THIRD EDITION.
THE LAW MAKERS AGAIN.

"Wednesday the Lost Day For ReceIv-
y ing Now Business-It IL Said That
Several Pnrti-an Bills VIII be Push
- VhronGh.
Qorrcspondence OF the Republican.
Down. March 12, 1898. Although
Doth houses OF tho General Assembly
adjourned to meet again tomorrow,
Il is safe to predict that no business
Will lie done until Tuesday, as 1t is
scarcely probable that many of the
members will he present Wednesday
ID fized ms the last day for receiving
new business. but it is possible the
Fine may be extended, to accommo-
hate some OF the dilatory ones, who
have not as yet got their bills in shape.
1t Is predicted that Notwithstanding
the protest OF the City Council of
Wilmingt0n against the passage of
she several partisan bills that have
been presented. they will be pushed
Nhrough with all their obnoxious fea-
lures before the close OF the session.
Among these bills Is the new Police
commission bill. which GUSTS the
Mayor from being member: the
Street and Sewer Commission bill, and
> number Of others, taking the right
"a self-government away from the peo-
ID.
The power behind the scenes which
caused the passage of the special con.
btables' bill. will now work harder
khan ever to secure their ends and
place the people entirely under their
bontrol.
THE TRAMP LAW.
The bill to repeal the act known rs
Me Ball Tramp Law will be taken up
IN the Senate this week, and 1t Is hoped
will be defeated. This law, which com
pels tramps and buns to break stone.
has done more to rid this State. and
Especially the city OF Wilmington, Of
Ramps than any other law that was
bter enacted.
It may cost the county more money
\ 20 break the stone In this way than IL
- worth, but IL is n question If this is
q not more than offset by the diminished
plumber tbs county would have to
+ iced and care for In idleness, II this
hw was not In force. The greatest
punishment that can be imposed on "a
ramp Is TO make him work. Before
ibis law was passed it was no uncom.
non matter for from dozen to twen'
~ tramps to be counted in Whining.

put since they have learned that their
Pqnishment iIeiuuod hard work, they
Aave become We're sc-rce.
THET MARKET LAW.
1t is stated on good authority that
the persons who tried some time ago,
4 With Colonel Martin OF Sussex rs their
tttorney, to have an obnoxious market
Jaw enacted FOR the city of Whining
yon. have not abandoned the attempt,
but will endeavor to have the matter
Voted upon before tho close oil the
nSssion. Some of the commission
men of Wilmington. whose names
an and will give II necessary nre de.
terminsd tp have bill OF some kind
ptssed excluding the Jersey truckers
from offering their produce for sale in
Wilmington.
There are now two mammoth netl-
! 06ns In the han DIS OF members against
Nc passage of any Oill that will inter
g9fs with the markets OF Wilmington
10 any way, and l am assured that
there ere more to follow, If any at,
tempt should he made to resdrrect
this bill.
The Sllverbrook matter and the
eiootrlc car business will both be tax
5n up this week, and there ia no doubt
i npt IL will prove one oil the most OK
oltiDg or the entire session.
