Motive Powers or the Future.

A suggestive paper was recently
read before the Liverpool Engineer
Ing Society on "The Utilizatibn Of the
Tides by Mr. Oates, Of Bradford M.
Oates was Of opinion that although
the coal supply Of England would last
fvr long time 70 come, yet that nisi-
iimately the power Of the tides would
|outrival all other sources Of mechanic
al power. After pointing outthat the
ways Of utilizing the tides were innn-
nierahle, and describing the cdnstruc-
ton of the tidal dam W h suitable con-
verters OF the power, such as turbines

chimes, he stated that the necessity far
arge conservatives for storing the
power between the tides would be the
greatest difficulty in utilizing their
power. A brief description OF how this
could be done aud the power rendered
constant was given The means Of
conveying the power to a distance
was then considered air and water
pressure aud electricity being slig-
gested. With regard to the latter,
Mr.. Oates believed that the "age Of
steam had reached its zenith, and
that "the age Of electricity" hid

THIS MEANS YOU,

In view CT the great Importance of the
movement in behalf of Local Option, we
desire to remind the friends of the cause
throughout the county, of the necessity
of making the convention at Elkton, on
next Tuesday, a success. The object of
that convention is one that appeals to
the best instincts of humanity, and the
friends Of local option should spare neither
labor nor pains to secure good attend
ance. To that end they should not fail
to attend the district meetings to-day
and secure, so far as may be in their
power. the attendance of all who may be
disposed to aid in the good cause, on
Tuesday next Therefore. let every one
who believes in the rightfuIness or util-
ity of Local Option consider that per-
sonal responsibility rests upon him to
do all in his power to bring this matter
to a successful issue.
The gentlemen who will address the
convention are thoroughly conversant
with the subject of Local Option in all
its various phases. and it is a duty that
the advocates of the cause owe to them,
as well as to themselves, to see that the
magnitude of the convention is commen-
surate with the Importance of the cause.

who were crcdulouS enough to accept il rs
truth. But men who knew Gen. Blistow
thoroughly could not for a moment have
believed the rumor. They have awaited
Il confirmation or contradiction of the
story, and they have not had to wait
long. This story is a lie, and Gen. Bris-
tow will vote for Gen. Garfield. as every
QUE ought to have known he would. lie
is for iIancock-not to be elected.
Now. it may be possible that Demo
Gratis conceive their Bristow story has
been helpful to their cause. 1t may be
that the astuteness for which the party
is celebrated has enabled the authors of
the false rumors which have arrayed dis
tinguished Republicans and Independents
against Gen. Garfield. to see great gain
in such libels. But to the Republican
mind the case appears wholly different.
The Bristow scandal has damaged Gen.
Hancock by thousands of votes. SO did
the Judge Swayne SANDER. SO have
other ISLANDERS. The Democrats have
filled the air with campaign lies so early
in the season that the frauds are trans
parent, and the result is general disgust.
1t is noticeable, and the people are be
ginning to note that the Democrats have
little to say i'll claiming for their party 4
character which entities it to receive
power. They rely wholly upon defama-
tions of Republicans. One after another
their calumnies drop dead, and the hope
of Hancock wanes. The bold declara-
tons Of the distinguished men they have
misrepresented are of inestimable value
to the Republican cause.
The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1880-07-31

of the character of the contest. SO i'm
Fortunate were the friends of each cantli-
date in their ovcrturcS. that men, s;enci-
ally truthful, lied on every hand to rid
themselves of the pressure. Some lied
to one side to conceal intended treach-
cry to the other: others to conceal false
promises made to the side they did not i'll
tend to support, while others again prom
ised each and lied to both. Like Il stream
that had overtiown its banks, the Demo
cratic pressure ovcrleaped the metcs and
bounds of its own party organization,
and invaded the Republican ranks. Many
Republicans were pressed to the Demo-
cratic primaries in the 3rd district, and
the absurd and irrevercnt formality of an
oath. administered amid the unseeming
levity and confusion of a party primary,
was resortcd to. as IA justification of the
unusual and unwarrantabe act. In some
instances, even delegates themselves
shared the prevailing decentralization, and
committed themselves to both sides-not
so much. probably, from actual deprav-
ity, as from a lack of moral courage to
maintain their independence under the
pressure brought to bear upon them.
AS herein already intimated, the sequel
to this exceptional. fractional fight, was
the pronounced success of the now fresh
ly augmented combination, that last fall
SO nearly .ieopardiZed the organization in
the county. That it has grown upon
what it has fed-a fixed and selfish de-
termination to control the Democratic
party i'll Cecil county to the ends and
uses of its manipulators, is Il fact which,
however unwelcome, no candid Demo
crat can deny. 1t means the introduce
ton into the Democratic family i'll Cecil
county the worst phases of personalism
in politics. The substitution of a new for
an old Ring" with the introduction of
political methods, that are not only no
improvement upon those that the project
ors of the new cabal pretend to think so
objectionable, but which, in many re-
SpeclS, are even more SuDFefSlEc OF Tie
party will.
The result on Tuesday shows that the
new Ring has grown holder by success,
and waNed stronger by reason of the
latreds which inspired it. 1t has sub
orned to its personal uses in the aggrc-
gate six districts out of nine, or about
two-tllirds Of the average representation
of the county. 1t has sedulousIy cher
ished local jealouSics and individual re-
sentiments, until, in party contest over

rent The Democrats have had power
enough to make it clear to the country
what they would do if they had more;
and the .jobbery, the partisan malignity,
the difference to public business, and the
hostility to a free and pure ballot which
they have manifested, constitute an i'm
preSsive lesson as to the mischief they
would do if they could. For these
reasons. and others that might be named
we look to see very large Republican
vote polied. The Democratic majority
in the House is so slight, and so many OF
the Democratic members represent con-
stituencies which on full vote would be
Republican, that it ought not to be a very
difficult thing to reverse the relations of
the parties, and secure good working
Republican majority in the House.

THE NEXT CONGRESS.

One Of our exchanges has been at the
pains to go over the list of members of
the present House of Representatives.
with view to determining the close dis
tricts: and its examination discloses the
rather remarkable fact that sixty-seven
Republican seats and forty-eight Demo-
cratic in the present House are held by
pluralities or by small maiorties. We
have not compared these figures in detail
with the election statistics in the political
almanacs, but we may safely assume them
to be substantially correct. They serve,
at all events, to show the work which
needs to be done in the pending campaign
in strengthening the Republican hold
upon districts where the Republican ma
iority is now small and i'll wrestling from
the Democrats districts which they hold
by virtue only of Il few score votes. Most
of these close districts are. of course. in
the North-for the Democrats have con-
trived to get everything i'll their own
hands in the South, and, in some of the
districts most completely terrorized have
wiped out the entire Republican vote.
But there are three districts in Kentucky
seven in Missouri, one in Florida. two in
North Carolina, and one each in Tenncs-
see, Virginia and West Virginia which
the Democrats hold by pluralities, and in
the Ninth Georgia District the Demo-
cratic member had only 225 majority
There are five Ohio districts and four in
Pennsylvania where the Democratic can
didates were elected by pluralitics. These
are districts which must be redeemed in
the approaching election, and placed de
finitely and unequivocally in the Repub-
lican column.
But in the pending campaign we cx-
pect Republican strength to be swollen
by the general influences which operate
commonly in Presidential years, and by
special and rarely equaled enthusiasm.
There is no disaffection in the party ranks
but all sections and all shades of opinion
are united in the active support of the |
candidates nominated at Chicago. AS /

SUSPICIOUS BOASTS.

The Democratic papers are Boosting
over the fact that Peter Cooper and Sam.
Cary, the Greenback candidates in 1916,
are solid " for Hancock. If they are
in favor of him, it is because they have
reason to suppose that Hancock is i'll
favor of their principles, and that their
cause would be advanced by his election.
AS Gen. Hancock has had nothing to do
with political affairs and his views upon
political questions are. to very large
extent, an unknown quantity, we can
arrive at his position only by Inference.
But it is a fair inference that Grcenback-
ers know what they are about when they
grow enthusiastic over Hancock and
abandon their own party to give him sup
port. They certainly would not do it if
his position was one of pronounced an
tagonism to their views. They would
not be likely to do it unless they had
some assurance which satisfied them that
he was friendly to them. In Maine the

We are content to have this issue clear

leaves 10 matter of doubt where he
stands upon the question Of national
honesty and Il sound currency. He has
been steadiast in the advocacy OF Just
principles when scores Of able leaders in
his section were swept away by the cur
rent of popular error. There is no I'M

question. He is to-day the foremost re-
preventative Of the policy by means
of which the Republican party has kept
faith with the nations creditors. made
enormous reductions in the debt and the
interest account, and brought the conn
