our Sensitive city Fathers.

When the GAZETTE, yesterday, paid Its
compliments 10 the City Council In relation
TO the new charter, and classed our city
fathers as I" highly hypercritical body,
II had no idea of the great storm this un-
Objectionable and to some extent compli-
mentary appellation would occasion.
The most grievously offended member
seems 10 be the Honorable William Henry
QHinn of the Second ward, and the burden
Of Mr.. Quinn's complaint arises from the
erroneous impression that we were charging
him and his distinguished colleagues with
being "hypocritical" in the fuldllment of
their public duties. He clung to this idea
most tenaciously and refused to believe there
was any difference In the two terms, not
withstanding the fact that the President of
Council kindly defined them for the ediflca-
ton Of himself and some of HIS fellow
members.
Now, we beg to insure the Honorable Mr..
Quinn that we had not the slightest inteu-
tion OF chasing him as "hypocritieal,p for
AL who know the distinguished local states
man are fully aware that hypocrisy is sin
he will never be called upon to answer for.
His brilliant career in City Council, and the
sharp and caustic manner in which he
constantly eadeayors TO bring his
tagging fellow members to per-
ception Of their public duties as he
sees them, clearly lays hla open to the
charge Of being "hypercritical, but if the
honorable gentleman persists in setting up
q dictionary of his own in opposition TO
Webster and Worcester, we are at loss to
know what course to pursue. AT any rate,
we are convinced that 1t would be utterly
useless to attempt TO convince him of the
vast difference between the two terms he
has so hopelessly coDfounded, and cannot
afford TO waste further time and space upon
the matter.

The MORNING ORGAN feels called upon
to assure the people of Wilmington that it
is an honest newspaper. Well, we do not
wonder at its doubt concerning public
opinion in the matter which this assurance
reveals when it has the impudenee,
in plain view of It's tacit support
Of {" Dick Harrington last fall
to declare that it 'has no hesitation In
" rebuking Republican FOLLY when it secs it,
"or thinks that it sees it; aud there
:" is not a Democratic paper in this
" State that would surpass" it ''ac-
"eording to the measure Of its informa-
" tion and ability, in rebuking Republican
" fraud" Upon any hypothesis Of honesty
It must have been very weak and ignorant
indeed prior to November 7th last.

The BEST THING the Board of Education
can do is to let legislative matters alone, as
there is no necessity just now for any par
ticular legislation in regard TO the public
schools. By no means should the sugges-
ton TO strike out the charter provision pro-
hibiting members of the Board from accept
ing contracts from that body be permitted
to prevail. If members of the Board wish
to accept these contracts, let them first re-
sign their positions.

oId Rorens on the Rnmnace.

The high wind whis.led around the chin
ney tops aud steeples, and blew bricks
down into the street soaring the people who
walked below. Snow, sleet and hail drove
into the faces of those who dared expose
themselves, ana made them button their
coats tight around their thruate. OF course
there were sore throats and colds and
coughs and rheumatisms the next day. But
what were these to men and women who
could step into any drug store and buy a
bottle of PERRY DAvIs's PAX KILLER

The champion wolr story.
rTnlnro lcnl. ] Tlrnes.l


A strange story is related by some per-
sons who reside near Leemoore. II is
vouehed for by several persons OF known
veracity. It relates TO the foresight aud in
vention manifested by large wolf that in
tests that district. The parties in question
had been missing poultry for some time.
The decimatlon had proceeded TO that ex-
tent il aroused to activity the defensive fac
ulties of the poultry owners. While one of
them, Mr.. Stark Hill, was looking about
for some traces Of the depredator, he came
across duck that had been raised by w. r.
Massmeyer. Its head was all that was visi-
BILE. The body had been buried with the
wings spread out, and the earth had been
tramped down. The duck was still alive,
although It had been missing for three days.
IL A evident that The wolf had taken this
plan to supply It's future wants, and had
managed TO keep the fowl alive SO that II
would not spoil before he should want it.

WE SUGGEST THAT Mr.. Quinn, the Honor
able member of Council from the 8 econd
ward, invest fifty cents in pocket dlcti on
airy for handy reference upon occasions
such as that of last night. It would pay at
least hundred per cent. The Honorable
Mr.. Levi Garrett would also find such an
investment a profitable one. Perhaps it
would be a good idea for him and Mr..
Quinn to club together in the matter and
take lessons at night from some school boy.
This suggestion, We fancy, will not be con-
sidered hypercritical " one.

WE ARE GLAD TO note that the City Coun-
ell has adopted the GAzETTE's suggestion
and stricken out the clause in the new charter
allowing the City Solicitor fee of three
dollars for each prosecution in the Mayors
court. The Solicitor recommended this
expunction, as the provision was inserted
by his colleague in the work of revision,
against his advice and Judgment.

THE MORNING ORGAN seems bent upon
getting City Solicitor Turner into trouble.
We take the liberty OF assuring the morning
organ, on behalf Of Mr.. Turner, that he
knows where to buzz and where not to buzz.
He has had some experience in this life, not.
withstanding that his youthful and innocent
appearance may be against such conclu-

WHILE THE NEW charter is under discus
sion would it not be well to strike out the
clause requiring freehold as one Of the
qualifications Of membership in the City
Council The idea that fec simple in a
foot of real estate enables man to prove a
better legislator than his less fortunate
neighbor is too obsolete and ridiculous TO
be entertained in this enlightened age.

ANNEXATION OF MANITOBA.

1t would seem from a dispatch pub.
lished in yesterday mornings MINER
that the people of Manitoba are dis
satisfied with the Dominion Govern
ment and are anxious to be annexed
to the United States. Little or no
stock should be taken in this kind of
talk. In the first place there are a
great many Americans in that part of
British Columbia, and it is very nat
ural they should desire to live under
the United States Government, and
a great deal of this annexation talk
comes from them. In the next place
the talk is INDUCED in for a purpose.
The people there want certain con-
cessions from the home government,
and they doubtless imagine that if
they exhibit a restless spirit and can
convey the impression they r ready
to revolt, or will ask to be set apartor
passed over to the care OF the United
IuOoC CV4CcSSlO4s WILL NC tu6
more readily granted.
There is no question that Manitoba
would be a desirable acquisition to
the United States. A great country is
there formed by the Red River valley
which for fertility of soil cannot be
excelied. But the day has passed for
country to obtain possession oft.
Had the "6fty-four-forty or fght''po-
Icy of Folks administration been
out the United States would
have the cream of the Empire upon
our northern border and the estab-
Of a Gordon Of States to ever |
threaten us in time of war with other !
powers would have been an impOssi.
Great Britain will never peace
Fully relinquish her possessions to the
north of us and all seriol 8 talk about
Manitoba being annexed to the
United States is simple nonsense or
he harmless yaDOrinp of fools.
