ON, POLicM

The aniagonism sought to be created during
the late campaign between employees of manu-
facIurers and farmers should furnish food for
thought to those who have any capacity to COM
prehend the true relation that should exist be-
tween these and all other classes of people,
What Maryland and all the South surely need
to-day is more manufacturing element. That
condition of society and laws in our midst that
will induce, create and sustain manufacturing
among us should be studied, put into operation
and encouraged. That we are shamefully be-
hind the times, behind our sisters of the North,
East and West no man of intelligence will for a
moment gainsay. That we eau DETER our condi-
ton in every particular by adopting this policy
everybody who has three ideas above an oyster
must admit, if he is candid. The thriving towns
and villages of the North are built up by the
money that goes into them from the South and
other places to pay for the machinery they man
ufacture and send out. We believe that Mary
land could be benefited by encouraging manu-
featuring as we'll as Pennsylvania, New York and
Massachusetts. That there should be any antag-
OuiSu UclWccu idIueTS anu uuHuidCluEeT5 no
sensible man believes, and not believing be should
not advocate or encourage. Our point can best
be illustrated by locating an extensive manufac-
tory at Cockeysville to make reaping machines
We must remember at present the reapers used
by Baltimore county farmers are almost entirely
the make Of Northern and Western manufactures
All the money paid for them and their transport
tation goes out of the State. Large towns and
fiOurishing villages grow up beside the establish
ments where they are turned out. Transfer the
establishment to Cockeysvile or Towsontown %
and what takes place there would take place here
II we did not obstruct it by our one-idea policy.
The first advantage obtained would be that our
farmers could obtain their machines at home,
where they would save the transportation money
and the commission Of agents upon the price of
the machine. The wood and iron used in their
construction would be purchased from our midst.
The labor employed would be taken from our
own muscle. Whatever beneftthe establishment
could bring 10 society would accrue TO us instead
of sending il away from u.s. Our own money
would be kept in the State. The town or village
would create home market for our produce and
bring about that condition of affairs that is de-
sirable to make community prosperous. Let
us seek to find out what will do this and then
make that our policy.

The Democracy is all harmonious now
None of the inmates of the Court House desire
to remain any longer and none of the outs care
a "cuss" about getting in. What wonderful
condition of politics. Happy family
Week before last there was shipped from
the United States Mint in Philadelphia So, 300, :
9l0.32 in coin. During the same period there
was received for coinage gold bullion, 1884,
1868, and silver bar to the amount of $780,
624.46.
There were ten thousand fraudulent votes
cast for the honest and pure Democracy in Bal
timore city on election day. They were so
badly frightened that they were prepared to
manufacture any required number of votes.-
We trust there is a day of reconing.
The Republican State Treasurer of Penn
sylvana was elected by about $4,000 majority,
while he obtained 1O4, 766 votes less than Gen.
Grant did last year. And his opponent receiv-
ed 1882 fewer votes than Buckalew did in Oc-
tober, 1872. This indicates a large indifference
among the voters of both parties.

We have been informed that one Of the
members of the next Legislature from this
county has signifed his sanction to the recon-
mendatons of the resolutions adopted by the
Republican convention. We understand he
proposes to advocate legislation in their favor
when he gets to Annapolis. We shall be rejoic-
ed to see that we have not been incorrectly in
formed upon the subject. We congratulate our
fellow citizens that our agitation was not alto

should be a
NEW ASSESSMENT.
Since 1865, when the last assessment was made,
there has been less than a million and a quarter
of basis added 10 our taxable property. This is
in all the county. Any one at all familiar with
the development of the county around Baltimore
city and along the various lines of railways run
ming out of the city knows full well that our
county has increased the value of its taxable
property far beyond this amount.
Since 1866 Waverly and Oxford have been
built up. Woodbury. has almost doubled her
population and wealth. The aims house prop
erty has been sold and great portion of it laid
off into avenues and adorned with metropolitan
residences. In every portion of the county in
the vicinity Of the city property has greatly en-
HANGED in value by virtue Of improvements that
have been made. 1t is frivolous 10 tell intelli-
gent people that our property has only increased
in value million and quarter dollars since
1865. There has been a great natural increase
in the value of property in the southern section
of the city beside the enhancement obtained by
county expenditures. The people remote from
the city were taxed for this in common with the
other citizens of the county and they derive no
benefit from it. The only way in which they
can do this is by a new assessment by which the
property that has been so much enhanced in val
ne shall be obliged to respond accordingly in the
payment of taxes. We see no way in which this
can be accomplished except by a new assessment
This cannot be had without legislation. This
must be obtained, i: had at all, at the hands of
the Democratic members that have been sent
there to represent us.
This is no political affair II is one of simple
justice to everybody, Republican and Democrat,
native and naturalized. No man, who has had
the value of bis property doubled and quadru
pied by cutting it up into building lots, leas-
ing it at fabulous prices and having the county
make avenues furnish gas and police for the
protection and comfort of the easeholders and
tenants, should object to refunding to the coun-
ty treasury by paying additional taxes 1t is a
matter of local justice.
The cfficisls who will be appointed to do this
work will Of course be Democrats. But if they
do any thing like their duty, there will be a con-
siderable advance made in the taxable basis of
the property surrounding the city, while there
will be additions made in every portion OF the
county This is only fair. To leave it as it now
stands is nothing short of injustice to those re-
mote from the localities where great improve
mems have been made

EXECUTION OF NELSON WADE FOR THE MURDER OF
THE McBRIDEs. the hardest specimen
of humanity, was Wade, the murderer of the
mcot.oe .;strffiiJ, who was hung at Williamsport,
Pa, on Thursday of last week. The Sheriff
made botch Of the execution, the rope slipped
the first time dropping the criminal to the groud,
necessitating the hanging of him the second
time. Perhaps as he committed two murders,
the Sheriff thought he ought to be hung twice
On the Monday night preceding the execution
the officer on watch imagined that there was
something peculiar in the appearance of the iron
collar around Wade's neck and he took occasion
to engage Wade in conversation, and looked
sharply, when he was confirmed in his impress
sion by finding that the collar had been filed en-
tirely through, being in such condition that it
could at any time be removed with ease new
collar was procured and placed on the prisoner,
and search of the cell was instituted which re-
suited in finding poke, knife secreted in the
wall. 1t was elso found that he had a roll of
money in bis mouth which he was vigorously
chewing, with The apparent intention of swal-
lowing it. Great efforts were necessary to force
him to disgorge, and it was not until he had been
choked vigorously that the money was extricated
therefrom. The roll contained fifty dollars in
greenbacks, fifty dollar bill, and several small
bills. The impression is that Wade was saving
the money 10 use in the event of his escape, and
that with the knife he proposed taking his life
before the day OF execution in case his efforts at
escape should prove unsuccessful He appeared
quite crestiallen at beng ihwar,ed in his designs
and INDUCED in many expressions of chagrin at
the plight in v hich be found himself

The report of Mr.. ]. Fred. Myers of the Emf
grafton Inquiry Commission, has just been made
to the Secretary Of the Treasury. 1t is valua-
bic document, and presents an intelligent and
well considered review of the transportation Of
immigrants to this country, under four heads,
viz: the embarcation, the voyage, the landing
aud the inland transportation within the United
States 1t is shown that in all these departments
of immigration there are abuses and exlortions
upon the emigrant that ought TO be, and can be
corrected without cost TO the Government. In
the matter of conveying the immigrant to dis
destination in this country. for instance, fares on
slow trains are higher in proportion 10 accom-
modations than on first-class last lines. ia
bic of fares and extra baggage charges a,e given
between New York and leading points in the
West, showing that the trade in emigrant pas
sageis enormously profitable at the present rates
-three-fourths the first cass-and that charges
for extra baggage amount to prohibition Of that
which is generally with emigrants, an ahso-
Lutte necessity For this class of freight, on slow
moving trains Sl.20 per ton are charged to any
point in Kansas, over and obove the eighty
pounds allowed with each passenger This rate
on barrel of -four would amount to from $40
TO SIS and is uuquesionaby and absurdly ex-
tortionate Facts are statad showing the feast
bility, as well as the necessity for The establish
ment of Bureau of immigration, as previously
recommended aud, in part, discussed at the last
session OF Congress. New and valuable sugges
lions are made and it is mildly suggested that
the three hundred thousand human emigranls
annually transported, who cannot speak the Ian
guage of lhe-country, are, perhaps, as well enti-
tied TO protection in traasitU as the dumb ami
mails over which the Government has lately
thrown its protecting arm.

rs The Memphis Appeal says Nearly two
thousand of the citizens OF Memphis have passed
away from earth since The yellow fever began its
patchwork in September last. Think Of this
army OF nearly two thousand men and women,
varied here and there with little children, sent
to their long account They were strong in
health and full of life and hope a short time ago.
They might have been saved The homes that
have been darkened by their deaths, and the
hearts that still ache for the never returning
ligh, OF their smiles, and The sweetness of their
love, might still be bright and happy with their
living presence. The widows and orphans that
mourn for them, as only the poor can mourn,
that have been cast upon the charity of strang-
ers and the short-lived benevolence Of world
too busy to remember them tomorrow, might
have had their natural protectors to-day win
ming for them their bread A fearful response

The famous Tichbornc claimant, who is on
trial for perjury in London, seems to have a
show of walking out of court with vindicated
character and title to extensive landed estates.
Numerous witnesses are coming to his aid
Among them are old soldiers who were in Sir
Roger Tichborne's command and old servants
of his fathers family. One Jean Luie testifes
that he picked Sir Roger up at sea and identi-
fes the defendant as the man.

~Pennsylvania has been making new
constitution for nearly year. The conven-
ton that framed it has just adjourned. The
work of its hands is to be submitted to the
voters December 10th, for their adoption or re-
lection. A commission consisting of five per-
sons, three Republicans and two Democrats, has
been appointed to conduct this election in the
city of Philadelphia. The object of this is to
prevent the election in that city from being
controlled by the Board of Aldermen whose
body will cease to exist if the constitution is
adopted. The appointment of Republicans and
Democrats is credtable to Republican con-
vention. 1t savors of the fairness of the law of
Congress which provides for Republican and
Democratic supervisor of election.

LOCAL OPrIoN IN MARYLAND.-In three of the
counties on the Eastern Shore of the State, in the
late election, the question of local option was
put 10 vote and appears to have been favorahly
determined in each. The two parties agreed in
Talbot, Queen Aune's and Caroline beforehand
to prepare their tickets so that voters might cast
ballot "for" or against" local option, as they
desired, the judges also accepting the duty OF
counting such votes. The consequence is that
in Talbot it was carried by some 200 majority,
and in Queen Anue's by 81 by what majority
in Caroline is not yet definitely known. OF
course there is nothing legally binding upon any
one 10 these results, there being no law on the
subject in the State but il is clear expression
OF the sentiment of the people i'll those counties
in favor Of such law being passed.
Ng- One of the things you read of recently
occurred in Wilmington, Del. A man was de-
tected hurrying away from butcher'sstall with
a steak which he had stolen under his COAT
A policeman followed him to his home, and
peeping through the window, saw him give the
steak to his children, who devoured it raw
Upon report of this being made to the butcher,
his bosom so glowed with benevolent sympa-
thy, that instead of prosecuting, he sent the
starving family large basket of meat and
little cash to buy wood to cook it.
