NEW CHARTER FOR THE CITY.

HE BOARD OF TRADE is taking up the pro-
Il ject for a new and urgently needed charter for
Wilmington in a commendable manner. With an
earnest attempt to have framed charter bill along
business lines devoid of partisan features, and
having principally in view the berterment of gov
ernmental conditions, it would seem that it should
be successful, yet the people have in mind many
futile attempts at new charter legislation in the
General Assembly When the legislative test comes
the partisan lines generally are drawn and the
charter fails of enactment At least that has been
the history of past efforts TO have enacted a new
charter We recall how the Board of Trade char
ter bill that was framed few years ago by able
men was defeated when called up in the State
Senate, the Republican and Democrat members diff
ferng along party lines as to the measure. We
recall too, that the generally supposed Board of
Trade bill was repudiated on the floor of the Sem
ate as really not having the endorsement of the
Board of Trade. This measure had many admir-
able features but politicians of both parties frank
ly admitted that they did not like it.
Now the Hon. James c. Berryhill is to visit Will
mington under the auspices of the Board of Trade
and at public meeting Is Nts- e&plain the Des
MONIES, Iowa piaR>of eity governments IN which
/ FIVE men elected at large from the city conduct
the municipality. The Board is starting out with
the important idea of harmoniziug in respect to
features of the proposed charter bilk that might
invite partisan opposition, and the plan to nave
leading lawyers and men of Republican and Demo-
cratic parties TO voice their ideas and attitude on
CnarteTf leBlSldllOn SuOulQ CIySldiuLC ScHlHlSHl
and do much to presage whether Wilmington will
get new charter.
As the situation exists neither political
party could enact a charter embodyng its part-
san ideas unless it could marshal two-thrds of
the members of each branch of the Legislature.
That seems out of the question, judging from the
results of previous elections in Delaware and
neither party places much dependence in obtain
ing votes from the opposite party to enact apart-
san charter. In this connection we recall sage
remark made some years ago by Francis S. Brad
ley, now deceased who active in Republican
politics His belief was that Wilmington could
not obtain a new charter until the political lead
ers of both parties we're satisfied with the pro-
posed bill Having this in mind, he suggested that
a prominent Republican lawyer-politician and a
prominent Democratic lawyer-potician, both of
whom he named be commissioned to draft char
ter bill After they get through either party that
has political advantage in the bill on which they
agree would be entitled TO it, and the city could
get good charter" was Mr. Bradleys conclusion

BABY'S BIRTHDAY
M. c. Robbins.

The sun will shine so bright today,
The flowers will be so bright,
Well be so happy Wen forget,
That there can come a night.
Just seven years ago to-day,
God sent across our way,
The sweetest, brightest little boy,
And this is his birthday
And since that day to, us has come,
So much of peace and JOY,
For he has made our home so bright
That little baby boy.
He scampers all about the house,
And sings along the way,
He's done it now for seven years,
For this is his birthday.
He climbs in our arms so oft,
And tells us of his love-,
His little heart we know is pure,
Like unto that above.
He fills our home with sunshine,
We hope he'll with us stay,
We've had him now for seven years,
For this is his birthday.
Wen try to raise him for the skies,
So when his days are done,
He'll happy be beyond the stars,
Beyond the setting sun.
We want to have him when we go,
Where angels sing their lay,
But now he's very happy here,
For this is his birthday.
Wen all be home up there some day
Beyond the swelling tide,
Where faithful ones are sure to meet
Forever to abide.
Oh, then we want our baby there,
We're going there to stay,
Well have our birthday one and all,
In the eternal day

REPUBLICANS SATISFIED.

ONDITIONS in the Republican party in Della
- ware are so harmonious that il seems alb
surd for anybody to suggest even through Demo
cratic sources, that somebody be put forward as
an opponent to Congressman William II. Healds
denomination in the approaching State convention.
We believe that a substantial majority of Della
wareans is satisfied with the results obtained by
Dsawares representatives at Washington and
with the record of the Republican administration
of the State, and it can safely be predicted that
Congressman Heald will be renominated and
probably unanimously, by the Republican conven-
ton. Possibly conditions too harmonious for
some Republicans when they enlist the aid of
Democratic newspape' to try to start Congress-
ional boom that will ct no further than the news

bought for an athletic field, not playground, but
atsdoes not mitigate the fact that ii IS far from
the populous centers or that the price is much
higher than many persons believe should have
been paid. While The Star contends, on the au-
thority of certain real estate men, that the price
is reasonable, we have opinions that other real
estate men regard the price paid by the city as
excessive. Possibly the price of land at four. dol
lars,a foot block from the tract for which the
city paid more than $40 foot, and the price of
$4,000 set upon the Horse Show Park of more
than twenty acres of fine land, much better sit
uated, certainly do not tend to bear out that the
price of $4,000 for the four an one-half acres
bought by the finance committee Of Council is rea-
sonable
The Star also puts much stress upon a statement
enormously made in The Journal that the Ford
tract was opposite the houses of the Woodlavn
Company in which William p Bancroft, who hap
pens to be president of the Park Commission, is in
terested. We gave no insinuation against Mr.. Ban
croft which impression, however, our contempor-
ary seeks TO convey. The Star TO give fair inn
preston easily could have seen and said that
The Journal the following day explicitly stated
that it was wrong in saying that the land was
opposite the woodawn Companys houses. Had
the land bought by the city been opposite the
houses referred TO there could not have been
such criticism Of the price as the purchase of the
Ford tract has afforded.
We still think that Council bundered and paid
an excessive price for the property, and it would
have been to the best interests of the playground
cause and to the city's finances if the land had
not been bought under the conditions that existed.
