A THnioal Republican.

We took a trip to Emmittsburg, per
rail, last week. In the car, just opposite,
sat a portly old gentleman engaged with
another in talking politics. We paid no
special attention to the conversation, but
could not help hearing what was said.
''Talk about economy in Congress" said
the pOrtly old gentleman, sit is absurd y
tWhat the country needs is a liberal gov
ernment, one that win spend money freely
aud make times better and give people
plenty Of work" We turned to scan the
visage Of the man who uttered this SEN
tence. We saw at glance that the ami
NAL predominated over the intellectual,
and that he was probably incapable Of ex-
pressing a single original idea of his own
upon the subject. He had no doubt re-
peated, parrot-like, sentiment which he
had received at second hand, and did not
understand that the only way out of our
financial difficulties, both for the govern
ment and the people, is in a course of un-
tagging industry and rigid economy. He
is but a type of his party, which would
plunge the country further and further in
debt in order to make the times better,
forgetting that the more money Congress
expends the heavier must be the taxes and
the greater the burthens of the people.
The government has no money to expend
but that of the people, and to expend it
for any other purpose than the support Of
an economical government, is to impOyer-
ish them more and more, under the vain
delusion of giving relief. Let the people
support only Democratic Congressman, who
are pledged to the strictest economy.
The expenses Of our government ought to
be reduced fully one-half below what they
now are, and with both Houses of Congress
in the hands of the Democrats, we shall
be much mistaken if they are not so re-
dueed.

CARD.

Not long since we received a challenge
from Messrs. Geo. II. Brown and Charles Is.
Norris to debate the question, ''Do Ghosts
Appear? They not being satisfied with this.
we allowed them 10 change il thus :-ssno
supernatural beings manifest themselves 10
our senses, they claimingthe affirmative. An
agreement was then made whereby the Bible
was only to be used as authority. and TO the
absolute exclusion of Miracles By this. the
first round was argued, but on he.second. we
we're asked the question, ''DO you believe in
the Bible ~ to which we responded in the
affirmative, then they based their whole ar
gumeut upon miracles, and hayinga packed
committee, as is generally known and ex-
pressed, who knew nothing of the agreement,
decided in favor Of the affirmative. just at
the commencing Of the debate they arose be-
fore the audience, and demanded ten minutes
of US, after our closing speech, and being re-
fused It, they were unwilling to take further
part in the debate until we compromised by
granting them free choice of their men. Now
doesn't this show proxy from the very first Z?
A part of the committee even now say that
they begged the question, and that il was ar
gued unfairly.
Immediately after the decision vas given.
we expressed desire TO argue the question
agaIn-of course, 1t being understood for each
party ~ ue Oh Altlf res tsecAiNe sides. Accord
ingly we challenged them through the papers
on the question, ''Do spirits return to earth
by their own volition.n They formally ae.
cept, but claim that it is a new question, and
therefore have the privilege Of selecting their
side. Ii is really surprising that men who
claim fitly degree of intelligence, 70 resort
to such strategy that perceptibly reflects un-
fairness and extreme cOwardice. In the first
place 1t is not q new question, bnt materially
the same; the sentential structure only being
changed TO exclude the use of miracles. And
secondly, it was understood that we wished
the question again debated on our respective
sides; however, when we we're challenged they
claimed the affirmative, and we were com
PEELED to take the negative. Consistency
thou art jewell
They have won t?j the question but not
fairly, as is evident from the remark they made
too day, which inferred that they intended to
win by any means that clay in the timber
We will here say that they can appoint the
time and place, aud we viii meet them on
either statement Of the question-retaining
our previous 81 le; and then afterwards accept
the opposite aud ''clean'' them on that.

officials, though paired down to its thin

nevertheless, as appears from the case of
Postmaster Filley, of St. Louis His re-
moval, it is said, was for repeated violation
of the civil service order, "by directly aud
indirectly controlling primary meetings
and conventions, and interfering with the
rights of the people in such organizations,
and by intrigues which are directly in op-
position to the policy of the Republican
party as presented by the Missouri State

Democratic Economy Republican Extrav-
agance.

We publish to-day, on the first page, the
statement Of Hon. Joseph G. s. Blackburn,
in review Of the misrepresentation Of
Senator Window, heretofore alluded to in
these columns. Let the reader bear in
mind that the figures in this document
were taken from the official record, and
arc entirely reliable. They show that the
expenditures Of the government in ten
years, under Republican rule, from 1867
to 1876, we're greater than the expendi
tures for the entire period of 73 years
from 1889 to 1861. For the 73 years
from 1889 to 1861 the expenditures
amounted to 81 ,5O6, ,726,151.15. While
for the ten years Of Republican rule from
1867 to 1876, the expenditures amounted
to 81 ,52s, ,917 1887, thus showing an
excess Of expenditure by the Republicans
in ten years over the expenditures Of 73
years prior to 1861, of $40, 100, ,996.72.
The figures also show an expenditure for
ten years under Democratic rule, from
1852 to 1861, Of only s572, ,872, ,26O.52;
while for the ten years from 1867 TO 1876,
under Republican rule, the expenditures
were 81 ,52s, ,917, 1887. Showing an
excess Of expenditures by the Republicans
over the sum expended by the Democrats,
10 ten years, Of 1856, Oh, ,s7T.35. The
enormity Of this disparity between the two
parties almost staggers belief; and yet
these facts are taken from the official re-
cords, and cannot be denied. This state
ment further shows the savings made by
the House of Representatives, since the
Democratic party gained control of that
body, and that these savings were opposed
by Republican Senate at every step Of
their progress. We ask the reader to
weigh these facts and figures carefully, and
store them up in his memory. IF your
Republican neightor has a copy of the
Window Supplement challenge him to
lay the two documents side by side, and
read the one in the light of the other, and
it cannot fail to demonstrate the superior
administrative ability Of the Democrats
over the Republicans. Whether your
Republican neighbor has copy of Win
dom's misrepresentation or not, read the
Blackburn statement to him, and challenge
him to disproye it If he can. The fact is,
the Treasury Of the country has been lit
orally robbed by the extravaganza of the
Republican party, and when the Demo-
cratic House undertook the work of re-
trenchment, the Republicans not only OPP
posed every such measure, but raised the
false cry that the Democrats we're obstruct-
Ing the wheels Of the government. Again
we ask all cur readers to read carefully,
aud preserve for future reference the
Blackburn statement, until they commit
it to snemOry. 1t is worthy of being pre-
served.

WEsTMIxsTER,-Few towns in the State
have such frequent connection with Baltimore
as Westminster, owing to the accumulation
furnished by the Western Maryland Railroad
This fact should bring many from that city to
this place during the summer months, and
especially those who desire to reside perma-
nently in the country. Within the last few
years the limits of the town have been ex-
tendedon either side of the turnpike, and many
beautiful building lots have been placed on
the market Our gardeners supply the town
with fresh vegetables, in every way superior
to those sold in the city; several butch
ers and bakers ply the citizens with the
best of beef and bread; while the water has
no superior In point Of health and general
comfort It is not excelled by any place in the
country, and to the denizen of the city who
wishes to escape from that terrible summer
pest-the mosquitoes-Westm is a ha-
ven of rest, they never being seen or heard
here. As to churches, all denominations,
nearly, can be accommodated. Livery stables
furnish good teams with careful drivers, and
many pleasant drives present themselves to
those who wish to enjoy that amusement. In
few years these building sites will be pur-
chased, and then the opportunity will be lost.
To the capitalist who desires to retire from
the cares and yexations of busy life, who
wishes to have that repose and quiet so neces-
sary to one who has spent the greater part of
his life IN excitement and worry of stocks,
dry goods, law, medicine or the machine
shop, the beautiful hills and sloping valleys
and the hospitality Of our citizens, offer all
that could be wished for. Persons have spent
the summer here year after year, and many
linger until late in the season, leaving with
regrets that it has so soon past, but with as.
suranees that the next summer will surely see
them domiciled in our midst again. If the
same attractions were within so easy dis
tanee of Boston, New York or Philadelphia,
every hill would be dotted with a charming
villa, and hundreds upon hundreds would fill
our hotels during the heated term. Tickets
at the lowest possible rates viii be issued by
the railroad, and trains run to suit the desire
Of the patrons. A little effort on the part of
our citizens, and particularly those who own
the land or have the capital to build would
we are sure, soon increase our population.
Our mechanics, merchants and business men
generally are interested in this matter and
should make an effort looking to that end.
The salubrity of the atmosphere, it is acknowl-
edged, makes Westminster one of the most de-
sirable summer resorts within convenient dis
tance of Baltimore. People who residein dis
triots infested by malaria resort moreand more
to Westminster as an invigorating and health
inspiring summer retreat
