The winter thus far has been mild and

nouncing. my sister has been doing some silly
talk in Chicago. She means we'll, but she's no
lawyer" Judge Porter immediately resumed
his argument Admonished by the falling
snow and the severity of the weather, from
which he had suffered, and from which doubt
less the jury had also suffered, he felt it neces-
sary to vary somewhat from his original in
tentions and trust to the intelligence and honor
Of the jury to supply his defects. He would
not, therefore, inger over the dry details Of
evidence Feeling it imperatively necessary

National hotel during portion Of the month
of December, and occupied room near those
occupied by the jury in the Guiteau case On
one occasion he saw the door of one Of the
rooms so occupied standing open but with no
person therein, and on the table Of said room

THE WAY To DEFEAT tho Ingalls,
swindle is to enlarge the River and
Harbor bill. Appropriate money for
works in the several States that viii
serve to make the nation richer, and
give employment to the people and
enrich their children by giving all OF
them advantages.
We have reason to believe that the
whole Delaware delegation in Con-
gress are opposed to the Ingalls, swim
die and will vote to repeal or greatly
modify it. Senator Salisbury, we are
quite sure, from an inkling in his late
speech, would greatly prefer to vote
for great educational fund dividing,
as was done under General Jackson's
Administration, forty or fifty mil
lions of dollars among the States for
educating the people. But we prefer
the building Of national works, and as
each member of Congress would be
more interested in getting improve
ments erected in his State, he would
be compelled to prefer a bill that
would give employment to the people
rather than vote for the continuance
of what the New York Herald has
very appropriately termed the Gin
gals swindle," that taxes the people
to the tone of 500, O0O,0 900 a year to
benefit pension claim agents, and in
great many instances encourage
iaziness, intemperance and vice among
class of people who were already
handsomely provided for and never
asked for or expected what ingalls, anc
the confederate aiders aud sbettor'

The Great canal Project.
PHILADELPHIA MERCHANT
APPROVING IT.

PHILADELPHIA MERCHANTS
APPROVING IT.
According to the Philadelphia papers,
the scheme to connect the Chesapeake
and DeiaEars hays by ship canal il
taYorably regarded by the merchant,
and business men of that city, and q eat
interest is felt in the probable action Of
Congress on the subject. Philadelphia
business men are inclined to favor the
project, not because il will advance the
shipping Interests OF Baltimore, but on
the ground that It will increase the I'M
portance of the Delaware Breakwater
and make that point the leading port oil
call on the Atlantic coast. Mr.. William
Brockie, president OF the Philadelphia
Maritime Exchange, is quoted as say
ing;
81 think the project one of great i'm
Dortance to commercial circles, for all
such Improvements are, in the long run,
for the general good. The canal viii

have hehrd the matter very generally
discussed within the past day or two,
and every one seems to look on it with
| favor and hopes that the project will be
-aaaFF "a

prominent Philadelphia shipping mer-
chant, is convinced that the canal
would be great benefit to shippers aud
shlp-oWners, ami Woult have good et-
feet GU the commerce of Baltimore" Mr.
Walter 6. Wilson, president of the
Mercantile Exchange of Philadelphia
strongly favors the canal, and believes
that nine-tenths of the business men and
shippers in Philadelphia take the same
view of the project. In his opinion the
canal will advance business interests all
over America, and consequently should
be- built at an early day.
The Philadelphia Times says: 1.-THE
impression evidently is that though
the main benefit of such a water " ay
would be for Baltimore, yet the increas-
ed Importance OF the BreakwAter, the
drawing INTO the lay of many shi rs hitb-
erto unknown to the Delaware capes,
and other changes resulting there from,
would be of advantage to Philadelphia
interests. The canal proposed would
cost great deal OF money, but with
such important communities as Balu-
more and Philadelphia interested in the
scheme, Congress will give the matter
careful attention"
The Philadelphia Record also speaks
in equally encouraging terms. saying

Official statistics relating to the
English army throw SOME light on a
question that has of late excited
good deal of interest-that of the
great proportion of youthful and raw
recruits in the ranks. 1t appears that
the proportion af men under 20 years
of age in the whole army is 104 per
1000, and that the great bulk of the
men-that is 62O per 1,OOo--are be-
tween the ages of 90 and 23. There
cannot be much fear for the physique
of an army of which more than one
half consists of men in the prime of
their strength.

Mn. BLAINE's DPLoMAcY.--Lord
Granville has sent to Minister West
an answer to Mr.. Blaine's note re-
questing the English Government TO
agree To the abrogation Of the Clayton
Bulwer treaty, Tbs reply is dictated
with the usual tact and ability that
charcterizes the diplomacy Of the
English statesmen. The treaty never
ought to have been ratified by the
United States.
AS soon az it was signed and pro-
mulgated the ablest Of our American
statesmen saw that language had been
Cunningly put into it to trick the gov
eminent of the United States into an
acknowledgment Of the rights OF the
English to protectorate over tue
Mosquito Coast, which gave away the
very sentiment that the treaty was in"
tended to preserve, namely, the Mon
roe doctrine, denying the right Of for
eign powers to establish and maintain
governments on this Continent. Such
Democratic statesmen as Gen. Lewis
Cass and Senator S. A. Douglass took
strong ground against it in the Senate;
but the weight and argument Of Mr..
Clayton induced his party friends to
vote for its ratification. Now, Lord
Granville is given an opportunity by
Mr.. Blaine to draw other nations OF
Europe into the controversy over its
abrogation by saying all the nations OF
the world are interested in the Panama
Canal.

elaSl with which the report to Congress Of
VIM Cgpt. Turtle, for building ship canal
aaiw between the Chesapeake Bay aud the
a'nia ocean at the Breakwater at Loves,
1911 Delaware, greatly encourages the be-
s,eg lief in the feasibility of the work,
tlno and that it may be commenced at an
earlier day than the advocates hoped
for D year ago. 1t is true that there
.SboWaa aitime in the recent past when
3Qd enthusiastic persons entertained the
sac opinion that this work would be built
-" BY i company of capitalists, and with
,s this view the first surveys were COM
odR menced, and the practicability of the
sd icwoFk shown, the paying advantages

sd u construction of a great ship canal

therefore, its construction by Con-
.gad gresa should, and it Is hoped will, be
drt favored by Western members. 1t
was feared for time that the PhilR-
T., delphia interests would be against

several millions Of dollars therefor
ought to be got through Congress a
