mOdiOuSness and artistic architecture
were subjects of universal common
dalton. 1t contains $4,000 square
feet of space that is disable for eXhi-
bitiOn purposes, besides 1876 rooms
for Offices In one corner of the eX-
hihition hall, which is all on one
floor are delightful and nicely furn-
ished little parlors for the use of WIS.,
itors, cool resting places, and adjoin-
ing them smOking-rOom for gentle
tlemen, and toilet rooms for both
sexes. Near by them is also cool
and comfortable little cafe, where the
inner man may be made contented
and satisfied. The collection is al
ready quite interesting. although the
work of stocking the hall has just
commenced. Notably among the ar
ticles on exhibition is an assortment
of puppets represent different grades
OF Chinese ranks and occupations.
Another interesting exhibit is a series
of masks used by the Chinese in their
plays. Gortesquelygrinning masks
for farce hideously yillainous masks
for tragedy, and notwithstanding
to the Chinese taste-masks for cGm-
edy. A number of curiously carved
Fiji war-clubs is also a subject for
interesting study. The elaborate COL
lection of any one class of objects
is one of buildingstone specimens.
Thousands of square blocks from all
parts of the country, the side polish
ed in different styles are here eXhib-
tied. Each stone is carefully exam
ined by chemist, microscopic aud
mechanician, and the results of their
separate examinations are exposed
on the label. The same careful in
designations are applied to drugs and
medicines, of which there are num-
berleSs bottles on exhibition.
In the course of ten or twenty
years, when the collection shall be
somewhat approaching fitness, the
Museum will be one of the most at
tractive in the world. The plan
mapped out by the originators Of the
scheme is a gigantic one, but if it is
carried on with unfiagging zeal and
perseverance and the outlook al
present is that such will be the case
the next century will be blessed with
the finest and most useful museum
ever know.

The True Friend of Labor.

The recent Convention of Labor
held in Philadelphia declared that
"The past twenty years history of
the Democratic and Republican par
ties furnishes no instance wherein
the workingmen of our country have
been benefited by legislation"
That is true as to the Democratic
party? Is it true as to the Republic
can party? On the contrary, the
Republican party has ever been the
friend and protector of the working
man, both by legislation and other
wise.
From 1860 downward the Republi-
can party Waged war, spilled seas of
blood. and thousands of millions of
dollars to the cause of the laboring
mantle most degraded laboring
man, the slave.
Within twenty years the Republic
can party not only gave the slave
laboring man his freedom, but gave
him also the elective franchise, rails
ing him to an equality with the
Southern capitalist the aristocratic
planter.
The Republican party gave, with
in the past twenty years, to the poor
man-tO the lab0ring mantle
"homeStead law" which, in the Ian
guage of the Democrats, who alone
opposed it, gave, "land to the land
less"
The Republican party within twen-
ty years passed the "eight hour law"
for the sole benefit of workingmen.
The Republican party within the
past twenty-five years, gave to the
laboring man the Morrill, tariff, which
protects labor and gives to the labor.
ing man such wages "a can be had
| in no other land than this under the
sun and has since put upon the free
list, coffee and tea and other of the
necessities of life for his benefit.
These are some of the many instan-
ces which the Republican party has
furnished during the past twenty
years of its history "wherein the
working-men of our country have
been benefited by legislation" The
Labor Convention showed both igno-
rance, ingratitude, and disregard Of
the truth of history in asserting
otherwise, and thereby hurt the cause
of honest and hOnored labor. Every
intelligent laborer in the land cannot
but know and acknowledge that the
! Republican party has always been
the true friend and the only friend of
: labor.

Figures That Don't Lie.

The difference between the homes
ty of Republicans in Office and the
dishonesty of Democrats in Office is
strikingly shown in the fact that DUR
ing their entire administration of
this government, from the time
Buchanan left the White House I'M
til now, the Republicans have lost
only a mean average of 46 cents on
every 81, 600 received and dlsbursed
while the Democrats lost a mean
average of S5.17 on every 81 900 they
received and disbursed from the
same time back to and inclusive of
the administration of Washington.
In fact the losses by dishonest adj
ministrations were as high as $3.50
per ZOO during Monroe's two
terms, 1882 during Jackson's two
terms, and Sill during the term of
Van Buren,. In the face of such fig
ures as these the Democratic leaders
should blush when they talk of"econ-
Omy and REFORM" and an "honest"
administration.

Nc Comas.-Allegany, 5; Washing
ton, 5; Garrett, 3; Montgomery, 3.
Total, 16.
U1ner.-Frederick, 6; Montgom-
ery1. Total, 7.
Mr.. Thomas Gorsuch, of Frederick
was President; Mr.. Isaiah Boucher,
of Garrett, Vice President, and w.
P. Townshend, Esq, of Oakland,

The Fight in Maine.

Much may be learned by Republic
cans, in studying the campaign in
Maine. The State was called upon
to select between a number of tick cts.
Efforts were made to divide the Re-
publican vote by introducing side is
sues insignificant as compared with
party success, and personal questions
had been allowed to intrude them
selves so as to to hide for the moment
greater issues. The Republicans, I'M
der the leadership of Mr.. Blaine, pre-
pared for action by casting aside all
unimportant questions, treading I'M
der foot all matters connected with
personal ambition, and looking
squarly at the contest as one between
the Democratic and Republican par.
ties. Then with cleared vision, thew
entered the fight, not to contend
with each other in a family quarrel,
but against common enemy whom
it was their interest to defeat. The
party was united. The Struggle was
for the success of principles, believed
to be essential to the prosperity of
the country, and the Republicans
fought nobly, with the result that is
now set down to their honor. The
fight in Maine, and all its peculiari.
ties, is profitably one to study for
those who think it is a fine thing to
divide party so as to secure the per.
sonal advancement of individuals.
Such a course is death to party sue.
cess, hut united effort, as in Maine, is
its life and glory. Fredericb Econai.
