The Wilmington daily Republican. (Wilmington, Del.) 1890-1902, 1901-01-05

A NEW City Charter is being agi-
tated again bv the Board Of Trade.
"A meeting was held on Thursday
evening at the Board Of Trade
rooms where its provisions we're
discussed William Lawto1 pre-
sided over the meeting and several
we'll known gentlemen took part in
The discussion. By a careful can
vass oil the members of the Legisla-
ture we have been unable to find
anybody thus far who are enthusi.
astic over new city charte- Tor
the city OF Wilmington. Both Dem
ocrat aud Republican members ex-
pressed themselves as not being in
favor u new city charter for Will
mington. There are undoubtedly
numerous good features to recon-
mend the new city charter to our
citizens but they do not have
voice IN the matter. Whether or
not Wilmington shall have the new
city charter. the gentlemen OF the
Board OF Trade contend is Tor the
best interests OF the tax payers.
The Democrats 10 control OF our
Municipal affairs do not want it
because they contend it would leg
islate them out of Office. KcpubIi-
can workers aud others say they
do not want it because it would
prevent them from enjoying the
fruits OF their political labors and
what has been good for the people
SO many years is good enough Tor
them. 1t is going to have rocky
road TO travel before it reaches the
Governor for his signature.
Two men were heard to say that
they would be wiling TO make a
wager OF 500 each that two Repub-
lcan United States Senators would
be elected on the 18th day of Janu-
arv, the first day the ballotting
takes place at Dover Tor these two
important positions. A mem Der OF
the Legislature on being asked
about it said it WAS very uncer- |
tain bet as he did not believe that |
such would he the case. He SAID |
in lis opinion two Republican Uni |
ted States Senators would be elect. |

MY DAY.

izife sends her dismal days TO me-
Blown rain and binding snow;
I make my way across them cheertulIY,
For well, ah, well. l know
That Fate. unwilling Fate. must give
To each man. great and small
One glorious, triumphant day 10 live,
Which compensates for all.
A day OF great dreams realized,
OF keenest happiness,
Possession OF the thing that most we
priced
And hungered to possess.
Yea, for "A space we shall have all,
From sunrise 10 sunset;
The heavy night that saw US grope and
fall
We may at last forget
life cannot cheat me Of my day,
Nor sadly do ! fare
When at each sunrise I may look and say:
"Perchance IT dawneth there"

World, New York.

fashioned ideas about integrity. Aft
err Mr.. Robert Bonner had purchased
Maud s. and sent her to Charter Oak
park to be trained the writer met Mr..
Clark under peculiar circumstances.
The train we had taken from New
York did not stop at the track, and
Mr.. Bonner requested us to try d.
plomacy The conductor was polite,
but could not go against orders. At
New Haven. where a halt was made,
the engineer was approached. The
sight Of "A ten-dollar bill had almost
persuaded him to slow up at Charter
Oak, when suddenly his manner
changed and there was a curt re-
fusal. We were informed that Mr..
Clark had boarded the train at New
Haven. and quickly went in search OF
him We found him silent and in
clined to be gruff, but stated the
case plainly to him.
"Why don't you see the conductor?''
he asked. Il have, but he will not
disobey orders" "Why not, then, go
forward and bride the engineer?" 81
tried bribery at New Haven, but it
would not work" The absence OF
evasion was the best policy. Mr., Clark
went to the drawing-room car with
us. was introduced TO Mr.. Bonner,
spoke in admiration of Maud s. and
of the position of her owner in trot-
ting affairs and then ordered the
conductor to stop the train. He also
took card from his pocket and wrote
on II general order to conductors
TO stop all trains at Charter Oak park
for Mr. Bonner. Mr., Clark had wit
messed the little attempt at bribery,
and frank confession Of the offense

DECLINED TO BE CHARITABLE
An English Member of Parliament Who
Could Not Forget old
scores

Marshall Hall, who has recently
been elected to the British parlia-
ment from southport, lately told
a story of The way in which he is
worried with begging letters. During
his campaign he held a meeting,
against the advice Of his friends, in Il
remote part of the division. In his
speech his opponents "hooed" to such
an extent that they broke of in the
middle what he was saying, and he
added that they then reported the
half of what he said as the whole of
what ne mcant-a fact which was
strategicaIly most veNatious to him.
Within As hours of his election he re-
'eiycd a letter from the most bigoted
and violent of his opponents at this
meeting, suggesting that he should
90 down and open new school and
contribute 4 100. He replied by say
ing that he was grieyed he could
not see his way TO give c 400. and,
Even il me- could-howeve improbable
his correspondent might think it
there we're some people uncharitable
enough 80 think that he was making
q desperate effort TO buy over this
gcntlcman's allegiance. Moreover,
| ne said, the last time he went into
| that portion of the division he could
not get a word in edgeways, so it
might hardly be advisable TO accept
| the imitation. And as his CORES
pondcut had named G100 he could
not possibly insult him by sending
