signs of Republican Revolt.

There were Visible signs OF Repub.
lican revolt against the Dingiey Tariff
bill during the discussion of that re.
markable production in the House of
Representatives. at Washington, Mon.
day. They were initiated by Mr.. Nc
Call of Massachusetts, who boldly ex-
pressed the opinion that tho duties
imposed by the bill were too high. He
especially mentioned wool, and the
Democrats aprlauded.
OF COURSE there was CONSERVATION
among the Republicans, and Mr.. Nc
Call was assaulted with partisan pro-
tests, but he stood his ground. To
some persistent inquiries about tho
duties on wool and woolens no replied
81 do not hesitate to say think these
duties could be reduced without detri.
ment either to the wool grower or the
wooden manufacturer. There ia not a
sheep in my district that l know of,
unless it ia in museum (laughter),
but think the farmer is entitled to
protection, not, however, to the extent
ho 10 given III tliS Vii.
MIR. Lowering, another Republican
from Massachusetts, who is also a
large manufacturer, followed the lead
OF Mr.. Mccall in attacking the bill.
lIs declared that tho manufacturers OF
New England did not want the duties

the straight duties. 1--WE want tariff

The tariff extremists among the Re-
publicans protested Indignantly against
this revolution, and Mr.. Dingey was
compelled to take hand in gueliing
the confusion. The effect, however,,
was remarkable. NOW that the ice has
been broken, further acts OF rebellion
may be expecte1, and the fate of tho
Dingley bill, even in tho house of it's
friends cannot be definitely predicted.

vestins Too Much rouer,n the senate.

Nesting TOO Much Power IN the senate.
The Constitutional Convention, on
Monday, in committee of the whole,
adopted section of the proposed new
Constitution making the affirmative
vote of three fifths of all the members
of the State Senate REQUESTS TO the
confirmation OF tho Governors appoint
Inent OF Secretary of State. The
excuse offered for this severe restriction
was that as the Secretary Of State is
to be placed in the line of guberpatorisl
succession-after the Speaker OF the
Senate and tho Speaker of the House
lit 10 necessary 10 surround his
selection with more safeguards than
would be required were he merely to no
the Governors confidential clerk.
But, even admitting the force of the
argument, the provision requiring a
ree-iifths vote to secure confirmation
is too radical. 1t lie doubtful If il
should be required in any event, and
yet the Constitutional Convention has
already made 1t necessary with respect
to judicial appointments ss we'll. Such
requirement places too much power in
the hands of the Senate, aud in tho
event of ths close political division OF
that body, as st present, would practi-
cally vest the minority with the power
to dictate appointments.
The main idea of making the Cover
nor's appointments subject to Sena-
torial confirmation, we take it, is to
prevent the possibility of evil appoint
ments, by lad Governor. And yet,
judging by the past, it is seldom that
the State will be afflicted with really
bad Governor. In such an unfortunate
event, majority vote of the Senate
would, in the main, he sufficient to
prevent him from imposing objection
able appointments upon the people.
There is no justice, therefore, in i'm
posing such stretch of power upon the
State Senate. 1t is likely to prove d
great temptation to a small minority,
and work grave injustice upon the
people. 1t would place the hest Cover
nor the State could procure virtually
at the mercy of such minority.
Before finally concluding its labors
the Constitutional Convention should
carefully consider this matter, and
alter their judgment. Let than CON
slider Governor Tunnel, with respect
to the State Senate as at present con
stituted. The four Republicans could
practically block him in every move.
The will of the people could be set at

may be left to the General Assembly.
The latter plan would be preferable,
except for the danger that the district
ing Of the State might prove tompta-
tion for gerrymander BY partisan ma
jorities from time to time in control of
the Legislature. And yet IL is matter
that should not DO arbitrarily deter
mined by the Constitutional uonven-
tion. Population changes ARE likely to
be Of frequent occurrence, and dis
trict lines that would prove fair and
equitable ono year might be found
awkward and unequal arothur year.
Possibly, however, the danger of gerry.
mander would be less evil than the
arbitrary establishment OF division
lines that might prove positive detrl
meut TO the public interests.
Tho membership Of each body ia fixed
at sufficient numbers, and can very
readily be assigned to tho three cnun-
ties. II may safely be assumed at tho
outset that the principle OF represents
tion according to population will not
be religlousiv observed, for no matter
how vital this principle may be, it 10
another matter when 1t comes to the
test Of practice. Particularly Ia this
so in the State OF Delaware, where Tho
conditions are such that the single city
of Wilmington may have, in very few
years, avoting population sufficient TO
outnumber that OF all the rest of the
State.
But that Wilmington will be given
increased representation is an as.
sumption that admits OF no doubt,
and this could be secured by tho pro-
posed membership of II Senators and
IS Representatives, iu a manner that
would work no injustice to the re-
mainder of the State. For Instance, a
division like the following could be
readily made:
nate-Wilmington,. ....................
Rural New Castle, ......,.... :. 3
kent... ......,..............,.. D
Stissex, ...,.............. b
Total, ....................l7
Wilmington, :. .................. 8
Rural New Castle, ....l0
KENT, ................s.... -. ~
ollssex, ........,.......... .....lU
1otal, ........ ..................o 90
The division would respect terri
torial rights OF the counties, recognize
all sections of the State, and give to
the city OF Wilmington, permanently,
two MONITORS of the State Senate and
five members Of the House of Repro.
sentativss This would BIO far from
represen tstion according to population,
but, as we remarked above, this priu.
ciple cannot be considered as Justly
applicable to the conditions prevailing
in this State. The above division
would be as fair to Wilmington as any
arrangement that could possibly DO
made. and it would secure TO the
city. at all times, an effective repre-
sanitation in both branches of the
General Assembly--an important matter
now dependent entirely upon the within
of the dominant political party in
making it's Legislative nominations.
We doubt if any effort would secure
more for tho city of Wilmington than
is included iu the above assignment.
II would BIO the part of wisdom. there.
fore, tn strive to secure that much, and
depend upon tho future for whatever
increase may be deemed necessary OF
advisable.
