MERE MATTER OF LEGISLATION,

MERE MATTER OF LEGfSLATlON.
The Morning News Is congratulaing
itself and the Republican party upon
the assumption that the appointment OF
Hon. William c. Spruance as resident
Judge for New Castle county has placed
in his hands powers which might, If
he saw At. be used TO the advantage Of
che Republican party and to the disad-
vantage Of the Democratic parry. We
think that our contemporary shouts be-
fore it is out OF the woods.
During the long illness OF Judge
Grubb three years ago, and at the al
most fatal crisis OF it, there was about
a month in which nothing could be
done. Everything which devolved upon
him rested. and the fact that no other
Judge could perform his functions dur
ing his disability worked hardship
upon the people No commissions conld
be appointed; licenses could not be
transferred or fractional licenses grant
ed. In fact, the residential branch Of
the courts Of New Castle county was at
a complete standstin.
The Legislature at It's next session
remedied this defect in part, but II did
not go far enough. AS soon as the pres
ent General Assembly reconvenes II
should pass a law giving the chief JUS
tice or any associate the right to per-
form any of the duties of the resident
Judge. This would be more democratic
and much more satisfactory to the peo-
pie and would relieve the resident
Judge of much responsibility which is
not desirable and often onerous.
In regard to the contention that
Judge Spruance Will appoint the Po-
lice Commissioners for the city of Will
mington, because the Democrats, not
having two-thirds majority in the
State Senate cannot alter the present
law, It is simply necessary to say that
in this state, as well as in many others,
it has been held by the courts that the
police are the agents and servants OF
the state. 1t was so decided by the
Court of Errors and Appeals in the
case OF Vandegrift vs.. the Mayor and
Council of Wilmington. In other words
the city officers are more than muni
cipal officers, and therefore the state
can control and regulate the Board Of
Police Commissioners of Wilmington
Just as It can the county constables
who are also public peace officers oi
the state. by vcte of a mere majority oi
the Legislature. The Morning News i.
arguing that ii takes a two-thirds vote
Matters that are purely municipal ant
affecting a municipal corporation woulC
require twolthirds vote, but the po

GERS Therefore, the Democratic ma
jority of the State Senate will see to i
that Judge Spruance does not appoin
Republican Police Commissioners.

CONTEMPORARY OPINION.
A YEAR FOR FOREST GRAPHING.

"A YEAR FOR FOREST GRABBING.
President Cleveland's attempt to pre-
serve some of the forests of the West
ern country from the timber chopper
who would strip the whole land without
regard to consequences of any kind has
been thwarted by the Congress, and
President Mckinley has been relieved
from the unpleasant necessity OF doing
anything in the matter except to sign
the Sundry Civil Appropriation bill.
The proclamation of President Cleve-
land set apart lands in Wyoming, Utah,
Montana Washington, idaho and
South Dakota as forest reservations
upon the recommendation of a forestry
commission OF men of the highest abil-
ity and strictest integrity.
Under the agreement reached be-
tween the House and the Senate, in
that most powerful of parliamentary
combinations, the Conference Commit
tee, the proclamation issued by Mr.
Cleveland on February %. 1897, is SET
aside. The lands proposed by him to
be reserved as to their forests. the re-
tention of which is declared by the For

OUR BUSINESS INTERESTS FIRST

The return of Mr. Calhoun from Cuba
renews in a very lively degree interest
in, and speculation about, the impress
sion his report is likely to make on the
president. How soon may the president
be expected to act2 And what line will
he take? And what will Congress do
in the premises?
So far as Congress is concerned the
one overshadoWing question there is
the tariff IL was called together for
the express purpose of tariff legisla-
ton, and that should not, and presum-
ably will not, fer a moment be lost
sight OF. The business interests Of the
whole country are in a state of anxious
suspense, and may not be expected to
push on again with anything like con-
fdence or success until a new tariff law
goes into operation. The outlook for
this is now most promising. The Sen
ate is making coed headway with the
Dingley BILL and the hope is of early
| agreement in conference. Congress will
then have discharged its first and most
| important duty, which is, of course, its
duty to this country. With that done,
il can then decide as to other matters.
Meanwhile The president will have
opportunity to avail himself of all
sources of information about Cuba, In
addition TO the source of his special
commissioner. He has shown himself
so far to be a friend OF Cuba. What he
will hear from Mr.. Calhoun is fairly
| well known. Mr.. Calhoun will con

about 200 feet south of the bridge. The
lights were all right, signaling that the
draw was closed and he started up
again. In a minute he saw through
the darkness that the bridge was open,
and made desperate efforts to stop the
train. 1t was too late, however, and
the engine plunged into the open draw,
dragging with it the first car The ac-
cident, according to James Harring-
ton, the bridge tender was due entire
ly to the arrangement Of the lights on
the bridge. large hexagon light is
used one-half the lights being red, one
half white. Harrington said that he
had opened the bridge for the passage
of vessel and was just swinging the
draw shut when the train came on.
He claimed that the engineer caught
an oblique glance at the light instead
of a full look at it's face, and said
that, in either case, the light would
fly from the tracks on which the engine
was coming and show white. He easily
proved his case by swinging the bridge
into the position 1T occupied when the
train ran over the edge and the accident
seems to have been caused entirely
by the light The tracks are not more
than four feet above the surface of the
water, and the fall was not great.
About fifteen people, including the
trainmen, were carried into the water,
but all were rescued without difficulty.
