Monday night week in the Hall of Rep
resentatiyes ct Dover, the general subject
Of temperance legislation, with special
reference to the pending Law and
Order Sociaty High License aud
Local Option bill, Is to bs publicly dis
cusssd. The high license end Of this
bill ia the one Of chief interest to the
people of Wilmington. AS for the local
option portion, 80 long as the decision of
the court OF errors and appeals in the
Rice versus Foster case stands unre-
vessed, the legislation which 1t con-
templates is clearly in conflict
with the courts declaration that it is not
In the power Of the General Assembly to
delegate such functions to the people OF
county or district. The validity of srah
legislation Vould hinge on the probability
u .npEo 6@ollsy that in anotleG tfat sFe
the present court of errors and appeals
would accord to the State constitution
greater latitude in this direction than
Its predecessor; an assumption which
might prove q very insecure foundation
upon which to enact law that, ia case
Of its outcome being victory for 'tno
hcense," would be extremely difficult of
enforcement no matter how stable lis
foundation. But in the high license sec
tions there are some provisions which We
think will commend themselves to the
approval of the large majority of the
people of Wilmington. Among these are
the $500 license FEES the provision that a
share OF these fees shall 20 into the city
treasury that at least one half the eigness OF
an application for license shall be free.
holders; that no such signer shall be in
terested in any way in the liquor bust
ness; that no person shall sign more than
one application at the same term OF court,
aud that the licensees shall be American
citizens, either by nativity or naturslizi.
ton. On the other hand, there are
provisions so obviously unjust or
impracticable that they should be
expuDged; among the former the one
requiring applicants for license to make
oath that they have never viola.ed any
the LIQUOR laws Of this State q slipuls-
tion 1hfeh, however plausible or dsfen.
hibis in theory, would work q great deal
OF unmeIited hardship or prove strong
temptation to perjury in practice. Tho

Of such hrosd Importance as this is dis.

wholesome legislation as will commead
itself to popular respect and not prove

A special from Huntingdon, Pa, SAYS !;
A new and ingenious swindle 10 being

stranger asks the privilege OF Temporarily

Republican papers which have always
been fond of crediting all business troubles
to tariff agitstors or some sort of political
action on the part Of their political OPP
ponents are very sensitive when tine same
sort of reasoning Is applied to them. Just
NOW the Republican party Is In complete
national control, and the tariff as
II stands now ia in accordance
with that party's ideas. II 10
therefore very dissgreeable to hsye the
facts co.ordinately announced that 2 600
men are out of work in Reading and
5000 men engaged In 'tprotected" in
dustry OF Fall River ARE on strike. We
do not believe that any Democratic paper
has said that President HArrison's cleo
ton and this state OF affairs arc neces-
Rarily cause and effect. What voters
should notice, however, il that such
things may be and are, notwithstanding
thu. Republicans now have national mat.
tiers in their own hands. If il has been
Just and reasonable for Republican
papers to credit the Democratic party
with industrial disturbances when OF no
time aimee the war have the Legislative
and executive departments Of the govern
ment been in that party's power, Il ia
much more just and reasonable to credit
the Republican party now with the Read
ins and Fall River troubles. "What is
sauce for the goose is sauce for the
sAnder," even it is annoying to the
gsnder. The GAZETTE has made it
point and will continue to make it point
to call attention to just such little things
in order to prove to American and espe.
ciaily Delaware voters, that the CAM
psign clsmor of Republicans that Demo
Gratis would destroy this country's indus
trial prosperity is all humbug, and the
fact that Republican papers repudiate
their own method of reasoning when 1t
is applied to their party, is proof of the
hypocrisy of their political arguments.

a big step in the direction of the much
needed constitutional convention for this
Slate was taken Tuesday when the bill
passed the House of Representatives and
DOW goes 10 the Senate. The point over
which there has been most dispute is the
question whether or not the vote OF 1887
was sufficient to warrant Its calling in
harmony with the present constitution of
the State. 1t Is claimed that no state
can adopt constitution so binding
that 1t shall keep all pos.erity
from altering 1t, and that the
inherent right OF the people,
must be recognized. Mr.. Lodge made
an excellent point IN insisting that tue
people are really those who have Che
right Of suffrage and exercise It. From
thia standpoint the demand for a con.
vention has been overwhelming. Ger.
tainly those who have right to vote and
don't do IL have no right to grum BILE
about what is done BY those who appre.
slate their rights ard dates as qualified

The act which DR.. L. P. Bush sert TO
the Board of Health Tuesday night seems q
most excellent one. II is entitled San
act to conTol and regulate the plumbing
business Of the city of Wilmington, I"
which would require all plumbers to pass
practical examination moving their At.
ness to be engaged in that most impor.
tapt em9loyment. The Objection that
the Board OF Health tlready has sur.
hcent power to stop nuissncss IA weak,
for the simple reason that bad plumbing
may easily result in typhoid fever or
diphtheria or may bring ont dangerous
epidemic, in which case the abatement Of
tue nuisance would be another form Of
locking the stable after the horse is out.
Too many sensible precautions cannot be
taken to preserve the public health.
