Resisuance 10 the Water Commits

We presume nobody disputes the fact
that the City Council is in rebellion
against law passed by the Legisla-
ture, creating Water Commission for
the city of Wilmington, if disregard
of an unjust law passed for partisan
purposes alone can be construed as an
incipient case of frebellion. The fact IS
well known that the Legislature did at
tempt to take from the people of VIII
mington t le right to control their own
local affairs, and the further fact is
known that this unjust law was only
pas'ed when the Republican parry
came into power. 1t never entered into
the mind Of the Legislature that II
Water Commission would be good
thing while the Democrats had control
of the Legislature, but it was only when
they We're defeated that it was discov-
cred that the Republicans were incara-
BILE of conducting the Water Works, and
that Water Commission would be a
good thing.
1t was only after the great Boss Of
the Democratic party of Wilmington
found that he had lost his grip on the
Water Department that Water Com
mission was thought of. 1t is no credit
to theDemocratic party and to Deluo-
cratic Legislature that this one man,
and he the Boss, could lead them
wherever he would, and that he did
lead them to pass law that put him
back into the very same position from
which he had been excluded by the
people. II must not be thought strange
that people, jealous of their liberties,
should be found in a state Of construed
rebellion against such a law. The sur
prise rather is that they have borne this
with their rights as good
naturedly as they have. A matter of
less Importance led to the American
revolution, and these petty political ty-
rants must not forget that the spirit of
liberty still slumbers in the breasts Of
Americans.
The City Council is reminded that
the Water Commission is law of the
State, and as such should be obeyed.
The City Council needs no reminder of
this kind. In the interests of economy,
of liberty,of good government it has
taken the risk to disregard an act ofl
tyranny and base partisanshiP, and
they are willing to take the conse-
guences. The only proof needed to
show that the Water Commission act
was one that could not be defended on
any plea of necessity and justice, is the
fact that no great effort was made byi
the State to enthrone it in power. The
State authorities made no effort to en-
force the law, though it had the physi-
cal force at its back to enforce its edcts.
1t was known that it would be an I'M
popular movement to undertake to|
place the Water Commission in power
by force. Yet we are constantly told
that we are rebels, and we are as con-
stantly asked to " disperse, you rebels,
lay down your arms aud disperse."
We will do 50 when the Courts of the
State tell us We must do it, and not
before, except upon the contingency Of
IA change in the City Council, which
will make it futile to continue the re-
sistance.

IT WOULD no doubt be pleasant to
those with musical ears to have man
in the chair as President ofCity Coun-
ell who can alternate speech making
with a song, but we doubt if Mr.. Ehoads
would display more real capacity as a

the present President Of the City Coun-
ell, has shown since he filled that office.

The Faithful Elephant.

There is beautiful story told of
an old elephant who was engaged in
battle on the plains of India He was
standard-bearer, and carried on his
huge back the royal ensign, the rally
ing point of the Poonah host. At the
beginning of the fight helost his mas
ter. The mahout, or driver, had just
given him the word to halt, when he
received fatal wound and fell to the
grouud, where he lay with heap of
slain. The obedient elephant stood
still while the battle closed round him
and the standard he carried. He
never stirred foot, refusing either TO
advance or retire as the conflict be-
came hotter and fercer until the
Mahrattas, seeing the standard flying
steadily in its place, refused to believe
that they were being beaten, and raj
lied again and again around the colors
And all this while, amid the din of
battle the patient animal stood strain
ing its ears to catch the sound of that
voice it would never hear again.
AT length the tide of the conquest
left the field deserted. Mahrattas
swept on in pursuit of the flying foe;
but the elephant, like a rock, stood
there with the dead and dying around
and the ensign waving in its place.
For three days and nights itremained
where its master had given the cnm-
mand to halt. Neither brides nor
threats could move it. Then they sent
to a village one hundred miles away,
and brought the mahout's little son.
The noble animal seemed then to re-
member how its driver had some
times given his authority to his little
child, and Immediately, with all its
shattered trappings changing as he
went, paced slowly and quietly away.

The Rotation or the Earth.

An important and anxious question o.
the modern astronomer il, whether the
earth's rotation is uniform, and if not,
an what way and to what extent does it
vary? The Importance, of course, lies
In the fact that this rotation furnishes
our fundamental measure anu anti Of
time. Up to comparatively recent
date there has not been reason to sus.
pect this unit Of any var alton sufh-
cient to be detected by human observa-
hon. 1t has long been perceived, OF
course, that any changes in tie earth's
form or dimensions must alter the
length of the day. The displacement
of the surface or strata by earthquakes
or by more gradual elevation aud sub
sidence, the transportation of matter
toward or from the equator by rivers OF
ocean currents, the accumulation or re-
moval of ice In the polar regions or or
mountain tops any such causes must
necessarily produce real eject. So,
also, must the friction Of tides and trade
winds But it has been supposed that
these effects were so minute, and to
such an extent mutually compensatory
as to be quite beyond the reach of OBJ
servation, nor is it yet certain that they
are not. All that can be said is that il
is now beginning to be questionable
whether they are or are not The rea-
son for suspecting perceptible varia.

AsHBURV PARK, y. j., Sept. 1.-THE
state convention Temperance Reform leagues,
of New Jersey, was held to-day. Fifty dele
gates we're present, representing the
Women's Christian Temperance union,
Reform clubs, Law and Order societies, Sons
OF Temperance and Catholic Temperance
unions. The platform adopted ia as follows
WHEREAS, This convention was not called
for the purpose Of endorsing or condemning
either or any existing national candidate or
party; therefore,
ReSoired, That we hereby express an
opinion that no discussion of the national
issues before the country of the attitude of
the different political parties toward the
cause of temperance ought to be entered into
or allowed during the business sessions
That, while we do not deem 1t proper to enter
into the discussions, we should have courage
in our convictions and not halt in our duty
as Christian voters when the issues are made
at the ballot box.
Resolved, That we recommend that an eff
fort be made through the Women's Christian
Temperance union to raise state fund to
open coffee houses in every available place,
especially in vacated saloons.
Resoltsd, That we recommend all temper
ance men to support only such candidates as
viii favor submission to the people of a
constitutional amendment prohibiting the
manufacture and sale of Intoxicating houor
or beverage.
ReSolUed, That this convention indorses the
Women's Christian Temperance union,
whose purpose il is to petition the legislature
to make II compulsory upon school boards to
introduce temperance and hygienic text
books In our public schools, and require
teachers to pass an examination on the sub
ject.
Addresses followed the adoption of the
resolutions.

The foregoing dispatch is, in substance,

The foregoing dispatch is, in substance, a
correct statement of a transaction which,
although strictly private business matter,
may possess some interest to the local pub
lie. As 1t will be some weeks before the trans
fer of the property to the new owners occurs,
during which time no change of any nature
Will take place in the management of the
Tribune, the undersigned will defer to fu-
ture day such utterances as may seem to be
appropriate to the event. 1t is sufficient to
say here and now that under the new own
ership the Tribune will be in exceedingly
strong and competent hands; that all that
ample capital abundant experience and
sleepless energy can do in a magnificent field
will be done by the incoming proprietors to
continue the high character of the paper and
enlarge its already conspicuous influence
and success.
The writer sells the Tribune simply because
he is rendered perfectly satisfactory price
for the property, and because he is willing to
retire from the eXacting and endless labors
involved in the sole control Of great morn
ing newspaper, which he has founded and
firmly established. &. b. NETTLEToN.
