NEW STATE HOUSE.

He matter of building a new State House
at Dover will come before the next session
Of the Legislature for serious consideration. The
people OF Dover, OF course, desirous of seeing
a new structure because il would be an ornament
to our capital town and would reflect credit upon
the State. And amorg men prominent in the
Legislature and in the affairs of the State the
State House project is looked upon with consid-
cradle favor Some of them believe that a suit
able building could be erected at cost not 10
exceed 100000.
1t may be said in passing that if such State
House should be erected in Delaware there would
be no fear that its construction would be marked
by disgraceful scandals such as surrounded the
erection OF the new capital building of Pennsyl-
vania. We do not do things in that way in Della
ware
But before the State House project is entered
into seriously there will be a survey of the gen
eral financial condition of the State Much de-
pends upon the report of the State Revenue Tax
alton Commission We trust the report will be
ready for consideration and adoption at the COM
ing session of the Legislature The members of
the commission have been examining into vari-
Gus sources OF revenue for the State, taking into
keen consideration the probable reduction of the
States revenue from the licensing of corpora
tons This source of revenue is always an un-
certain one and means must be provided to raise
the necessary revenue should the States funds
fall, owing to decline in the output of the char
ter granting mill Then, again, the loss OF reve-
nue. due TO the triumph of prohibition in the
lower counties must be thought Of
Even weighing all these matters, the State
revenue commissioners, are informed, believe
that when their report is completed it will pre-
sent feasible and fair scheme OF taxation so that
the financial stability of the State will not be inn
paired. If the States finances are in such cond-
ton as to warrant the expenditure Tor erecting
new State House. there will be but small opposi-
ton to the proposal. After all. the new State
House project will resolve itself into simple
business proposition
Another matter of public Improvements is the
building of good roads. We have made some
advancement in road building, and all the money
that the State can spare, comfortably should go
for that purpose. The revenue commissioners
should keep in mind that there should be no lag
ging in our road Development
The question may arise whether it would be
better to devote tho sum OF money contemplated
for a new State House or to employ the same
amount in improving our roads.
We hope that the revenue commissioners will
be able to evolve plan Of taxation which will
provide for ample Improvements in the State.

The Cycle Of Sports.
Pittsburg Post
Thanks TO the assiduity OF the sporting
editors and the amusement managers and
others who profit out Of these under
takings, we now have n pretty closely
continuous cycle Of sports of the better
sort Baseball on paper or on the dia-
mond is with us pretty generally the year
through The innovation OF training
season IN the South and post-season
games pretty well an more than eight
months Of the twelve.
Football is on in full swing before base
ball Is over. And basketball. hockey and
bowling. though not nearly Of the inn
portance and popularity Of these two out
door games. appealing strongly to specta-
tors to bridge from football to baseball
again, are growing IN favor.
The patronage and popularity OF these
sports is making to the profit Of a large
number OF young men well endowed with
muscle ana skin. who for the most part
recognize the opportunity they have OF
making large incomes easily by comport-
ing themselves In a sportsman like way.
And few OF the team owners. managers
and others have failed 20 exhibit a prof
table liberality and enterprise in giving
their patrons the best they can find for
them. The situation is one to please.
No man can measure the good that clean
sport is doing our people.

Pity Poor Papa.

Baltimore Sun.
The Secretary Of the Treasury reports
that just now there is a great demand for
gold for Christmas. The Father of the
Family not only is able to confirm this,
but he also finds a great demand for
greenbaclSs. banknotes, silver. nickel and
copper coins: also for an extension OF
credit and a mortgage ON his salary for
the next two months.
Father does well 10 give a large amount
Of thanks on Thanksgiving Day, for he
may be thankful Il he gets through the
weeks between that time and Christmas
without going to the hospital or the poor
house. He feels so much Ike a human
cash register that he wonders why they
don't put bells on him and ring up the
amounts whenever they pull him for
money.

HELP A WORTHY CAUSE.

IT HOSE high-minded persons who devote
\ great deal of time to charity are ALWAYS
confronted with the problem of raising funds nee
essary to carry on that work. Money is always
needed, but it does not flow in like cataract
The demands for cash are constant.
Therefore, various means must be resorted TO
In order to get the money, and one OF the latest
methods is that OF tag day. II we were to have
a tag day on about every other day of the caen-
dar, it would soon become a nuisance. and the
untagged man would not be the exception on the
streets when the human tagging machine was in
operation. But such frequency is unlikely.
One tag day proved rich in its harvest, and we
have no doubt that the tag day of the Delaware
Hospital will likewise realize a neat sum.
The tag day is a mild sort of hold up, but why
should not each citizen contribute by tag or
otherwise mite for the support of the charitable
Institutions around the city? Maybe the boys
will become as anxious to secure as many differ
ent kinds of tags as they TO secure cigar
bands. and surely the taggers can be no more per-
sistent and not half so numerous as the kid that
cries to you continually. Mister, give me that
cigar bandg II the ordinary man can purchase
cigars with frequency, why should he not once in
while submit to being tagged especially if the

Young daughters, with a blush on her check as

Really. we ought to do more for our charitable
Institutions Not very much is given TO them in
legacies by the well-to-do, although such egaces
arc becoming more frequent in Delaware-few
were heard of not SO many years ago.
The State and county help not so much as they
ought 10 do, but probably as much as they feel
able Our we-to-do people are not so bountful
towards charity as they should be--but they are
improving. SO. let us be patient and sympathetic
with tag day help the cause and be thankful in
our hearts that Wilmington has among her citi-
