Occasionally see copy of your journal

who, by the way, had never a word to say
about the Byron Literary Association in the
neighborhood of Hood Mill. Said Associa-
ton held weekly meetings during last winter
and spring, closing only when the nights be-

and which is to be recognized about the first
of January.

Lisbon is pleasant village of about $50
inhabitants on the Frederick pike two miles
south of Woodbine. 1t contains 80 dwellings
and 8 stores. 1t is not a dead town by any
means. We have recently completed splen-
did Methodist church with capacity for seat
ing 800 persons 1t was dedicated on the I'd
inst, and is paid for. Nine hundred dollars
were asked for on the day of dedication. The
amount was readily subscribed at once, and
$48 10 over the amount collected. This amount
was raised beside subscription of S25 from
st. James church which the Building Com
mittee declined receiving, as this community
alone wanted the credit of building so nice u
church, which would be an ornament to any
town. The cost was $1,000.

Gov. Hamilton sent his second biennial
message to the Legislature just after it or
ganizad On Wednesday. 1t is a very long
document, and not one person in a hundred
has or will read it through on account of
its great length 1t contains all the sug-
gcstons and recommendations of his for
mcr messages and embraces but little that
is new. Gov. Hamilton will retire to pri-
waite life in a few days, and his words and
recommendations will pass with him. 1t
is to the new Governor the people now
look for recommendations He was elect
ed with specific purposes in view, and the
people are confidently awaiting his action.
1t is hoped and believed that he and the
General Assembly will work with unity
and diligence and that good to the state
and people may result To the retiring
Governor we wish peace, comfort and hap
piness amid the rural scenes of his broad
acres in Western Maryland.

No Tariff for Protection.

There has not as yet been a single declara
ton from Speaker Carlisle, or Morrison, or
Watterson, or Blackburn, or Buckner, or Me-
Donald, that in any degree recognizes pro-
lection as a necessary incident of our revenue
laws. When driven to the wall they dodge
the issue by the loose declaration that the
large amount of revenue we need must afford
incidental protection, but they distinctly dis
card the policy of discrimination in favor of
productive industry.-Phitddelphia Times.
OF course they don't declare for protec-
ton They are Democrats and Democrats
stand upon the constitution, which forbids
class legislation, the taxing of one class to
support another The amount of money
sufficient to carry on the government neces-
states tariff that will protect. Demo-
Gratis, however, are not in favor of a tdrif
.tor protectio"-only a tariff for the legiti-
mute needs of the government.

Congress is in session, the State Legisla-
ture is in session, the Presidential election
is approaching. To keep pace with the
progress of the times man has to have a
good newspaper. The ADVOCATE will
present an Ineligible summary of all cur
rem. events and keep its readers well in
formed on all important topics of the day.
Send in your subscriptions. The ADvo-
CATE ought to visit, weekly, every Demo
cratic family in the county. This can be
accomplished if every subscriber will APP
point himself u committee of one to recon-
mend it to his neighbor. Try this plan,-
make the offort,-and it will rebound
to the advantage of the whole party in the
coming contest. We want the ADVOCATE
to be read at every freside.

Presidential Succession.

Congressman McLoid, of Iowa, has pre-
pared bill which he intends pushing at
the present session of Congress, on the
Presidential succession. The bill dcsig-
mates the Secretary of State as the officer
who shall act as President in the case of
death. removal or inability of the President
and President. 1t provides that
Presidential electors shall serve for four
wears. and that they shall elect a President
and Vice President for the unexpired terms,
the day of meeting to be set in aproclama-
ton by the Secretary of State (actlng
President The bill further provides that
the same course of procedure shall be fol-
lowed which would be followed in the or
binary year of presidential election, ex-
cept that the counting of the electoral vote
shall take place upon the second Tuesday
after the meeting and organization of the
next succeeding regular session of Con-
gress, unless Congress shall be in session
when such election occurs, when such count
ing shall take place upon the eighth Tues
day after such election.
Upon the slight information we have in
regard to the bill, it seems to meet the re-
quircmen:s of providing against possible
interreonums. but it will fail of being per-
feet unless it shall accurately define Gina
bility." 1t is well-known that President
Garfield was unable and incompetent to
fulfill the duties of his office from the time
he was wounded until his death. In cases
of protracted illness there should be some
provision for keeping the wheels of govern
ment running.
