Literasv,

''The Story of Genius, the first half
of which is given in The Modern Age for
March, is certainly very powerful piece
of fiction. The identity Of some of the
characters in it has already given rise to
much conjecture on the Continent, and
perhaps some American readers who are
versed in the history of music for the last
half century may be able to solve the mys-
tery. That powerful secret confederation
known as the Fehmgcricht is written Of
in an entertaining way by Louis Barbe;
and Lady Hardy is the author of Under
the Palmetto Flag" adeScription of travel
in South Carolina "Nissa" is thrilling
bit of Oriental experience, and 'Frnn
Antje' is Dutch story, which in its mild
ness and smooth action is characteristic
OF the county where the scene is laid
Seven Year Sleepers" deals death blow
to popular myth; and The Kronprinz' s
Home treats its subject in an interesting
way. The prizes for the first of the Eek
animation Papers" are awarded in this
issue, the best set of answers being sent
by a Maryland lady Boston, Chicago,
Denver and Buffalo are the other prize
winners.
Selections from the poetical works of
Robert Browning, is published by Thomas

The Father of His Country.

On Friday next occurs the anniversary
of the birthday of George Washington, the
father of his country. His is one of those
noble names that was not born to die.
His memory will ever be cherished and
revered, an inspiration to patriotism,
among people who enjoy freedom and
a free government he was foremost in
securing for them. The day is not OBJ
served as a holiday, nor is it often marked
by any commemorative celebration but on
the 29d of February every man, woman
and child in the great repnblic should
bestow at least one loving thought on the
life and character of that great and good
man, and it should quicken within them
the spirit of patriotism and kindle afresh
afresh the best incentives and motives as
American citizens.

MOERISON'S TARIFF BILL.
Two Powerful Republican Journals
Urge Their Party to support it.
From the New York Times,

Regarding the principle and expressed
intention of the bill and if it be found
on examination, not to conform to thcs,
it can be made to do so-it is the PLANES
dictate Of duty and policy to adopt it. I
reduces, though very moderately, yet es-
sentially, the rate of taxation, and it il
all probability would produce a reduction
of the revenue. With surplus OF 800,
900, 900 annually, both the rate and tn,
amount of taxation must be reduced. l
is absurd and wrong for any representa-
tive government to continue such needless
exactions upon those whom it pretends Il
represent. The people have right Il
their own money. in their own pockets
to be used in their own way. No set o
political agents have any right to take i
from them to be expended at the discre-
tion OF the agents and not of taxpayers
This proposition is 50 plain that there cal
be no argument against it.
The Morrison bill is not free trade, an(
opposition to it IS not in any decent sens
the support of protection. The bill! is, il
effect a moderate and conservative at
tempt to deal with the actual and pressin!
needs of the business of the country
BY treating it fairly and intelligent,
the republicans can serve the
country with no harm to their own party
and no decided advantage to their oppo
nents. By blind adherence to the tarif
as it is, exhorbitant and oppressive, par
tial and unjust. they can do themselve!
great their injury and greatly help thei
opponents.
From the Chicago Tribune
If the democrats of the house stand b,
leader and pass bill reducing the tarif
20 per cent. They will put the burden o
responsibility upon the republicans. TIT
bill will then 90 over to the senate, wher
the republicans have nominal majority
Then it will be incumbent upon the re
publicans to accept or reject the proposed
reduction. They will be confronted will
the same excess of the government reve-
nue., the same popular demand for (
reduction of taxes, and certain precedent
set by their own party, which will make
the issue extremely embarrassing. They
will be constrained to admit that the Nor
rison bill makes no more of the reduction
on The whole than the Tariff commission
proposed; that it retains duties at as higl
a figure as the Morrill, tariff, which was
adopted in the face of the war; that thei
own party in a previous congress adopted
the same horizontal plan of reducing the
Tariff, then taking off 10 per cent. l: i
scarcely conceivable that under thes
circumstances the republican senate vii
dare to reject proposition of tax produc
ton coming from the democratic house, |
it shall do SO the republican party will b.
obliged to go before the people as tn
opponent of tax reduction in presiden-
tial struggle which is doubifu! at tn
best.

is universally conceded throughout
country that much of The success gain
~ the Democracy at the p lis on last
sday week was due to the ski'lfu lead
ip and untiring energy Of Marylands
te and popular Senator-A. P. Cor
b. This gentleman his brought the
nocracy Of Maryland successful ly thro
by hard fought bate, and similar
tics and generalship employed in a
ader field has reaped is reward. In
aking of him one of our exchanges has
following, which will be acquiesced
by all good Democrats:
or the grand victory achieved at the ballot
last Tuesday probably no one man in the
ole country is entitled to more praise than
D. Arthur P. German, Of Maryland.
AS the chairman of the National Executive
nmittee be had the chief part in the ma ge-
this most wonderful campaign-a campaign
ght under the most adverse circumstances :;
which not only the ability, the Gun ing
b the cnpidity of ambitious political aspirants
the Presidency and other high places exer-
led their high gifts; but added thereto was
e countless hords of Office holders, whose
lip upon the nations purse knows no " ct
)" and the swarms of peculators aud con-
actors, whose illegal gains and thievings have
urred our country's fair name in the eyes Of
e whole civilized world.
Again, Mr. German had to contend against
corruption fund such as was never known in
~ political campaign. A corruption fund
artling in magnitude and unscrapulously ap-
led
But with the determination of hero, the de-
,tion of a martyr, and the wisdom and skill
a veteran he entered upon the herculean
SIX. The great October battle first evinced
s consummate skill and the general results of
e whole campaign in the doubtful States"

A host OF noble men bore the banners Of the

The recent presidential election in all
its aspects is high compliment to the
popular judgment. First. the people have
rebuked the party that has assumed to
make the government stronger than the
people" by turning it out of power aud
placing the party of popular rights and
economical government at the helm Sec
ond, the temperance people of the country
have visited we'll deserved punishment
upon the Republican party for its insin-
cere tampering with the advocates of that
cause, and last but not least the people
have evinced correct appreciation of the
false old pretender, Ben Butler, by bot
tling him up forever in perpetual disgrace
and oblivion. Verify after such splendid
manifestations of the popular Judgment as
this we are inclined to cordially endorse
the sentiment "the voice of the people is
the voice of God"

Prohibition has received quite check
in this State in the elections that have been
held during this year. As already an
nounced it was defea ed in Prince Georges
and Garrett counties, as we'll as in Wash
ing'on county. 1t was defeated in Dublin
district of Somerset county, and carried in
1nkwood district OF Dorchester county
It was resubmission of the question in
rrince Georges county, where prohibition
had previously prevailed. On the 10th of
August last prohibition was defeated in
St. Mary's county. On the 9th of July it
was defeated in Chapel district of Talbot
county. In this county the question is to
again voted upon August 4'h, 1885, which
Will Dc TIA last Of the series of local op
'tlen & sctions authorized by the Legisla-
ture of 1884. Prohibition OF the sale OF
liquor prevails in Howard, Anne Arundel
Hartford, Calvert, Caroline, Cecil, Dorches-
ter, Kent, Montgomery and Talbot, also in
all but one district of Somerset and Queen
Anne's counties, and in scattering locali-
ties elsewhere.

An exchange in giving some sober and
timely advice to the colored voters has the
following: During the campaign just
closed the Republican orators, when among
co!ored people, had much to say about the
obligations colored voters owe to the Re-
publican party, and the treason to graft
tude they commit by voting for Democrats.
The fact is, the Republican managers
would, tomorrow, if they could, deprive
the colored voters of the franchise, in case
they abandoned the Republican party. In
Washington City they did SO. When the
co!ored voters there showed disposition
of independence, and gave evidence that
they did not desire to be governed by the
Republican managers, the Republican
Congress deprived the people of that city
of the right to vote and choose their own
officers. White and colored suffered alike
but the Congress had to cut the whites off
as we'll, in order to get at the colored voter.
There is NO doubt that the Republican
managers would do the same everywhere
if the colored voters should revolt against
