A Prospective View of Westminster.

Westminster has Just declared in favor of
paving streets and in other ways improving the
town. This is undoubtedly step in the right
direction, and a beginning is some evidence of
an intention to complete an enterprise. What
is now needed is the selection of mayor and
FIVE councilmen on Monday next, who will
guard the work with vigilance, and at once
upon sale of the b0nds) push the work
through to completion. Let it out to the
lowest bidder, and let him make himself en-
tirely responsible for the fulhlment of his con-
tract by giving good and sufficient bond for
the same. Let there be no waste of money,
time or material. Give the citizens some su-
rety that the town will not be in the same
condition next winter that it was during the
one Just past, but let the city fathers have the
work begun at once. The plan is not Just
what we wanted, but 1t is now the plan; let us
make the best of it, and enter into it like good
citizens, and give it our support.
Westminster needs to throw off the old fogy
spirit that to some extent has governed it for
wears. She is now behind the times; she is
not keeping pace with towns of her size here
and in adjoining states. She needs brighten
ing up, and new life infused into her. Her
streets do not only need paving, but some of
them need Strengthening and widening, l. O.,
some of the cross streets, Could not the wis
dom, the capital and energy OF the town de-
wise some means by which there could be a
sixty feet opening at the point where the Car
roll House now stands, and run street par
allel with the railroad from Main in the direc-
ton of Crowds ice cream factory? 1t would
open large number of desirable building
lots, all of which (at fair price, could be
readily disposed Of. Men who labor daily for
their bread cannot purchase building lots be-
cause they are held at too high figure. If
men who own lots adjacent to the town will
put down the price it will create boom in
this place which every business man, every
mechanic and every laborer would be bene
flied by. The waste places would be built
up and the town would be made to assume q
new garb. inducements far greater than at
present would be offered to persons to invest
and locate. No railroad leading from Balti-
more offers the same attractions and induce
ments to health. seekers that the Western
Maryland does. / believe, witt proper man.

The Question Of the Age.

New York Tribune.
1t has been said that the end and
the test of good government is the
greatest happiness of the greatest
number. If this be true, it must be
owned that no government extant is
satisfactorily conducted. For obser-
vation shows that as rule political
energy is expended upon secondary
concerns, while politicians employ all
their dexterity in avoiding action up
on the great problems which most
deeply involve the destinies of the
masses. There is to-day in the En-
glish-speaking countries no such tre-
mendous, far reaching, vital question
as that Of drunkenness. In its impli-
cations and effects 1t overshadows all
else. 1t is impossible to examine any
subject connected with the progress,
the civilization, the physical well-be-
ing, the religious condition of the
masses without encountering this
monstrous evil.-It lies at the center
of all social and political mischief. If
paralyzes benefcent energies in every
direction. 1t neautralizes education
al agencies, 1t silences the voice of
religion. It battles penal reform,
obstructs political reform. 1t rears
aloft a mass of evilly-inspired power
which at every salient point threatens
social and National advance; which
gives to Ignorance and vice create,
potency than Intelligence and Virtue
can command; which daprives the
poor Of the advantages Of modern
progress; which debauches and de.

grades millions, brutalizing and sod
dening them below the plane of heal
thy savagery, and filling the centers
Of population with creatures whose
condition almost excuses the immor-
tality which renders them dangerous
to their generation.
All these evils, all this mischief, all
this destruction of human souls and
intellects, go on among us daily and
hourly. There are none so ignorant
or inattentive as not to have personal
experience of some of them; some
hearth darkened; some family scatter
ed; some loving heart broken; some
promising career ruined; some deed
of shame done. Yet how hard it is to
gigantic evil attacked seriously. Tenn
perance organizations have indeed
been fighting it for years, yet popular
inertia has resisted their utmost eff
forts. But has all been done that
might and should have been done by
the organized agencies that represent
the higher life? What are doctrinal
points,. for example, compared to this
ever-present, ever-actiYe, insidious in
huence? What are sectarian differ
ences by the side Of this National curse?
Can the Churches fold their hands
and fatter themselves that their du-
ties are all fulfilled, while the masses
prefer the saloons and rum-shops to
the pulpit, and while rum rules in
politics and society? Are the higher
educational agencies doing all in their
power to advance civilization while
they ignore the ignore this obstacle
to progress? Can any political Or
ganization be said to represent the
the best aspiration and the strongest
needs of the people, while this abid-
ing source Of misery, crime and pow
erty is allowed to sprefd and flourish?
There is needed something of that
sacred fire whsch kindled into mex
tinguishable heat the zeal of the
Abolishionists, and which compel ed
the abandonment Of human slavery,
to rouse the National Indignation and
abhorance against this very much
greater evil. Nothing short of this,
it is feared, will impel time-serving
politicians to approach in spirit Of
of earnestness subject which is dis
tasteful to them mainly because they
think they cannot afford to do with
out the help and support Of the class
who derive from the degradation of
the foolish and ignorant the means
whereby they continue to rule and
plunder those whose sagacity is proof
against their snares.

FIDELITY TO PRINCIPLE.
A FEW TIMELY THOUGHTS.

The voters in the Democratic ranks
have often been made the subject of
remark from the faithfulness with
which they stick to party, and to ev-
erything bearing the name of Democ-
racy. Had the Republican voters
more Of this quality, it would, per-
haps, materially assist the party, at
the polls, in each succeeding cam
paign. But the Republican takes a
different view Of things political. He
is the adherent of great and holy prin-
ciples. These principles are based
upon Justice. and demand the advoca-
cy of the right, at all times.
Any set of men may advocate any
kind Of measures, in the name of Re-
publicanism, but their action would
not be binding upon the Republican
party. The firm and fearless Repub-
licans who stood by the party and
sustained it through the trying times
when it cost something to be called
Republican, and who made the grand
old party successful, see something
more in politics than a red nose, a
blear eye, distended stomach, or a
crowded prison. They see something
better than theschemes of the politi-
cal goslings for securing petty Offices,
no matter to which side the schemers
belong. The better class of Republi-
cans cannot be impressed with the
idea that there is nothing in politics
except scramble for Office.
The Republican who votes for
principle, does not have to be told
how he shall vote Political faith is
sort of religion with him, and he
votes for the principles of his party
because he deems those principles
right. He does not need any concili-
alton, any courting, or any abuse, to
keep him right, for he is always right,
and those who vote with him are al
ways right. He is the fulfllment Of
the most exalted idea of the typical
voter. He dares to do right, and to
do it fearlessly, and will not be a
trickster for the sake Of popularity
with the lower grades Of humanity.
There are enough Of such men in the
corporation Of Jackson, in Lick town
ship, and in the county of Jackson
to carry the elections triumphantly.
All that is wanted to insure such
consummation is a united, harm onious
effort. Let US all strive to deserve
success and we will have it. Let US
all rally under the old Republican
banner and make the result of this
years work grand triumph for right,
and a scathing condemnation of
wrong.
