wHERE rAE BLAME REsrs.

~ HE Legislature has enough sins
\ to answer for both of omission
and commission. to satisfy any critic
without manufacturing any TO swell
the list. But the Every Evening is not
satisfied, but charges that IT was given
out early IN the session that Whining
ton need look for no legislation.
We should like to ask who gave IL
out? From our understanding Of the
situation the Legislature as a whole
was disposed to give Wilmington about
all she asked for providing she could
decide on her own wants.
But this she has not been able to do.
For instance how could down State
legislator tell what we want in the way
OF charter for the school board?
Everything that anybody has recon-
mended has met with opposition right
at home. Possibly the average mem
ber has decided not to force anything
on Wilmington until there is some at
tempt at agreement at least.
The Every Evening tries to throw
the blame for the failure to pass legis-
lation in the interests Of this city upon
our Representatives in Dover. This
appears unjust. Recently there was a
Board OF Trade meeting and there were
present the influential business and
professional men OF this town. Several
members Of the Legislature were there,
too, but could they get any light from
the discussion No objections were
raised to everything. and the legisla-
tors learned nothing about the wishes
OF their constituents. save that they
cared more to discuss details than to
arrive at any conclusion.
We have said. and we repeat that
Wilmington might have had all the
legislation she required had she map
ped It out and presented 1t properly.
But for our contemporaries benefit
let us say that the Democrats have
been the chief objeotors to every pro-
posed measure. and 1t Is owing TO their
attitude that modern charter for the
Board of Education has not passed ere
this. tet

fusal to elect a United States Senator

Instead Of voting for Colonel Hem

members supported Colonel DUPONT for
the hong term without any bargain.
Though the balloting should prove
futile to the end OF the session, the
Republican members VIII have done
something which is wholesome and
which concerns the average party man
and citizen. They have shown dis
position towards Independence. and
have learned to smile at the crack Of
the bosses whip.
Now any man OF sense knows that
we must have leaders, but in recent
years a large number have preferred
bosses. II may be that this new spirit
OF independence win grow. It is pos
sible that with so many examples OF
independence before them, the people

front us then. The Republican party

ENDED HIS LIFE
IN MIDOCEAN
Andrew Griscom Leaped to
His Death From a
Steamer
RAN AWAY FROM PHILADELPHIA

New York, March 22.-Andrew NJ.
Griscom. who disappeared severalweeks
ago and was supposed to be in Europe,
committed suicide on March 10 by
jumping overheard at sea from the
steamer Minnetonka. GriscOm sailed
on the Minnetonka from London for
this city. When he jumped overheard
the steamer was stopped and a boat
was lowered, but he could not be found
It is supposed that he was temporarily
unbalanced mentally. Griscom was a
member of a well-known Philadelphia
family.
When Griscom disappeared from
Philadelphia it was reported that he
had eloped with a young woman and
that both Of them had gone to Europe.
Griscom's mother, however, denied it.
News of his suicide was made public
when the Minnetonka reached this
port.
Grisccm boarded the boat on March
g, on the day she sailed. He had no
effects except a small portmanteau
This was noticeably new, and had evil
IDENTIFY been purchased in London, pos
sibly by his fathers order, after he was
found. He did not appear moody on
the boat, and spent most OF his time
as did the other passengers, either on
deck or in the smoking room He sell
dom talked to anyone, however, merely
answering questions put to him. Most
of the time he was reading.
Griscom was unaccompanied, the
other berth in his stateroom having
been unoccupied. It was said by some
Of the passengers that when he went
overheard he grasped the log line and
clung to it until he reached the log
towing astern, where his hands were
cut by the blades of the log before he
released his hold
William NJ. Griscom, the young mans
father, and his two daughters were at
the pier to await the arrival OF the
Minnetonka When Superintendent
Jones, of TIE pier learned of their ar
rival he asked for Mr.. Griscom to go
around to the Offices Of the Mercantile
Marine company, where an official
broke to him the news of his sons
death.
1t was learned that in the portman-
teau left in Griscom's room were found
cheap suit of clothes, two suits Of
cheap underwear, a half dozen collars
and pair of black socks. In thte coat
was found a cattleman's ticket for the
steamship Mesaba, which sailed from
this port on February II. It is pre-
sumed that Griscom went aboard in
that manner. Two cablegrams to him
from his father we're also found, which
told him that London banking house
would supply him with credit and give
him his passage, and for him to apply
to them.
Young Andrew Griscom, who was %
years old, was a son Of William NJ
Griscom, large stockholder in the
! Reading Hardware company with Of
fees at 9S Reade street, New York
The elder Griscom is a cousin of Glenn
ent A. Griscom, OF the International
Mercantile Marine company.
The parents of Andrew are known
as the German Griscoms, because they
spent most Of their lives at their lodge
in Germany. They only recently re-
turned to this country. Andrew, who
was tall, Of light complexion and con-
sidered a handsome youth, was born in
Germany and spoke with a marked
German accent.
