SATURDAY, MARCH II 1905.
THE CITY CHARTER.

TT COULD never be expected that
4 town meeting called for the pur-
pose Of considering the subject of
now charter for Wilmington would at
the first meeting be anything like un-
animous in sentiment on the question
involved.
The Legislature has now before it a
charter which Is great Improvement
on the one under which the city Of
Wilmington is now being managed
II is a charter which would rid us OF
commissions, which would throw the
responsibility OF the government OF our
city on the mayor and the heads OF
departments. who acting with the
Council jointly would manage the af-
fairs OF our city.
The proposed charter divides the
city into fifteen wards but does not
provide for the election Of councllmen
at large. which is one Of the features
which was desired by the committee OF
the Board Of Trade.
The prevailing note of the meeting
last night was that the speakers gem
orally knew very little about the text
OF the charter now before the Legis-
lature.
Many Of the criticisms made last
night were on minor questions, or
points which csuld be amended by the
members OF the Legislature.
The debt limit can be made say per
cent It will never be possible to get a
unanimous opinion OF electing, or APP
pointing ofaciais. such as the receiver
city comptroller, city treasurer and
city solicitor.
Probably one-half OF our people will
think 1t best to appoint ana the other
half win consider election the safer
way-why not try the plan OF electing
The general scheme OF having a
mayor who with the heads of depart-
ments shall constitute board to be
known as the Board OF Control who
shall take the place OF our present
commissions, seems to meet with gen.
ersl approval.
II Is only a question OF carrying out
the plan Of government without con-
nictlng with the interests OF the poll
ticians that the differences arose.
IN our opinion these differences can
be overcome as II was noticed that IN
the divisions which occurred in the
meeting Republicans and Democrats
were voting on the same side on many
questions.
That the meeting should have ad-
joprned without appointing a commit.
tee to try and make amendments tC
the pending charter cannot be taker
as an approval OF the present system
OF City Council to lay tax rates and
commissions to spend the money.

"cussedr The Preacher.
There is a certain policeman i'm this
city who though not addicted to the
vice Of profanity sometimes "cusses
when i'm an unusual bad frame of
mind. One night last week his wife
who is i'll sent word to the minister Of
the church which she attends, request
ing him to visit her.
The policeman retired early on the
evening i'm question and within the
short space OF an hour was called
down stairs four or five time by some
one at the front door who wanted to
know how the Mrs. was. Each time
his anger became more pronounced,
but he managed with an effort to keen
from exploding.
Finally when the door bell rang for
the sixth time, he could no longer con-
troll his temper and getting out Of bed
almost flew down stairs. He sputtered
and mumbled angry words and upon
reaching the front door flung it open
with a bang.
What the hell do you want?" he
fairly shouted upon preceiving a man
standing on the top step. A cioser
scrutiny. however. caused a remarkable
change in his demeanor. II was the
preacher.

Used tho Wrong Letter Paper

Used the Wrong Letter Paper
There is a certain business man in
this city who is in a quandary as to
how to make answer to a letter from
his best girl" who lires somewhere in
the Southern States. Not long ago he
wrote an endearing epistle to the
young woman but was surprised to
have It returned to him few days later
and to find written across the top Of the
paper: please explain these words.
Searching for these words" he found
typewriter on one Of the pages; MY
dearest" mentioning a young woman's s
name). your loving letter received.
The paper he had written on was a
sheet on which young man in his em-
ploy had been practicing with the
typewriter. The business man says
however. he will have hard work to
make his lady-love believe the facts in
the case.

The Value Of a Town Me.tino Is no

The Value Of Town Meeting is not
in what it does in the way OF posi-
tive action. but in drawing out ex-
pressions Of opinion from those who
attend that the trainers Of laws may
know just what points should be COW
cred and what opposition may be ex-
pected. The meeting last night was
very largely attended by active po-
litical workers. The women who at
tended seemed to take a deep interes,
and were doubtless ready to say a
good word for the new charter for
the Board Of Education had there
been time or opportunity.
