What constitutes immodesty? This
is an easy question to ask, and a hard
question to answer. Are pictures of
women dressed in tights and showing
their legs, immodest? Legs existed be-
fore skirts, and the Creator, who made
man and then woman, was probably
not ashamed Of the fact that he provid-
ed them both with legs. The conven-
tional costumes disguise a woman's
legs and leave a mans, to some extent.

the dress, and the question is, can she
be made visible without immodesty?-

The State Of Delaware needs a peni-
tentiary. and a clause should be in
serted in the New Constitution which
Will insure its establishment. Under
our present prison system many are
kept at public expense In absolute idle

six months, on the most trivial charges.
The herding of murderers. burglars,

would relieve the county jails, and
could be made source OF profit to the
state.-Milford Chronicle.

support Of the institution during the
next two years, basing their estimate
upon the following figures: 275 patients
at Sl52.1S per year for two years, $685.
699: fourteen new attendants, $4,000;
fuel, for new building, $1,000; light for
new building, $780, making the
yearly average per capita Sl65.O9. They
declare that less amount will not
suffice for the proper care of the indi-
gent insane. and that If it is not ap-
proprated the deficiency must be sup
piled by the next Legislature. They call
upon the legislators ito reflect and not
leave the members of this board who
are administering this great charity,
at much labor and responsibility and
considerable personal sacrifice, and
practically without any pecuniary re-
ward, with the responsibility OF 275
mad men on their hands with insuffl-
cient funds for their maintenance,
safety and comfort. and whose mainte-
nance in safety and comfort are abso-
lutely necessary to the safety and COM
fort Of all the people Of the state"
This is a business-like statement
Our state has assumed the care of it's
INDECENT insane. 1t cannot be recreant
to a trust which it voluntarily assumed.
All that the General Assembly can do
is to keep the expense of the mainte-
ance of the institution at reasonable
figure and check anything which is
either wasteful or extravagant II our
senators and representatives are con-
yinced that the actual needs Of the
asylum during the next two years will
necessitate an outlay of $9O,799, they
should not hesitate to grant it, for pub
lie sentiment is seldom aroused against
an honest and well-directed expendi-
ture of public funds. On the other
hand, if they are convinced by inves-
tigatlon that a smaller sum will suffice,
they will serve the public interest by
scaling down the appropriation asked
for. Anyway, it is useless to throw the
burden of a deficiency upon the Legis-
lature of two years to come.

ITS ONLY SIGNIFICANCE.

There is nothing particularly signif-
cant in the granting Of an alternative
writ of mandamus in the West Dover
hundred case by the Superior Court of
Kent county. 1t is merely a legal for
mality which brings the case into
court for hearing and adjudication. In
other words, the inspector is ordered
to make out certificate of election for
the hundred and return it to the Board
Of Canvass, or appear in court at a
given time and show cause why he
should not do so. He will appear in
court and the case will be tried on its
merits. Should the court decide in his
favor that will decide the matter unless
the Addioksites carry the case to the
Court of Errors and Appeals. Should
the decision Of the Superior Court be
against him his lawyers will carry it
up on a writ of error.
Supposing that the Court of Errors
and Appeals sustains the contentious
Of the inspectors lawyers. that will end
the fight fer all time; but if the Adj
dicks men are victorious in both courts
then they will go back to the Superior
Court and ondoavor to mandamus the
Board Of Canvass to meet and count
the full vote Of the county. Then the
old fight will be gone over in both the
Superior Court and Court Of Errors and
Appeals, and by the time that
it is over it viii be found
that The Democrats of Kent have
been sustained in their struggle against

Tile Pishon Anolocized.

Dr. Temple was won't to rule the dio-
cese Of Exeter with an iron hand, and a
tale is told of a deanery meeting at
which he presided, when the subject for
discussion was 1.-The Hindrances TO the
Spiritual Life Of the Diocese. After the
discussion had proceeded for some time
a vicar electrified his audience by de-
claring that the greatest hindrance to
the full spiritual life was none other
than the bishop himself. II repeat it, y
said the speaker calmly, 'our right rev.
erend father in God is very far from be-
ing a father to any of rs. Your manner
toward u.s." he continued, turning TO
the bishop ''is harsh in tho extreme,
while your method of rule is this: You
treat rs all, old and young, as if we
were a set cf schoolboys. This bold
statement drew from the bishop an apol-
ogy, and be explained that beneath his
brusqueness Of manner was q very gen
uine sympathy with the work Of all the
clergy This impeachment created the
more sensation in the meeting because
it came from a son of DR.. Temple pred
ecessor. tho famous Henry Of Exeter. -
