bsen no Greenback candidate Mr.. Robe.
son would have had the largest Repub
lican majority ever cast in the District.
A DKsrArcu HAa been going the
rounds Fom the Associated Press, ia
ting sonaswhat exultingly, that Col.
Edward D.. Martin had about 1000 ma
jorityin Delaware. This 10 true, bis
majority we believe. being 1884, but
it must be remembered that he at the
same time received smaller number
Of votes than any other successful can
didate received in the State during the
last twenty years. 1t should be re-
membercd that only 3,042 votes were
cast for his opponent, and 1888 Of
those were cast in Sussex county. Now,
il those 3, 042 persons who voted for Mr..
Jackson, had staid away from the polls,
like the 1900 who did stay away, Mr..
Martins majority would have just been
1856, which equals the whole mum
Der of votes that he got, and the small
lest number that ever elected any DEM
ocratic candidate in Delaware within
twenty wears. This takes considera-
BILE of the starch out Of the glorious ma
ority he received.

Great ShrinkAge.

According to the figures of the Board
Of Revision the real estate in Ph,ladel-
phia has fallen off in value the past
year over $50, 900, 900. The cause OF
such shrinkage is very interesting
problem for the study Of the owners
who have bonds or mortgages to meet.
The policy that has been pursued for
the past five years has tended to i'm
poverish the producing classes, while
the bondhoder and money lender alone
profted By it. No wonder that the
Sheriff has been busy, and We vii. be
greatly surprised if that officer in every
county in the United States will not
find plenty to do for another wear or
two. The more energetic and indus
trious class may work through their
financial difficulties, but the more
shiftless will fail, and the money lend
er Or mortgage holder will be a.tit by
the operation.

The LAST census gave Charleston, s.
G., population of 1885. At the re
cent election, under Democratic man
agement, 70, 1886 votes were cast, and
5l55 Democratic majority obtained.
Shotgun politics followed up by tissue
ballots did the business. We really
cannot see why the Democrats didn't
put enough votes in to make q vote
each for every inhabitant, man, woman
and child in the city. 1t will be no.
ticed that only about half the popula-
tion voted which is very bad showing
for Charleston when it could have done
better.

A REAL CASE of a poor innocent Dem
ocrat having been bull.dozed, has Just
come to light at Wilson, North Caro-
lima. 1t Seems that John Simms was
a Repu blican and had always voted
his party ticket, aud on the morning
of the election he faithfully promised
his wife that he would vote for O'Hara,
for Congress. Before reaching the polls
however he fell into the hands of the
Bourbon Democracy who freely piled
him with whiskey until he voted for
Harris, the Democratic nominee. He
was so ashamed of his action when he
got sober that he took to the woods uns
til h- was starved into going home
Here he was met by his wife with a
hickory stick, who gave her liege lor /
a tremendous beating for daring to vote
the Democratic ticket. No clearer case
Of bull doing has come to notice, and
be it said to the credit of the Democrats
they have had the woman promptly
arrested and punished. Strange the
+. +. and Gazette haze not noticed
this horrible case of bull doing.

The PHILADELPHIA NORTH American
says: 1t would be well for those who
rejoice over the increase of our foreign
trade and its accompanying domestic
service to reflect that the bill intro
duc-d by Fernando Wood, defeated,
and now threatened again, could take
five times as much from our manufac.
lures and labor as it could add to our
commerce, and that the gain given to
commerce by direct application, would
be subtracted by injury to the sub.
stance of commerce, while the tinan ces
Of the whole country would suffer.
This is a consideration that should be
urged upon the rational men now cleo
ted by those having influence with
them. We need that there shall be
no tinkering with business.

The new Police Force.

1t is said that Mayor Almond has
over one hundred applications for the
police appointments, and that nearly
if not quite all the old force are amongs
the applicants. To what extent the
new Mayor will make n change ".
have no knowledge but reports say tha,
there will be Jan entire new d-a
from Chief down to roundsman. 1t is
not for us to dictate to Mayor Almond
the kind Of policemen he should ap,
point, but We hope he will not be of.
Tended II We suggest that there are
some of the old force who are really
good officers and deserve reappOintment
but for fear malicious and designing
persons may get up false reports about
them before the time Of appointment t
We will not be so personal as to name
them. There are others who were nev
er tit for the position they filed, bu,
neither will We be so personal as to
name them. They are, however. very
easily distinguished by the frequency
tn ~ are seen coming ont Of
unlincensed grogshops, and other dis
reputable places where police should
never be seen unless in cases wl4rr
disturbances occur, and their duty
would have been to have returned
them to court as viOlators of the law in
stead of enjOining them to keep the
peace and atiording them police protnc-
ton 1t is shameful commentary on the
morals of policemen to know that the
most Of them are most horribly profane
9th in and out of the police office, on
uty and off of duty, and no crowd of
roughs could be found that could beat
them in blaspheny. To such a low
ebb has the morals of some OF the po.
lice force descended that Mayor All
mond's predecessor actually appointed
man on the special force last summer,
who it is said was the keeper of an un
licensed saloon, and that he is engaged
in the same business still, though h.
is not on the force now. No wonder
that there has been so much disor-
der, and law breaking, and thai
Mayor Almond has been compelled to
apply for au increase of the force. As
it is not likely that the City Council
under the present financial pressure
will accede to the request of the Mayor,
however much an increase of the cree
may be desirable, it will remain for
him to do the best he can with thu
small force he has. The efficiency Of
the public can be advanced fifty per
cent. by appointing men of good moral
who will give tone to the
force that may make it respected
throughout the City as well as feared.
Such force can easily re found st th..
present time when so many good men
are out of employment. As we said
before there are some of that kind in
the old force, who under differen, man
agement would be still more efficient
and when the appointments are made
we hope their claims may not be over
looked. Though We with hold names,
we know that when this article is read
there will be general inquiry not only
the police but amongst the
people generally as to whom may be
classed under the respective heads of
fits' and "unfits." We place them
nowhere. By their own actions they
have chosen their positions and by that
choice they will be Judged.

A CORRESPONDENT of our neigh Dor, the
Sunbeam, published at Salem in the Con-

has rather one-sided way of rstimat-
ing the popularity Of the Hon. George
H. Roheson, Congressman elect from

district at $40 for Robson, Rep,
6,397 for Stratton, Dem, and $3.50,

the Democratic and Greenback candi
