NEW YORK, Feb. 24-There is a
non-militant rebellion in the work.
house on Blackwelrs Island Thirty
seven of the best behaved prisoners are
the insurgents. They are not saw
ing bars, attacking guards or grumb-
ling against the constituted authorities.
It's their wives they are threatening.
The thirty-seven are varieties Of the
prisoner incarcerated for non-support.
Their wives have failed to relent and
pay their bail bonds
OF course the inference is too cruelty
plain. II would seem that the 81 wives
prefer 70 worry along in loneliness
rRther than support their husbands
But the imprisoned sufferers have
chosen to give their freer halves a last
chance to show the affection and for
giveness that even a non-supporting
husband expects from a wife.
They have drawn up a letter en-
bodying a plea for mercy and a threat.
And this is the ultimatum: II their
wives do not get them out of the work
house before the Passover holidays
they will not return to their happy
homes at all
Saws the letter: I'VE are 81 in a
bunch. and are put together with
tramps and criminals and drunks. The
only reason is that we are poor and
cannot support our wives. The beds
are crooked, and it is leather we have
TO eat instead Of meat.
"All this makes us lose faith in life.
And for why? All because the husband
does not give the woman what she
wants. She goes TO court and gets a
warrant and We are sent to the is
land.

WRITES ABOUT THE
PASSING OF CANNON

Editor THE EVENING JOURNAL.
The thousands of Republicans in this
State who believe that the grand old
party that freed the slave should not
now be- used to enslave the freeman,
win receive fresh courage from your
manly stand against Cannonism, and
all that it represents, as indicated by
your editorial. 1.-THE Passing OF Can
non." in a recent issue.
But, Mr.. Editor. when Cannon is
dumped from the elephants back the
work is only partly done. There is
but one way to remove an evil. and
that is to remove it's cause. The cause
that makes Cannonism possible to-day
is the support he has received from
the elected representatives Of the peo-
pie. You state in your editorial that
Congressman Heald supported Cannon
and his crowd in order TO be Of service
20 Delaware. Has il come to such a
pass that the representative of the
200.0 900 freemen who inhabit Delaware,
the first State to ratify the Constitu-
tion of the United States. must cringe
and crawl before the throne Of tho
gilded tin Car of the House in order
to obtain Delaware's constitutional
rights? or does the fault lie in the
constitutional makeup of the repre-
sentative of Delaware? Bahi away
with the flinsy arguments that would
change Cannonism's name but not the
substance. Would the carcass smell
any sweeter if called by a different
name? FOR wheresoever the carcas
is, there will the eagles be gathered
together" As the proof of the pud-
ding is in the eating-as the only way
10 Judge the future is by the past
what guarantee have we that the men
who have supported the system called
Cannonism, il reelected viii not sup
port the same system under another
name.
But. Of what service has Congress
man Heald been to Delaware, after he
did bow down to the Baal Of Cannon
ism? Where was he when the Della
ware Ship Canal project was side
tracked in the House on Tuesday. de-
spite the valiant fight made for it by
| Congressman Moore Of Pennsylvania
Was his voice raised in support of Con-
gressman Moore and the subject under
consideration? II not. why not?
It is no use, Mr. Editor. to try to
! establish a fictitious reputation for the
| Delaware delegation in Washington
That they are charming men person
ally, Of unhlemished reputation, no one
/ disputes; but the man who accuses any
one of them of being statesman Is
welcome to mis- opinion. If common
report be true. the spoils of Office arC
contaminated by nepotism, and the day
of spondulix in Delaware politics j:
| over.
No. we need new deal in Delaware
Republican politics. We have men il
the Republican party of this state wh'
/ possess the necessary ability and elo
\ quence TO put Delaware back into thu
l proud position which she formerly oc
\ cupied in the affairs of the nation. /
/ the leaders Of the Republican part,
cannot or will not put these men for
ward for public Office. then it is tim
for the rank and file to choose new
leaders. -.

And when you say that by putting the recall in yeur constitution you make it pos sible that you win hold cub over your judiciary I shall simply refer you to the next provision and that is impeachment of officers. I do not notice that the judiciary is exempted from that; in this article and in that of every other state constitution s a provision that all officers not liable to impe achment shall be subject to removal for misconduct or malfeas- ance in office in such manner, as may be provided by the constitution, Now the first time a person was tried in this manner any man wheth- CT holding a legislative judicial or executive office they might say it was a strong club and he could not do his duty properly under such but it has always been in the constitutions of the states.

 This is taken word for word from the constitution of the state of Wash ington and We compared that wltn the constitutions of perhaps a dozen, lerhaps fifteen other states. Now, ] an impeachment could prevent any man from doing his duty the recall would keep a man from do44

partment The judiciary Is provided for by the sesection of three supreme
 court judges and superior courts in ! seyelai counties of the state, and
 the probate court is abolished. It is
 abolished because the superior court
 judge is considered to have sun ci-
 ent time to attend to all the business
 both of the probate and the district
 court. and tAs clerk of the sup
 court will necessarily be a man who
 will do all the clerical work and all
 in all it saves the new state practi-
 caily fifty per cent of the cost
 alone for judges and clerks. This was
 considered a very safe arrangement
 and it follows the Calisornia-W Washing
 ton plan. It is in fact copied almost
 verbatim from the Washington con
 stitution. because that embodies q
 very clear statement of the plan.
 The state of Washington copied the system of California in general out line and our constitution follows that of California and Washington as to
 the judiciary or courts. Then tho the next provisions is the article which refers to removal from Of
 flee. Why this seems to give some
 people so much trouble l know not
 The article provides that every e.ee- tive officer shall be subject to recall by the citizens of the state. It bases the recall petition upoa twenty five per cent of the electors or a number equal to twenty five per cent of the votes cast for all candidates for office held by the persons about to be recalled and requires an election to be held after this petition has been filed. The petition must bo signed by 25 per cent of the voters but that only puts in operation the Jaw calling the election and the re- call is not effective against the Of ficer, he goes on and attends to his business meantime until the election has decided whether he shah be recalled or not and the election re. quires a majority of the voters ,vot- ing at that election as necessary. te recall an officer. The petition requir- ing tine names cf twenty five per cent of the voterss means practically that that number of the voters who cast their ballots at the last general c ec- ton for that officer are desirous that he submit to the test Of recall and you can see how we would safe guard this. If an officer is so dere- lict in his duties as to interfere with his work or Is so immoral that he is a man who would not be trusted in his community or is so regard ess of his duties why it taxes 25 per cent to recall him and if that number is willing to recall man they have elected and are willing to sign a peti- ton for recall of any public officer t seems to me that he ought to be releived from the duties of his ofioe.
