Western Largeness of Conception

Hon. james G. Blaine, of Maine, must look
to his laurels as an original ifnot wise states
man. He has been eclipsed by luminary in
the West, one Congressman Weller, of Iowa.
Blaine is not disturbed by the enormous sur
plus in the treasury. He would not disturb
the tariff, and would let the government keep
up the tax on whiskey and proportion it out
among the states according to population.
The inequality and injustice of this proposal
were speedily exposed and severely ridiculed.
Mr.. Weller has now come forward with another
scheme to empty the treasury of its surplus,
and to consume any surplus likely to arise
from present or increased tariff duties. He
has formulated it in a bill which he has in
troduced in the House. 1t appropriates
S5OO,OOO,0OO to pay the difference between
greenbacks and gold in the wages of the Union
soldiers during the war, together with interest
on the difference at eight per cent. 1t is evil
dent that there is nothing small about Mr.
Weller. His is large conception; too large,
indeed, for the average congressman, and his
bill will likely remain Enacted upon until
majority of Representatives and Senators are
men of similar largeness of comprehension.
Weller, like John Stewart Mill, is a quarter
of century in advance of his time, If not
more. His constituents should recall him
and keep him home for twenty years, at
l,act

Convict Labor,

The Maryland Penitentiary, We learn from
the annual report of the president and direc-
tors, had last year $50 prisoners and paid
S4, $685. 81 into the state treasury. Four hun
bred and thirty-fou prisoners are hired to
three firms and the others are employed in
various capacities about the institution. An
effort will be made at the present session of
the legislature to abolish the contract system
in the Penitentiary. If this be accomplished
the institution will cost the state from sixty to
seventy thousand dollars annually, instead of
being source of revenue. We could never
see the validity of the objection to convict
labor A convict will not be any better
month after he is set free than he was month
before; yet, when he is discharged he can go
into the market with his labor and compete
with others. Besides, labor is essential to
the good health of the prisoners. They are
not confined for the purpose of shortening
life or of becoming physically reduced, and
the state is bound to care for their health.
Some, who have fallen into sin and vice, by
having no trade or occupation, are taught
trades through this contract system. 1t is
better for the state, for society, that those
aongjets who have no trade, and who must
shortly be tnrped ont into the world again,
should come among the people prepared to
BIO asefnl citizens--to be producers, instead
Of being consamers to live upon the energies
Of others, whose earnings they have, perhaps,
been obtaining uniawfnlly.

The Mutt Trial.

The trial of young Mutt for the murder Of
Dukes at Uniontown, Pa, began at Pittsburg
last Monday. Dukes, it will be remembered,
became involed in quarrel with Capt. Mutt,
father of the accused, about Capt. Nuts
daughter Lizzie. The quarrel developed into
a fight, which took place in Dukes room at
the hotel where he was boarding, and Capt.
Mutt was shot and killed by Dukes. Dukes
was tried and acquitted, although public SEN
timent was much against him and the jury
acquitting him was severely criticised by the
press of the state and country. Emboldened,
perhaps, by public feeling, Capt. Mutt son
shortly after the trial shot Dukes five times
one evening at the postotiice in Cniontown,
Dukes dying almost instantly. For this young
Mutt was arrested and held upon the charge
of murder. The case was removed to Fits
burg, owing to returning reason among the
people of Uniontown and feeling that the
law ought to be indicated against murderers.
Mutt was taken to Pittsburg last Saturday, and
along the route people gathered at the railway
stations to see and applaud him, and at one
place several young women boarded the cars
and presented him with bouquet. A bouquet
was presented to him Monday morning by
some ladies Just after he was brought into
court, but the judge upon the bench had the
good sense to prohibit any more such per-
| formances. The case has been in progress
ever since Monday, the state concluding its
evidence on Tuesday. For the defense Nuts
counsel have Set up the plea of insanity,
and Nuts mother, grandmother and family
physician have all testified to his mental de-
fcency. 1t is thought Mutt will be acquitted
first, because public sentiment in Pittsburg
is in his favor; and second, because one of
the jurors served in the army with and was a
particular friend of his father.
No similar case for years has attracted so
much general attention. No case has been
so generally discussed by the press and the
people, and yet there is nothing remarkable
about it, People have become so much in
terested that nearly every reader of a daily
journal has a decided opinion as to the pro-
per verdict of the jury. Persons who under
stand the case and consider il calmly, how
ever, must come to the conclusion that young
Mutt should either be hung or put in an asy-
lum. If he is sane he should be hung if he
is insane he should be placed where he can.

The Proctectlonist.

The Washington correspondent of the Bal
timore Day thus accurately describes the pro-
tectionist:
They are heartless, brutal and tyrannical.
They will not brook any disagreement with
them, or admit that there can be any differ
ence of opinion. Those who differ from them
are considered knaves or fools, and generally
both They demand protection for them
selves until their production exceeds the de-
mands of a restricted market, and thus they
reduce wages or lock out workmen until,
through the ordinary home consumption, there
comes IA renewed demand Tor their products.
They look upon the inevitable over-produc-
ton and consequent strikes and panIcs winch
accompany protection as something inevitable
and will not listen to any suggestion that per-
haps something may be wrong with the sys-
tenn. So long as they prosper they are lndIt-
ferent who suffers.
The description is good. proctectionist
does not brook difference of opinion. They
are dogmatic and would ride over the people
and the constitution to carry their ends. They
pretend to favor protection in the interest of
labor, and at the same time they care no
more for the laboring man than tor dog.
Protective tariffs insure large profits, and
whenever over production occurs, as it does
every year, they lock out employees without
the least conjunction until the over-plus is
consumed

Three Malone judges in Virginia have re-
signed to escape impeachment. and charges
are pending against two more. Malone sub
ordinated the Judiciary to carry oat his aims,
and partisans were put upon the bench who
could do the most good to Malone and Ma
honeism, regardless of their fitness. Judge
Claiborne, of Franklin county, had never stud.
led law at all, but he was good partisan, and
would make such appointments as would be
ofbeneft to the party. He did his part well,
for only in Franklin county, we believe, did
Malone hold his own last fall. When the day
of reckoning came, however, Claiborne re-
signed to escape impeachment.

One charge which appears in the report of
expenditures by the Clerk of the House of
Representatives for the fiscal year is 1926 for
$50 spittoons or cuspidors. Each one had a
receptacle to himself, and there were one hun
bred and ffty-seven extra ones, and they
were of varied colors-heavenly blue, delicate
pearl, and maroon. During the morning
prayer or while dull speech was being de-
livered, the members no doubt studied the
artistic effect of tobacco juice splattered over
the various hues of the cuspidors, or so much
thereof that did not go on the floor. Splitting,
however, is not gentlemanly accomplish
ment, and our national Legislators must re-
member that if they expect to rate as gentle
men they should not expectorate.

to the Legislature, presented on Wednesday,
commends itself to the attention of the public
as well as to that of the Legislature in series
of measures designed to promote the welfare
of those who labor and harmonic their rela-
tons to capital which employs them. These
measures were transmitted to the General
Assembly, covered in a special message, in
which the Governor fully sets forth the object
he has in view and its great Importance to the
community. He proposes six bills, the SCOPE
of which is to place greater limitations on the
hours of labor of men, women and children
engaged in certain employments; protecting
their health; providing TOR the organization of
trades unions; recognizing the rights of work.

The Protection Fallacy.

These are high tariff times, when labor en-
joys all the protection that can possibly flow
from tariff of the kind, and yet business is
stagnated, iron, cotton, wooden and various
other factories, are closed up, and thousands
of laboring men are out of employment or are
working for reduced wages in all parts of the
country. This state of Things shows the fall
lacy of the arguments for "a high protective
tariff 1t shows conclusively that ''protec-
ton does not protect. If prosperity to the
business interests of the country results from
a high protective tariff, adversely cannot fol-

SATURDAY. JANUARY 10, 1884.
The United States senatorship.

The Maryland Legislature began balloting
on Tuesday last for United States Senator
to succeed Hon. James B. Groome, whose
term expires March 4, 1885. Prior to 1910 it
was custom to elect one Senator from the
Eastern Shore and one from the Western
Shore In 1910 the custom was given the
sanction of law, which has been observed In
choosing United States Senators ever since.
There seems to be disposition now to ignore
the custom and law and to elect Senator
from the Western Shore. The United States
Senate, of course, recognizes no state laws in
Maryland is entitled to two representatives in
that body. and any one qualified by age, &C.,
would be readily admitted. The state law
regulating the selection of United States Sen
tors is one that perhaps should not have been
enacted. 1t might so happen that its opera
ton would be of great disadvantage, but we
do not think that now is the proper time to
change it. Let the law be repealed at this
session, but Mr.. Groome's successor should
first be taken from the Eastern Shore accord
ing 10 It's provisions. we nave mourning W
urge against the selection of any one, provid
ed he is an Eastern Shoreman, sound Dem
ocrat, well qualified, and not no,o an office
holder. We are opposed to the selection of
either Judge Robinson or Judge Wilson.
Each sought and were given places upon the
bench recently for fifteen years, and they
should be content, and should not put the
people to the trouble and expense of electing
n successor and precipitate political judic-
ial contest.
One ballot was taken on Tuesday, two on
Wednesday and four on Thursday, without
result. The Democrats have made no caucus
nomination and members have been voting
promiscuously, some taking occasion to COM
pliment personal friends This looks like
unnecessary delay. The people expect
business session this winter, and the sooner
the election of senator, treasurer and police
commissioner is over the sooner the legisla-
ture will get to work.
