THERE is urgent need that the powers
Of the governor should be changed
That Office is an anomaly. Its powers are
too great In respect to Its absolute ire
sponsibility in the appointment Of officers
and judges, and too limited in respect to
to It's Influence on legislation The gsv
ernor may appoint ali officers without the
advice or consent Of anybody. The
President Of the United States may not
do that, and such unrestricted power
is not In the hands Of the governor Of
any other state In the Union. II has
been found very useful too, In other
states to place the veto power in the
Office OF the governor In order that he
may have at least negative influence
on the acts Of the Legislature. That is
wholesome check on hAsty and often
unwise legislation, and sometimes pre-
vents or annuls corrupt legislation
II is power that has seldom.
IL ever, been abused. It Is not
dangerous, but corrective; 1t adds bal
ance wheel to legislation; it does not
stop or prevent legislation, but affords
the Legislators and the people whom thu
legislators represent. time to think.
after which, ~ they desire the passage OF
any particular measure, they may recon
slider and pass it over the veto That
anomaly alone In the excessive appoint
ing powers and the limited legislative
powers Of the governor is sufficient to
warrant the call Of constitutional con
vention.

that sort Of convincing confidence and

thoroughly and who entertain the
highest esteem for each other. They

JOHN WANAMAKER,

In his pleasant and forcible speech last
night. Senator Gray commented on the
enarehism which gives us the unequal
and absurd representation Of the same
number Of representatives for each Of
the three counties In the General Assem-
bly, New Castle county. with almost
100 900 people and paying two thirds Of
the whole state tax. has only ten repre-
sentstiyes, while the two lower eoun
ties, Kent with 1000 people and
Sussex with $4,000, together only
a few thousand over half the
population Of New Castle county
have double the number of repre-
sentatives. According to population and
tho amount Of taxes paid. the people Of
New Castle county, exclusive Of the city
Of Wilmington, deserve as many repre-
sentatives as either Of the other two
counties The population exceeds that
Of Kent county several thousands
and Is only few hundreds less that Of
Sussex. The population Of Wilmington
alone, 6l,o00, Is only 10. 900 less than
the population Of Kent and Sussex com
bined, 7l,O00 Thus the division Of
representation, which was scarcely fair
sixty years ago,is an absurd anachronism
for Delaware as q state and gross in
justice TO this city and county now. As
Mr.. Gray said, this absurdity and injus-
tlce alone is sufficient to warrant re-
vision Of the constitution.

The curious and inexplieAble defect IN
the constitution which makes II possible
for plaintiff in a suit to recover $40 70
appeal from lawyer to higher court
while man defending his liberty, or his
life, has no appeal whatever, was the
salient point for some just and tsrse
condemnation from Mr.. Lore in his
speech last night. II is possible that
aixty-one years ago the lives and
liberties Of the citizens Of this common I
wealth we're in less danger than now or
practically In NO danger whatever; but
that is not the case now. At least the
inconsistency Of having the privilege Of
appeal where $40 is involved, and not
having an equal If net an infinitely
greater safeguard for the protection Of
personal liberty and for human life
should be corrected. That alone is
sufficient reason for calling convention
for the revision of the constitution
