p1sruRBEp THE pocroRs.

1T IS not without reason that the medical pro-
4 fession in some Of the nearby larger cities
is somewhat disturbed by the spectacle that DR..
Wiley made Of himself while on the witness
stand at the Thaw trial last week. AS one Of
them remarked, it was bad showing up of the
doctors. And it really was, but we hope and
trust that there are not many Of them who would
make such a deplorable appearance as did the
pittsburg witness. 1t is true that, in some re-
spects, the physicians are fortunate. Their mis-
takes are hidden in the grave. The errors of the
LAWYERS 60 TO higher court and the newspapers
have to grin and bear their mistakes. The
preachers are lucky, because no one is in posi-
ton TO prove what they say, with mathematical
certainty is true or false. Hence it is that when
the doctors are discovered as either ignorant or
IN error that the public is surprised and the ply
sicians themselves are disturbed. II there are

MUST HAVE
CITY'S APPROVAL
Legislature Asked to Ignore
Bills EffeCting This City Un-
less Endorsed by Council

Councilman White Of the Eighth
Ward at last nights meeting of City
Council presented a resolution which
endorsed the proposed act now before
the Legislature, giving the city treas.
urer and auditor OF Wilmington, the
authority TO appoint their own clerks,
but after some discussion on the sub
ject he withdrew it,
Mr.. McGovern Of the Eleventh Ward
Thought Wilmington should have the
handling Of its affairs and Council
should not rush off to the Legislature,
when anything was wanted in which
the city business only. was involved.
With regard to the city treasurer
appointing his own clerk, Mr.. McCaf-
ferty of the Tenth Ward, seemed satis-
fed, but he thought the auditors clerk
should have the power of assistant
auditor. so that the business Of that
office could be equally divided between
the two, in the matter Of auditing the
accounts OF the various city depart
ments.
Mr. Taylor was Of the opinion that
inasmuch as the city treasurer was a
bonded official, he should have the
privilege Of appointing his assistant.
Finally on the motion of Mr. Kane.
the matter was laid over for one week,
and Mr. White then withdrew the re-
solution.
Mr.. Taylor introduced a resolution
which was adopted, which provided
that the General Assembly ignore all
bills pertaining to Wilmington, which
are not first approved by City Coun-
ell. Exception was made, however in
the bills introduced by Councilman
Mccafferty who represents the Fifth
Representative District in the Legis-
lature. They include a proposed act
which provides for the appointment Of
a commission by the court TO assess
property, the taxes on which are lost
to the city, through action at court:
bill to prevent the erection OF poles
on sidewalks without the permission
Of the abutting property owners; a
measure to prohibit the erection Of
buildings ON lots and the Improvement
Of buildings, on which taxes are due
the city; a bill to permit the towns
and cities OF Wilmington TO bond for
public improvements, to an amount
within ten per cent. Of the assessed
value OF real estate; a bill for the
better protection Of life and limb in
case OF fire; a measure providing for
division of the liquor license paid
into the state treasury by the city and
a similar measure making the state
give Wilmington fifty per cent OF the
state tax paid by the manufacturers
In this city.
Council approved all these proposed
acts.
city Treasurer Blaine reported the
following bank balances: First Ma
tional Bank. $51.s41.7s; Union. SO, 1895. Al:
Central. $1,000; Wilmington and Bran
dywine. $4,000; Delaware. s17.0O0 spe-
cial park fund. s27,645, and miscellan-
eous fund s109.61. Total sl5s, ,691. 10
Treasury receipts for the week were:
Eugene NJ. sayers 5000 and George H.
Mccall. 5000.
The monthly appropriation OF the
Board OF Education, amounting ia
SIS. 1850 was ordered paid.
A communication received from the
Town Council OF Dover. thanking the
Mayor and Council for the hospitality
extended to Dover's delegates to the
municipal convention held here last
month, was accepted and filed.

Lower Court Needed.
rhe rrenlnr Ionrnnl.

Editor The Evening Journal
The necessity of lower court to
dispose Of the many minor cases that
come before our higher tribunals is be-
coming more and more evident every
term OF upper court Not infrequently
do we have cases in our criminal
court which involve the larceny Of a
trivial article or small sum of money
and which costs the State ten times
the amount involved to try. II seems
to me that members of the New Castle
Bar Association in their efforts to have
a bill passed regulating the judicial
system OF the county and State might
wen embody in the proposed measure
a clause providing for a court whose
duty It shall be TO hear and dispose Of
petty cases, Very truly,
A Layman.

Will ANoTHER MISTAKE BE MApE9

THERE is in our judgment no reason why
4 the proposed local option bill should pro-
vide for the submission Of the question at a spe-
cial election. The cost of a special election all
over the State would be enormous and the State
could be saved that expense by letting the vote
be taken at the next general election The local
option advocates should prefer the test to be
made at such time and under such conditions
that the largest vote will be cast. At a special
election the vote might be small and the result,
whatever it be- would be neither decisive nor sat
isiactory The Republicans are pledged to mere
ly submit the question to the people, and that
they should do in the most economical and salts
factory way. 1t would be a serious blunder for
the Republicans to subject the people to a to-
tally unnecessary expense of twenty thirty
thousand dollars in connection with the local op-
ton question and at the same time displease the
advocates Of the measure.

The Great lesson In Il.

Editor The Evening Journal.
Just now throughout the country the
women and church warkers are rails,
ing strong protest against the news
papers publishing detailed accounts Of
the Thaw trial on the grounds that
much OF the testimony is Of an i'm
moral character and should be sup
pressed. Yours truly,
1t is true that what is written is,
from one point of view, highly offensive
inasmuch as It brings into the light the
wicked doings of a certain class f
persons who do not recognize the code
Of morals as generally applied
on the other hand there is a power
ful sermon I'm every paragraph OF the
testimony Of Mrs. Thaw. Her expert
ences were far from pleasant, and yet,
had she not spoken with candor none
would have ever known. II is barely
possible that had she, girl Of is, read
the daily papers and read just such
cases as the one in which she herself IS
now involved. she would have been far
moro wise, and there Is a probability
that things would have been different.
There Is a certain class Of plays that
almost portray just such events AS
marred the life Of Mrs. Thaw, and yet
veiled as they are, the lesson seems 20
be unheeded. In cold type, staring one
IN the face. and written in words that
cannot fail to impress, the story Of a
woman's wrecked life cannot easily be
forgotten.
The press is for the purpose Of Civ
ing news and for the education Of the
people. There is no necessity for peo-
pie to read murder trials unless they
so desire. but for those who want the
details. and who see between the lines
a great moral lesson. can see no rea-
son why such a matter should be sup
pressey. Yours truly,
A Reader.
