We are somewhat amused at the trite
and boyish manner in which the Sails
bury Record recites its little funeral
Grafton over the, supposed, dead body
OF the Republican party. Let Editor
Bell just tread real hard On its tail once
in manly energetic way and he will
find that, like the opossum, it only
fcigns death, and will spring up with
all the conquering might and power i,
has won since the establishment of a
United States government. This talk
about the death of the Republican party
in the counties Of Maryland is becom
Ing ridiculous and ring workers in the
Democratic ranks will discover presently
how beautifully alive and kicking i,
still is.

THE PRESIDENT FOR HILL
He Favors The Entire Democratic Ticl

He Favors The Entire Democratic Ticket.
An Albany dispatch to the New York
Star says President Cleveland has writ
ten letter to friend in Albany, in
which he declares himself in favor of
the election of Governor Hill and the
Democratic state ticket. In relation
to the same subject Washington dis
patch to the SIN says: The President
makes no secret of his position in the
campaign in New York. He tells all
of his friends that he regrets the cleo
ton of Governor Hill and the Demo-
cratic state ticket as highly important
to Democratic interests, and evinces
the liveliest interest in the struggle. He
confesses that the absurd reports that
he is not friendly to the election of
Governor Hill and the Democratic can
didatcs annoy him exceedingly, and he
is at a loss to understand why honest
men editing newspapers should DELHI
erately and knowingly misrepresent
him.

HEROES AND HEROES.

The English press in its critical
dissertations on the manners of our
country has remarkably original
method in the selection of subjects.
The slightest trait of an American
the least degree out of perfect order
and dignity becomes text for such
serious comments as the scholarly
Bacon might have made. A question
lately asked refers to the origon of
our greatest heroes and states in a
self-satisfied manner, that without our
great military noblemen, our gener-
ais and warriors, our banner of fame
would float over few heads. 1t is a
question that will serve as a key to
many sublime avenues of thought.
We might reply that such heroic
names as those of Grant and Sher-
man, of Lee and Sheridan, were
enough for the honor of any country,
but it would not be we'll to limit our
distinctive heroic endowments to the
achievements of the battle field and
the exploits of victorious warriors.
While with not so general a gaze as
England may take over her annals
we can still glance down the columns
of our own history as a nation in war
and peace and find just as many noble
names to deck the latter as the for
mer reriod. The names of our civil
heroes FURNISHED on the shield of
fame are enough to make the heart
of any nation proud. Although we
pay more public reverence to those,
like Grant, whose laurels were won
in the path ofslendid military achieve
ment, we have still a noble galaxy of
hOnored names whose owners battles
were only those fought on the SUI
blime field of wisdom, those whose
combats were single handed with the
conquered sciences and PHILOSOPHERS
that after the lapse Of ages have come
to be the strength and majesty of
mankind. The stamina of our coun-
try consists very largely of patri-
otto, loyal, devoted reverence to lib
erty, and in many eyes the glamour
Of gold-laced coats has more attrac-
tons than the sober aspect of the
scholars garb; but there is certain
moral tendency of the day that is en-
deavoring strongly to divide with a
less show of partiality the crown of
fame between general and pedago-
que. America can feel proud of her
motherhood when its fold embraces
the names of men who have followed
in the footsteps of her Washington,
and she can feel ten-fold gratitica-
ton when, after the days of the war
rior's usefulness are over, she can
turn her great bcaming eye of love
upon such a group as that in the
forefront of which stands Emerson
while about him congregates divine
company of souls who have felt, like
the critic of Solomon, that the simple
drapery Of the lily includes as much
glory and splendor and beauty as the
dazzling vestments Of the Apostle.
The American devotees to the shrine
of Hero worship have therefore two
classes to bow before. The line of
comparison between them is not easily
drawn In these later years the brood
ing Mother of Peace has taught us to

divineness, her educational workers
and founders of moral and govern
mental institutions but in the days of
the grim carnage, when men confronted
men for their rights and liberties, none
were more beloved or worthy venera-
ton than the il'ustrious commanders
OF serted ranks and shattered regiments.
Both, however, are heroes, and it will
soon become an acceptable theory to
deck the brows of the former with the
greenest of bays and divinest emblems
of honor. The mother of our race has

THE DROWNED DREDGER.
Another Version of the story of Captain
Taylor.

Another Version of the story of Captain
Captain John r. Taylor of the oys-
ter sloop Daniel X. Nearing on Tues
day made statement somewhat diff

regard to the drowning of the German
Aleck, hand on his boat, which &C
CURED on Friday morning of last week
The captain, who was dredging at the
mouth of the Choptank river, states
that in the first place he had great diff
Guilty in persuading Aleck to come
aboard of his boat from the vessel of
Captain Gus Langrell, by whom he had
been shipped from Baltimore, and
that when finally he submitted to the
transfer he was very insubordinatc and
at last refused to work altogether. In
cndeavoring to enforce discipline the
captain says that scuf1ic ensued be-
tween him and Aleck, in which he
struck the latter in the face. Upon
this the German consented to perform
his duties. Under this promise the cap
tain went aft. Aleck Immediately there
after jumped from the bow of the boat
and endeavored to swim to the boat of
Captain Langrell, which was dredging
not far distant. His object, it is sup
posed was to join friend aboard of
that vessel.
Although efforts were made to rescue
him, he was drowned.
Captain Taylor, under advice from
his counsel, Colonel Clement Sulivane,
left Cambridge Tuesday evening to at
tend the trial, which will be held in
Easton. He says that he was simply
endeavoring to enforce discipline
aboard OF his vessel in striking AleCk,
and feels clear Of airy criminal inten-
tons. Captain Talyor is young man
of rather progressing countenance.
In narrating the circumstances of the
affair to A. ]. Fobble of Cambridge he
burst into tears and wept for a con-
siderable time.

MAYOR LATRoBE, of Baltimore, made
a deep cut at the "Bosses" when he re-
fused the nomination of the Democra-
tic ring convention on Wednesday last.
There was honor aad principle and
manliness in the tone of his refusal
but, no matter how sharp its point, no
dagger is going to reach the central
heart of bossism corruption except the
dagger of law that will make it a
criminal offence to exert unprlncipled
power over the issues of political ques-
tons.

TIE Nov York EedniRg Post offers its
semi weekly editions to new readers for
the last three months of this year p cents
Its make up includes, besides the news
of Tie half week, the leading editorials
of the daily edition, foreign and domestic
correspondence, personal, p ,litical and
religious notes, book reviews, musical
and dram attic criticism, fam, household,

best current literature, etc. Owing 70 its
thoroughly independent attitude upon all
political questions, the views of the
EceniHg Past are mere eagerly sought
and moro widely copie1 than those of al
most any other newsp lper in the coun-
try. This was the cas- in the last presi

Republican candidate. This has been the

Moses King, the yoang publisher, OF
Harvard square, at Camblidg e, Mass.
had met an unprcccde.,t sncce with his
book called ''Students' Songs''-the sale
already reaching nearly fifty thousands
copies-several publishers brought on
collections of so called student or college
songs. Some of them are legitimate com
petitors; but some appear SO similar in
snaps, in title, in dcsi N or general make
up, as to misled casual buyer who may
be intending to get a copy OF the original
fStudents' Songs which was edited by
VIM. II. Hills, of the Harvard class of
1880, and published by Moses King of
the Harvard class of 1881, the names of
both appearing on the title page of the
genuine collection only. The SUCCESS of
this collection is due chiefly to the fresh
ness of its sixty copyrighted songs; com
prising those jolly and melodious tunes
and peculiar phrase which, within the
past ten years, have arisen and become
generally popular am ,ng the students of
all American colleges. The low price,
too-iifty centS-and the attractive ap-
pearance, also, have had their influence
in making Students Soags' the most
successful book of its class cv. published

advocate than the downfall of ring

The Dress of Modern Fiction.

The cardinal objection against the
lighter literature of the presen- day is
its lack of sincerity. Form is regarded
as of more Importance than substance;
a pretty external drapery is used to
ornament q worthless manikin, and
when the reader expects flesh and
blood he is confronted with wood. The
art which should conceal art is only
art made coarse by artificiality; an in
artistic niggling at petty details; a
commonplace attempt to catalogue
series of readily observed surface phe-
nomena, and to neglect the vital soul
beneath. False art has triumphed over
nature; the morgue has usurped the
place of the arena, and literature has
sunk to the low level of busying itself
with trifies; with drawing its pictures
from the dressmakers' and milliners'
dead models. celebrating the insigniti-
cant. apothosizing the ridiculous and
then claiming for its tiff-jointed. arti-
fieial-voieed manikins the reward that
is due to living men and women whom
