The action of London boniface 10
refusing to draw the color line at his
hotel, in the reception of delegates to
the coming Ecumenical Council, has
raised commotion among lot OF
white citizens of this country already
quartered there. He had made arrange.
ments to entertain n large party of
colored delegates, whereupon the white
American guests protested ana asked
him to assign the negroes to a different
part Of the house from that occupied
by them, but he resolutely refused. 1t
must be II great surprise to this London
hotekeeper to hear such protests from
delegates representing country whose
laws permit OF no discrimination OF
its citizens by reason Of trace, color or
previous condition Of servitude. -

delaware at the nnnalo Exposition.

According to general report-Hnd
there has been no specific denial--the
attempts to provide for Delawaro's
representation at the Pan American Ex-
position at Buffalo have resulted in a
ridiculous burlesqus. to the shame and
discredit of the State. 1t is true that
the Legislatre did not make liberal
appropriation-only sl,0oO--blt even
this small sum, iudioiously expended,
might have produced an exhibit suf-
ficient to at least inform visitors that
there is such State as Delaware,
instead Of leaving them with the inn
preston that Delaware is only little
crossroads corner store. not worthy Of
the name of State.
The first exhibit" according to
the reports, consisted of few
plates of rather measly looking
fruit, and 1t has been charged that
even this was not Delaware fruit,
but Was purchased in Buffalo. When
It became unfit to be longer kept on
dress parade the Delaware exhibit was
nil for several weeks. Now, we are
informed, it comprises large copy
Of George Alfred Townsend's poem.
"Cmsar Rodney's Ride" framed and
chung in conspicuous place." with O
scheme In contemplation for having
copies of this production printed for
free distribution.
AZ Philadelphia ia 1876 and at Chi
cago in 1898 the representation oil
Delaware was creditable, although in
neither instance was the expense in.
ordinate. The next expositions will be
those of Charleston and St. Louis, and,
with the disgraceful experience oil
Buffalo in mind, it will be the wish oil
all good citizens that no attempts BIZ
made to secure any representation o.
Delaware, unless such repreRentatio
shall be of a creditable character, In
every way worthy Of the State and itE
history.

An examination Of the law shows that the
chief warden at the county workhouse will
not be called upon to perform any execu-

however, to do the whipping and attend to

An investigation of the legislative

An investigation of the legislative
records shows that the appropriation
made on account OF the Delaware repre-
sentation at Buffalo was $1,000, and
that in the language of the bill, which
was passed about the first of March,
the appropriation was for the purpose
of "defrsying the expenses OF the State
Board of Agriculture in making an
exhibit Of the agricultural products Of
the State at the PAM American Exposi.
tion. " Can it be that the bulk of the
appropriation has been expended In
'tdefraying the expenses of the State
board of Agriculture in making the
exhibit The amount is not extrayu.
CANT for either purpose--for giving the
board good time or for making a
creditable display. Really, however.
the subject has attracted SO much at !.
tention, and the details are such un.
known quantities, that the State Boa
OF agriculture should make ample ex-
PLANTATION.

Tramps in Kent and Sussex Also.

According to the Dover Index, tramps
are costly item in Kent county, and
the expense of keeping them lodged
and fed also outs into the expenses of
Sussex. In fact, the tramp nuisance
In Delaware. for years a very annoying
one, has become a direct charge upon
the taxpayers, from one end Of the State
to ths other.
In Kent county short time SINCE
according to the Index, CHOSE who
keep an eye on our county government
were rather startled by the bills pre-
sented by the late sheriff OF this county
for board of prisoners. And all sorts
of rumors as to the questionable
means of commitment and discharge OF
prisoners, aud charges for board Of
prisoners arrested as trespasAers on
railroad property and Migrants, we're
afioat. The large sum OF $1,000 was
allowed the sheriff, and the Taxpayers
we've puzzled to know how SO large a
bill could be run up in such short
time In 30 small county"
No doubt an analysis OF the sherilf's
bills will reveal the mystery. For the
system Of committing tramps to jail for
their board and lodging is an expansive
one. 1t results Ia costs for the commit
mepts and charges for meals. And both
of these items are expressly prohibited
by law.
Dover and Georgetown are not SO far
from Wilmington that the sheriffs Of
Kent and Sussex counties may not see
good thing in this county ana profit
by imitation OF methods. Thus the
evil has spread over the State,
and the people are burdened by the
cost of huge bills Of costs for furnish
ing lodging aud meals to lazy tramps.
Are not the times ripe for reform?

The annual report of the Civil Service
Commission, just made public, states,
among other things, that during the
past year, 40, 1853 persons were examined
for public positions, of whom 50, OPS
Tassed. But of this oreditable pro.
portion only 1850 received appuint-
ments in the classified service, although
this nunner is the largest ever ap-
pointed heretofore IN single year. The
report also calls attention to the large
number of positions in the internal
revenue service which are excepted
from the provisions Of the civil service
rulos, and expresses the belief that the
best interests of the service require
that at least all deputy collectors
serving at the headquarters of thy
district, with the exception, perhaps,
OF the chief deputy, and also all deputies
who have practically permanent loca
tions at different points in the district,
should be returned to the competitive
classified service.

The County Comptroller Does Something.
Like diamond shining from the
gloom Of a muck hemp was the action OF
County Comptroller Kelley at the meet
ing of the Levy Court of New Castle
county, Tuesday afternoon.
Among the business OF the meeting
was the presentation of some bills for
jail supplies, and some Of these bills
were accompanied by the objections Of
the county comptroller. They were
for milk furnished to the jail, and very
properly he maintained that the sheriff
should pay for this milk, as he IL
allowed 20 cents per day per head for
feeding the inmates OF the institution.
And he is right. For the county to
pay the sheriff for feeding the prisoners
and to pay for the food in add.
tiun would be paying twice for one
service. AS it is probable that the
Levy Court has been paying these milk
bills for several years ar least, it il full
time to cry halt. Other bills pre-.
sented TO the Levy Court at this meet
ing we're objected to by the com ptroller
for q like resson-.that they covered
food supplies for which the sheriff
should pay from the very liberal allow.
ance made him bv the Levy Court.
County Comptroller Kelley has al
last found out that he can disseot the
expenditures OF the Levy Court and al
least apply the check of publicity,
through official protest, to those that
are not justified In law. Heretofore he
has approved the large claims for com.
.mitmentl fees and board charges on
account OF tramps committed to the
county jail, which are clearly moi
authorized by any law. Let him resolve
to hereafter subject these claims to a
critical analysis, and stamp them with
the seal of his official condemnation,
