The movement started at the meeting of
the Young Mems Republican Club, on Sat
urday night, to prevent the success of the
proposed amendment to the Constitution
granting increased representation to New
Castle county by endeavoring to create a
public sentiment In favor of the district
system, should not be countenanced for an
instant by the Legislature or the people who
wish to see this vexed question satisfactorily
settled.
In the first place, we believe this new
movement to be utterly devoid of sincerity
and purely for political effect. During all
the discussion of the subject, commencing
early in January, the Republicans Of Will
mington preserved a profound silence, even
when the Bates bill, providing for substan-
tial increase by direct legislation, was under
consideration. AS long as everything was at
sea they kept their distance, but when it
became apparent that the Legislature was
likely to adopt a constitutional amendment
making a liberal increase in New Castle
county's representation, they became
troubled with mortal fear that something
was going TO be done, and fastened to set
their district scheme " in motion, In the
hope of dividing public sentiment to an ex-
tent sufficient to induce the Legislature to
take no action in the matter at all.
The checklist part of the whole procedure
is the presumption OF the Young Mems Re-
publican Club in inviting the Jefferson Club
and other Democratic organizations to
=" join with them" in calling public meet
ing in the interest of district representation.
1t is rather late in the day to create an agita-
tion in favor of such a decided legislative
reform, and had the disinterested patriots
of the Y. NJ. r. c. manifested half
their present interest two months
ago, they would have received hearty
cooperation and assistance from the ranks
of their political opponents. But since the
entire question has been confined, as far as
public interest Is concerned, to the Demo-
cratic people, who have patiently lsbored
until the pathway has been opened for a
satisfactory measure of reform, it would be
folly to deliberately abandon all that has
thus far been gained for the purpose of urg-
ing a measure that has no reasonable hope
of success at this late day.
We see by our Dover correspondence thi:
morning that the amendment will probably
be reported to the House to-day. AS the
subject has been fully ventilated it would
be well for both Houses to put stop to use
less agitation by adopting the amendment
without any unnecessary delay.

able but "spoke too lightly of veal soup"
Dickens, gourmand himself, abounds in

evident appreciation of the effort that he
makes Sam Weller go to ''swarry." To
these and other writers great debt of CASTRO

seldom done, to accord them their just meas

SAN ANTONIO is the natural source of sup
plies for Mexico and the natural market for
Mexican wares. AT present local merchants
sustain pleasing and profitable relations with
Mexican dealers, but they do less than half
the business with Mexico that they should do.
Nearly all American goods should pass
through our hands thence and the names of
our merchants should be known throughout
the sister Republic. Time was when much
of this trade could have been easily secured
but it was not, and now that representatives of
other cities have made efforts in that drec-
ton it will not fall into its patural channel
without an effort. We need here enterprising
wholesale dealers who will work in the inter-
est of the community by working for
their own interests. The establishing
of such a business would not be
unattended with difficulties for St.
Louis, Chicago, Philadelphia, New Or
leans and Galveston have long been endeavor-
ing to increase their commercial traffic with
Mexico, but, once established, no.doubt could
be entertained that large profits would accrue.
Probably the greatest percentage of income
would not be from sales to Mexican mer-
chants but from the handling of Mexican pro-
ducts. To better attain the object indicated
a Mexican-American commercial exchange
should be established with depot in this city
for the display of Mexican wares and another
in Monterey for the exhibition of the products
and manufactures OF this country.

VARIANT opinions are expressed by doc
tors of theology on the subject of the efficacy
Of gallows repentance as means Of grace.
Some of the more austere and punctilious hes
itate to accept as an assurance of salvation
conversion attributable, not always to a con-
trite spirit, but to guilty terror and the maud
lin sentimentality produced by the generous
quantities of liquor on the certifying effect OF
which Sheriffs are believed to place more
reliance than on the ceremony of extreme
JUNCTION. But if one were to believe criminals
themselves he would not fail to assert that
they really merit future bliss when beset by
the emotions which commonly melt to tender
ness the most stubborn of mortals brought to
that awful position in which they may count
their remaining days on their fingers. An
example of alleged progression from the gal
lows to heaven is that of a negro hanged at
Texarkana few days since. On the scaffold
he said he expected to receive a crown of
glory after death" After the mournful cere~
nony persons of his own race carried the
body to church and sang and prayed and
shouted and went into frances and capered
over it till midnight, when the Sheriff took it
for burial. They evidently considered him
already saint.

Nor only our physical but oar mental con-
ditions depend in great degree on what we
eat, and this fact has been so thoroughly rec
ognized that if one picks out all the CASTRO
nomical illusions in English prose and poetry
our whole literature will seem a vast Rabe-
laisan revel. Thackeray lauds the good cook
and his works. and in his Ballad OF Bouila-
boise "begins by tickling our palates and
ends by pulling out our heart strings" Lamb

CLERGYMEN have preached, the religious
press has theorized and ecclesiastical councils
have listened to essays and joined in discus
sions on the subject of the want of increase in
regular church attendance, yet not more than
one-half the pews are regularly occupied on
Sunday, and in many houses of worship, built
and maintained at a great expense, the pro-
portion is less. The true reason for this is
probably that the religious systems in vogue
do not appeal to our symPathies so strongly as
do the personalities on whose workings they
are based. Not Confucianism, but Confucius
not Buddhism, but Buddha! not Mahometan-
ism, but Mahomet! not Christianity, but
Christ All persons, even those who have
abandoned an established church or creed,
honor the founder of that church or creed
while repudiating the system named after him.
This is a fact indisputable. 1t is shown by
the increasing tendency of people to dwell on
the kindly acts, the pure parallels, the human
itarianism of their prophet, while at the same
time they endeavor to forget the awful char
acter assigned to him, ..and grow ashamed OF
their dogmas. 1t is not a sermon offspring
from systems Astounding with supernatural
terrors become grotesqne as their essential
promises havs become antiquated, not such a
sermon as that which the masses are willing
to receive and try to understand, but one that
brings them nearer to the beloved figure who
wept over his dead friend, who knew the
scripture of the lilies and the waving corn,
who babe men ''rest in the faith that, even as
they forgave the trespasses of men, all the
more would the divine love forgive them
Leave dogmas to the dogmatic; preach the
I religion of humanity.

some degree of reason, that one-half the num-

PROFESSOR PEPPER, of the University of
Pennsylvania, is authority for the statement
that the ratio of physicians to the general
population of the United States is as one to
GOO, and that an average of from eight to 10
patients is all that the ordinary medical prac-
titioner has to depend on for an income. If
this be true, and there is no reason for doubt
ing that it is, it resolves into an irrefutable
argument in favor of diminishing the number
of newly-fedged physicians by returning to the
old requirement Of four years preparatory COL
legiate training and three years study in a
medical school. Practicing physicians will
not oppose the proposition, for they are aware
that the present systems encourage compet-
ton to the detriment OF their own interests /;
the more intelligent aspirants for medical
honors will not, for they have evidence that
slender indeed is the graduates prospect OF
remunerative employment, and the general
public will not, for the benefits to be de-
rived by it from the ensuing higher standard
OF medical attainn ents are obvious to every
body.

A TENDENCY to 'gush" is characteristic of
the American people. No sooner is it pro-
posed to honor some departed statesman
than glowing tributes are paid to him and we
ask one another why similar plan was not
thought of long ago. But the American peo-
pie are becoming cautious as to monetary ex-
penditures. "Gush" costs nothing and is
freely given, but when a man is asked to
furnish evidence Of his professed feelings by
contributing money the fountain of his sympa-
thy dries. By the way, what has become of
the movement to erect a monument to the
memory of Sam Houston?
