A REPREsENTATIvE is quoted as saying
at Dover, "This House is tired Of Whining

says the Morning Neles, are also becoming
sick of Wilmington Legislation by the
General Assembly.
The Dela0arean says: The theory that
the Democratic party has always cOntended

people and for the people This is Demo-
cratic doctrine and doctrine the party has
maintained for a century. Indeed, this is
the true doctrine in our form of Govern
ment Wilmington should be governed as
far as possible by her own people, and the

propose to further interfere with local

But the burden is growing daily. SEN
ators and Congressman who have special
privileges abuse them more and more
constantly. To this stop will soon be
put In the midst of all this it is repre-
sented that the President shows a desire
for information, especially about public
sentiment as to his acts and appointments.
On those who talk with him at all famil-
iarly he leaves the impression that while
he expects to disappOint some with certain
appointments he nevertheless intends that
his side of all such matters shall not be
weak, and that though now and then
there will be fight, he will stand justified,
and finally be sustained by the people; he
does not say by the Democrats always, and
obviously is not acting specially for ap-
plause from that quarter, in all, or even a
majority of cases. At the end of six weeks
in the Presidency he is content both with
what he has done and what he has refused
to do. He is buOyant, except as to the
pressure from Office seekers; and they will

The people of Philadelphia are having
a hard fight to get a satisfactory law from
the Legislature in favor of elevated rail-
roads. The trouble is, says an exchange,
the people are divided in opinion as to
what they want. Ia a general way they all
want elevated railroads. but each man
qualities his approval Of the principle with
the prOvisO that the structure shall not be
built in front Of his house. Thus, while
the newspapers have been advertising
building Of roads already chartered, the
the people along the lines of these roads
have been holding big meetings to protest
against the occupation Of their streets.

taken advantage of this feeling among the
people and has used it skillfully TO prevent

Why is it a Young Mems Christian
Association?

Having Sc en- with some regret that
some of the well-wishers of the Y. M.
G. A. movement are not satisfied with
the way members are classified, and
believing that a misapprehension is at
the root of this dissatisfaction, l make
bold to offer a word of explanation.
The Y. M. G. A. is religious organ
ization. The emphatic word in its
title is the word Christian. The prin-
ciples on which it is based are precisely
those of the church, for while not
church, its objects are essentially the
same. The work it cOntemplates can,
much of it, be done only by Christian
men. Its aims can be faithfully car
ried out only by Christian men. Who.
ever, indeed, honestly will undertake
to carry out these aims IS a Christian
man. 1t is essential, therefore, that its
active force shall be composed of
Christian men. as much so as in the
church. Like the church it h as two
fold existence. One, as religious
body, composed of religious men. The
other, as a civil, incorporated body,
not limited to religious men. Each of
these bodies may be viewed as distinct
from the other and have it's own Off
GERS, though in fact they may be nearly
or quite identical.
The Y. NJ. G. A. is intended to afford
every possible advantage to all young
men, and in order to do this it must be
established on a sound basis. Such a
basis can only be found by examining
facts. 1t can only be tested by exper-
ience. AS a matter of fact, there al.
ways exist, where there is any room for
Y. M. G. A. ~ Christian young men,
able and willing to work in all necess-
ary ways for the association. (2)
Young men who wish to enjoy the ad-
vantages offered by such an institution
without assuming the duties and re-.
sponibilities of active, (Christian) mem.
bership. (9) Older men, who wish to
encourage and help the association,
while indisposed to be active in its
work. These three classes, are gen.
orally provided for in every association
and are called, active, associate and
honorary members.
1t is a matter of experience that
these facts must be recognized and
these already -eTisting classes of meU
properly provided for in every success
full association. There is no desire, a,
has been intimated, to get any mans
money while he is refused voice in
the disposal of it. The matter stands
on higher plane than that, and mus
be so considered.
Meanwhile those who, with the soc
ial, intellectual, physical and spiritua
interests of all the young men o
Smyrna at heart. are forming this asso
citation, ask that the Misunderstanding,

IN dealing with the pool room evil the
New York Legislature has found it tneces-

troversy, says the Philadelphia Record, is
not yet, as a general assault on the entire
