The Times.

The balance OF trade is heavily in fa-
vor of our country, yet it is questiona-
bic whether the great mass of our peo-
pie are not drifting towards bankrupt
cy. Few farmers, manufacturers or
mechanics are making anything above
expenses, and many are unable to meet
their engagements. In fact business is
generally being done at too small a
profit, and many must become bank
rupt unless there is an advance in
prices at ali early day. Our shipments
of grain to Europe are large, but the
prices are ruinously low, and, although
the country may be said to be growing
richer, it is questionable whether the
people generally are not becoming
poorer.
The low prices prevailing should
teach our Legislators that there are
more important considerations than the
character of the money which shall be
used in the payment of debts. New
enterprises should be encouraged, new
avenues of trade should be opened,
new lines of steamships should be es-
tablished and needed improvements OF
rivers and harbers should be made as
speedily as possible. We should imi-
tate the French in this particular. as
they are spending millions Of dollars in
order to employ the people, and not
withstanding their great debt and
heavy taxes, they have prospered.
While we have been retrenching and
economizing they have been developing
their resources and paying off their
debt, by increased production and not
by pinching and starving. They un-
derstand the secret of giving and yet
increasing, as well as the niggardliness
of Withholding more than is meet that
tendeth to poverty. Oh, for some states
manship to awaken our sleeping indus
tries, and once more start our country
forward in the path of prosperity nd
greatness. Thousands of miles of rail
roads are yet to be built: millions Of
acres of land are yet to be cultivated,
and there is work on every hand that
ought to be done, and capital and pner-
gy are only needed to make all pros
porous.

We ARE GLAD to hear that Coroner
Butz has established his head quarters
at the undertaking establishment of
J. A. Wilson, 81 Shipley street. This
itself is an evidence that the new Coro-
ner intends to inaugurate reform
movement, which shall elevate his Of
fee to that dignited position it should
occupy. The REPUBLICAN found it to
be to the interest of reform to criticise
and strongly condemn the manner in
which the late Coroner administered his
Office, but we hope We shall find it to
be equally in the interest Of reform to
commend and support Coroner Butz.

A Bothered Democracy,

There are some Democratic papers
that are yet indulging in building air
castles for the next Presidency, not
withstanding the terribly crushing de-
feat they have just received. A candi-
date is the most needed thing now to
bear them on to victory, and could they
but see it, the candidate is Just the
thing that will bear them on to sure
defeat. 1t is generally admitted that
Tilden's chances have been fatally
damaged by the southern cipher tele
grams, and it would be direct political
suicide to take him as the standard
bearer in 1880. Mcclellan stood we'll
year after his election az Governor
of New Jersey, but the recent election
in that State has dimmed his chances
for Presidential nomination. Thur.
man has gone down beneath the Repub
lican tidal wave that swept over Ohio
and swept away with it his air castle
visions of being Hayes successor in the
White House. Indiana of all the north
ern States alone has stood by her chief

[For the REPUBLICAN,


| EDIToRs REPuRLICAN:-I read in the
REPUBLICAN few days ago an article
stating that Mayor Almond had pres
ented very lengthy document to
Council setting forth the fact Of tn.
need of more policemen in the city, &c.
Now We don't propose to argue the
point in question with our worthy
Mayor, because We believe with him
that more policemen are actually need
ed for the better protection OF the city
and its people, the citizens want to feel
secure and to know that their property Y
is guarded by those whose duty it is ia
watch. "Ah!' but here comes the real
trouble, here is the big secret that May.
or Almond would do we'll to probe be
fore asking for an increase of policemen
what do they watch" that is the ques-
ton.
What were they watching when
Rawnsey's "Segar shop was robbed, and
Mrs. Willis's place on Front street, and
Mrs. Woods just next door, and Mr..
Films place, and Mrs. Moulton also,
and the good Lord only knows how
many more places were robbed. The Po-
lice don't care. Can the citizens Of Will
mington feel secure witC such force of
officers as this that allows place aft I
place to be broken open and robbed o.
their contents Why sir, you can coun,
on the fingers of one hand, the officers
who would honestly confess that he
ever felt that the lives and property Of
the sleeping people at midnight was
a responsibility rest ng upon tLem and
that their duty to said people was to dis.
charge it faithfully by watching.' NJ
Sir of the too, the citizen or the officer
think at the hour spoken of the
officer would be snoring the loudest.
Now would not condemn the whole
torce, because there are good men among
the many employed, but what the peo
pie want, is, that all the officers, every
one of them shall begood efficient men .
Some of them have bean tried for years,
and think our new Mayor already
sees thatthereare some who don't possess
the qualifications of good officers and
ought to be replaced by better men.
'Tis very beautiful to read Of such
pictures as this chow the old officer
tracked his game from street to street,
up dark alleys, out into the highways
and how like sleuth hound the officer
follows the trail by day and night, nev.
er tiring," forging into chain of ev.
idence, incident and clue alike until
the murderer or burglar is confronted
by the officers pistol Gagged at last. All
this is very nice to read about but such
officers don't grow in Wilmington, a
least are not on the present police force
A Democrat remarked to us a few days
ago that the police force was good
standing committee to the Democrat
party in Wilmington, and that is true
a man is selected for the force not
because of fitness, it is never
inquired as to honesty, sobriety intel
ligence or whether he is an industriou!
man, but the first last and only ques
tion asked is he good Democrat, ant
that question propounded by the Demo
cracy of Delaware means substantial,
this, is he willing to use all means hon
orable or disbonorable; in fact, any anc
all means to cheat Republicans out o
their votes. Now, We are willing fo
ali increase offorce but for goodness'sak
give Us better men. Yours, &C.,

THE GREENBAcK LABOR party are
claiming that their vote in SO States
holding elections this year has reached
a total of 1900. This claim is large
ly based on conjectural estimates. New
York is credited with 81, 900 Greenback
votes, and Pennsylvania $4,000. The
imposing total of the third party vote
for the year is eomplacently compared
with the 1877, 600 votes cast in 1877 and
the 1900 cast in 1876. 1t really does
begin to look 0s the Greenhack Labor
party was going to swallow up the
Democratic party. The latter is com
pletely disorganized, and the name so
far from being any longer tower Of
strength, is every year becoming more
offensive to the mass of loyal and pa
triotic voters.

Mr.. EvARTs has determined that the
Halifax award shall be paid promptly
upon the day that it is due, without
further controversy. This may not
please some of the politicians who roar
against the British lion for the purpose
of winning Irish votes, but it will have
the hearty approval Of the great mass of
the people. That the award is an out
rage upon justice is hardly doubtful ;
but We are required by every considera-
ton Of honor to abide by the decision
of the court to which we agreed to re-
fer the case. This nation cannot afford
to do an unfair thing and especially
it cannot afford to repudiate a system
of arbitration by which it las obtained
something like justice at the hands of
England. If the Halifax Commission
had awarded far smaller sum than
we ought to pay, we imagine that the
American people would have considered
the verdict binding, whether it pleased
Canada or not.
