If the Democratic party desires to come to full
and complete ascendancy in the control Of nation
al affairs it must change its course-a thing al
most as impossible as for the leopard to change
his spots. 1t can only have existence as an or
ganization whose influence extends just far enough
to keep the opposite party on its good behavior,
unless it can show the people something better at
its hands than it has practicei, wherever it has
been in power for the last fifteen years.
In New Hampshire the Republicans had been
carrying the State SO long that they began to
think it could be done without voting. They re-
manned at home and the Demoerats-the first
time for nineteen years-carried the State. They
legislated even the Republican judges out of Office
and filled their places with Democrats.
In Connecticut they carry the State simply by
the Indifference of the Republicans and they elect
to the United States Sena Mr.. Eaton, who is a
Bourban Democrat of the secession school
In Ohio and Indiana they raise numter of
false issues and get themselves into power-and
| in Ohio leave their great man Thurman stranded
high anddry. The country should become alarm
ed at the success made in these States. Why Be-
cause the Democrats that have succeeded there
are in favor of policy that is calculated TO bring
ruin and disaster to all classes of the community
fput into the shape of national policy.
In Louisiana this same party has shown such
desperation of purpose as to alarm all good citi-
zens. By secret organization it overthrow a
State government in twenty-four hours. Its pol
icy is rule or ruin-complete anarchy.
The platforms and declarations of principles
that have been put forth by their conventions all
over the country demonstrate TO every intelligent
man that they have no Jfred principles except
perhaps the principle of getting into power by
any means that promises to bring that consum
nation by them devoutly wished. Its conduct
convinces the country that it has no definite pol
icy upon any subject. While it is noisy and
rampant on the Credit Mobilier it deliberately
| dominates Fernando Wood for Speaker Of the
| House of Representatives and supports him for
| that position by every vote it had in the House
except two. A great many people, we have no
doubt, believe there is too much truth in the as
sertion of its last distinguished candidate for
| President, Horace Greeley, who said the chief
creed of the Democratic party is Glove rum and
hate niggers."
| In Maryland it assemblies in the halls Of legis-
lation and demonstrates its significant incapacity
by passing series of bills which the courts are
deciding unconstitutional, or that they are too
uniutelligible to be executed, or so loose and
meaningless in their phraseology as to be inoper-
alive. Itgives the Comptroller 81, 500 per annum
extra compensation TO pay his travelling ex-
penses "and appropriates $25, 900 for the purpose
of sending the 9Th Regiment 10 Long Branch and
| Cape May to lounge among the rich gentry of the
country.

~ Massachusetts for the first time in IF
teen or twenty years arrays herself on the
Democratic side by 5000 majority. Alabama
Arkansas, Georgia, Tennessee, Louisiana, New
York, Delaware, Virginia, Missouri form a
Democratic phalanx. Pennsylvania, Rhode
Island, Vermont, Michigan, Minnesota, Kan.
sas, Illinois and Wisconsin give small Repub-
lican majorities. New York elects her Gov
ernor by about thirty thousand majority. She
elects also a majority of the Legislature which
will elect Senator to succeed Fenton. We
lose fourteen Congressman in that Stat and six
in Massachusetts. The field has been swept
by our foes. But we have lost no faith in the
justice of the Republican cause or in its ulti-
mate success. We assert with full confidence
in the integrity of the American people that
they do not intend to undo any thing the Re-
publican party has done, And if the Demo
cratic gentlemen who have been elected to the
forty fourth Congress wish to be returned they
must live squarely up to every measure and
law and policy according to the Republican
idea. Democratic Congressman cannot retain
their seats unless thatbpdy lives up to the full
execution of the Republican sentiment. All Of
the amendments must be respected and kept
in good faith. All the laws made in pursu
ance of them must be rgidly obeyed. The
policies of the Republican party must be kept
in full flow. Unless the Republican idea is
executed the people will invite these gentlemen
to retire aud put others in their places.

DEATH OF AN EMINENT MARYLAEDER.-Wil-
liam H. Rinehart the eminent Maryland sculp-
tor, died in Rome, on Wednesday last week,
in the 4Sth year of his age. Mr. Rinehart was
born in Carroll county, near Westminster. His
father was we'll -to-do farmer of German de-
scent, and the only education the young man
received was in the schools at Westminster.
When mere boy he evinced great interest
in the workings of the marble quarries that
abounded near his home, and in this particu
lar he found opportunity for active experience,
as his father had quarry and stone cutting
yard on his farm At the age ofsixteen young
Rinehart went to Baltimore and learned the
trade of stone cutter He soon mastered the
business, and having a great talent for the
fine arts, at twenty-three years Of age he went
to Florence, Italy, where he pursued his stud
les in the best schools of desiga. His career
was prosperous one and at the time of his
death he ranked among the first sculptors of
the country. He leaves a fortune estimated
at from $50 600 to $50 600, part of which he be-
dueathed to his five brothers, who still reside
in Carroll county, and the balance to be ap-
piled to the promotion of interest il and cult
walton of taste for art.

MONSTER CIDER MILL Battle Creek an en-
terprisng little city situated in the centre of the
apple district of Michigan, has just erected very
extensive establishment for packing, preserving
and drying that fruit, and for the manufacture of
cider on an elaborate scale. T buildings are
just outside OF the city, and are located with spe-
ca reference to receiving supplies and making
shipments side tracks from two railroads having
been built for their accommodation The most
interesting portion Of the establishment is the
cider mandatory, IA large building filled with
confusion of tanks, tubs, complicated machinery,
presses, boilers, engines, etc. The presses, OF
which there are three OF the largest SIZE are capa
BILE of making 400 barrels of cider day. The
apples fad their way into the mill hopper through
long bin or trough large enough TO hold TO-
GEO bushels which passes Through the side OF The
building to the street, where the frui, can be
thrown into it from the farmers wagons The
cider, rs it rickles from the presses, falls into
large vat beneath the floor thence it is carried
through pipes, by means of force pump, to sew
eral tanks in the second story, where it is again
filtered. From these rubber hose is led outside
the building to the freight cars to be loaded -
The empty barrels being placed in the cars they
are filled one at time by simply turning II stop
cock, which allows the cider to pass from the
tanks through the hose and into them. Includ
ing the boiled, tour kinds of cider are made-the
first is the simon pure juice the second is clar
fed article, and the third is compound of cider
and hops. The last kind has become very pop
ular drink for bilious persons. A fruit prestrv.
ing house four stories high, and of peculiar con-
structou, is another novelty of the establishment.
This has capacity Of 80 600 barrels and fruit
placed in it can be kept perfectly sound for three
years The walls are of solid stone 30 inches
thick, and the floor and walls are covered AID
backed up with 10 inches of sawdust, covered
with galvanized iron.

II Lesson.

The election on Tuesday Of this week was held
in twenty-three States. The result proved disas-
trous to the Republican party. The chief feature
in the contest was for the majority in the House
of Representatives. The verdict of the people
was delivered against the Republican party. The
majority of the House is made up Of the opposi.
ton to the Republicans. We have met COM
plete rout Our forces have been captured. II
our Democratic friends are jubilant because they
convince themselves that the people have elected
their candidates, because they approve the record
or the conduct of the Democratic leaders. they
are calculating upon false basis One natural
ly looks for the causes. They are not to be found
and accounted for as an endorsement of the course
and policy it has any-pursued by the Dem
ocratic party The verdict is a singing rebuke
to the Republican party for its delinquencies in
meeting the demands of the times A majority
of one hundred in the House of Representatives
saddled grave responsibility upon the party
Its lack of unity and concert on the financial
questions, its failure to unite upon definite pol.
icy on that subject until the country had become
disguised and its lacking courage to brayely de-
fend the positions assumed by the party that were
just and tenable, have contributed largely, if not
almost entirely TO the party's defeat. Then, too,
it was frightened by the clamor of newspapers
and politicians into the adoption of measures that
were neither conducive to the public welfare nor
demanded by any exigencies more than the noise
of camorons politicians. And some of its lead
ing men have been TOO t;.nd to admit things Tx:
nef had done which were neither illegal or i'm.
moral, but the denial of which excited suspicion
in the public mind that there was something
wrong. When we probe the matter to the bot
tom we have no hesitancy in saying that Repub.
lcan defeat has been invited by the lack of COM
mendable courage in the leading Republican
newspapers and representative men. The result
cannot be construed into any change of sentiment
in the minds OF the people upon Republican ideas,
measures and laws. The rebuke has been dealt
at men and not at principles-at lis qubbling,
cowardly course and not at its bold, courageous
measures that stand out as the most prominent
features in the history of the nineteenth century.
The defeat of the Republican candidates has been
secureu oy hepuencan Votes. ana tnls proves
the high character Of the rank and file of the par
ty. The Republican party cannot be driven or
led by the crack of the party's whip. They
chose to deal a rebuke to the party BY the eec-
tion of candidates of the opposite party. The
lesson is good one. We take it the party will
learn something BY the operation. 1t is wiser
now than it was month ago. 1t will be much
wiser one or two years hence than it is now

rs We have been completely vanquished
in Maryland. The Democrats elect full Del
egaton to Congress. The result is not due en-
tirely to Democratic votes. If Republicans do
not think it worth while to turn out to vote for
their candidates they should not complain Of
being misrepresented by Democrat in Con
gress And if Republicans can forgive them
selves or find any excuse for voting against
the Republican party we trust they will have
learned different lesson and fEd an excuse
for voting their sentiments by the next cleo
ton. Persons may convince themselves that
there is patriotic duty in such conduct but
how they can consistently vote to have them
selves aisrepresented in the law making pow
er of the nation is a matter which we confess
our inability TO explain or comprehend. Yet
it is notorious fact that the route of the party
in Maryland has been largely due to the votes
of Republicans. In certain localities there
were large accessions to our vote from the 9th
er side. There were numbers Of Democrats
everywhere that cast their ballots for the Re-
publican candidates.
In the 5th District Baltimore city furnished
able bodied voters enough to the 18th Ward
and Anne Arundel county to bring victory to
Henkle and defeat to Mr.. Hagner. The "dead"
men on the lists cast very large portion of
the Democratic majorities. And we suppose
under the auspices of Democratic justice they
will continue to rise from their collins once a
year to perform patriotic duty with Jackson
and Liberty"

We look for rusty ROSTERS to be pulled out Of
their dusty places in the offices of our Demo
cratic opponents, where they have been hous-
ed for twelve years, and put at the head of their
columns to crow vociferously over the victo

have no doubt they will make great deal of
noise illustrative of the character of their
keepers. And we expect to be invited togo on
board their old "Salt River" beat thathas been
out of use for SO long that it is unsafe for a
voyage and calculated to founder and wreck
its passengers. 1t should be put on the stocks
and repaired before we are shipped in it. We
want to come back some time or other. We
expect to return in two years if we are sent
off in safe boat, but we object to being set

Democratic Officials.

We have no doubt that most Democrats de-
sire that their officials shall be respectable and
and faithful in the discharge of their duties.
We do not believe that all democrats endorse
the character of some of their party's ap.
pointees. police officer should be at least
orderly and law-abidng himself. If it is a
natural impossibilty for him to meet this SIM
pie requirement, we think and we fancy the
majority of respectable people agree with us
that he should be excused from police service.
On Friday night of last week Hon. Alex. B.
Hagner held an out door mass meeting at the
first toll gate on the Frederick road There
was large turn out of the people. Mr.. Hag-
ner made most excellent speech, speaking in
a respectful manner of everybody, and treat
ing all with thu utmost Difference. No one
could offer any le climate objection to any syl-
liable he uttered. IN the audience were num-
Der of boys and noisy young men who were
disposed to make some annoyance. They
would have given but little trouble to any body
if they had received encouragement from
officers Of the law whose duty it is to keep
peace and good order everywhere. The crowd
of Troublesome ones would sometimes boot and
yell for three minutes. They would set off a
pack of shooting -crackers in the midst of the
audience and create great disturbance there
by. They used their utmost endeavor to break
up the meeting, but they did not succeed. Mr..
Hagner handled them so genteelly that they
were finally shanled into a sort Of civilized
conduct. The responsibility of the whole af-
r
from another district, who took the front of the
performance and led the unruly ones. There
would have been none of it but for his encour
agement and leadership. He is one Of the first
Democrats of the 18th district.
