Ir is useless to try to break up the
Solid South by buying few protection
lists. The Republican party is able now
and has always been able to masatain a
following in the South. There are always
men in every community who are for sale
for pelf or patronage. The proposition
now is 10 cajole the South with the falla-
cious plea that she needs protection to
develop her industries. After hiring and
buying newspapers to promulgate this
theory and throw the sop Of office to a
few beggars and nondescripts, the ad-
ministration will consider that the South
has been reconquered. Perhaps that
may be so. but il is doubtful
if the promoters Of this purchase
will prove more successful than Grant,
Hayes and Garfield have been The
South does not need protection and those
Southern men who may be bought OF
cajoled win Immediately lose any infu
ence that they may have had before this
bargain. The South viii likely remain
solid as long as the solid negro vote i.

ONE Of the chief faults of the common
school system seems to be that it does
not teach the English language 1t is as
rare as it is charming to lis
ten to correct speaking and read
ing Loud reading would seem the
easiest. most national and the most uni
versal Of all requirements. But there
are many girls aud boys who cannot read
an ordinary newspaper article with intel
lgence. There are many more who
cannot write an ineligible account Of
the most ordinary events which occur
within their knowledge. The simple
arts that every child is expected
TO know are the very arts Of which they
are most lamentably ignorant. There
was successful teacher in one of the
Southern states whose pupils carried off
a large portion Of the honors for which
they contended simply because they were
taught the use and beauty Of the English
language. He was perhaps a crank on the
subjects Of reading, speaking and writ
ing but he said that no boy should es.

how to write and read an advertisement

things more beautiful, nothing more use
ful, but he was always sure that the boys
knew how to do the simple things first

Catching at straws.

Sussex Journal.
The Importance of calling a Constitu.
tional Convention on the basis of vote al
ready had win be recognized at once by
all those who noted the eagerness with
which the opponents Of conven-
tion caught at straw which was thrown
out during the debate ON the subject in
the House The straw was thrown out by
friend of convention whe made the
point that, as there was no official record
Of the vote for represen-
tatives at the last three elec-
tions, we could not strictly follow
the requirement that the vote for a con
vention be equal to the largest vote cast
at any one Of the three preceding cleo
tions, without first holding three more
elections and keeping a record Of the vote
cast for representatives thereat, which
would bring us up to 1894 before we
could even think about voting on the sub
ject again. This point was seized at once
by the opponents Of a convention and
used for all it was worth in an effort to
calm the raging desire for reform until
in the fullness OF time 1894 shall roll
around when we can again be permitted
TO say what we want

THE proposition that idleness begets
crime is as old as the everlasting hills
II has proved as true as truth itself and
it is as true now as when truth was first
established Two weeks ago convict Of
Sing Sing, New York, was driven insane
by idleness. Upon investigation many
other cases of partial and some cases of
absolute mental dethronement were dis
covered The general mental and physi
cal condition Of the prisoners was deplor-
able. Referring to this matter the New
York Tribune says;
Solitary confinement without occupa-
tion will overthrow the strongest mind.
Confinement which is not solitary tends
always to the debauching of the convicts
subjected TO il. To herd together the
viciously trained and inclined, and de-
prlve them of engrossing work, is to
open a regular academy of crime, out Of
which win graduate with the highest dis
honor those who entered the prison tyros
and neophytes. Lawmakers too obtuse
to realize the extent of the wrong done
the convicts in exposing them to these
debasing influences may be acute enough
to perceive that if our prisons are so
managed as TO make criminals worse
instead Of better, the public win have to
pay high price for this experiment in
the steady growth and intensifcation of
crime.
The foregoing applies to the New Cas-
tie convicts. Employment for the con
yicts there has been suggested by the
last grand jury, by DR.. j. j. Black Of
New Castle, the physician Of the jail, and
by Sheriff Allen. Employment has been
recommended by almost all writer's on
political economy, by all church courts
and by the experience Of all
the ages. 1t has been condemned
only by the labor unions and the other
silly fads which are now almost out Of
fashion. The Legislature need not wait
for some one to prepare bill and send to
them ON this subject. Ten lines on the
ordinary form would be sufficient to SO.
cure work for the convicts on the public
road, and any legislator who can read
and write might prepare such bill II
will be necessary only to propose a sensi-
BILE measure to accomplish two good re-
suits, viz, better roads and better con
dition for the prisoners.

Alarming Epidemic OF Scarlet Fever.

Ainrmtnk Epidemic OF scarlet EeFers
The official statistics Of deaths in New
York city last week show that scarlet
fever is raging TO a fearful extent
There were seventy one deaths last week,
against an average of only seventeen for
the corresponding week Of the past five
years. The Sanitary Bureau adds
More deaths from scarlet fever occurred
during the week ending April inst
than in any week since that ending April
%, 1882, when there were seventy
eight
During last month there were 1.709
deaths from this malady, against Glib
during March, 1888. The Herald pointed
out in February that the mortality rate
from this cause had risen and was rising
rapidly 1t is evident that there must
be some unusual reason for such fatality
which the Health Department has not dis
covered, or, at least, has not removed.
II should be said however. in behalf of
the Health Department that the present
is the meteorological period when scar
let fever is most frequent in this region
The American hygienist, DIR. Robe,
states: Taking the records Of the city
of New York from 1871 to 1877 it appears
that from scarlet fever the maximum
(mortality) was in April, the minimum in
September The anomalous tempera-
ture and humidity Of the current season
may therefore in part explain the pres
ent epidemic.
But it is important for families to
guard their children against contact with
the disease in the street cars and all pub
lie places where the infection is likely to
be encountered School teachers should
also exercise the utmest vigilance in pro
tecting their pupils from exposure to the
disease. New York Herald

of every brand and quality. He sup

and importers and can furnish under
guarantee any brand of native or i'm
ported wine that his customers desire.
His earlier years were passed in a
country of wines and vineyards, and
he has sufficient acquaintance with
the wine business to justify his claim
to be able to supply all calls for pure
wines at the lowest prices. Intend
ing purchasers are requested to in.
vestigate his prices, etc, before plac.
