A Maryland View OF the Case,

Baltimore sun.
According to the Lancaster Pa.
INTELLIGENCER, it requires large and
miscellaneous outfit to properly equip the
General Assembly of that state for the
serious duties of legislation. Among the
articles furnished to the "Legisature and
department at Harrisburg for the pres
cut winter are enumerated -Four tons of
soap, 600 brooms and as many more scruh
brushes, $50 pals, $50 dust brushes aud
1SO feather dustcrs," besides backing aud
shoe brushes, nail brushes. combs, hair
tonics and shaving mugs. This is not bad
for state Legislature, but members Of
Congress fare even better, an examination
of the expenditures in the House of Rep
resentatives at Washington showing that
such articles as perfumery cases, fans.
tOothpicks, cologne, card cases, haraker-
chief boxes, opera glasses, shaving cases
and the like arc regarded rs among the
perquisites of national legislators. Our
own representatives at Annapolis, not
believing in the paternal sort Of govern
ment which furnishes legislators with
toOthhrushes and tine-tOoth combs, have
not hitherto looked to the state for the
supply of such articles, but there are one
or two little items, such as tho $50 or $40
worth of stamps, $25 worth stationery and
the $50 apiece to members Of the cngrcss ).
ing committee, which might be consid-
erably lessencd. Soap, it will be observed,
forms 4 prominent item in the Pennsylva-
mia account, and no one will object to the
liberal use Of this article by legislators,
state or national but, though good deal
is charged to brushes, nothing is said of
an artical largely used by all legislative
wlitewash-an we are inclined to
think that this favoritc and important aid
to legislation is concealed under the soap
and cologne account.

a Dwelling House Badly Damaged.
Last evening, between 8 and o'clock,
tho house of Calvin Tshudy, in the village
Of Springville, Mt. Joy township, was par
cupied by Mr.. L. Tshudy and family.
About o'clock one Of the girls had occa-

raging in a closet where the clothing was
kept. She gave the alarm and
after great deal of work, with
water, which was carried in buckets
the fire was oxtinguished, but not until
the roof had been burned from the house
and the whole Of the upper story damaged.
All the clothing in the closet was burned
and one of the ladies alone lost $3.50 worth.
The building was insured. How the fire
originated no one knows,

The grounding, it appears, posscssc;
more accomplishments than even his
warmest admirers have given him credit
for. Our poet laureate wrote the other
day:
Tho Ground-hos cannot climb Il tree
and here comes communication from
zone Who Knows" in which it is stated
that tho grounding does frequently climb
tree when pressed by dogs and has no
hole to run into. We are glad to hear it,
and shall not be much surprised to hear,
on equally reliable authority, that he
"Can run Il primary election.
And keep the smallpox in subjection.'
We are panied to read in our esteemed
contemporary, the Examiner, that the
grounding has missed something. 1t
says eve did intend serving up the
ground-hog to-day in some sort of style,
but desist because our contemporary, the
INTELL1GENCER has put him ON the public
table, garnished in home e-made poetry"

Mr.. HENRY WATTERsoN, popularity
and properly regarded rs Mr.. Tilden s
next and best friend, announces that
our Uncle Samuel is as brisk and cheer
full as cricket, necessarily busy and
getting richer every day, but "could
not be induced to accept any nomination
or public place whatever his person
he has reserved to his declining years,
which he proposes to enjoy with his
friends, his books and his pictures,
of which he is fond - "under
no circumstances, could he he in
duced again to enter, personally, into
the struggles of political life.'' Although
We have observed no vociferous demand
upon Mr.. Tilden to re-enter political life,
Mr.. Walterson's announcement ought to
be taken in good faith as quietus upon
all talk about renominating Mr.. Tilden.
He has no right to be dragged out of the
well-earned repose which he is repre-
sented as seeking and desiring to keep.
The good wishes of troops of friends ac-
company his philosophical retirement.
while canvass for his denomination
would only embitter his experience. Let
it be then as Mr.. Tilden wishes and if
there any more gentlemen who are being
advertised as presidential candidates
against their wishes let them make
known their disinclination, and save
themselves from the suspicion of being
seekers for an Office which should always
seek the man.

FRIDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 3, 1882
The State Larcenies.


In the general denunciatiOn of the
petty stealings at Harrisburg it ought
not be overlooked that the last Demo.
cratic state convention boldly arraigned
the party in power-which is mainly re.
sponsible for the abuse-for I" a system
of wholesale waste and peculation in the
ordinary expenditures of the govern
ment - and it explicitly declared that
it pledged itself to economy in the
governmental expenditures, that the
people may he lightly burdened and the
purity of the administration pre-
served to the abolition all useless Of
fees and the looping of all supernumerary
officials" We are duly sensible that
party platforms and campaign pledges
are regarded with suspicion, as being
framed and enunciated only to be kept to
the ear. We are conscious that Demo-
cratic officials when they got into office
have often proved As bad as Republicans
in this tendency to petty peculation
under the guise of incidentals,' -" COLI
tingents " and "pasIers and folders. "
But we know that the above quoted
words were incorporated in the Williams
port platform by those who meant them
and who intended that in the event of
Democratic success demand would be
made upon the state treasurer elect to
realize them in all their significance. If
Mr.. Noble had been made state treasurer
the eINTELLIGENCER,fo for one, would have
insisted upon him making and meeting
this issue. 1t attempted to have
Col. Noyes' administration measure up
to it, and it was betrayed-like him no
doubt-by his chief clerk, who started
out to compel contractors to deliver
2,2iO pounds Of coal to the ton, instead
Of 200 pounds, but very soon got faint
hearted, and before six months was as
thick as thieves" with the men whom
he had formerly rOundly denounced.
The issue is one that shall not be downed
however. The people understand it and
are awake to it. The next Democrstic
state convention will undoubtedly de-
clare itself rs plainly as the last, and
thre, of the officers to be elected will be
in Il position to cut up these thieving
practices bv the roots. Besides
these every Democratic candidate
for the Legislature in every dis
trict in the state should be com
PEELED to pledge himself to that effect,
80 that whether the party win or lose it
can consistently move after the election
to inaugurate this much needed reform,
no less to Tighten the taxpayers burdens
than to purify the administration of the
government. The pressure is always
made upon members to find the greatest
number of places for their dependents
and they generally compromise and
divide. They must be taught something
different. They must cut down the SUI
pernumerary offices and stop the plunder-
ing. We give notice in advance that any
Democratic state official or member
hereafter elected who does not exert
himself to secure this object will receive
the unreserved condemnation of this
journal.
