One OF the many schemes by which city
sbarpers pick up the money from which
fools are proverbially "soon parted" has
been lately exposed in the papers. The
plan is to advertise a '.school of tele-
graphy,' guaranteeing that the art shall
be learned in an impossible short time.
The attractive bait is a promise OF good
situation. Needy young people, out of
work, are lured to the SCHOOL" where
they pay as much money as they can. and
study three or four weeks. At the end of
that time they find themselves as ignorant
as at first and minus the money paid to
the alleged teacher" Needless to say,
no situations are obtained. All schemes
for making money. except by hard work.

be avoided as cheerfully as the seductive
advances of the bunko steerer. Adver-
tisements guaranteeing upon the pains

great pay for little work, invariably indi-
cate nets spread for victims. The dollar
sold for fifty cents is not valuable coin.
1t is not countrymen alone who fall into
these traps. The published details OF

Flood Rock Blown UP.
A Great Engineering Feat = 100000
Pounds of Dynamite Blow up Eight
Acres of Rock.

The eight acres of rock comprising the IA
nous Flood Rock, midway between Ward S
and BlackwelPs Islands, New York harbor,
were shattered into fragments at fifteen min
utes past IL o'clock Saturday morning. The
explosives with which the tunnels were charg-
ed went off simultaneously, and, so far as ex-
aminations have shown, the reef was COM
pletely destroyed 1t is believed that clear
channel has been opened for ste amers from
the East river into Long Island sound, and
that the dangers that beset mariners in those
waters for centuries, and which caused the
old Knickerbockers of early New FORK to call
the place He'll Gate, are forever gone. About
100, 900 people witnessed the spectacle from
the surrounding shores. Miss Mary Newton,
the 11-yearo daughter of Gen. John New
ton, standing at the Astoria steamboat land
ing, touched the electric button which set off
the battery and caused the explosion. She
performed the same act nine years ago for
the Hallett's Reef explosion, Sept. "A; 1876.
Gen. Newton and Lieut.. Berry are satisfied
with the result of their operations, and say
that they will have the channel cleared of the
broken rock before six months.
Flood Rock was the largest of the He'll
Gate distractions 1t had an area of about
eight acres, of which only about $50 square
feet showed above high-water mark. In order
to disintegrate this mass of rock it has been
necessary to tunnel it in every direction:
There were "A galleries tunneled north and
SOUTH and 46 running east and west. The total
length of the tunnelling was about four miles,
and fully 80, 600 cubic yards of rock had to be
bored out and removed There were 1926
chambers constructed to hold the explosive
material, in which were deposited about AZ,
600 dynamite cartridges each . inches in
diameter, and weighing in the aggregate 300,
600 pounds. Over 100000 feet of wire were
used to connect the cartridges with the elec-
trio batteries

Republican Mass Meeting.

The Republican tmassn meeting at the
Court House on Wednesday night cannot be
counted success. The audience was not
large, Democrats attracted out of curiosity
and small boys comprising fully one-third of
the number present. There were several
reasons for this-frst the notice was short
second, the weather was not very favorable;
and third, the citizens of Westminster care
little for political meetings, except when elo-
quent speakers Of reputation are to address
them.
After some vigorous work by the West
minister Band, to attract crowd, three-quar-
tiers Of an hour after the appointed time the
meeting was called together by Chairman
Seabrook of the central committee, who nomi-
mated Mr.. VIM. A. Wampler for president of
the meeting A e-president for each dis
trict was announced, all but two of whom were
conspicuous by their absence. Mr.. Marine,
the candidate for Clerk of the Court of APP
peals, was also absent.
Mr.. Francis Miller, of Montgomery county
and Washington, d. c., candidate for Comp
troller, was on hand, and spoke, referring
first to the small number present Just what
else he said is not matter of much impor-
lance. He is not likely to do his party any
good or the opposition any harm. He is en-
titled to credit for doing what he conceives to
be his duty to his party, in stumping the
State, and is no doubt conscientious in all
that he says. What he doesn't know about
Maryland State affairs, howevef, comprises
almost all facts relating to the state government
for some years past. One point he made,
which he thought would have a telling effect
on his audience, was that 100000 was paid
to the Democratic press of Maryland for pub
fishing the laws. His knowledge was very
limited. He did not know Tor at least he did
not say that the act authorizing the pubhca-
ton of the laws was passed when the Repub-
hcan party ruled in Maryland, nor did he tell
his audience that the law was repealed by a
Democratic Legislature in 1882. He was not
posted on the amounts paid to the different
papers, although he essayed to give figures,
nor was he correct in what he said about the
acts being furnished in supplement form from
Annapolis. Neither did he know that he was
running counter to the sentiments of the Re-
publican organ of this county, which has
fully endorsed, within brief period, the pub
LEGATION of the laws for the benefit of the
people.

The Ohio Election

Although the returns from the election in
Ohio on Tuesday are still incomplete, the in
dications are that the Republicans have elect
ed their state ticketby apluraIity, not mqjori-
ty, and have a majority on joint ballot in the
Legislature. This is quite a come down,
however, from the $4,000 majority given for
Blaine last year, and it is quite victory for
the Democrats to put such a stalwart Repub-
lican state as Ohio in the balances.
The Republican party was fighting for its
national existence, and Senator Sherman was
battling for his political life. Had he failed
to secure a Republican majority in the Legis-
lature, and Hoadley been elected, he would
have been retired from the Senate and his
name would have fallen out from the list of
Presidential candidates for 1888. 1t was the
life of the Republican party, then, that was
at stake, and the political existence of Senator
Sherman in addition; besides, the Republi
cans were fighting for control of the Senate,
and yet they narrowly escaped defeat.

The Issues Call for Best Endeavors.

Democrats of Carroll the issues this cam
paign call for your best endeavors.
You should elect the Clerk, in order to
hold control of that part of the Circuit Court,
with its patronage of four or five deputies.
You should elect the Register, in order TO
hold that important position in the Orphans
Court, with its patronage.
You should elect the. Sheriff, in order to
hold that officer of the Circuit Court, who has
deputies to appoint and is oftentimes charged
with the selection of jurors.
You should elect your legislative candidates,
because the next Legislature will have to elect
a United States Senator, Governor, Treasurer,
and two Police Commissioners for Baltimore.
You should elect your candidates for Coun-
ty Commissioners, in order that the excellent
management of county affairs may be contin-
ued, the county debt reduced, and taxes kept
to a minimum point. Don't forget that the
rate in Carroll is from fifteen 10 Sirty-too
cents Iotoer than an counties aRder Republican
rule The Commissioners, too, have the APP
pointment of q constables, II tax collectors,
about 260 road supervisors and Steward of
the Aims House.
You should elect the County Treasurer in
order to have a Clerk and Treasurer in sym
pathy with the County Commissioners, and to
secure harmony of purpose and unity of ac-
ton.
You should elect the Surveyor, in order to
make clean sweep of the county, and allow
no break in the victory.
Every candidate was fairly nominated, and
is entitled to your support on party grounds
All are competent, and entitled to your sup
port on that score. The welfare ofthe county
depends upon your action. The full Demo
cratic vote is demanded to overbalance Re-
publican counties on the state ticket, and
upon a Democratic Legislature may depend
the control ofthe next United States Senate.
The importance of the election is threefold.
Be active, then, Democrats; do your whole
duty, AID elect the whole ticket from top to
hOttOm
