Give the people of Wilmington a sound

have had too much partisan politics in
their charter for the last twenty years
or so.-Evcry Evening.
Yes! But we have no remembrance
of having heard any Democrat say SO un-
til there was some likelihood of changing
the political quality of the partisanship.
Democratic partisanship seems to be all
right and Republican partisanship all
wrong, with you. Let us have charter
vesting the right of government, and se-
lection of governors in the citizens with
out political favoritism, and let the poll
tics Of the situation take care of itself.
The Republicans are in the majority in
this city and all they want is charter
that will not suppress a majority into
subJection to minority. The people
here are capable of selfgovernment, and
shou-,. be allowed the opportunity to
demonstrate it. Democratic partisan
ship has prevented that for about twenty
years.

SCHOOL LEGISLATION.

|
1t is certain that the Board of Public
Education will have to appeal to the
General Assembly for legislation to aid
it to tide over the financial obstruction
met in the building of the new High
School in this city. There should be no
difficulty in the matter. All the argtl-
mrnts that could be urged against the
erection OF so large and costly Il build
ing, must now go for nothing. The
building has now been erected and will
soon be in use. 1t must eventually be
paid for and We do not understand why
any member of the General Assembly
should hesitate to advocate and vote for
any reasonable bill to provide for such
payment.
The revival at this time of the old dis
cussion about pupils from out OF town
attending the local schools may be apro-
pos, but their presence in the schools
has in no way seriously affected the
finances of the Board of Education The
number Of such pupils has always been
small and while they have been in such
attendance they have generally been in
the home of some relative as member
of that family the head of which was
able that any great injury has been done
to any one, particularly in the grades
where vacant seats were plenty. The
suggestion, however, for some arrange
ment by which pupils from out Of town
could avail themselves Of the educational
facilities afforded in the high grade
schools of the city is good one. The
of maintaining q high grade
school III rural district is apparent.
That, however, does not meet the neces-
sity there is for better educational al
vantageS than such districts can afford.
4 system that would supply these ad
vantages ought to be good one aud
ought, We think, be popular. We have
suggested before that the concentration
Of the school board energies and funds
III the stanlshm,nt o high grade schools
i'll central places that y . reach
would yield better resu! an can be
attained by tn, mainteuanro Of num-
Der of widely separated schools The
difficulty in this suggestion is with the
primary schools. But suppose we elimi-
nate that by arranging such system for
the grammar grade and High School pu-
pils2 With the railroad lines, steam and
electric that will soon traverse every sec
tion Of the county the problem does not
appear very difficult. If it could be
solved it would make this city a popu-
lar educational center and give to all the
boys and girls of the county the benefit
Of the schools here, and would be an
to still further Improvement of
the schools.
There is no more important and worthy
object for legislative thought and labor
than public education.
