DISTRICT REPREsENEATIOH.

ANY cool observer Of events mus
have been forced to the conclusion tina
for the lack Of united New Castle n;
substantial improvement will be effect
ed at this session of our Legislature in
the matter Of frepresent tation.
Let her writer's, her speakers and he
statesmen ignore platitudes. Let hel
politicians refrain from clubbing theii
opponents with false assumptions o
the position Of Kent and Sussex in
this matter. For just, equitable and
manly representation of every portion
of the commonwealth, let New Castle
labor with single heartedness that
shall Danish the suspicion of some po-
litical advantage sought, and she will
rally support throughout the State
which our Legislators will be glad to
heed
Though late, that step was in the
right direction which at Wilmington
on Saturday evening last, sought,
with non-partisan effort to concen-
trate the advanced thought Ofthe State
in favor Of the best legislation in this
matter.
The following is the form of petition
adopted at that meeting:
TO the Honorable, the Senator's and members
Of the House Of Representatives. Of the State
of Dsla,oare in General Assembly met:
We, the undersigned citizens Of
county, respectfully petition your
honorable body to submit constitu-
tlonal amendment to the people of the
State providing for representation in
the General Assembly according to
population under the district system
for all parts of the State outside of
cities containing ten thousand 100000
inhabitants or more, and for represen-
tation for cities of ten thousand in
habitants and more according to some
multiple of the numerical basis fixed
for that part of the State lying outside
Of the cities.
This petition merits a liberal sigma
ture in Kent and Sussex, whereby we
may refute the charges of our unfair
ness. We can afford to do right.
The district system is right and any
thing more or less than this will work
Berious wrong to US, as well as to New
Castle.
What patience can the people have
with such platitudes as the following,
which was used in criticism of this
movement by q prominent Whining
ton daily;
"No matter how future elections
may go, the project will never be
favorably considered south of Duck
Creek until the Republican party re-
pudiates its present obnoxious mana
gers, and effects a reorganization that
will entitle 1t to respect and confidence.
If not to the suffrages, of the people of
the State"
BY what logic may the maladmins-
trauon of either party be made an |
against District Representa-
tion? Indeed, if the writer has but
proven that either party, or all parties
are controlled by rings, then he has
advanced the strongest argument
against elections by counties, and in
favor of elections by smaller districts.
Away with all partisan legislation
In this matter, and give us a constitu-
sional amendment that will suit our
growth, aud that will encourage our
development.
Again we say, a united New Castle
will find sufficient encouragement in
Kent and Sussex to start this matter
In the right direction.

The day following the explanations IN
the library Kate Dillon was too III to leave
her room; she sent for Mrs. Markham,
however, and after an apparently very
pleasant conversation, announced much
to the surprise OF that lady, her intention
to dispose of her paintings. and asked
Mrs. Nj. II she wouldn't make arrange
ments for the sale of them with WELL
known art firm on fremont street, in Bos-
ton, who were personally acquainted with
Miss Dillon and thoroughly appreciated
her ability.
Mrs. Markham was surprised and de-
lighted with the proposition. She was
now fully convinced that Kate was pre-
pairing to assume the matrimonial yoke

Rates request to call ON Mr.. Black " Ev-
erly, and make such arrangements in
Rates interest as she deemed wise and
proper.
Mrs. Markham, with the assistance OF
Miss Dillon, who was not too i'll to assist
i'll such pleasing labors, selected from
her extensive collections such works .s
would best suit the public taste, and had
them carried down stairs, and turned ov-r

In the meantime Kate kept closely to

Lightly we glance the fresh cut marbles DER;
Those two of earlier date our eyes cnthiall;
The proud old Brton's by the western door,
And hers, the Lady Of Colonial days,
Whose virtues live in lopg-drawn classic
phrase,
The fair Francisco of the southern wall.
Ayl those were goodly men that Reynolds
drew,
And stately danes our Copley's canvas
holds,
Totheir old Church, their Royal Master, true,
Proud of the claim their valiant sirss had
earned,
That ''gentie blood, - not lightly to be spurned,
Save by the churl ungenerous Nature
moulds
All vanished 1t were idle to complain
That ere the fruits shall come the flowers
must fall
Yet somewhat we have lost amidst our gaip,-
Some rare ideals time may not restore,
The charm of courtly breeding, seen no more,
And reverence, dearest ornament OF all.
Thus musing, to the western wall came,
Departing: 10, tablet fresh and fair,
Where glistened many youths remembered
name
In golden letters on the snow-white stone,-
Young lives these aisles and arches once have
known,
Their country's bleeding altar might not
spasc.
These died that we might claim soil I'M
stained,
Save by the blood OF heroes; their requests
realm unserved and a race unclaimed
Has purer blood through Norman veins come
down
From the rough knights that clutched the Sax
on's crown
Than warmed the pulses in these faithful
breasts.
These, too, shall live in history's deathless
page,
High ON The slow-wrought pedestals OF fame,
Ranged with the heroes of remoter age;
They could not die who left their nation free,
Firm as the rock, uufettered as the sea,
It's heaven unshadowcd by the cloud of
shame.

Kate received her caiess with queer
