A. DEMOCRATIC SCARE.

For the first time in many years the unexpected
happened in the Legislature at Annapolis, on
Friday of last week. The occasion was the sud-
den termination of the Senatorial struggle by the
election of Judge Wilson, of Worcester county,
successor to the Hon. James B. Groome in the
Senate of the United States. The State managers
were coqueting with the various aspirants as a
blind to their real purpose while they were ma
turing their plans for the election of their avorite
to that exalted position. They desired to have
their choice made as smoothly as possible. No
one was to be made sensible of their determined
opposition to any of the Democratic candidates.
While they pulled the wires from behind the scenes
and excited the personal rivalries of the candi-
dates against each other, they quietly contempla-
ted the prospective result they had arranged for
with the GOODNESS of veteran stage men. But
everything was thrown into confusion by the Re-
publican ,bombshell dropped into the Democratic
camp. Judge Robinson ON the twelfth ballot hav-
ing received the highest vote of any during the
previous series of ballots, the Republicans began
to vote for him. knowing that their votes together
with those he had already received, would be sure
10 elect MIN. us was tue lOT u iHOSt hui-
ried stampede into the Wilson camp of nearly all
the Democratic members who had been previous
" scattering their ballots wherever they would be
least likely to prove effective, and even Judge
Robinson's friends partook in the general panic
and unceremoniousy left him and enlisted under
the Wilson banner and contributed to his election.
The managers were discounted. King caucus
was slain in his swaddling clothes, and the peo-
pie of Maryland through the mastery move
ments of Western Shore Republicans, will have
an able representative in the Senate of the United
States and one who belongs to no faction of the
Democratic party. He is one who is least aecep-
table to that oIigarchy who have been for years
prostituting the State for their own pecuniary and
selfish ends.
Ex-Comptroller Purnell says of the newly -elected
Senator: 'sI have known Mr.. Wilson intimately
for thirty years. and take pleasure in bearing tes-
timony to his ability, integrity and independence
of character He is a decided Democrat, but no
man in that party has more liberal tendencies and
more generous impulses. All who know him,
irrespective of party, esteem him a fine scholar,
a thorough lawyer and an excellent business man,
and the uncompromising enemy of corruption in
every form. He will make no unworthy successor
of James Alfred Pearce, who ably filed the seat
twenty five years ago.

LETTER FROM MT. VERNON.
The Eight-Hour LAVA Public School
Needed-A Little Politics.

Mt. VERNON, BALTIC. COUNTY, Jan. %, 1884.
Messrs. Editors There was largely attended
meeting held at the hall in this place last night.
Its object was to express the opinions and sent-
ments of the operatives of the Mt. Vernon mills in
regard to the proposed eight-hour law about to be
passed by the Legislature. Some attended the
meeting who did not work in the Mt. Vernon mills
and they were told that it was meeting of those
who did work in them that was held, which caused
them to leave. Before doing so they strongly ex-
pressed themselves in favor of the eight hour law.
The meeting as constituted was altogether OPP
posed to the proposed measure. A committee was
appointed to draft resolutions expressive of the
sentiment of the meeting and have them presented
to the Legislature. Mr.. Charles Hassan, who pre-
sided at the meeting is one of the best citizens in
our community. He has always been on the side
of his co-workers, and his opinions on the eight
hour question are well worthy of consideration
He is of the few who will not be likely to lead
any of the operatives astray. He stood up like
q true man ought when the ten-hour law was ad-
vocated some years ago. He was at that time on
the side of the employed. because he believed it
to be the side of right and justice. The sentiment
of the factory operatives is against the passage Of
an eight-hour law.
The communication in THE UNION last week
from one of your correspondents at this place re-
lating to the need of public school here, has
been well received. The hope that Mr.. Clark will
public schools near here have been SO over. crowd
ed that additional rooms had to be rented to &C.
commodate the increasing number of scholars
There is very large hall in this place which
would suit for school and could be rented for
that purpose. Many of the scholars who attend
the public schools here lose great deal of time
from school on account of the distance they have
to go. Every one here agrees with your CORES
pondent that school, ought to be established here
A committee has been selected to visit Annapolis
and prevail on the county members in the Cen
eral Assembly to have law passed authorizing
the County Commissioners to levy enough money
to build school house here that will take the
place of the two schools here now. What our
people want is a school in our own midst We do
not wish to have the other schools combined into
one. They should continue as they are. But we
should have public school here There are chill
dren enough in our midst that do not attend any
school whose parents would send them to school
if there one close at hand.
The Republican political pot is getting ready
for lively boil. We have among us plenty Of
candidates for delegates to all the conventions to
be held this year. The converts to the party are
among the most active workers and they arc like
ly to have enough to keep them busy until the
convention meets. OCCASIONAL.

ME-The Salem, N. j., Standard is opposed to
sheitering Migrants in prisons, &C., and says:
"The fact that Migrants, at this season of the
year, apply to be incarcerated in Jail, or to be
sheltered in some of the charitable institutions, is
a strong argument in favor of having all able
bodied prisoners and Migrants engaged in some
employment during the time they are the wards
of such institutions, and the custom that has re-
Gently found favor in the upper part ofthis State,
in dealing with the tramp question, ought to
have wider application. To shelter able-bo-
died Migrants in prisons and charitable institu-
tions for the sake of furnishing them home,
without any labor on their part, is but to en-
courage idleness, proves a needless drain on the
taxpayers or charitable, and robs the deserving
poor of sympathy and needed aid. 1t is mis-
taken charity when applied to all SUCH

A NOTABLE EVENT IN METHoDIsM

One of the most notable events in the history Of
Methodism in Maryland was the ladies' mass
meeting, held in the First NJ. E. Church, Balti-
more, on Tuesday last for the purpose of inaugu-
rating movement having for its object the estab-
lishment of Female Seminary in Baltimore for
the higher education of young ladies. The estab-
Ishment of this school is intended to be memo
rial offering in honor of the centenary of the Bal
timore Annual Conference of the NJ. L. Church,
which will be celebrated in the spring The Rev.
IL. Goucher, pastor of the church, has offered
worth SIS, 000, on which to build the Semina-
ry provided the amount of 5000, 900 is realized to
complete and furnish it. Two ladies, whose names
were not given, gave 200 each on the same con-
ditions. The spirit with which the enterprise has
been entered upon by the ladies, and the grand
encouragement given by both Bishop Simpson and
Bishop Andrews by their presence and powerful
addresses, are good signs that the undertaking
will not fail. The Rev. Mr.. Goucher has never
yet been disappointed in any of his Christian en-
terprises and he is always ready not only with his
heart and prayers, but also to give largely OF his
means to help on all his undertakings. The Meth
odists of the Baltimore Conference need just such
a seminary for the higher education OF young
ladies, and Maryland Methodists are never be-
hind in the berality of their gifts. This will as
sure the memorial offering in honor Of the centen-
NAL of the Baltimore Conference.

Taxing Mortgages.


We think the time has now come for the taxa
tor Of mortgages. 1t could work no hardship to
the mortgagor, because money is abundant, and
as the principle to our mind is clearly right,
there should be no further delay in the equaliza-
tion of taxation by requiring mortgages to bear
their just proportion of the burdens of taxation.
In leyying this tax an exemption might be made
of mutual building associations, and possibly
some other class of such securities.
1t is manifestly unjust to exempt class of
property from taxation which is acknowledged by
every one to be of the best kind, The holder of
such property is perfectly secure in its posses
sion-has thrown around it all the safeguards
that law can give-gets his profits promptly and
remuneratiyey-ca sell the same and realize in
full Or at profit upon his investment at any
time. Wherefore then should the possessor of
such property 60 "Scott free" of all taxes What
ever reason there might have been for such ex
emption in the past in the way of inducement to
capital no such reason exists now, and the con-
tinued exemption will be an outrage upon the
already heavily taxed people of the State. Re-
zeal the exemption and that right early, is now
the cry from s!l quarters of the State that goes
up to the present Legislature.
