ANOTHER DODGE ON LOCAL OP-
TON.

That is :: very Shrewd dodge of the op-
ponent of local option, apparent i'll the
Duvall Bill now pending in the legisla
ture. 1t proposes that the people Of the
State at large shall vote upon the Qnes-
ton, the aggregate vote of the whole
State and the city Of Baltimore settling
the question. To this bill the friends of
local option very earnestly and consist
emily object. Should the aggregate ma
jorty of the State III which the city of
Baltimore is 50 important factor. be
against local option, it would be lost
where it now exists. Indeed it would be
lost in any event. for if it should be
adopted By a vote of the whole State it
would be equivalent to the Maine prohib
itory law. For these reasons, in them
selves sufficient, the friends of local OPP
ton oppose the Duvall Bill. Tiey urge
very reasonably and forcibly, that the
city of Baltimore. and each county of the
State. should by separate vote in each.
determine the question of local prohibit
ton. If the vote of Cecil county and that
of every other county in the State fav-
orable to prohibition. be swallowed up
by the adverse vote of the city of Balti-
more, how. Or in what sense can we call
it local option. Yet it is this very
hope that animates the advocates of
whisky, in pressing the Duvall Bill. We
hope the bill with its present provisions
will be defeated and VIC believe it will

MR.. BLAINE'S EULOGY ON GAR

We give space in to-day's issue to a

Thcr in their affections, and for whose
memory no one has truer claims upon
heir reverence, seemed to have left lit
IL uusaid, either as to the facts and incl
dents of his early life, or of the record
of his maturer years. Mr.. Blaine, how
ever, with the brilliancy for which he is
5astly distinguished, has presented these
nets anew, not in the ford language of
tie fulsomc rhaps odist, but in the we'll
CHOSEN and classic language of states
