hopes of resurrection VIII our am
liable brother of the Journal tell US
what peculiar disease killed it.? Al
so the precise authority he has for
announcing its death?
Was the singular result OF last falls
election I'm Ohio, the cause Of its
death, or simply The effect? il the
party is dead, what new political
structure has been raised upon its
ruins? Please give us the name by
which it is uniformly known
throughout the country. The New
York World which is considered as
pretty good authority in politics and
which is decidedly Democratic, re-
CARDS the party as stronger now than
ever before, and is well sustained in
its opinions by election returns every
where. If there is a
prominent party in this country to-
day that can boast of record better
than its contemporaries we humbly
submit that that party is the Democ-
racy. 1t has neither changed its
name nor its principles to suit the
convenience of ambitious politicians.
1t has blots upon its history as well
as other organizations, but the prin-
ciples Of the party are not responsible
for the sins of its votaries. Evil
minded men and unprincipled poll
ticians have brought discredit upon
the name at different times, but the
party lived, and we hope the name
and organization may live while
time lasts, though we ever stand
ready to assist any political organi-
cation in accomplishing just ends or
upholding the integrity Of the coun-
try, no matter by what name it Is
known. But to the last we insist
that the old Democratic willows are
sufficient for us to hang to until We
see something purer and BETTER

"SqueIchingn a newspaper il, we
suppose, Il rather exhiiarating pas
time, But il has its risks.
Not many years ago newspaper
made itself very disagreeable to the
(then) most powerful man i'm New
York. 1t called Cit iWaich!' and
stop thief! and the like. 1t dealt
in the plainest and most brutal Sax
on. 1t took a drugged and snoring
community by the shoulders and
fairly shook it and pummeled it into
wakefulness.
The most powerful man in New
York resented this conduct very high
ly--as was natural. 1t was given
out that the offending newspaper
would be 'squelched.' He had con-
troll of the city government. He
owned the Mayor, the Common
Council, the army of minor officials,
even Judge or two. He was the
acknowledged head and autocrat of a
great political organization. All the
depraved and dangerous elements in
society recognized him as their natu-
raj leader. He had immense power,
immense wealth, and immense per-
sonal following.
Even among respectable classes,
even among the bankers and import
ers and merchant princes, there were
found not a few to discredit the
newspapers charges; not few to
censure it as going too far, and in
duiging in unnecessary violence OF
language not few to charitably in
sist that, after all, the great man had
done a good deal for the city; not a
few to argue that he was great deal
too powerful to he unseated and that
it was very useless and ili-advised in
the newspaper to make such fuss.
A drugged city, lethargic public
sentiment. peevishly muttered de-
sire tn be let alone.
The prospect for successful issue
to the 'sqneIching' experiment seem
ed excellent. Most Of the other
newspapers Of the city stood afar of
gleefully rubbing their hands in an
ticipatiOn Of what WAS coming.
Some Of them were in the powerful
mans pay; others had not even that
shameful excuse, but were governed
simply by mean and petty hatred
of n business rival.
Notwithstanding all this, the New
York Times is still published regular
ly Mt the old stand, and, to all APP
pearance Is enjoying very fair news
paper health; while the address Of
the powerful man, at latest accounts,
WAS Penitentiary, BlackwelPs Is

ace, has passive voice--a little cir
cumstance which amateur conjuga-
tors are apt to forget, but which it is
rather important to remember

After the compromise was made
upon which the Iowa House was or
ganized, the election Of Speaker and
other officers followed. We thought
the Antics acted In bad faith and in
very curly style. 1t was supposed
that the entire vote in the House
would be given to Gear, and the
Anti officers. In this respect there
was marked contrast in the action
Of the two parties. 1t took nearly
half an hour to call the roll on Speak
er. Nearly one-half the Antics asked
to be excused from voting, and many
who did vote stated their reasons for
voting for Mr.. Gear, asked that their
reasons be stated on the journal, or
voted Under protest. The result was
that Mr.. Gear received only 70 votes.
The Republicans acted differently.
Having agreed to compromise, they
acted on it in good faith, and every
Anti candidate received 81 votes or
more. They made no protest, nor
asked to be excused. The people
knew the conditions of the obliga-
ton they had entered into, and it
was not worth while to make any
explanations. The name of our
friend Anderson was called first, and
in almost every instance he had to
ask the name of the Anti candidate,
but as soon as he learned ii he
promptly voted for him.
We did think the churlishness ex-
hibited by number of the Antics
was not only in bad taste, but also
an exhibition Of bad faith.-Fdirfeld
Ledger.

THE BALTIMORE COUNTY SHERlFF's FEEs.-The
bill before the Legislature in relation to the fees
Of the Sheriff of Baltimore county, before its
passage by the House, was amended that the
sheriff shall be allowed $3.50 for each days at
tendance in person or by deputy upon the court
wheI it is actually in session, and also that the
county commissioners may in the exercise of a
careful, wise and sound discretion and of
scrutinizing judgment, allow him such further
compensation for serving bench warrants and
attachments, and performing extra duty, as
may seem to them right and proper pro-
vided, that before they shall order to be paid
to him any money for doing so other than the
fees now allowed in the code, (section 81, arti-
Gle 3S) petition shall be filed with them for
each case, which shall be kept in their Office,
and shall set forth accurately and in detail the
nature and kind of services for which the ex-
ira compensation is asked, the time consumed
in performing them, the circumstances, and
why any such extra compensation is asked,
and why such extra services were necessary,
and shall be verified by the oath of the sheriff
and of the deputy who performed such services,
audit shall be the duty of the County Com
sioners to examine carefully each petition and
see that the requirements Of this act are strict
ly complied with and they shall not order to
be paid any claim for extra compensation un-
less each and every provision is fully compli-
ed with, and unless there is annexed to each
petition an affidavit of the truth of the matters
in it, and that such extra services were abso-
lutely and indispensably necessary in each case,
and they after all the requirements of this act
are complied with shall then pay only such
sum for extra compensation as shall APP
pear to them to be a fair, reasonable, and pro-
per compensation, and unless fully and entire.
~ satisfied, after the examination of the petit
ton and other investigation if necessary in
their judgment that the extra services were
absolutely necessary.

heother day. 1t was for Mayor and City Coun-
Gil. The Greeleyites have majority of both
branches and the Mayor. This will teach the
Republicans that if they wish to win, they
must put in nomination men who command
the confidence of the people and notthose who
are not creditable to the party. Democrats
vote for Democrats-regardless of meu, meas

SUBURBAN ExcIrEMENT.-The American says
there is a good deal Of excitement in that sub

for preventing vagrant cattle running at large
in Baltimore county. The bill expressly pro-
vides that its application should not extend
farther than Gainesville in this direction, but
it is asserted that three wealthy persons, who
propose going into the dairy business extensive
ly, are urging its extension to the city limits
This would cover nearly three thousand acres
of commons, and very seriously affect the in
terest of between two and three hundred poor
families on the outskirts of the city, who keep
one or more COWS that Craze upon the commons.

MEETING OF THE TEACHERS AssoCIATIoN--The
baltimore County School Teachers Association
;eld its regular quarterly meeting on Friday
nd Saturday of last week, at the State Nor
1al School building, Baltimore. Over 100
sachers were present at the meeting. Dr.Sam-
ell Kepler, county examiner, presided, John s.
tansbury, secretary. There were readings,
.usic, and discussions. The question "Does
,ncert reading do harm or do good 7" was de-
ated by T. A. Downs, George P. Morris, b. Sol
RS, Miss R. Prill, and j. F. Murray. Thesen.
ment generally expressed was that concert
aiding, when properly conducted, was com
endable. The subject "Can geography be
ught efficiently in school without home les
IS ?" was discussed by D. W. Hart, E. lJams,
iss Mary E. Forman, j. F. McBee, and MISS
Lowell. The general impression seemed to
70 that young children should study and be
aught only during school hours, but that after
choiars had become advanced, home study
vas advantageous. An address was made by
Prof NJ. Newell, principal OF the State Nor
nal School.
At the Saturday morning session there was
performance upon flutes, by Messrs. Wysham,

Miss Belle Purvis, an address or essay on NOR
