With tireIess assiduity the Demo-
crdt persists in reiterating the absurd
claim that the Democratic party has
contributed in a measure to the puri-
fication of our civil service.
In it's issue of the 22d of November,
it asserts that this has been effected
by the criticisms of Democrats ard
Independents and by the Legislation
of Democratic Congress. To what
particular acts of legislation the Lena-
ocrdt refers we cannot conjectuie as
that body was never in a positun to
pass laws Objectionable to the Re
publicans besides it is notorioe that
the Democratic congress instad OF
devoting it's interests to the business
CT law making were racingup and
down the country spendingfhe pub
lie money ferreting out alleged Re-
publican frauds and other alisdeeds,
with no appreciate result, save the
unearthing OF bevy of Democratic
thieves, and the expenditure of few
hundred thousand dollars of the peo-
pies money.
AS to Democratic criticism, that
has been bestowed with tlayish hand,
on all the great National measures
since the beginning of tie Rebellion /;
and such criticism is regarded as a
natural sequence of the moral condi-
ton of that aggregation Of sore heads.
We will answer the dosing ques-
tions in the Democrats article by
asking a question or two.
Now, then, in the opinion of the
Democrat, "can it be considered an
honor to be enrolled as a supporter of
party that will foster suth a civil
service productive of such q william
ious and murderous spirit as 70 kip
not only "the chief magistrate of the
country" but also attempt the des-
truction of the life of the Nation
itself? Can it be an honor to belong
to paTiXo 4 M le agt ffSsTHS' years s
| been the destruction of the UniOr
| first, and the consumation of the Ma
tional dishonor, in any and every
conceivable manner afterwards" /,
it an honor to be member ola party
whose every public utterance fo
twenty years, has been a hollow pre-
tense, or the fiimsiest sort of a sham
If then "such crimes are the pro
duct OF the" National Democratic
party what good may be expected
to accrue from that party's state OF
local rule ?"

"The Six Thousand"

The result of Wednesdays election
was yesterday the subject of general
comment. The election of a solidlv
Democratic City Council Is uniyer-.
sally attributed to the failure of the.
Republicans to poll more than one.
third of their full vote. The figures
conclusively prove that the Demo.
Gratis polled as large a vote as thew
ever did in municipal elections. and
two years ago when Messrs. Latrobe.
and Hooper ran against each other
for the mayoralty. the Democratic
vote was not as large as that cast on
Wednesday for the o. L. DPS and
regulars. 1t is conceded that the
election again demonstrated the
weakness of the ring. It's power
began to wane in 1879, and since that
year it has been constantly on the
| decline. Last year, though it was
the presidential year, there was a
large falling off in its majority; and
this year the city of Baltimore-the
Gibraltar of the Democracy in Marv-.
land-is saved to the ring only bv
the most extraordinary apathy and
indifference of the Republicans.
The six thousand Democrats who on
Wednesday voted for the indepen--
dent Democratic candidates, form
the nucleus of an independent organ
ization which must necessarily grow
with time. The o. l.. d. movement
has taken from the regular Democ-
racy one-fourth of its usual voting
strength, and the regulars concede,
that they would have been routed if
the Republicans had not staid at.
home. The result was so unexpected
that, after they recovered from their
surprise, they began to feel uneasy
about the "rebellious six thOusand,"
which contains an element of danger
to the ring. 1t is apparent that with
full Republican vote, the City
Council would have been very near
ly equally divided between the two
political parties, and it is intimated
that the new Democratic mayor
would not have shed many tears had
an active anti ring opposition been
secured in the two branches. 1t
seems to be almost impossible to
quench the ardor of the O. l.. DPS.
Though defeated in all their hopes,
they are not discouraged. They look
upon the vote they polled as pretty
good for a beginning, and expect to
return to the charge on November
Sth, when they hope that the Repub-
licans will come out in their
strength. If the latter will shake
off their Indifference, the ring will be
beaten with the aid of"the six II ous-
and" There will be more to fight
for at the state election than last
Wednesday, as all three organiza-
tions have tickets in the feld.-Bolto.

The Peoples Money Squandered.
Respectfully, &C.,
j. G. DUNHAM.

That model Democratic Legisla-
ture of 1880 spent some of the peo-
pies money as follows:
TWenty-three of the old employees
of the previous session returned and
TOR a few days work drew as pay
S2,25l. The law allows but seven
to return and their pay should not
amount to more than $500.
The employees of the session after
ward sworn in were paid the sums of
nearly 100000. Paid to hoist the
flag, $425. Paid carpenter, for
nothing, $3.50. Paid eight men as
folders TO do the work of two boys,
1896. Ten newspaper reporters, who
had nothing to do with the body,
$1,000. Six doorkeepers of the House
to keep two doors, about $1,000. Five
doorkeepers of the Senate to keep
one door, about 5000. The pay OF
the Senate employees was 81, 905
whilst that of the members was only
1891. For the public printing

The Hon. ]. j. Darlington.
TNe,Ds and Cbnier.1

The announcement that the Hon. J. J..
DARLINGTON, of Washington, has accepted
a professership in the Law Department of
the GEORGETOWN University will be very
gratifying to many persons in South Car
DINA, who have watched his progress dur
ing his residence at the National Capital
With deep interest. Mr.. Darlington is one
of the Judges of the Moot Co%urtconnect-
ed with The University, and Lecturer on
1.-The law of personal property, contracts,
"bills and notes, and the law on corpora
TONS" one of the most important and
difficult chairs in the University.
MI. Darlington was born III Due West,
Abbcville county. and is now only about
thirty-three years Of age. He received
his education in the well appointed acad-
] elhies Of his native village, and was grad
uated from Erskine College in 1868. AT
ter his graduation he assumed the role OF
the country schoolmaster, reading law at
! the same time, and taught with great ac-
ccptability at several places in this State
and Georgia. In 1873 he was the princi-
pal Of a ilourishins seminary in Rome.
Georgia, and a year or two later removed
! to Washington, where he completed his
legal studies in the law office Of Col.
Richard r. Merrick, the distinguished
counsel for Mr.. ridden before the Electo-
raj Commission, and was admitted to
practice after a very c%reditable examina-
ton before tho United States Supreme
Court.
Since his admission Mr.. Darlington has
devoted especial attention to Supreme
Court practice, and has built up a large
and remunerative business. He is con.
sidered one of the most successful and
capable of the younger members of the
Washington bar, and is worthy the high
/ distinction recently conferred upon him.

MILK AS AN ALIMENT. - An English
physician, DR.. Buck worth, Of the RoyaI
College of Physicians, has recently put
forth an important paper III the Prdcti'

diet, and shows the serious effect Of The
neglect Of this indispensable nutrient or
national health. His warning is most
timely in an age when so many artificial
viands tt md to destroy the appetite for ma
lures simple and normal food supply
An eminent Psychologist has pointed out
that while 'all other matters appropriated
by animals as food exist for themselves OF
for the use Of the vegetable or animal o.
which they form n constituent part, milk
is designed and prepared by nature eX.
pressly as food, and is the only material
throughout the range of organization thai
is so prepared" Pure milk in sutiicicnl
quantity is rs necessary for the body as
pure air, bat, as DR.. Bpckworth says. its
use even among those who can afford tc
buy it has so decreased even in the ruraI
districts of Great Britain as to amount al
most to a milk starvation. The minimum
quantity required for the preservation oI
health, he calculates, is five quarts pei
diem to a family Of ten, and not less than
a quart daily to each child.
