The Democratic advocate. [volume] (Westminster, Md.) 1865-1972, 1874-10-03

Westminster during the past week has been
full Of as precious set Of rascals as ever was
seen in the lowest dens of iniquity in the
large cities. Sweat cloth, three card monte.
the little joker, tbimble rig, and numerous
other games were played whenever an oppor.
tunity presented. We heard Of one gentle.
man who lost $50 at three-card monte, and Of
another who wanted whip so badly that he
invested S25 and-lost. We have cautioned
our readers time and again about the winning
ways Of these scamps, but we suppose "the
proof Of the padding is in chawing the bag. y
After trying Il once, they won't bite again.
Several gentlemen of Westminster were broken
on the wheel of fortune. Thursday was a
good day for them. One man lost 500 at
monte and another $50 in buying whips.

THE SALARY QUESTION.

The House yesterday passed the salary
bill as it came from the Senate, going
back, so far as members Of Congress are
concerned, to the old compensation. This
Is graceful submission upon the part of the
House tc public opinion and the wishes Of
their constituents, and the only cause of
regret about the whole matter is that it was
not done long ago. A great and grave mis-
lake was made in the passage of the bill;
not that members Of Congress are not en-
titled to the compensation that they claimed,
Or that they did not have the clear constitu-
sional right to do what they did; but the
time was inopportune. The people were
sorely pinched for money; the working
man. the farmer, the merchant, the manu-
fscturer and the professional man alike felt
the stringency in the money market. Con-
oressmcn felt il also, and it was the most
natural thing in the world that they should
eor thAmselves have sought the relief where
thev did seek Il. A thousand Arguments
vere ready at their hands; but the trouble
v.s the country could not put itself in their
mace, and hence the universal voice Of con-
domination with which = was greeted.
The newspaper press has been blamed for
what honorable gentlemen have termed the
.sc,.mor" aeaiust IT, This Is mistake.
The newspapers only followed the public
n the matter; only followed and echoed
The nnblic voice. So far from leading. the
