Have Any Chance at Dover.

to meet the demands of the present day
The Sussex County Jail is disgrace to
civilized community. The Kent COUNTY
Is little better while the New Castle Jail Il
entirely inadequate to accommodate thu
large number OF inmates us they SHOULD
be when committed to such an institution
1t Is time the State authorities were
awakening to the fact that the jails built
years ago are behind the increase Of popu
lation that has taken place IN our State
during the last fifty years. But what WI
expect from Mossbacks?
ATTENDED TO ITS OWN BUSINESS.
Republican Glasses gives the following
explanation Of the Republican State Com
nittce,, which met at Dover on Tuesday
The Republican State Committee held
secret nesting at the Hotel Richardson
Dover, last Tuesday, for the transaction
OF its own business; but that did not save
1t from the misconstruction or misrepre
seniation OF the several newspaper men
at dover, who can always see correctly
through mill stOne--if 1t has hole in it.
One OF these reporters who is especially
acute, and who never asked q question OF
a single member of the State Committee.
declared at once that the meeting was for
the purpose Of fighting Addicks at Wa h.
ingtoD," land Willis,' too. be added. The
first was n reckless guess but the last was
wiltnl fals9houd. 1t may he said with.
ont that there is not II member in the Re
publican state Committee who would not
Ike to sec Mr.. Willis again in Congress.
But neither that nor the endless Adj
dicks question had anything to do with
lhc meeting, In order to straighten ont
the matter, Republican Glasses" Is au-
thorl2cd to say that the Republican State
Committee met at Dover last Tuesday To
attend to its own business.
The explanation is AS plain rs a Chinese
puzzle sin it is no fight of ours.
PAYS HIS RESPECTS TO THEM
Tom milford pays his compliment, to
Mcssrs, Bach, Billnny and others in his
Democratic Glasses on SUNDAY as follows:
And now the finn of Bet Ii, Vi'la'ny,
MIDDLE 4 Co, has more trouble ON their
shoulders in the shape ola suit for rent of
the rooms occupied by the First District
Committee, ofthc Higgins Republicans
since May 1895. The documents arc n1w
IN Parliamentary Woolley's possession and
the plaintiff is Linton Smith. 1t probably
Gust too much to carry on the war against
j Edward Addicks. and that made rent
money scarce, perhaps.
The Claymout multi.millionaire would
make n ten.s strike for harmony now, If he
should quickly pay his enemies rent bill
for them. Win be? Well, possibly not in
Lent
This is the unkindnest fling ofall and en-.
tireiy uncalled for rs these gentlemen are
not wholly responsible for tho suit. The
rent will be paid and tho hat will no, have
to be passed around either to enable Demo
cratic Glasses to contribute.
WILL He FOLLOW CLEyELAND's ExAMP.E
All the federal office, have some time vet
to serve their country MS better salaries
than positions are going begging at
The present time in our city.
1t remains to be seen whether President
Mckinley will follow the example set by
cx-PrcSident Cleveland, aud chop off some
OF their heads before their commissions
expire En- Marshal McAlulcn was served
that way 50 was cX-Marsial Harry Ma.

Moore ) term extends for over year vet
and ho VIII have one of his long expressed
wishes gratitied before another week ex-
pres, and that will be to occupy the new
Lost Office. He and his assistants will oc-
cupy handsome quarters as well us all
others of the government departments in
cur cIty.
OUR NEW POST OFFlCr.
The fitting up :of the new Post Office
is fine and makes doing business n
pleasure with any of these officials in their
handsome quarters. Uncle sam has spent Il
few Of dollars for tho first timG within
the recollection Of quite II number of citi-
Gems which have been made over and
above the expenses Of this office The
new building was badly needed and is IA
credit to the government and our city us
we'll
A CREDIT TO THE STATE
Although the Delaware State Hospital
for the Insane only costs our citizens but
four cents each to maintain it, with its
three hundred inmates yet the Croakers
are ever busy objecting to the amount of
the appropriation to run the institution
which Is credit to the State. Dr. Hancker
tries to make every dollar go as far us
possible aud bring the institution up to
the standard enjoyed by similar asylums
IN other clties. The new addition which
is almost finished Is model building and
viii help to relieve the over crowded con
uitlon oil the institution and allow better
accommodations than ever before. There
should BE- no hesitancy in granting the
institution the annual appropriation ask
cd for It's muntainancc during the coming
two years.
The time of the present incumbent of
the post Office at Lewes does not expire I'M
I'll next November, yet there are q num-
Der OF applicants for the position, repre-.
senting both factions Of the Republicans
Those who have announced their candi-
dacy are David c. Coverdale, Joseph c.
Willard Frank Burton and Peter A,
Lank, all followers Of the Addicks wing
and j. b Norman, Jr., and John A. kcre
Of the Regular Republicans.
ChaS, II. Maull, chairman Of the Regu.
lar Republican County Committee, and a
member Of the State Central Committee.
Will, in all probability announce his can.
ildacy later, and, should he do so, will be
the strongest and most popular applicant,
with L. b. Norman Jr,, next in favor.
James A. Magee yesterday announced
himself as a candidate for president of
CITY Council at the coming election, Mr..
Magee served two terms in Council from
The Fourth ward and one term In the
Board Of Education.
Mr. Mageo now lives in the Fifth ward
and is president of the City Democratic
Association. 1t is rather funny to see the
with which our self sacritici np
Democrats fight for little Office. The
pay Is not considered, for an officer of a
beneficial lodge would be paid moro than
some Officers Of our county government.
NO wonder that 1t is case of say three
men, that one would say TO number two
'NSN iNO No pbiIh lUbtlutT anu VIC can
make money out of this job. That would
lot be white deal in any sense of the
word. Time alone will tell.
What an imported officer can do in lthis
country. But he is mean man who gives
way the hiding place of a refugee. And
he war Is still raging. Gomez is attack.
ng the Delaware Wcyler in every quarter.
The latest attack was made yesterday
when In tho senate notice was given of
olll to continue the present Police Com.
niSsioEcrs in office. That means poor
irub for the Hart.
1t is only justice to the man and the
men under him, who elected him, fer such
bill to 10 introduced. Now then, will
ir Lawson and Mr., Pyle come under Mr..
Nonaghan's wing and vote for the re.
appointment Of Chief Dolan? Let the band
LAY. Dolan Is all right and has q good
cree of men. They ali cannot 90 to the
anne church on Sunday because the city
would go the dogs.
At the meeting of the Police Commits
Ion last evening the following prominent
itlzens called TO support the retention of
