The way the eastern shore politicians
abuse each other about now IS curious to
behold. So venerable and staid man as
the editor of the Denton Union even has
things like this in its editorial columns
I'VE here and now in the most solemn and
deliberate manner, with all the import that
meaning or language can convey, denoance
him as a ,ciiifm and deliberate liar and a base
slnHcrsr. We have nailed the lie and
fastened it so close to him that it will stick
as tight as the shirt Nemesis, and it ought
to 30 burn and blister his conscience, (t he
has any that he will never forget it for Il
moment in the future" Brother Emerson
belongs to church too, we believe !-Penln
S4ldr NelCS.
Well, what if he does belong to church
can't a church member call spade spade
if he knows il is a spade? 1t strikes u
that we have heard persons who are ready
to make thrust at the church use heavier
epithets against the rebels and bloated bond
holders than has this offending church
member.
\ number of Baltimore steamboat owner;
we're last week required to pay fines of S2t
for having the names of their boats painted
on the sterns differently from the require
ments of the law Recently the Treasury
Department issued a circular to the etfec
that a section of law passed in 1892 is t
be enforced. This section requires tina
names Of vessels must be of white letters OF
black ground. About al the steamboat
on the Chesapeake have since they wer
built hal their names in black letters oil
the white. coat with which the vessels ar
painted, natural and seemingly more at
tractive way. The steamboat men did no
know that such a law existed until the
were brought to book at the custom house
The MARYLAND Steamboat Company had I
nav 500 for its five boats, besides which til
Gs5rycanna and other boats were mulctec
Appeals were made TO Washington. 1t
thought that mos. of the vessels afloat hay
their names painted different from III
manner required by the law of the pa
