TRUE VIEWS FROM THE PRESS.

Where~e< there Is a new charter movement ft is openly declared that st b for the improvement of municipal administration IL Is not quite clear whether the reflection of inefficient government Is most upon the old char ter or upon the officials who took ad- vantnEe of Its omissions to do things which were unpopular and perhaps unwine.
 The pr-ss usually takes a correct view of the new charter movements. The consensus of opinion seems to be that if the men ft the charter who are called to administer its provisions oil will be well. but that q new char tor Am hands out of sympathy with fi is not much of an improvement upon any old thing"
 PfttsheId Mass. is working along these lines. and since Norwich is. too, q few quotations from the papers will h~ interesting fo the readers of The Bulletin.
 The Berkshire Eagle says:
 The single and paramount fact for the people of this city who are inter ested in the adoption of a new char ter for Pittsheld is that no effort should be spared to secure charter that will put the best men in office. As has so often been said: A good charter can be made useless by bad men. while a poor charter adminis- tered by good men can give good government"
 Of course. It Is not up to the charter to put the best men in office. but up to the people 10 make the charter ef- fecfive by putting competent men in of1ce to enforce it's provisions.
 The North Adams Mass, Tran script says: "The quality of the gov ernmsnt of any city depends more up- on the men in charge than it does upon the charter"
 Tho Rutland, Vt. News which rep resents . city that is moving along thsse same lines. says:
 shortcomings in city government are not due to the charters. That many of the charters may be i'm proved is doubtless true-RutlnnGs s present charter. greatly improved as it *s over its predecessor, is not what il ytould be-but the cities that are looking for redemption through charter amendment alone are doomed 10 Disappointment" N
 The fact is. there is considerations action and good judgment resting up- on the people of these cities. an6 if their duties are only performei in q perfunctory manner and bad gnvcrii- r1ent results, the fault IS with the voters. not with fhe officials Good government Is the fruit of good cis. izenship.

To LIMIT LIQUOR SALES BY DRUGGISTS.

During the present session Of the Gen.
eral Assembly a bill will be introduced
to place a limit on the, sale of intoxicants
by druggists. The bill will be first in
troduced in the Senate and one of the
Senators is now working on and con-
sidering the measure to be offered. It is
proposed to make the limit 200 gallons
annually. 1t is claimed that this is not
exactly dry measure, or one that the
dry element is especially active in, but
that such law is needed to protect many
druggists of the State and especially those
in the two lower counties. Ever since
the nolicense law went into effect, three
years ago, in Kent and Sussex counties,
there have been many complaints about
the quantity of liquor sold by some drug
gists ION prescription" 1t is thought
that such a Dill as is contemplated would
have the desired effect and that 200 gal
Ions annually is as much as any druggist
would sell purely medicinal purposes.

STOP TRAINS IN DANGER.

The Pennsylvania State Railroad Com.
mission, and railroad officials have pro-
nounced the apparatus OF the Railway
Automatic Safety Appliance Company
for bringing trains to stop within closed
block, a great success. The appliance
was invented by Edgar NJ. Cain, a con-
ductor on the Pennsylvania Railroad and
manager of the company. 1t was at
tached to the regular signal system at
Broad street on the Oregon avenue tracks
Of the Pennsylvania Railroad. The sig
nails were set at danger, thus closing the
block, and the engine, with the automatic
safety appliance fastened to the guard,
hauling train of freight cars and one
passenger car rushed into the closed block
at 45 miles an hour, and was stopped
within 1909 feet. A glass of water re-
on the window sill of the passen-
ger coach without being overturned.

PREPARING Two IMPORTANT BILLS.

With view to lessening the expenses
now incident to trials of minor cases be.
fore the criminal courts of the State, Sem
ator Marshall is preparing a bill giving
final jurisdiction to inferior courts in mis-
demeanors and some felony cases, where
1t is not considered necessary to send such
cases to the upper courts. 1t is also pro
posed to provide for frequent sittings of
one OF the judges in each county for the
special purpose of dispOsing Of the cases
very shortly after they develop. la Will
mington this will not be necessary, as the
City Court can be given this authority.
Something of this kind has been advo-
Gated for some time by the grangers of
the State, who believe a great deal of
money can be saved by the counties, in
view OF the fact that the boarding of pris
oners awaiting trial will be practically
unnecessary, and it will not be necessary
to require witnesses in petty cases to wait
around the courts for several days until
they are called or discharged, all of which
costs money, 1t is said that in Kent
County alone last year the witness fees
amounted to about $1,000, and Senator
Marshall believes much of this could have |
been saved if the cases could have been
OF quickly, as is proposed in the
act. The bill will be introduced in the
1t also has been learned that State
Senator Marshall, with the cooperation
and assistance of Senators Monaghan and
JOrbit, is drafting a bill providing for a
of labor for Delaware, which
{ is proposed to introduce in the Senate
IS soon as that body is ready to receive
business. With the expectation Of pre-
enting such a bill Senator Marshall re- :
emily went to Washington and consulted i
FORKS relative to labor commissioners in
ther States and also it foreign countries.
While all of the details OF the Delaware
i'll haYe not been worked out, it was \
ated by one Of the Senators today that IL
will provide for the commissioner Of
bOr being the factory inspector also. ;

THE charter for Delaware College
will expire again on April 18th
next, and when the special COM
mittee which was appointed at the
last session of the legislature to in
vestigate and report a charter which
will forever put an end to the con-
tention as to the States control of
this valuable institution oflearning,
it was expected that the new charter
would be ready to present at the be-
ginning of the session. The State
has the right to have this matter
Of its ownership definitely defined.
and the recent investment of the
States money in valuable property
in connection with the college,
makes this all the more imperative.

THE news that Senator Marshall
S looking after the congested con.
ditiOn of the courts of Delaware,
and proposes to have a law framed
for presentation to the Legislature.
which will provide for giving the
inferior courts jurisdiction and
power to commit to Jail for thirty
days in certain cases, is welcome
indeed. Such power would relieve
the jails of many of its inmates,
save the counties large sums in
costs and expedite justice. There
should be no valid reason for the
Honorable Judges to the number
Of three to sit in solemn judgement
IN the case Of a petty thief who
stole fifty cent chicken and cause
the tax PAYERS to pay in costs POS
sibly hundred dollars to punish
the guilty rascal, when a Judge ST
ting in a lower court could dispose
4 all such cases at once and at the
fpense of less than FIVE dollars all

erm along this line, and it will

EVERY day when we pick up
paper one of the first things that
strikes our notice is death caused
by persons trespassing on the rail
roads of the country. Over $50,
600 people were killed and injured
in the United States the past year
on railroads. In many of these
cases, a big proportion Of them in
fact, the injuries were caused by
the carelessness of the persons hurt
A habit that has dated back from
the introduction of railroads may
be held responsible for this. This
IS the habit Of trespassing on the
railroad tracks. The railroads all
over the country are inaugurating
means of trying to lessen the num-
Der of accidents in this manner. but
until the large body of people de-
sist from using tracks as a public
thoroughfare the number of deaths
will be no less. A law should be
introduced, and passed, in the leg
islature prohibiting the use of rail-
Oad tracks as a thoroughfare.
