THE DEATH OF EX-GOV. SWAMI.
BALTIMORE. July 10th. 1ss.

BALTIMORE, July Both, 1883.
Messrs Editors The remarks of your BaIti
more correspondent, "Nestor," on the death of
ex Gov. Swami, in his letter of last week. touches
a sympathetic chord in the breast of every true
Marylander who is liberal enough not to be biased
by partizan prejudices. But it is to be regretted
that after passing the eulogy which he did on the
character of Gov. Swami, he did not make some
allusion to the want of proper ceremony and the
unnecessary and unbecOming haste in consigning
the deceased Governor to his last resting place.
His body was brought directly from Union Station
to ST. Paul's church, where there was an audience
of less than one hundred persons. There were no
flowers and no opportunity given his friends to
take a last look at the deceased. The clergyman
read the church services, usual on such occasions,
without making any ausion whatever to the dis
tinguished position of the deceased, and as soon
as the funeral service was concluded the body was
taken to the grave by hired pail bearers.
Notwithstanding Mr.. Swann's political vageres
he was entitled to the love and respect of his fell
low citizens for the valuable services rendered by
him to the city of Baltimore and the State of
Maryland. If his body had been allowed TO lay
in state for twenty -four hours, and an opportunity
been given the people to view his remains and at
tend his funeral, there would have been no ncces-
sity for hired pail bearers, but there would doubt
less have been witnessed the largest funeral cor
tege seen in the city of Baltimore.
The man who had inaugurated the City
Hall, the Fire Department, the Police and Fire
Alarm Telegraph, the City Passenger Railways,
Druid Hill Park, and other important improve
ments, had strong hold on the affections of
people, regardless of party, and the citizens of Bal
timore regret that an opportunity was not given
them to testify their respect for his memory by
attending his funeral.
When the late Alexander Stevens, Governor Of
the State of Georgia, died, only short time since,
flags were displayed at half-mast and bells tOlled
at all of engine houses in the city of Baltimore,
while there no flag nor bell at any of these
engine houses to do honor to the memory of the
manswho had inaugurated this very Fire Depart
ment In establishing the paid Fire Department
he had the courage to strike down and forever de-
stroy those nurseries of crime and hot-beds of
rowdyism-the Volunteer Fire companies For
this alone, If he had rendered other service to
the city of Baltimore. he would be emit Ned 90
monument.
1t may not be in our day and generation, but
the time will surely come when the people will
have proper appreciation of the man who ac
complishcd more for the city of Baltimore than all
the other Mayors from Calhoun down to Whyte,
and they will erect in Druid Hill Park lasting
monumett to his memory. SAM.

gss-The high license or rather high liquor tax
law is proving very popular in Chic, and it is
probable that the Democrats will weaken their
opposition to the measure in the coming campaign,
as they study the wind closely. The liquor traffic,
which has gone untaxed for years, has already
paid in 60 of the IS counties Of the State nearly
81, 500, G68, apd there is more to come-S25O,O 900
probably, and soa,s say the whole revenue will
reach S2,OOO,O0O. In Hamilton county and some
others it will not be necessary to RAISE tax for
the support ofpaupers large number of saloons
will be closed, unable to pay the tax; while the
fact that the law has produced this large revenue
impresses the taxpayers favorably.

ne Baltimore county has to pay wholesale
prices for books and stationery for the public
schooIs and Baltimore city pays IL! per cent less
than Wholesale prices, because the city School
Board invites competition in awarding the con-
tract. This is conclusive argument why the
Baltimore county sah0pl CGmmissiOnefs should at
once ipEite proposals for supplying books and
stationery for tbs Fabbc schools, and thus save
III per cent to the tax payers Of the county.

1t is worthy Of remark that in all the sketches
of the late Bishop Pinkney, and they are many
no mention is made of the fact that he was at one
time Methodist preacher. Of the fact itself
there can be no doubt. When George G. Goodman
travelled Talbot circuit, Bishop then Mr. Pinkney
preached in Easton NJ. E. Church. Methodism has
given to other churches many good and great

early training they make excellent and usefu j

ny The Hon. Mike Bannon says that he viii
not only not support the Democratic ticket in

his power to defeat it. He declares that the Wells
party carried one of the districts at the primary
by the grossest kind of frauds, beating his BAN
nons) delegates by voting men who were not res
idents of the county, and for this reason, as well
for others, he will oppose the ticket and if pos
sible cause its defeat. With any sort of a fair
show the Republicans can carry Anne Arundel
every time, and with the present detection in The
ranks of their opponents they will simply havd
walk over. The trouble in Anne Arundel is oniy
precursor of what is almost" sure to follow 81
other counties of the State, and the golden oppor-
tunity for Republicans is presented just now
We hope they will not allow it to slip from their

LETTER FROM NEW YORK STATE.

MooRE's HOTEL, TRENTON FALLS, N. Y,
August LIST, 1888.
Messrs Longnecker BrOs.:-After spending u
few days in the suburbs of New York city, and
also the beautiful city of Utica, arrived at this
most enjoyable summer resort. 1t is as difficult
ito describe this place twoud be to describe the
Niagara. Trenton Falls is situated in the central
part of New York State, on the line of the Utica
and Black River Railroad only days travel
from Baltimore. There can be but one opinion as
to the beauty of this spot. 1t is without excep-
ton one of the most surprising and wonderful
places in the world. Trees of gigantic height and
size overshadow an awful chasm, down which
roars the waters of many cataracts. Niagara
alone surpasses Trenton in grandeur, but even
that most majestic of falls is inferior in pctur-
esque beauty to these views at any hour Of the day.
The Glen unlike Watkins, is perfectly safe to pass
through.
Moores Hotel is conducted by Mr.. NJ. Moore,
81 years of age, assisted by his three very gentle
manly sons. Mr.. Moore is u gentleman of the
highest intellectual culture soUan and traveller
of wide experience, and leaves nothing undone for
the comfort and pleasure of his guests Connected
with the hotel several cottages, furnished most
spendidly. Besides, we have another smaller
hote!-the Xauyahoora-under the charge of the
prince of good fellows, Capt. W. L. Ames, former
ly of the 1l7th New York. / will show him to you
some day soon. More anon, JESSE S. HUNT.
