The new Sing Sing prison, which New
York state is to build in the highlands
of the Hudson, is to be the largest in
stitution of its kind in the world. 1t
is to cover about 30 acres of land, and
the dollhouse. which is TO harbor 1000
prisoners, viii be surrounded by large
1 air SPACES. and the hight of the building
will be restricted TO four tiers, instead
Of or 10 tiers, as has been the Gus
tom. The aim N the construction viii
be TO make the new prison spacious
airy. well lighted. to provide it with
modern sanitary devices, and TO safe
guard in every way the health of its
inmates. The contrast with existing in
stitutions of its sort win be almost
startling. The idea in the new con-
struction viii be not only to provide Tor
the security Of the prisoners, but for
their comfort and happiness as we'll
something which would have been deem
ed unite out of order in the cid days.
How far an advance is to be marked
appears in the fact that enameied steel

nor walls VIII be OF porcelain enamel,
the same as bath tubs. Each cell viii
contain q WGtSl-E4bSCt HooA fSrtI%A1

steel case for papers. The dimension
of the cell viii be 6 by 10 on the floor
and eight feet six inches in hight A
modern locking device win be fitted IN
the prison which is said TO be absolute
" secure. The cells viii first be locked
hv the keeper, then interloeked by the
snnervisinc officer and again interlocked
from the warden g Office. Indeed, the
comforts provided FOR the prisoners VIII
far exceed those 10 which most OF them
have been accustomed, and Il would
seem to be not improbable that a resa-
denee in Sing Sing may come TO be
regarded as quite desirable among GER

his platform is the advocacy of block

possible that Lucas will be nominated

The party is still casting about for

some talk of nominating Carlos Long

Lane. He has no ambition for the job,
however.
Another name mentioned yesterday

MR.. VAN TRUMP,s REMOVAL.

HE oustng of Mr.. James c. Van Trump
from the Water Department has been done
in a curious manner. 1t was clearly the inten-
ton of the commissioners at the beginning to
drop Mr. Van Trump from the service He was
really put out and then reinstated in response, {
is fair to presume to the objections that had been
made to his removal The commissioners then
decided to carry out what evidently their
original intenton-dismiss Mr. Van Trump from
the department.
There must have DNsn some reason for his dis
missal that has not been made public. Surely the
department has some need for the services of
man reputed to be as proficient in his vocation as
Mr. Van Trump - Unless he has become incom-
petent unless there are other reasons which
have not been made public, Mr. Van Trump's
long record in the department should have en-
titled him to be continued in the service.
We do not presume that personal matters had
anything to do with his dismissal. 1t would be
well for the commissioners to give some plausi-
bic explanation OF their action

Editorial Opinion

popular" Choices For the Presidency.
New York Evening Sun.
Under the rules of which the leading
national political conventions are con-
stituted. il Is possible for the noiui-
nations for President and Vice-Presi-
dent to be fairly representative of the
will of the people who make up the two
major parties. 1t has long been ap-
parent to thoughtful men, however,
that scch an issue Of the convention
proceedings must always involve some-
thing of miraculous element. The
remarks which Senator Dick of Ohio.
made in Chicago Yesterday direct
attention TO what is very close to a
scandal in the way in which the So
called popular choices OF candidates for
the Presidency and Vice Presidency
are made.
There is no particular reason why
change in the basis Of representation
in the Republican National Convention
should be depended on the improbable
contingency of the passage of a bill by
Congress reducing the Southern Con-
gressional delegation in proportion to
the voting population in the South.
This seems to be part II Senator Dicks
idea but It is the defect of it. The
party's legislative body could very well
20 ahead on It's own account to es,
tablish representation in, its national
conventions on the basis of Republican
votes cast. or at all events on some
basis which would end the scandalous
conditions regularly arising from the
fact that about a quarter of the ra.
tional convention delegates come from
States which make absolutely no con-
tribution Of electoral votes to Republi-
can success. In order to complete the
reasonable assurance Ct popular
choice of candidates holders of ap-
pointed Federal offices might very well
be declared ineligible to become dele
gates 10 the national convention or to
the conventions which choose such
delegates.
The Democratic National conventions
have no advantage over the Republi-
can conventions in the matter OF per-
mitting the will Of the people to express
itself readily in the choice of candi-
dates. Proportional representation on
the basis Of party votes seems to be
indicated as a highly desirable rule for
lhO OcAhOoiaSS do wen aH III liS re
publicans. States almost irrevocably
Republican hold the balance Of power
in the Democratic conventions. just as
the delegates from Democratic States
are the controlling factor in making
Republican nominations Furthermore,
If the Republican conventions need to
eliminate the malign influence OF the
Federal office-holding machine, the
Democrats need just as much to free
themselves Of the vicious operations Of
the unit rule.

THE GAG AT vAssAR.

a 7 Vassar College at Poughkeepsie, n Y,
= there is a sentiment in favor of equal suf-
frage The suffragettes held meeting the other
day and, according to the president of the junior
class, who was active at the meeting, the gather
ing was clandestine affair, because President
Taylor, OF Vassar, is "awfully opposed" to female
suffrage.
The meeting was held in a graveyard a rather
strange place Tor the discussion OF presumably
live topic. Some forty of the girls were there
and many OF the graduates. They had "oy
time"
The speakers were women from New York ac-
tive in the movement. Several OF the prettiest
girls sat on the rails of the fence acting as senti-
nels to warn the assemblage of the possible an
proach OF President Taylor or of the Poughkeep-
sic police who might wander along
The speakers delivered the outrage argument
IN a manner that threatened to shake the tomb
stones from their foundations, until one golden
haired damsel in white frock exclaimed: ooh
what would DR.. Taylor say?" Roosevelt and his
race suicide doctrines were slashed with keen
words, one speaker asserting that the improve
ment OF the race, and not its increase, should be
sought. Then the speakers were questioned
and the graveyard conference was becoming very
warm when someone suggested that it was time

But what must be said of an institution which
does not openly permit bevy of pretty and intel
lectual girls to discuss a queston-even the suf-

MEETING OF MERCHANTS.

evening under auspicious circumstances. The as
socaton is doing a good work among the mer-
chants; it is of much benefit to them and prom
ses we'll for increasing the trade of the city.
Every wide-awake and up-to-date merchant
should become a member OF r>>s organization.
Much for the merchants can be accomplished by
an organization of this character.
The association could not have had a better
speaker before it last night than Mr. Thomas H.
Martindale of Philadelphia. He is one of the
foremost business men of Philadelphia active in
every part of the cty's life and, therefore, compe-
tent to give the local merchants sound advice and
the benefit OF his years of experience as business
man in a large city.
Mr. Martindale spoke of The value of advertis-
ing. AS he said that the association should be
three times large in Wilmington as it is, he
practically added that our merchants should do
three times much advertising. Coming as it
does from an advertiser aud not from an adveF-
tising solicitor Mr. Martndales advice should
have some effect when ou- merchants are consid-
ering plans for increasing trade.
Altogether the meeting of the association was
a happy one, and the merchants should have fire.

BLOW TO RACE TRACK GAMBLING.

n OVERNOR CHARLES E. HUGHES, Of
NJ New York. has won a splendid victory in
the passage OF the anti-race track gambling Dill
bv the Legislature of that State. The measure
was enacted by the State Senate yesterday during
an unusually dramatic scene, the vote necessary
TO insure its passage being cast by state SENATOR
sick almost unto death.
The action of the New York Legislature is a
serious blow to race track gambling, winch eVl
is being abolished in other parts of the country.
The race track gamblers have been put to hight
in many States but the victory Of New York is
the most important that has been won by the op-
ponents of this sort of sport
The gamblers have been driven from New Jer-
sew. Ohio, Missouri and many other States
Therefore, they centered their efforts on holding
New York They proposed to make New York
the Mecca of the sport and therefore, their efforts
to retain their grip were most extraordinary.
The result OF the campaign of Governor
Hughes is remarkable in many ways. His fight
in one respect was against a special interest The
race tracks were supported by millionaires, who
were prepared to fight for them with all the
means at their command They had pecuniary
and political influence. They stood in with the
machines and bosses Of both political parties.
The familiar scene was presented in the New
York Legislature of partisan lines being dropped
when the ouesAon of defending special interest
was at stake.
The majority OF the Democrats we're for the
race track gambling and enough Republicans
were with them, seeminSly, to balk the governors
plan But Hughes went at the machines and at
the bosses. lie appealed to the people and won.
AT recent special election. bosses of both parties
opposed a candidate in a New York county who
was pledged to support the Hughes program, but
the Hughes man was chosen.
The governors victory shows that when the
special interests are attacked by a courageous
executive, with the force OF right behind him,
these interests are sure of defeat.
Governor Hughes has certainly gained great
triumph.

A HERO IN FACT
BY Clement storer Foster.

Hon. Otto G. Foelker, New York
State senator from Queens county, Ill
unto death, is to-day the hero OF a bat
tie, perhaps the hardest ever fought in
the halls Of legislation from a moral
viewpoint. No man ever risked his life
with a greater degree of moral cour-
age to snatch a flag from a fighting
enemy when shot and she'll flew thick
and fast
The strunuous, facile and clean gov
ernor of New York has had his hands
upheld by a mighty mana man whose
might was like that Of the great gem
eral who brought peace to the nation
and liberated uncounted numbers while
supporting the policy of a great Presi-
dent.
Governor Hughes has conquered.
though the means came through the
heroic martyrdom of a man who had
courage OF his convictions
The opposition went so far as 70
make an effort to kidnap this man Of
courage, but their plan was frustrated
by the people OF high character who
cared for him and we're his friends.
Never, perhaps. II. tile history of this
country, has there been an issue In
lvolving so much financially and NOR
ally.
The result of Senator Foelker's hero
ism may result In his death; but 1t
was a grand effort and will go ringing
down the ages as an heroic effort un-
paralleled in legislative history.
To-day the wealthy gamblers at the
race track will be unable to back their
favorites, and to-day many people in
positions of trust will be safeguarded
from a temptation well nigh irresist-
able.
All honor TO Senator Foelker-and
some 10 Governor Hughes
