HEARsrs NC REcoRps.

The New York sun Is performing a
service in showing the relative proml-
nence Of Mr. Hearst as Congressman
and as the subject for advertising In
the columns OF his own paper. II
quotes the Congressional Record to
substantlate the fact that in one hum
dred and eight working days Hearst
has made no speeches, never made an
incidental remark, no motions or
points of order. no reports; has offered
but one resolution. has introduced five
bills and has voted on roll-call only
six times.
That is the total public record OF a
man who wants to be President Of the
United statesl
Then the sun takes up a single issue
OF the New York American and finds
that Mr.. Hearsts name is mentioned
17s times on hve pages, and SO times
IN display type. It is plain that Mr.
Hearst finds 1t easier to advertise In
the New York American than TO gel
into the Congressional Record.

DESTROYING NIAGARA.

The giving away Of municipal fran
chises has long been the favorite pas
time Of city councils. and legislatures
seem to haye also contracted the habit.
The New York Assembly seems to
have proved most generous in this
during It's present session.
Years ago New York made state
reservation OF the grounds on the
American side OF Niagara Falls. but in
recent years grants have been given
which II continued viii utterly destroy
this great natural wonder. A few
days ago bill was passed giving a
franchise to another concern, under
which it is said at least third of
the water coming over the falls will
be diverted.
The people are opposed to it-they
are opposed to this sort Of thing gem
erally-but it makes no difference, the
bin was passed by an overwhelming
majority despite protests.
II state can commit a crime, then
New York win be a criminal II she al
lows this marvel OF nature to be de-
stroyed. It Is true that there Is power
going to waste but II that argument is
all powerful we shall come to grow
turnips in our window boxes and po-
tatoes in the front yard.

several old towns showed a loss. and
the rural districts are not filing up
very rapidly.
Now as Wilmington grows IN polpu-
lation out of proportion to the increase
in the other sections OF the state. the
question Of local government becomes
more and more pressing. We are aware
that the suggestion for larger represen-
tation in the Legislature and In the
county government by the people OF
this city win meet with stern OPPOSE
ton. but we state that 1t will soon be
fact that in the Legislature city
representing one-half OF the popula-
tlon Of the state win send seven mem
bers to the Legislature. while the rural
sections representing the other half
viii send forty-fve.
That VIII mean that the vote Of the
man Of Kent. Sussex and rural New
Castle viii be equal to six Wilmington
votes. Besides. It cannot be doubted
that this city furnishes most Of the
revenues for running the state gov
ernment.
1t is ever true that rural populations
object to a large city running a state
government. and there are many rea-
sons FOR these objections. but the peo-
pie OF cities have rights that ought to
be considered.
We think that there is a way out
Of it, and that there is but one solution;
Wilmington must be made a separate
county and given at least the represen-
tation which belongs to county. 1t
would greatly simplify government
and do away with a lot OF officers and
their salaries. We should then have
one system Of taxation, and fewer
leaks. Besides. there would then be
three rural counties to hold Wilmington
In check.

THE DAY
Was Not a Trolley Car.

A West Side young man had an ex-
perience one night this week that is
amusing TO all but himself Having
stayed much later than he thought he
went to get a car. 1t was near the end
of one of the lines. Looking far up the
street he saw what he thought was the
familiar red light of one OF the trolley
lines. Beside it was the headlight Az
ter waiting for some time he became
impatient. Finally he determined to
go see what was the matter. Upon ar
riving at where he saw the light he
found it was suspended over pile Of
bricks and what he took for the head
light was a gas lamp. Looking at his
watch he found the last car had gone.
He had to cover the twenty odd squares
on foot.

Professor Borden P. Browne OF Bos-

heresy. The charges are numerous,
although the evidence is being taken

of his friends wrote letter TO him and in
1t enclosed check for Slo0 stating 1t was
for the benefit Of the home. The letter
was mailed out of the city and reached
the clerk on the first day OF April. The
check was signed A. p. Rilfool. which
reads April Fool, when all the words are
put together. The officer of the home was
delighted on receiving the generous dona-

out It was joke. Since then his friends
have been giving him the laugh.

The Intelligent EFFORTS OF the National

OF ais fAese favoring circumstances there
is now before Congress an excellent bill
to Increase the opportunities for military
rifle shooting and TO enable the army,

conditions in tho annual contest for the
national trophy. Though the appropria-
ton IL small. it constitutes an encourag-
ing recognition by the Government OF the

THE cIrvs GROWTH AND NEEDS.

According to the estimate OF the

printed yesterday. Wilmington now has
a population Of over $1,000. According

proximately correct we have gained in
the number of inhabitants in the past
three years nearly 5000.
There are several facts which are
suggested by these figures. the chief
Of which that Wilmington. true to her
history, maintains regular and satis-
factory growth. She has had no

ahead during every decade.
