nothing but results can determine"
The following wall goes UP from
the Frederick Citizen, Democratic !:
1t is somewhat singular that Gov.
Hamilton, who has always claimed
much credit for what he has termed
devotion to the people, should be the
first one to strike at the press which
has been and is still the great public
educator of the day. Through mem
Der of the House, Mr.. Hamilton has
caused bill to be introduced, pre-
venting in future, the publication of
the laws which are passed by the
Legislature. Recognizing, as the
Governor must, that ignorance is no
excuse for not knowing the law, we
should like him or his would-be earn
est supporters to inform the people
how they are to be made familiar
with the laws of Maryland, if they
are not published through the press,
in pamphlet form o. in book form.
1t is claimed by some who are now
clamoring about reform, that the
printing of the laws costs the State
about thirty thousand dollars. The
laws cost the State of Maryland so
much square for publication just in
the same proportion as it costs far
mer to advertise his farm or his stock,
or lawyer or merchant their adver-
tisements. It is no subsidy, and the
men that dares to insinuate that the
conservative press of Maryland can
! he bought up for the paItry sum of a
few hundred dollars, deserves to have
the base insinuatiOn hurled back up
on him, as 1t will most surely be. Nc
man in Maj yland, has reason to be
more thankful to the conservative
press Of the State, than TIE present
Governor.

companies up to the requirements of

Oyster Navy, has frequently been
exposed by the AHaerscd's; it is utter

In keeping the dredgers off the pro-

lating the size and weight of the
dredge, the attachment of money
penalties to the boat in which the
offence is committed and the main
tenance of steamer to guard the
oyster grounds from piratical inva-
Sions, but which should be put in
commission only in the oyster season,
would be quite sufficient for the pro-
lection of the oyster interests. In
regard to the Land Office. Governor
Hamilton shows that the Legislature
has endeaYored to make business for
it by transferring to it some business
from the Office of the clerk of tia
Court of Appeals, but the fact re
mains that the Office is obsolete and
useless and ought to be abolished.

expenses are made the subjects OF

The sensation of the day is the an
nouncement of Democratic news
paper for Cumberland. The opposi-
ton to the would-be leaders of the
party in Allegany has chrystalized
sufficiently to take this form of ex-
preston. We wonder that it was not
long ago adopted. The Democratic
party in the county is sadly in need
of a newspaper, and we shall be glad
of the day when they will have one
that will be at least decent in the
trade at the same time that it is cred
liable to the community.
1t would seem that the opportu-
nifty for the new paper is the Ham,
ilton new departure. The Governor
has launched his boat on the waters
of reform. and his gallant boys are
ra.lying around him. Allegany
county is the home and seat of the
opposition to that power in the Dem
ocratic party which has engrafted on
cur political system score or two OF
high salaried sinecures and quartered
partisan hacks thereon Gov. Hamil-
ton, in the step taken in his message,
breaks with these people. The ques-
ton is, who will win ? Are there
enough Independent Democrats in
the legislature to unite with the Re-
publIcans and enact wholesome Leg
islation, lop off the dead limbs, save
the peoples money, and redeem the
party's pledges =? We shall see.
The new paper-the Ledder-will
be the reform Democratic organ in
Allegany county. For the present it
will he issued semi weekly. but the
management propose to shortly make
a daily. 1t is in competent hands,
and we understand well equipped fl

success in view of the fact that it has

The Democrats on the sub'commit-
tee of elections have agreed to report
in favor of unseating Washburne,
of Minnesota, and admitting Dom
nelly, who is contesting his seat.
This is acknowledged by all fair DEM
ocrats to be one of the weakest cases
with which they have to deal. Don-
nelly was defeated by at least 5000
votes. The only claim Donnelly has
lies in the fact that his admission to
a seat will give the Democrats one
majority in the Minnesota delega-
ton, and thus give the vote of the
State to the Democracy in case 1t is
needed in the Joint convention to
count the electoral vote.

Fire at Sandy.

Early Tuesday morning word was
received here that a fire Aal started
in the station at Sandy. sDd that a
heavy wind was blowing, which
rendered surroundings unsafe. SUB
sequeatly a dispatch to this effect was
received:
A fire broke out this morning in
the Decker House, and spread rapidly,

were difficult to obtain, and it was
impossible to find out definitely how
the fire originated or the amount of
damage done. The blaze is understood
to have started in the eating house OF
Charley Decker, in the southeast

rapidly, burning everything on the
east side of the track, and also at

urdsy, contains an account OF a sui
eide there on that day, from which
the following is taken:
At u 80 to-day, John Hammer
men. better known as Dutch John,"
and long known to the citizens of
Park City, committed suicide by tax
ing thirty five grains of strychnine.
He wss a native OF Switzerland, and
came TO this country in 1871, being,
we axe informed, the first miner
here. He was universally esteemed
as a good hearted, honest man, and
although he leaves no family or rela-
tives to mourn bis departure, he leaves
many friends who will miss him and
no enemies. At about II 40. the re-
port spread rapidly that Clutch
John" had just taken halt bottle of
strychnine and was lying at Greene
wald's store. Upon arriving, in
company with DR.. McFslls, we found
life extinct, though the flesh was still
warm. The body lay on the floor,
with the head thrown back, the fea-
lures pallid, and the limbs rigid in
death. He was dressed In his miners
clothes. Coroner Moore soon arrived,
and ajury being empaneled immedi-
ately, witnesses were sworn and an
investigation vas held.
J. II. Lynde testified that he was
sitting on Greenewald's stoop at
about II. 80. Dutch John passed him
ana soon returned, asking for a
knife. He had none, but someone
else handed John one, when he sat
down and opened little bottle with
the knife. He proceeded to swallow
