''There Amt Any Money In It. -

A little boy who was questioned
when on his way to sweep office
floors and build fires before the
stars went out in the sky, said:
my mother gets me up, builds
the fire, and gets my breakfast, and
sends me off. Then she gives the
other children their breakfast, and
sends them to school ; and then she
and the baby have their breakfast"
Chow old is the baby?" l asked.
ooh, she's most two; but she
can talk and walk as well as the
rest of u.s."
"And are you well paid?'
II get two dollars a week, and
my father gets two dollars day"
How much does your mother
get?"
With a bewildered look he said {:
Mother? Why, she don't work
for anybody
II thought you said she worked
for all of you"
ooh, yes, for us she does; but
there amt any money in it."

Mr.. Blaine's Record.

"Independent" Republicans, cast
ing abOut for some plea to screen their
recreancy, urge that Mr.. Blaine's
name is not attached to any great act
of statesmanship-that there have
been no distinCtlvely Blaine measur-
es Of reform in legislation. AS well
might disgruntled employee of the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad say that
Mr.. Garrett deserved no credit fCr its
Chicago extension, because it was
surveyed and its construction super
intended by some competent engin-
eer in the service of the company.
General Henderson, in his formal an
nouncement of the action of the Chi
cago Convention, effectually exposes
the disingenuOusness of these sol dis
ant Republicans by enumerating the
services Mr.. Blaine has rendered to
his party and his country. The ear
lier efforts of the Republicans in Con-
gress were necessarily tentative.
They were confronted by novel prob.
lens of statecraft, which were destin-
ed to revolutionize many of the cher
ished institutions of the nation. 1t
was during this experimental period
that Mr.. Blaine began his political
career. His intuitive sagacity, and
moral courage which never shrank
from the consequences of his convic-
tions, marked him as a leader from
the start, and gave him command in
an assembly which has had few ri
walls in this or any other government.
Unknown and possessed of no extra
neous influence, he was, neyerthe-
less, again and again called to the

The Sunday School Convention.

The Sunday School Convention at
Jamestown last week, was a grand
success. The attendance was large,
competent judges saying that 1900
people were in attendance on Sun
day. Great interest was manifested
by all present in the various exer.
cises, and every thing seemed to
work together to make it one of the
most interesting conventions ever
held in the county. Those who were
present speak in the highest terms of
praise of the good people of Johns
town and vicinity, who threw open
their homes for the entertainment of
the delegates and others in attend
ance. These annual meetings of Sun
day School workers accomplish a
vast amount of good, not only to the
Sunday Schools, but to the cause of
Christianity, and the elevation of the
moral tone Of society generally. The
workers in this cause deserve the
thanks of the people of our county.

ED. REPUBLICAN PLEASE permit
me to say to the lovers of music in
Garrett county, and who is ii who
"hath not music in his soul ?" that,
realizing the importance of correct
musical training of the young, some of
our citizens have prevailed on Miss
Butler, of Washington City. organist
of Memorial Church, to come to Acct.
dent for the summer, at a great sacri-
flee, and instruct our young people
in the theory and practice of music.
Miss Butler has relinquished the
pleasure of her annual visit to the sea
shore and mountain with uongenial
friends, and in a missionary spirit, as
it were, sacrificed her own comfort to
spirit of duty and is now here teach
ing class of young people. She is
so thorough, her methods the very
latest and withal the opportunity to
study music so excellent, that we feel
that we are doing duty to our PEG
pie in calling their attention to this
matter. Miss Butler will give each
scholar two lessons IA week for ten
weeks for the mere nominal sum Of
s.. Scholars can come here twice a
week from a distance, or board can
be had quite reasonable in the neigh
! hnphnnH tt1h Of If
scholars can be proftably occupied
by study and practice during the in
tervals. Study and application will
be expected of each scholar. Music
takes study and constant application
and those who can devote all theil
time to it will make greater advance
ment. 1t will pay those who car
spare their daughters from home du
ties to have them G. me here and de
vote all their timetO the study. Those
people who have no organs will pos
sesS one great advantage, and that il
there will be no bad habits to undo
as drumming on the organ with

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.

From our Regular Correspor dent.l
WASHINGTON. D. c., June 80, 1884.
The nomination of Mr.. Blaine by
the Republicans, is meant by the Re.
publicans to be the election of Mr..
Blaine. The boiling of few sore
heads who were disappointed in not
getting'theirO own candidates through,
has not and will not disturb any num-
Der of those who believe in standing
by party nominations. The Repuh-
lican National Committee has al
ready outlined the character of the
campaign work, which is to be the
most thorough, the most aggressive
and the most energetic that has ever
been done in behalf of any party.
The candidates themselves are men
who are not in the habit of letting
the grass grow under their feet and
who, should they take the stump in
person. will arouse an enthusiasm
that cannot but result in overWneim-
ing victory.
The Developments that have been
made recently that involve the Gu
pidity and corruption of several Gov
eminent officers, simply demonstrates
the present cOndidition of Washing,
ton society, The pay of no officer
civil or military, is adequate to the
demands made upon him for the
maintenance of any sort of a social
status, and so resort to the commits
sion of crime becomes necessity
simultaneously with the taking up of
a residence at the capital. By this I
am not to be understood as saying
that all who stand well in Washing.
ton society are thieves, though /
might say that thieves are among
those who hold the highest social
rank, and some of them are absolute
satellites in the galaxy of snobdom.
The closing days of Congress will
be characterized as usual by the in.
decent haste with which important
measures will be dispatched through
both Houses, without taking time to
consider the effect that they may
have upon the interests of the count
ry. AS a specimen of this undue
haste in legislation, recall the fact
that two bills Zone originating in the
House, and the other in the Senate)
went through both Houses with the
aye and nay vote, and were not dis
covered to be exactly alike until they
came before the President for appro-
val! The same was also true of the
Tariff bill, in which was discovered
a section which absolutely annuled
the effect of the preceding section,
though this was discovered a few
hours before Congress adjourned.

on Saturday night in the course of an
eloquent speech Gen. Logan paid the
following tribute to his associate on
the ticket:
1.-THE standard bearer of the party
in the ensuing campaign is the Hon.
James 6. Blaine, known throughout
the land as one of It's truest and ablest
representatives. TIe has been called

ness for the trust, and in admiration
of the surprising combination of bril-
liancy, courage, faithfulness, persits-
ency andreasearch that has made him
one of the most remarkable figures
which has appeared upon the forum
of statescraft in any period of this
country. That such Il man should
have enemies and detractors is as nat
ural as that our best fruits should be
infested with parasites, or that there
should existsmall and envious minds,
which seek to belittle that which
they can never hope to initiate or
equal, and that he shall triumph over
these and lead the Republican party
to another victory in November, is
as certain as the succession of the sea-
sons or the rolling of the spheres in
their courses"

The New York Evening Post claims
TO be an honorable newspaper, alto
gether too honorable and high toned
to support Blaine and Logan, and
yet it knew when it started this cam
paign falsehood that not one of these
papers ever supported Republican

of them ever supported candidate
for President who was elected. They
have always been on the losing side,
and now they are there again."
