ROOSEVELT AND THE KAISER.

II INDICATIONS arc plain that Colonel Roose-
welt on his return will not be willing TO
make the triumphal march across the country
IRON San Francisco TO the East as some of his
admirers propose.
The Kaiser of Germany, had been hoping that
the Colonel would permit himself to be enter
tanned with all the honors due royalty when the
American stops IN Berlin on his way home. An
elaborate program of functions was in mind 70
keep the ex-President busy from the moment
he reached Berlin until his hour of departure.
There were 10 be breakfasts, luncheons. sun
pers, gala performances at the royal theatres and
all that but the ex-President has decided that
he will not be received as a state visitor. The
former President is announced TO arrive AZ Rer-
In on April 2S and he will remain for three
days
All OF which raises the suspicion that the ex-
PRESIDENT may not make tour of this country
on his return. But he will be given a great re-
ception in New York when he gets back and
we shall have plenty of Roosevelt for while,
at least. He is likely to overshadoYv things at
Washington, to upset Wall Street, and in gen
eral to start the political prophets guessing. And
that may not be the end Of it.

COUNTY WoRKHousE.

FORMER JUDGE J. FRANK BALL, a trus-
Il tee Of the New Castle County Worlhouse.
and one who has taken deep interest in its well
fare, had interesting statement in the Star
last Sunday which should claim the attention Of
those brethren in Kent and Sussex counties who
have been disposed to grumble about the New
Castle Workhouse and TO think that this county
IS charging excessive rates for the care Of pris-
oners
These grumblers in the lower counties have
been suggesting that Kent and Sussex should
build a workhouse of their own but VIC think
they should hesitate before taking that step. We
have suspected that behind this agitation which
breaks out now and then in the lower counties is
the desire of politicians to have a few more Of
noes to distribute among the faithful. With
wor<house for Kent and Sussex there would be
some places 10 dispose of. Getting an Office of
some kind is the climax of the ambition on most
OF those who stir in the political waters of Kent
and Sussex How much better il would be If
the money that those who favor a lower county
Notwithstanding that seems unnecessary
would spend for il, should bc~dcvoted to inn
proving the public roads.
Judge Ball. however, clearly points out that
the New Castle County Workhousc is an advan-
tage TO the lower counties. lie SAYS that the
trustees hope within seven years TO iquidate the
entire bonded Indebtedness of the workhouse
At The end of that time the institution ne be-
lieves will be selfsupporting. Under the law
the amount paid for the keep of prisoners is
the same for all three counties
When the prison becomes self-supporting
Kent and Sussex will have advantage of free
care of prisoners as well as New Castle II It
IS said that Kent and Sussex are helping to pay
oft the Indebtedness well and good-they will
share in the benefits and they are relieved of
the risks and responsibilities of the management
and any financial obligations which New Castle
county has assumed for the institution Should
the lower counties in a few years decide to build
a workhouse of their own. they would lose the
benefits that will come to them from having con-
iriouted towards paying off the Indebtedness Of
the Greenbanl institution.
Altogether we do not see that either Kent or
Sussex has any just cause for complaint. Ger
,ainly the ordinary taxpayers of those counties
have no reason to find fault
he question of making the workhouse a State
institution may be discussed and we think Judge
Balls fears that if the governor should have the
appointing OF the trustees politics would be the
only consideration, too great But at any
iate me present plan seems by far the most sat
istactory There is no valid reason why it should
be changed

coDIFYING STATE LAWS.

xA7 HEN the expense in other states Of codi-
w flying laws is considered, how fortunate
Delaware is to have three men like former Chief
Justice Lore, Walter II. Hayes and Herbert Fl.
Ward engaged in codifying our own laws at
comparatively small expense.
The great amount Of labor involved in this
undertaking can be appreciated only by those
who have seen evidences of the painstaking work
being performed by the commissioners. The
expense TO the state it seems at the outside can
not amount to more than $1,000 if that much.
Compare this expense with that New Jer
sey has had TO bear for similar work. A Tren-
ton newspaper declares that New Jersey has
spent more than $4,000 for revising its laws
during the last eighteen years and is likely to
spend at least $4,000 more before the new edi-
ton of the revised statutes is issued.
1t is costing New Jersey, therefore, on an aver
age, about 5000 annually to codify the laws
and the expense has become so great that there
is talk of establishing permanent commission
to do this work. Our sister state is spending
yearly a sum but a little less than that we have
spent in about seventeen years.
But even with the huge expense entailed on
New Jersey the work does not seem TO be pro-
crossing satisfactorily. They do not seem to be
able to complete the job and the Trenton news
paper declares that the neglect of duty ON the
part OF those who are concerned in revising the
laws has been "scandalous" A legislative COM
mittee of investigation is suggested
Other states have spent enormous sums for
revising their laws In view of all these things
Delaware as we have said, seems to have been
specially fortunate. Our commissioners will
promptly finish their labors, and we believe they
VIII see that after the re-arranged laws leave
their hands there will be no unnecessary DELAY in
their publication.

the predicament of that paper For some time
past the Star has been bowling at the other two
papers of the city well as at u.s. but even its
very acute cars have failed to detect re-
sponse from the others-there is nothing doing"
The Star has been threatening, coaSing and ca
joing with all the arts of journalistic and mill
tary coquet but we arc inclined to think that
something has happened which has
caused them to consign the Star TO the journalistic
limbo AT any rate we live in hopes that rela-

The Voice Beautiful.

New York sun.
In a Washington newspaper the other
day appeared such a tribute to tho vocal
beauty and facility Of tho Hon. John Bar
rett, the resonance and felicity OF. his or
gan, and generally tho resources of a
compelling oratory, that we are moved
to take some notice Of it.
The occasion was an address before
the Washington Geographic Society on
Central America. a subject which Mr.
Barrett has made his own and IN con-
nection with which he plays upon a harp
with myriad strings. OF course the address
literally bristled with useful Information.
Fact, fancy. humor, romance and poetry
played like summer lightning about the
chevaux de frise OF solid knowledge with
which he hanked and buttressed his as
sault. We know all that We have often
drowned in the great floods of John Bar
retts sapience, and as often been re-
stored.
What impressed us i'm the article re-
ferred to was the passionate apostrophe
to the Hon. John Barrctt's voice. its musi-
cal cadences and infections. its penetrat-
ing power, it's roaring majesty, and the
mellihuous. almost whispering melodies
that carried Central America, with its
bananas, its alligators and its revolutions,
straight 70 every listening heart. There
was "the lovely phrasing." to say nothing
of the "felicitous expression" that drove
the plantalns home and anchored oranges
and lemons on all feeling breasts. A

"chagrined' over the fight that has developed in
one of the Legislative districts between Repre-

Levy Court A battle royal is promised in the
district which is a close one on election day. Mr.
Soper was not popular with his fellow Demo-

because of his conduct during the speakership

considerable following among the grangers of

NEW NEWS OF YESTERDAY
Only Time That Jay Gould
Got Boiling Mad
BY "HoIh nd"
BY "HOlkud."

Great as was his financial con-
quests, probably the greatest of all of
Jay GOuld's victories was that which
he gained over his temper" said an
old friend of the family to me at the
time of the little wizards death in
1892. "ln its natural state his was a
most unruly temper. Unmastered, it
would undoubtedly have led him into
all sort Of embarrassing situations
and, to my mind, seriously imperilled
the success of his aims in life But
more than once I have heard Russell
Sage say-and he certainly knew
that Mr.. Gould was the most even
tempered man with whom he had ever
been brought into business associa-
ton
Indeed, so complete was Mr.. Gould's
mastery over his temper that can re-
call only one time when it ever got
the better of him. Then, curiously
enough, Mr. Gould got boiling mad in
behalf Of good friend and business
associate, and had not some of his
closest friends been able finally to re
strain him, there is no telling to what
lengths he would have let his fury
carry him.
"One day there came to Mr.. Gould's
ears a report that to this, his friend
and business associate, a second friend
and business associate was acting so
disloyally that there was grave dan
ger of an unfortunate domestic dis
turbance. Conduct of this sort was
the one thing that Mr.. Gould could
not forget or forgive, and instantly
the bounds that he had kept for so
many years on his temper burst and
his rage became truly terrifying.
His one thought then, was to
drive the alleged disloyal friend out
OF reputable business and social asso-
Citations. To this end. and while his
fury was at its height, he had pre-
pared a bitter. vitriolic article which
purported to a narrative of various
private episodes in this mans life.
This article, he exultantly told sew
eral OF his friends when the COM
pleted manuscript was handed to him,

next day I'm the New York newspaper
that he then owned TIL take the full
for its publication, he
declared, and added that he would be
only too glad TO do so, for he felt sure
that the publication of the article
would drive the man into obscurity, a
which would be little
enough recompense to the friend who
was in danger Of being injured.
We'll, it was only after very long
and very earnest efforts on the part |
OF Mr.. Gould's confldantes that they
we're at all able to swerve him in the |
slightest from the plan of action that !
ne had mapped out in the heat Of his |
anger But finally Mr.. Gould was re.
luctanuy dissuaded from making the |
printed attack by the statement of
one OF his friends that. while the ar
ticle would probably drive the man
into obscurity, as Mr.. Gould hoped Il
would, II also would probably cause
the public to feel great resentment in
the end against the bringer of such
unwelcome news. in which animus
would unquestionably be discerned.
That was something which Mr.
Gould had not taken into account
