VOTE OF THANKS.

The parties stopping at the Benford House
during the session of the Maryland Annual
Conference, desire to give expression to their
thankfulness to the proprietor and ladies OF
the house for the kind hospitality extended to
them during their brief stay.
Notwithstanding the fact that part of the
house was undergoing repairs, the accommo-
dations were excellent, and everything neces-
sary to comfort and pleasantness was afforded
the guests of the house. Good beds, good
table, warm rooms and every little detail con
ducive to the comfort of the travelling public
are there cheerfully rendered at very reason
able rates. TO the ladies of the house we all
feel especially indebted for their almost UNI
bounded hospitality, kind attention and sin
cere regard for the pleasure and comfort OF
all.
And as we bid them adieu, perhaps never
to meet them again, we wish them long life
and happiness, and trust that the Benford
House may long exist to confer its blessings
upon and promote the comfort of the travel
ing public.
Cheerfnlly subscribed.

England's New Trouble.

An EXPLOSION in the local government board
offices in Westminster, London on Thursday
night of last week, shook the walls OF the
House of Commons, and it is reported that
an ATTEMPT was made to blow up the House
with dynamite.
Sunday last says:
The sight ofthe inexpressible havoc wrought
by Thursday nights explosion IN Parliament
street is doing vastly more to create uheasi-
ness in the public mind than could pc zone
by all the newspaper reports that conla possl-
bly, be written. 100,
Thousands upon thousands OF people pass
through the streets amazed at the devastation
that has been wrought, and apparently realiz'
inc oomnletely for the first time the tremen-
dons fact that. if this has been effected so
easily at the very doors of Parliament with
ont the police being able to obtain any warn
inc of the attack or any clue to the perpetra,,
tors. a mere handful of desperadoes can hold
This great city of London at their mercy.
Great efforts are being made to prevent any
future attempts of the same sort: Most OF
the climbs have put on night Waterman, and
al the Bank of England the nightly. picket,
already of quite formidable numbers, has been
doubled. =,
Fears are also entertained in London that
the destruction may be attempted OF some OF
the most precious of our national buildings
aspecially of Westminster Abbey. LIN short,
there IS good deal of a panic prevalent IN
the British metropolis at this present moment.
AS is always the case, with the panic, is
scommingled no little fury, and the, popular
feeling is certainly rising against the lrisn:

Unless terms are speedily made between
the dealers and producers, New York city
will experience milk famine. Already
the supply is quite short, and much incon-
venience is felt The milk farmers in the
vicinity of the city are on strike. The
city dealers only pay, OR offer to pay, three
cents quart, while they charge their Gus
toners eight cents. The milk farmers say
they cannot make anything at three cents
a quart and the dealers are accumulating
considerable money on their five cents
profit. The farmers, to bring the dealers
to better terms, have concluded to stop
shipping until the price is raised to three
and half cents, and the milk producers
organization have not only stopped ship
ping themselves, but are endeavoring to
prevent other farmers from doing so. Milk
cans are emptied at the stations, and in
some instances farmers who are not in the
strike have their wagons stopped and their
cans emptied in the public road. Some
Of the roads leading to railroad stations
have been so barricaded as to prevent milk
wagons from passing.

Gen. Bradley T. johnson has given his
views on Maryland politics and Baltimore
city politics particularly. His general views
are not especially important, nor do they
impress one with the authors intimate or
comprehensive knowledge of the politics of
the state, or of his superior wisdom or sa-
gacity. The SIM, which publishes them,
claims that Gen Johnson's views in regard
to Gov Hamilton's candidacy for re-elec-
ton may be taken authoritatively. Gen.
johnson asserts that Gov. Hamilton does
not desire denomination. The Governor
might as well not desire it, for he will not
get it. We doubt if even Washington
county would send delegates to the state
convention asking his denomination, and
it is certain that the Democrats of no other
county desire or will have him for another
term. His unpopularity now is the reverse
of his popularity three years ago. His ad-
ministration has been un-Democratic and
a failure, as far as his individual acts
are concerned The legislature during his
term has given us much wholesome legisla-
ton and greatly economical expenses as
we'll as reduced the number Of office-hOld-
crs they erred always when they needed
his suggestions.

The circulation of the Baltimore Day
has increased from 4 900 last August to
nearly $4,000 last Friday, and it claims to
be next to the SIN in circulation. The
publisher not only claims this, but challen-
ges the american, Herald and Ne,es to
prove to the contrary, if they can. The
Dan deserves its success, for it is a good
newspaper. 1t is also thoroughly Demo
cratic. and Democrats should rally to its
support and give it thirty or forty thousand
circulation. The larger the patronage be
slowed upon it, the better the publisher
can make his journal.

Squelch the Agitation.

''The ring is smashed, the machine is
broken" So We were told last fall, after
the election, and it has been iterated and
reiterated thousand times since. Well,
as the fact is accepted by all and ques-
toned by none, what is the meaning of all
this continued pother about bosses, man
ayers, rings and machines, which forms
the staple of political agitation in the State? ?
Political circles are in commOtiOn. Some
body suspects somebody else, and somebody
else suspects somebody. So the suspicion
goes round, and the excitement is kept up,
until the present situation of affairs in the
Democratic party has become absolutely
shameful. Let the masses say to these agg-
itators-cease your strife, or else, from the
smashing of rings and machines, we will
turn and smash demagogues and agitators,
who cease not, day nor night, from tanning
the flames of discord and dissension in the
party. Let the masses command the
peace among these disturbing agitators,
with an emphasis that cannot be mistaken.
Let them say to the demon of discord-
clown busy devil, down! p and the exor-
cism will be effected, Who is it that is
keeping up this uproar? They are but a
handful of selfish place-hunters, aided in
their work, chiefly, by two or three Re-
publican journals, and one or two so-called
Democratic and Independent sheets, which
are worse than open enemies. Shall the
Democratic party be kept in perpetual tur-
MOL by such as these? Let an emphatic
NO be heard in all parts of the State,
from the centre to the circumference.
