The Scotch Sabbath.

The Scotch are, of course, very
righteous people, indeed, and their rev.
erence for the "Sawbath is matter of
common notoriety. Last Sunday a
bardue arrived at st. Andrews Bay, fly
ing a flag for assistance. A fishing boat
put off, and it was discovered that the
captain and crew were in a state of semi
starvation, having been reduced for sew
eral days to diet of one biscuit day
per man. But the godly people of st.
Andrews are so strongly opposed to any
thing approaching Sunday trading. that
provisions we're only prccnred With the
greatest difficulty, and for some time it
appeared as though the unfortunate
sailors would have done better to remain
on board with their one biscuit until
Monday. I wonder If it occurred &c
these rigid Sabbatharlans that il any oi
the men had died. they would have
been morally, if not legally, guilty o.
manslaughter

Mr.. G. w, Delawder, fish commits
sioner, has submitted a report in re-
gard to fish ladders for the Potomac
river. Mr.. DeIawder says;
"In the discharge of his duty under
the act of 1882 he examined all fish
ways or ladders patented in the Uni
ted States, and acquired all the infor-
nation accessible; he determined to
adopt the Mcdonald fish-way, and
received letters from the patentee in
reference thereto, which he submits !;
he entered into an agreement with
the Mcdonald Fish Way company
for the construction and erection of
fish-Ways oyer dams Nos. 4, 5, 6 and
on the Potomac river for $1,000 :;
under this agreement the company
erected fish-way over dam No. 4,
and after its completion declared
themselves ready to complete the
erection of said fish-ways as soon as
high water and weather would per-
nit; the company. having the fish
ways all constructed and ready to be
put in place, sent up men to erect
them those men were not allowed to
proceed with their work, but were
prevented from putting them up by
the Chesapeake and Ohio canal com
pay or its agents; afterward the board
ofdirectors of the canal company APP
pointed committee to take some &C.
ton with reference to the erection of
the fish-ways, but what action has
been taken by the committee, if any,
he is not advised that he has en-
deavored to the best of his ability to
perform mis- duty and to place the fish
ways over the dams, and the Melon
aid company has been not only ready
and willing. but anxious to perform
their part as soon as the consent of
the Chesapeake and Ohio canal COM
pany can be obtained he has good
reason to believe that the consent of
the canal company will be given, but
until it is obtained nothing more can
be done; of the amount appropriated
in 1882 he has expended for the fish,

and the construction of the other
three, 81 200; the remaining 81 200 he
deposited in the Western National
Bank. to the credit of the fish-ways,

company as soon as the company is
allowed by the canal company to
place the fish-ways in position"

A tin wedding celebration took
place at the residence of Mr.. Frank

1884. Ten years previous to that date
Mr.. White and Miss Russell were
solemnly united in the bonds of holy
wedlock. The relatives and friends
of both families, and the Lutheran
Pastor, Rev. VIM. Stoudenmire, were
gathered in the forenoon to attend
upon. and engage in the celebration
and festivities. Although the day

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.

From our Regular Correspop dent.l
WASHINGTON, d. c., Mar. 4, 1884.
Presidential prospects always fur
nish fruitful topic among politicians
and correspondents in Washington
for many months prior to a campaign.
And it was never more so than just
at this time, when both parties are all
at sea in the matter of candidates.
Probably there never was time, at
least not in recent years, so near the
date of the nominating convention,
when so little disqualification of senti.
ment existed as to candidates. Not
that there are no candidates, but that
there is so much uncertainty as to
who is the right one-the strong one.
In the coming contest, which prom
Uses to be close one, it is universally
admitted that mistakes must not be
made in selecting standard bearers.
AS matters stand to-day the fight in
the Republican convention would
seem to be between President Arthur
and General Logan, with Senator Ed
munds remote possibility, Mr..
Blaine, who has so many warm
friends all over the country, and who
has twice come within a few votes of
the nomination, is pretty certainly
out of the race this year. Blaine's
experience is very forcible illustra-
ton of the fact that the favorites do
not always win, and that the Presi-
dency is too big a thing to be "set
10" like a a nest of ten-pins, and
when it is thought to be all arranged
that certain candidate has major
ity it does not take long to find out
how easy it is to be mistaken. We
all remember how William H. Sc
ward had "set up" the Chicago con-
vention of 1860 and how easily Mr..
Lincoln walked away with the hon.
ors. Very few had ever thought of
Mr.. Lincoln as a candidate. 1t was
the same at Cincinnati when Hayes
was nominated. Nobody in particu-
lar wanted Hayes, yet he got the
nomination, while Blaine, whom sew
eral hundred delegates did want, got
left as he did at Chicago in 1880.

SATURDAY, MARCH 8. 1884.

The special election last Friday in
the Second Congressional district in
Kansas to fill the vacancy occasiOned
by the death of Dudley G. Haskell,
resulted in the Hon, Edward H. Fun
ston, Republican, receiving over 5000
majority. This majority is surprise
to everyone, Haskell having been
elected by small plurality over the
Democratic and Greenback candi-
dates. The issue was mainly on the
tariff. Mr.. Riggs. an able stumper
and an avowed Free Trade, was NOM
mated by the Democrats and was
supported by a few Republicans who
had the Free Trade fever. Edward
H. Funston, the Republican candi-
date is an avowed Tariff man, and as
this is the initial contest of the kind
for the Presidential year, the result
must be accepted as one full ofsignif-
icance.

We like this place very well, and I

a good country. Stock raising is and
will continue to be one of the chief
industries in the west. Beef cattle
are now selling at 5l(96c. gross, while
corn is only 81 cents per bushel, so

can be done is because the Democrats
are in the majority and bitterly OPP
posed to any change whatever.
Senator Bowlus' bill to change the
basis of distributing the State school
tax to the several counties and city
of Baltimore, has been killed in the
Senate. Ifpermitted to become law
this bill would have increased the
school fund for Garrett, Allegany,
Baltimore, Carroll. Cecil, Frederick
and Washington counties. At pres.
ent Anne Arundel receives $4,000
more than she would receive under
the new distribution. AS the law
now stands it is very wrong and un-
Just. But with all these facts staring
them in the face they are content and
determined to make the minority
submit and endure the wrong and in
justice. The minority can put them
upon record and that is the end of it.
