Dover, Dec. u. The attendance at
the State Grange yesterday was larger
than on Tuesday. The committee on
legislation recommended the Lubin
proposition TO the consideration of
Congress. Tho following recommenda-
tions Of the committee were adopted
I'VE heartily approve the words of
the Worthy Master relating to prison
reform, We think State penitentiary
in the form of workhouse for convicts
is urgently demanded by the conditions
existing in our State and we favor lis
establishment by the next Legislature.
"The question of traffic in intoxicat-
ing beverages is the most important
one before our people. This traffic costs
the people of Delaware from four TO
five million dollars annually, sum SO
enormous that all other costs sink into
insignificance. We believe that legal
prohibition, nothing more, nothing
less, IS the remedy for this evil. We
agree with the Worthy Master also that
rigid laws for the prevention OF bribery
at elections should be enacted and that
a systematic effort should be made to
arouse public sentiment upon tie ques-
tion. We recommend that efforts be
made to have the law to stamp out CON
tagious diseases strengthened by an
adequate appropriation to indemnify
the owners of cattle so destroyed. :"
The committee on education heartily
endorsed the new system of teaching
which is being introduced in the pub
lie schools. The committee on momori-
ais reported and appropriate resolutions
on the death of Samuel Lindsay of
Newark we're adopted.
