NIGHT MATCHES.

From the Montreal Daily Star.
Do you ever lie awake in the middle
Of the night.
The tumbled bed clothes kicking,
And trace the course OF Times slow
flight
BY the clocks insistent ticking?
Then sins so trivial in the days
clear light.
Are grown to crimes abhorrent.
And stream OF debts-in the mid
die OF the night
Swells to a mighty torrent
I delve deep down in the middle OF
the night,
The dead past disinterring;
Dim shapes file by in spectral white,
With voiceless lips comforting.
They gibber at sight OF my sore af-
fright,
But spite the ghostly warning.
The VOWS I make in the middle OF
the night
] break in the light OF the morn

Editor OF The Evening Journal
Sir: Down-State editors claim
all Wilmington papers are for the
charter. This is true, still they 90
not shut out opposing views. They
have been liberal with space for our
criticism. and we have been liberal
with copy. II all opposers had
ioined with US, the charter would
have been swamped weeks ago. The
charter, as drawn, cannot be passed.
il is time for intelligent reconstruc-
ton. As I believe the draft Is ba-
sicalIy wrong and dangerous we DO
not want TO be bound by It.
Many pin-point objections can be
raised against it. But there are three
mountainous objections which lie in
front OF Il: 1T denies free
election. 2.-There is a grant OF
unlimited powers. 3.-There Is an
illegal combining of two depart
ments in one body. A few resolving
clubs cannot brush these aside. They
are ponderous and fatal. The clubs
do not comprise one hundred thou
sand people, but only small frac-
ton OF the city And then there is
the state, the most important fac
tor OF all.
AS far back az 1875. under Ed
ward /, Parliament arrived with the
right OF election. Later the BIZ
OF Rights was granted and provided
that elections to parliament ought
TO be free" IL this was granted

when people largely lived surround--
ee by forests, ought this freedom to
be taken away simply because Will
mington has become a great indus--
trial metropolis? The Bill OF Rights
originated in a despotic kingdom.
Shall we take it away in "the gar

ter is boundless in its grant of pow
ers; there is no reservation except =
the city's action must not violate the
Constitution" On its face II clearly
violates this highest law. The Leg
islature cannot yield up its whole
right to rule in the city. Every State
statute which is general must rule in
every inch Of the State. It would be
monstrous for the city TO have power
to repeal the State statutes. Now in
all earnestness, why not allow the
city commission to amend or abolish
the Constitution? Why not allow
half the State to rule IL all? This or.
ganic law says that the State govern
ment shall rule both halves. The
State may, in a degree. appoint a
municipal agent. but It must be an !
agent with a string attachment. II
ought not to be necessary TO say
that no overlooking powers should Z
be given TO five weak, nOn-partisan

New York league may say to the
contrary. The State government
must be republican throughout. from

lie. What the leagues enjoy at home
is good enough for Wilmington Let

Others however feel that il is too
fanciful an explanation and incline
to the belief that II is derived from
the Angio-Saxon word haeg. mean
ing a hedge. which was used also to
Indicate tho field enclosed by a
hedge. A word from the same origin
in old French, haie. also means field
or hedge and there arc numerous
villages in Normandy called Ia Hale,
derived from the same word.
The Hays were once numerous in
England but the name is now far
more usual in Scotland than in the
United States. Most OF the names
here are descended from Scotch an
cestors. De Haia and De Ia Hay
were old forms Of the name in Eng
land.
There is a prominent family OF
the name in the middle States de-
rived from a Scotch soldier who left
his native country i'm 1900 and took
service In the army OF the Elector
OF the Palatine. Eventually he set
tied in the United States and two OF
his sons served in the Revolution.
