COMMISSION MERCHANTS ACQUIT-
TED

Media, March 1.-THE grand jury in
the Criminal Court here yesterday ig-
nored the bills charging Charles l..
Thomson and Frank Schmidt, Chester
commission merchants. with violating
the game law OF the state in exposing
rabbits for sale after the rabbit sea-
son had closed. The rabbits had been
shipped to the merchants from another
state. The jury also in acquitting the
defendants placed the costs on the
prosecutor, w. Lewis Burk, secretary
OF the Delaware County Fish and Game
Association. William Robb, OF Chester,
was sent to jail for three months for
disturbing and making sport OF the
Salvation Army meeting. ROIbb plead
ed guilty to the charge, hoping that
the court would show mercy and dis
charge him, but Judge Clayton said the
act was too fragrant to go unpunished.

THE NEW CHARTER.

For the second time, at the instance
OF the General Assembly, the Municipal
Commission, appointed to draft new
charter for the city OF Wilmington, has
performed its work, and the substitute
BIZ and the accompanying report are in
the hands OF the Democratic senator
from this city, at whose instance the
commission was originally appointed.
The bill ia an exceedingly important
one. II materially affects the interests
OF over 10000 persons. It's provisions
have been carefully framed. Nearly
three years have been consumed in the
work. The various suggestions OF valu-
able character have been accepted and
incorporated in the new bill, while OBJ
lection after objection has been met
and disposed OF by sound argument.
In It's present shape but two classes
OF men can oppose it-the office holders
and the partisan politicians, who see
no good In anything which is not paril-
san.
The charter has been drafted by busi-
ness men, along business lines and for
business purposes. The effect OF it's
passage would be to give us an honest.
efficient and economical admlnlstra-
tion of our home affairs without any
interference whatever from outside
sources. It would be our charter OF
liberty, and shake on the shacklee
which have In the past dwarfed our
city's development.
II must come. and the sooner it comes
the better It will be for all concerned.
No member of the General Assembly
need be afraid OF placing himself onrec-
ord in favor Of the passage Of the bill
in its amended form,

There are several "bum-camps" IN
the neighborhood OF this city which
ought to be broken up. The tramps
loaf in them when they are not in
town begging or committing depreda-
tions, but this is not the worst feature
OF It. Many Wilmington boys, who
should be attending school, play truant
and go out to these camps, fascinated
by the card-playing and other free
and-easy diversions OF the lazy and
worthless vagabonds. The lessons
learned are exceedingly harmful to the
morals Of the boys, many OF whom are
apt pupils OF the fellows who hold that
they do not have to work, as the
world owes them living.
