Farmers of Kent and Sussex coun-
ties here is a specimen sentiment of
the politicians of New Castle county
as expressed in the EUery Evening
of last Thursday. They want the
taxpayers of Kent and Sussex cOun-
ties to pay political bill contracted
by themselves and for their own ben
eft. If Kent and Sussex counties
had not gone Democratic, and New
Castle county had saved the State
to the Democracy, their plea to pay
$4,000 out of the public money
would have a very little bit of sem
blance to right; but even this cannot
be said for the scheme. The Dem
ocratic party passed the Delaware
Force Bill two years ago, and Gov
emor Reynolds appointed the spec
ial constables for them-now let that
party pay their own election expen-
ses as the Republicans paid their
own. It is not right to take money
from the State Treasury to pay this
bill-but we have no doubt it would
be done if the State were not now
facing a deficiency in its finances.
Here is what the EUeyy Evening,
which has a spasm of virtue one day
and a it of rabid political measures
the next, has to say on the subject: !:
It is not surprising that the rab-
idly partisan Republican press of
this city and county should oppose
the payment by the Legislature Of
the bin incurred for the special con-
stables who served in Wilmington on
the day of the last general election.
They would oppose the payment Of
the bill by New Castle county also,
OF by any other authority, for that
matter. They do not want these
special constables paid at ell and yet
we have not heard a word from one
Of these papers in opposition to the
payment Of the horde Of special
United States deputy marshals who
were on duly in this city on election
day but who we're prevented by the
presence Of these special constables
from carrying out the Republican
programme Of overawing the honest
voters Of Wilmington and piling up,
by force and fraud, a majority large
enough to swindle the Democratic
voters of DelaWare out Of their un-
doubted majoptv These minions

For a STATE Prnitent'ary.

Notice mas been given in the Leg
islature Of an act to provide ior
State penitentiary. This is an i'm
nortant subject and one that the
LEGISLATURE will do we'll to give ma
ture consideration. The criminals
of our State are sentenced to imprls-
onment, sometimes for months, even
wars and in most cases it is no pun
;sbment to them at all They are
well fed kept warm and lead q lazy
idle life during their time OF SEN
tence.and at an entire outlay OF cost
to the State. This is subject oi
special interest to the people OF our
county. and we think every citizen
Of the county would be glad if the
LEGISLATURE provided a penitentlary
for the State. In the neighborlng
State of Maryland where they have a
state penitentiary, they do not have
the number of trials at their county
courts for petty crimes that we do IL
our State. 1t is thought that n
manv cases these petty crimes are
often committed so as to provide iol
themselves quarters and support
without labor. Should the Legisla
ture provide the penitentiary VIII
its workshops of various kinds II Il
highly probable that the number o
convicts will be lessened. There

our county AlmshOuse, and pauper
who are able, physically, work on Il
And why should our convicts be a
lowed to lead the lazy, idle life the
now do, when the paupers, who ar
= able, work is a question OF some IN
, portance
The Journal hopes that the Les
islature will provide for the State
penitentiary. When that is done til

can be gravely considered. 1t IS on

700 pieces, 500 distinct sorts

one of many kinds. This be-
ing so we must object to send
ing them out for copying or

The revolution in style de-
fes description. The collars,
capes and sleeves show the
greatest notifications. The
fashions have laid the world
under contribution. Last year
the Russian Moujik was levied
upon. This year the style
hunter has crossed Asia and
laid John Chinaman under
contribution for the Cape
Chinois.
In the same garment the
Jackets of Bulgaria and Eton

elements ofthe Tarter and the
Englishman in a single wrap.
Indeed he has not stopped at

THE DelatUarean raises q plea Tor
the old delinquent law, and favors
the bill introduced last week to re-
enact the disfranchising laws. There
once was a time when the collectors
of Kent county got every tax. or de-
livered the body of the taxable to
the Levy Courtand il the collectors
we're so disposed it can be done
again; but the political machine does
not want this, and purpose re enact
ing the gag law which has kept them
in power for so many years. Every
man should be compelled to pay his
poll tax, or the tax be repealed
Making it a qualification to vote is
all wrong and begets corrupt prae'
tiees. Collectors carry their own
marty men, or give out tax receipts
for them to be qualified by, and moi
infreorently default to the county
for this cause alone. Let the elec
tion law alone and spare the STATE
any partisan legislation, for Delaware
has been afflicted with this kind o
legislative work until her treasury
faces a deficit, and the appropriation
which should be made to State inst
tutions are refused on the plea o
poverty.

The Grsedy Grabb rs
TE0e,y Evening Dem ]

EUegy EIeHfng g-DeH ]
It heats anything ever before seen
at Dover-the greed of schemers
who are coming before this General
Assembly with devices to legislate
somebody else out OF office and them
selves in. Every day brings forth
some new grab game in this line.
First it was the Coloners' Physician
bill.which the House under the lead
ership of Messrs. COoch, Salisbury,
Whiteman and Watkins, very prop
erlv killed. Then came the Coal
Oil Inspector bill-a big grab in
deed-which the Senate at Mr.. Pyle s
instance, promptly decapitated. Next
the City Solicitor bill, ll,manifestly de
signed to let in somebody who has
been less than five years at the bar,
and which may yet be squelched by
the Senate-as it ought to be. when
the city of Wilmington cannot OBJ
tain an attorney possessing the quail
ifications prescribed by statute,it will
be time enough to throw open the
doors to the fiedglings of the bar;
but there has been no dertA OF more
experienced aspirants thus far and
there is not likely to be in the near
future.
1t would take too much space tc
enumerate the other grab games II
hand and in sight. They are com
ing in as we say, every day. Theil
protectors seem to think it the chic
business of Legislature--not to maxi
laws for the whole people but t'
make places for party workers. TheIi
rapacity is beginning to disgust ever
old time adherents of the dogma tina
to the victors belong the spoils. As
to the Cleveland dictum about pub
Ilic Office being Il public trust, the,
want nothing to do with it. The
would strike out the words "publl
trust" and substitute "private grab.
These schemers are hailing thu
far almost entirely from this city
They certainly do not 90 to Dove
with the backing of the public senti
ment of Wilmington. BY far tn
greater part of the people Of thi
city-the men who work in our shops
who run our stores, who make up tn
bone and sinew. the industry, the
business, the trade, the prosperity
the advancement and progress o
Wilmington-believe in fair play
Whether Democrats or Republicans
they are willing to abide by the re
suits of their elections. If the Dem
ocrats carry the city they expect t.
put their own men in and eep then
there until the Republicans Outvot'
them and gain the ascendancy. AnC
when that happens they are willing
to accord to their political oppo
nents the same privilege. They d'
not think it right-they do not thinl
it manly-for place hunters to rul
to tile Legislature asking for wha
they could not, or did not, get at the
polls. And we know that we speal
for a large number of Wilmington
Democrats when we say that they d'
not want, and will not regard witt
approval, such legislative interfer
ence with our municipal affairs.

WE hope that members ofthe Leg
islature will look we'll into the ques-
ton and the animus of those who
are asking them to repeal the "peach
yellows" law so far as Kent county
Is concerned. It is the best interests
of the State that the law not only
be maintained, but amended so that
it can be better enforced. Because
a few, or many men in Soath MUIR
derkilI hundred are dissatisfied with
the Inspector appointed for theirdis-
trict because he failed to carry out
the law intelligently or fairly. they
should not blame the law. tits not
the fault of the law, but the individ-
ual appointed to enforce it, and by
enacting the amendments offered to
the law by Messrs. Rosa and Ban
croft, this thing will be avoided.
Delaware has too great an interest
at stake to abandon protective meas
ure against spread of the "yellows'
in peach orchards, and we hope that
good sense will prevail with the
committee having these measures IN
charge. If the amendmentNasked for
by the peach growers of Kent county
are passed, we believe the march
southward of the yellows will be ser
iously impeded and for the benefit OF
all we give the substance of ;hese
amendments, which are as follows
Within sixty days after the pas
sage of this bill the Governor shall
appoint one (instead Of three, as at
