The political campaign is about to
begin in earnest. The Republicans
have already declared their intentions
and given forth their platform. Soon
the Democratic party will announce
their main planks in the coming cam
paign For the first time the women
of Utah will cast their ballots and as
they are in the majority in Salt Lake

influence. Many of the ladies who be-

Democracy knows no baseness, covers

Democracy has been in existence since
Thomas jefferson, that great soul
whom all Americans admire even to-
day, rode to the place where he was TO
deliver his inaugural address and with
out ponp or ceremony declared his
principles to our forefathers.
Several prominent Democratic ladies
were interviewed as to why they
sympathize and affiliate with this
party. DR.. Ellen B. Ferguson gave
these reasons:

he was arraigned in city court Tues

case was dismissed.
On the night Of May Gath, 1889, Mar.
TIN Doordan,i John II. Goodwin, two
whlte lads, and colored boy known as
Robinson, had quarrel. II is alleged
that the white boys were teasing the
negro and he drew a knife and cut
them both. Doordan died on June 18th,
put Goodwin recovered. lie is now liv.
ing in the West.
The boy who did the cutting disap
peared Immediately and the police were
unable at the time to get clue TO his
whereabouts. Yesterday when the off.
GERS saw Roberts on Front street, they
felt assured that he was the boy who
did the cutting and placed him under
arrest. Others who knew Robinson, as
he was then known, think the prisoner
is the same person.
At the time of Doordan's death an
inquest was held and the assailant was
charged with murder, the name of the
accused party being Samuel Robinson.
The prisoner has nothing to say con

Our staunch Republican contempo-
rary, the Sussex Republican of George
town, refuses at this time OF the year
TO train under the leadership of Mr..
j. Edward Addicks. 1t will be re-
membered that in recent interview
with Dover correspondent, Mr.. Ad-
dicks made some very boasting as
sertions, among which was the follow
ing positive declaration II am the
leader of tho party and will continue
to be the leader. With my friends
throughout the State won the victory
which gave this opportunity to Colonel
du Pont. 1t needs the same inspiration
to win victory for our party this fall.
That inspiration will not be wanting,
and that victory will be won.'' The
interview is quoted by tho Republican
under the suggestive heading of
Gas, " and then it proceeds to make
reply, as follows:
The Addicks policy is "Addicks or
nobody" 1t has been in the past, is
now, and will continue to be as long
that policy that made our last session
of the Legislature a reproach to the
Republican party because it blocked
the efforts for good that were put forth
in any direction. 1t is the "dog in
the manger" policy that placed the
Eepuhlican party in worse condition
than if victory had never smiled on
our banner. 1t is policy that means
the subverslon OF every principle of
party policy to tho personal desires
ana wishes OF one man whose con.
ception is not broad enough to get out.
SIDE of the one idea of the purchasing
power Of money in politics. This is
the inspiration we suppose he speaks
or and is the only inspiration he is
capable of furnishing,
This is decidedly vigorous in the
way of a protesting kick against the
leadership of Addicks. but it does not
go to the extent of open revolt. What
the people would like to know is
whether the Sussex Republican will
repudiate the leadership of MIR. Ad-
dicks after he shall have placed him
self fairly in the saddle by controlling

tickets in his interest, That he will

cate their election?
In the last campaign the Sussex Re.
publican fought faithfully under the
Addicks banner. 1t pretended that it
was marching behind the banner of the
Republican party, but everybody knew
that IT was an Addicks banner, all the
same.
This year Mr.. Addicks is in the
field, and working hard to strengthen
his present firm grasp upon the Repub
ilcan party organizations in Kent and
Sussex counties. The Kent Republi-
cans be already owns, body and soul.
His absolute leadership there is not
even questioned. There is scarcely a
doubt that no will sweep away all op-
position in Sussex.
Will the Sussex Republican then

Imployment for prIson,r,.

hhe report OF tnh grand Jury Tor New
Oastle county, which was presented to
the general sessions court, Monday.
IN referring to the customary inspec.
tion OF the jail had this TO say:
The health Of the prisoners and the
sanitary condition of the building is
good, and tho prisoners are as well
provided for as could be expected in
the overcrowded condition OF the cells.
IN ono, room we found 81 prisoners
huddied together the sight OF which
~ disgrace TO civilization, and should
DC convincing argument to any rea-
sonable mind that more room is needed
in the Jail, or that workhouso or peni.
tentiary should be provided where pris-
oners should be compelled to labor. in.
stead OF spending their time in idleness
and vice.
The breaking of stone affords some
employment, but this applies only to
persons admitted as tramps, but owing
to the distance from the quarry, we
think it too expensive.
The condition Of affairs referred to
by the.grand jury has been a crying
evil for years There is nothing new
in this reference to the matter, but
the recommendation of that body is
important in that it pertinently calls
attention TO grave defect in the sy g.
tenn of maintaining our convicts in this
State that loudly cries out for
remedy.
The Jail at New Castle was erected
about forty years ago. 1t was doubt
less a good building for the times, and
fully adapted to the needs of the then
existing community. But since that
time the population of New Castle
county has more than doubled, and the
Jail accommodations have remained
without change. This naturally causes
the crowded condition of the institu.
tion, to which the grand jury refers.
But, worse than all else, is the fail
ure during all these years to provide
system of employment for the inmates
OF our jail. They are kept in condi-
tion of absolute ideness, with the ex.
ception Of those committed for short
periods, on charges of drunkenness or
vagrancy, who arc required to labor at
the stone pile. This system, while
better than none, is not at all satisfac.
tory, as the grand jury observes, on
account of the distance of the Jail yard
from suitable quarry, which makes
the labor matter of expense Still,
the stone pile has a deterrent effect,
doubtless, in making these who fear
the terrors OF hard labor go comport
themselves as to prevent them from be.
coming nuisance to the community.
Ihat a suitable system of employ
ment should be provided for all the in
mates of all the ials Of this State, is
matter that admits of no controversy.
No one can doubt that good would fol-
low the establishment Of "a system of Jail
labor. The inmates themselves would
be benefited, as well as tho commun-
ity Whether the best plan would be
a State penitentiary, or the introduce
tion of labor appliances at the respec-
tive jails, is question yet to be de.
termined, but the main subject of en-.
ployment for prisoners should be no
longer neglected. il should have been
settled years ago, and it is to be hoped
that the next General Assembly will
take decisive action.

the Cause of the Crime.
West Chester, Pa. Fob. THE
Jury in the case of Thomas Elvin Of
Phmnixville, which had been out all
night, brought in verdict Of guilty
of murder in the first degree this morn.
ing
Elvin killed two of his children on
November 18th last by placing arsenic
in their coffee. He also drank some of
the deadly liquid and afterwards cut
his throat. His oldest son, aged l3
years, saw him mix the fatal dose for
the children and prevented them from
drinking 1t, but after he had left the
house his father forced them to swallow
the poison.
Mre. Elvin, the murderer's wife, had
run away from home with another man
and this made Elvin Respondent.
During the trial, which lasted 10
days, the woman was an apparently
unconcerped spectator. The son who
tried to prevent the murder of the
children was the principal witness
against his father.
