The Public Meeting held Wed

nesday evening was probably unique in the
history of corporate politics The impress
sion had prevailed that it was called as a
"Citizens meeting in order to divcst the
administration of local affairs of the onus of
party. The idea was good, ana was carried
far enough to obtain both an excellent re-
publican chairman and democratic secretary.
On motion, however, to declare it "citi
Zens' meeting" some considerable opposi
tion was exhibited, wherein the ayes and
noes were so nearly equal that the assembly
would be satisfied with nothing short of u
division of noses. The result was declared
favorably to the "citizcns" by slight ma.
jority.
After the Mayoralty question was settled
by the unanimous selection of Mr. FRosT,
the nominations for Councilmen dropped ON
the Secretary faster than he could inditc the
euphonious patronymics; in fact, the Chair
intimated to the people they must go slow"
and we imagined we detected fearful con-
Ception in his mind of the consequences of
everybody in Frostburg running for the
Council. However, sun shiny sense of
relief was plainly visible in his countcnancc
as he promptly put motion to ''close nom
nations" which was agreed to.
Then ensued the exalted privilege of the
American sovcreign-preparing ard cast
ing his ballot A few anxious faces looked
like the inherent impulses of freedom re-
GREETED the restriction of human liberty to
one vote TO each man.
But the vote went on, and the result in
dlcatcd how the minority in citizens meet

The compact to regard this as IL citizens
meeting was implied as binding upon
al to divide their sutfragcs between the
parties in fact, so much was repeatedly ex-
pressst,. But the little tell-tale ballots leak.

COMPOSING THEIR ERRORS AND ACCEPT.
ING OUR PLATFORM

While the Democrats made no admission of
their previous errors in their platform, or in
their canvass, they are now being forced to con
fession. Some of them now say-what their
resolutions at Dover avoided saying-that there
should be a Constitutional Convention, and their
Dover organ, inspired, doubtless, from sources
near at hand begins to discuss both reform in
the school system, and mitigation Of that gross
niquity, the double taxes imposed on mortgage
debtors. The Delduaredn of Saturday has the
grace to say that " the feature of our revenue
law that in effect puts double tax on mort
gagged land is legislative error that should
q" be Immediately rectfed.'
This is good. 1t is a case of improved sight
But how sadly slow have these Democratic eyes
been to see Here has this iniquitous double
tax been laid for years (four or SKIP and for
years have the complaints Of mortgaged land
holders been going up against it. At tho last
session Of the Legislature bills that would have
Immediately rectifedr it we're introduced by
both Mr. Thompson and Mr.. Clark, of this coun-
ty, and were defeated by the Democratic major
ity. During the recent canvass, the subject was
again up, and the Democratic papers, Dclaeare-
an included said nothing about it. At last how
ever when the evil has been so long endured
they begin to it, and now they think it should
be rectiiied Instantly of such stuff Is Demo
sratic reform made-leaving burdens upon the
public shoulders long after the groans Of the vic
timz make his overloaded condition plain.
Still it il something to sec our opponents com
ing to the Republican platform, though with tar
dy and unwilling steps. State Reform is our need
and n sofnethinO in that diractinn is raaI to l.,
conceded by the party which has hitherto beer
stone deaf to all demands for it, the concession
Is not only gratifying to the Republicans as
testimony that they have been right but it ha

No RaIlrOad PASSES UnIess' AccOnipa-
mIed by phOLOHrmphs.

The practice Of transferring passes on the
Pennsylvania Railroad has become 70 preya-
lent, that device has at last been resorted To
TO prevent it. Every member of both houses of
the Legislature in Pennsylvania. and New
Jersey, has been.furnished with yearly pass.
Many Of these passes are transferred TO friends
and acquaintances, who travel on them az il
they we're bona tide possessors, and thus the
Railroad Company has been constantly de-
frauded. To obyiate this happy thought
struck a member Of the Pennsylvania Legisla.
ture at Its latest session. He suggests that a
photograph of the person to whom a pass was
granted should be attached to the back of the
ticket. The idea at first appeared ludicrous. but
nevertheless it il to be carried out during the
coming year. Every person desiring a new pass
must send forward photograph which will be
copied and the copy pasted on the ticket Lest
the arrangement might embarrass legislation, a
railroad photographer will be sent to Trenton
and another to Harrisburg, to take photographs
without charge.-N. y. Herald.

The Divorce Laws OF Massschusetts

Have undergone considerable tnkering within
the last few years, and some of the latter
changes have been pronounced unconstitutional
by the supreme court. The acts OF 1870 pro-
vided for granting divorces for various causes,
the divorces TO be conditional upon the parties
living separate for hye years, upon evidence of
which the divorces would be made final, but
without leave to marry again The legislature
of 1873 enacted that such divorces granted there
after should be absolute, and with leave to mar
ry. The last legislature attempted to make the
previous act retroactive, and passed statute
declaring that all divorces which had been
granted under the act Of 1870 should be oonsid-
cred absolute, and should give the parties the
right to re-marry. The supreme court has, how
ever decided the latter act unconstitu-
tional on the ground that the power of granting
divorces is judicial, and not legislative. that
while the legislature could alter 1t as it pleased
the grounds and extent of future divorces, it
could not interfere III any way with those pre-
viously granted by the Court Those who hur-
riedly availed themselves of the power to get
divorced under the law of 1870, before ts amend
ment will probably doubt hereafter the truth OF
such proverbs as the one which says "Delayt
are dangerous

Paris correspondent OF the Philadelphia
Press gives some interesting facts respecting
throughout the land is interested. namely, the
preparation of human hair and its transforma-
tion into switches, ringets. &c. The largest es-
tablishment of this nature in the world exists in
Germany. 1t il situated in a town called Wetz-
lar, in the valley of Lain. 1t is the depot to
which the travelling collectors of hair bring their
wares to dispose Of, and 80 extensive are its
transactions that their wares are ar
ranged in bales, each containing three and four
hundred pounds of hair. These bales each con-
tain heterogeneous mass of human locks of
every shade and texture, from raven black to
taxen blonde, from horsehair coarseness to
silken hnenees. This is the material in the
rough, and very dirty and disgusting are often
the peasant-grown tresses when brought into
the factory. All the hair is thoroughly boiled
before being placed in the hands of the work
girls, of whom some six hundred are employed in
this establishment. The hair, when dried and
smoothed, il then carefully sorted ac-
cording to color and length. Good brown
hair of average length s worth about S75 a
pound the highest priced hair is pure white,
long tresses OF which are sold, not by the pound
but by the single hair, each hair being valued
at about half a cent. The most valuable of the
natural hues IL pale gold a switch Of that color
was displayed, valued at nearly 800, even in

| ing six feet in length, and for which 500 dol
lars has been paid to the original owner thereof

be reserved for exhibition at our Centennial
