The Philadelphia Times of Sunday
saws: SIT is not creditable to the Re-
publicans of Delaware County that the
veteran editor of the Delaware County
Republican was not again nominated for
the Legislature. This is not the time
for the party to turn from the battle
Scared warrior Of Republicanism to
take younger and not better soldier.
Mr.. Walter was one OF the men who
battled for the Republican party since
its birth, and he has rendered service
TO il that should commsnd all the
honors it could bestow in return. lie
was q most upright and faithful lesisls-
tor and in no mans hands could the In
terests Of tho county have been more
safely entrusted. True, he is not q
politician Of tho modern sort, who runs
the machine for his own promotion;
but it Is always prudent for the ms
chine to have few such men on II
these days As ballast. Delaware ooun'
lty has been croditably represented In
the Senate AID House during the last
four years by Editors Cooper and Wal
tor, and there will be general regre'
Throughout the State that Mr.. Waiter

THE EXTRAORDINARY risks OF the grain
carrying trade are fo-cibly shown by the
authoritative statement that during the
year ending July l, 1880, no less than
fhirty-two grain laden vessels have
been lost with their cargoes while
crossing the Atlantic. Twenty of these
vessels were abandoned at sea, and
the men escaped, vessels and carg oes
being lost. The remaining twelve YES
sells were never heard from and nearly
three hundred men were upon these
missing vessels. About a million anc
q half bushels Of grain were lost Will
these thirty-two vessels. Seventeen o
them sailed from New York, six iron
Philadelphia, five from Baltimore, tW'
from New Orleans and one each from
Boston and Portland. The risks o
commerce and Of enterprise general.
are always large but this seems like al
unusually serious record for a single
year in a single department Of ooear
carrying traffic.

We ARE glad that the Democratic
papers Of this city have come out 80
squarely in favor of free speech, wbeth-
er the speaker be black or white
man. Orator Harris has dcne thai
much good. Had he been Republican
negro, there would have been no voice
from either the Gazette or the Every
Evening in favor of free speech. Now
we do hope our colored friends will be
as liberal as their old enemies have
suddenly become and allow this negro
Democratic Orator Harris to pursue the
even tenor of his way and organize all
the colored Democratic clubs he sees
proper. If it is wrong for bull-dozsrs
down South to break up Republican
meetings it is equally as wrong for Re-
publicsns in Delaware TO break uI
Democratic meetings. We know thai
the fact that Harris, is colored mar
has turned a traitor to the best In
terests Of his race, is very aggravating
but he is only one amongst many, ant
he has as perfect right to be Juda
or q Benedict Arnold as any one else
That he is a traitor, unprincipled ant
without character, does not deprive hin
of the right of protection and the righ
to be heard upon whatever subject h
may see proper to chose to advocate
Let Harris alone friends, let him alone

The circumstances | have related
were viviily recalled to my mind dur
ing my present visit to Battle Noun
tain by casually overhearing an ac-
count of a shooting afifay between
Bill Armstrong, a mining Spectator,
and Joe, ssThe Wolf," at Boise City,
in 1873. The details of the encoun-
ter 1 give in the words Of the nara
tor, who was an eyewitness:
s.Joe met Armstrong on the street.
and with the single exclamation, I'm
| Aeaie's hushand,'' pulled and fired.
From some unaceo,'ntable reason he
missed. Armstrong returned the fire
shooting Joe plump through the
heart. He fell on one knee, and fol
a second swayed like q reedlbeiore
storm. Grand in his physical strength
in the power of his hate, he recovered
himself. As from his ashen lips rang
out the old cry, IT'S fourteen inches

stantiy, and fell upon his face dead:

which, unsightly and pailid green
were fitting growth of unhallo"e

The old story of shame and sorrow
common in all the epochs OF tn
