MADISON. Wis, Feb. 17.-Gov. Scofeld
returned last night from Oconto Among
the first things he took up this morning
was the petition for the removal of Sher--
Samuel T. Walker, of Oneida county. He
found the petition to be improperly
drawn. and returned it to the senders to
have the papers corrected. Until this Is
done no information will be given con-
corning the nature Of the charges, as the
governor says they are of too serious O
character to be made public, unless they
are made in proper form.

When man carries pistol con-
stantly; slipping it into his pocket
every morning and taking It out at
night; feeling its constant pressure
against his person-these things tend
TO familiarize his mind with the idea OF
killing and lowers his conception of the
sacredness of human life. What does
a man carry pistol for? To shoot
some other man with. The miserable
thing is made expressly to kill human
beings; it has no other earthly purpose.
What hardening effect it must have,
then, upon the conscience and heart of
a man who carries it constantly in his
pocket and lives in daily contact with
it and with the idea it constantly sug-
gests to his mind. Let us warn young
men, and some old ones, in Marietta
and Cobb county, not to carry pistols,
and then you will avoid doing rash
act.

JAMES M0ULDER FOUND.
Missing Man Located in the Marshes n
Short Distance Above Claymont.

Missing Man Located in the Marshes n
short Distance Above Claymont.
James Mouldor, aged 76 years, who
disappeared from his home 10 Chester.
Pa, on Sunday, was found at noon
Tuesday in the marshes between Clay
mont and Marcus Hook. He had evil
IDENTIFY spent most OF his time since
Sunday 10 wandering about near tho
river, between Chester and Claymont,
and was very weak when located and
happened. 1t is believed he was ex-
posed to Mondays storm. What induced
him to stray from home is not known.
Eben y. Baldwin, station agent at
Claymont, gave the clue which resulted
in the finding Of the aged man. On
Monday MIR. Baldwin learned that a
man answering Mr.. Moulder's de.
soription had been seen in the vicinity
Of Ciaymont and he SO informed the
Chester authorities. On Monday after
noon, after providing himself with long
rubber boots, he beaded a searching
party through the marshes in the
vicinity of Claymont and Marcus Hook,
Although the search was not successful
the first day, the party was not dis.
heartened and the work was resumed
Tuesday, with the result as stated
above. 5a
While wading through the marshes
Mr.. Baldwin found bottle containing
n note purporting to have been sci
adrift by Anthony Finerty of Lenni,
Delaware county, Pa, on October 26tb,
1885, So far as Mr.. Baldwin knows
tho note had no special Significance.

Elsewhere in this issue we publish
the figures, taken from the report Of
the auditors, showing the expense Of
maintaining the county prison at New
Castle for the year 1899. The total Is
s33, 2l4.60. Estimating the average
number of inmates at 200, this total
indicates cost Of about As cents per
day per capita.
Such q rate is largely excessive.
There are plenty of like institutions
in the country where the cost Of main
tenanoe Of inmates is oplyf20. cents per
day per capita, and in many places the
cost is even lees. In IL Chester county
prison at West Chester, for instance,
the cost Of feeding prisoners-.the prin-
cipal item Of the expense been
brought down to only 5 cents per day
per capita, and the prisoners there are
as we'll fed as they are at New Castle.
OF the total cost Of the jail, the
largest item is SIG, Asa, paid to the
sheriff for the board Of prisoners. That
this rate of payment is excessive has
frequently been shown, but no attempt
at reform was ever made. That fifty
per cent of this SUN would leave the
sheriff large profit is capable OF
demonstration by comparison with the
cost Of feeding prisoners at most any
other institution in the country.
Next in size is the item Of s7.517. n
for clothing and supplies for prisoners,
and there is reason to believe that a
saving could be effected in this item,
without impairirg the quality of the
supplies and clothing or depriving the
inmates of anything that they really
should have Another lsrgeaitenl is
that of So, 226 81 for convict labor, in
Guiding cost Of material and transportn-
tion. 1t is doubtful IL the financial
results Of the prison labor, which COM
prises breaking stone for road -mending,
are sufficient to warrant this outlay.
These three items make a total of
500, 1913. 81. and the balance, i,015. 80,
represents the cost Of water and light,
and salaries Of wardens, Jail commits.
sioners and physicians. The item for
water and light was s1,Si4.40. No
criticism can be urged against these
figures, which seem hut reasonable.
| Fortunately for the taxpayers, another
year will see most of the prisoners now
confined at the county jail aocommo-
dated at the county workhouse, now in
course Of construction. With the OK.
rerieuce at hand, the management Of
the worhhouse should be able to main.
tam. the institution at a much less cost
than attends the management of the
county Jail, in addition to making a
profit from the labor of the inmates.
This ought to effect financial reform
that will be felt and appreciated.

Change Of sentiment 4, Porto Rico.


In Porto Rico the Fourth of July
was observed in very perfunctory
manner, few of the natives making any
ATTEMPT at display. But tho celebra-
tion of the day of st. Jago, a patron
Spanish saint, on yesterday week, was
an occasion of the greatest enthusiasm,
and the flag Of Spain was largely in
evidence in the lavish decorations. And
yet, when General Miles captured the
island of PortoRico, the people welcomed
their conquerors with loud acclaim and
loyfully celebrated their release from
he rule of Spain.
1t is not hard to determine the cause
Of this revulsion of feeling on the part
of the Porto Rico people. Two years
ago, when their island, by the fate of
war, became United States territory,
they rejoiced that they were to become
connected as citizens with the greatest
country in the world. They opened
their hearts to American citizenship
and gladly renounoed their allegiance
to Spain. But soon they found that
they were people without country.
That they we're subjects OF taxation by
government in which they were de
MED representation. That they wer,
mere creatures, not citizens, aud tha
their rosy anticipations when the,
were taken within the limits of til,
United States were but the illusions o
pleasant dream.
Like the course Of the administration
toward the Philippines, the troatmen
of Porto Rico by the Mckinley admin
stration Is o scandal and reproaoh.

-Insolenos Of the Union Republican Boss

-InsoIenco OF the Union Republican Boss,
4 At q meeting Of the New Castle
County Republican Committee, Satur.
day afternoon, a resolution was adopted
instructing committee TO confer
with the Union Republican County
Committee. with a view to having
common primaries in this county for
the domination of candidates for all
county, district and hundred Offices to
DO voted for at the election in Novem-
Der.
When this action was communicated
to J. Edward Addicks, Sunday, he
said, according to report In the Morn
ing News, that there should be no
patchwork harmony" but there
should be Zone ticket all the way
through from top to bottom, including
the Legislature, otherwise there would
be two entire tickets.'' Mr.. Addicks
is further quoted as saying that his
party would nominate DIR. George W.
Marshall for governor, DIR. Caleb r.
Layton for Congress and Walter II.
Hayes for attorney general.
As Mr.. Addicks is the boss Of the
Union Republican organization, what
he says goes, and the above declaration
may therefore be accepted as an official
ultimatnm. 1t will be observed, in the
first place, that he repudiates the sug-
gestiou OF common primaries in New
Castle county, unless union on the
entire State and local tickets, inolud.
ing the Legislative tickets, goes with
1t. Mr.. Addicks well Knows that in a
contest at common primaries in New
Castle county his faction would be over.
whelmingly defeated. and left without
single candidate. He also knows that
the votes of his faction, cast against
the nominees Of the Republican party
In New Castle county, would defeat
them beyond the shadow of doubt.
Therefore, the ultimatum goes forth oil
!. no common primaries unless there is
an agreement upon the entire ticket
throughout the State, including Mr..
Addicks candidates for governor, Con.
gress and attorney general, and Mr..
Addicks' candidates for the Legisla
ture.
Here is bold and defiant threat
Unless the Republicans of New Castle
county consent to vote for an Addickl
Legislature and for Mr.. Addicks
nominee for governor, Congress ant
attorney general, Mr.. Addicks viii
defeat every Republican candidate TO
Office in New Castle county.
1t remains to be seen what effect thi
impudent threat will have.

Legality Of Minority Representation.

Legality pf Minority Representation.
In the Sunday Star, last Sunday, was
printed al uble and carefully prepared
opinion by Mr.. j. Harvey WhitemaD Of
the New Castle county bar upon the
question of the constitutionality Of q
proposed provision in the new city
charter designed to secure minority
representation In the City Council. The
plan proposed is the customary one of
restricting the voter In the number OF
candidates in district that he may
vote for. For instance, with three candi-
dates to be elected in district, no
voter would be permitted to vote for
more than two, which would give the
majority Two members and the
minority one. The contention had
been advanced that it would not be
constitutional to thus restrict the right
of a voter to have a voice in the selec
tion of all the members to be chosen.
In his opinion Mr.. Whiteman care.
fully and exhaustively reviews the cub
ject, quoting presidents and law, and
decisions of the past bearing upon the
subject, His conclusions are II am,
therefore, clearly of the opinion that
the term all officers that now are OF
hereafter may be elected by the people,
used In the Constitution, has reference
to officers Of the State government, and
not to corporate officers, and upon gen
eral principles, where there is no con-
stitutional restrictions, the power of
the Legislature to prescribe the mode
of appointment or election Of corporate
officers is complete and its discretion
uncomfortable. Hence, the Legislature
of Delaware may, In the exercise of its
sovereign power, place such restric-
tions as il may deem proper upon the
voters Of Wilmington in the election Of
members of Council, or Of any other
officers Of the city government, and
may prescribe such method as it may
believe to be best for the selection Of
such officers...'
As to the propriety and Importance Of
minority rept esentation in all legisls-
tive bodies, national, State or munich
pal, there can be no question, and any
provision Of law that tends to insure
such minority ropr esentation in places
where the preponderance of one politi-
cal party would ordinarily defeat it,
can but be regarded as wise measure.
1t is, therefore, encouraging to be az.
sured by lawyer of the ability and OK.
perienoe of Mr.. Whiteman that the
Constitution interposes no barrier to
the incorporation OF the minority rerre.
sentation feature in our proposed new
city charter.
Those interested in the subject may
secure printed copies of Mr.. White
mans opinion by applying at the Office
of the Sunday Star.
