Charges against Jail management
preferred by former inmates of the in
atitution are not. as general thing,
entitled to credeucs or consideration,
but Robert Murphy, nm ex.prisonsr who
writes to the SUNDAY Star about the
management of the New Castle Jail,
states wholesome truth in the follow
ing:
will tako this opportunity to sug-
gest that Delaware should allow som
mutation time to her prisoners, and
that anyone who proves refractory or
breaks the rules should lose some or oil
Of his good time; according TO the
gravity Of his offence.
BY this means a prisoner will be

eBcapes will be OF less frequent occur.
renee. Even prisoners are human and
should receive humane treatment In q
civilized and enlightened State like
Delaware.
No one doubts the necessity of prison
reform in this State, and it is re-
proaeh that the testimony OF prisoner
should be required to emphasize th,
fact. This 10 subject that the mex
session Of the General Assembly shouls

OF his war record recently compiled

OF intelligence aud education In tho
One Hundred and Eighteenth was re-
markably high. Tha exceptional cir
cumsiancaa under which the regiment
was organized drew many bright men

Every good citizsn of Wilmington ia

For the first time in years, citizens of

i. Has neen ..HauIea Down. before.

To the senaeless clamor OF the lingo
press that "where our flag has been
oncs raised it must never be haulsd
down, the New York Evening Post
makes this fitting reply:
1t is put forth az though ii we're
maintainahle at all times and places,
yet n little historical retrospect will
show that such is not the ease. This
american flag was once erected in the
City of Mexico 10y our military forces,
with tbs sanction of our government.
1t had previously waved over the cities
Of Vera Cruz, Matamoros, and many
other Mexican towns. let when that
war came to an end ana the army was
withdraw, the flag was hauled down
and brought home. Ii was not left
dying over tho halls vf tho Monte
zumas. Nobody protested against
lowering it or hauling IL down.
If anybody had raised the cry that Ia
now so common in mons moutha, no
would have bsen cOnHidered "a little
cracked" Keeping the flag flying iu
Mexico after We had accomplished all
that We went to war for, and more,
would have committed us to an act OF
depreciation That nobody contemplated
or was prepared to sanction.
And during the war with Spain. Just
closed, our Gag has bsen raised in
| places where il must be hauled down
when conditions growing out of the
war are satisfactorily settled. 1t was
raised on Cuban soil when our soldiers
landed at Baiquira and it now flonte
over Santiago. Will it not be hauled
down when Cuba is given over to the
Cubans, as it must be. according to
the express language of Congress in
declaring war against Spain?
There will be no disgrace in hauling
down our flag under such circum.
atance5. When cur troops invade {
foreign country, our flag will float ovel
them. When they are Withdrawn, thu
flag will come With them. This is tn,
plain logic of the case, and lingo howl
of remonstrance will not affect til,
situation in the least

No more tsrrible tragedy was ever
Rnown 10 Delaware than the poisoning
case in Dover, as a result Of which two
estimabls women we're sent to their
death 10y the iieudiHh act OF an un
known assassin.
Tbs case Is ons of peculiar atrocity.
A woman received package by mail,
which, upon being opened. was found
TO enclose box of candy. the box also
containing a child's handkerchief, and
brief, but friendly mute, signed
MRS. O." With every reason to bs-
lave that the box conveyed nnly ths
kindly compliments ami good wishes
of sincere friend, the recipient
generously distributed the candy among
those who we're present when the death
trap was opened. and as q result eight
persons were msde I'LL, two OF whom
subsequently died. Tbs candy had
bsen dosed with deadly poison, which
accomplished it's work only too we'll.
From evidence furnished by the
wrapper, stamps and postmark on the
box, IL 10 believed that il was mailed
10 San Francisco, CAL, although this
presumption IL not yot sustained by
actual proof. Certain 1t 10. however,

Delaware, hut the sntirs country. Who
