why We Need a work-house.

The Sussex Journal says: Every time a
court is held in Delaware and the petty
cases are tried, and the prisoners sentenced
to from one to six months in the county
Jail at heavy expense to the taxpayers, the
more convinced We become that Delaware
needs work-house for just such persons
At the present term of court here one
colored man was sentenced to two months
imprisonment for orstealing half bushel OF
corn, valued at twenty cents. Another
was sentenced to six months impr ison.
meut for stealing wearing apparel worth
Sl.90. When We look at these things as
they should be seen, it certainly seems that
Delaware should have a place provided
where these people could be madeto work
and help pay the expense Of keeping them
and we believe the jails Of the state that
are now full Of these worthless thieves
would soon be empty.

upon Senator Davis and commends the
skill and judgement that he has al
ways shown in dealing with national
problems and rec mmends him to the
incoming legislature as the only can
sdidate Of the Republican party Of Min
nesota for United States senator. This
is a tribute well deserved. Senator
Davis has held up the hands Of the
president both before and since the be-
ginning of the war, and has done much
to keepin harmony the executive and
a not too partial senate. The passage
of the Hawaiian annexation bill, under
his management, rounds up a seriesSof
important services rendered by him as
chairman OF one of the very Important
committees of the senate. He has
shown himself a man Of great ability,
sound judgement and high patriotism.
The country looks with confidence to
Minnesota to retain Senator Davis in
his present position of usefulness and
honor ,, .s5S =
