ROAD BUILDING BY CoNVICrs

North CarOlina's experiment in the
employment CT cOnvicts in road build
ing has been very satisfactory, both in
point of efficiency and economy and in
the health Of the cOnvic.s. One aston
ishing discovery in the experiment is
that It costs less, by about cents a
day per convict, to maintain the prls-
Oners when at work on the roads than
when confined in jail, the basis OF the
calculation being the returns from
eighty counties. Being offered certain
inducements in The way Of reward or
shortening of term if they remain at
their posts and faithfully discharge
their duties the convicts are employed
on the roads much as hired labor would
be, under the control of a foreman,
without any guard. They are even al
lowed to remain at their hcmcs from
Saturday night to Monday morning
The result OF this astonishing expert
ment, which has been in operation for
year, has been according to Profess
sor Holmes. secretary CT the Road As
sCciation of North Carolina, that mot
convict has attempted to escape" Il
is also officially reported that as labor
ers the convics have been much more
efficient than the labor which can be
hired at ordinary prices" In addition,
the public punishment of criminals is
believed TO act as a deterrent on the
evil-dOers. Altogether, the North
Carolina experiment would seem to
show to other states that they have at
hand a force which may be economi-
cally employed in road construction.

Church in this town on Thursday even
ing, John Rawley, a notorious inebri-
ate, living near town, was, while in a
state of intOXicatiOn, given a pint OF
whiskey to enter the church and drink
the same during service. He was led
to the door by his instigators, three
rOughs of this place, and pushed in
side To the amazement Of pastor and
congregation, he staggered up the aisle
and quietly seated himself near the
pulpit While prayer was being offer
ed he deliberately sat up and drank tho
contents of the flask. He expectorated
on the carpet, puffed his rum-scented
breath in the face of Pastor O'Brlan,
and made himself otherwise cdius The
young men who provided him with the
whiskey and put him in the church
have not been arrested.
The steamer Frederick, which has

her kind that traverses Delaware bay.

THE PROTEST is GENERAL
POST OFFICES BEING RUN ON ON
ECONOMICAL BASIS.

Adyices from Washington are to the
effect that about forty postmasters
have replied to the circular sent out by
Postmaster-General Gary inquiring
what savings could be made in the ad-

remainder of the fiscal year. in order to
avert q deficiency in the postal apprO-

an economical basis, and that any fur

OF the question. The few exceptions to
this rule admit that some saving might
be made, but say it will cripple the ex-
isting service to cut down the force Of
employees. Postmaster Moore, of this
city, is among the number.
Meanwhile, personal remonstrances
against any reduction in force that

SENATOR GRAY's DUTY.

United States Senator George Gray
is nearly always keenly alive to the
interests of this city and state, and the
time has arrived when he can exercise
the great influence he has at Washing
ton in the public behalf and be ac-
corded the greatest praise if successful
in his endeavors The most pressing
demand upon him is to interfere in the
matter Of the reduction of the number
Of mail carriers in this city AT pres
ent the service is reasonably satisfac-
tory, and as good as IL can possibly
be made by Postmaster Moore with
the limited number Of men at his COM
mand The city is distrlcted, and the
carriers are intimately acquainted
with their duties and their districts.
To reduce the number would not only
cause the public to suffer to that ex-
tent, but would also uecessltate a re-
districting of the city, and be followed
by confusion for several weeks.
The second matter which should re-
ceive his attention is the permanent
improvement Of the Christiana river.
We need harbor, and the money re-
ceived from the government ought not
TO be wasted In temporary improve
ments and make-shifts. Our represen-
tatives in Congress should use their
utmost endoavors to obtain an appro-
priation sufficiently large 20 do work
Of a lasting character in Wilmington
harbor We want deep water; we want
big ships coming in to discharge and
take cargoes; we want them to come
In for repairs. and we want our ship
yards to be building big ships and dis
tributing millions of dollars among
the workingmen to find their way from
their pockets to the general channels
Of trade. Wilmington is willing to pay
her proportionate share of the expense
Of such permanent improvement and a
bin is now at Dover giving the city
authority to expend in such work one
dollar for every ten dollars expended
by the Federal government.
The members Of the Board OF Trade
and kindred organizations are keenly
alive to the situation and are earnest
in their demand that something be
donouand done quickly. The sooner
deep water comes the sooner the city
will experience a business revival and
grow to proportions which it would
have assumed long ago il its water ia
cities had been adequate.
