derSJandS tne danger OF delay IN THIS
matter.
In NOTICING the correspondence
between Mr.. Chenoweth and Gov.
Brown. regarding the admission of
evidence before the railway commit
tee, of which Mr.. Chenoweth is chair
man, no improper reflection upon the
last named gentleman was intended.
The use of the word ''manipulates" in
regard to the evidence taken before
the committee was to make an appli-
cation intended simply to apply to
the handling of the evidence
by the chairman of the committee
in his official capacity. No one
presumes, nor does the STATESMAN
suppose it for one moment, that Mr..
| Chenoweth has not treated the testi-
mony received as any honorable per-
son would treat it. The purpose was
to reflect alone upon the probable in
justice done Gov. Brown in his mot
being permitted, when the evidence
was ordered printed, to examine
it and to offer in rebuttal such
evidence as might be just for
the cause of the defendant. The
rules of courts, if applied to the
case in point, would have given Gov.
Brown reasonable time, and the same
rule. it seems to us. ought to apply to
a trial before legislative committee.
Mr.. Chenoweth puts his reason for
refusal on the ground that railway
representative had already had time to
offer evidence for the defence. and that
the request of Gov. Brown was purely
in the interest Of delay. The STATES
MAN imputeS no bad motives to either
Mr.. Chenoweth or to Gov. Brown in
this matter. and only presumes that
the latter gentleman would have
asked nothing to which he felt he
was not honestly entitled as the at
torney of the great industries he rep

There was narrow escape from a
serious conflagration in the Western
Union Office this morning. Upwards
of fifty wires were temptorily rendered
unserviceable by the burning off from
them of the insulation, which became
lgnlted from some sudden and I'M
known cause, similar to an overcharge
of electricity. The fire blazed out
alarminglv, but was subdued with
but slight damage, and everything is
working all right tonight. AS the
wires affected were all local, and no
electric disturbance has occurred in
this section, the theory of overcharge
of electricity is almost untenable, and
makes the cause of the fire mystery
to the employees of the Office.

the bill, said in his politest toues2

A New Lie Abroad.
New York Times. J


The old saying that liars should have long
memories finds new exemplltication in the
circulation OF neat little "LincOln story"
which first appeared in a Boston paper and
Is now travelling OH It's mendaciuus mission.
The tale is that "a reliable gentleman"
called on President Lincoln "just after JEFF
Davis had been captured" and asked what
would be done with the rebel President. To
this, says the narrator, Lincoln replied with
a story y'about coon which boy had cap
tured and which he could not sell, or kiil,
or keep at home. The only weak point about
this historical aneedote is that Lincoln died
April Is, 1865, and that Jefferson Davis was
not captured until May IL of that year.
Otherwise the intense realism of the tale
might deceive the very elect.

WILMINGTON. FIR IDAY, JUNE 30.
rhe Tax rate Fixed at Last.

City Council, last night, fixed the tax rate
for the next fiscal year at Sl.50 on the 500,
and this is the amount taxpayers will be
compelled to pay upon the assessed vaVua-
ton of their property when they settle with
the collectors next month.
This is the heaviest tax-rate ever
imposed upon cur people, and
the worst OF it is that there is doubt
that even this excessive taxation will be
sufficient to carry OH the affairs of the city a
year without creating deficiency. The
rate is barely large enough to cover the ap-
preparations made, leaving no margin
worth speaking of for the deficiency
of between $4,000 and $50, 900 lett by the
"model'' Republican CoInc | of last year.
OF course much can be accomplished by
living within the appropriations and thus
creating surplus which can be applied 10
the deficiency, but this is too much to
expect, even from our present
Council, which appears to be vast
improvement over its Incompetent predeces-
sor. MIR. Pickles, chairman of the Finance
Committee, says the existing deficiency can

this time next year, they cannot be claimed
as assets available for the purpose men
toned. 1t looks very much there
fore, as though even our high tax-rate will
not preven. another. deficiency at the end o
the fiscal year.
We have no desire to cripple the new Coun
Gil al the threshold of its financial opera
tlons, but it may as well be understood tina
there will be no more additions of floating
debts TO the funded debt of the city. Tht
deficiency left by our recent "modeP
Council will have to be paid from the funds
raised by taxation, and the sooner it is done
the better it will be Lor City Council and al

THE INsoLENT manner in which Mr..
johnson, at last nights meeting of City
Council, resented Mr.. FarrelPs pertinent
query as to the right of committee TO ex-
pend more than $50 without advertising for
proposals, is ah evidence of the
spirit that prevailed during the
hey-day of the old City Rings
prosperity, when it was impudently de-
elared upon the floor OF City Council that
" minorities have mp rights that majorities
" are found to respect" Mr.. Farrell's
question was timely, and his objection good
one. Majorities are, of course, responsible
Tor the legislation they permit, but
this fact does not rob the minority members
of one whit of their rights, or relieve them
of the duty Of opposing all measures they
deem inconsistent with the public good.
Each member of Council has right to in
terpose objection and ask information, and
the arbitrary assumption OF power that
would deny him OF one and refuse to grant
him the other is not liaule to ever be directed
towards good government and regard fol
the interests OF the people.

Tho LcANrNG of money to fire companies
by the city is of doubtful legal propriety,
but as its illegAlity has not been estab
hshed, as is has been done before, and as
the late City Council led the fire companies
in question to depend upon this assistance,
the present Council did well in making the
required appropriations. The Democratic
members, however, are entitled to most
credit for the assistance thus given the
needy firemen.
