Eleven Tramps TunReI Out of the New
Castle Jail.

Eleven TrRmps TunRei Out of the New
Castle Sail.
Special correspondence EVENING JOURNAL.
NEW CASTLE, Del, December BE
tween and 4 o'clock yesterday morn
ing eleven tramps, Patrick Henry,
Patrick McGinnis, Patrick Grimes, Pat
rick o Brien, Patrick Dougherty, Charles
Bowers, George TrRvers, Isaac Hayden,
Elden HagsRy, John Thompson and
Thomas Peters escaped from the "bum"
cell at the New Castle Jail
They were all common prisoners, i'm
prisoned for the minor offences of vag-
rancy and drunkenness, and the term of
three or more would have expired yester-
day and to-day The men escaped by
prying mp some OF the boards Of
the floor and then digging their
way ont under the foundations
with tin cups. Eighteen prisoners ex-
capped in the same manner recently. The
hole they dug under the foundations had
been filed up, but those who escaped
yesterday dug out the earth that had
been used to fill in.
There were eighteen prisoners in the
cell, but seven Of them declined to leave
their quarters. Some Of them who re.
manned were only stopping for a nights
lodging and the term Of others will soon
expire. Sheriff Allen has offered no
reward for the capture OF the men, but
officers are OH their track.
No blame can be laid on either the two
wardens or sheriff for this general de-
livery from the bum CELL for the reason
that II is not their place to fix the floors
Of the several cells. IL Is the duty Of
the Jail commissioners to look into this
matter or they will not be able TO
hold any person put in the prison. AS
it is, the most famous prisoner remarked
to your correspondent yesterday. "a
child could get out Of such jail as this,

THE sIcNs OF THE TIMES.


There is a great difference between the
real free trade and the bugaboo of appre-
hended disaster which the ignorant man
imsgines and the beneficiary Of the
robber tariff threatens.
Both are wrong, the one from avarice
and selfshness, the other from stupidity
or csrelessness. Stupidity and careless
ness are gradually disappearing but
avarice aud selfshness become bolder and
more blatantly threatening as the fall
iacies, which they have been profting by,
are swept aside with the march Of intel
Mgence.
When the Pan-American delegates
were at Cincinnati, even so inveterate a
protectionist as John sherman ventured
to say that there was a certain kind Of
free trade which, under certain conditions,
he should be glad to see. Mr. Butter
worth, another Ohio protectionist, who
during his long service in the House has
never failed to support his party's policy
regarding the tariff, is an open and no
tOrious free trader with regard to deal
ings with Canada
There are numerous orthodox Republi-
can journalists Of the Northwest aud

MIDDLE STATES LEAGUE.
Meeting In Harrisburg To-day-No Int
est Felt by Local Base Ball Men.

Meeting In Harrisburg To-day-No Inter
est Felt by Local Base Ball Men.
The Philadelphia Press of yesterday
printed the following:
Although not financial success, the
Middle States League of last season
proved to be just what its organizers ex-
pected it would be, and that was a model
for more substantial base ball organiza-
ton The Middle States League had
contract which gave players more rights
than is afforded them by any other base
ball organization in existence, and its sal
airy limit plan was the strongest and most
respected of any similar scheme.
"The Middle States contract in itself
was an easy employment agent It's
broad views and total absence of reserva-
tion powers secured for it $125 and $3.50
per month players for $75
ITO morrow Harrisburg will be visited
by base ball representatives from
Altoona, Williamsport, Reading, Lancas-
ter, Lebanon, York, Wilmington, Allan
tic City, Easton, Allentown, Scranton
and WillSes-Barre This will be the
largest representation of PENNSYLVANIA
base ball men ever assembled OF course.
all the cities named will not be admitted
but the convention will have the chance
of lifetime TO pick a combination of
cities which will make the new league
the strongest base ball organization ever
established in Pennsylvania.
"The inviting feature Of this proposed
new league is the salary limit. AS far as
playing strength is concerned under
such plan, Easton, for instance, with
its 40, 900 population to draw from, is
placed on an equal footing with Scranton,
which boasts Of having go 600 people
Under a 500 or $10O per month limit
any Of the foregoing named cities can
not fail to meet with success. Heretofore,
Easton, Allentown, Wilkes-Barre and
Scranton have been paying salaries which
averaged $175 per month, and
the owners Of these clubs wondered
why they lost money. They
know now, for when the writer visited
them last week and introduced the Mid
die States League salary system they
became Immediately interested and de-
cided to pick up the bat and cline her
out" just once more for fun. Keep your
eyes on Harrisburg tomorrow
Local base ball men say they know
nothing Of the scheme to have Whining
ton represented in the Middle States
League. No one seems to be interested
enough TO know whether this city will
have delegate at to days meeting The
opportunity is good one, and now is
the time to get to work for next season.
The experience of last year shows that
there is a possibility that q club can be
made to pay in this city.
Evening journal., 1889-12-02


On Saturday herd of colored men,
who could not read their own names,
men who signed their names even by
'his marks" were marched mp to the
tax-ofiice by Attorneys" who offered to
pay their poll taxes, and Of course, keep
possession of their certificates of suff-
rage. 1t is by imposing upon the credul-
lily of such ignorant cattle as these that
the baser clement Of the Republican
party is endeavoring to obtain control Of
Delaware, as of all other Southern statef.
There are various pleas by which these
attempts to debauch the negro are iusti-
fed so as to keep the decent element OF
the Republican party from a rebellion Of
disgust The pleas are false, and they
are made to excuse assaults on the free
dom and purity Of the ballot and as a
cloak to evade the local laws.
The only object to be gained in every
case is that few white Republicans Of
unsavory regulations, and often renegades
from the Democratic party, may obtain
Office. All of this serves to degrade the
negro, TO degrade suffrage, to overthrow
free institutions and to replace intelli-
gence and patriotism with ignorance and
venality.
The point these statesmen expected to
make was that as attorneys" for Il sufi
cient number Of absent snd alleged ne
groes they could obtain enough cer-
tifcates to carry the elections in every
ward. It is a very neat and comprehen-
sive scheme by which the Bach Mahaffy-
Chambers-Hersey gang could keep re-
quislte majority for every election locked
up in the safe OF the Young Mems Re-
publican Club.
former Legislature has been wise
enough to imagine precisely this case.
They knew that the negr oes were ignor-
ant and chat under the manipulations Of
just such men as seem to be the repre-
sentatives Of Republicanism in Delaware,
they would naturally become venal The
Legislature put on the statute books a
law which is intended TO check the venGl
negro and the lawless and rsscally white
man who makes use Of him as an enemy
of the state.
The payment Of a poll-tax is the next
step after assessment to qualify a man
for voting. 1t is really part Of the duty
of suffrage. It cannot be delegated. a
man may not vote by proxy, so he may
not pay for and hold his certificate by
proxy. The law intends to protect the
state against the ignorant, tho venal, the
bribed and unqualified voter. The state
which is the peoples anxious to pre-
serve the purity Of the ballot; hence tn,
law requiring a man TO pay poll-tax foi
himself, to register and to vote for him
self Any other sort Of voter is an ille
gal voter and should be arrested.
The collectors are doing right in ex-
eluding all bribed voters. They ar,
doing their duty in preventing, when
possible, such clear cases of bribery al
those aihdavits signify.
ANY honest man may pay his poll-t0x.
Any difficulty in doing so is an evidenc,
that he is a dishonest and venal voter
whom the state prohibits from voting

THE Dover Sentinel, Republican,
objects to the new postmaster at Hartly
because in appointing him Senator Hig
gins ignored the wishes Of the people.
The Sentinel says:
Il is not often that United States
Senator will thus stultifY his public ut
terRnces made before audiences in all
parts Of the stste-that he would re-
Bpect the wishes Of the people Of the sew
eral localities where Offices were located,
and appoint TO office those whom the said
localities desired. But il Is equally
rare that United States
Senator will for weeks lay under the
charge OF having government employe
from one Of the folding and pRsting
rooms at Washington acting as his pri-
vate secretary. So that the people OF
Delaware have as one OF their Senators
not only double accident but very
rare one.
Senator Higgins seems to be pursuing
the plan OF President Harrison and is
pleasing himself in his appointments.
He seems also easily pleased.
