ter the eye began to slough and was removed,
but the modification went on under the compress,
and four days after the patient died. The med.
cal men pronounce the case one of apopexy Of

assert Your Ri0htS.

We are thoroughly satisfied that vazt nAHjori-
ty ofMepeople of Baltimore county desire change
in the administration of our affairs. If they were
thoroughly convinced that they have the power
of doing it entirely in their own hands they
would vindicate that power by debating the
change. But they feel bound in the iron grasp
of the merciless rings and combinations that rob
them of theirrights and control everything against
their wish
We simply have this to say-that the people are
sovereign in their capacity and have their own
destinies in tnSir own hands. If they allow
themselves TO be imposed upon they will always
find those who are ambitious enough, selfish
enough and shrewd enough to place the letters
upon them and dictate their fate. The people de-
sire to be released. The politicians, those seek
ing fat places, are always on the alert to make
their purposes win. They are combined, organized
and act with concert. This places the victory in
their own hands and enables them to laugh con-
temptuously at the vassalage they entail upon the
majority of the people They are organized-the
people are not They make this their business
the people do not. They resort to all sorts of
r7ssSs1;si 70 people 90 not They
viii sacrifice word, honor, principle, to carry
their point. The people will do neither.
Fellow-citizens, the victory is in your own
hands if you only go to work, organize yourselves
and assert your supremacy over those who are
ever making themselves your mastery. Go to
work at once. Bring out your best men. Put
their names before the voters Invite them to at
tend the primary meetings. Urge them to take
care of their dearest rights. Stir them from their
lethargy. Arouse them to an honorable action
Induce them to aid in the patriotic work. Fling
your banners to the breeze that none but honest,
capable and sober men should be elevated to posi-
tons of profit and trust. Do these things and
you will find that the politicians will sweat and
swear, bite their nails and engage in more Iaud-
able work than imposing upon the people.

@> The "back pay'' or "salary grab" of the
Congressman is something that has caused con-
siderable excitement throughout the country in
political circles. One after another who drew it
from the Treasury, as the mutterings of public
sentiment stirred the nervous system of the polii
clan, had their consciences touched in tender
point. And in obedience to the conscientious
scruples thus awakened, they have returned the
money to the Golfers of the nation or donated it
to some charitable institution in their districts
"where they thought it would do the most good. :"
In the Lower House twenty-four Republicans
and seven Democrats have returned it. Some
have refused to take it out. Eleven Senators on
the Republican side and three on the Democratic
side have returned theirs.
From the manner in which State and county
conventions have been resolving upon the ques-
ton, we are inclined to think that it will be a
rather difficult job for some of these gentlemen
who obtained $4,000 more pay than they bar
gained for to get back into the halls of Congress
