Law Committee on the ordinance for the
appointment of auditors clerk The
committee also reported on the petition
OF the trustees of Harrison Nj. K.
Church. asking permission for the cree
tion OF q temporary frame building at
Seventh and Harrison streets The com
mittee recommended that the petition be
granted, provided the building was re-
moved within year
AT this point some extraordinary hal
lucination seemed to seize Mr.. Ha wilkins,
and he rose to oppose the ordinance re-
speeding the office of auditors clerk, al
leging that Council was about 70 extend
the clerks term az well as increase his
salary, while their own race was nearly
run He was reminded that his remarks
were irrevelant and the member for the
Seventh ward suddenly collapsed.

in private departments were paid no

that of any city official and yet he was
paid less.
Mr.. Baugh did not see why, If clerks

ExreNpEp coAr-rAILIsM.

The plaintivs distress Of the Morning
News at what 1t deems an official dis
courtesy" of Representative Hutson to
Representative Smith, is touching. II
there is anything a Republican politician
delights in 1t Is a snub.
The fashion Of receiving an imaginary
snub is an old one which sensible men
have allowed to sink into ipnocuous
dlssuetude till It was revived by Fire
Alarm Foraker. That gentleman Of Ohio
had the proverbially long eost-tails on
which some one was forever stepping,
No mans foot could move In the direc-
tion Of this alert and expectant receiver
Of snubs and insults without causing
immediate and loud alarms. which
stirred the deepest emotions of the Re
publican party.
Mr., Foraker was 50 successful in the
role Of injured innocence that the great
Blaine, the man who has given us this
magnificent administration, took it up
and was working It against Lord Sails
bury. till Rudini popped up and claimed
his attention.
Now we are surprised that sensible
man like Representative Smith has fallen
into that mistaken practice Of hunting
around for az insult where none was in
intended and none was given.
The News is Of short memory, for a
month or so ago only 1t was prsising the
conduct Of the Mckinley committee
which did not allow the Democrats
even a surrsptitious squirt at their
precious scheme Of monumental stealing
till it was on its passage, and then al
lowed them no debate and no opportunity
for amendment.
Representative Hutson saw what Rep
resentAtivs Higgins did with the P, w
& B railway matter, and as he wished
the Five Commissioners bill to have i'm
mediate and favorable consideration h,
did not subject Representative Smith t,
the temptation of following the lead o.
the great Higgins No. 2
II the News and Mr.. Smith can max,
any cheap capital out Of an insult tha
was not given, they are welcome
to 1t. Like the Tories who wishel
to report Patrick Henry's patriot,
speech to a crazy king, 'if that be trea
son, make the most Of IL"
We wsuld recommend Repressntativ,
Smith to clip his coat tails and reques
the News to recall some Of the parlis
meniary proceedings of the Fifty nrs
Congress, that paragon of fairness, JUS

The SEQ No VICTORY.
WILMINGTON Defeats Camden without
Dimcuity-Heavy Hating but Poor
Fielding

Wilmington Defeats Camden without
Dimcuity-Hcavy Hating but Poor
Fielding.
The second base ball game of the sea-
son was played at the Rivervieu grounds
yesterday, and was another decided
success for Wilmington. The Camden,
New Jersey, Club, which has not
been defeated by anY other club this
season, was its opponent The game
opened with Burris IN the box for Will
mington, and the visitors could not find
his curves, they making but two singles
until the fifth inning, when the little
Sussex twirler retired, because OF a sore
hand. Hawke succeeded him, and
although he pitched good game, be was
not so effective.
The game was not an exciting one
Although the Wilmington players fielded
listlessly and made many inexcusable
errors, they made 1t up when they came
to bat as nearly every inning was a big
smuggling match. Newell knocked the
leather against the centre field fence in
the fifth inning and, by his quick run
ming, reached home Just ahead Of the
ball Whitelock pounded the ball into
right field and got three bases, and
Fisher raped into left for two bases
Wilmington did some fine base run.
ming and by means of this piled up six
runs in the first inning. obtaining lead
which the visitors were powerless to
overcome. In the fifth inning Sheldon,
p and Moore, l. T., changed places on
the Camden club and the batting was
not 80 heavy after that.
The Camden team settled down to
good playing and piled up eight runs in
the last three innings, making the score
look little better. The Wilmington
club, with John Corcoran as manager
and captain, will go to Reading. Pa, to-
morrow and meet the crack club of that
place 1t will be the first game away
from home, and as Wilmington's
banner Is spotless, the result will be
watchsd with much interest. The score

system, nor the administration of it has

The district system is necessarily weak.

known as the township system. but what
might here be called the hundred system
would greatly simplify our present
school machinery, and also more nearly
fqualize the burden OF taxation, while
1t would at the same time improve
the school of every community In

statistics compiled from school reports.
The way in which the system is carried
on Is generally commended He inveighs
against the re-intr 'duction of already
discarded text books, and propounds
remedies which he thinks would prove
effective for their successful abolition
Delaware College, he says, has taken
rapid strides, and is now fully prepared
to offer facilities equal to those of any
other college in the country. Delaware
has a surplus of $50, 900 school money, to
which $50. 600 will be added by the new
