The Mormons are determined in their own
mind. They were informed by Congress that
no one who practiced polygamy would be adj
mitted as Representative. But they have
disregarded this admonition and charged upon
Congress again with their Cannon. The wo-
men generally voted the Mormon ticket.
The National Executive Committee of the
Union League of America convened at the

Ex-Governor VIM. A. Newell of New Jersey,
presided. Maryland was represented by Col
I. r. Rich. A committee was appointed to

lied by few of the inhabitants Of Chester

have had a material bearing on the verdict

The donations Of the Legislature of Mary
land last winter to the colleges, academies and
private schools amounted to thirty-six thous-
and dollars. This is handsome sum to do
nate to the purposes of education. 1t demon
strates the amount of interest the Democracy
has in bringing up the rising generation in
the way they should go. Their anxiety for the
intelligence of the rising generation leads
them to an indiscriminate donation of public
funds to private institutions. Of course this
don't reach everybody, but it benefits those
who desire their sons and daughters to gradu-
ate at colleges or academies.
One of the attempts of the un-Democratic
Democracy of Maryland to take the power
from the hands of the people has been thwart-
ed by the Circuit Court of Anne Arundel coun-
ty, which has declared the law creating
Board of Police for Annapolis giving the APP
pointment of said Board to the Governor-in-
operative. The Mayor and City Council of
Annapolis have control of this part of the city
government and they being Republican, the
wisdom of our Legislature conceived it to be
its duty to deprive the people of the power of
naming their police. Annapolis has Jared bet

Eek Governor Bigler Of Pennsylvania, who
is chairman of the finance committee of the
Centennial of Philadelphia, has been exerting
himself with the moneyed folk Of Massachu-
sets, to obtain funds for the grand Centennial
celebration. And he has met with that sue
cess which every generous enterprise meets
from the Yankee spirit. Funds have been
subscribed to such an extent that the commit
tee has given out the contract for the iron
work for the building. We believe that if
Congress at its next session should refuse to
appropriate dime to the cause that the peo-
pie will come to the rescue and foot all the
bills. Large amounts Of money can be raised
in the United States in short time.
The duty of the Republicans, who do the
voting, who desire no patronage and who have
enlisted for life under the Republican banner.
advocating its measures because they are sin.
cerely devoted to its principles, is to act in
obedience to their dictates concerning this
that man or measure. Nothing is better cal
culated to ruin a party than disposition
among its working force to encourage aud par
ticipate in the personal squabbles of any of its
members The voters should say to these "you
people can settle your disputes among your
selves; we do not intend to be pulled into them
and so far as we can prevent it, the party shall
take 10 part in the matter" The voters are
the masters if they will exercise their power in
o manly spirit.
