As the chameleon changes color with

is, hall we have county convention.
When such an important issue is raised it
is no wonder that our peoples mind become
agitated in such an unprecedented degree.
The term convention and anti-conventlon
are unimposing in sound, they carry with
them no historic associations; they have
never been used as party cries" to stir
into living actions the passions and pre-

been heard in our national halls,
nor fired our citizens in times OF civil COM

brother countrymen they are treated by
some with an indifference almost amounting
to contempt. But to those who are gifted
with profounder insight into the welfare
of our country, and who can see high
principle involved, and not simple form,
the words convention and anti-convention
convey deeper Specification than any
mere party cognomen. Convention means
that a body Of men, insignificant in num-

should work to the detriment of the people.

WONDERFUL ESCAPE.
A Man Falls One Hundred Feet and Els
capes Without Injury


On Saturday morning Mr.. David Thomas
was engaged in removing one Of the large
dormer windows near the apex of the root
of the City.mills, on the south bank OF the
Appomattox, and happened at the time not
to be properly supported by rope or other
wise in his position. The window-frame
became suddenly loosoned from its fasten-
ings and fell forward, nail or piece of tim
Der catching in Mr.. Thomas shirt and
pulling or dragging him down. Mr..
Thomas rolled down the steep roof with the
l0osened timbers and slid off into the air,
nearly 100 feet above the ground, turning
many somersets in his rapid descent. Very
fortunate for him he landed in the forebay
of the mill, plunging into, water ten or
twelve feet deep. Those who were cOgni-
zant of his terrible fall, expected to find
only his lifeless and mangled remains at
the base of the building. Their grateful
surprise may be better imagined than de-
scribed when, on reaching the spot, instead
of finding him corpse, they saw Mr..
Thomas endeayoring to make his way out
of the forebay. The surprise was still
greater when il was found that he was not
even hurt-not even scratched The top of
the forebay is SPAWNED by heavy stills of
logs, placed at distance of about four
feet apart TO strengthen it. Mr.. Thomas
fell between two of these logs, not touching
either, while the window.frame struck upon
one of them, and was shattered into frag-
ments.
Mr.. Thomas subsequently walked to his
home on Bollingbrook street and changed
his clothes and afterward appeared upon
the streets as well as ever, and apparently

Tho oldest Presiding Judge In the World

Tho Oldest Presiding Judge In the World
Probably the oldest presiding Judge in
the world is James Garland of Lynchburg,
Virginia, who, though he reached the age
OF 90 last Friday, administers justice In the
corporation court. The only other case in
recorded history is that OF Sir Thomas
Moore, who at the same age sat on the
kings bench, while his distinguished son,
Sir John Moore, was chancellor. Judge
Garland was born in Nelson county,
and nearly all his long life has been In
the public service. Fifty years ago
atter. being in the...stste legislature, he en-
tered congress as Jackson Democrat. In
1888 he lost his seat ana soon after moved
TO Lynchburg, where for seventeen years
he prosecuted all criminals arraigned by
the state In the courts Of that city. For
twelve years past he has been judge Of the
corporation court, tribunal OF the high
est original jurisdiction, which passes upon
cases OF life and death. Something more
than q year ago his eyeslght long since
milling, was lost entirely, nccessitating
papers submitted by them, and Il is re-.
marked that he retains their contents per-
fectly after once hearing them. This, how
ever, Is the last year of his judgeship. Not
feeling disposed TO acknowledge the saving
virtues of readjustment or the leadership
OF Malone the sturdy Old virginian will
leave the bench at the end of December TO
make room for one of the later issue of
Virgnians who thinks and votes as NAV BIO

ENGLISH STATIsTICIANS who have
been taking a census Of church attend
arce have turned their attention to
taking the number of those who visit
bar rooms and the comparison with the
number of church goers is by no means
encouraging to church attendants and
to temperance people. At Bristol, Eng
land, the two systems were employed
for comparative results. All persons
entering the public houses on a certain
Saturday night between seven and
eleven o'clock were diligently counted,
aud it was found that out Of popula'
ton of 206, 900, more than one half
lO5, 900 entered bar rooms, 54,O74 OF
them were men, 36,S03 were women
and l2,4lJ were children. The church
attendance for the following Sunday
was 1909, i52 or 1852 in excess OF the bal
room attendance, but it included
the morning and the evening service
while the public houses were watched
only at night. The Pail Mall Gazette
referring to these startling figures says
at is evident there is a much keenel
appetite among the men Of Bristol fol
things spirituOus than for things spir
itual. Yet there is no reason to bsliev'
that Bristol is worse than any othe

More than half the battle Of q politi-
cal campaign is fought out in Delaware
seven months before the election. Our
laws require that person in order to
vote must he assessed six months PRIOR
to the election at which he offers to
vote and that he must have paid a tax
within two years Of the election. The
law brings tax paying and assessing on
in January and February. One oppor-
tunity for getting assessed has passed
nv hut another commences tomorrow.
at 10 O'Clock at the City Hall, at which
time both the Wilmington assessors
will sit 10 assess those who have been
overlooked from any cause. The only
additional trouble required Is that at
the assessment which Commences to-
morrow at ten o'clock and which will
last from ten to five o'clock each day
for five days, the applicant must be
provided with freehold voucher, who
will make affidavit before the assessor
that the applicant is proper person to
be assessed. Now let all who know
they are not assessed apply at the City
Hall tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock,
and not leave until they know that
their names are placed on che assess
pent. 1t is quite true that such mode
of assessment is an outrage upon the
freedom of the elective franchise, but 1t
is the law nevertheless, and for the
present it must be complied with.
The great object is to get assessed
first, then pay the taxes assessed, and
then 90 to the polls and elect men to
Office who will pass laws to make vo'
ting honest and easy, instead Of laws to
ldisfrauchise the people. Don't forget
the assessment which commences to-
morrow.

The Board of Trade last Saturday
pirht had under consideration some
very important subjects etfecting the
prosperity of the city and the security
and comfort of the citizens. The action
relating to the appointment of build
ing inspector pertains to the security Of
life. In the great rush for putting up
cheap houses to meet the great demand
at present, no doubt there are many
very imperfect and insecure buildings
erected. SO far as the city is concerned
there is no check whatever on the
building of insecure houses. Nowthat
our city seems to have cnt loose from
its swaddling bands and is bounding
forward at the rate Of $50 dwelling
houses a year it is OF the greatest i'm
portance that building inspector
should be appointed,
Az shown by the Board the watel
supply Is also OF the gteaCeSC hhpoi
lance. If the consumption of watel
doubled in the last ten years it vii
quadruple itself in the next ten. Thi'
being so where is our supply to COM

Figures for kepablicans.

In 1880 General Hancock carried
Delaware over General Garfield by 1l42
majority. There were in this city
alone at that time 600 Republicans who
did not vote simply because some OF
them were not assessed and could not
vote, and few others were too indiffer-
ont to pay their taxes and vote. We
have good reason to believe that tbs
same proportion holds good throughout
the State. If it did, then there were
about 1000 Republicans in the State
who did not vote at that election. Had
they all voted, GARFIELD would have
carried the State by 800 majority. In
St. Georges Hundred alone 200 Repub-
licans were DISTINGUISHED because Demo
cratic assessors and Democratic Levy
Courts would not assess them.
Had these 1000 Republicans voted
Delaware would have been numbered
amongst the States that voted for the
illustrious martyr Garfield. Had even
800 of these 1000 Republicans, who re-
manned away from. the polls voted, the
Honorable Judge Houston would be
representing Delaware in the National
Congress instead Of E. L. Martin, dis
tinguished for his completely with
blockade running and furnishing sup
plies to the rebel army during the late
civil war. Had but 800 of these delin-
uuents in Sussex county voted, the
Legislature of Delaware would have
been two-thirds Republican in one
House and one-third in the other, and
in that case Anthony Higgins, ESD, or
some other good Republican would
have been elected to the United States
Senate instead of Thomas F. Bayard,
who at the best only holds his seat by
the Acknowledgement of $4,000 Of his
own immediate constituents whom he
misrepresents.
Let Republicans ponder over these
things, especially those who did not
vote in 1880 and those who are not yet
properly qualified to vote ip'lSSs' Let
them look at the figures we have given
and see what their votes would have
done had they voted, and while re-
fecting upon this let them resolve that
such delinqueucies shall not defeat the
Republican party of Delaware again.
If every Republican will do his duty
in the approaching campaign, Repub-
lcan Governor, Republican Congress-
man, Republican Legislature, RspIbli-
can Y. s. Senator and Republican
Levy Courts in all the counties of the
State will be the reward for duty well
ard faithfully done.

Attorney Scoville is going through a
thankless task in asking for new trial
for his brother-in.law, the assassin,
Guiteau, and yet it is creditable to him
that he intends to leave no stone un-
turned that would in any way help his
case, Even should he succeed in get.
ting a new trial granted, it is evident
that it would have the same result. Very
little hope can be extracted from case
in which ten weeks were occupied in
trying, and in which it only took the
Jury ten minutes to make verdict.
The aspect of the case to Mr.. Scoville
must be of the most forlorn character.
Beyond the delay he may secure in the
execution of the sentence of the law, it
is difficult to see what he can expect to
accomplish. 1t is safe to say that the
new trial asked for will not be granted,
and if an appeal is made to the full
bench of judges it is quite certain to be
equally resultless. 1t is generally I'M
derstood and the opinion is no doub,
correct, that Judge Cox has commune
Gated with the other judges of tie Dis
trict at every important phase of the
trial. His rulings as 70 the jurisdiction
of the court, and upon other points a.
to which error may be assigned by Mr.
Scoville have no doubt all been antici
pated beforehand, and have received
their entire and unanimous concur
renee.
View the case as Mr.. Sc0ville pleaseI
the prospect is indeed dark and dis
couraging. Guiteau has got to hang
unless he becomes a raving maniac o.
commits suicide. The idea of pardon
