AN effort was made last week
by Wilmingtonians to have petit
ton signed, which requests Gov
ernor HUM to call an extra session
of the Legislature, for the purpose
of enacting a new charter for the
city of Wilmington. 1t is claimed
that a democratic and honest form
of government can not be had i'll
that city, where commissions, with
power to act, are the governing
power. This is undoubtedly true;
and the power of the people was
taken from them by Democratic
politicians through connivanee with
uocratic Legislatures, that the
Nlican party might not share
city government.
'ly the political &C rex
Va commissions
undergone changes, and the
pie have just awakened to the
ct, that the Democratic and Re
publican politicians filling these
snug berths, are vampires sucking
the city taxes that their own bodies
and purses may grow fat. Well,
this is simply the old story over
again; but when a view is taken
beyond, and the situation carefully
looked over, where to place the re-
sponsibility for their trouble, is
easy to place. The ''more holy
than thou" element, by either lack
of support of the Republican party
or secret corlnivance with the Dem
Ocrats for personal aggrandizemen
for thirty years past, has made tn,
present condition of Wilmington
affairs possible.
Wilmington undoubtedly needs
new charter, but she needs the fun
damental principles of all good gov
eminent more men with good
honest political sense.

exceptions. In later times the prac-
tice has been to use the singular.
Among prominent statesmen and pub
lie men who used the singular were
Hamilton, Jefferson, Seward, Blaine,
Edmunds, Z. j. Phelps, Webster,
Benton, Fish, Frelinghuysen, Motley,
Reid, Gresham, Silas Wright, Mar cy,
Evarts, Bayard, Charles Francis
Adams, Depew and Olney. Leading
American writer's on international
law use singular. Andrew Jackson
was the first president to use
the singular, and since lincoln
all presidents have I Jed it. For the
first half century thes supreme court
in its decisions used the plural, but
in the latter half the singular. The
same is true Of the use of singular
and plural in treaties. There is one
sentence in the constitution itself in
which reference is made to the United
States as both singular and plural.
Upon this basis of usage ex-Secre-
tary Foster argues that no amend
ment to tho consti tuition is necessary
to treat Omitted States as a singular
noun. This proposition is maintained
by the additional fact that the spelling
of words is now different from what
it was when they we're originally
written in the constitution. Other
confrmatory arguments are cited, but
these are sufiicient.-Rocky Mountain

The End of
a Bunco Game.

The number of millions of dollars
lost by the gullible public in Thurs
days furry on Wall street never will
be known, but the country awoke
thoroughly yesterday to the know
ledge that practically every speculator
from one end of the land TO the other
who was carrying stocks on margin
lost every cent he had put up and
was powerless to help himself in the
face of the tremendous decline.
The activity which has prevailed in
Wall street for months and the sort
of infatuated confidence of the Amer
ican people that the new trust wiz
ards would make 81 or 80 where
there was only 81 before caused spec
ulators from Tallahassee to Seattle
and from Bangor to San Diego to
pour money into Wall street. The
tide of "prosperity" rose higher and
higher. The newspapers were full of

An Issue With
in The Party.

The modification or reform Of The
present tariff is certain to become an
issue between two factions of the Re
publican party in the immediate fu-
ture. There were signs of it at the
last session of congress, and it is al
most certain to assume more def
mite form when congress assemblies
again next winter.
The issue will be forced on the
party that has always stood for pro-
lection by its policy Of expansion
The new possessions added to the
United States produce n variety OF
articles on which tariff duties have
been levied. If those possessions are
to be of any industrial benefit to
themselves or of any commercial ben
eft to the people Of the United States
the exchange of products should be
on the same basis us betwee the
states of the union, or rs it always
has been between the states and the
territories. 1t is not improbable that
the forthcoming supreme court de-
cision will render such policy obli-
gatory, but if it should leave the mat
ter in the hands of congress Il division
In the Republican ranks is inevitable.
Porto Rico legislation indicates that
without a question. \ faction of the
party will insist on free trade with
the new insular possessions and a
modification of the existing tariff on
all goods on which We are now un-
derselling the world in foreign
markets. Another section that which
is especially dominated by the trusts
and the high protection theory, will
insist on maintaining the present
duties. The issue is clean.cut one,
and will occasion q fierce factional
conflict. On questions Of less import
ance parties have been rent asunder.
Another factor is the policy of tue
department of agriculture under Sec
retary Wilson, who is trying to devel-
op the agricultural and horticultural
possibilities of Porto Rico, and the
Hawaiian islands. The result of this
development is certain to force this
tariff reform issue to the 'front.'

lti is recognized that there is no prob.
ability of farther rise in stocks, and
the Wall Street market, therefore, is
no longer attractive. The attention
of those with money to spare will be
turned to the mines, real estate and

Singular or Plural7

Should "United States" be followed
by singular or plural verb? This
question has been raised again by a
critic of ex-Secretary Fosters new
volume, entitled ga Century Of Amer
ican Diplomacy" who remarked in
the course Of his comments on the
book that "to make United States q
singular noun would require an
amendment to the federal constitu-
ton" Mr.. Foster took the matter
up, and made some Investigations,
the results of which are interesting.

Church Air.

One Of the attaches of Every Where
was deeply interested in a sermon,
some Sundays ago. 1t was at large
Church. The pastor was not only
scholarly, but eloquent; not only SEN
sible, but picturesque. Listening to
him was an education and an enter
tainment combined.
When you are very much pleased
with discourse or any public per
formanco, do you like to see others
pleased, and look about with a view
of ascertaining whether they are or
not? That was what the attache did
He wanted to get sympathy from
them: not by communicating glances,
but by simply observing that they
were also interested, instructed and
entertained.
Some Of them were; but, alas! not
all. One good demonstrating man
was fast nsleep-or, perhaps more
accurately speaking, fast-and-loose
asleep: his head oscillated atirregular
intervals from high to low. and from
low to high. He unconsciously
nodded approval to almost everything
the Clergyman said.
Another, and another, and another!
there were quite {. good many in
the audience that seemed drowsy, and
either yielded altogether to the heath

Of difficulty in keeping awake.
Who was to blame: the clergyman?
No! The slumberers (or half-slum-
berers)? No! The sexton? No.

The air was to blame: or, perhaps
more accurately speaking, the lack of
air. A thousand mortals were breath
ing over the same atmosphere, again
and again The ventilation was

lned.
When these people stepped into the
outdoor April air, they felt suddenly
awakened, and some Of them u little
chilled. Probably the foundation Of
more or less fits OF sickness were laid,
right there in the church, during an
hour and half.
What is the remedy? II possible

or electricity. This could be arranged
quietly and efficiently without disturb

For those some loved ones wait;
