Tim Healy, the Irish NJ. p, has q
brother who is a very clever barrister.
He has written q book ON the revision
i, Of the voting lists which is the standard
authority with English jurists. In con-
nection VITA that book funny Incl

Belfast.
The home rulers Of that city had
wired to the London headquarters for
an able lawyer to fight their battle, as
they considered the local talent rather
light for such heavy legal contest.
They received a reply granting their re-
quest.
The court opened, and the barristez
fer the Urionist party, q clever lawyer

hnustive argument why the names Of
certain individuals should not be re.

wringing their hands i'll despair, for the
man from London had not appeared-a;
least no one had seen him.
As Young continued, rendering quo.
tation after quotation in support Of his
assertions, the poor Nationalist became
frantic. Suddenly there was lull in

young man had arisen to his feet to ash

The boiling delegates from Delaware
have finally decided to so to ST. Louis
and contest the seating Of the Addiclss
delegates. They have secured from
some of the Addicks delegates to the
recent State convention alildavlts that
they wero brlbed by Addicks money to
stand by the new boss Of the Delaware
Republicans. In this move they have
probably made mistake. Their posi-
two instructions for Mckinley make a
strong card of themselves, but when
they begin to make charges OF bribery,
particularly in connection with negro
delegates, they are treading sharply on
the toes OF the Mckinley managers.
The choice of quite number Of Nc
Kinley delegates is ascribed to the iu-
dicious use of money.

Abiding to the complacent assurance
Of the Republicans that they will elect
the next President of this country, the
Boston Herald says; cit is of the
highest Importance TO them what kind
OF President they are to elect. They
need u man of the fret iirmnoss of
character Of thoroughly fixed princi-
pies, Of reliable administrative ability.
II they do not obtain such man, they
are sure to suffer in the end under his
administration. No administration has
over succeeded with President who
was deficient in these qualities, and it
is apparent TO tho most ordinary oh
server that there has seldom been a
period in the history of our country
more likely to test them than that we
are now approaching. Here is the
Presidential question for that party in

preston, if it is TO be considered that
there is any connection between his
lecture on bimetallism and tho action

gold standard, it also endorsed Mcliin-

that the ordinance authorizing loan

SCISSOR, in foe simple, Of the bulk OF the
real estate now comprised in the
Brandywine Park grounds was finally
passed by the City Council. 1t was a
notable occasion. There was great OPP
position to the passage Of tho ordi-
nance, some of II of an underhand and
almost disreputable character How
ever, there were enough members OF
Council who possessed sufficient cour-
age to face the opposition and good,
hard, common sense to comprehend
that the city's ownership of the
Brandywins Park grounds was mat
ter that could be no longer delayed, to
pass the ordinance, and thus make the
matter of the city's park grounds
secure.
Subsequent events amply justified
the wisdom and good sense of those
members of City Council who so voted.
The city now owns park grounds of
ample dimensions and rich in the
beauties OF natural scenery. Had
they not been bought at that timc,
they would have had to be purchased
later, at largely increased expondi.

have had these grounds two score or
more of years earlier, at much less
figure than was agreed upon at the
final purchase. But narrow. minded
views then prevailed and the golden
opportunity was lost. That il was not
finally and absolutely rejected is due
10 tho sound common sense of those
members of City Council who, Just one
decade ago, voted to reserve forever for
the people of Wilmington the park
grounds which they now hold as their
personal pos ess m, and in which
they have 80 n uil solid, practical en-
ioyment.

Moving for "A NON partisan Convention.
The Democratic executive com
mitteo Of New Castle county at its
meeting for organization Thursday,
very properly adopted resolution APP
proving the recommendation Of the
General Assembly that the Constitu-
tional Convention to be held next
winter be divided in membership
equally between the two Loading politi
cal parties. This resolution was directed
to DO sent to tho Republican county
committee, with request that 1t be
favorubly considered, and referred to a
subcommittee for the purpose Of
making the necessary arrangements
for a non partifan ticket.
1t is matter of regret that thus far
Republican sentiment in New Castle
county seems opposed 10 non partisan
convention. Tie disposition is to in
sist upon the nomination of a full
partisan ticket aud take the chances
of its election or defeat, rather than
unite upon a ticket composed of five
Republicans and five Democrats. and
supporting it unanimously at the polls.
1t would be we'll il the plan adopted
by the people LOT Sussex county were
followed here. They have ordered a
county convention, composed of two
Democrats and two Republicans from
each hundred. This convention will
nominate full Constitutional Con-
vention ticket, composed of an equal
number of Republicansl and Demo
Gratis, and submit it to, the county
conventions of the two parties, for
ratification. The feeling now is that
the. county conventions will heartily
endorse the selections submitted tc
them.
Should the voters of Kentand New
Castle counties adopt this sentible and
practical course, non. partisan Con
stitutional Convention would bt

their power to keep the contention
out of political control, and the,
should do so.
