Hon. Washington Booth assumed the duties OF
the Collector OF Customs of the port of Baltimore
on Thursday of this week. 1t is position of
vital Importance to the merchants of the CITY, to
tue Republican party of the State, and to those
@"o are anxious to secure positions ander the Co..
lector.
concerning Mr.. Booths connection with the
hrst two we have spoken before. To the last
named individuals we have word to say. We
have no doubt that Mr. Booth will distribute
what patronage he has at his disposal as fairly as
ne can under the circumstances attending the
perpexites of the situation. We have this con-
fidence in him. During his administration it is
our purpose to support him in his conduct of the
department warmly and cheerfully when that
conduct addresses itself to us as being in harmo-
ny with the welfare of the business community,
the nation and the party. Now, we have some
means of knowing something about the applica-
tloas that have been handed in by seekers Of
places in Baltimore county. We do not think we
exaggerate when we say that there are ten appli-
cants for every possible place there is to fill
With this condition of affairs there will be nine
out Of every ten applicants disappointed, because
but one of the ten can get an Office. This is not
the fault of the appointing power 1t is because
the offices are too few for the applicants. The
entire ten may be each equally entitled to prefer
ment. The claims of one may be as good as an
other. They may all be equal in fitness and Ca
pacity for the place they seek. They might all
reflect equal credit upon the appointing power.
They might all be equally satisfactory to the
party. Yet one gets place and nine must be
turned away empty. The nine are disposed 10
consider the party and the appointing power I'M
grateful. They are INCLINED to grumble SzssIlay
.sh things agains ss--s z al sEiU ali I'm
as well as against those who refused to aid them.
We consider this all wrong. Yet it is natural.
1t is human nature. 1t is not the proper course
to pursue on general principles.
Understand, our words are based upon the
premise of fair dealing. This we believe Mr..
Booth will not fail to give. Just remember that
all can't get places. And This is not the Collectors
fault. Then friends, bear your disappointments
patiently. Face the music like brave men and
continue your devotion to the cause of equal
rights. Devote yourself to your accustomed pur-
suits and discharge your duties to yourselves,
your families, your country and your God with
the same zeal that you did before. The man who
serves his party or his country only for the pre-
ferments they bring does not come up to the full
standard of a man. He who espouses princi-
pie only for the pecuniary considerations or per-
sonal remuneration it may bring in the shape Of
honors, does not deserve success He is more a
man who holds fast to his integrity in his failure
to get the prize than he is who is faithful only
because be wins.

concerning the alleged ''fraudS' in Baltimore

indiscreet, for we know that he publlcly connect

charged the conduct of George N. Hiss upon toe
Republican party ito work up ga political game
whereby Baltimore county might be turned over
to the Radicals the coming fall, for the ulterior
purpose OF electing j. A. j. Creswell, United

expiring Democracy is frightened so badly at the

CENTENNIAL.-The people are making the Gen.

The good people of Philadelphia are stirring
enthusiasm to white heat in the midst of her
citizens. They evince determination TO make
the occasion the grandest one recorded in the
annals of time. The city voted half million
and the State million and half dollars that it
donated to the centennial stock. Those who
subscribe to the stock will have the advantage
of this. All parts of the State are aroused to a
laudable enthusiasm in the cause. The Phila-
delphia Press tells us that good reports are be-

West and South. But we hear of no motion be.
ing made or voice raised in "My Maryland in
