APRRrHENoINe CRIMINALS.

We presume that never in the his
tory OF Delaware has there been
greater epidemic OF crime than that
which has scourged us during the past
year. Shooting aftrays and outraecs
have grown SO common that we cam
not keep track OF them. burglary is
common. and almost every day We are
forced TO chronicle some new bit Of
crime. This devitry covers a wide
range. from the theft OF a pair Of shoes

But the worst thing about It Is that
few OF these despcradocs are punished.

Marshallton is the scene Of the
pranks Of a negro desperate. His
amusement takes the form of driving
a brother man up a tree and then en-
deavoring to perforate him. BY way OF
variety he visits the homes Of the coll
ored population and terrorizes the wo-
men. A posse went on an expedition
recently armed cap-a-pie and corralled
the bad man in a negro cabin. He had
an axe which he threatened TO use.
and in some way after a parley he
escaped through the back door. But
the onicers OF the law had the salts
faction OF knowing that he didn't come
out through the front door. They
should have remembered that these
negro habitations are peculiarly con-
structed. having rear entranco--or
rather. exit What Marshallton needs
is TO capture such interesting char
acsers and send them over to Grecn-
bank so that Warden Meserve may
minister TO their wants. A bad man
at large is like the smalpox--it is con-
tagious.

Senator Penrose has introduced bill

BISHOP rALsor's IDEA.

Bishop Talbot at tho dinner Of the !
Church Club last night touched upon
the duty OF the members Of the church I
as active factors in the preservation OF
our institutions lie expressed the
opinion that a man who allows political
prostitutes 10 flourish ana to degrade
and debase the public life, without
making an effort 10 check the evils. Is
a traitor to the church. lie main
tanned that the principles OF Christian
teaching should apply everywhere, and
that they are needed nowhere more
urgently than at the polls and in our
government lie declared it his belief
that bribery and corruption are on
the increase throughout the country
and that there seems to be tendency
on the part of good men, either TO ig-
more the existence OF these evils. or to
regard them as necessary Incidents Of
our political system.
Ilo omphatically declared that
man could perform a high religious SER
vice by cnsting ballot for political
purity: 'ho can pray-he is praying
when he does it, just as much as
though he were on his knees In his
closet" He msionced the control OF
the machine in PennsylyNia, the de-
feat OF Mayor LOW IN New York, and
the awful debauohery OF Delaware,
which has given us national repu-
tation.
Such utterances from distinguish
ed clergyman cannot be passed over
lightly. for Bishop Talbot is no mere
recuse who is wont to discuss such
matters academically. His wide ex-
perience In the mining camps OF the
West and in his large field in the East
has brought him into intimate rela-
tions with many classes OF men and
given him a fun insight into public nf-
fairs. Is political corruption growing :?
II would take an optlmist TO answer in
the negative. Are people, then, gener-
ally growing more corrupt? we do
not think so, but we believe that there
has grown up In the public mind feel
ing that the ordinary principles OF
moralltl. religion aud right liying
somehow do not apply TO politics
There are men all around us who are
honest and trustworthy In every rela-
tlon in life until they reach the polls,
and then by their ballots they win en-
dorse the greatest scoundrel with full
knowledge. and help TO fasten a sys-
tenn OF debauchery on the people, re-
joicing IN their success.
Bishop Talbot wishes TO awaken the
slumbering consciences OF such men,
and to take the twist out OF their
minds. There is much force in his
assertion that a man may pray, in the
proper discharge OF his duty of casting
his ballot. Usually a man regards his
vote as his own personal property; tho
thoughtml man thinks IL belongs &c
the state and that he only holds Il II
trust. while Bishop Talbot makes It tn,
instrument Of God. Perhaps he il
right. and we are certain that NOR,
of this sort OF preaching in all de
nominations would be productive o
great good.

several weeks in order TO bring about this

qualification to all concerned to realize
rsat the house viii be ready for the open

usual afternoon performance on Monday
will not take place.
II has BEEN stated that all downstairs
seats in the Garrick are TO be priced at

phatically yesterday that this is not true.

on the shoulders OF the two state de-
,ectives but whether or not they arc
as efficient as possible. the fact re-
mains that In the nature Of things they
cannot cover the ontire state. There
are many districts remote frlA the
railroads which to reach requ rs a

be done satisfactorily there should be
at least six % these officers. four Of
which should be stationed in the rural
parts of the state.
But II seems to us that greater 1trcsa
should be placed on the duties OF con-
stables, and we think it would be ad-
visable for our Legislature to pass a
general law providing for proper COM
pensatlon for these officers and charg-
ING them with the duty Of apprehend-
ing all criminals. Thcn we should
havc q set OF men representing every
community. and they could be held re-
sponsiblc. At present the following is
the usual procedure: a crime is COM
mltted in a rural section. The con-
stable hears of it. and goes to look for
the offender. Realizing that his COM
pensation is slight and that there is no
expense fund TO draw upon. and with
the knowledge that the state has pro-
vided detectives to hunt down criin-
inals he soon gives up the search: he
doesn't propose 20 take his time and
put his life in jeopardy to perform q
thankless task. The next day the
sheriff arrives and looks over the
ground. ana deciding that by that time
special skill is required to trace the
suspect, telegraphs for State detec-
tive. lie appears the next day find
