Special Correspondence EVENING JOURNAL.
NEW CASTLE, Dec. 9.-In an interview
with big Frank" the burglar, this
morning. in the New Castle jail, in refer
ence to the robbery at Wilmington on
Saturday, he states that the method used
was one that was in vogue several years
ago and is hardly used at all now. No one
but experts in their line would have at
tempted such daring crime. Continu-
ing, he says: ''in all probability Mr.
Patterson has been watched for
the past month or two and his every
action closely noted He states that
robbers of this class ara dare devils dur
ing daylight, but at night will not at
tempt robbery at all. Continuing:
There is every reason to believe that
the men are residents of Wilmington, and
it Ia presumably, these identical means
used to steal the tax receipts which were
stolen some time back.
Another policeman has been added to
the force, making in all, five.

NEWSPAPER OPINION.
One Cent Postage.

0Ht NAhh AonNhkts
The Independent
One cent postage is a near possibility,
and nearer one than the Postmaster
General seems to think. We believe that
Mr.. Wanamaker, who shows so clear
conception of what the postal service
should be and may be. will himself inau-
gurate this with many other improve
ments The answer 10 his hesitation is
given by himself when he SAYS "The
postal service is not money making
enterprise. II is not intended to be- 1t is
a mistake to expect II to be self-sustain-
Ing until It Is fully perfected Suppos-
ing that the first year the reduction OF
rate should reduce the re-
ceipts by fifteen million dollars; that
would be a tax Of less than 25 cents
apiece for the support Of the postal ser
vice. We cannot use our income better.
Every cent of IL comes back, in value, to
the people, and in very short time the
increased service will cover the now esti-
mated deficiency. We erect post office
buildings, custom houses and court
houses, not as we now need them, but as
we expect to need them. Why do we do
it2 As y safe and needed investment,
for the ultimate good of the
people. Why blow He'll Gate out
OF the East river; Com
merce had endured the obstruction and
could do it a while longer. But public
interest demanded the removal OF the OBJ.
struction. 1t was an investment for the
future. Why spend millions on millions
for lighthouses? They are an Investment.
What are railroads and canals and tele-
graphs and cables, but investments, each
one heavy expense beyond immediate
profit, but required for the public goodl
Why does Secretary Tracy ask for a
score and ultimately perhaps a
hundred millions to build war
ships-seven times more than would pay
the immediate expense of one-cent post
agel There is not even a probability
that those war ships will ever pay a
dividend, but we want them as an in
vestment against possible time Of war.
Give us Immediately one-cent postage for
one ounce letter, and then we shall
have touched bed rock at one point.
There will be no more to say on that
subject, and then we can turn to the
parcels post, the postal savings banks,
the postal telegraph service, the general
free delivery and all the other improve
ments that are sure to come, and that
ought TO be introduced before they vii
pay for themselves.

THE frequent jail deliveries at New
Castle is causing considerable comment
1t is just hard to place the blame where
it should rest, although the Levy Court
should see TO it that the jail building is
kept iD a perfectly safe condition at all
times. The escape of so many prisoners
whose crime is merely vagrancy while
not vitally important to the community.
yet tho example set OF walking out of
durance vile whenever freedom is de-
sired, robs the law Of It's power and re
fleets discredit on our county officials
And all this is another argument in
favor Of making the prisoners sent to
New Castle earn their bread by labor. -

quent and they have never been import
ant, but still they should be stopped. The
recommendation above is very good.
Tho EVENING JOURNAL has frequently
suggested that the prisoners should
be put to work. The wide
spread distress from lack OF work and
the failure Of crops makes 1t necessary
for our county iinanciers to practice every
possible economy One great economy
will be that of making the prisoners
earn their own living, or at least do some
benefit to the county. At present they
are burden on the community To
enlarge the jail and increase the number
Of guards viii be an additional burden on
the county The prisoners should be
put to work on the roads Delaware
needs good roads. The farmers suffer
great Inconvenience and frequently
great loss because they cannot transport
their produce to market over the muddy
roads. The merchants in the city cannot
obtain supplies regularly and the whole
community suffers more or less incon-
venience and loss from bad roads. The
prisoners might be put to work on the
roads with advantage to the county and
themselves, The objections to the use
Of prison labor are sentimental vagaries /;
the result Of over-wrought sympathy or

Unrealism on the stage.

New York Independent.
A Jewish journal has been protesting
against our stage Jew, and especially
against the comic one. 1t complains that
1t is not type but caricature, and goes
on to say that it would not be endured
but for almost universal ignorance that
prevails among us of what Jew is like.
I'VE have known people of respectable
middle-class standing who, on meeting a
jew at a social gathering for the first
time, have been quite surprised TO find
that he spoke English" How people who
frequent theatres should be unacquainted
with Jews, seems strange indeed; for
there are plenty Of them in the theatres.
They are a theatre.loving race. The
comic Jew, it is true, is rare There are
plenty Of Jews in real life for the play
wright to draw from; and IL he draws
them i'll, the likeness cannot certainly be
ascribed to the causes IL suggests.
