From present appearances, we will
soon SEQ the end of tho obnoxious
walking delegate. New York has
taken drastic measures to eliminate
him in that state, and the officials Of
other communities are keeping their
weather eyes on the eastern authori
ties with like end in view. In New
York some Of the dishonest "walkers'
arc being convicted Of their hold-up
methods and arc being sent to the
poniteutiary to keep company with
the rest of the rogues. This is about
the only way in which tho delegate
can be eliminated, and the authorities
OF other states should not be slow in
adopting the course beng pursued
by New York. The walking dele
gate has been tho Cause of much m,
necessary trouble and sorrow in this
country, and he should be made to
walk the plank. There is no longer
