If Delaware does not take that
internal revenueship away from
MARYLAND it will not be because
Delaware has not tried hard enough.
There is no valid reason why this
appointment should not come to
Delaware for Maryland has had the
place for wears. The Eastern Shore
has received more than its just
consideration. Turn about is fair
play, but MARYLAND evidently does
not believe in that. Delaware
wants only her share and she does
not get It.
What claim Maryland has on the
Office this time is hard to imagine.
Certainly the appointment can be
of no political advantage to Mary
land, for the Republican party in
MARYLAND has steadily lost ground.

gained control of the eastern shore.
Delaware has a candidate for In

anyone would dispute the fact that
/ DR.. Marshall in the positions that
II he has filled, has had a splendid
record and the Delaware men at

every kind of effort to have him ap-
pointed to the place.
Delaware has most certainly
strong claims upon the President

Many Want Census Jobs.

Three hundred applicants for the
position of census enumeratOrs IN
Delaware took the required govern
ment test in FIVE places within the
State on Saturday. All the eN-
Aminations were concluded on that
afternoon and the papers forwarded
to Washington by DR.. L. H Ball,
State supervisor. 1t is expected
that the one hundred and thirty
enumerators to beappointed will be
announced in about ten DAYS.
Examinations were conducted
at Wilmington. Smyrna, Dover,
Harrington, Georgetown, and Sea
ford. Many women were among
those examined.
Although it will require but two
weeks to take the census, the enum-

have five subdivisions each.

Indebtedness. The county IS la
Bile. moreover, should the Trustees
of the Workhouse default in either
the payment Of interest or princi-
pal. The lower counties have no
obligation of any kind resting on
them in this regard, although they
are on the same footing as regards
the benefits to he derived, as New
Castle county.
The prisoners brought to the
Workouse from lower Delaware
are those sentenced to terms of SIX
months or over. New Castle coun-
tv does not now enjoy, nor can 1t
enjoy in the future, under the eX-
isting law, any advantage that will
not accrue to Kent and Sussex.
This explanation will probably
be accepted by the Levy Courts OF
Kent and Sussex counties as being
satisfactory. With the WOrkhouse
on a self supporting basis the millen
ium will have arrived on the ques-
ton of maintai ming a prison.
When it was suggested to eX-
Judge Ball that it might be advis-
able to convert the New Castle
county Workhouse into a State
penitentiary, he opposed such a
plan. His reason was that under
such a scheme politics would be an
element in the operation of the in
stitution. "The Trustees are now
appointed by the Judges, he said
" irrespective of their political
faith. Should the legislature make
the workhouse a State prison it Is
reasonable to suppose that a bill to
this end would not be passed un-
less the appointing power should
be placed in the hands of the Gov
ernor. The result would be appar-
ent."

KENT AND SUSSEX FAVORED.

The Trustees Of the New Castle
County Workhouse do not take
kindly to criticism recently made in
Kent and Sussex counties regard
ing the cost Of keeping prisoners
from those counties at the Work
house. Ex-Judge J. Frank Ball,
secretary of the Board of Trustees,
stated Saturday to The Star that
the amount paid by the Levy Court
of the two lower counties for the
maintenance of their prisoners IS
the same as paid by the Levy Court
Of New Castle cOunty-torty cents
per diem per capita.
Ex-Judge Ball explained the sit
nation at length. He further de
clared that it is the expectation OF
the Trustees that the present bond
ed indebtedness, $4,000 will be
entirely liquidated in about seven
wears. Then, he continued, the
institution will be self supporting
and prisoners from all three cOun-
ties will be incarcerated free of all
cost to taxpayers. In ampliiica-
ton of this anticipation, the secre-
tarv referred to the fact that since
Iulv 10, 1906, bonds have been
paid off to the amount of sos, 600,
the original issue for the construc-
tiou of the Workhouse having been
S275,ooO.
The ex-Judge said: "The law
providing for the commitment by
the court of certain classes Of pris-
ouers from Kent and Sussex coun-
ties to the New Castle County
Workhouse stipulates that the
amount to be paid by those coun-
ties for the keep of prisoners shall
be same as is paid by the Levy
Court of New Castle county. The
law further provides that the two
lower counties shall enjoy all of the
advantages that may accrue to
New Castle county in the price OF
keeping inmates. Whatever ad-
vantage New Castle comfy may
gain. therefore, by paying off the
bonded indebtness will also inure to
the benefit Of Kent and Sussex. In
other words, the two lower counties
will have all the advantages and
none Of the disadvantages that may
develOpe.

No Bodies Yet Yielded Up by Hull Of

Havana, Sept. 2S.-There is no
foundation for the report that divers
have discovered bodies in the cabins
and between the decks Of the Maine,
No internal examination of the wreck
could possibly have been made, and
preliminary Investigations are neces-
sarily confined to the position OF the
hull and the character Of the bottom.
BOrings show that bed rock of the
channel is about 100 feet below the
surface of the water and the Maine
rests on mud fifty feet above this. The
nature of the mud bottom will soon be
determined by employment of the COT
