ELEcTING A BISHOP.

tt HE Episcopal Convention will reassemble
\ at Dover tomorrow for the purpose of
eecting bishop to succeed the late Bishop Cole
To many this task appears easy. Call
convention and choose the man who has a ma
jority of votes paying some regard to the wishes
OF the larger churches is the way many laymen
and some clergymen evidently think a new
bishop should be made.
The church law, however, takes no such view.
1t has surrounded the election of a bishop with
many safeguards. The bishop must be chosen
by two-thirds of the olergymen regardless OF the
importance of the parishes they represent and
the election must be ratified by majority of the
laymen. The choice of the diocese must then be
approved by the higher authorities of the church
at large. There is no reason to believe, however,
that the bishop agreed upon by the clergy and
laity of the diocese would be rejected by the
Church at large.
The first step is yet to be taken The clergy
have not united upon bishop There seems to
be an opinion that as soon as the ministers an
nounce their choice Of bishop, he will be approved
by the laymen. This may, or may not be true
Had the ministers chosen Rev Mr. Thomas at
the convention in this city, it was believed at the
time that the laymen would have ratified their
decision.
There is a disposition among some of the
Episcopal churchmen, and the ministers also, to
think that the delay in electing a bishop is to
their discredt. This strikes us as a strange no
ton. If the Episcopal Church were one in doc
trine or rather in Interpretation of doctrine the
electing of bishop would be an easier task than
it is. But it must be remembered that under the
elastic interpretations Of Episcopal bell
OF widely different opinions are within the
Shurch's told. For example, in this diocese W,

We. the residents of the neighbor-

BY 10 p. m, as far as the residents
are concerned. the quiet of the proven
bial country churchyard prevails.
Standing in the street on Poplar street
between Tenth and Twelfth a saloon
Is not in sight, yet we seem to be the
victims of all the drunken loafers IN
town-white and black. Last winter
a gang of drunken negro rowdies made
a rendezvous on the southeast corner
Of Eleventh and Popular streets. They
made night hideous. At length we
were rid Of the black rufians. Now a
gang OF white ruffians congregate
there. Monday night as you know.
the night was warm. and windows Of
bed chambers were up. Some thirty
families. 800 people at least, were
compelled to listen to some dozen
drunken loafers for a full hour. Bias
phemy, profanity. vile, shocking, dis
gusting obscenity, maudlin drunken
quarrels. Where We're the police?
Now a word. Last fall we had a
local option campaign. Some OF us
down here were undecided how to
vote. We heard appeals as to per
sonal liberty" "tyrannical power"
etc. And so some of US voted for Ill
lcense" or did not vote at all. Just

on a bunch OF votes in this neighbor-

the saloons to unload a crowd Of
drunken, vulgar scoundrels on our

THE MAYORS DUTY.

IT HE investigation Of the Water Department
4 and the examination of other departments
OF the city government, which was made by MT.
Gleason, the accountant, shows that there Is
ample room for improvement in the citys meth
ods of doing business. How much money could
be saved to the taxpayers by reforms in city man
agement is a question, but it is one well worth
considering
Doubtless if practical and sensible methods OF
municipal government were adopted and II some
OF the suggestions Of Mr.. Gleason should be tol-
lowed there would be large saving OF the pub
lie funds and we should have the money to use
for real municipal improvements-tor the inn
provement Of the streets, the parks, and the
schools.
The interest Of the public is, or should be, to
see that the ctys affairs are well managed, that
unnecessary positions are not created in the citys
service and that salaries are not inordinately
large The public expects those in authority to
take the lead in a plan to bring about these de-
sirable results.
Mavor Wilson has started Investigations and
examinations to find out the actual status of our
municipal affairs in the hope that Improvements
can be made which will give the taxpayers more
for their money.
There has been disposition to sneer at the
mayor and to intimate that he has been spurred
on in obedience to the commands OF alleged po-
litical masters. This criticism, designed to
thwart the investigation OF the Water Depart
ment, and to protect those who may be affected
by any disclosures that may be made, is unjust
to the mayor. He should be judged only by
what is accomplished
The mayor should pursue his course solely
with purpcle of benefting the city government
He should not be swerved from his path by any
suggestions that may be whispered into his ear
by selfish designers who look upon politics and
municipal affairs simply field for their own
private exploitation
The one purpose Of all this investigation and
examination should be to perfect the city govern
ment And if the city government is improved,
if money is saved to the taxpayers, and if we
have more funds to spend for municipal better
ments; the credit for all this will rebound not
only to the mayor and those who have assisted
him, but also to the political party and the peo-
pie that placed the present administration in
Office.

THE STRENUOUS LIFE
Pulls So Hard on the Stomach II Must

The stress and strain Of the stren-

suffer to-day where one did ten years

fore the eyes, bloating, nervousness,
sleeplessness and the many other
symptoms of indigestion.
All who are suffering with stomach
troubles. and that means at least two
out OF three In Wilmington ana other
towns. should use Mi-o-na stomach
tablets. Nothing else Is as safe, yet
effective; nothing else can be so thor

I see that the Eastern Railway Con-

contract to build the new line from

this company may see its way clear to
give a preference TO wilmington labor
in building the line. There are hun
dreds of able bodied and willing men
in Wilmington who would be glad Of
an opportunity TO WELD a pick or
shovel on the railway, and 1 am sure
they would do as good a days work
as any other men who could be hired.
Aside from that. is 1t not local men

have heard rector, preaching upon the Apostles
Creed, declare that it was not to be taken liter
ally but that the men who formulated it were in
a sublime trance, as it were, and the creed was
expressed in the language of poetry We have
heard on the other hand, another Episcopal rec
tor preach on the resurrection, interpreting that
event in its most literal and orthodox sense
The form Of worship in the Church differs as
widely as the views OF the rectors as expounded
from the pulpits Hence a divergence OF opinion
as regards the qualifications of a bishop is to o,
expected. The hitch over the election of the
bishop seems to be the Guardianship" of the

When we sell a suit we want it

LATE BUYING MAKES
ATTRACTIVE MER-
CHANDISE Offerings

During a trip to New York the past two
weeks we "scoOped" some of the most at
tractive merchandise Of the year at our own
prices. Owing to the extreme dullncss in
the New York trade merchants were more
eager to dispose Of their stocks than at any
time we have ever known. We want to
turn the goods into the cash as quickly as
possible and in order to do SO we are going
to offer you now from day to day, for the
CASH, some of the strongest inducements
to separate you from your coin that we
ever yet offered. Understand this is not
lot of hot air. We mean buSiness---these
goods were bought by us to sell and sell
rapidly and if you will come and look over
our many offerings you will readily recog-
nize the merits of the goods and prices. We
are not offering trash, but the BEST MER-
.CHANDISE, which we find from expert
ence is what the people want. We invite
you to come, criticise, examine--you'll buy.
