BE AGGRESSIVE.
The Duty OF the Water Commission in Its
Contest with the City Council.

1t is to be hoped that the Water Commits
sion of the city of Wilmington will not let
the grass grow under their feet in setting
about to obtain the control of the water de-
partment of that city. There is only one
thing necessary for them to do to obtain pos
session of the works, and that is to show
grit and backbone, and let those who now
have set themselves above all law under
stand that they know their rights and are
bound to have them.
city is not only theoretically, as the
Morning NelOs processes to believe, but prac-
tically, also, a creature of the Legislature.
The Legislature created it when it gave to
it charter for its government. 1t became
its creature when 1t obtained at the hands
of the Legislature the rules for its regula-
tion and government, and 1t is but mere
vaporing to contend otherwise. That it
is creature practically and theo-
retically is fact that cannot be
gainsaid. Being its creature, the legisla-
ture, as its creator, can therefore pass acts
amendatory and supplementary in relation
to it, That has been decided more than
once In the courts of the land, and SO sound
has the doctrine been considered to be that
its soundness was never before questioned.
A Republican City Council, however, thinks
otherwise and proposes to bring the question
before the courts of Delaware for judicial
settlement.
We have known for some time that this
municipal corporation has considered itself
of great Importance. If we mistake not,
so great did its importance appear TO be In
the eyes of some, that when the bill was be-
tore the last Legislature praying for new
charter for the city of Wilmington, Sec
tion was Incorporated the substance
of which was, that if the bill passed
by the Legislature was satisfactory
to the City Council of Wilmington il
should become law, otherwise not. Ex-
perience has taught the Republican party,
and rightly SO, that braVado and bluster
can accomplish a great deal. There has
been in the past too great lack of back
bone on the part of the Democratic party in
regard to questions, the carrying out of
which has been met with the violent op-
position of the Republican party, and
as in past matters, so 1t is with the
question of the control of the water
department of the city of Wilmington. Seri-
ously, those who are now contending expect
nothing but delay In this movement of re-
sistance, and they hope by inspiring fear
and trembling to obtain a further lease upon
the office. Republicanism has succeeded on
account of the aggressiveness of its leaders
and the weakness of those who undertook
to lead its opponents.
1t is the duty of the commission to take
the aggressive in this matter, push these
men who are now usurping the office to the
wall, and let the people know which is more
powerful, handful of Republicans consti-
tuting majority in a City Council, or the
laws of the State of Delaware

A semi. entsnnial.

The 50th anniversary OF the establishment
of Catholicism in Chicago was celebrated

Some remarkable plays were made, among

Unfortunately though the Jeffersons' had
too many strikers, not political, and at the
end of the game the score stood 80 to 13,

The Eye.


The eye shows character. The eyes Of
great warriors have almost always been
gray, their brows lowering like thunder
clouds. Inventors have large eyes, very
full. Philosophers, the most illustrlous,
have had large and deep set eyes. The
poets all have large, full eyes; and musi-
clans eyes are large and lustrous. Bunon
considers that the most beautiful eyes are
the black and blue. We think we have
seen black and blue eyes that were far
from beautiful. Byron says the ga
Zelle will weep at the sound OF mu-
sic. The gaZelle's eyes have been
called the most beautiful in the world,
and the greatest compliment an Arab can
pay his mistress is to compare her eyes to
a gaZelle's. Cleopatra had black eyes.
Mary Queen of Scots had liquid gray eyes.
Dark eyes show power, light eyes gentle
ness and grey eyes sweetness. mere Is
great magic power in the eyes Of several
of the lower animals. The lions, the
tigers and the serpent's eyes are all mag
netic. 1t is we'll known the serpent Will
charm birds that are flying above II, until
in great circles they will sweep down 10
the destruction that awaits them. \
friend of the writer. a Doctor was
one day walking in the fields, when
he saw an adder lying on rock. he
drew near to examine II, and presently
looked at its eyes. He was attracted by
their great beauty, and Involuntary
stepped forward two or three steps. Beau
tifuI light flowed from them, and seemed
to battle the very coils of the serpent.
Gradually he drew closer, until, just as
he was almost within the reptiles reach,
he fell. feeling, as he said afterward, as
though he had been struck by stone.
When he became conscious his head was
in a friends lap. His first words were:
.'Who struck me - ''No one struck you,
doctor. saw you were charmed by the
snake. and | struck it with a stOne." He
had struck the snake and the doctor had
felt the blow.
