CHANGED TAEIR JOY TO MOURNING.
REPRESENTATIVE MCCULLOUGH
UNEXPECTEDLY MOVED FOR
RECONSIDERATION OF THE
STATE WORK-HOUSE BILL.

Staff Correspondence Evening Journal.
Dover, May 6.-Just when the friends
of prison reform were congratulating
themselves that the Delaware State
Work-house bill was a law, so far as
the House was concerned, Representa-
tive Mccullough, of the New Castle
county delegation, changed their joy
into mourning by moving for reconsid-
GRAFTON of the vote by which the bill
was passed.
Ever since the bill passed, its oppo-
nents had been looking for some one
who would move for reconsideration.
Finally they settled upon Representa-
tive Mccullough and prevailed upon
him to carry out their wishes.
Yesterday afternoon he arose in the
House and moved that the vote by
which the bill was passed be reconsid-
cred. AS an excuse for his action he
said that some of the opponents of the
bill claimed that they did not have suf-
ficient time to oppose it.
Mr.. Dempsey said that they had had
plenty of time to make their Objec-
tions known, and that it was merely a
scheme to defeat the bill.
The vote was taken and the motion
carried by vote of u to 5, four of the
members being absent. Those who
voted against reconsideration were
Messrs. Cheairs, Johnson, Dempsey,
Riggin and Martin.
Mr.. McCullOugh's next motion was to
recommit the bill. Mr.. Dempsey fought
This move, and said that the majority
of the people of the state were behind
the bill and wanted it passed. 1t had
been in committee four months and be-
fore the house for a week, and there
was no earthly excuse for the oppo-
nents of the bill setting up such plea
at this late day. He did not want the
bill recommitted unless someone had
an amendmen to Offer
Mr.. Wilson said that he did not pro
pose to discuss the bill, but that before
the Legislature passed it, it had better
close the shutters and go home.
In long speech Mr.. Adams said that
the figures that had been offered there
could be disproved. 1t was not a sim
pie matter, but one of borrowing 5000,
900 by the state, and should be cOnsid-
cred very carefully.
Mr.. HAZEL remarked that he had an
amendment to offer to the bill when it
got back in committee, and that it was
to strike out the enacting clause. He
said that he was glad the members had
awakened from the spell of eloquence
that had caused them to pass the bill
Mr.. Cheairs said he was under no
spell, but that he had made up his
mind to vote for the bill if he ever got
in the Legislature. He had reached a
conclusion on this point, even before
he was nominated.
Mr.. Short then moved to indefinitely
postpone further consideration of the
bill.
Don't do that" said Mr.. HAZEL,
"but give everybody a show"
Then Mr.. Short moved to let it go on
the calendar un.l next Tuesday at 3
O'Clock, and that was carried.

CONTEMPORARY OPINION.

ANOTHER FOOLISH TARIFF TAX.
What possible revenue is to be gained
or protection" afforded by levying a
duty Of one cent per pound on copper?
Last year the United States exported
nearly 10000 tons of copper, exclusive
OF manufactures of that metal, for
which foreign purchasers paid $30,000,-
600. In the past eight months the ex-
ports were 17S,423, 1872 pounds, valued
at nearly $20,O00,0 900, while in the same
period we imported 7,3751S4 pounds,
valued at 1923, ,607. Surely such an
overwhelming export trade does not
need protection"
How is it about revenue? The Cop
per Producers Association, represent
ing American mining companies which
produce more than half the copper
produced in the world, send out a pro-
test against the duty, saying they
don't want 1t for their own copper, and
that the small quantities of copper
that are now imported come to our
smelling works to be refined, or for
separation of the contained precious
metals, and to this extent give employ
ment to American skilled labor, but If
this copper should be subjected to a
duty Of one cent per pound it would
seek the European market, and the
government would fail TO receive any
revenue therefrom."
The foolish tax is a fair sample of the
new McKinleyism. The whole Dingley
tariff scheme is hostile to the interests
OF labor as well as trade.-BOston Post

ABYssINIAN CONDITIONS.

The last MOhammedan aggression
against Abyssinia took place in 1876.
when $500 Egyptian troops attempted,
without previous declaration of war, to
overrun the Province of Tigre in order
to bring Abyssinia into subjection to
the Egyptian state. Professor Reinisch
was at the time on a journey to Abys-
sinia, and witnessed the patriotic spirit
which inspired the people. On the
self-same day that the Egyptian troops
began to land at Massowah, swift
messengers carried the news thence
into the interior. From hill to hill
blazed the far-seen beacon fires, and
war cries rang throughout the prov
inces of the kingdom. On the follow
ing day the centres OF population al
ready resembled military camps.
Priests and monks were everywhere
preaching a holy war for the defence
OF the cross and the Fatherland. With
out military summons or recruiting of
volunteers all the able-bodied men of
their own accord got ready their guns,
swords, and lances. Women and
slaves looked TO the supply of pro-
visions, and within a week 10000 we'll
equipped men turned out from the
/ Province of Hamasen alone to occupy
the mountain pass toward Tigre. be
fore the Egyptian troops had left Mas
sowan. The outcome of the war, Sc
fatal to Egypt, is well known. IL gave
the immediate impulse to the events
| which finally led TO the occupation OF
| Egypt by Great Britain.
AS regards the probable destination
of Abyssinia, Professor Reinisch CAV,
1t as his opinion that-at least withir
a measurable time-it will certainly
not share the fate of the Egyptians
They have been for centuries a natioI
of slaves, the Abyssinians a race o
freemen. The conquest of the countr,
by a nation capable of bearing thu
great expense necessary is, of course
possible, but it may be safely said tina
it is a much lighter task to conque
Abyssinia than to govern it afterward
For, in spite OF the fertility OF certail
provinces, it is to-day a poor country
having been exhausted by it's wars. Il

of a secured and lasting peace are ur

THE GoLDEY COLLEGE ALUMNI.

An enthusiastic meeting of Goldey
College Alumni Association was held
last evening in the college hail. in the
Institute building, Eighth and Market
streets. The question of the annual
banquet and reunion was discussed,
and active preparations will be begun
at once for holding the same on Wed
nesday evening, June 2. Reception,
entertainment and banquet committees
were appointed. Two innovations were
decided upon. One to hold the recep-
tiOn to the new class and entertain
ment in the college hall (Which will
be fittingly decorated by the ladies for
the occasion) and to go from there to
the banquet hall; the other to make
the dues for the coming year 81 instead
of 81. 1t was further decided to make
the class of '97 the guests of the as
sOciation at the banquet. A pleasant
feature Of the annual affair this year
will be the attendance of some who
have come into the association through
marriage, as quite a number of the
Alumni have entered that state the
past year.

ENGAGEMENT RING FINGER.

The custom of wearing the wedding
ring on the fourth finger of the left
hand is one of those survivals of pagan
superstition which have become part of
civilization itself. The old Greeks and
Romans believed that this finger con-
tanned a vein directly communicating
with the heart, and when the ring be-
came the marriage symbol this finger
was naturally chosen as the one on
which the ring should be worn. The
supposed connection of the fourth
finger with the heart is, of course, a
mere fallacy, but the custom that arose
out of it has long been sanctioned by
usage The fourth finger Of the left
hand is the finger least used, as, unlike
the others, il cannot be extended
singly to it's full length. The ring is,
therefore, less in the way on this finger
than 1t would be on any other.

MKINLEY,s PoLITIcAL sTRATEGl

MKINLEY'S POLITICAL STRATEGY
The game OF politics Is much like the
gamo OF poker. Trickery is 'legiti-
mate" in both, and politicians are given
to favor the card trick apparently be-
cause 1t so strikingly resembles the
game they play in life. President Nc
Kinley differs in this respect. He
would not stoop to take part in such
a disreputable pastime. He had rather
play chess or whist. From a moral
standpoint we most emphatically COM
mend him for his denunciation, but
the political bluff" he has worked
since he became commanding magis-
trate Of all our country moves us to
thank heaven that he was never led
astray into the gamblers circle, even
more than our regret for any other
man so degraded would be. He would
indeed be a dangerous gambler. There
is every evidence that the president
has already set to work to bluff" his
Uncle Samuel into giving him a second
term. VIII he be able to fool the old
man a second time? No, indeed. The
buffer may be cunning, but the quiet
old man has knowing way about him
which he never fails to assert at the
proper time. We shall welcome 1906
and the change it will bring.
Mr. Mckinley has been severely
criticised by many of the newspapers
which supported him in the late cam.
paign, because, in pursuance OF hi,

pointed a commission to proceed

this country probably expects les
practical result from the journeyings o
the commission than does Presiden
Mckinley. Here is bluff" numbe
one. We presume the fault-fndinl
newspapers were drawn into it-tha
their ironical howl was instigated b,

SEND THE GUARD TO PHILADEL-
PHIA.

News contained in another column
OF the Evening Journal to-day ex-
presses the indignation of Delaware
milltiamen that they are not to be
called on to represent their little state
in Philadelphia's coming celebration.
1t must, indeed, be disappointing to
national guardsmen who have enlisted
out of pride for their state, to be COM
PEELED to remain inactive and idly by
while all the other states are sending
creditable representations Of guards
men TO the two celebrations, the most
imposing OF this decade.
It must have been CALLING to guards
men, who preserve their states mill
tary only by deal of self-sacrince, to
read the taunts of the metropolitan
that Delaware was the only one of the
thirteen original states not represent
ed" at the Grant demonstration.
Officers of the National Guard state
TO the Evening Journal that the First
Battalion, First Infantry, ~ G. d.,
which is well drilled and splendidly
equipped, could be ordered to Philadel-
phia for next Saturday week for
merely transportation expenses and the
soldiers would be delighted. AS this
great national demonstration is to
take place only twenty-five miles from
the state line 1t would look like an
open affront to slight the Delaware
National Guard on this occasion, as was
the case in New York's Grant demon
stration.
