Don't swallow all advice undigested.
Don't buy your neighbOrs cast-Off

it's not good enough for you.
Don't consider your ambition any

THE BopY-sNATCHER Bill.

What has become of that bill intro
duoed by Senator Pyle some weeks ago
legalizing the sale of the dead bodies
OF INDECENT Delawareans to medical
colleges for purposes OF dissection and
anatomical instruction? It is a meas
ure so outrageous in character that the
committee to which 1t was referred
ought not to have taken much time to
consider 1t.
Delaware is capable of burying her
dead. Her people have no desire to sell
them to medical colleges to be placed
in pickling watts and afterward turned
over to young medical students to be
hacked to pieces on slabs in the dis
secting room. The bill contains a
proposition which constitutes a menace
to the sanctity OF the mortal remains
Of every poor man. woman and child in
our state. II is sad to die poor to feel
that ones life hasnot beenas successful
as that OF others, but there is consola-
tion in the thought that in the grave
there will be rest. and that the body
which has known so little of the re-
spect and caressses of the world when
living will, when dead, at least merit
and receive the respect which cold hui
man clay receives from all right-think-
ing people.
A man, woman or child, who has
been unfortunate in life, is entitled tc
decent burial when dead. Our jails
almshouses, asylums and coroners' OF.
fees were never designed to become
places of traffic in human bodies. In
early life doubtless many of those who
die in INDECENT circumstances in olt
age paid their fair share of taxes fol
the support of these institutions, in
Guiding the Potter's field, and when ad
versity overtakes them they are EMIT
led to the benefits which they, as
precaution, paid for in the days of thei
prosperity. The stranger who come
within our borders and meets death oi
the rail or elsewhere, ought to b
given the same decent burial tina
would be accorded a Delawarean if h
were to be overtaken by death
some other state.
The members Of the General Assem-
bly, are alive now. but they cannot te
how soon they will be dead, or unde
what circumstances. In considerin
how they will vote on this measuI
when it comes up, it is only necessar
for them to take the matter home
themselves and think whether, if the
were to die in INDECENT circumstance
they would rather rest quietly in the
native state. or be sold for a song TO
medical college to become the playthin
of thoughtless boys who are preparir
themselves TO go out into the world /
doctors.
This bill is backed by certain persoi
