Rough on the "Organs.'

There is certain measure Of truth
in the following bit of comment, taken
from the Baltimore american, that
makes it all the more unpalatable to
those to whom it applies.
Zone of the most remarkable things
about the rural press of Maryland is
that while it RACES and foams at the
mouth over National politics, there
are comparatively few journals that
have the courage to say anything
about the political "goings. on" in Ma
ryland. With the Democratic papers
the trouble is that those who get the
bill printing pap are afraid they will
lose it, and the others are hoping for
it in concilatory manner
There can be no gainsaying he fact
that, so far at least as it concerns Fred
erick county, the alleged political pa
pers are little or nothing else than the
mouthpiece Of one or the other of the
two factions that exist in both parties
and their politics NAV be reckoned
ep in a statement that they defend all
that their wing does or proposes to DO
and condemn all that the other wing
does, or proposes to do, while it is of
course their bounden duty to oppose
and censure the other political party.
The faithful performance of the latter
is considered to fully amend all that it
may say about the other faction and it
thus never becomes necessary that
they should occupy any very advanc-
ed stations of thought and are able
thus to steer middle course and do
it consistently, even though it render
them liable to such sneers, as we have
quoted, from one Of their bigger broth.

Old folkswho trave' el by the Pm .
sylvania Railroad in its first years,
are greatly amused at the contrast be-
tween then and now. 1t is told Of one
of the original directors that when a
proposition was made ia the board to
have curtains put to the windows Of
the cars he strongly opposed it. If
you make the cars too comfortable,
said he, people will be tempted to
travel in them to the neglect Of their
business; all the world will take to
gaddiDg about instead Of staying at
home working, and more passengers
will come than the road can convent
