STATE HOSPITAL AFFAIRS.

There is no need Of haste in passing
The appropriation for the Delaware State
Hospital mt Farnhurst, further, perhaps,
than to provide for the $4,000 indebted
hrsS. In saying this we intend no opposi-
tion to The bill, nor yet criticism of the
management. The Hospital is a State
institution and therefore should be sub
.ect TO strict oversight and searching in
Nestigation to force strict compliance
with the law. There is a probability of
q too lenicnt Interpretation Of the law
in the matter of admitting inmates to the
hospital. There is a suggestion of this
in the increased amount demanded in
The biennial appropriations. In five years
this demand has doubled-has grown from
$4,000 for 1884 TO 100000 for 1902
with $4,000 as an extraordinary appro-
irlation to meet expenses in excess OF the
estimated sum appropriated two years
Hgo, The legislative record shows ap-
preparation on February 10, 1895 of 1884,

their fooling and elect two Republican

The fact remains that the Republicans.

WILLIAM T. PORTER.

In the death of William Il. Porter this
city loses an estimable and useful citi-
zen, one whose genial qualities endeared
him to every one privileged to enjoy his
acquaintance. Although not native
of Delaware, Mr.. Porter had lived her,
nearly all his life-from boyhood. Com
ing to the city when lad to become an
apprentice, he has seen it grow from a
comparatively small town to large and
important manufacturing center. Mr..
Porter grew with the city-grew big
enough to appreciate its advantages, its
achievements and its necessities. He
was one of the foremost in public work
i'll all these departments, and did much
by his ability and industry to promote
the general welfare. AS chairman Of the
Board Of Water Commissioners from its
inception until his death, he has prob
ably done more to establish and complete
the city's complete water supply system
than any other man. Growing up in
one of the most important mechanical
works of the city, Mr.. porter's whole
working men Of the city, and has been
known to them as a kind and liberal
friend. lie will he sincerely mourned

"Abuse is Not Argument"

From Wilmington Republican.
On January Is the members of the
General Assembly convened to ballot for
two U. 5. Senators ut Dover. They
have taken ballot every day at noon
since that time but with no result as
yet. There is not one good Republican
in this State who would rather see the
two seats vacant i'll the u. 5. Senate
than that the choice of the Union Re
publicans should be recognized and the
nlan from ClaymOnt sent along with
another Republican TO represent Della
ware ut Washington. a good many
hard and harsh things are now being
suid III the newspapers about the Union
KepuDiican candidate, which should be
left unsiid. Abuse did not prevent NJ.
;. Quay from going to the U. 5. Senate
from Pennsylvania. Nearly every paper
in PENNSYLVANIA was against Quay and
there was nothing too low and mean
| that was not thrown at his door. Nitu-
pcratiOn aud calumny did not prevent
The "oid man" as he is Familiarity called
| from reaching the U. 5. Senate. Abuse
| is not argument. Individuals are not
the great majority. One mans vote, be
| he ever SO humble, is as good as his
| rich employers. His ballot means Just
as much. Ii is the; masses that count
and they should be respected as much
as the man who moves i'll Il more select
circle Of friends and acquaintances. The
man who wears the overalls is as power
| full in politics and often more so than the
business man who stays away from the
primaries and only votes on election day,
because he is afraid he might lose bust
ness ii he did not vote. We think that
attacks upon .iddicks, especially at this
time, are ill advised and will only result
in helping the Democratic party and the
tearing asnndrr Of the Republican party.
1t is only by the election OF two Repub-
lican L. 5. Senators that that party will
be successful in clecting their candidates
at the coming election. The men who
are advocating the suicidal policy of
sooner two vacancies in the U. S. Senate

ing Delaware ut the late election. 1t il
was possible to elect two Senators and
leave Mr.. Addicks out Of it, we would
say well and good. But that is i'm
possible, as the Union Republicans have
at least seventeen votes in the General
Assembly and from what we have been
able to observe, they are sure to stick to
their candidate TO the last. The Even.
ing journal is pursuing course laid

The Workingmen's Share.
From the New York Sun.

From the New York Sun.
In recent issue of the Sun there ap-
peared an editorial article citing the
amount Of wages paid to the workingmen
on the railroads OF the State of Penn
sylvania as a refutation of the oft-re-
peated fallacy that the workingmen in
this country do not receive their share
of what they help to produce. A cor
respondent questioned the accuracy of
the figures and the correctness of the
deductions from them, asserting that
the high-priced salaries OF the officials
Of the railroad We're not included in the
sum paid to the various employees of the
companies. The Sun made further in
vestigations and learned that the salaries
paid to officials, and, indeed, to strictly
clerical help, rarely amounted to more
than per cent. and generally only to
about per cent. of the sum paid as
wages or as salaries to all on the pay.
rolls.
In the article on the development of
steel by Andrew Carnegie, printed in
the admirable collection of articles on the
accomplishments of the nineteenth CEN
fury by the Evening Post, there is the
strongest confirmation Of The SUMS DO
>liion' III SpeHhlllS OF Ine causes winch
have cheapened the cost of steel, Mr..
Carnegie says:
There is one element of cost, how
ever, which every student OF sociology
will rejoice to know has not been cheap
med, and that is human labor. It has
risen. and the tendency is to higher
earnings per man. In one of the largest
steel works last year the average wages
per man. including all paid by the day,
aborers, boys, mechanics, exceeded 81
ner day-for 81 days. Fewer men be-
ing required. the labor cost per ton is
less, and. contrary to the opinion often
expressed these men are Of higher quail
ty as men. 1t is a mistake to suppose
that men are becoming mere machines.

the same year $4,000 for the years 1878,
while the appropriation Of the last ses-
sion of the Legislature was 100000 for the
years 1899 and 1900 with an acknowledged
deficit of $4,000. Now the sum asked for
is 100000 for the next two years. From
these figures it appears that the cost of
supporting the Hospital has increased at
a rate Of from $1,000 to $4,000 year,
an increase that, to the laymen at least,
can only be accounted for either in an i'll
creased per capita cost for the inmates,
or very large and steady increase of
population. In making this suggestion
we are aware that the popularity of this
institution has had the effect of bringing
to it as patient every case Of mental
infrmity where the patient has become
u trouble to or tax upon his or her
family. The present law is probably
promotiye OF that end. Ii we remember
rightly patients are admitted on the
certificate of two or more physicians
who are paid by the State for making
the examination of the patient, and that
upon that certificate the admission OF
the patient is obligatory. We are not
sure that this is exactly the law in the
case, but that it is exact enough to indi.
cate just how under its administration
the Hospital population might be in
creased by the admission of patients
who should either be rejected or admit
ted as pay patients at the cost of theil
relatives. At any rate the steady anc
large increase of the sum asked for il
the semi-annual appropriations suggest.

timent out Of the State Hospital appro-
priation bill is bit of low down D l.

III the House or Senate who would hest
support of the Hospital. There was no
need Of haste. A bill to carry the
amount of the deficit of $4,000 in the
accounts Of the last two years could
have been passed to relieve the treasury
of the Hospital, and the regular appro-
riatlon could have gone leisurely through
the Legislature, been fully and carefully
considered as so important matter
should be, and there would have been
no trouble. The unseemly haste Of the
friends of the institution is what has
made the trouble and created any sus.
