Lawyer for the House.

The suggestions made by Secretary Of
State Marvel, that the New Revised Code
could be very much shortened by merg-
ing the many laws relating TO oysters,
fish, game, schools and strays into one
act under each class have already born
fruit.
In the House this morning Mr. Cooch
offered resolution instructiug the
committee on claims to employ an at
iorney for the House. The resolution
was adopted
1t is the intention Of the trainers OF
the resolution TO employ some capable
lawyer to do all the work required by the
House and to know beforehand lust
what he is going to charge for it. Many
petitions are sent 70 the Legislature
without bills accompanying them and
the members have neither the time mol
the inclination to draw the necessary
bills
The attorney appointed under this act
will do all such work, and In the words
Of one Of the members lit will prevent
extortion The committee has secured
the services Of Victor B. Woolley, tn,
rising young lawyer of Wilmington.

The New Police Commission.
The Police Commission bill for the city
of Wilmington is here. but in such shape
that il has struck a snag and will not be
introduced unless there are radical modi-
fications made in it.
The bill as it stands provides for the
appointment of three commissioners by
the governor. Their terms will be two,
four and six years, respectively. As fast
as the terms expire the judge Of the
Municipal Court appoints their success
sors. The mayor is dropped from the
commission.
Another feature Of the bill is that the
chief of police is relieved of the duties of
clerk of the commission and provision is
made for the appointment Of a clerk in

The nm Was Vague.


There is a very good joke on one Of
the leading lawyers Of the New Castle
bar going the rounds in the State
House. IL is in connection with one Of
the electric railway bills of which notice
has already been given.
When the project was first spoken Of
parties IN Wilmington went TO the pro
iectors and offered TO sell them an old
charter The matter was considered fer
some time and the would be railway
magnates deputed one of their number
to get legal advice upon the scope of the
old charter aud TO see whether its gen.
eral railroad provisions could be dis
tOrted in such manner as TO admit of
their application 70 an electric street

The man took the charter and called
upon one Of the leading lawyers Of Will

of the new corporation, be said.
81 have brought an old charter with
me, which, If applicable, we can get for n
reasonable sum. would like YOU TO look
over Il and see what you think Of it.
The lawyer took the instrument in his
hand, perused IL carefully aud handed it
back with a shrug of the shoulders.
''Wellg'
"Well, SAID the lawyer, "the charter
is worthless for the purpose for which
you design to use IT, Furthermore. il is

End unsatisfactory. The man who drew
il did not know what he was about"
The would be magnate left. He
called upon the Wilmington men who
wanted to unload their old charter.

'Not much. After considering the

While theories are rife as to the cause or
causes which brought about the destruction OF
the British battle ship Victoria and the loss of
four hundred and fifty lives, no authentic in
formation is as vet available. Itwas a horrible,
heartrending catastrophe. that desolated many a
previously happy home. The pain is more
keen because the sacrifice was unnecessary.
Had the nearly five hundred lives been laid on
the nations altar, had gone out in support Of a
great principle or patriotic belief. there
would be something like compensation for their
dissolution, but when it is remembered
that the monster warship went down because
somebody was careless or mechanism was
faulty the calamity has frightful proportions.
1t is stated that for fifteen minutes after the
Camperdown's ram penetrated the victoria's
arnor the doomed ship foated, and now every
one is asking why in all that time only some two
hundred and fifty of the officers and crew es-
capped. Is all effort on q man-of-war bent
toward the destruction of life and none toward
its salvation in certain emergencies? Naval
constructors agree that there is no armor that
will afford protection against the ram, and with
that fact established it would seem to be well to
make boat drill one Of the most prominent
features Of work on board all warships.

now under discussion in the public press none
are quite so interesting as the South Carolina

proposition tina: commences to operate on Sat-
urday next. Up to this time the law has made
but few staunch friends. although there are
many who will stand By it if in practice it
works as well a. the theory would indicate it
should. Failing to discover any inherent weak
ness in the measure some OF the critics intimate
that the selling Of liquor is an undignified occu-
patton for sovereign state to engage in
Surely this canros be So The state is merely
an aggregation of individuals, and if it is
proper and respectable and legalfor individuals
to sell intoxicants there cannot possibly be any
improperly in sale BY the state.

Secretary ,. Sterling Morton is in the habit

Secretary j. Sterling Morton is in the habit
Of talking in a firm. common-sense way about
public matters. In the interview with him
published exclusively in The STAB yesterday,
he gets right at the meat Of the money ques-
ton in politics. His manner Of discussing the
question il earnest and direct. His statements
ars carefully considered and vigorously
pressed He sees the danger to the public in
forest which comes from the cowardice and
dernagogy of men who fear to attack faIla-
cies and political heresies which have gained a
temporary popularity, and he discusses the
money question with fearlessness and frankness
for the farmer and the fnaneier alike. When
the political agitators, whom he refers to as
~disgraced demagogues who have been dis
charged from the old parties" first
started the vanderings Of wild ideas among
the discontinued farmers of the west
Mr.. Morton almost the only prominent
democratic leader in the disaffected regions
wEo stood out boldly and combated the false
doctrines which were being readily adopted
by those about him. He has been in the thick
Of the fight from the start, and has watched
the populist movement through the various
stages Of its progress, and his statement that
the party is disintegrating is Of great interest
and must be encouraging to the champions Of
sound money and conservative politics. He is
. member of President Cleveland's ''offciai
family and he was an earnest advocate of Mr..
Cleveland's nomination, because Cleveland
stood most prominently among the democratic
chiefs as opposed to the heresies which threat
ened to disrupt the party. He undoubtedly
speaks the mind Of every member Of the
Cleveland administration when he says that the
nomination and election of Mr.. Cleveland
committed the democratic party to the con-
demnatiou of laws placing artificial prices upon
commodities, whether of wool or metal, tin or
silver, and to the declaration that the govern
ment should not be forced to be buyer or a
free coiner Of silver, and that sound financial
politics should be inforced, with a relatively
nnfuctaating standard Of value. This Is the
popular idea Of what the triumph of the Cleve-
land wing Of the democratic party means.
Secretary Morton puts the silver question
down a. o business proposition and in a way to
appeal to the sllers Of the soil when he presents
these facts:
'srhe Granite Mountain Mining Company |
produced refined silver in the year 1887, or |
1888, according to its report to Secretary OF |
Treasury, to the amount Of nearly 5000, 900 OF
ounces at a cost for refined silver Of IL cents an
$50 500 Coined at 41215 grains to the dollar it !
would make over $1,000. 900 of legal tender for |
over IS 600 900 bushels Of wheat the labor |
cost Of which is more than $500. 900. That is, |
by free coinage, under law, S36S00 OF mine |
labor is made and forced to an equality with |
e3. coo, 200 of farm labor cost By law this free
coined silver will when it represents only |
CSC 500 Of mine labor IN Montana, be made ex- |
chsngeable for $1,000 900 farm labor in Ne |
brsska"
