1T is doubtful if any considerable
number of persons are in favor of the
foolish project OF placing the granting
of liquor licenses for the city of Will
mington in the hands of the Judge OF
the Municipal Court or any other one
man. II it is to be committed to any
one man, that man might as well be
Judge Cummins rs anybody else. When
o change in the mode of granting liquor
licenses was first broached, three men,
the Associate Justice, the Municipal
Justice and the Mayor of Wilmington
were spoken of for a license tribunal.
If a change is TO be made, it would
appear to an anprej udiced mind that
this triangular court would possess
more varied and concentrated sound
wisdom than one man who would be a
central pivot of power, whose word
would be law, and whose actions would
be irrevocable.

that is absolutely new, and that perhaps will be
found touching. 1t Is the story of an autograph
of a girls letter written in the very crisis and
agony of the great war for the Union, to the
President She had, she wrote, loved dearly
as dearly as woman could--an officer in
Pennsylvania regiment He had promised to re-
turn and marry her, but he had not been long
at the front when she discovered that his return
must be speedyif he desired to save her fair
fame. This he was more than willing to do for
he loved her sincerely. and he had made press
ing application for a furlough, going even to
Secretary Stanton himself, but in vain. Not a
man could be spared from the front. So the girl

She conjured him in language simple, but how
full of earnestness-for her sake, for the sake of
her parents gray hair, to let John come home.

publicly. And tho sad-eyed, tender-hearted

amount of stock Of the company. When the
two roads were consolidated, the Lake Erie
company agreed to fulfil all contracts of both
companies. Whitehouse, two years ago, de-
manded from the Lake Erie company stock Of
the Muncie road for his bonds, but the demand
was not complied with, as there was notthen, nor
has there been since, stock of the Muncie rail-
way in existence. He then sued for the value Of
$4,000 of Muncie stock at the time he made the
demand. Judge Blades decides adversely to
Whitehouse. Among the points in his opinion
are the following The two companies had a
perfect legal right TO consolidate, having pre-
viously notified all bondholders, and giving
them full opportunity to come forward and avail
them selves of the option given in the Muncie
bonds; that holders Of these bonds preferred to
hold them; that WEitehouss acquired the bonds
subsequent to the consolidation, and after the
Muncie stock had ceased to exist and could not
exercise this option at that time. The case IN

A Masculine Appeal for Justice.

A prominent lady writer and lecturer now at

her sisters Of the pen and rostrum never to
trust man, in business at least. II the recol-
lections of the last twenty years serve Alright,
the lady in question owes not all of her pro-
nouuced success to her own personality and
ability. No one has been so quick to recognize
her capacity as her brethren of the press and
pen. And the Casual Observer enters caveat
against habit which does not, like old wine,
improve with age, of charging on men, person
ally or collectively, the desire habit of dealing
unfairly with women who pursue professional or
Industrial avoeations. Every woman who has
had to launch out on the great tides of COM
full and has been wise in her ways and
walks, tell of much, and often unsolicited gen.
erosity. of kindness on the part Of the 'wretched
men, they have met, and with whom they have
often had to compete, to the material injury of
the man. There is something too much among
the modern women who labor, and so often with
large results, of this I'M Justice to the There
is little truth in it, and as matter of fact it
argues against women who do it,. AS matter
of fact also it may be said in all gentleness that
such modern women" are too otter chary of
their courtesies either in recognition social

the equality to which they fully entitled, but
are determined not to surrender any one Of those
pet prerogatives of their sex, which h ave grown
up i'll the past, as the compensatory conditions
