Annapolis Local Improvement AssocIa.
HfOu.

At the recent meeting of the projec-
tors for the Improvement of Annapo-
lis has begun to take definite shape.
At a meeting on Thursday night the
following organization was formed !:
+. b. Mayer, president, j. Writ Ran
dali, secretary, and Julian Brewer,
treasurer. Among the vice presidents
are Professors Marshall Oliver and
Charles e. Monro, ofthe Naval Acad-
emy. Other Naval Academy officers
who own residences in Annapolis are
also members. The association is to
be called "The Local Improvement
Organization of Annapolis y
Committees of finance and member
ship, on sewerage. public squares and
parks, &c, were selected, to report to
the executive committee on those
matters. The idea is to look more
particularly to the beautifying of the
streets and residences; also to con-
slider the transportation facilities, COM
merce and trades of Annapolis. The
first effort to be made is the establish,
ment of a public square near the mar
ket house.

per cent. 1t was also decided to re-
duce the number of employees to the

Down with High Taxe..

The Anne Arundel tax levy will be
made next Tuesday, and it is thought
the present rate of 7S cents will be in
creased. This piece of news is no
sweet morsel for the taxpayers of
Anne Arundel county to swallow,
and will prove not very digestable to
their already sickened and overbur-
dened tax stomachs. 1t is motor
ious fact that this county is one of the
heaviest taxed in the State, and the
people demand that their taxes shall
be reduced, and that speedily. If it
be true that the commissioners are to
prepare the new tax levy on Tuesday
next we would advise them to reduce.

In peace and happiness among their
neigbors in this county. We repeat
down with our already high taxes.

Condition nf the Wnters.

At Pierre, D. T., the ice is breaking up and
running out very nicely, with no gorge.
At Chamberlain, D. T., there are no indi-
cations of gorge. The river is running
clear and falling slowly.
There was also a washout on the narrow
guage road between Caledonia and Caledonia
junction, that delayed the train twelve
hours.
The waters in the rivers of the northwest
and the ice are on the move, and it is gener
ally thought that no damage of consequence
will occur from the movement of either.
The washout that occurred on the Southern
Minnesota road between Rushford and
Lanesboro, is the worst that has occurred for
the last twenty-five years. No passenger
train yesterday came over that part of the
road at all.
The river rose at Bismarck two feet since
Sunday. Coming up very slowly. Ice at
Buford on the Missouri above the mouth OF
the Yellowstone held firm, but below the
mouth has gone but not very far. Certainly
the main body is not on the move.
At Sioux City the water fell six inches dur
ing the night, and yesterday forenoon was
stationary. But little ice is running in the
river. 1t was intended to put in the landing
yesterday afternoon, and the track will be
completed to-day at the upper landing. The

OHIO DEMOCR4TIC STATE.

Garfield is not forgotten in Ohio, nor the
atrocious, stalwart attacks made upon him in
New York in which Arthur joined Conkling,
and which led to the assassination of the la
mented President. The Utica, n. Y. Herald
a leading Republican journal speaks as
truthfully as sharply of Mr.. Arthur, saying:
"After his election to the Vice-Presiden-
cy, he identified himself with an opposition
to Garfeld's administration, and joined in
the movement to humiliate and degrade that
administration
This historic fact is not forgotten and I'M
til it is, and it will not be in this generation
if ever, Arthur can have no majority follow
ing, and with him as a candidate, Ohio
could not be ranked as doubtful state. 1t
would be sure to 60 for the Democratic tick
ct by a large majority. The friends of the
murdered Garfield in Ohio, land the Repub-
licans are all such) remember the Conkling-
Arthur stalwart cabal of 1881 and their acts,
only to despise and hate them. In any
event the Republican friends of Garfield in
Ohio cannot remember but with spirit far
exceeding mere emotion, and will be luke
warm in their support of the candidate of
the malicious stalwart cabal of 1881, and
with. apopular Democratic nominee Ohio need
not be placed in the doubtful column. The
Democratic majority in November will ex-
coed that of Hoadly last year.

meeting was held yesterday in st. Paul
that ordinarily would have been regarded as
important, but at the present time, when
railroads are struggling so hard to get into
this city, the meeting is not looked upon
quite in that light. The GLOBE, has hereto
fore, from time to time given the particulars
OF the progress Of the engineers of the Wis
consin Central road, in starting out their
line. The meeting yesterday was
held for the purpose of con-
sidering the matter of letting that
road into the city over the line of the st.
Paul Il Duluth road. 1t is well known that
the Wisconsin Central win strike the st.
Paul IL Duluth road near Lake Phaleu. ac-
cording to the surveyed line The road wants
to get into this city this season, and there
fore proposed to the st. Paul & Duluth road
directors to come in over that road, with the
expectation of having freighting facilities in
the freight warehouses of the St. Paul %
Manitoba road.
There were present at the meeting Mr.. J.
j. Hill of the st. Paul IL Manitoba road, Mr..
Winter, of the Chicago, st. Paul Il Omaha
road and Mr.. James Smith Jr, of the st.
Paul & Duluth road. The consultation lasted
from 10 O'Clock in the morning till o'clock
in the afternoon. The precise terms were
not fully and completely agreed upon, but it
was settled that the road would for the pres
ent come in that way, and that ii would tran
sact its freight business at the warehouse of
the st. Paul 81 Manitoba road.

COZ. CLETLAYD,S VETO.

Governor Cleveland of New York has sign
ed the bill giving the Mayor of New York
the exclusive power to make appointments to
office, without a confirmation by the board of
aldermen, as heretofore. This act of the
Governor produces no little dissatis faction,
and he is roundly denounced by many Dem
ocratic journals, while the act is generally ap-
proved of by Republican organs. Though
many excited politicians see in this or affect
to see a hurtful breach in the Democratic
party, no serious result will ensue. The act
may or may not, amage Gov. Cleveland,
personally, but will not effect the solidity or
harmony of the party itself. 1t is an act of
the state executive involving only local
municipal matter, and not likely to produce
any inharmonious effects in the general
party.
While some denounce, others see in this
act Of the executive, the nerve of old Hick-
DRY, and applaud the independence and cour-
age of the Governor in being true and fear
less in standing by his convictions of what is
right.
AS far as the general politics of the coun-
try are concerned, and the interests of the
Democratic party, this is only tempest in
a teapot" and will soon blow over. The OPP
ponents Gov. Cleveland says this act of his
cooks his goose" for the Presidency. We
opine he had no Presidential goose to cook.
He is not generally recognized as being in
the category of those from whom selection
is to be made. Be that as it may, he seems
like Henry Clay, to rather be right, or at least
true to his convictions, than be President.
1t is ridiculous to bring every thing, even
a limited, local municipal interest into the
Presidential complication. The Republicans
affect with great glee to see in this ruinous
breach in the Democratic party. But this is
childish. The democratic party is too strong
in its convictions, and too lofty in its views
to be decoyed and diverted from its great,
main purpose, by small, local squabbles.
The reform of the government, and its res
cue from corrupt, and faithless hands is now
the great mission of Democracy, and in this
purpose, it has the sanction and the best
hopes of the people, and cannot be diverted
from its great, supreme mission.

OLEOM4RGARINE.

The GLOBE alluded few days since to the
adulteration of butter SO largely carried on
in certain localities, the ''butterine, ~ the
"oleomargarine" so extensively forced on the
market. This is not only fraud but it has
degenerated into system of production that
is absolutely injurious to health. The extent
of these frauds have been but little known,
and consequently still less realized. The
New York Star says: Without fear of con-
tradiction it may be asserted that two-th ird
of the 'butter'' now in use in this city and
its suburbs, is artificial made out of animal
fat and oils" This is perfectly astounding,
the genuine article is almost drawn from
use by its base, false and injurious imita-
tons.
1t has been palmed off on the public as
genuine butter, driving real and pure but
ter out, and contains an ingredient in it,
nitric acid, positively injurious to health
This substance, nitric acid, is used in rend-
ering lards and fats to prevent putrifaction.
New York is waking up to the enormity
and deleterious character of this adulteration
1t has been brought to the notice of the legisla-
ture, and committee of the senate to whom
the matter was referred, made thorough ex-
animation and came to the conclusion that
the sale of this stuff as substitute for butter
or for alleged butter, was injurious to the
the public health.
The committee could see no way to put a
stop to this evil but by stopping the manu-
facture and sale of this simulated butter.
In accordance with these views the Senate
committee have reported bill to protect the
