REQuIEscAT In PACE.
The infamous act known az n hill IA
equallze taxation, was after a LONG
discussion killed In the Senate tins
morning, and decently buried by
Senator Williams. The members from
New Castle county were perfectly d.
willing to allow Kent and SUSSEX
counties to have this bill apply ID
them, but no, II they could not draw
NOW Castle Into the net, they didn't
want 1t at all, and consequently they
didn't get 1t. 1t is said that it's ghost
will appear In the shape Of substi.
tute bill, but there Is no doubt that II
will DO laid by the same means that
were so efIectuelly employed by Sena.
tors Williams and Pililng to Kill the
original bill.
Tho Senators who voted against the
BILL are certainly untitled to tho thanks
OF tho people, for had It passed tho
poor mon and women who have, by
the etrlctest economy, placed a few
dollars In the savings and loan associ- =
atoms would have been the principal
sufferers by having to accept much
smaller rate of Interest than they now
receive. This would have been abso.
lutely necessary to enable these asso-
Citations TO pay the tax on mortgages
and bonds which they have purchased
with these peoples money.
ANOTHER STREET AND SEWER BILL.
When the Street and Sewer Commits
sion bill was taken up in the House
this morning 1t was found that Joseph
l.. Carpenter, Jr.. had been stricken
out and that OF j. Parke Postles sub.
stltuted.
Sometime ago. 1t Will be remember.
cd, that a bill providing for four com.
missloners was introduced In the
House and a big delegation from VIII
mlngto went down In Mr.. Carpenters
behalf. The I'LL was amended by in
sorting the name OF Peter j. Ford and
the bill made five missioner
bill.
When the bill was presented this
INV utiiS AL. DhuibDury OBJECTED. He
said that he had confidence In Enoch
Moore, the new member OF the depart
ment. He thought that as all the
commissioner but this one had been
taken out OF the hands OF the people ID
would be well to let them have this
one.
Tho new amendment provides for
only four commissioner and 1t 10 said
that Mr.. Carpenters friends. seeing
the hopalessness Of his case. concluded
10 adopt this course. The bill passed
the House, butit is hoped will be kill
ed In the Senate, and sent to join those
that have gone below. The people
OF Wilmington are satisfied to have
the commission remain as 1t is, and
the only object In wanting Mr.. POST
les In tho board Is as q representative
OF MIR. Carpenter, who 1t seems has at
last realized the fact that he 10 not
wanted by the people.
ANOTHER RAILWAY BILL.
Tho bill to charter the Gordon
Heights Electric Railway Company
2ussed the House this morning with
but little opposition. Tho company
can build line from Gordon Heights
to Shellpot.
The Bill, however. has the same
bumps in the way OF bridges fol croes-
Ing railroads that have adorned its
