recognized by Europe itself. One can
see what folly it is to send one dollar to
Switzerland for goods which by her own
admission are produced both better and
cheaper on this side of the water.
The cold snap, which since l last
wrote has so depressed our mercury |
that for day or two it could hardly
hold its head up above zero, has tho
roughly impressed upon us the facts
concerning the poor and homeless OF the
city-facts which till then we had
known almost without realizing. Ac-
cording to reliable authority there are
in New York to-day between forty-tive
and fifty thousand idle working men,
nearly thrce-tourths of them skilled la
borers, very many of whom have been
so long out of work lis to have exhaust
ed every resource - savings, tools.
household furniture. everything. On
these latter and their families the bitter
winds of IL few days ago fell like Il de
vouring sword. The applicants for food
and shelter ut the police stations have
since been numbered 10y thousands, the
hospitals are ovcItiowing, and hun
drcds of able bodied men have sought
commitment to the work-hOuse and
other penal institutions in utter despair
OF being able to keep body and soul to-
gether by honest labor. The Superin-
tcndcnt of the poor reports that no such
state of things has been seen in the me
tropolis since the crisis of 1857. Almost
all the public institutions of the charac-
ter named are full already and the win
ter is still before us.

Post the Books.

Since the opening OF the present Presi,
Dental canvass four States have spoken
through the ballot box, namely, Alabama,
Arkansas, Vermont and Maine. In the
last Presidential year, 1872, these States
voted as follows Alabama gave Repub-
lican majority of 10, 1913 Arkansas 3, 146
Vermont 30,540; Maine 32,335. This
year the results in the sc foar States are
Alabama $4,000 ID emocratic majority
Arkansas 10000 Demo cratic majority
Vermont 23,5OO Republican majority
Maine $4,000 Republican majority. The
loss and gain are Alabama $4,000
Democratic gain; Arkansas $4,000 Dem
ocratic gain Vermont $500 Democratic
gain. Maine 1885 Democ ratio gain.
Republican loss, $4,000 in Alabama !;
Republican loss, $4,000 in Arkansas |;
Republican loss, $500 in Vermont; Re-
publican loss, 1886 in Maine.
1t is proper to observe that in Maine,
last year, the Democrats caught the Re-
publicans mapping and run their majority
down to 1872. But Maine and Vermont
have uniformly been Republican States
ever since the organization of the Repub-
lican party, and no one ex pected them to
go Democratic. The above figures show
that the Democrats have bundant reason
for graduation over the result in the
Presidential year, so far. Similar gains
throughout the country will elect Tilden
and Hendricks by a large majority.

That the elective franchise, the most
Important Of all privileges Of American
citizenship, docs not receive tho attention
Of which it isiworthy from the better and
more Intelligent portion Of our people we
are compelled to admit. The field Of
American politics has become so degraded
BY selfish, dishonest and designing men,
that it is scarcely longer considered re-
spectacle to be called politician. As a
consequence Of this lamentable phase Of
public opinion the selection Of our public
servants is too often entrusted to the very
worst class Of society. The result is what
any thoughtful mind would expect, incom-
potency in the public service, and dishon-
esty in the administration Of public duties.
In such crisis as this in the history Of
our country il is high time that the best
among US should become active in public
affairs, and lend their strongest efforts in
lifting our institutions from the disgrace
into which bad men have contrived to
drag them, To them we say come and
assist in elevating the standard Of Ameri-
can politics for you cannot longer neglect
so important a duty and escape just con-
domination. If you are christian man
you cannot do better for your fellows than
to make the impress Of pure life upon
the Government Of your country. For no
can long survive lack of
virtue upon the part Of those whose duty
it is to administer it. 1t is this that is
now threatening the overthrow and dis
ruption of our institutions. Against the
of the bad men now in pow
er, no less than the party whose endorse
ment they have, should you interpose with
all the means at your command. If you
continue to stand aloof you viii not only
share in the common ruin, but you will be
alike guilty with those whose evil course
has caused it. The perpetuity Of our free
institutions is in the balances, the corro-
ding canker Of corruption is gnawing at
the very vitals Of the Government and it
will require the united effort of all good
citizens to avert the impending danger.
Shall we not have it? The man who now
refuses to take part in the affairs of the
nation is unworthy the blessings of a free
government.

The Military at the Polls.

Attorney General Taft and President
Grant, with their military uknse, win not
be allowed to have things all their own
way. 1t has been fully shown that Taft's
recent order is in direct conflict with the
opinion Of VIM. M. Evarts, Attorney Gen.
eral under President johnson, and also in
conflict with the decisions Of the Supreme
Court. Senator Bayard, one of the best
lawyers in the country, sustains the same
view Of Taft's order, and advises all men
whose rights may be invaded thereby in
any manner. to hold the Federal officer
who may be the instrument Of such inya-
sion, to the strictest account in the courts,
whether be be marshal deputy, or com.
mander Of the military. If this should be
done, and it ought to be done in every
ease, the authors Of revolutionary and un-
constitutional military orders, and those
who undertake to execute them, will find
that American citizenship is not the sport
Of would-be despots and tyrants.

FOR CONGRESS,
CHARLES B. ROBERTS.
Important Documents,


On the first page wopreseut to our read
ers a scathing review Of Grants Admins
tratiOn, called forth by the 18th article of
the Republican platform, which endorses
his Administration. Let every voter read
it and see for himself what it is that the
Republican party endorses in this nth
article Of its Cincinnati enunciation Of
principles.
Senator Bayard's opinion Of Taft's rev.
dictionary order, which sets at naught
alike the constitution, the laws, and the
decisions Of the Supreme Court, is also on
the first page. Senator Bayard, who is one
oftheablestlawyers in this country declares
this infamous order to be in direct subver-
sion Of our government. When the ballot
is no longer free, our liberties are de-
stroyed, the republic becomes a military
satrapy Are the people prepared to sus-
tain these conspirators against our free
institutions?
The speech Of Hon. George w. Julian,
Of Indiana, one Of the ablest and most
eloquent Republicans 10 that State, and a
former member Of Congress, viii attract
close attention. Mr.. Julian is earnestly
advocating Tilden and Hendricks, and
shows conelusively that the hope of re-
form from the Republican party is futile.
He says Of the Grant Hayes leaders, that,
like Millions devil, they would rather rule
in hell than serve in heaven. There is no
hope forthc country if Hayes and Wheeler
are clothed with Executive functions; they
cannot rise superior to the men who NOM
mated them and who have shaped the
policy Of the present administration.
We also publish the able speech of
Hon. Thomas A. Hendricks, of Indiana,
delivered recently at Shelbyville, in that
State. Mr.. Hendricks is very popular
with our people. He visited Westminster
in 1867, and addressed mass meeting in
the grove Of Col. John X. Longwell.
The Democrats Of Carroll county cherish
a lively recollection Of him and Of his able
speech on that occasion, and frequently
recur to it since his nomination for the
Vice Presidency. The words Of Mr..
Hendricks win be gratefully received in
this region, especially by those who met
him and heard him at the time referred to.
Let these several speeches and doeu-
ments be carefully read, aud treasured in
the memory. They embrace many Of the
leading Issues Of the present canvass.
They are the emanations Of some Of the
best minds in the country, and are entire
ly reliable, having truth for their basis,
and an honest and patriotic purpose to
subserve not the interests ofparty merely,
but the best interests of the whole country.

The ratification meeting held in Monu.
ment Square, Baltimore, on Wednesday
evening, was decided success The mum
Der Of persons present was estimated at
from 10000 to 10000, large number Of
whom were from the adjoining towns and
counties. Col. Harry Mccoy called the
meeting TO order by naming Hon, F. G.
Latrobe, the Mayor, as President, with
about fifty Vice Presidents, among the
latter were some Of the oldest and mos5 in
telligent gentlemen in the State. Col. +.
x. Ward read series Of resolutions,
which called forth rounds of applause.
The President introduced us the first
speaker Hon. Montgomery Blair, who ar
raigned the Republican party for their
great waste Of the public funds, stating
that in eight years under Grant the ex-
penditures had exceeded those Of the sew
enty-one years previous.
The next speaker was Hon. Thomas
Swami, who showed that the Democratic
party was the party of Reform, and that
the Republicans were using the word re-
form to cover up their thievery and other
short comings. He showed the difference
between the appropriations voted for dur
ing the last session of Congress by Re
publican Senate aud Democratic House,
and that after hard struggle the House
succeeded in cutting them down $50, OOO,-
900.
Hon. VIM. 7. Hamilton was then in
troduced and was received with the most
enthusiastic demonstration. He spoke of
the great prostitution of all kinds of bust
ness, and the cry of the laborer aud me-
chanic for bread, and said that the only
remedy for these evils was the election of
such true and tried men as Samuel J.
Tilden aud Thomas A. Hendricks.
Jsdge VIM. NJ. Merrick closed the
meeting in one of the finest efforts he
ever made, and appealed to all to support
the nominees of the great national Dem
ocratic party.
The crowd became so great that it was
found necessary to organize another meet
ing, and several speeches were delivered
from the steps Of the Democratic Head
quarters in the johnson Building, ad-
joining Barnum's Hotel.
We will publish next week the speech
es Of Messrs. Blair and Swami. The facts
and figures given in them are unanswer-
able and are taken from the official doeu.
