As efficient party workers, they had out

the present condition of political Senti
ment i'll the State clearly indicates to mel
even of less political shrewdness than
the Ring managers that the time has
come TO dispense with every dead we Sht
in the contest for the maintenance o
their supremacy in Maryland. The Ring
managers are not novices i'll politics.
They know how to get the most out o
every situation. a lesson that Governor
Hamilton has apparently not learned, s
far at least as he has given any indica
ton of it in his supposed contests witt
the old managers of his party.

Grant had been Of the opinion that the
sentence of the court-martial was a inst

aron the solicitation Of Gen. Porter, he
se,,d all the testimony before the court
martial as well as the orders and reports
Oh 'hc Confederate officers who were in

placed the facts in very different light

served each day at noon in the woods

Beneath its radiant fingers.

Sweet voices softly calling
Lead us where, like gorgeous plumes
The autumn leaves are falling.
And whispering breezes softly sigh

And evenings warm and tender

Some ss+EsIic spell seems stealing
An after mail Summer sheen

In measures faint and fleeling.

Church Mortgages.

The article below, taken from an ex-
change, will give some idea in what
light church debts are held. The minis
ter Is rough on church mortgages, but
it will be generally conceded that he
is right:
a presiding elder of the Methodist
Church was called to Grand Rapids to
dedicate i new church. lie made some
inquiries and went away without ded
eating the church, because it was mort
gagged clear up to the steeplc. he said
he promised God not 10 dedicate any
more due bills, mechanics liens or
mortgages. and with Gods help he
would see the church further before he
would get in his pcdicatoFy work on it
until it was paid for. The presiding
elder is correct The dedication oil
churches is TOO often a canonization of
a 10 per cent. mortgage, and making
the holder of mortgage he,dairy
maid to milk the congregation semi
annually of interest, til they starve the
pastor. Millions Of women worthy of
better fate wear out their lives freezing
ice cream and cooking rubber oysters
for festivals to raise money 10 pay in
terest on the church debt to some skin
flint who never had Christian sent-
ment unless he was drunk"
