PETER is a backslider; an apostate. He
has admitted that the silver craze is dy-
ing out in the west. And to aggravate his
offense, when he made the admission he
had on two pairs of gold-rimmed specta-
cles, three gold shirt studs. two gold
cuff buttons. a gold watch, a gold chain,
and a gold fob. There was not a speck of
silver about him in sight. He tried to
save himself by saying that wages were
too high land they are getting higher right
along). and that nobody ought to get
higher wages than United States sem
ator. But even that sop to the calamity
howlers will not save him from their con-
demnation

Our Convict Camps.

The investigation incident to the suicide
Of the convict, Porter Stocks, should con-
vince every one that the present method
of furnishing convlcts is more than a bur-
lesque; it is an outrage upon the COM
mon sense of the people.
The complaint is general that the laws
are not enforced. and it has a good foun-
dation. Judges, juries and the people are
beginning to think that it is useless to
convict persons when they are not pun
shed. Tax payers are taxed to convict
the wrongdoers. and the worst punishment
that is inflicted is to put them on a chain
gang or in a convict camp. Occasionally
one is hung, and in that case his punish
ment is certain, but ninety cases out
of a hundred the white criminal is sent
to the convict camp, where, if he has any
sense. he can have a good time as long
as he chooses to remain, and walk away
when his punishment becomes irksome.
The remedy for this state of things is a
penitentiary. Such an institution, where
convicts are certain to be punished, will
do more to stop crime than all that the
courts can do, and will be saving to the
tax payer in the end. A twenty years ex-
pertinent of the present loose system OF
furnishing crime has proved 1t a failure
and if it is kept up much longer. it will
be Impossible to live in some parts of the
state
The press of the state should agitate
the question so that the people at the
tatives take up the question of building a
state penitentiary, in which criminals will
be made to feel that punishment follows
crime

PRICE LYNCuED.

The Murderer of Sallfe Dean Hanged
to Tree by q Mob of Masked Men.
Marshall Price, the murderer of Sallie
men at Denton, Nd, on Tuesday night
He was taken from the Jail and hanged to
tree.
After fair trial, he had been convicted
of one of the most brutal murders that
ever stained the records of the state, and
was sentenced to be hung on July 5. But
his lawyers had taken the case to the Court
of Appeals upon writ of error, and the
Governor, on Tuesday granted a respite, by
which his life would have been prolonged
until after the meeting of the Court of Ap'
peals in October. But the people fearing
that the respite might mean a reprieve, or
pardon, and that the murderer would es-
cape justice, took the law in their own
hands. The plea of insanity was the only
defence offered for the murderer by his
lawyers. The lynching was not unex-
pected, and to protect the prisoner, there
was talk of removing him to Baltimore.
The crime of which Price was convicted
was the murder Of Sallie Dean, the IA year
old daughter of Jacob Dean, a farmer liv.
ing near Harmony, village in Caroline
County. She was ON her way to school on
the morning of March &c, and was met by
Marshall Price, who knocked her down
with a stone and cut her throat from ear
to ear. After his arrest he confessed the
crime, giving all the horrible details of the
murder.

WHO APPROVES ITs

Two wrongs never made right
| Marshall E. Price was a miserable
| wretch who murdered Sallie Dean and
undoubtedly merited death for his
crime. He had been convicted by the
court most promptly and the ends of
Justice would have been served and the
consciences Of many men would have
been saved many pangs for many years,
had the law been allowed to take its
course. Instead Of that he was mur-
dered, and another crime was added to
the first, and the act has opened the
door to other lawless deeds, for the man
who can persuade himself to assist in a
lynching can the more easily persuade
himself to violate another command
ment than ''thou shalt not kill" Gov
ernor Brown and the courts had but
done their duty. It may be that the
same cannot be said of the attorneys in
the case, or rather that they did more
than their duty and they will contin ue
to do as just as long as the public
applaud the success Of the trickster.
But all this is no excuse for lawlessness
and we must condemn the lynching of
Price on Tuesday night at Denton as
unworthy as he may have been to live.
A crime by one man is appalling but a
crime, even in the name of justice, in
which the hands and conscience Of fifty
men participate, is more appalling and
threatens more the future peace of the
State.

MIDDLETOWN, DEL, JULY 6, 1895.
NO PLACE LIKE HOME.

Loyalty is noble quality and is ever
to be commended. Patriotism should
be taught in the schools beginning
with the abecedarians, and the story
Of "Old Glory" its conception, its
significance, should be related when
the first little flag is put into the tiny
American hands.
We have just celebrated another
"Glorious Fourth" and the Stars and
Stripes have been prominent as they
should be on this National Anniversary.
But how many school children can tell
off-hand that the thirteen alternate red
and white stripes represent the origi-
nal states, or that with every new
state admitted to the Union the origi-
nal thirteen white stars in the field Of
blue have been increased until to-day
the number is forty-four2 The children
in every primary school should be fa-
miliar with these facts, and the more
advanced pupils should know that
within their school life six stars have
been added to the flag, six states ad-
mitted to the Union: Idaho, Montana,
North Dakota, South Dakota, Wash
ington, and Wyoming. And another
is knocking at the doors Of statehood.
We are a great Nation.

population, showing the growth of

more amusing are the faces made by
our political opponents at the doses Of
their own medicine administered to
them by the TRANSCRIPT. 1t is not
palatable we know and an interested
public are getting to be Of the opinion
that there is something wrong with
the doctors-the Democratic editors.
They need to change their school from
the ''old" to the "new," or if they are
"new' the people would like little of
the "old." A change is what is
wanted. Argument instead Of abuse
is called for. Let there be consulta-
tion and change.
In the meantime the TRANSCRIPT
lamb expects to browse along the
Democratic lines, for there is much
good In the Democrats fields, nor will
the growls Of the Democratic wolves
frighten it away. The wolf is selfish
and cares most that it's own appetite is
satisfied, and its appetite is enormous.
Every sheep is proper prey for the
wolf without regard to ownership.
The average politician defends high
taxes so long as he shares in the spoils.
When will the people learn to protect
themselves?

AN OPPORTUNITY TO PROVE 1T,
The Euery Evening, ''Delaware's
leading daily newspaper" says it is in
favor of good government. Suppose we
admit the claim. It says it is in favor
Of economy in expenditures. Let us
admit that also. With these admis-
sions favorable to the good standing Of
the Erery Erening we confidently call
upon it to show up in its wider sphere
the following statement Of facts exist
ing to-day in Wilmington, and not
known to all outward appearances, to
the newspapers Of that town:
During the Harrison administration
but one man was employed to oversee
the erection Of the new postoffice build
ing in Wilmington-the superintend-
ent. He was paid only when the work
was in progress. Under Harrison
when the work stopped the salary
stopped.
When Cleveland came in three men
were employed to do what one did un-
der Harrison. Senator George Gray is
responsible for the additional appoint
ments and the added expense, un-
necessary apparently. The appointees
are:
James w. Ware, Supt.. $500 per day
J. Harvey Spruance, Clerk. j. 500 :" !"
Jos. 8. Dunlop, Foreman......... 500
Their combined salaries amount to be-
tween S420 and S430 month, or over
$5O0O.0O year. The Republicans did
the work for little over third this
amount. But more than that is the
fact that for over six months the build
ing has been at stand still and these
men have been drawing their salaries.
Is that ''economy?" Is it s.good
We think not, and the
notice Of Erery Evening having been
drawn to the matter we shall expect 1t

MORE IRREyERENCE.

EDITOR TRANSCRIPT I've lived in Mex
| leo myself, and when your correspondent
! .Jno. @. Oldboy," undertakes to compare
our fly" young fellers who are of color in
their reverence for the House of God with
rGreasers," write to tell him he's way off,
if he means to insinuate that they would
do the likes of that-puff their cigars in a
Church!
He forgets that the Mexican Indian al
ways takes his hat off even when he goes by
Church often I've seen their big cart
wheel -sombreros, they call them,
pulled off as they were passing church.
Reyerence they are chuck full of that!
Your readers would think so if they had
seen men get off their horses and kneeI
down in the mud in the middle of the
street, while every true Catholic on the
| sidewalk for block or two would also doff
hat and kneel-because some priest was
driving by in coach with the host" on
the way to give extreme JUNCTION, to some
dying son or daughter of the true Church
''la verderdera iglesia de Dios," as they so
boastfully style it. Paul, I imagine would
have said to them: II perceive that in all
things ye are too superstitious' had he
seen as 7 have whole family Of copper
hued worshippers, all on their knees, sham
bling from the very sidewalk into the
Church to pay at the shrine of their saint
the votive offering of the little candle they
each held in the hand.
No, tell 'Oldboy" to find something else
to liken his "Smart Alecs" to than "Grea-
sers," for it aint fair to the .'Greasers!'
But these chaps don't all live in Middle
town-we've got few 'Smarties' here in
Odessa that for irreverence are not so
slow.
For some time past an enterpr1sing towns
man Of ours has been quartering his horses
in the old Quaker graveyard for a pasture
ground. To be sure its handy way to
keep the grave-turf cropped short-tho' it
may be a little hard on the low-set tomb
stones that so Intellectually guard the sacred
relics beneath these trampled mounds over
which these horses gallop and feed. Per-
haps their thrifty owner thinks that if alive
these tenants Of the narrow house would
be too peaceable to object, and certainly
being dead they will not object! Nobody
objects infact-the public don't and the
horses can hardly be expected to do so.
But these times are hard, and pasture is
pasture these days! J.T. JR.
