INFORMATION
For Young Women Who May go to the
Exposition at St. Louis.

At the time of the Centennial in Phla-
delphia in 1876. the Young Womens
Christian Association, then six years o.d.
sent out circulars TO warn girls against
coming to see the exposition with the
idea of getting work. Notwithstanding
this. there were hundreds OF girls strand
ed who exhausted their small savings in
three or four days and found no work;
how to protect them was a problem
which is well remembered by those who
we're managers OF the association at that
time.
Desiring to meet these conditions, we
make the following suggestions:
See to It that you have money enough
for an emergency and for your return
home.
See to Il that before leaving home
you learn from reliable source that
your destination In St. Louis is a safe
one.
See to ii that you accept no directions
from either men or women on trains, il
unknown to YOU and that you report 20
the conductor any advances made. You
must depend upon yourself and the rail-
road officials for information concerning
trains. Any questions will be answered by
the Travellers Aid agents to he found al
tho stations on the way. They will be
women with badges.
See 20 e that you have an authorized
Travellers Aid card OF identification.
See TO St that you apply for these cards
to your organization. society or guild.
See TO Il that before accepting any en-
ployment in St. Louis. through advertise
mont or otherwise fhas tho tr,,roeifto,

A LAW .ARlplNe PEoPLE.

~ HERE has been a great deal said
about Delaware recently that as
no, altogether complimentary, OUT
politics having been made the text OF
many a fing. Ru. Delaware is not so
bad as she is painted, for we enforce a
part Of our laws and that is something.
We are told that there is a provision
In our laws which makes &C IT felony
for any man 70 pay the registration fee
OF another. and that there are about
10000 violations Of this law every two
years. We also hear a great deal about
bribery at elections, and It is probably
true that something like 10000 persons
exchange their votes for cash at every
general election. and we admit, too. that
none Of the offenders are punished.
But there is another side. Just turn
for a moment to the laws we do en-
force. II a boy plays bah on the street
we send our big-chested policeman ar
ter him and he is Brought into court
and duly fined by stern and upright
judge. a man sold watermelon last
sunday. and didn't Justice dog his heels

costs" A milk dealer bought some milk
from farmer and innocently sold It
again. It was a little below standard.
Was he warned? No. Why should he
have been? His was not political
offense, so he was Obliged to rake up
$40 and costs.
on, ia some respects we are a law
abiding people and we show our spirit
by an especial tenderness for the old
blue laws.

about Addicks that we might

overlooked. We take much pleasure In

Why Is he not content with the fun
and overfiowing measure Of public con-
tempt that is now his2 What more can
he hope to achieve? There are men OF
tenfold Addicks' wealth, men, too OF
mighty uncommon intellectual re-
source, and they have failed to elicit a
tithe OF the derision and obloquy which
Addicks enjoys.

Year in Church Work.

Special to The Evening Journal
Dover, Aug. 16.-Another overfiowing
congregation in Wesley Church Sunday
was the cause of much rejoicing among
local Methodists. The day was begun
with the iiftieth anniversary of some
active members of +. j. Stevenson's
morning class and the spiritual feeling
which pervaded this meeting put the
auditors in good religious spirit for
what was to come. Before one of the
largest congregations IN the church.
DR.. Barrett preached upon the text:
For a mans life consistent not of the
abundance Of the things which he pos
sesseth.'
At the close Of the sermon, another
invitation to the unsaved and un-
churched was extended and another
prominent young man came forward
and was admitted to membership on
probation.
Lawyer John 3. Hutton, the superin-
tendent, had charge OF the afternoon
exercises in the Sunday school and in
the evening another song service and
short sermon completed the sabbath
worship.

FOR A STATE pENlrENrlARv.

TOR several years The Evening
Journal has been insisting on
the importance Of improving the
jail methods Of the two lower counties.
In several Instances this has been in
terpreted Ia rather narrow spirit;
and It has been charged that the mo-
tive is TO make Of the workhouse OF
New Castle state institution. thus
relieving this county Of burden.
OF course the insinuation Is not worth
considering. New Castle is satisfied.
and her workhouse may now be maine
tained at a less cost than the old 3aii
system imposed. New Castle has solved
the problem pretty satisfactorily and Il
is FOR Kent and Sussex to seek an Inn
provement in their methods.
We think that the proposition that all
long-term prisoners should be kept
where it is impossible for them to es,
cape. compelled to work and governed
by modern ideas regarding prisoners
WIN be accepted by all save those IN
terested IN the pronts derived from thr
present system.
We are glad to see our contemporary
les holding this view. Yesterday w
quoted an editorial from the MHfor,
Chronicle urging such a plan, and to
day the Morning News adds its en-
dorsement But the tendency Is TO g
further and demand, either a residen
judge for each county with the sam,
powers that our municipal court pos
sesses. or terms OF court at leas
monthly to hear criminal cases
Now here Is a real reform that s.
worthy OF the attention or an public
spirited persons and which should ap
peal to members OF the Legislature.
The cases Of all detention prisoners
should be heard ana disposed o
promptly, ana then an prisoners sen
fenced to term OF year or NOR
should be sent to State penitentiary
Let The State put a proper valuation OF
the New Castle worlxhouse and buy II
Or II II prefers. let it authorize nev
workhouse Tor Kent and Sussex prison
ers. For although it is customary 70

yet the detention ana control OF Grim

LETTERS FROM
THE PEOPLE
Internal lmpudenee Disqusts.


Washington Hastings has written to
the editor Of a morning paper as fol-
lows:
Sir: Governor Hum. much to his
credit, announces that he viii not be a
candidate for reelection. Good for
Hum. He shows his sense. Mr.. Ad-
dicks also announces that Mr.. Henry
c. Conrad Is the man for whom all Re-
publicans shall vote for governor, and
that this isfnall" Well, we shall see
l think l remember away back in 1896
that Mr. Addicks sent a Telegram from
st. Louis saying that his delegation
would surely be admitted to seats in the
Republican National Convention Of that
year, and ending his dispatch with
this is final" It was final, and Mr.
Addicks and his delegation went home
by the next train.
! think II is likely to be so this time
/ do not think that the people are yet
quite ready to let any man. high or
low-money or no money--dlctate what
shall or shall not be done IN public af-
fairs, on the commercial idea alone.
For one, am not willing.
I have a little volume Of letters from
Horace Greeley 20 his business partner,
Charles A. Dana written in 1885, when
Greeley was IN the House OF Represen-
tatlves. IN which Greeley says, with
reference to a certain employe Of the
Tribune In Washington: Il would not
so much mind -- being a gem
ius II he wasn't a fool" SO It is to-
day. and so perhaps It will always be.
but we can all vote the other way If we
wish to and thus settle somebody. This
Internal impudence Is what disgusts.

PROFESSIONAL LOBBYISTS.

III HE plank In the platformon which
Joseph Folk was nominated calling
for laws to render the professional
lobbyist innocious, or rather. to put him
out Of business, is finding much favor
In the West 1t reads:
1--WE favor the passage OF laws maxi
ing professional lobbying in the legisla-
ture a felony. Corporate and other in
terests should be heard before commit
tees on measures in which they are
concerned, but the maintenance Of a
professional lobby at the state capital
leads to corruption"
That is a plank good enough for any
state or any party. We have little
doubt that the average Legislature
would be pretty decent and honest il
left TO itself and II it received only the
advice it asked for. or professional ad-
vice IL paid for. But the lobbyist Is
usually one who had something to dc
with the election OF certain candidates
or he pretends to have had. II not he
hints and more than hints at future
rewards. and oftentimes he uses golden
arguments.
Members Of the legislature frequently
have their manhood broken down as
much to their surprise as to the sur
prise Of their friends. At times the
pressure on them is something fright

REGISTRATION PURPOSES.

~ AID a Democratic worker yester-
- day: 1--WE Democrats don't ham
die the registration OF voters as
the Republicans do. They register
their men on the first three days, which
makes them eligible for the primaries.
Then they come up to the primaries to
vote and If there is contest, then all
whose registration fees have been paid
have to be paid again to vote. rhen
at the election they have to be bought
again. In numerous instances they
take money out OF the campaign fund
three tlmes-to register. to vote at the
primaries and to cast their ballots at
the general election"
NOW" he continued. 1--WE Democrats
do it differently We urge every man
to get registered by paying his own
money and by waiting tin the regis
tratlon days are nearly over we nnd
than many viii get up SUFFICIENT en-
thusiasm to register Of their own ac-
cord. We are not bothered by this ele-
ment at the primaries and II we have
10 buy them, we buy them at once.
OF course finally we manage to get all
our men registered"
There is great deal OF wisdom IN
the Democratic plan, and while the mo-
tive behind It is selfish and in the in
terests Of economy yet it has the merit
Of keeping out Of the primaries those
who IN no sense are good citizens. The
struggle between the two branches OF
the Republican party is responsible for
the degradation which Is frequently
shown at the primaries Hundreds are
registered for the purpose OF having
them vote for particular candidates.
This element that has had its fees paid
knows its power and it can never be
relied on until It's ballots are in the
box. To get them there requires per-
suaslon. and frequently something
more.
