yinced about 'in this connection and ''in

.'1o me-" writes one there is no gram
matical difference between in their midst
and 'in the midst Of them, both being ab-

sYet," writes another, "these phrases
are grammatically correct, exceedingly
useful, and highly idiomatie." This gem
tleman is also mistaken in every respect.
The phrases are neither correct nor useful,
and they are directly the reverse Of lido
matte. Idiomatic phrases are old phrases
growing out of the very roots Of the lam
guage, sometimes apparently incorrect, vet
always correct when profoundly examined
in the light Of philology and history.
Phrases that are truly idiomatic arc al
ways beautiful and congenial to all the
rest of the language; but phrases like Gin
our nidst'' are not only the opposite Of
idiomatic, but they have no congruity with
the genius of the language, and are the
mere inventions or clumsy devices OF

Anne Arundel County Elections.

The Homecoming Times, referring
to the late election in Anne Arundel
county and the testimony taken be-
fore the Committee on Elections,
says:
"The testimony in the Anne Arun-
del election contest is thorough ex-
posture of the shameless methods by
which the ring has perpetuated its
power in this State. In that county
not even a decent effort is made to
cover up the outrageous manner in
which ballot boxes are filled with
fraudulent ballots, and tickets cast
by Republicans distracted from the
boxes and Democratic tickets substi-
tuted therefor, until a clear Republic
can majority of hundreds is trans
formed into fraudulent Democratic
majority of thousands. AT the last
election in that county, in nearly half
the election districts, more ballots
were found in the boxes than there
are voters in the district to cast them |;
and in one district especially sixty
two Republican votes only were
found in the box when two hundred
and thirty-three Republicans came
forward and were willing to swear to
having voted that ticket. In this
connection the remark accredited to
an Anne Arundel politician who en-
joys a soft position as reward for
this kind of work, may be taken as
the quintescence of candor. He Is
reported as having cried out against
the excess of "work" required of
Anne Arundel county to keep the
State Democratic, and said that year
by year they haye been required to
increase the Democratic majority un-
til it now amounts to virtual dis
reimbursement of two-third of the Re-
publican voters. But this patriot
was proud of his sword, "and boasted
that they would persevere even if it
went to the extent of DISTINGUISHING
every Republican voter in Anne
Arundel county. That man deserves
well of his party, and will doubtless
be prominent manager before
long"

The following temperance address
Is from the report of the Howard
County Grand jury, which adjourn
ed Tuesday last:
"We directed special attention to
the existence of disorderly houses,
where the increased sale of intoXica-
ting drink has been a cause of great
complaint by neighbors and passers-
by, and discovered that the evil is
rapidly on the increase. and, in our
opinion, the time is ripe for the
adoption Of local option to save the
helpless and the young men from
drunkenness. No conscientious grand
juror can deny that drink is at the
bottom of eight-tenthS of all the crime
and disorder brought before them for
Investigation. We owe it to the ris-
ing generation, we owe it to the help
less devotee who cannot help him.
self, we owe it to the sorrowing wife
or mother, to prevent the wholesale
subjugation of body and soul by the
demon drink. In no spirit of perse-
cution do we recommend the adOp-
ton of this most salutary measure,
but in the spirit of the true friend
ship to all our fellow-men who are
afflicted with this disease"

American Newspapers in 1882.

The American Newspaper Direc-
tory, which will be issued next
month by Geo. p. Rowell & Co., OF
New York, will contain the names OF
1851 periodicals in the United States
and Territories, which is a gain OF
344 in the year just passed. The
number of daily papers has increased
in a somewhat larger proportion, and
is now represented by a total of 996
against 921 In 1881. The largest in.
crease has been in New York-1O
dailies, 20 of all sorts. Illinois and
Missouri show percentage of gain
which is even greater, while Colora-
do leads all others in the percentage
of increase, both of daily and weekly
issues. California, Nebraska, Ne.
vada, Oregon, South Carolina, Ten
nessee, Vermont, and West Virginia
have fallen behind 1881 in the total
number of periodicals issued. In
Georgia, Maine and Massachusetts
the suspensions have exactly counter.
balanced the new ventures. In every
State not mentioned above, and in
the Territories, there has been an in
crease.

One of the most astounding things
in the religious world is the extraor-
binary growth of the Methodist Epis-
copal Church since the opening of
present year. The Methodist has
been keeping careful account OF the
conversions reported by all the
churches which consent to send their
reports. Thus far 1924 of the church
es have reported that 1852 persons
have been converted since the LIST of
January. This is the more wonder
fnl in view of the fact that there are
II ,656 Methodist churches, and that
the total number ofadditions to them
during the year 1881 was only 25.-
992. If conversions and additions 60
on for the rest of this year as they
have begun, the increase will be the
most phenomenal on record The
Presbyterian Church, with its 5,598
churches, gained last year 1884 new
members, or only about five-eighths
as many as ,294 Methodist churches
have gained since New Years

Maryland Sunday-School Union.

The twenty-sixth anniversary ex-
ercises of the Maryland Sunday
School Union took place Wednesday
night of last week at First M. E..
Church, Fayette and Charles streets.
A select choir of pupils of various
Sunday-Schools accuDied the plat
form, and under direction of Prof.
John G. Robinson sang a number of
hymns. After reading of Scripture
and prayer by Rev, J. b. Stitt, the
report of the president, Mr.. G.. S.
Griffith, was read by Rev. HI. E.
johnson. The report was an earnest
argument for the increase of mission
schools in order to reach that class of
children growing up in the State
without religious influences. Par
ticular reference was made to two
schools of this character, namely, the
CauseWay Mission School, Eden
street and Eastern avenue, and the
Friends Mission School in South Bal
timore. An extract from a letter
written by Rev. John M Davis, of
Garrett county, gives an encourag-
ing view of Sunday.School work In
that county. The report further
shows that the union has employed
the services of Mr.. VIM. A Baker,
State superintendent, and three mis-
sionaries-Revs. g. E. Scott, Geo. HI.
Mock and w. G. Brown-the last
named is eolored, and labored exclu-
siyely among his own race. The sta
tistics show; Schools organized, "a /;
schools reorganized. IL; officers and
teachers received, 224; scholars, L.
822 cards. given to children to enter
schools previously established, ], 0l5 I;
families visited, 5000; union meet
ings. 43 sermons and addresses, $50 |;
conventions, IL; miles travelled by
missionaries, 6,248. Bibles, Testa-
ments, hymn books and other litera-
ture have been iudiciously distrib-
uted. The report of the treasurer,
Mr.. J. II. Kelso, Jr., shows receipts,
3,290.55; expended S3,279,29. At
the international Sunday-schoOl con-
vention in Toronto, Canada, last
June, Rev, Julius. T.. GrammeT re-
ported for Maryland, 2,O43 schools,
%, 348 teachers and 2l0,227 scholars.
