We BELIEVE THERE Is little doubt in the
public mind of the necessity for com
pleie system Of sewerage for this city, and
We are glad that the constant agitation
ol the subject, inwhich the GAZETTE has been
foremost, has resulted in practical move on
the part of the City Council to obtain
reliable estimate Of the cost and extent of
Tie proposed improvement. Such an esd-
mate will form a reasonable basis OF con
leoture, and the figures submitted will
doubtless have much to do in influencing
pubic judgment in favor of or against the
work. There is no doubt the figures will
b. large, but on this point We venture to
throw out the suggestion to those opposed
to any radical Increase Of the city debt
that a work of this character
could doubtless be introduced by
degrees, occupying several years in It's
entirety, SO that the total expenditure OF
any one year would net exceed reasonable
bounds, However, few more weeks will
determine the question of cost, and then
tie subject will be open for discussion upon
its entire merits.

fOR THE FIRST time in the history of Del
aware jurisprudence the integrity and fair
ness of our Judges is called into question,
and by base inuendo they are charged with
being incapable, by reason of political preju-
dices, Of impartially hearing . capital case.
The charge comes from Republican
sources, and is rendered even more
outrageous 10y the fact that while It is an
esidcns attempt 10 manufacture capital for
a Republican charged with a capital offence,
only one of the four judges before whom he
Will be tried Is a Democrat in political senti-
ment. Surely tribunal 80 composed should
he sufficient TO satisfy the most exacting
partisan, and if political considerations were
supposed for an instant to Gctuate our judi
eiary here is every party advantage that
could be asked for. But an incorruptible,
unprejudiced bench has long been the pride
OF our people, and never before did the
tHny tongue Of scandal attempt to soil the
judicial ermine of Delaware and drag It ITO
the mire OF politics. Fortunately the charge
comes from source so disreputablc and
possessing SO little regard for dcccncy and
good breeding, that it will simply haye the
cilect of increasing the high public respec
in which the judiciary Of our State have evel
been held

WILMINGTON, MONDAY, DEC. II.
On Its Good Rahnvior.

1t is evident that the Republican majority
of the present Congress, admonished by the
severe castigation administered by the
people, is on its good behavior, and dis
posed TO deal only in respectable and honest
legislation during the remainder Of the ses-
sion
In tLis laudable resolve, we hope the Re-
publican members will receive the hearty aid
and cooperation of the Democratic minority.
10 oppose good legislation simply because
it originates from Republican sources would
be almost inconceivable folly, and as the
Democrats in Congress, as against the Re
publicans, are powerless to effect legislation
of any kind, the best thing they can dol TO
freely support every Just and righteous
measure offered from the Republican side.
1t need not be feared that any amount of
beneficial legislation will reinstate the Re-
publican party In the confidence of the
people. The rebuke so signally admins
tered on the seventh of November was in
tended not only for the Stalwart admins
tratlon, the Mahone-ruled Senate and the dis.
graced House of Representatives, but for the
whole Republican party, as managed and
controlled during the last campaign. A
sudden spasrn of virtue at this hour will not
calm the outraged feelings of the public,
and whatever amount of good legislation Is
accomplished this session will only be re-
gsried, as far as the Republican party is
concerned, as penance for the outrageous
sins committed in the past.
We believe the people viii follow up the
good work of last month by placing the
Democratic parry in full possession of the
Government at the next national contest,
and the strongest encouragement that
can be given to this evident inten-
tion will be for the Democrats
in Congress to consistently aid the majority
in whatever legislation is likely to prove
beneficial to the public, and resolutely op-
pose all such schemes Of jobbery and plunder
as disgraced the last session. This is an
easy thing to do, and Il will pay well in the
eai.

are considering plan forrevisng the entire
system Of naming streets that has prevailed
in that city The great trouble at present
if not only a duplication Of various
names, but the existence OF a
number of small streets which,
while nearly continuous, are diversely chris
tened. The change will involve great deal

opposition Of many people who do not wish
to have any change In the name of the
streets upon which they reside or do bust

As we came in this morning
we saw the window of 1911
Chestnut, next east from the
Arcade, full of framed engrav-
ings. There's a topic. But
what's the news +! Nothing
has come to us, except a con-
tinuous report, so old that it
has ceased to be news, to the
effect that the same engravings
are upstairs in the Art Gallery
that are in other large collect
ions-there may be another tn
town equally large and possi-
bly, equally choice;-and that
we sell engravings just as we
can afford to sell them; paying
no heed to the prices of those
who make them. or Of others
who sell them.
Then about frames. Actually
we don't know whether we've
got all the frame-making that
we can get through with or
not. We do know that our
own make of frames is in cer-
tain respects ahead of any
other make that we have heard
OF; and our prices are uniform,
which is contrary to the prac-
tice of the trade. What was
it that the old Greek said He
didn't care who sold the pic
lures, if he could have the
framing OF them ! Something
like that.

WASHINGTON, Sept 1.-THE death of Senator

in the Confederate army, denied that Hill ever

Boston Courier.
The venerable clergyman arose slowly in
the pulpit, and glancing around on the thinly
scattered congregation, said i'll an emphatic
tone, in which there was more of sorrow than
of anger: my beloved brethren, l am in
hopes that there will be more present next
Sabbath, as ! will have occasion to reveal a
scandal which has long oppressed my heart
1t concerns the members of this church very
deeply, aud no one that has regard for eter-
nal happiness should be absent" When the
benediction was pronounced the handful of
people slowly dispersed, but behold how much
good seed few can scatter! The next Sun
day the sacred editice was packed There
was, indeed, hardly breathing room when the
white haired sage once more lifted his head
above the pulpit cushions, and silence as of
death fell upon the expectant throng. He
stood a moment looking upon the unwonted
scene and then his voice in silvery cadence
broke the hush of anticipation. Dear
friends" he said, "the scandal | would reveal
is this-you will gather in this place in crowds
to hear inischievous gossip, but will not listen
to explanations of the inspired word. Now,
my children, | offer my resignation | am
going to Europe for six months, and l shall
paw my own expenses" But no one of the
vast multitude took the lesson to HIMSELF lie
applied it to his neighbor.

The Liquor Dealers Association of I'LL
nois held convention during the week at
Rock Island and decided to change the
name of the organization to that of The
State Protective Association. The pro-
|ceedings were largely conducted in secret,
but among the resolutions published Is
one commencing and endorsing the stand
taken by the late Illinois democratic state
convention on the liquor question, though
another resolution to commit the members
to the support of the democratic state ticket
this fall excited so much discussion that it
was withdrawn.
