TAAT sussEX PRIsoN.

IL has long been known that the Sus-
sex county jail is reproach to the
State and a disgrace to Sussex county.
But with an easy-going spirit. our sus-
sex neghbors have put Off the matter
Of reforms that are most urgent.
From time to time The Evening Jour
nal has discussed the matter, not from
a desire TO make a sensation, but be-
cause leading citizens Of Sussex have
asked us to expose the actual condi-
tions. AS long ago as last July Jour
nal reporter visited Georgetown and
secured information from responsible
persons, which was published after the
sheriff had been given an opportunity
to confirm or deny the allegations.
Tho Jail is a tumble-down structure
that contains no prisoner who really
wants to get out. 1t is falling to pieces,
is unsantary and unhealthy. The pris-
oners are herded together, have no
occupation and little oversight. Pris-
oners have the freedom OF the yard OF
the town. and are even allowed 10 go
TO their homes They work on the
shern's farm, cook their own food and
life is Conducted in a careless, hap
hazard manner
It is about everything that a jail
should not be; It provides no discipline
impresses no lesson OF industry or re-
sponsibility, and the inmates go out al
the expiration OF their terms infinitely
worse than when they entered why
does not the Sussex Levy Court look
into the matter and provide better
building? Why does not the Woman.
Club Of Georgetown, which is so muci
interested in the elevation OF the race
devote some time to discussing the con
dltion OF affairs?
The Philadelphia papers have taken fl
up, printing the fullest particulars o.
the deplorable condition. Matters will
not be helped by denouncing these stor
les as base ISLANDERS. for they are sub
stantially true. If suggestions are fl
order, we ask II It would not be wei
to make the New Castle workhouse
state institution and send all long
term prisoners there? Then the iails il
the lower counties might be fixed III
and kept for short-term prisoners an,
those awaiting trial.

The credit for saving the battleship

down the ammunition hoist Monson
knew instantly what must be done. 1t
was to shut the magazine lest the

sink the ship.
If Monson had stayed in the handling

GETTING MORE SLOPPY.

Garbage" is not an attractive sub
ject. yet in the course Of human events
It comes up for consideration And
when It is uppermost It demands close
scrutiny.
So while we are considering the diff
ferenoes between Council and the Board
OF Health. growing out OF the virtual
refusal OF the former TO authorize the
printing Of the report Of the latter be-
cause It reflected on the garbage coll
lectors. let us so back to the beginning.
We shall find that we are paying an
extra $1,000 year for efficient work
since contracts for garbage collections
were given to the highest bidders.
Other responsible bidders at lower
figure We're turned down on the nimsy
pretext that the old contractors having
and experience. would do the best work.
It cost us an extra $1,000
A morning paper is good enough TO
say that it is stated that there has
never been any attempt on the part Of
Council to avoid printing the report-a
rather bland statement after the COM
mittee appointed by Council has urged
the Board of Health 20 revise its re-
port, and failing TO have this done has
recommended what by courtesy may be
termed an investigation TO delay the
matter further.
Now at this investigation the con-
tractors viii appear and make their de-
fense- They'll be there. for they have
everything at stake. The householders
are invited to make complaints In writ
ing They win not do fl. They would
be at disadvantage because they have
not kept set Of books in which to
enter the derelictions OF garbage coll
lectors; ana they do not propose TO have
their names dragged before the public

THE MAIN POINT.

Republican Glasses IN the Sunday
Star sums up the work OF the Republi-
can state convention and the feeling
displayed In the following admirable
manner:
The party leaders and managers Of
the Regular Republican state conven-
tlon, held at Dover last Tuesday, can
congratulate themselves upon the very
excellent showing made on that occa-
sion. The convention was composed Of
a representative class Of the best ele-
ment OF Delaware and there was mani
fest at Il a freedom OF individual opin-
ion and action which made it very un-
comfortable to those who incline to
boss domination IN politics. With the
exception Of certain healthy friction the
convention moved harmoniously. The
interest manifested in it was far great
er than was expected, and indicates "a
strong desire on the part of the party
workers to inaugurate and conduct a
successful Republican campaign in Del
aware this year
We cannot recall time when there
has not been desire on the part OF an
the leaders Of the party who IN a large
measure were intrusted with the man
agement Of its affairs, to give all who
We're IN sympathy with It's general pur-
poses a full opportunity TO join in its
campaigns ana participate in its coun-
ellis. It is ever necessary for a party
to preserve It's integrity, and to do this
It must take every precaution to ex-
clude from It's councils those who by
their acts appear to be out Of harmony
with its purposes,
We see no reason Why any such ques-
tions should arise In the coming cam
paign, since an the elements that are
likely to affiliate with the Republican
party were represented IN the conven-
tion. They were participants, and join
ed IN the adoption Of platform. Thai
platform clearly set forth the principles
Of the party, and whether an have been
faithful to those standards IN the past
or have suddenly become attached to
them, it matters not. The declaration
Of that convention IS like the constitu-
tlon OF the state. the fundamental law
and as long as It Is maintained in spirit
as well as IN letter. an else is trivial.
