The Mortgage-Tax Governor.

Two papers on the Eastern Shore are doing
their best to get up some enthusiasm for Gov.
Hamilton for denomination. The Eastern
Shore Democrats are largely in favor of tax
ing mortgages, and it was charged there that
the Governor is opposed to such a measure.
The unwise but energetic Denton Journal was
not to have its candidate struck down on that
score, so it hunted up the platform of 1879,
and published a resolution that declared that
the constitutional rule should be observed
that requires all persons to contribute to
the support of government according to actual
worth in real and personal property. That
resolution settled the matter effectively the
Journal considered, and the other Hamilton
mortgage-tax paper on the Eastern Shore,
the Somerset Herald, republished the article
with so much satisfaction it took all the credit
for the brilliant move and never said that ii
was appropriated from the Journal. If more
courtesy and fairness is not displayed in the
Hamilton party of the Eastern Shore a spill
may occur, and the two factions, of one voter
each, may become irreconciable.
In regard to that portion of the platform o
1879, which the Journal published, and which
that paper seems to think called for the tax
ing of mortgages, we assert that Governor
Hamilton never referred to it in either of his
messages to the Legislature, and in hi:
''bomb- she'll he not only did not favor tax
ingmortgages, but merely alluded to the subjec
as one of little consequence. When bills fol
taxing mortgages were up for consideration
in the Legislatures of 1880 and 1882, he die
nothing to favor their passage, and if oul
memory is correct, he was actually opposed
to such legislation. Gov. Hamilton is self
interest man all the time. A few years ago
1.-TWO or three he was assessed at a consider
able under $500, 600, and was reputed to be
worth more than $500, 0OO He held mort,
cages for large amount and we were in,
formed that the mortgages contained provi-
sion that if they were ever taxed the mortga-
gor should pay the tax.
This is the record ofthe mortgage tax can
didate of the Journal and Herald. If the
Governors only sin was his failure to favor
taxing mortgages, we could overlook it, but
if he has done anything toward lettering the
condition of the state and strengthening the
Democratic party we are not aware of It,
The Legislatures have done much in the way
of economy, but Governor Hamilton is in nc
way to be credited with it, for he had no infu
ence with those bodies.

An Explanation.
MANCHESTER, July IA, 1888.

MANCHESTER, July II, 1888.
MEssRs EDITORS i WISH through the
columns of your much esteemed and popular
paper, the ADVOCATE, to explain to its readers
the appearing much-perpleXing problem of
the charter of Mt. Union Church. | see in
the last issue, in the Eden items, your expert
correspondent refers to it, but it reads as
though he misunderstood the matter (of which
he does. Referring to the matter he says
'Ihe NJ. +. congregation has withdrawn"
giving as reason THAT a rumor is that the
L. B. congregation were making preparations
to close the door against them. | see, Mr..
Editor, your correspondent is too wise to put
much stress on rumors. 1t is a mistake. In
the past the L. B. and NJ. f. congregations
were worshipping there. When looking
around the church property we found many
things out of repair. You could enter, the
church at any time without permission. In
inquiring into the matter we found that the
church was not chartered property, hence 10
one seemed to care for it. In looking up the
deed, we found the property was decided to
the Church Of the United Brethren in Christ,
with the privilege of any other denomination
of orthodox worship, and especially the NJ.
f. Church. Finding it to be decided to the
U. B. Church, it was in their place to look
after the matter. According to the laws of
the state of Maryland, we proceeded and had
the church chartered, which should have been
done long ago, Then the congregation of the
U. B. Church appointed a committee to write
bylaws, including two of the members Of the
NJ. Z. Now you will see that instead of clos
ing the door against the NJ. Els, the |. b.
Church is giving the hand to the NJ. +. Church
and saying by the legal act, Brethren, let us
be a legal organized church, instead of stand
ing aloof and nobody owning u.s." The NJ. E.
is as welcome to that church as ever, and for
that reason the committee ON bylaws is to
act to make written laws to show that after
the present officials die the NJ. E. Church has
a home in Mt. Union Church more than ever,
because it is now an incorporated church.
We trust that this explanation will settle
the matter. From one Who KNOWS.

The talk about the next United States
Senator from Maryland, to succeed Mr..
Groome, appears to be little premature.
The Democratic party should now address it
self to securing a majority of the next Legis-
lature. To this end three things are necessa-
ry,-good nominations, full registration, and
full vote. Without these the Republicans
may attend to filling Senator Groome's place.

Tariff reformers who in former years be-
longed to the old Wing party are accused by
the protectionists of inconsistency, and of
falling away from the teachings of Henry
Clay. Those who talk this way don't know
what they are talking about. Why the aver
age duty on dutiable goods for ten years pre-
vious to 1916 was % per cent. Now it is 49,.
The tariff reformers of the present day would
be perfectly satisfied with the tariff supported
by Henry Clay.

The history of agriculture for the last sew
enteen wears records no greater triumph than
has been exhibited in the annual results OF
the use Of
ORCHILLA GUANO
in the promotion of the growth of
GRAIN AND GRASS,
and in the Improvement of the soils to which
it has been applied. The large aggregate to
which its sales now reach proves at once Its
popularity and its worth.
It's claim to favor arises from
LIST. The valuable constituents OF
which it is composed; being just what
growing plants require for perfect growth, and
Just what is need to
MAKE POOR LAND RICH.
ID. It's Perfect Chemical Combina-
ton: which no human skill or mechanical
continuance can successfully initiate.
Sd. It's Perfect Purity; there being
only II per- cent of dross contained in it.
In other words,
IT Is ALL FERTILIZER.
4th. And all this at Low Price.
The most eminent chemists of our land have
repeatedly analysed it and certified to these
facts But farmers have been so often i'm
posed upon in buying fertilizers that they
have learned caution, and therefore even so
valuable an article as ORCTIILLA has to
Win It's Way By It's Merits.
This it is doing, and as it makes friends it
keeps them. Those who have used it longest
use the most of it.
Our claim for the value of Orchila Guano
is high one but we have the

who use it that it is not an extravagant one.

elusive that all controversy is silenced:
The Department Of Agriculture of

In "Pinafore'' there is a cat. At the Lon
don Royalty Miss Stanley has kitten which
comes on nightly in the opera To get the
kitten on the spot in time for his entrance a
saucer of milk is given him about quarter
of an hour before. Kitty comes for his milk
to the minute. Directly he has refreshed
himself and washed his whiskers he is caught,
and not released until he has done his work.
Then as a reward he has a nice supper and is
allowed to run away and amuse himself un-
til he is wanted for the next nights perform
ance. For hundred nights kitten has
never failed, but this week. for the first
time, he did. The saucer of milk stood in
vitingly ready, but no kitten came. He
missed his cue and his page had to go on
without him. But directly his scene was
over he came as bold as brass for his supper.
But he didn't get it. You're fined nights

manager, and poor kitty went supperless to
bed. The lesson has not been thrown away.

room now directly the overature begins.

ing stretches? 1t will fit the
leg like a kid glove fits the hand.
The'sizes range from eight to ten. In Balti-
more the average is from eight to eight and
half. In Boston and Chicago it is from nine
to nine and a half, and in New York from
eight and half to nine. 1t is well-known
fact among hosiery dealers that the women
of Baltimore have the smallest feet in the
country. Why there is not a day passes
without some lady asking for seven and a
half, which is girls size. [ said asking
but that was slip of the tongue. They
don't ask for any particular size. Nor do
we ever guess at the size. We show them
the different shades, and they make their
selections apparently without noticing the
size. There are, of course, exceptions
to this rule, but why most of the
women OF Baltimore should be so diplomatic
about buying stockings is something l can't
see any reason for. If 1 were in Boston or
Chicago or st. Louis, could readily under
stand the object.
Yes there are lots of high-priced stock
ings sold in Baltimore. Here's pair worth
