BEGIN THE CAMPAIGN.

Chief Justice Lore and his associate
advocates Of prison reform in Delaware
should begin their campaign Of educa-
tion early this Winter and push II into
Kent and Sussex counties. The people
Of New Castle county have long since
been convinced that state workhouse
is a public necessity.
But for the conservatism OF the mem
bers from Kent and Sussex counties the
General Assembly would, two years
ago. have made provision for the
money necessary for the building
equipment and maintenance OF such an
institution. That conservatism will
have to be met and overcome this
Winter, and the earlier the work is
begun the sooner the General Assem-
bly, will take favorable action on the
proposition.
Our need OF a state workhouse no one
will deny. Under present conditions
our jails are inadequate and insecure.
Our criminals are kept in idleness and
encouraged in vice. and the mainte-
nance OF the jails and their inmates is
a serious item to be considered when
our Levy Courts are fixing the tax
rates. The scheme devised by Chief
Justice Lore and his associates will. if
adopted, make the criminal class self
supporting, or nearly so, and we shall
have in addition to this saving in ex-
penditure the benefit of the knowledge
that the prisoners are safely housed
away from society and that they and
not the honest and law-abiding classes
are earning the money for their sup
port. Once convince the people Of the
two lower counties that prison reform
means a decrease in the tax rate and
they will be anxious to instruct their
legislative representatives to give their
countenance to the project.

It is likely that'the Republicans will
abandon their project of holding a Nc
Kinley and Hobart parade this week.
Many of the Republican leaders are op-
posed to such a step, saying that 1t is
not polite, and their wishes in the
matter are likely to prevail.

Many a man could have done a great
deal more, and have done it much bet
ter, with 100000 than J. Edward Ad-
dicks did in Delaware on last Tuesday.
Those familiar with the subject de-
clare that Spain has very little to gain
through success or failure in Cuba.
Most of the sugar and coffee planta-
tions are destroyed and there is no
money to restore them. Many towns
have been burned and many others
have been ruined from abuse and ne
glect. Business is completely demor-
allied and the whole island has become
the habitation of rowing bands, which
destroy everything before them. Truly
this is a deplorable picture of tn,

ton that George A. Quinn by Is foreman

the rules of the order; and that as he
broke the rules LIE is not entitled to any
