A STRONG feeling of luminosity is
growing up between Russia and Ger
many, and there are politicians and
journalists on both sides who make no
secret of their wish for trial of strength
between the two countries. Germany is
certainly taking precautions that seem
to provide for the worst. Ten thousand
workmen are laboring ON the 5ortifica-
tons of the fortress of Thorn, which is
called the Strasburg of Germany's east
ern border. The fortress Of POsen has
also been immensely strengthened and
enlarged, and can now accommodate D
large army. A considerable part of tire
indemnity payments made by France
has been expended upon these fortifica-
tons and in furnishing them with enOr-
NOUS stores of provisions and ammuni-
ton.

THE MODERN HAMLET'S SOLILOQUY

To be or not to be, that is the question =
Whether It's best for ones prosperity to suffer
The stern commands Of office
0rreceve ones discharge by the voice of the people
And by becoming honest make an end of it,
To work, to write:-
No more and by write, to say we get
The heart disease and the thousand natural jars
That the Clerkship is noted for,-tis consumma-
ton
Deyoutly to be wish'd. To work,-to write:-
To work, perchance the pay cut down :-ay there's
the rub,
For after the reduction, what dreams may come
When the auditors report says
We shufied thousand dollars down our
pockets
Then plead the act of limitation,
Must make us reflect its ID hard
For who would bear the decrease of pay the drills
of time,
The School Commissioners wrongs, the proud
Clerks contumely,
The pangs of happier days, the delays of appro-
priatiOns,
The poisonous atmosphere of Office and the spurns
Thatpatent merit of the unworthy messenger takes
When he himself might his quietus make
With a discharge, who would these fardels bear,
To grunt and sweat, under an unbecoming office,
But the dread of something after discharge,
The undiscovered departments, from whose rule
No traveller can oast,-puzzles the will
And makes us rather bear those ills we have
Then fly to other departments that are just bad.
Thus the dread of empty pockets does make cow
ards of US all,
And thus the native hue of resolution
Is sicklied Ger with the school report
And enterprises of great pith and moment
With this regard their warrant turns awry
And lose the name of action. w. III. c..

MEETING OF THE TAXPAYERS AND
TEMPERANCE COMMITTEES.

The Executive Committees of the Tax-Payers
and the Temperance conventions of Baltimore
county met at Temperance Temple, Baltimore, on
Thursday, to fill up the vacancies on their Citizens
Non Partizan Ticket. The nomination of Col. D.
q. Mcintosh for States Attorney was revoked, as
it was understood he had discaimed the accept
ance of nomination by the Taxpayers. The
vacancy was not filled. Dan'l Shamberger, of the
9Th district was nominated for Register of Wills
and accepted vice r. Ii. Woolen declined. The
ticket was then adopted unanimously and com
mittees appointed for vigorous campaign, and
an address to the voters of the county adopted
Arrangements will be made Immediately for mass
meetings in every district. The meeting was very
enthusiastic and the expressions of all present
were that the ticket was of success as against
both tickets.
The Executive Committee named by the Tenn
perance men were &. II. Duncan, S. NJ. Anderson,
l.. r. Wooden, VIM. Roussey, G. II. Stone, ]. l..
Benson, DR.. j. II. Jarrett and G.. Pilsch. By the
Taxpayers, Charles T. Cockey, G. w. thurman,
Pleasant Hunter, ThOs. B. Todd, j. B. Slade, Thos
Craddock, Thos. Biddison and Jas. E. Hooper.
The completed ticket will be found at the head
of our columns.
At the meeting was one of the oldest and most
honored members of the Democratic party, Peter
Fowble, Esq, and the committee unanimously
adopted the following resolution: "That this COM
mittee being about to adjourn after having finished
its work, that it places record the qualification
of its members at the presence of and active as
sistance at its sessions of that venerable citizen
and patriot, Peter Fowble, now nearly in his goth
year, and that they see in the interest taken in
our movement by such citizens an earnest of sue
cess"
The committee adjourned to meet next Wednes-
day, at 10 o'clock, to meet the candidates and the
finance committees of all the districts.

THE TICKET.

The Citizens Non Partizan ticket is now full,
with the exception of the place for States Attor-
ney, Col D. G. Mcintosh having been Withdrawn,
which leaves that place vacant. Dan'l Shamber-
GER of the 9Th dist, has been substituted for Reg
lister of Wills in the place of Richard H. Woollen,
who declined. We now place the ticket at the
head of our columns, confident of its triumphant
election by the people on November 4th.
We regret as much any one the distasteful
circumstances that have harrassed the reduction
of things to one ticket. We made the best use Of
our columns our humble ability afforded to prevent
the catastrophe of Republican nomination, but
failed in persuading the convention to our own
way of thinking. We have exhibited our consist
ency in our course, at the risk of mourning per-
sOnal dislikes, by appealing to the Republicans to
retract what we deemed an unwise action by re-
firing from the field and giving the people, ire
spectre Of party affiliations, an opportunity to de-
molish the "ring' and place in power gentlemen
whose object will be to advance the public veal
and not to build up private fortune.
The rectitude of our position has been abund-
antly evidenced by the sentiment of the people in
putting non-partizan ticket before the voters and
the withdrawal of sufficient number of the Re-
publican candidates as will no doubt induce those
of their associates who remain to join with them
in their destinations in a few days. In retiring
from a party candidacy to advance the public well
fare they have exhibited patriotic spirit that is
commendable and praisewOrthy in the highest de-
gree, and we doubt not that they will receive as
they deserve the plaudits of the people of this
grand old county.

JOHN I. UkAHAN, oecTeLaTy.
BALTIMORE COUNTY, October 1, 1879.

NS-In his speech in the Monument Square
meeting in Baltimore few nights ago Hon. VIM.
T. Hamilton told this unpleasant truth: "There
will always be discomfort among the people when
they see officials receiving higher salaries than
paid for similar work by private individuals, or
when taxes go to the support of sinecures." The
only way to secure a change in Baltimore county
is to vote against the "rng" ticket. Is there any
Justice in a man receiving $4,000 year of the
peoples hard earned money as salary for the dis
charge Of the duties of an Office the business Of
which he knows no more about than a Hindoo
would? Is there any justice inpaying subordinates
ST 500 and more for working seven hours day
when they could not make the half of it if left to
themselves and worked the full twelve hours p
These are the burdens which taxpayers must con-
tinue to bear unless they take the bull by the
horns NOW!

Nsfs~ 1t is stated that about ninety Virginia ne
groes from the waterworks have been registered
at Towsontown in the interest of the opponents
of the Democratic party. Most of them,
it is said, are voters in Washington or Vir-
ginia and have been in this State but few months.
-Balto. EUening Ne,es, Tuesday.
That the colored men from the water works,
who were registered in Towsontown on Monday,
"have been in this State but few months" is a
downright falsehood Ecery man who was reg
istered has been in Baltimore county from eighteen
months to three years. and this fact can be easily
proven if the proof is necessary. So incensed
were some of the ringites at these men being reg
istered that they now propose, if possible to have
them discharged from the works. In this dirty
business they will certainly fail, as the contrac-
tor who employs most of the men is an honorable
gentleman Democrat of principle, which is
more than can be said Of some of them.

A WORD OR TWO TO DEMOCRATIC
VOTERS.

Do you propose to vote for the candidates select
ed by the convention, and why?
Did the members Of that convention faithfully
represent you?
Were they the men who would have controlled
it if you had had the selection of them?
Were the interests of the county and the welfare
of the community the prevailing motives in their
selection of candidates?
Did they or not select man or men whom they
wish you to cntrust with the handling of the pub
lie moneys whom you haoc has not handled them
honestly heretofore and whom you knoU you would
not trust in private transaction with yourself in
volving any serious amount of money?
Did you not know that the proper use of the
elective franchise is your most sacred obligation
as a citizen?
That its proper discharge involves the ultimate
success Of your business or profession?
That the welfare of your family and the out
come of your children and your chldren's children
continuous rigidly virtuous use?
Dc you propose to do under the party lash, at
the bidding of party convention, in respect to
the welfare of the county, chich yOu knoo yOu haze
an charge, that which, if you did it, in the matter
of aprvate trust would disgrace and ostracze you
Do you not know that the Democratic party
must be strong in every element of strength for
the great fight of 1880? That to be strong it must
be pure! That to be pure it must be purged of
every base element, defeated in every unworthy
movement, its fathless candidates crushed at every
election, that nothing in it, of it, or about it
may pointed at as unworthy of public confidence.

THE TRAMP.

A vision came, as wearied lay
Beneath tree at close of summer day.
Twas of tramping candidate
Pushing along at furious rate,
Calling the farmer off from his work,
Seeking vote for the needy Clerk,
With GLOW is your wife and how do goa do?
Friend of my soul, I'm glad to see you"
Greeting the mother with courtly grace,
Kissing the babe with its dirty face,
Unlocking the door to the parents heart,
Saying the children are pretty and smart.
Promising schools upon every hill
A trustees place the husband shall FILL
Telling the voters for whom he went
He never pocketed cent per cent.
He was as pure the babe unborn,
The Bacon he fattened ate up the corn.
Never had asked that he should be heard
When he would listen said not n word.
These were lies made up by his foes,
The party he led had no Ring in its nose.
Then in my vision he put out of sight,
Excusing the wrong and condemning the ri -.
But when aroused at the setting of sun
The votes were all counted and Harry had won.
