SPOTS ON THE SUN.

I
 The New York Sun is, so to speak, in a
 state of mind. In the first place things are
 in bad way at Albany. There the Demo-
 cratic statesmen, instead of going in for
 reform, are going in for jobs. The Sun is very hard on them indeed. It asks if ..the Democratic majority in this Legislature is
 largely made up of fools,'' and whether it is
 incapable of learning anything from expert
 ence, and hints that its more appropriate
 spheres might be found in lunatic asylum
 There is nothing new in this view of the case The only remarkable thing about it is that it has taken the Sun that has shone on the Democracy for these nes5 yeazs So long to find it out.
 But the trouble at Albany is not the Suns
 greatest grief. While many of the Demo cratic statesmen in the Assembly are without any principles to speak of the party gen. orally has got more of them than it can con-
 veniently carry. It has foolishly gone heels over head into a discussion of the tariff. The Sun is not 8 little scared and very much disgusted. It has actually found out that there are g lot of Democrats who care more about the tariff question than they do about winning the next presidential election. Some even who would rather be beaten than give up talking about it. This is really very alarming. It must be confessed, too, that it is strikingly new. To find out that the Democracy cares for anything more thar to get into office is 8 very important discovery, and it seems to be very painful one. The Sun is quite frantic about it. Meanwhile, what is to be done ? it asks. "Is all hope of electing Democrat ic President to expire in 8 general gush of verbosity ?" 'sMust the Democracy be brok- en into fragments in dispute about an ab- straction, an unreality, an indeterminate doctrine which cannot be applied in prac- tice2 2' This is rather novel view of the tariff question. But, then, queer views on that subject are not new in the Democratic party. General Hancock discovered that the tariff was local question, and now the Sun says it is an abstraction" and an t'un- reality" It seems to have entertained some hopes of the next presidential election and it is not unnaturally provoked to find genuine Democrats ready to throw away for lean stabstraction'' so much real fat within their possible reach.
 The Suns fears do not appear to be alto gether groundless. There are Democrats in the South and West who do not look upon the tariff question as an abstraction, and are discussing it just as though it was not s'an indeteriminate doctrine that could not be applied in practice The storms in the Sun will not probably have any effect on the po- litical weather. Real questions cannot be put down. The tariff question is about the only live issue now before the people and, as the Sun fears, it is pretty likely to deter election

From the Omaha (Neb.) Bee
 It was the last night of the Maddern en gagement. The Boyd Opera House was filling rapidly. A trio of young gentlemen had just ascended to the landing of the mar ble stairway, and were approaching the flight which leads to the entrance, when 8 young lady, richly attired and accompanied by g matronly lady, exclaimed, "There he is, mann maj" The three young gentlemen turned As they did so the elderly lady approached and addressing one of them, requested him to step with her to the reception room. Within the room the matronly lady said !: ssMr Nolan, I am delighted to meet you, and desire to cancel debt of gratitude for which I have long been in arrears My daughter tells me it was you who saved her life some years since in the mountains of Colorado. She thought she recognized you at the hotel to-day, and now she is positive you are the man, indeed. If you will kindly accept this little souvenir of my appreciation of your ex- ceed1ng heroism you will place me under even more heartfelt gratitude"
 Mir H. W. Nolan is not a bashful man, be- cause he is a lawyer and a Chicagoan. Nor is his modesty of that Omahan nature which would prevent him from wearing the beauti- ful solitaire diamond which he feelingly &C., cepted on this occasion. If the gentleman at all faltered it was because of the languish ing effect the young lady's grateful yet mod est glances had upon him, presumably be- cause of the proprietary right exercised over them by gentleman present who was then introduced as the young lady's husband The scene was short one, and upon it's conclusion all adjourned to their respective seats in the auditorium.
 Seven years ago Mir. Nolan was prospect ing in the mountains He was climbing circuitous road to mining camp when 8 runaway horse, to which clung frightened and poWerless lady rider, and which had run away from a party of equestriennes and their escorts, came galloping rapidly toward him. At a bend in the road both rider and animal would have been dashed to destrue C. tion, 8 thousand feet below. At the FISK Of his life. he reached the bridle of the horse as it flying past him. n and in shSrt Rotb barss tis corts soon came up and bore their member home. Mir. Nolan had not time nor inclina- ton to accompany them and pose as rescuer, and consequently continued his journey. He soon staked beyond the divide, and never heard whom he had rescued. After years of absence and separation, all the parties met here as transients as above related.

The Navy.

From the Ne,c York San:
In responding to toast to the navy, at the
banquet given in Washington to the Society
of the Army of the Potomac, Admiral Rod
gers said:
1--WE have not one large and efficient ship of war,
and our few good soops not of the best type SO
far as know, we have not one very GOOD gun OF
even moderate caibre on shore or attoat and, what
is worse fear have not the trained artisans and
the FORCES to mai Ike them.
These facts do not reveal the whole truth in
regard to the condition of the navy. The
Secretary in his last report stated that there
were thirty-seven available cruising war
vessels" namely, one frst-rate, fourteen
second-rates, and twenty-five third rates.
Thirty-one of these ships were then in com
mission. Congress voted money enough to
support 1877 officers of different grades.
That would be about fifty officers to each
Ship and one officer to every five seamen.
Including the retired list of sol, there are
2,119 officers in the navy, 1914 seamen, and
$50 apprentices. In the Marine Corps there
are II commissioned officers on the active
list, ID on the retired list, 500 non-commis-
stoned officers, and 500 privates. The whole
naval establishment cost last year Sl5,O32,
046.26. The actual running expenses OF this
sham navy of thirty nearly worthless
ships, as compared with the cost of the for
midable navies of England and France, are
astounding when the inefcency of the one
is contrasted with the enormous power of the
others.
Our navy has fallen to its present disgrace
full condition through corrupt management
Congress has treated the service with great
liberaity. Beginning with 1867, two years
after the close of the civil war, and including
1882, the annual appropriations have aggre-
gated 1926, 1897, 185.
During the eight years of Secor Robson S
rule successive Republican Congresses voted
him SIT 1881 sos, or more than twenty-five
millions year. Investigations have shown
where great deal of that money went. II
was stolen by thieves.
The abuses which have demoralized the
navy seem to flourish still in full vigor. Mr..
John F. Dezendorf, Republican member OF
the last Congress, in an open letter to the
President, says:
1.-THE abuses in the navy yard lat Norfolk are fla
grant and outrageous violations of the laws and reg
uatons governing that department, and account
in some measure for the excessive cost OF the WORK
done on the Pinta, recently repaired at that yard
call your special attention to this vessel, tug Of
306 tons. She has had expended on her more than
500 900 for repairs. am satisfied and can prove
that during the Congressional campaign last fall
men were borne upon the rolls and paid for work
weeks at time who did not put a foot inside the
navy yard or do ali hours work there
Since Mr.. Dezendorf letter was written
the Pinta has been condemned by Board OF
Inspection as unfit to make voyage to the
Pacific through the Straits of Magellan.
1t will require something more than plain
tive appeal from Admiral Rodgers to get an
old fashioned Robesonian appropriation from
the next House of Representatives.

Taxes in the Counties.


The Democratic editors from the counties
have had a special meeting in Baltimore, and,
with the view of raising boom for their par
ty. have issued an address to the public. In
This. they endcavoP to build up an argument
in favor of the economical character oil Dem,
ocratic management of county finances, based
ON the low rate of taxation which, they CLAIM,
exists i'm their counties as compared with those
under Republican management. 10 make
such an argument, however, valuable, they
should furnish information as to the character
of the roads in these counties, the nature and
fitness of the public buildings, viz: The Jalls,
court houses and alms-houses, the general
condition of the people, white and BLACK, as
regards thrift, intelligence, &c., and the
amount of money invested in railroads, &C.
Frederick Examiner, Republican.
Carroll adioins Frederick, and in char
acter of soil is very similar. The tax rate
in Carroll for all county purposes is and
has been for a number of years fifty cents
on the 500. In Frederick, for all county
purposes, it is, we believe, eighty-six and
three-quarter cents-a difference in favor
of Carroll of hirty-st.r and three-quarter
cents. For the needs of the county, Car
rolls public buildings are as good as those
of Frederick. The Aims House of Carroll
is ample, well and economically managed,
whilst the Jail has just been partly rebuilt,
and the court house has just been enlarged
and made tire-proof. The public roads OF
Carroll are equal to those of Frederick, and
her bridges are substantial and numerous
The citizens of Carroll, white and black,
are equally as intelligent, happy and pros
porous as those of Frederick. Some per-
sons. familiar with both counties, think
that the citizens of Carroll are more en-
1ightened and prosperous community. With
only about three-ffths of the population OF
Frederick. Carroll has 125 school houses,
while Frederick has but ISL. In the same
ratio as Carroll, Frederick should have over
200. Frederick has 1877 teachers who re-
ceive an average salary of S251 per year
Carroll has 125 teachers who receive an
average salary of S270 per year On
basis of S25 ,265, 100 the public schools Of
Frederick are given s25, 265.79; on a basis
of$16,OOO, 600, in round numbers, S2l ,OOC
are given to the cause of education in Car
roll. IF Carroll was not more liberal thar
Frederick to the public schools, she would
give only about SIG 900, instead of S21 900
As to investments in railroads, Carol
has none as a county, yet fce railroads rul
through its territory, while Frederick cal
count but three running on her soil. How
individual money is invested we cannot say
but the levy shows that the people OF Gar
roll have more of this worlds goods pc
capita than those of Frederick. And, MIR
Eraminer, Carroll is Democratic, and will
so remain. Frederick is ruled by K pub
licans. but if her citizens are wise they will
change to Democratic rule.

Maryland Politics.

The Belair Times, Rep says the action
of the Democratic city convention was more
in the interest of harmony than had been ex-
pected.
At the municipal election at Cumberland
on Monday Democrats and Republicans each
carried three wards The new council with
holding over members, will stand seven Dem
oerats to four Republicans. The vote shows
gain of 100 for the Democrats
The Baltimore San says: The acceptance
by the Young Democrats of the commission
Of five appointed by the late city convention
to appoint primary judges and clerks as uRr
exceptionable, and their expressed intention
of going into the primaries to work for the
nomination of such men as will dignity the po-
sitions they are to fill, must be interpreted as
conclusive evidence that harmony again pre-
walls in the Democratic party in this city.
The prospectus of the Baltimore Vindica-
tor, to be published exclusively in the interest
of the eolOred people, has been circulated.
1t is to be under the control Of the Vindicator
Publishing Company. They pFsRaise that it
shall contend for non.paFtisan state and mq-
nicipal government; for the abolition Of what
they call the black law of Maryland; for col.
ored teachers in public schools, and that it
will be an independent, non partisan journal
in its advocacy of peoples rights.
The Oakland Democrat says: The harmo-
nious action Of tbe Democratic convention
which met in Baltimore last week has sent a
thrill of joy and confidence through the De-
moeraey of the state. The only persons soured
over the result reached are the Republicans.
They anxiously looked for result that would
insure them victory at the pext election, and
80 bitter il their disappointment that they
have turned, saake-lke, from their enemy
and are devouring themselves.

The action of the Baltimore city con-
yention in selecting Gilmore Meredith, W.
II B. Fusselbaugh, Findlay II. Burns,
James l.. McLane and Bernard Carter to
select officers to hold primary elections in
that city has given universal satisfaction.
The Baltimore Day, Whyte, German, Col
ton. all hail the action as promising fair
primaries. and the Baltimore SIN believes
the selections to be of the very best. MIR.
James Hodges, the Governors especial
champion in Baltimore, is still little du-
bious, perhaps because he was not consult
ed in the matter The Democratic press
of the state, with one accord, view the ac
ton of the convention with pleasure, as it
insures unity and harmony among the city
Democracy and insures Democratic success
in the approaching campaign. Only the
Hagerstown Mail, which is pleased at moth
ing done in the party except what Cover
nor Hamilton does, is dissatisfied. Here
is its view
1t must be remembered that it is not in
having gentlemen upon such a commission
that there is any security in having fair judges.
The supervisors of election at times were all
gentlemen and yet under the same gentle
manly supervisors the most scandalous Judges
were appointed and the most scandalous cleo
tons were held.
The Mail is chronic grumbler. So
much so that its fealty to the party and its
principles are doubted. There has certain
ly been but little Democracy in it for some
time, and we don't recollect that it put
forth any Herculean efforts to elect the
last state ticket.
The Democratic advocate. [volume] (Westminster, Md.) 1865-1972, 1883-05-26

The Rockville Adrocate says the senti-
ment of Montgomery county Democrats
this year is almost unanimously in favor of
an untrammclcd delegation to the state
nominating convention of sound and repre-
sentative men, who will weigh the situation
and cast their votes with intelligence, and
not delegation named, owned and con
trolled by one man. That is the right sen
timent. The Democrats of every county
should favor such delegations. Pledged
delegates, or delegates owned by any one,
are not the kind to consult for the best in
tcrcSts of the party.
