There was a lively little skirmish Sat-
urday night which led to the arrest of w.
II. Beck and Joe Kilfether on the charge
of assault and battery. 1t appears that
they had had some difficulty with two
other men, boarders a. Kiel's hotel, and
following them into the hotel Office were
going to get satisfaction by humping
them, when Henry Spetman, who wanted
no disgraceful rows about his place, in
terfered, and just as M of the men
picked up a spittoon and was about to
hurl it at the head of one of the offend
ing boarders, Mr.. Spetman stepped in
between to stop it. As he did so the
other picked up a chair aud struck
Spetman a blow, knocking him down, and
injuring him so that a physician had to
be called, who on examination found the
most serious hurt to be q broken nose.
Beck and Kilfeter on being arrested
gave bonds to appear before Judge
Aylesworth to-day, when the full facts
will be sifted out.
STEALING CORN FROM A CAR
Yesterday afternoon p. Il. Griggs, a
teamster living in this city, was arrested
for breaking open a X. @. car and steal
ing about five bushels of corn. Officer
Metcalfe found the corn in Griggs' sta
bles and the latter admitted to him the
taking of it, but gave as IN excuse that
he had no money with which to buy any
food for his horses. Griggs was locked
up in Jail, a hardship indeed or his fam
lily, his wife having just given birth to q
babe, and with no one in the house to
care for her. On Griggs' person
was found a railway key of he;Hannibal
& st. Joe road, and it is claimed that this
is not the first time that he has thus ap-
propriated feed for his horses.

The Republican party has made up
its mind to defeat the Democratic party
once more. To that end it will not
permit anybody to divide the Repub-
lican household against itself. 1t will
not tolerate the revival of old factional
lines, nor will it listen with patience to
cries that this man cannot carry Ohio
and that man cannot carry New York,
when they are evidently mere pretenses
TO cloak rival ambitions which, in the
the present temper of Republicans, will
not be allowed to stand in the way of
any obviously wise and strong nomina-
ton. The Republican party is, further
more, in no mood to be unduly terror
lied by threats of third-party move
ments. 1t will listen with respect to
the suggestions and wishes of all hon
estly independent voters. But the in
dependence that IS merely another name
for unreasonable prejudice will not, in
its present state Of feeling, be allowed
to dictate its action. The really indie
pendent vote, the vote of the intelligent
masses who are not violent partisans, is
already assured to the Republican can
didate, whoever he may be. The logic
CT the situation insures this in advance
of the nomination.

NEARLY fifteen million bushels of
oysters are taken from Maryland waters
every year. This constitutes so consid-
cradle portion of the whole oyster
product that any tax imposed upon the
industry will effect every consumer Of
oysters in the land. A large number of
vessels owned in other states come to
the Chesapeake every season to take
oysters, and any proposed regulation
that interferes with the free raking of
the beds arrays against itself formidable
outside interests as we'll as those en-
countered at home. Maryland main
tains three or four armed vessels to
enforce the oyster laws, but they have
quite enough to do in keeping the
dredgers off the riparian beds planted
by private owners. A bill which repre-
sents the Governors views in the mat
ter has been introduced in the Legisla-
ture and referred to the committee on
the Chesapeake bay, which proposes to
levy a tax of five cents on every bushel
of oysters taken from Maryland waters.
The money obtained from this source
would provide for the maintenance Of
an efficient ''navy," and would add
something to the general revenues Of
the State beside. But the oyster-taking
and packing interests are up in

The frequent illusions in political cir
cles to the resemblance between Henry
Clay and Jas. G. Blaine suggest the un-
successful contest of the former for the
Presidency in 1914. He was nomi-
natee at Baltimore in May of that year,
and for while there seemed to be
scarcely doubt of his election. As
the campaign progressed the annexa-
ton of Texas became the leading issue,
and MIR. Clay wrote several letters on
the subject that were published. The
last one, written to a citizen of Ala
bama, was unsatisfactory to the anti
slavery Wings of the North, and un-
doubtedly lost him the Presidency.
James G.. Birney was the candidate Of
the Liber party Gas it was then calledD ,
and 4 sufficient number of votes were
drawn from the Wings to defeat Clay
in the State of New York, which was
the real battle ground.

with the soundness of the principle, but
breads its effects. Now, if free trade

if it be likely to produce disastrous re-
suits when applied to the business OF
the country, what is the use Of advo-
eating it even as an abstraction? After

tenn is wrong, Mr.. Carlisle seeks to allay
the alarm which his argument would

lr is not often that charitable gift
goes begging for somebody to accept
it; but this seems to he the fate of the
money earned at the so-called charity
BALI in Philadelphia some weeks ago.
In order to make the ball a success the
managers advertised that certain per-
centage of the receipts would be divided
between the Presbyterian and Episcopal
hospitals. This was done without con-
sultation with the managers of either
institution. The ball was 4 great fnan-
cial success, and something like $4,000
was apportioned from the receipts to
the two hospitals. The Presbyterians
promptly declined to accept the money.
The managers of the Episcopal hospital
received the gift, but large number
Of the clergy and laity desire that it
should be returned to the doners.
Rev. R. A. Edwards, rector of the
