The Com a,issioner " ants TO wipe Up
the Street with the Rep .oster
Yesterday afternoon session of the
Levy Court was the most eYentful and
exciting one that has been known for
years. The Democr asic minority suffered
q knockout after furnishing the Big six
severely; pandem onium reigned supreme
for the time bell JgS Assessor Hance SAT on
the stool Of J spentance and heard his
title read by De Democratic members one
minute and was lauded to the skies by
Republic an ex 1nerstion the next;
Deputy Gle rk Eliason greR hot and cold
by turns when he found that Assessor
Hance b ed tempered withs the books OF
New Or .stle hundred more than was gen.
orally known; Janitor Levy was called
down. by the Republican members, be-
eau % he could not be in more than one
pie ce at once Reporter Jones Of the
Z gerry Evening oftieiously informed
Commissioner Hutchinson of Apo
quinimink hundred that he was
non compos mentis and Commissioner
Hutchinson told His Royal freshness that
If he would step outside the Court
House he would wipe up the Belgian
blocks Of Market street with feathers
from the tail CT the English sparrow
Verify, it was an afternoon filed with
surprises.
THE CAR or APPOINTMENTS.
Mr. Hutchinson. showed himself tosbe an
admirer of Gar Rsed's tactics he was
for Republican progression; Hutchison
succession. aud Democratic suppression,
to say nothing of his policy of reportorial
'wipabion" in the case Of Mr.. Jones from
England.
Mr.. Hutchison showed himself to be
the most disol derly-orderly member Of
the Levy Court dc created disorder
even while calling for order, and he evi
IDENTIFY speaks twice before he thinks
once. He says twice as much as he
means. and feels that he has to do some
thing to earn his per diem aud mileage His
ADpcqulnimink hundred constituency
must know that he is always In Whining
ton when be is supposed to be here, and
his voice must be heard echoing through
the corridors Of the Court House There
is one redeeming feature about his actions
aud that is that he is actuated BY con
Il scientious motive. He believes he is
right, and that is all there is about 1t.
When two such natures as Mr.. Hutchi-
son and His Royal Freshness Jones clash
there Is apt to be trouble but not of q
serious nature. They are both gas mag
mates and if God had not given them
4 mouths there might be danger This
divine foresight, however. obviates 81
threatened catastrophies. Suffice to say,
4 Commissioner Hutcbison had much pro
& vocation for his attack upon His Roya
Freshness Jones; still he should have
stopped there and not included In his at

WHAT LED TO THE ATTACK
The circumstances leading to the a
tack were the debates attending the r
