PENINSULA PRESS OPINION.
WHAT THE DELAWARE AND
EASTERN SHORE ERITORS ARE
THINKING OF.

1t needs no argument to prove that
the condition of affairs so long existing
at New Castle Jail is no credit to the
county. Some form of labor for all the
inmates of the institution should be
provided, and nothing better than a
county work-house has been suggested.
What the latter may accomplish is de-
tailed in the address. The approach of
the close Of the legislative session
leaves little time for active work, and
whatever may be done in the direction
OF the desired reform should be done at
once-Every Evening.

emergencies. and whatever money has
been borrowed from the school fund
has always been paid back. A state
cannot be bankrupt with such an ex-
cess over liabilities, and with $40, 600
lying idle in bank. The $1,000
to be borrowed from the school
fund to meet the demands upon
the general fund will be paid back as
soon as the clerks of the peace have
made their semi-annual settlement
with the state treasurer. While every
one is averse to the school fund being
drawn upon for general purposes, it is
certainly more business-like for the
state to borrow from one Of its own
pockets than to 80 out in the money
markets and borrow from the lenders.
Delaware is all right financially. The
