NO CHANGE IN PRISON SYSTEM.

a NY suggestion to abandon the present sys-
( \ tenn bv which the convicts Of Kent and
Sussex counties arc confined in the workhouse at
Creenbank. we think, should not be taken seri-
ouslv There have been some hints that a
change to the old system is desired, and some
I.ersons have expressed the opinion that the
Honvicts should be confined in the ails at Do
ver and Georgetown. We do not fancy that
many OF the substantial taNpayers os the lower
counties wish 10 return 10 the old plan Ger
tainlv those who believe in moving forward and
not backward will not favor change from the
present method.
Now and then, some persons in the lower
counties crack at the State HOSPITAL at Farm
hurst and at the workhouse at Greenbank- We
have never known a valid reason for these at
tacks The criticisms are it seems TO us in
spired bv persons who arc mixed UP in the po-
litical affairs OF the lower counties and not by
any considerable number OF substantial citizens.
From the criticisms. we Judge that the dissat-
isfed ones-and we believe they are but few in
number-seem to think that the people Of New
Castle county derive some large benefit from
the fact that the institutions are located in this
county: but such advantage, If there is any, IS
SO small as not to be worth considering.
Perhaps the chief basis OF the criticisms is
presumption that if the insane of the State were
turned over TO the mercies of amshouse keepers,
as they were before we had the hospital at
Farnhurst Jobs would be provided for paltry
number of place hunters in the lower counties
and the political machines would be benehtted
thereby The argument that it would be cheaper
to confine the insane to the care of the counties
is not a plausible one, because il motives Of
economy were the chief reason. the critics might
overhaul the affairs of Kent and Sussex and find
MANY holes into which money is dropped that
could be plugged up.
Consideration of any change as to Farnhurst
is. OF course out of the question. The only thing
that the critics can do in that matter is to impair
the usefulness of the institution by curtailing
the appropriation.
A change with regard to the worbhouse pris-
oners is possible. but not probable. Confning
the convicts of Kent and Sussex to the leakv
jals at Dover and Georgetown would of course
permit the sheriffs of those counties "to make
something out Of the feed of the prisoners, and
perhaps few men might be employed to care
for the prisoners thereby handing out some po-
ltical Jobs But do the substantial citizens Of
those counties want to return 70 the old method
merely to enable these picayune positions to be
given to some place hunters? We hope not.
The Georgetown Jail is entirely unfit for pris-
Ianers In times past the prisoners stayed there
' idleness, if they wished, and If they became
~ they left the prison and went where
ar-sleased. Kent county was somewhat bet
