicans will have to submit
until their day comes around. A sewer
and wpte commission, what bonanza
that will be to hungry Democrats who
are watching for the crumbs that fall
from the Democratic table. Seven hun
dred and fifty thousand dollars, for q
sewerage system, and two hundred and
nifty thousand more for an extension Of
the water works-a million of dollars,
rich pickinGs for a hungry crowd. Citi.
zens of Wilmington lookout for jobs

A SEWER is needed in one place IL
the city, and that place is from Ban
croft's and Riddles Mills down thu
Brandywin to the mouth. 1t is needed
not to carry and dump offal and filthy
excrements into the Brandywine but II
keep them from flowing into tina
stream. A large poItion of the surfac
drainage of that section of the city
sloping to the Brandywine is carried
into the race that supplies our city
with the water we drink, A sewer
along the west side Of the race and ex
tending north of it to Bsncroft's would
catch all this surface drainage before il
reached the stream and race from
which we got our water. A sewer there
would answer a good purpose-betteI

government could well afford to take q

monitors that were commenced few
years ago. A feet of sea going vessels

AT the annual village meeting Monday
evening George w. Wing was elected
moderator, James I. Sabin clerk, James
g. Houghton treasurer, T. G. Phinnev and
L. Bart Cross auditors. Gen. 2. p. Pit
kin was elected fire warden and chief
engineer and Joel Foster, Jr., John L.
futile, L. Bart Cross and George A. Peck
fire wardens. The orders drawn for the
year were S44l6.41 of which $40 was for
new hose and about S575 for the cost of
new seats in Capital Hall.
The report of the baliffs was discussed
at length and G. II. Heath made criticism
of the price paid for gas and lighting the
street lamps, thinking less should be paid
for gas now that two foot burners have
largely superseded three foot burners and
that one dollar night was too much to
pay for lighting and putting out the lamps.
Mr.. Heath and Mr.. Gleason differed as to
the propriety of having the lighting in
charge of the gas company, the former
thinking that the result was more hours
charged for than necessary and the latter
that there was less cost for repairs when
the company had charge of the matter
Alter the discussion of the report n
motion to re-elect the old board oil bailiffs
was lost. j. B Morse was then re. elected
baliff from the first ward but declined
and Henry G. L1ll was elected; the other
bliliff5 elected were Thomas Marvin %
ward; Osman d. CiaIk 81 ward; Oghtny
Jangraw 4th ward and George o Stratton
9th ward.
Mr.. Ellis thought tax of 10 cents on
the dollar would be enough for the coming
year and that tax was voted. There is
now due to the treasurer 1854 50 and there
are outstanding accounts estimated at
500. There is due from the collector (the
Langdon tax) S73l % The indebtedness
of the village year ago was 3l7OO.3I.
Tho new board of blliff, Organized last
evening. Henry G. Lull is chairman and
U. ID. Clark clerk of the boald. Mr.. Lull
is to ha c special charge of streets, side
