An Ungrateful Owl.
ruforoagtar naya,ta

A well-known place of physical refresh
meut in Conord, N H., is presided over by
John Adams, a man Of such tender sensi-
bilities that when the other night, just as
he was shutting up shop, he discovered a
half-frozen owl on the doorstep, he took the
bird in and made II comfortable. When he
retired for the night he left the owl perched
upon the safe, TO which one OF it's legs was
fastened by a stout cord, and blinking with
extreme gratitude and devotion. As soon
as be had gone the owl bit the cod in two,
deyoured every fragment Of food on we'll

The Opposition to Increased Repressn-
tasion.

With q surprising unanimity that entirely
brushes away the barriers of diverse political
sentiments, the press of Kent and Sussex
counties join In opposing the Bates bill pro-
vidlng for increased representation for New
Castle county, and demand settlement of
the question through the medium of county
division or Constitutional Convention.
As these unanimous conclusions cannot
wen be tie result of q proconcerted under
standing, they must be considered as fairly
representing the opinions Of the people Of
the two counties, without regard 70 their
partisan feelings. Thus, while the Demo-
cratic organ Of Kent, the DsIdVdreG1, holds
to the opinion of Chancellor Salisbury that
no increase Of representation can be uu-
equally divided between the three
counties except through an alteration Of
the Constitution. the Sentinel, the aeknowI-
edged Republican organ OF the State, as
well as Of Kent county, earnestly fayors .
Constitutional Convention as the best and
most popular plan for determining thevexed
question. The Milford Necs, another Re
publican Journal, violently opposes repre-
sentation according to population unless
It is coupled with division
of New Castle County, which is equivalent
to direct opposition to the principle Of
equal representation for which the people
of the upper county are now contending.
In Sussex County the Journal takes the
same ground, and the Democrat is In favor
of submission of the Bates apportionment
to the people, claiming that only treason
''Able increase of New Castles representa-
ton was the issue before the people at the
last election.
1t will readily be seen, therefore, that the
bill introduced by Mr. Bates has had the
good effect OF showing the non-partisan
character of the opposition, and placing the
question squarely before the people Of the
two lower counties for an honest considera-
tlon. The unfavorable tone Of the news
paper comments is not very encouraging,
but there is hope that an intelli-
gent discussion of the question
may lead the represents tatives OF
Kent and Sussex to recognize the justice
of our demands and give TO New Castle the
desired increase. County division Is expen-
sive and not particularly desirable, Consts-
tutioual amendments. are tedious and uncer-
tain, while a Constitutional Convention,
under the present system of representation,
would leave New Castle county in the same
weakened and restricted situation we now
occupy in the Legislature.
We see no reason why the Legislature
should not act upon the question al once
aud pass the Bates bill, either in its en-
tirety or with such reduction of the pro-
posed increase of representation as in their
Judgment seems best. In no other way can
the representatives fulfill the pledges
made by the party to which they
owe their election, and while Consti-
tutional Convention may be necessary in
order to provide for the district system and
TO effect other needed reforms, the first and
most pressing duty is to do justice TO New
Castle county in the way that has already
been pointed out.

IF ANY LEGISLATION at all is necessa ~
70 enable the City Council to return to the
Board If Education the school money used
by Council for city purposes, it should be
confined to an act authorizing the raj ing Of
the required amount by taxation during the
coming fiscal year. This money was used by
the City Council for the benefit of the
people OF Wilmington, who were, at the
time, clamoring for more public improve
ments aud conveniences than the ordinary
revenues could provide, and the failure Of
the Council to include the money so used in
the amount to be raised by taxation for
the current year, so that it could be
promptly turned over to the School
Board, was a breach Of faith. No legal
opinion had then been delivered to prevent
this action, nor would 1t have been forth
coming had Council, at the proper time,
proceeded to do its plain duty in the prem
ises, as the return of the money
would surely have created no
opposition, when not voice was
raised against its use II was only
after the failure OF Council to make
provision for its repayment that its power 10
reimburse the School Board was called into
question. We hope the Legislature win not
authorize any increase of the city debt in
this connection, but will simply empower
Council TO raise the money from the ordi
nary sources of revenue.

IP THE MEMBERS OF the Legislature de-
sire to pass a measure of real public benefit,
we respectfully suggest that they abolish
the cumbersome and expensive Little
Election" Inspectors could be chosen
at the previous general ele ition or appointed
BY the Levy Court, which body could also
appoint Road Commissioners and Assessors
for the several hundreds. Or, If deemed
advisable, let all these officials be elected at
the general election. The Little Election"
is about the most useless piece Of political
machinery in the State, and by dis
tensing with it the public convenience
would be enhanced and the State
relieved of an expense OF nearly 81 900 every
two years. Let the Little Election" go, as
It is costly nuisance, productive of no good
whatever.

see an error in business where he
ceases TO raise sheep. Any article
OF trade or merchandise or stock,

ways causes demand for it. When
sheep are scarce wool is necessarily
scarce and in demand, and the
the prices for it high in the mar
ket. Since my experience with
sheep, which has been about a fteen
years, wool has commanded as
much as seventy-tive per pound.
A few years previous to such high
prices taking place wool was as
low down as at present, sheep cor
respondingly low, SO that sheep
and wool are like all other stock
and commodities subject to varia-
tons and fluctuations, as it relates
to price and demand for it but
are such justifiable reasons for de-
ncuncing the trade and quitting
the business? The course OF things

the question, as well as censures
the business capacity of the men,

The coming spring time will tell
the tale that vast sums OF money

debts and expenses, and owing to
the cruel enlightenment of sheep
during the past year predict
higher aud better prices for this
stock the incoming year; II not so

when 1t will be so. We now leave
