Origin of "Reformers, !"

When men are disappointed in their
political aspirations, or when they have
held positions which they have not been
able to retain, they at once become dissat-
isfed. and set about humbugging the peo-
ple. in some way or other, so that they
may be reinstated The ordinary recourse
of such malcontents is to raise the cry OF
areform," to get up "reform party, or
"peoples party" or working man
party Any adcaptaudum title will DO,
so it will take with the people and serve
the selfish purposes of these demagogues.
Some one has said that patriotism is the
refuge of scoundrels" This may be only
partially true. But it is equally true that
e.reform" is the refuge of the demagogue.
What would be thought of woman
who should take her stand upon the street
corner and proclaim aloud her virtue
Would she not at once fall under the sus-
picion of all who passed by. Is it less
natural to suspect the honesty of men who
arc continually and vOeiferOusly proclaim
ing themselves areformers" and protesting
to be prrer than their neighbOrs? Don t
understand US to say that there are no
honest reformers. There are many such;
but they are those who make The least
noise about it, and prove their faith by
their works.

Senator Davis, il Is believed, viii not

A Terrible Storm in Europe.

A severe hurricane prevailed in England,
ireland and Scotland on Friday Of last week,
aud extended 70 the Continent Dispatches
from London, October II, say that one han-
dred and thirty British and foreign vessels
we're wrecked last week, being an increase Of
one hundred and four oFeE the previous week.
The approximate value OF the property lost is
$40, OOO, GOO, OF which the sum Of $50, 0OO, 900
represents the British losses Eighty Eve
vessels, principally British, we're lost of the
coast Of the United Kingdom during the re-
cent gale. against only twenty wrecks in the
early part of the week ia all parts Of the
world. 1888 persons we're reported lost or
missing. Accounts received subsequent to
the compilation of these statistics state that
down 10 last evening 50 fishermen belonging
to Bournemouth and Eyemouth were known
TO have been drowned, and that 40 others,
belonging to both places are missing.
Great damage and loss of life throughout
Germany resulted from the late gale. The
river Elbv rose twelve feet above ats normal
level, and is covered with wreckage. Sever
al vessels were stranded at Altoona The loss
of petroleum is enormous. Five German
vessels were wrecked at Bremen, and some
members OF their crews were drowned.
LONDON, Oct. lS.-It is estimated that
As, go tons of produce, including 20, 466 tons
of coal, were lost at sea during the recent
gale. A majority of the wrecked vessels we're
Golfers, but the general produce, as well as
building materials, petroleum, herrings, tar
and oil cake lost aggregate 1881 tons. The
balance Of the losses consisted OF salt iron
and timber.

The nston Thief Cry Of Ring ;.

That any man of intelligence, whose
political utilization is the result of clear
understanding and appreciation Of Priaei-
PIES. should be affected by the dema-
gogue-cry of ''ring rule, is matter OF
surprise. There never was e party with
out leaders, aud these leading men are
sure to have their envious opponents who
want to be leaders also If they are not
erati6cd, they s;raightway raise the cry OF
Aring, in order 80 supplaut them and take
their places. This is a common thing
among active pariisans. But the cool
headed man Of intelligence, who IS above
such influences, uncontrolled either BY
gassioa or prejudice, ought to be able to
put = proper estimate upon these tricks Of
the political arena, aud hold them, in his
estimation, only at their real worth.
What is that worth? Very little indeed.
In great majority Of instances, it Is the
isstop thief cry Of the thief himself. The
man who shouts ''ring" tho loBdest is the
very man whose purpose is to form ring
of his own.

officers of the Legislature.

One of the reckless charges made at the
Maryland Institute meeting against the
last Legislature, was that it "did nothing"
towards carrying out the platform of the
party for the reduction of public expeudi-
lures. As was shown last week, in these
columns, it did great deal, and aimed to
do much more. On the End of March,
Hon. Herman Stump, President of the
Senate, asked leave to introduce bill
limiting the number of employees of the
Senate and House to 80, and prescribing
their compensation. This measure was
pronounced by Gov. Hamilton well con-
sidered bill. On March 20, page $50

ate by yeas and nays as follows

notice, Messrs. Editors, that you omitted
from the list of new bridges, mentioned ia
your last issue, the bridge between Frizells-
burg and Uniontown, constructed by Messrs.
Myerly & Fleage. This bridge is an i'm
portant one, and is an admirable piece of
work, rejecting great credit upon the build
ers. The fording at that point was very
disagreeable and dangerous one in the winter
season, and the wonder is that bridge was
not constructed there sooner. We learn that
the Commissioners are about TO build new
bridge also over Bear Branch, at Mayberry,
another very important point. Yours truly,

this connection we append the following
The Cecil Wing, whose editor, Mr.. Torbert,
was prominent member Of the Cambridge
convention, says that the election of Hon. j.
A. J. Creswell as president of the convention
means something more than mere eompli-
menting a distinguished Republican. 1t
means that the late leaders of the Republican
party in Maryland shall be relegated to pri-
waite life, and that the control of the party
shall be placed ia other hands.

MEssRs. EDIToRs In the Sentinel Of DC
tober 10, notice political biography of
Peter L. Ritter, one OF the Republican can
didates for County Commissioner. The Sea-
tiael has been imposed upon in regard to Mr..
Ritter's political record. 1t says "Mr Ritter
was jackson Democrat up to $780, The
first information known Of Mr.. Ritter politi-
cal record was in the fall of 1856, when he
was q candidate for the House of Delegates,
but his district turned him down. When his
name was proposed to the delegates, his
father being one of them, they unanimously
turned him down. The next we heard of him
was that he was working for the Know Moth
ing party and voted the ticket that fall. In
the Presidential campaign in 1858 he voted
for Mr. Fillmore, and in 1860 he voted for
Mr.. Bell. From the day Mr.. Ritter was
turned down in his own district, by his father,
where all his family we're raised, he has stead
lily worked and voted against the Democratic
party and after lapse of twenty six years
he has succeeded in getting what he left the
Democratic party fora nomination, This
time he will find himself turned down by the
people of Carroll, instead of by one district.
