the Democratic candidates. In our party, where
nomination has been equivalent to an election,
man who thinks he has a chance of being nomi-
mated will not stand back, but will use every
means in his power to get the nomination. In
the Republican party, however, when the leaders
elected IL nominated, he obeys. What does he
give up? His chances for election are remote,
and his sef-abnegation gives him claim on his
party In the future. AS for himself he was for
the nominee, whoever he may be. He would ex-
didate but wouldn't it be right for a voter to say
frankly, II will vote for no man who solicits the
nomination" Some gentlemen may not choose
to volunteer their names as candidates. There
fore let their friends announce them. Let the
voters then take the list and select the best men
on the ticket. He had never failed in his faith in
the people, and whether nominations are made by
the convention or by the Crawford County sys-
TEN, we must rely upon the judgment of the peo-
pie at last.

The convention then adjourned.

The action of the Baltimore city Demo
cratic convention in appointing five promi.
nent and trustworthy citizens to name the
places of holding the primary elections and
the judges and clerks appears to be accepta-
bic to the entire party. 1t will doubtless re.
suit in placing good and fairly nominated
ticket in the field and ensure a sweeping
Democratic victory in Baltimore city.

Mr., G. Irving Ditty's enemies have at
last succeeded in persuading President
Arthur to remove him from his position of
Collector of Internal Revenue at Baltimore.
Mr.. j. Henry Selman, of Anne Arundel
county, has been appointed in his place.
The alleged cause of Mr. Ditty's removal is
physical inability to perform the duties Of
the Office but his friends assert that this state
ment is made merely to soften the blow OF
his removal The colored Republicans will
doubtless feel disappointed at Mr.. Ditty's
removal, since he had proved himself to be
their unwavering friend.

AGRICULTURAL.


Wheat in this section is late but looks very
well. Grass is unusually fine and early. Our
farmers have about finished planting corn and
are preparing for tomatoes. The prospect for
fruit is good, especially apples, and If they fufll
expectations this coming fall we will laugh at
local option and grow fat on cider.

SUICIDE OF AN OLD CoLoRED MAN William
lived for many years on the farm of Mr.. Abra-
ham Cole, near Michaelsville, committed sui
eide by hanging himself to the limb of tree
in the woods on Black Island shore. Reeds
mind had been wandering, and he left his home
last Friday night. Search was made but his
body was not found until Tuesday afternoon.
1t appeared that he climbed the tree to a fork,
and adjusting the rope around his neck reached
out and fastened the other end of the rope to q
limb. In springing off his heel caught in the
fork and when found it was still in the fork OF
the tree while one hand was grasping the rope,
as though he had tried at the last moment to
save himself. Justice Cronn, who was notified,
made an examination and being satisfied it was
q case of suicide, declined to hold an inquest.

THAT LITTLE BIT OF PREVIOUS
NESS.

Chairman.Of.the- Republican State
Executive Committee ATKINSON seems
to have recovered his perspicuity if
not his "previOusness." He seems to
think il not wise to be too previous.
"If we succeed in getting up a hot box
in September" says the Chairman,
won't it become CONCEALED in Janu-
aTy%" Then again the Chairman's per-
sIicuity seems to have discovered a
niger in a wood pile. He Says, sar-
~casticaily:
What the particular object of such q
conference is we are not advised, and
what is expected to be accomplished by
il has not been made to appear. TIE
suggestion of u conference appears in
such an unusual manner, the commit
tee having such matters in charge not
having been consulted In the matter so
far % we knew one is at loss to judge
whether it is the Republican or the
Bourbon party that stands in immedi-
ate danger of disintegratiOn.
Now, this wet blanket douehing by
the Chairman, We submit, Is a little too
chilly q process for warming up 3 Re-
publican love-feast. The Chairman is
uncharitable. More than that, he
wasn't invited. 1t isn't his put.

..OLD WOMEN"

There are some women who accept
their sge gracefully, who in growing
old simply develop another form Of
beauty. They accept the situation ana
do not try to disguise a thing that only
asserts itself the more deteTminedly for
being fought. But to other women
growing old means letting go their hold
Of everything they enjoy most IN life,
which In their case is the attention and
flattery of men. They cling on to their
little cOqueltish ways with the tenacity
of the drowning man to the traditional
straw. 1t is impossible for them to be-
lieve that they are storing up the years.
They are, however, the first to discover
the crows feet about 90 and SOS eyes,
aud tho Lost 80 ~okuUwlPuge the own.
L really feel sorry for such women.
They are very unhappy when the sub
ject of age Is mentioned. l do not want
to twit them on their years. / only
want to tell them that they only aggra-
vate the appearance of age by covering
their poor skins with paint and ssSum-
ing the manners of the kitten.-Er-
change.
A real woman may grow in years
but she Fever grows old"
A woman cannot, properly, be said to
be growing old until she is found to be
losing the sense of delieacy which is the
distinguishing trait in a true lady's
character; until there is a noticeable
lack of refinement in her manner and
methods; until she manifests lack of
punishment in any Of the intellectual,
social and domestic traits Of lovely w.
manhood.
General refinement is perpetual bloom
to womanhood. A faStidious woman,
with delicate sensibilities and tastes
manifested in her dress, her person, her
manners and in all the outeroppingI Of
her inner self, Is always young. 1t is
the essence of ungallantry to speak of
such q woman growing old. We in
sist that there are no "old women,n un-
less they are slovenly, slouehy, coarse
and careless Of their person, uueomely,
uneouth and lacking delicsey Of taste
and general refinement.

RAILROAD EQUIPMENTS.

When we have built all the railroads
we need in this country, competition
will turn to the matter of comfort and
convenience to passengers.
We are now ambitious to have roads
regardless of the kind Of roads. We
will after a while want the best road,
the safest road, the most comfortable
and accommodating road.
We are already aspiring to build bet
ter roads than heretofore. Ofthe roads
coming into Wheeling, we find that as
their number increases the ambition
rises to have the best road. The Ohio
River road, for example, is contracted
for on a basis, rs far as the construction
is concerned, that will make it as good
rs the Pennsylvania Central, One of the
best in the country.
The railroads of America have had
the reputation of cXcelling any in the
world in point of equipments. But if
we are to trust the report Of a foreign
correspondent, the managers of the old
country are also growing ambitious in
this direction. According TO this cor
respondent, the new lightning eX-
Press" which is the name given to the
>emi-weekly train which rms from
Paris to Bucharest, and which will
shortly run through to Constantinople,
is not surpassed in comfort and luxury
by any railway train in the world.
livery saloon is carpeted with a Smyrna
rug two inches thick; the sides of the
compartments are covered partly with
embossed japanese leather paper, and
partly with gobelin tapestry; the
carriages are brilliantly lighted
by means of gas, and the din
ing o cars are supplied with
handsome clocks, damask curtains and
Venetian mirrors. The breakfast con-
>ists of five, and the dinner of eight
courses, cooked by a French Chef, and
served in superb style. The sleeping
cars are furnished in al equally mag
nificent manner, and are supplied with
both hot and cold water. The average
rate of speed during the long trip
across Europe, is about forty miles per
hour.
1t must be admitted that, if the des-
cription above given is not greatly ex-
aggerated, the European railway man
ayers do not need to take many leaves
from our book, for, everything consid-
cred, we have no train in this country
that can be compared with this one.
