Trust what Time has Sanctioned.

The maxim that the voice Of the people is the
voice of the divinity may in some cases, be open
to doubt, but the testimony of honest and en-
lightened witnesses extending through series
of years. and all to the same purport, is worthy
of credence admits of no question. Upon such
testimony the reputation of Hostetter's 1Stom-
ach Bitters as an antidote and cure for many
ailments is based. During the twenty years
that it has been before the world, innumerable
preparations intended to compete with it, have
gone up like rockets, and come down the ex-
tinguished sticks. Meanwhile the progress Of
that incompatible tonic has been swift and
steady-always upward and onward like the
eagles fight. Its introduction produced re-
volution in therapeutics, and it proved to be
one of those salutary revolutions that cannot
60 backwards. To-day Hostetter's Bitters is
one Of the most popular remedies in chrlsten-
dom, and commands larger sale than any 9TH
er medicinal preparation, domestic or import
ed, on this side of the Atlantic. AS cure for
dyspepsia, bilious disorders, nervous affections,
general debility. and as a preventive OF cpl
demic fevers, it takes precedence of every other
remedy. This fact should teach the ambitious
country dealers who endeavor to foist their To-
cal abortions on the public in its stead, how
futile their small attempts to cajole the COM
munity must necessarily be. Where the game
fish have failed there is no chance for the
nsuckers.''

Falling from a Balloon q Mile above the
EARTH


Earth.
A telegram states that at Paoli, Orange
county: Ind, Saturday, Professor Wilbur
made arrangements for balloon ascension.
He was to be accompanied by George H.
Knapp, editor of the Orange county Union.
AS they were about getting into the balloon
the cords gave way, and they made spring
for the car, but only succeeded in graspng
the ropes. AS the balloon rose Knapp let go
and fell at height of about. thirty feet with
out serious injury. Prof. Wilbur held on and
attemp pied to climb into the basket, but was
unable to do so, and the balloon shot upward
rapidly with the aeronaut hanging below.
The spectators were thrilled with horror at
the terrible scene which ended in dreadful
manner. At height Of about one mile the
doomed man let 60 bis hold, and came whirl-
ing to the earth. At the height he had at
tanned he looked like a small stick about a
foot long AS he approached the earth he
was coming down feet foremost, then spread
out horizontally, then doubled up, turned
over, and then Strengthened out with his head
downward. As he struck the earth he fell
upon bis head and back. His head was
mashed into an indistinguishable mass and
the body was crushed and bruised horribly.
To add to the, painful character of the acct
dent, the Professors young wife and little
daughter were on the ground and witnessed
the terrible affair.

National CommercialConven

The National Commercial Convention held
its final session on Friday. The Committee
on Finance and Taxation reported against di
rect taxation, in favor of the abolition of the
income tax and the collection of revenue prin-
cipally from imports. The latter clause gave
rise to a tilt between the Protectionists and
Free Traders, but the Convention stood by the
report of its committee. The resolution ask
ing for the same action regarding the taxes
on coal oil, iron and other products, were
adopted. 1t was resolved to memorabilia
Congress for an appropriation of public lands
in aid of general education. Reports on For

A Coin of Two Centuries Ago.

On Monday afternoon last VIM. Feltmeyer,
Esq, contractor, while laying the gutter on
the south side of Gloucester street, found an
old coin. On the face in the outer circle, is
the word Massachusetts," and three partially
destroyed letters, one resembling IN, !" in the
inner circle leafess tree, with partly visible
roots. On the reverse outer circle bears the
words "New England, An. Dom;" in the CEN
tire are the figures 1852" and directly un-
derheath the numerals XII" This ancient
silver coin is about the size of an old English
shilling; the edge of the rim is worn in three
places about the sixteenth part of an inch,
and with this exception it is in fine state OF
preservation, which fact gives weight to the
supposition that it had been coined but brIei
time previous to its loss or burial, remaining
probably two centuries hid from the avaricl-
ons eyes of msu.-RepubSican, annapolis.

TCoMMUNICATED.1

Mr.. EDITOR He who at this day would
do ought to take away one vote from the
great Democratic organization of our country
is practically an enemy of self-government.
Some diversity of opinion in county is not
a sufficient excuse to forsake this great Dem
ocratc organization. This ought to be self
evident. A selfish motive is an insufficient
excuse. To know ones self is not as easy as
most men think. The statesman of our
country ought to know no North, no South,
no East, no West But when the statesman
of our day would not apply this great Demo-
cratic compromising sentiment to the little
county in which he lives, will ever live a
neutobalis, and his friends, even in county,
will not know how long he may attach him
self to so-called Jeffersonan sentiment, or
any other sentiment. The great Democratic
organization is a compound Of the purest SEN
timents, not only of Jefferson, but of Wash
ington, Madison, Monroe, jackson, Van Bu-
rem and Others For almost a century the
Democratic party has been organized, and dur
ing this long period, with few exceptions, has
been at the helm of the government of this
country. The noblest and purest sentiments
Of self-government have emanated from the
genius of Democratic presidential men, who
by their broad practical craftsmanship have
caused despotisms Of Europe to tremble, and
them to relax oppression. Is he going to a
party who so long did this; or, where is he
going? 1t is the duty of every man 10 our
county to be more or less politician. But
it is not the duty Of every man to expect an
office for being politician. The humble
writer has served the Democratic party forty
years, and has not yet had an Office, and does
not expect one-to forsake the Democratic
party on this account is an insufficient excuse.
Forsake who may, it never is to be discourage
ed. As well may we forsake kind and af-
fectionate father, in the hour Of his greatest
need, for some imaginary fault, when that
reprimand was for the good of the child. Let
US have some Roman or Grecan 6rmness, or
some Roman and Grecian virtues. Let not
self be the only altar at which we worship.

Beecher on Frauds.

Henry Ward Beecher delivered sermon in
his church, in Brooklyn, N. Y, on Sunday,
on the alleged city frauds, which seems to
have been well-considered and sensible pro-
duction. He told his pew-holdcrs very frank
ly that no political capital could be made out
of these disclosures, as they were simply an
evidence of the financial dishonesty of the
times, which is as manifest in Washington as
in New York, and is as true of commercial as
of political circles.

Ny DEAR SIR: Since the publication of my
Card of the 22d of September, have been fire.
quently asked whether or not am a Democrat.
Fearing that doubts may existein the minds OF
some, answer most emphatically, that l am
one of the old school, and shall vote for the
nominees of the Democratic and Conservative
State Convention as made, and will vote for
the nominees of the Democratic and Conserva-
tive Federal Convention when made. But
shall reserve to myself the right to vote for all
county offices, as may seem to me best. am
in hopes this note will satisfy the inquiring

st. Johns College.

1t has always been matter of surprise that
Maryland, where educational interests have
been so generally appreciated, should not have
supported more heartily her oldest and chief
institution of learning, st. Johns College, and
that the sentiment Of State pride, if no 9TH
er motive, should not have prompted her to
build up within her own limits collegiate
institution of such character as should rem
der it unnecessary for young men desiring a
collegiate education to leave the State for that
purpose. st. Johns College, Annapolis, was
established by act of Legislature in Novem-
Der, 1874, and the year following, the King
William School, established at Annapolis a
bout 1904, was Incorporated with it. 1t is,
therefore, for our new country, an ancient seat
of learning. 1t has in it nothing of secta-
rian character. 1t has been always recogniz-
ed both by Legislative enactments and the
liberality ofindividual citizens, as Maryland
school, having special claims upon the patron
age and support of the State and its citizens.
1t has endeavored to make its advantages as
accessible as possible to those who are worthy,
but who have not the means to defray all the
expenses of college course. A system Of
one hundred and fifty State scholarships has
been founded, each of them entities the hold
er to exemption from room rent and tuition
fees, if, on examination, he is found qualified
to enter any class in the preparatory depart
ment of the college. Each Senatorial District
of the State is entitled to six of these scholar
ships, which are filled by the School Commits
sioners of each district. who are recommended
to make the scholarships the reward of COM
petitive examinations. The college for the
past four years has educated on the average
more than one hundred and sixty students
each year. Its course of instruction embraces
all that is taught in colleges of the highest
! class in the United States.-R0lt. Sun.

The Banner District.

A move has originated with some of our
brethren here to present handsome banner
to the District which shall show the largest
average gain this year over the vote of last.
This gives all the Districts chance, and we
expect some hot work among our friends for
the honor and prize. George l.. Herbert,
Esq, is receiving subscriptions to purchase
the banner, and from his present success the
Banner is likely to be one worth winning.

by the Washington correspondent of the New

Representatives will be PAL, giving two each
to Illinois and Missouri, and one each to Iowa,
Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, New Jersey,
Texas and Wisconsin. New York will lose
three, Ohio and Pennsylvania two each, and
Kentucky one, while the New England States
will lsse six in all. Some two or three States
will probably gain an additional member for
large fractions. which will require the action
of Congress to authorize elections at large.
