EDUCATE THE PEOPLE.

A bill is always better off in the
hands of its friends, and for this rea-
son we believe that the refer
ence of the new charter for the
city of Wilmington back to the hands
OF the Municipal Commission was wise
Senator Pyle had become convinced
that 1t would be impossible to secure its
passage at this session by reason of OPP
position which had sprung up in unex-
pected quarters, and which had secured
the votes Of men who had no direct in
terest in the matter OF the municipal
control of Wilmington. Rather than
hold it in committee for two years, he
preferred to return 1t to its makers that
they might have ample opportunity to
make any proper ramendmentswhi the
fight at Dover had suggested to them.
We have already expressed ourselves
concerning this bill. We believe that
its passage would have been beneficial
to our city. We are confident that its
defeat Is due to the antagonism of GER
tain corporations and municipal de-
UdIlutHlh Idluti ludn ~ liit diAAo6oh-
ism Of the people A good thing never
loses its virtue. and the new charter
will gather strength with the lapse of
time During the next two years, If the
question is properly handled by its
friends, the bill will gain many advo-
Gates. Men who hesitated to endorse
on such short notice a new thing in
volving such large interests will have
time to study the question as the NUM-
cipal Commission has done, and we
have no doubt that they will arrive at
the same conclusion. Our advice to the
Municipal Commission Is to have the
bill printed in its amended form and
distributed broadcast over the city. Let
1t become part OF the literature of every
home, and It will find a friend in every
home.
The Municipal Commission has done
It's full duty in the matter or drawing
the bill after a most exhaustive study
OF a question almost as broad as the
universe II must now convince the
people at large that its conclusions re
garding the needs OF this city are well
grounded.

FRAUGHT WITH DANGER.

Last Fall a great many Democrats
supported Mr.. Mckinley, directly or
indirectly, from patriotic motives, sup
posing that it was to the best interest
of the country that he should be
elected, and that the promising" pO-
litical party of which he is the head
should be placed in power Such
Democrats are now regretting their er-
ror. If the election were to be held to-
morrow, there can be little doubt that
Mr.. Bryan would be successful. His
election last Fall would have been fol-
lowed by a financial panic, which
would have been far reaching in It's
effects. But the country would have
gradually adjusted itself to Unchanged
conditions. In the light of develop
ments since the election, the people arc
beginning to think that they would
prefer to have the Chicago platform
screws put on, and stand the conse
quences for a few months, with the as
surance Of survival and revival, rather
than be saddled with the iniquitiel
crowded into the Dingley tariff bill.
That bill, as right-minded, patriots
men forsee and declare, is pregnant o
future hardships and disasters. It is
tariff to make the rich richer and tn
POOR poorer. IL is indefensible in equit,
and justice. 1t is fraught with grav
danger to the country. II may engen
der a political upheaval involving de
tails infinitely more radical than wer
| those which were so much dreaded las

We understand that the General AS
sembly proposes to take a recess until
next October. Why not make it the
first of November or the first of jan
uary? October is a very busy month
with many persons. and when the mem
bers of the Assembly go to Dover to
fms up the work which it is now inn
poss > for them to do, by reason of the
continued sitting of the Constitutional
Convention, they ought to be in a posi-
tion to ~emain until that work is COM
pieted. Not for many years has the
state treasury been subjected to such a
drain by reason Of legislative work
The present session has extended be-
yond the usual limit, and the session
next Fall should be made as short and
effective as possible.

ALL ABOUT THIRTEEN HOGS.

SEIZED BY THE SHERIFF, RE-
PLEVINED BY CORONER AND
BROUGHT INTO THE SUPERIOR
COURT
Thirteen hogs figured conspicuously
in Superior Court this morning. A jury
was drawn to try the suit on replevin
Of George II. Swain against Mary A.
Pierce, late Of Pierce & Simpler, and
Paul Gillis, sheriff.
William Michael Byrne and Josiah
Marvel represented Mr.. Swain, who is
farmer near st. Georges. T. Bayard
Heisel appeared for the Pierce & Simpler
survivors and the sheriff.
Mr.. Swain swore that after Pierce
& Simpler failed at St Georges the
sheriff visited his farm and seized the
hogs in question, which he had bought
from Pierce & Simpler and paid $75 for.
The sheriff undertook to apply writs
against Pierce q Simpler to this prop
erty, and Swain had to get them back
through the coroner by replevin.
Defence tried to show that Swain had
driven the hogs away at midnight al
ter the failure of Pierce & Simpler and
disposed of them to Joseph II. King, of
New Castle. The hogs were kept in a
large stock pen of Pierce & Simpler
on George II. SWANS place.
In Francis J. Meredith, d. b. a..
against Andrew J. Travis, the court
ruled that the verbal order was INSULT
cient, whereupon Counsel Lilburn
Chandler dropped the case and iudg-
ment was rendered against Travis.
