The scheme of proviaing for tax
collector in each hundred OF New Castle
county outside OF Wilmington, With
two poll tax collectors for this city,
was rushed through the Legislature on
the last day of it's session, and Mon
day the Levy Court OF New Castle
county rushed through the appointment
of the collectors. II is a question il
the mere matter of political expediency
would not have been better served by
postponing this action until after the
CITY election. but the Levy Court. ap-
parently. could not wait even week.
As matter OF fact, the appointments
were made on the very first day pos.
'sible, as the bill was only passed just
before tho final adjournment of the
Legislature on Saturday.
The change restricts the receiver OF
taxes and county treasurer TO the col
lection of property taxes in Wilmington
alone. and returns to the old, cumber.
some and unsatisfactory systein of a
collector for each hundred. as far as the
rest of the county is concerned. The
collectors also are required to settle
only annually, in May, and this is
complete restoration of the vicious
custom Of allowing the collectors to
retain money that the county is suffer.
ing for, with the same danger of taxes
occasionally going into the jack .pot,''
instead OF finding their way into the
county treasury However the dned
is done, and the county will have to
stand it for awhile, with only the COM
pensation OF a faint hope that there
may be some redeeming trait in the
change, at present unknown, which
may prove benefit instead of detri,
ment.
AS far as the two Wilmington poll
tax collectors are concerned, however,
ths bill is likely to prove of small
benefit. They are to collect poll taxes
only, and the new Constitution, soon to
be completed. abolishes poll taxes and
establishes instead a registration fce
for voting qualification, to be paid at
the time of registration. When the
change occurs, therefore, their occupa-
tion, like Othello's, will 'tbe gone,
and it will become question what
another Legislature may "do for
them" Their fellows in the outside
hundreds are more fortunate, as they
wilI.continue to collect property taxes
as long as they remain in office.
This only goes TO show, however, the
folly and utter lack of political pro.
priety of passing this bill. On its face
it has nothing to commend it. Whether.
in its operations. it will eyove any
thing in it's commendation, remains to
be seen.

The following rather remarkable story
appcars in recent issue Of the West
Chester, Pa, Republican:
q visitor 10 Treasurer William s.
Underwooi's office was deplnring thp
fact of the number of suicides who had
used the west Chester reservoir as a
last resort.
ITS just too horrid for anything. :"
said the woman. II don't see WHY
such creatures can't utilize some other
place than the reservoir. "
at tins juncture "A Wilmington woman
who has interests 10 West Chester,
entered the office and uverhearing the
last part uf the complaint said:
Really, you living in Vest Chester
have cause TO be glad that you a:e
saved from some of the annoyances
Under which We staggBF. hut the
merry twinkle in tho eyes of tho
speaker bclied her grave words. "Tbe
last time tho Wilmington reservoir was
cleaned they discovered II deud babies,
- dogs, dead, of course: II eats, a
regiment uf tin cans, and sundry other
articles tou numerous to mention. Oh,
no. west Chester may consider herself
fortunate II hhe only has a suicide once
in whiI5.
We have no idea OF tho identity of
this Wilmington womau," but in
common with all the Citizeps OF Will
minston We protest against the dis
gushing statement she is credited with
IN the above extract. OF course it
was not meant TO be seriously con-
sidered, but its taste s execrable. IL
is not even good joke.
The subject OF supply of pure and
wholesomo water for public use is one
that deeply interests every commuuily.
Wilmington ls more than usually ior-
tunate in this respect, and has a water
department that perfurns its duty to
the people in the most satisfactory
manner. Our water supply is ample,
and an admirable tiltering liant seryss
10 keep the water in Il ccmmendnble
state OF purity. The reservoirs are also
in excellent condition.
In view of this condition OF atTairy a
statement like the above. even il not
made with malicious intent, is n grave
injustice. We hope tine Wilmington
woman" will be heartily ashamed OF il.

The Leaislatare Of Is01.

On Saturday, the Legislature OF
Delaware, after session lasting within
fsw days OF five full months--the
longest on record in this State ad-
journea until January, 1898. when 1t
will meet again. Pleased, indeed, would
the people he il this adjourned session
could be avoided, but the new Oonsti.
tuition. now nearly completed, will rem.
der necessary legislation to effect it's
proper introduction, aud this Legiea-
ture will nnue to attend TO the work.
Hence, the necessity of the adjourned
session.
This Legislature Of 1897 will go down
in history not only as the Que holding
the longest regular session, but 40
positively the worst and weakest lsgis.
latiye body that Delaware ever had.
There are good men among its mem
beFs. but the majority showed them.
selycs to be willing tools OF lobby,
partisans without auillcient compre.
hension to realize what political Iegis.
lation would prove beneficial, and men
who utterly disregardeG the beat public
sentiment of the State. 1t ia fairly
notorious for doing thuse things it
should not have done, and leaving un-
done those things 1t should have done. !"
1t leaves practically nothing in the why
OF good Legislation TO commend itself to
the people, hut TO the Interested lobby
and everybody who desired TO be
divorced. 1T made record of willing
accommodation that is truly marvellous.
II is unfortunate that such Legis-
latcre will have to be 10 session again,
but the threatened calamity cannot be
ayerted. We can only hope that by
calm reflection during the interim, the
members may come to realization Of
how they have disappointed and dis
gusted the people, and endeavor to
retrieve themselves. They should re-
solve to pay no attention, at the ad-
lourned session, to anything but the
real public business OF the State, as
demanded by the new Constitution.
They should resolve to give no head to
applicants for divorces, race track
gambling charters, or any other kind OF
vicious legislation. 1t is by yielding to
the opportunities Of those who sought
this kind OF undesirable legislation,
instead of steruly refusing to listen
even to suggestion OF such things,
that members of the Legislature have
brought upon themselves such deserved
opprobrium.
If the Legislature will do this, it may
eStricate itsclf, to some extent, from
the miro of public condemnation in
which it is now tlpundering.

Senator Hoar To Mr.. Bayard.

In his address upon the occasion of the
presentation OF the 'log of the MAY
flower" to tie State Of Massa ch usetts,
last week, Senutor Ioar alluded TO the
part wnich Ambassador Thomas L,
Bayard had taken in securing the trans.
fer of the famous document to this
country, and addressing him personally,
said:
- iou are entitled, air, to the graft.
tude of Massachusetts, to the gratitude
of every lover Of Massach usetts and
every lover Of the country. You have
suceoeded whore 80 many others have
failed and where SO many others would
have been likely to fail. You NAV he
surn that our Debt TO you is fully
Understood and will not be forgotten. -
This is a graceful tribute, hut one
eminentIy deserved. Mr.. Bayard did
achieve what others tried for hut failed.
and the Bishop of London, as was shown
by the official report of the transfer re. .
Gently printed in The Gazette, made
IT plain that the compliment was ex-
tended TO MIR. Bayard and Mr.. Bayard
alone, and not to the government of the
United States or its representatives.
Senator Hoar is right, therefore. in
declaring that Mr.. Bayard is entitled
to the gratitude of Massachusetts and
of every lover of that State, for his sue.
cessful services in restoring the valued
Bradford manuscript to this country.

city tsonds lsscape Taxation.

Attention Is called to the fact that
tha Adams bill TO tax investments,
recently enacted by the General Assem-
bly,, will not affect the holders of bor Dis
OF the city of Wilmington. Authority
for This statement is found in section
lol of the city charter, which provides
as follows:
a bonds Of the city of Wilmington
winch have heretofore been issued, or
which shall hereafter be issued, under
any ordinance of said city and by
authority of any law of this State,
shall be exempt from taxation under
any law of this State. and from and
after the passage of this act no county
tax shall be collected from any persons
holding tho bonds OF said city for or on
account of said bonds.
1t is well tnat this provision Of the
charter exists, for il city bonds we're
subject to taxation, the people of Will
mington would have to pay the tax, in
some shaEe or other. Even il the
holders thereof made the actual pay
mert this city would feel it in decreased
premiums on the houd Issues, which
heretofore have amounted to consider
able proportions, testimony to the
city's good crolit. The imposition of
taxes would affect this credit at least
to the total of such taxes, and possibly
much further, aa any objectionable re.
8trictions upon bond issues make them
less popular as Investments aud there
fore harder to dispose of upon favorable
terms.
1t 10 a matter of regret that the
Legislature made any advance what
ever IN the direction OF this unjust and
unpopuIar system of taxation.

One Little Tariff r1nc,den,.

Senator Jones of Arkansas showed up
one OF the monstrosities OF the tariff In
d very complete and convincing manner,
during a recent debate. 1t was while
the glass schedule, which raises duties
from 80 to So per cent, was under CON
sideration, and it was charged that tho
increase was made at the dictatiun of
the Fittshurg Plate Glass Company,
which controls the trade in this country
and actually compels customers TO take
Fizes of glass they do not want or else
go without. The story is thus told by
the New York Evening Post:
Senator Jones read the company
answer TO an order, in which it was
stated that ''under no circumstance
will they accept orders for those two
sizes at greater proportion thnn 20
per cent OF the entire quantity under .
