ture last spring was spurned by our
delegates there, and that the threats
and money of the 200 liquor-sellers of
this county was sufficient to annul the
wishes and prayers of the best citizens
in this community.
This treachery and trickery was just
ly resented by our people generally,
and at large convention held in
Frostburg in April, resolution was
passed declaring that "ln the future
we would vote for no man for State or
county offices who was in the slightest
degree favorable to a continuance of
the liquor traffic" This emphat-
ic course of action is enough to Sc
cure the defeat of any man in Allie
gany county. Now, Mr.. JOURNAL, it
is well-known fact in political circles
that the three men who so deliberately
set at naught the prayers of all these
people are on the states for positions
of trust and profit next fall, while the
one who so honored himself and us by
the gallant fight for our bill is laughed
and sneered at and relegated to the
shelf of private life. What are we
going to do about it 1t is true we can
defeat them at the polls, but it is
equally true we cannot elect an indie
pendent ticket when both parties nom
mate equally unsatisfactory men. We
can defeat one of them, but we can
not elect a satisfactory man in his
place. 1t will be a case of "of two
evils we are compelled to choose one"
The way the matter now stands we
need choose neither. This Presidential
election gives every man who resents
the political treachery of last spring
chance to protest against it, and a
chance to warn against repetition of
it, yes, and a chance to prepent repe-
tltlon of it without injuring his party
IN the slightest degree. Maryland is
so strongly democratic that every tenn
perance democrats vote could be east
for st. John without imperilling dem
ocratlc success, and every temperance
republican could do the same without
lnJuring republican chances for VIC
tory. Egery such cote arouN count for all
its arorth. With 800 votes for St. John
in this county a delegation of Temper
ance men could go to the county con-
vention of both the political parties
next fall and compel them, for policy's
sake, to nominate pronounced Tenn
perance men for Office. Shaking
these 500 or more votes in their faces
we could dare them to ignore the
sentiment which dictated those votes.
Then, with temperance candidates on
both tickets, it would be unnecessary
to place third ticket in the field, and
every temperance man could vote for
his own party man. Surely it is evi.
dent to every man that every vote for
st. John will be counted a rote for tena-
perance, while every temperance vote
for Cleveland or Blaine will be lost in
the general pile. Let US then combine
on st. John and Daniel. and compel
the nomination next fall of such men
as we will be honored and benefited in
voting for. AN ANGRY PETITIONER.

CURRENT COMMENTS.

Syracuse Standard: The United States
should dig an isthmian canal or seize one.
Scottish american Journal: We fear
the time is not very far distant when not
only the House OF Lords but monarchy
itself may well tremble in Great Britain.
Detroit Times: Will the Republican
party go to pieces? Nonsense! They
can hold together four years quite as well
as the Democrats did twenty-four years.
Rochester Post Express: The Nor
mons are receiving the best kind OF at
tention In Switzerland. Two apostles
have been fined and imprisoned for
spreading their doctrines. Switzerland
is ahead OF the United States in this cru
sade, and hasn't half the reason to be as
energetic as We have, either.
Boston Herald: The suggestion OF
Smith M. Weed as Secretary OF the In
terror under President Cleveland is a
little too much for philosophic considera-
ton. The active agent in the conspiracy
to buy Southern returning boards in 1876,
as disclosed by the cipher dispatches
would be phenomenally out OF place In an
honest Presidents Cabinet.
Philadelphia Times: The chief trouble
in the country to-day, is because the par
asites who live on the productive energies
of the people by gambling, have become
too great and exacting for the productive
energies TO sustain; and until there shall
be revived prosperity among those who
create and produce wealth, there can be
no substantial "money-making year" in
1885 or at any other time. Does Jay
Gould catch on?
Philadelphia Times There are at least
two favorable signs concerning the busi-
ness future. One is the fact that the iron
trade is again just shade better than it
was the other, the general demand for
lower rents. 1t is proverb among stu
dents of business depression that real
estate is the last market to decline, and
lower rents are very likely to cause lower
prices for houses, except where there is
extraordinary development in progress.
Real estates turn has come in a good
many country neighborhoods.

similar to the 0f.nt bilI-the opinion
that ii was unconstitutional Il = ~
reported now that an appeal has been
made to the President by Porter TO have
his case feopened. just how the case is
to be opened after the bill has been ve-
toed, and thereby killed, is not explained,
bat il Is not unlikely that Porter relief
bill will be passed in the next Congress,
il the case shall not be reconsidored by
Mr.. Arthur The Grant bill is In the
hands OF the House committee on mill
tary affairs. 1t is understood that the
majority favor the bill. Gen. Slocum and
other prominent advocates Of the Porter
case favor Grants very heartily. The
prospects are that they viii report it
favorably The latest talk is To create
the Office Of General and Colonel, leaving
the President to designate persons TO fill
them. The President, it is expected,
would nominate Grant and Porter and
his prerogative would be unmarried.
This would be no encroachment 1t is
whipping the devil about the stump, but
it seems to be the only way In which Gen.
Grant can be retired. President Arthur's
consistency would thus be preserved.

JAY GoULD takes hopeful view of the
present business depression. In an in
terview with New York World reporter
ne said II believe that after the first of

think that the year 1885 will be money
making year. The balance of the trade
of the world is now in our favor. For
eign nations are buying of us more than
we are buying of them. They are paying
us the difference in hard gold coin. Mil
hons of this reaches us on every incoming
steamer"

enlisting Of terrestrial mechanics in the

THE SOUTH.

Two brothers, named Kincaid, went econ
hunting on Sycamore Greek near Hamilton,
W. Va, few nights ago. They freed a
coon in a large tree in the woods, and after
vainly trying to capture the animal, they
sat their dogs to watch it, and after build
ing fire by the tree lay down to wait until
morning. During the night they fell asleep,
and the tree took fire, burned off and fell
on them. Both were horribly burned, and
one killed almost instantly. The other was
fatally injured.
