The Convention.

The funeral of Judge Wales in the middle
of the week which the members of the Con-
vention and the General Assembly wished
to attend interfered somewhat with the
weeks work, but the members are making
haste slowly which is right. The most i'm
portant decision of the week was the report
of the Judiciary Committee which favors
the appointment of the judges for term of
twelve years. The following are the inter
esting sections of the report:
"The judges shall be appointed by the
governor by and with the consent of three
fifths of all the members elected to the Sen
ate, for the term of twelve years, and if any
vacancy shall occur by expiration of term
or otherwise at a time when the Senate
shall not De in session the governor shall
within thirty days after the happening OF
any such vacancy convene the Senate for
the purpose of confirming his appointment
to the said vacancy and such other execu-
tive business as may come before it for ac-
tion.
Any Judge shall have the right to resign
his Office after reaching the age of 70 years
and thereafter receive the full salary at
tached to the Office ntil the end of the
term for which be was appointed, provided
that during said term and before his resig-
n alton he shall have continued in the ac-
tive discharge of his Office for at least one
half of said term"

hearing the first of the week, some of their

dress before the convention.

he Legislature.

The chronic complaint against the Cen
eral Assembly for doing SO little The first
five or six weeks of the session is bi-en-
nial one, and is usually unreasonable. Per-
sons having matters of legislation to at
tend to neglect to get them ready until the
session is we'll under way. As an example
there is the commission appointed two
years ago for new charter for Whining
ton not yet ready to report.
The General Assembly has accomplished
little this week. Divorce and private busi-
ness has taken up the time, the Divorce
Committee sitting five hours last Monday.
This is their duty so long as the people
have the constitutional right to go to the
Legislature to unbind their wearying
bonds.
= There is some viscious political legisla-
tion brewing, the commissions for Kent
and Sussex counties to replace the Levy
Court because they are Republican, and
even desire on the part of certain polite
ians to prevent the adoption of new con-
stitution, 1t has developed that the New
Castle Levy Courts is $4,000 in debt. with
credit at the bank shut of. hence the bill
authorizing the borro wing $4,000.

Church Dissertation.

Just when church officials should take
notice Of the little irregularities on the part
of attendants whom it is the chief desire of
the church to influence for good, is mat
ter often considered by officials. The irreg-
ularities left uncorreCted, however, usually
grow, and license allowed for the object
of benefitting and influencing the most
thoughtess is often abused. Such is the
opinion of the officials of the M. E. Church
here and they are of the opinion that for
bearance in certain matters which is the
aggregate are annoying, has ceased to be
virtue. They intend to give the warning of
"a word to the wise" and haye adopted the
following:
To WHOM IT MAY CoNcERE:-The trus-
tees of Bethesda M. E. Church have OBJ
served with great pain and modification
that some boys and young men have been
guilty of misconduct and acts of mis-
demeanor in and about the church and
premises which are disturbing to the wor-
ship and in direct violation of the law Of
the State of Delaware. Therefore in all
kindness and candor the Board of Trustees
gives public notice that all persons found
lettering about the doors of the church
smoking, expeetorating on the pavement
striking matches on the walls of the build
ing, marking the walls, or otherwise defac-
ing said walls. or doing anything indica-
ting irreverence or calculated to disturb
those worshiping shall be dealt with sum
marily according to law, irrespective of
persons. By order of
The BOARD OF TRUSTEES,
