We take pleasure in reproducing tho
following admirable editorial upon a
timely topic. from the columns oil the
Seattle, Wash, Times:
Is 1t not abundantly clear now to
every one that, il the predictions Of
the senHationalists had been only half
true, we would now be in the throes of
terrible war; Let any one briefly re-
fresh his memory with the events Of the
past four years. During that time, il
we might believe the sensation mongers,
we have been about to engage in war
with Chilli, Venezuela, France, Spain,
Italy, Germany, and at least twice
with Great Britain. Public opinion
mas been agitated and wrought up over
questions with all these nations.
Violent expressions have been made by
prominent public men and by certain
papers, which make up in ferocity
what they lack in intelligence. Ii is
impossible for those of tine people who
are fed on such sensations, and who
believe that this country is on the eve
OF war with somebody or other all the
Time, to view public questions calmly
They fly OF the handle the moment
that any one suggests that it is Just
as well to think twice before acting.
IL is always time enough for them 10
think after they have acted. Such
people must wonder why it is that the
terrible things they are led to antici-
pate never happen. They viii! find an
explanation in the fact that in every
section OF the country there are level
headed men who do not become crazed
the moment question of foreign
policy comes up, and who have the
courage to boldly avow their convic
tions, even at the risk Of being bounded
for . lack Of Americanisn. Public
opinion in this country is being puri-
lied as never before and the reign Of
the blatherskite is nearing its end.
And we take further pleasure in com
mending careful perusal of the above
editorial to those twin brothers in
belligerency, the Dover Index and
the Wilmington Morning News.

A sample illustration of how the CITY
of Philadelphia is carried year after
year by the Republican ring that has
so long and so corruptly ruled tho city,
is shown by the following stinging edi-
torial, printed double loaded, in the
Philadelphia Record Friday morning
As matter Of yicker, Mr.. william
Cooper Grant, assessor for the Twelfth
division Of the Fifth ward, is willing
to strike off li2 names from his list Of
registered voters and TO take a look over
it and SEQ If he can't strike off more.
AS matter of tact, Mr.. William
Cooper Grant and long line of his
scoundrelly predecessors in office ought
to he eating hash in Moyamensing.
III ll2 names should come off the as
sessors' list in one division of the Fifth
ward. what would the harvest be il
there should he a winnowing of the
fraud in tho other seventeen divisions?
No wonder Philadelphia regularly
turns out sweeping Republican ma
iority, whether the Democrats are in
fighting condition or not.

attempted by the Republicans of vii.

bartholomew Shea, tho murderer Of
Robert Ross at Troy, N. y, was exc.
cuted by electricity at Dannemora
prison, on Tuesday. His friends and
lawyers made hard fight for him. but
in the end tho law was permitted to
take its course. His fate was deserved,
however, as his crime, although com
mitted in the heat OF passion engen-
dered by a fierce political campaign,
was tho cowardly shooting Of a helpless
man who was PROSTATE upon the

carriage Of justice to permit him to

A dispatch from London says it was
announced there ON Friday that there
is good reason to believe that Vene.
zuela is prepared to enter into
friendly discussion with Great Britain
on the subject Of the Uruan arrests and
the incidents connected with thenl.
There is nothing improbable about
this, and the reasonable presumption
is that the opening of negotiations of
any kind will speedily result in the
disposal of all the matters of dispute
between Venezuela and Great Britain
to arbitration, And in the natural
logic of events, the United States
should be the arbitrator, but the un-
fortunate and mistaken course of this
government has forced us beyond the
pale of consideration in this connec.
tion. This is the most regretable re-
suit Of the wild wave of lingo folly
that recently swept over this country.

Harrison ii. Atwood Republican
Representative in Congress from Bos-
ton, has recently received various in.
timations from his constituents that
his resignation would prove acceptable,
and now he is to be confronted by a
formal demand to retire. He is
charged with having, while holding
the office Of city architect of Boston,
robbed the city Of large sums of money,
and it is said that he has practically
admitted his guilt, although not until
confronted with ample proofs. But to
suggestions that he should rosign his
scat in Congress and give the people
tho opportunity of electing an honest
man to represent them, he has thus far
insolently turned a deaf ear. Now a
formal address has been prepared,
stating that tho voters and taxpayers of
the district Of Massachusetts of which
you are now the Representative in the
Congress of the United States, hereby
call for your immediate resignation
from that Office" Among others who
signed this peremptory address is the
secretary Of the Dorchester Minister'S
Union, who did so in accordance with
the unanimous vote of that body.
Should Atwood still refuse TO resign,

The Democratic nomination election,
Saturday afternoon, was an encourage
ing political event 1t resulted in the
choice Of excellent candidates, and 1t
drew forth a vote that showed a re-
newed interest ON the part OF Demo-
Gratis in local and national politician
interest that promises well for the
prospects Of the party in New Castle
county and throughout the State.
The vote in this city was crafty
ingly large. 1t exceeded COCO, and
was within 500 OF the total vote for
Governor at the election of 1894, When
such a large proportion Of the total
vote of party is cast at
a primary contest, it indi-
Gates full vote at the election.
And with a full vote at the election,
there is small doubt Of the success OF
tho Democratic ticket in New Castle
county.
The ticket nominated is an excellent
one. MIR. James y. 1oman, the nomi-
noe for sheriff, is e we'll known citizen
and an active Democrat. Mr. George
A. Willis, the nominee for coroner, IL
well qualified for tho Office. Mr. John
n. Carsweil, the nominee for receiver
OF taxes and county treasurer, il
especially fitted. by his business AM
training, for the important Office TO-
which he has been nominated. lie
holds a responsible position 10 well
known bank, and has been faithful
and trusted employe there for years.
Mr.. John Boughman, the nominee foI
comptroller. is competent accountant
and bookkeeper, and therefore, liki
Mr. Carsweli, particularly qualified 70
the duties OF the office 10 which b
aspires.
Altogether, the ticket is strong ant
acceptable. Ii fully measures Up to Tia
standard of the ticket nominated b.
the Republicans a few weeks ago. o.
the score Of personal fitness of thu
nominees therefore, the two parties il
this county are on equal terms On
contest upon tho issue betweei
them, there can bo little doubt as 4
the result. Tire Republican part
stands for Addicksism, and whil'
AddickBism may be tolerated, eve
welcomed, by the Republican party, /
will be repudiated by the people whei
they come to pass upon it at the polls
The New Castle county Democrat
are to be congratulated upon SatuI
days work. They have auspiciousl
iDaugurated the county campaign.
