Ir seems that 1S83 is not only to stand conspicuous for disasters il tho 19.h cent- ury, but in the whole long roll of centuries. It is appalling to read of sudden removal from life of 100000 people, even though living at our antipodes. At this rate the earth will soon lose the confidence of al existing upon it, or at least of those who survive to experience such loss.

 Professor Moses Stuart Phelps, of North. ampton, Mass, accidentally shot himself dead at Chamberlain lake, Maine, last week Wednesday. He was putting gun into canoe, when it was discharged, sending load of buckshot into his head, killing him instantly. He was in compa- ny with Rev. Newman Smith and O. W. Farnham, of New Haven. Professor Phelps was about 36 years old, and was the son of Professor Austin Phelps, of An dover, and brother of the writer, Eliza beth Stuart Phelps. He was grandson of Andover's famous Professor Moses Stuart, and from him derived his Christian name. He was educated at Yale and stud jed for the ministry at Andover. He will be remembered by many in StaffordSprings as having on tive or three occasions sup piled the Congregational pulpit.

 A HORRIBLE CRIME was committed in Stratford, in this state, last Monday even ing. A Mrs. Rose Clark Amber, a young woman, left her fathers house in the early evening, and not returning was supposed to be. spending the night with the mothsl of the young man to whom she was en- gagged, as she was frequently in the habit of doing. Next morning her dead body was found in lot beside the road, with marks and tracks indicating that she had been attacked by two or more men and carried some distance. She had evidently fought for life and honor, and had suffered most brutal treatment, being finally choked to death. All the evidences point to a most fearful struggle. There was a look of intense agony on her face, and above the right eye swelling, which indicated that her attempts to rise. had been frus- trated by brutal blow with fist Hel lips were parted, and blood and foam were ly cut, and an earring was was found near her, to which hung piece of flesh. The ornament had either been deliberately wrung from her ear or had been torn of during the struggle. There were blood stains on her collar and cuffs, and two fin gers were mangled, evidently by mans teeth. From one of them the nail was torn and it hung by shred of skin. The dead woman was 26 years old. Some few years ago she married Norman E. Amber
 Old Farms, from whom she obtained : divorce about a year ago, after his deser ton of her. By him she had one child, : daughter, now three years old, who lives with its grandmother Amber, in Stratford Lately she has been keeping company witt William Lewis, and was to have married him th1s fall. He was building house into which they expected to move as soor as the wedding trip was over. She was il the habit of going from her fathers dow1 to the village to meet young Lewis, and i was her custom to return alone, as her af fianced was obliged to rise very early il the morning and set out for Birmingham where he worked, and she did not wisl him to go that distance at a late hour. Sh. was strong, young and active, and knew no fear. When she was warned that i was dangerous for her to travel the roai alone at night, she laughed, and, although her lover invariably pressed her to allow him to accompany her, she would not con sent. The assailants, therefore, could scarcely have gotten away without some marks of the fight, for from the appear ances she must have fought hard for hel

What of It.

McLane, the governor-elect of Maryland,
began feeding off the Government as cadet
at West Point when he was seventeen years
of age. and, with one or two intermisslons,
has been in the continuous pay of Uncle Sam.
Pierce made him minister to China, and Bu-
chanan sent him to Mexico in the same capa-
city He has been eight years in Congress,
and has spent several terms in the Maryland
House of Delegates. His father before him
was twice minister to England, and served
in the National House of Representatives ten
years from Delaware, and two years in the
Senate. He was also secretary of war, and
also secretary of state under jackson, and
during his life must have received large
fortune for personal services from the United
States Philadelphia Press.
Well what Of it? Robert NJ. McLane was
cadet at West Point just as was Grant, Sher-
man, Hancock and others. He rendered the
government military service just as they did.
He was so learned as military man that he
was sent to Europe to make some investiga-
tons for this government. His appointment
as Minister to China and his election to Con-
gress and the Legislature were testimonials to
his ability and attainments, and his record is
clean through all his long service. There are
no ill-gotten gains in his pockets. No credit
mobilier stock was issued in his name. He
did not vote the public domain away to rail
road corporations. He was not interested In
Jobs nor was he connected with any of the
schemes to rob and plumber the treasury.
Can the Press say as much for Grant, Colfax,
Blaine, Garfield and many other prominent
men of its own party who were long connect
ed with public affairs? Can the Press point
to any black spots upon the character of Rob
ert McI.ane's father? No, not one.

Maryland and the Presidency.

The Westminster Adrocdte is greatly mis-
taken when it says Maryland is solid for the
nomination of Tilden and Hendricks as the
Democratic standard bearers in 1884. 1t the
wishes of the Democratic voters of this State
are fairly represented in the next national
convention the one thing certain about Mary
lands vote is that it will not be given for the
old ticket Baltimore Day.
Upon what ground does the Day say the
ADVOCATE is mistaken, and upon what knowl-
edge does it base its assertion that Maryland S
vote will not be given for the old ticket2 The
Democrats of Carroll are practically unani-
nous for the nomination of Tilden and Hen
bricks. Reports from other counties and from
individuals, several of power and influence in
the party, indicate that the great majority OF
the party favors the old ticket. The Day is
for Bayard against the feld-irst, last and all
the time, and Mr.. Bayard is popular with the
Democracy of Maryland, especially on the
Eastern Shore. He is an able statesman,
and would be second choice, perhaps, of the
Maryland delegation. 1t is possible Mr.. Til
den would not accept nomination, but he is
the strongest man that could be nominated.
He could infuse more enthusiasm and activity
in the Democratic party than any other candi-
date. and he should be rendered the nomina-
ton unanimously. At all events, unless ne
peremptorily refuses to again lead to victory
as he did in 1876, Maryland's eight eswill
be recorded for the nomination of the old
ticket

Meeting Of Congress.


Congress convenes next Monday, the Demo-
Gratis taking control of the lower house.
Great interest is manifested in the selection of
Speaker, there being three leading candidates,
several who have only limited followings, and
any number Of dark horses Randall,
Carlisle and Cox are all hopeful Each esti-
mates that he will have enough to elect but
two, IL not all, Of them must have counted too
many. C;,rSisIeis from Kentucky, is opposed
to protective tariffs, and will no doubt lead in
the race. Randall, of Pennsylvania, is pro-
tectionists, while Cox, of New York, is more
conservative than either. While tariff for
revenue is the only correct principle, yet such
tariff at this time is not practicable. It
cannot be for some years, and the tariff ques-
ton has been given too much prominence in
the canvass for Speaker. The government
revenue is too great, even with the extrava-
CANT and unwarranted expenditures, by nearly
a hundred and fifty millions annually. The
collection of that enormous surplus is unjust
and burdensome, and reduction of taxation
is demanded. Adjustment of the internal
revenue will about abolish the surplus and
will save the five millions itcosts to collecti it,
besides getting rid of five thousand office
holders and the nquisitorial methods pertain
ing to the internal revenue system. The IN
ternal revenue system should be abolished,
and is about all that Congress should do at
the approaching session in the way of reduc-
ing the revenues. Expenses of government
can and should be reduced. Beyond this the
finances should not be disturbed. This seems
to be the idea of the more conservative peo-
pie Of the country, and Congress would be
wise if they pursue a conservative course.
In view Of this, it seems TO US that the tariff
views Of the Speaker are not of very much
importance, but since the tariff has been made
an issue, let conservative man be chosen.
The Democratic advocate. [volume] (Westminster, Md.) 1865-1972, 1883-12-01

The official vote of New York is now known,
and it shows that the average Democratic
majority on four of the five candidates was
1857. The Democratic majorities are =
Chaplin 1928, Maxwell 1891, O'Brien
1866, Sweet 24,S1s. Carr, Republican,
for secretary of state, who was supported by
the liquor dealers, received 1888 majority
The Democrats have the governor, comptroller,
treasurer, state engineer and attorney general,
and the Republicans the secretary of state.
Thus, of the six state officers, five of them are
Democrats. Two years ago the Republicans
elected their candidates for secretary of state,
comptroller, treasurer, attorney general and
state engineer by about $4,000. The Demo-
Gratis this year elected all of these except sec
rotary of state by an average majority of about
10000 This shows change of about "a, 900
votes, and that the Republican party must go.
