A Good souncE on PRIDE

Dover. we are told, is clamoring for
the workhouse. It would be a source
OF local pride. we are told. 1t would
be an inspiriting sight to a visitor TO
gaze on the classic lines Of that temple
Of learning, the Conference Academy;
to contemplate the painted walls OF the
state House, where Legislatures meet
TO vote for Addiclls, and where the
Secretary Of State writes the Cover
nor's proclamations, and incidentally
SCOOPS in the fees. Then TO turn, and
as a climax, to look upon the massive
walls OF a workhouse, with its barred
windows and sunless cells, and to re-
jolce in the thought that It is Dover's
very own
Doubtless the people Of Kent and
Sussex may need it badly. We do not
question that hundreds OF substantial
citizens who have dallied with seduc-
tive election bribes. could derive great
benefit from a years retreat in so noble
an institution. But then there are
those Of this county. from Claymont
TO New Castle. who need IL, too. AS
the Morning News well says; New Cas-
tie furnishes at least nine-tenths Of the
prisoners" Think Of thatl Isn't It
matter for just pride? And doesn't 1t
follow that if we furnish the prisoners
we should have the prison? Otherwise
what is the use Of having prisoners9
Ifit is necessary to show our claim We
could easily furnish few more With

it. Presumably the district he refers
to is that which gave Senator Alice his
majority, which throws some light on
the methods employed to elect that
statesman.
So, according to that story, 1870 men
in one lot we're bought, and 80 in an
other lot, making 2lO that we're bought
by one party in that single distr ct It
was this vote that made a senator. a
representative and which was counted
in when Byrnes majority was made
up. This is among the most intelligent
and progressive districts in Kent
county, and if this proportion holds
throughout Kent, we should have a
total OF over 5000 purchased votes. In
Sussex it is worse, and this verihes our
former statement that in Kent and
Sussex the Union Republicans polled
from six to seven thousand votes by
the use OF money.
These facts are borne out in another
way: 1t has been stated repeatedly
that at the last election Addicxs put
in Kent and Sussex $4,000 each. Sup
posing THAT the purchased voter re-
ceived ap average Of SIS a head. the
result would be 6,666. and this appar-
emily is not far from correct

Special 10 the Evening Journal.

Special TO the Evening Journal.
Dover, Dec. 2.-Now that the New
Castle county workhouse has been
burned, the people of lower Delaware
believe that instead Of rebuilding che
institution on its present site, State
workhouse should be established in a
more central location. This matter
has been agitated for some time by the
people of Kent and Sussex counties.
and recently the subject has bsen Wig
|orously discussed, but with the brand
new New Castle county Institution, it
has seemed almost impossible to se-
cure legislation on the matter. Now
that the building has been destroyed,
and some immediate steps must be
taken to provide for the prisoners Of
that institution, the legislators Will be
Obliged TO take some hurried action.
As to the location, which seems now
to be the only subject for dispute,
many believe that the institution
should be located at or near Dover
which is the most central location pro-
durable. 1t was stated here today that

GoLpwIN SMITHS OPINION

The following from the pen Of Pro-

tion:
President Roosevelt is undoubtedly
man Of force and Of generous i'm

This he showed in yielding to the cor

FROM ms ASHES

The trustees Of the workhouse have
decided TO rebuild the burned structure
at once. This is the only thing to do.
If the county has been put to loss be-
cause OF defective construction, a fail
ure to place a proper amount OF insur-
ance or from any other cause, il must
be looked into, but meanwhile the ne
cessity of immediate rebuilding is i'm
peratlve. There is tied up in the struc-
ture too much money to admit of any
thing but repairing whatever damage
has been sustained.
Stories come from down the State to
the effect that the Legislature will be
asked to build a State workhouse, to
be located in Dover, the county insti-
tuition to be abandoned. This is rank
nonsense. The property at Greenbank
is probably worth s15OOOO as it stands,
and New Castle doesn't propose to
throw this away and pay the greater
share of the expense for building an
other in Dover If Kent and Sussex
had agreed to a State workhouse years
ago, the institution might have been
located wherever they thought fit We
don't want it, but look upon it is an uni-
avoidable necessity. Since the bulk Of
prisoners for State institution would
naturally come from the centre OF

as a State institution is now all that.

We do not wish to dwell on an un-

one district. It reads:
