The Philadelphia Times, probably
che ablest Democratic paper in. the
country, warningly says: "The
Democratic newspapers are flooding
the country with Presidential candi-
dates for 1884. The Democratic news
papers had better devote their undi-
vided attention for some time to
come to the task of teaching the al
legged Democratic statesman not to
make first-class fools of themselves.
A few more Bourbons of the Brown.
VOORHEES,. Vest stripe will render a
Democratic candidate for the next
Presidential contest entirely unnec-
essary. The wheels of progress will
move right alone. without regard to
Democratic candidates or Democratic
statesmen, but if the Democratic par
ty is to reap any portion of the honor
for having helped along the new re-
form era it will need to a straight
Jacket on some of its alleged states
men. Let the Democratic Senators
and members of Congress do some
thing practical in the way of the re-
forms demanded by the people, and
there will be time enough to select
the candidate by and by"

in New York. 1t would be a real
disaster. He is not identified in any
way with the party. He has recog-
nized nobody, but has SET up his sole
will as the Pentateuch for party gov
ernment. and whenever this has been
disregarded he has sneeringly cast
aside well-meant advice. Claiming
to be opposed to dictation in politics,
he has attempted a dictatorship more
complete than that of Napolean."
The greatest sensation in political
circles since cold weather has set in
has been the absolute retirement of
Mr.. George Cotton from politics. He
wrote his own yaledictory and it was
both graceful and sensible. While
he admitted no laches on his part,
he saw that there was stormy oppo-
sition to the old men-ofwar, and
like the man he has always proved
himself to be, he advised that the
old ships be dismantled and laid up
in ''rotten row" to give the newer
patterns fair trial. He will always
take an interest in the affairs of his
party, and should an emergency oc-
cur "Old Ironsides" can soon be plac-
ed in commission. Mr.. Cotton has
been the best abused of any of the
politicians in Maryland, and with as
little reason. Whenever he has oc-
cupied position he has filled it faith
fully and honestly, and he has from
his own private purse aided more
young but poor aspirants for political
honors than any other dozen men in
the State, Nor have his charities
been confined to politics. Very few
churches or charitable enterprises in
the counties have not been the recip-
tents of his bounty. The retirement
of Mr.. Cotton is more significant than
at first glance might be supposed.
He remains at the lead of the Police
Board. He now has no inducement
to shirk his duties, and all parties can
rely on perfectly fair elections in Bal
timore. While it was said above he
was the best abused man, it was not
intended tt assert that such was mer-
tied. In all the offices that he has
yet filled neither fattery on the one
side nor threats on the other have
aYailed to turn him from the strict
path of duty.

Most Wonderful.

Very seldom do we read of an &C
tual case of recovery, where hope had
altogether been lost, to equal that
which was on Monday investigated
bya Dispatch reporter who had heard,
In various quarters, persons talking
to their friends of cure, seemingly
little short of miraculous, that had
been performed. VIM. Lincoln Curtis
is the name of the young man in
question. He is now employed at
III. K. Porter & Co.'s Locomotive
Works, Pittsburgh. His disease was
Chronic Rheumatism. The enormous
swelling and pain in the joints of his
arm soon produced paralysis of his
left arm. He gradually grew worse,
his ankles and knees were soon even
worse than his arms, his cheek bones
began to enlarge, spreading his face
out of all resemblance to his former
self. Two physicians pronounced
him hopeless. PerunG cured him.

down, with an occasional pitch into
the snow banks or the cutters. The
merry laughter of these pleasure
seekers, mingled with the cheerful
jingle of the sleigh bells filled the
night air with this music OF fun and
jolIity that fell pleasantly upon the
ear. The greatest animation pre-
vailed on the Avenue, which seemed
TO be the favorite drive of the sleigh
riders, and the fun was kept up into
night. The sidewalks were lined
with spectators, who watched the
swiftly gliding sleighs, filled with gay
parties, and seemed to extract a great
deal of pleasure from it. The devices
employed to rig uD some sort OF a
contrivance that would go on rum
ners were calculated to excite the adj
miration of the spectators, and in
some cases their laughter. Looks
were regarded as nothing, as long as
the thing would 60. Accounts from

The social event of the last week was

The Bonded Whisky bill was pas

The Bonded Whisky bill was pas
sed in the Senate, Thursday week.
by a vote of % to 20. This is meas
ure to extend for two years the pay
ment of tax on some eighty-five mil
lions of gallons which distiIlers, chief
ly in Tennessee, have manufactured
in advance of the demands of con-
sumers. While it is perfectly true
that if people will drink whisky it is,
better that they should drink it five
years old than when newly manufac-
tured, it is not at all clear that the
people of the United States who do
not drink whisky should be taxed to-
pay for improving tn, quality OF the
liquor of those who do. The distil-
lers who have gone into an .over-pro-
duction equal to six years demand
did so with their eyes open. The
presumption is that they had some
exceptional temptation in the way of
cheap raw material or of very large
prospective profits to urge them to
take the risk. It is all very well to-
pay interest at the rate of per cent.
on the extended tax of 80 cents on the
gallon, but it would be interesting to-
know the precise relation between
the shrinkage in bulk and apprecia.
ton in value of the fiye-year. old
spirit. The importer who pays So a
gallon on the product of foreign dis.
tillers is not permitted TO matare his
brandy, whisky, or gin at the public

The Easton Ledger (Dene.) discus
SEES the situation of the Democratic
party in this State with force and
courage, and says:
The people who rebelled against
the political machine by staying away
from the polls, or by voting for an
opposition ticket in 1881 or 1882. will
do the same thing over again in 1888,
if the nominations of 1888 are either
Objectionable in themselves or are
made in an Objectionable manner.
Democrats have shown during the
last two years that they are no longer
afraid of cutting a ticket. boiling a
nomination and doing just exactly as
they please.

State Finances.

Our thanks are due Comptroller T.
j, Heating for copy of his Annual
Report of the Treasury Department,
to the Governor of Maryland, for the
fiscal year ending Sept. 30th, 1882.
From this report we gather the fol-
lowing facts: The receipts into the
Treasury for the year were 1,724,-
491 Al, less than the year previous by
the sum of $72,156.61. The balance
in the Treasury proper at the end of
the year was S63S, 506.63. In addition
to this sum there was cash to the
credit of the free school fund, SIS, $780,
Al. and to the credit of the sinking
fund $495.46, making a total in the
Treasury in cash of S657 ,522.62- The
investments during the year, in the
bonds of the State, amount to $685.
2S9.18. of which S25,S90 were placed
to thecredit of the General Sinking
Fund. and S;62 ,399.lS, in the Treas
ury Relief Sinking Fund. The State
debt, for which interest is to be pro-
vided, is Sl1 1853, O3l.7s, of which
$40l ,529.1S have been, in fact, paid in
advance and deposited in the sinking
funds. The revenues of the State last
year from all sources were 81 1924, 4S1.-
81. The whole disbursements for the
year were S2.O38, 1913.

A Vital Educational Need.

Macaulay wrote wisely on the eff
fects of the potato as a nations food
as contrasted with those produced
by roast beef. Who will write not
only wisely, but scientifically, of the
effects of drenching a nation with
alcoholic stimulants for successive
generations The human race, under
such treatment, is deteriorating gen.
GRAFTON after generation, A Scotch
gentleman said to tourist who was
visiting that land of heroic deeds ::
"Scotch whisky is destroying my
people. They are no longer the
hardy race they once were" Might
not the same thing be said of the
English ? and Americans suffer no
less, while the Germans by beer are
being converted into new type of
man.
Yet, while nations are perishing
the schools Of the nation are silent
about their destroyer and destruc-
ton. A hundred years ago our
fathers struggled for National lnde-
pendence and won it by their blood.
Patriotism put the story into every
text book where it could be told or
referred to, and as a result largely of
that fact the children grew up gen.
GRAFTON of patriots. A more terrible
enemy than the armies of George
III, has invaded our beautiful coun-
try, and is nowin almost full possess
sion of our territory and our institu-
tions. The schools should again
serve their county by training every
boy and girl to hate and oppose the
invader, and help expel him from the
land.
Is it in any sense right to send the
boys out without one word of warn
ing to meet the worst of enemies-a
foe disguised pretending ever to be a
jovial harmless friend. Unless he is
rightly taught he will refuse to be-
lieve that the bland deceiyer is his
foe. FIe will laugh at his mothers
fright and wonder at the fervor of the
preacher. He will not believe that
there is danger; will not be on his
guard. He will not fight his and his
country's enemy, but will pet him,
and confirm the captor's power by
his thoughtless vote. All this he
will ignorantly do, and we will be
to blame tor not having required
that he should be rightly instruct
ed. Had he been taught from the
beginning the nature and effects of
alcohol, the result would be different.

History does not antedate the exis

History does not antedate the exis-
tence of wheat. 1t was not found
however, in America at the period of
her discovery, but soon was brought
over from Europe. A slave of Cortez,
it is said, found few grains in some
rice sent from Spain, preserved and
planted them, and thus originated the
wheat of Mexico and the Northern
Pacific. 1t was brought to Massachu-
sets in 1902, and to Virginia in 1911.
The valley of the Mississippi received
it in 171S. and the first flour was
shipped in 1746, from the Wabash
River to New Orleans. Such was the
beginning of trade whose greatness
and importance it is now difficult to
estimate.

A Physicians Story.

Among the papers left behind him
by Gurman physician who died a
few weeks ago is one containing notes
of certain conclusions he had arrived
at during professional experience
of more than forty years, In one of
these notes he expresses an opinion
that at least third of the illnesses OF
the patients who sought his advice
were purely imaginary. He found
it not only against his own interest,
but also against that OF the self-alleg.
ed sufferers, to destroy the Illusion
by informing them that there was
really no cause for anxiety. Ill
health was to them a matter of al
most vital Importance. To destroy
the pleasing belief that they possess
ed this blessing was an absolute cruel
ty. In the few instances in which he
broke to them the terrible truth that
they were quite well he found that the
result was genuine illness. For the
patients, all interest in life departed
with the favorite occupation of nurs-
Ing themselves, and their health be-
came seriously affected by nervous
depression. He also found that, as a
rule, weakly persons live longer than
strong ones. Without going so far as
to say that the best lives are those re-
jected by the insurance offices, he
thought nevertheless that person
wath "screw loose" more often at
tain longevity than those in whom
no trace of disease can be detected.
