The Baltimore Nel0S, a Democratic
newspaper, and whose editor holds an
important Office in Baltimore at the
hands of that party, has the follow
ing astonishing remarks to make
about the condition of the Maryland
Democracy:
"There is no doubt that the Demo-
cratic party of this city and State is
in a precarious condition. While the
sections or factions have patched up
a sort of truce, there are smouldering
passions and riyalries and jealousies
which must be regarded or the party
will be defeated as certain as an elec-
ton is held. There is no sense in
Disgusting or mIsrepresenting the sit
uation. and the sooner those interest
ed in Democratic success or the per-
petuity of Democratic organization
recognize the fact, the better will it
be for the party. Whatever may
have been the causes of this condi-
ton of things it nevertheless exists,
and that a remedy must be applied
is patent to ALL"

The Trade Dollar is gradually find
ing its way back into circulation.
When the scare first began number
of Jewish clothing houses to draw
trade announced that they would take
the betrayed coin at par. This brought
them a run of custom until other
houses in the same line did likewise,
and then the trick lost its value.
Then saloon keepers began first by
agreeing to take them if a certain
number of drinks were taken. From
this they soon retreated to accepting
them without stipulation. Grocers
and dealers in fancy goods next fol-
lowed. In a few weeks the trade
dollar will be as well off as foreign
coins, When the hue and cry was
raised against them nobody wanted
them. Now, one can get rid of them
almost anywhere except in street cars
and at banks.

Frightful Calamity.

LONDON, July 2S.-Tne town of
Casamicciola, near Naples, was al
most entirely destroyed by an earth
quake last night. The neighboring
towi of Fario and Lacceameno were
greatl.y damaged. One hundred per-
sons, more or less severely injured,
have arrived at Naples by steamers.
The number of people killed is not
known.
ROME, July 29.-The Minister of
Public Works has gone to Cassamic-
clio to arrange measures of relief. The
shock began at half past nine O'Clock
last night. At that hour majority
of the people of the upper classes were
at the theatre. Nearly all of the
houses in the town collapsed. 1t is
estimated that one thousand persons
were killed and eight hundred in
jured. A number of steamers have
been brought into service to carry the
injured to Naples. The impression
produced by the disaster is indescrib-
able. Many of the victims belong to
good families.

OUR NEW YORK LETTER.
From our Regular Correspondent. !


NEW YORK. July 9th, 1883.
Dizziness prevails in political world.
Most of the politicians of note are at
the summer resorts, where there is a
great deal of talk and very little &C.
ton, and thus so far az the affairs OF
our own State are concerned there is
nothing doing. Preparations for the
fall are beginning to be made how
ever. The Republican State Conven-
ton will be held about the middle OF
September. The State Committee
meets here in August and will prob
ably select Saratoga as the meeting
place for the delegates. The prevail
ing desire at present seems to be to
renominate the old ticket, adding to
it Pliny I. Sexton, President of the
First National Bank of Palmyra, for
the State Treasuryship now held by
a Democrat. Sprague who was de-
feated last year for this office, and
Ex-senator Wendover of Columbia
county are also spoken of, but Sexton
seems to be the most likely one as he
has strong backing from the interior
of the State.
Coming home from Long Branch
the other evening, L was introduced
to prominent Ohio Republican, and
had an extended conversation with
him on the outlook there. Said he
"The Democrats finding every other
means useless resorted to throwing
mud against Judge Foraker, and
brought out a number of ISLANDERS
against him, one of which was his
enmity to the interests of colored peo.
pie. The Judge however promptly
replied to all of their slanderous as.
sci tons and thus removed the sting
beforeany harm could be done. From
their tactics now, it looks very much
as II they had given up all hope o.
getting the Governorship, and were
combining themselves more to the
Legislature, in the hope of getting 6
majority there to repeal the Scott
liquor law"

MONDAY, July 80, 1888,
The quotations given are those OF
the retail market, except where other
wise stated.
PRICES OF BEEF CATTLE AT THE
MARKET TODAY.
Very best on sale to-day 5306
cts that generally rated first quality,
4S@5S cents; medium or good fair
quality, 3S048 cents; ordinary thin
steers, oxen and cows. 3(@3f cents ;
extreme range of prices, 1906 cents
Most of the sales were from 4f(@5b.
REMARKS ON BEEF CATTLE.
The arrival of Cattle during the
week amounted to 2,0S7 head, against
1851 last week and 1928 head the cor
responding week Of last year, and the
sales were $3.50 head, against 1867 last
week, and 1881 head the correspond
ing week of last year.
The market opened to-day on the
Hill slightly more active than last
week, and at prices a shade higher
than last week, but it did not so con-
tinue very long, and before the close
trade became very dull and the open
ing advance scarcely maintained. The
quality of the offerings was not of
quite as good an average as last week,
the tops being quite as good, but the
medium grades being more numer-
Gus. Prices 3@6c., with most sales
from 4l95Bc.
THE SWINE MARKET.
The run shows this week fair in
crease in numbers over last weeks
offerings, but the quality generally
proves to be unsatisfactory, being too
heavy. There is scarcity of the kind
needed. Prices show an advance of
fully 4c. over last weeks figures, and
are firm at the quotations. We quote
stillers and common Hogs at 8(0fc,
and the better grades at 84@83, with
extra at shade higher figure-most
sales at and near 81. Last year prices
ranged from 102 to 114c., with most
at 114@11b.
THE SHEEP MARKET.
The offerings consist almost wholly
of common Sheep and Lambs. Good
stock is in demand, both of sheep and
lambs, but scarce, while common are
hard to sell, the market generally be-
ing quite slow. We quote butcher
Sheep at 3(@5tc., while extra quality
would bring higher figure. Lambs
4(064; stock Sheep 304c. per 10,
Last year butcher Sheep sold for the
same figures as to-day, and Lambs
at 4@6c.

organized in the interest of Tilden
boom. Chairman Hensel's Lancaster
MteLtigencer throws cold water on the
announcement of his candidacy, and
remarks: "There is no new devel-
opment in it at all. Everyone has
known that Mr.. Tllden would accept
the Presidential nomination if it was
offered to him just as everyone has
known that his letter declaring that
he could accept it was read to the
Cincinnati Convention only when it
was absolutely certain that he could
not be nominated"

county, irrespective of party: Who
will be a suitable candidate, we'll fit
ted in every respect to fill so high
and honorable a position. In my
humble opinion the members of the
Bar of Garrett county, without ex-
ception, are gentleman of learning
and marked ability, an honor not
only to the Bar they represent but
also to the citizens of this county,
with whose interests they are so
closely identified, and would there
fore offer at once a formidable and
brilliant field of talent from which
to select a suitable candidate, well
fitted for so high and honorable a
position, without even an attempt at
importation from beyond the limits
of this county, as unfortunately has
been the case more than once in Off
ces of less importance. The office
of judge is, without doubt, one of the
highest and most honorable positions
within the gift of the people, and it
would therefore be we'll and prudent
to select a candidate not only well
qualified, but also well worthy in
every respect, on whom to bestoW so
high an honor man not only iden-
titled with the affairs and govern
ment of this county, but who would
also, without fear or favor, admins
ter justice tempered with mercy.
There will no doubt be many aspi-
rants and worthy candidates of both
political parties brought into the field
but know of none more worthy to
grace the ermine, with that ability
and purity belonging thereto, than
our present States Attorney, Mr.,
John w. Veitch, a man well known
for his administrative ability by
every citizen of this county. and GER
tainly marked contrast to some of
his predecessors whose inability and
useless squandering of the public
funds is still fresh before the people,
Being no politician 1 am not even
aware whether Mr.. Veitch is or is
not an aspirant, or that he would ac-
cept the nomination lift were tender
ed him, but as already stated, the
office ofjudge being one of the hig h.

The Mayor of Grafton fined an en-
gineer $40 and costs for running his
train through the town at greater
speed than six miles an hour, and
was preparing to fine others, when
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
Company put an end to hostilities by
obtaining from Judge Jackson an in
junction in the circuit court of the
United States prohibiting the further
execution OF the ordinance. 1t is
claimed by the railroad company
that the town can pass no valid ordi-
nance regulating the speed of its
trains; that it is engaged in carrying
the United States mail, and carrying
passengers and freight through the
state of West Virginia into other
States; that the mayor of West Graf
ton can't say how fast Uncle Sans
mail shall be carried. nor can he in
terfere with the speed of a train en-
gagged in carrying on commerce with
another state; that Congress alone
can regulate commerce among the
several states. 1t will thus be seen
that an important constitutional
question has been raised.
