MARRYING TO STOP A WITNESS
MOUTH,

The prisoner charged with murder who
attempted to suppress the only witness
against him by marrying her has set many
pens at work upon the question whether
a law prohibiting the testimony of wife
against her husband is desirable. Such
schemes as that of the accused man in
Baltimore can be thwarted by simple
measure not affecting existing laws as to
the testimony of husband and wife. A
law can be passed providing that no
marriage shall be valid between man
accused of murder and witness against
him, when effected between the time of

A Tribute to The Farmer
In his address at the opening of the Wis
cousiu State Fair Gov, Rusk said:

In his address at the opening of the Wis
consin State Fair Gov. Rusk said
Agriculture is the foundation of the
business and prosperity of the Whole
country. When the toll of the farmer i,
utterly lost; When after planting and
tending and waiting. the harvest time
brings no harvest to him, every industry
and every interest instantly feels it. How
completely 4 series of crop failures. or
even of short crops, paralyZes the business
of the country! 80 4 series of good crops
stimulates every business and revivcs
every dropping industry. The railroad
lines lengthen, the rolling mills are busy,
the IRON mine. the saw mill. the lumber
camp, are all scenes of activity aud every
instrument of commerce is in use. The
hum of the machinery Is the natural ac.
compartment to the songs Of the harvest
field. The daily published Telegram from
the money centre Of the world is an un
conscious daily tribute to agriculture
and the farmer as the prime factor IN
commerce. They note and chronicle every
frost, every rain. every hostile insect. Il.
carefully as the physician The symptUIn>
of his patient. Stocks go up and down
with the varying reports as to W heat and
corn. The Wall-street gam bier who never
heard the meadow lark in the field reads
with as eager interest the news from the
grain fields as one fearing for Il friend
would read the casualties of battle.
But such tribute is temporary and cnn3-
pulsory. 1t springs from seltishneSs most
ly, and the crcp assured, indifference to
agriculture proclaims itself too often in
an undue levy upon the crop for carriage
and in other ways, which have not time
to mention. With the growth of the
country, increased prosperity and the
multiplied and splendid educational ia
ciiities our colleges, universities, acad-
emies and other institutions OF learning
are filling up with ambitious farmer
boys, vigorous in body and mind, bent
upon acquiring knowledge. This is well.
They make good students and scholars.
but | have feared that too many OF them
rather disdainfully turn from farm life
to the professions as being a step higher.
| would like to impress upon such young
men that they are mistaken in this. There
is in Il true sense no step higher, from the
calm, thoughtful. healthful. independent
life of the Intelligent farmer.'

generous share in the $1,000, 600 expend-

it seems almost incredible that they could

WoRK1NGMEN should remember that
in voting for Democratic Congressman
they are voting for free trade, and free

CECIL COUNTY has enough of working
men in it to give handsome majority
for Blair, if they will vote their honest
sentiments. He is a man in every sense
superior to his Democratic opponent, Mr..
Talbot. he having made no entangling
political alliances, and Cecil should give
him large vote on his merits as man.
The Cecil Whig., 1882-11-04

EVERY VOTE cast for Talbot is ballot
cast to help the free traders to majori-

goes the price OF iron, and down go the
iron workers wages.

EVERY VOTE given for Blair means a
ballot cast to help Cecil county's forges
to continue ringing, and her furnaces to
keep blazing. Every ballot cast for Tai

darkeu the other.

THE laboring classes in the United
States are the best paid in the world,
owing to our protective tariff. The Dem

workingmen to compete with the half

VERMONT may claim to be the banner
State of legislative temperance. She has
now stringent liquor law, but the tenn
perance people, not satisfied with that,
have got before the Legislature a consti-
tutional amendment by which the manu-
facture and sale of Intoxicating liquors,
other than cider and wine made from the
fruits of that State, are forever prohibit
ed; and providing also that the sale of
the said cider and wine shall be SO regu-
lated as to prevent drunkenness. But
even this is not enough. The Woman's
Christian Temperance Union says that
another amendment will be presented at
the earliest possible date to abolish even
the native wine and cider. We fear that
this is pulling the bonds so tight that
they will all burst.

THERE are more Republican voters
thinking for themselves to-day in Mary
land than there has been before for a
number of years, and the result on Tues
day next will verify our assertion. The
voter who thinks and acts for himself and
makes up his own ticket in his own way
fulfill the great object of the great Amer
lean republic. The man who votes a
ticket placed in his hand, or for any
other reason than that it expresses his
choice of men and principles, borders on
imbecility or else is tool. He may be
a kind husband and atfectionate father,
but he is not what we term a good citi-
zen, for good citizen manifests some
interest in republican institutions, will
do all that lies in his power to perpetuate
and perfect them. He is not going to do
any thing to aid or strengthen the Demo-
cratic party, but will seek for candidates
of his own political faith and cast his
ballot for them.

had Kelly suppressed and Tammany eliminated

on and made independent nominations Tor
sundry county and legislative Offices anu

were counted Tammany was i'll the majority,
and Kelly instead OF being killed was stlll
ahead holding in his hands the balance OF
power in the Legislature. With his balance OF
power he has kept the Legislature uDorganlzed
tor five weeks, while the people who set out to
suDpress him were waiting to learn his terms.
At this moment Kelly and Tammany have more

The world knows nothing of its greatest
men. They shun publicity as perSistently as
does the North Pole, an do their blushing and
their emission of fragrance unseen of reporters.
Now and then one Of them does, indeed get
his name into the newspapers, but it is so
carefully mlsspelled as to have the force of an
alibi. There are, however, exceptions to the
rule Occasionally the truly great have justice

SENATOR FRYE on THE TARIFF

Mr.. Frye, Of Maine, made a strong tarif
speech n the Senate yesterday, going over
with considerable thOrOughncss the arguments
urOn which the protective System rests ami re-
inforcing them with formidable array OF sta
tistics showing how many OF our principal
National Industries have grown since the pres
ent tariff was adopted in 1861. Mr.. Frye Is
protectiorist, not because the Government
needs money and can most conveniently raise 1T
at its custom houses. If we had no debt, he
avs, 10 interest To pay, no pensions to provide,
no army or navy to support, and had an over
flowing Treasury, he should still oppose free
trade and its twin sister, "tarif for revenue
only" OF these twins of Democratic paternity
he regards a revenue tariff as the worse 1t
would be more disastrous, he argues. than free
trade, for while it would leave open aud free
competition 10 all couurrie, in everything we
raise or manufacture it would increase the cost
of those We do not produce and yet must have.
Mr. Frye's defence of protection Is mainly
based upon the old ground made familiar to the
last generation by the teachings OF Henry Clay,
Horace Greeley and Henry {. Carcy-Hound
which needs ~ be gone over again for the ben
eft of the new race of voters grown to man
hood amid conflicts over political questions

Advantage over the scautily paid, poverty
