Several of the gentlemen named by the Ga

that they are for Greeley. II the truth were

COMPLETION OF THE WORK -UrTLIzGNG THE CANAL
Az AN ARTERY OF TRADE.
Not quite year has elapsed since the COM
MERcIAL laid before its readers an account of
gigantic undertaking on the other side of the
Delaware, which has been progressing at stated
intervals for more than century-the digging
of canal to drain the marshes which border
Salem Creek far above its mouth, and to afford
an outlet for the trade of this inland section.
This work has been concluded, aud, barring the
distractions OF brdges, is ready for the admis-
sion of boats. The first vessel penetrated this
inland re- m, recently, for a load of truck, tenn
porarily removing the bridges for this purpose
A meeting of the Freeholders of Salem county
was held, last month, and it was then determined
that the distractions should be removed. and
bridges of character that will not impede navi-
CATION be constructed by the Freehoders them
selves In case of their refusal to act the
truckers had threatened to perform the work
themselves.
OTHER NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. THE SALEM
SHOALS.
The u s. Coast Survey, assisted by Capt
Prior, of Salem, has sounded the shoals and
buoyed the rocks at the mouth of Salem creek,
so that a perfect profile of the bottom of the
river has been obtained. A similar profile OF
1912 is in existence, and by a comparison of the
two there has been no perceptible change in the
depth of the water during he past thirty years
An appropriation of 10000 has already been
| made to assist in this work, but it is not suf
fcient and an additional appropriation will be
asked for.

coNcEnNIYa FRAUDS.

There is good deal of talk among the DEM
ocrats about Republican frauds and miscounts
but the very fact that the election has been the
quetest over known, and that the Democrats
lad the count in nearly one-half the counties
that show the largest Republican gains, is suii-
cient refutation OF their charges A gentleman
from Iredell county, Democrat, but an anti
Greeley man, reported to-day that he could ac-
count for a clear loss to the Republican vote of
that county of nearly two hundred votes through
challenging and keeping colored voters from the
polls ON various preteXts, none of them, how
ever, within the reach of the law.

Whether William Forester, so-caIIed. be
guilty Of the murder Of Benjamin Nathan
or not, the opening scene in his trial was
most extraordinary, striking and dramatic
That a young woman who casually saw the
supposed murderer at the gate Of tie Nathan
house should, after lapse of two years, be
able to identify the accused, is remarkable
enough. But Miss Keenan, did most clearly
and intelligently fix upon Forester as that
man. Here is an important thread in the
tangled skein Of evidence at once Let us
see if it will lead to any conclusive fixing of
