The Herald's Mistake.

Our esteemed contemporary the Westminster Aduo
cate continues to be edited with pair OF shears ana
a COPY of THE MORNING HERALD. II is needless 70
saw that the advocate is very paper.-bu-
halore M0rning Herald.
We don't like to spoil brilliant paragraph
like the. above, but really the Herald IS mis-
taken. So seldom do we find anything
of interest in that paper that it is the rarest
thing that we ever put our shears into it. 1t
has been some months since we copied any
thing from it. In fact, we cannot remember
when we did. We have never taken anything
from its columns except Maryland news notes,
and then we have always had misgivings asto
their reliability. As the Herald made sim
liar remark about the Sentinel, of this city,
some months ago, it probably meant that
paper instead ofthe ADVOCATE. Atalle events
it is mistaken as to the ADVOCATE.
AS to the ADVOCATE being readable paper,
the Herald is probably correct, for it has a
larger circulation than any county paper in
Western Maryland 1.-THE Herald would use
its shears on the ADVOCATE it might increase
its own circulation. Extracts from the AD-
yocATE might be put in the place of its col
umn advertisement of itself, in the place OF
unsightly stereotype plates, inserted at half
rates, and the disgusting medical advertise
ments which mar its columns.

The President at Gettysburg.

President Cleveland, accompanied by Vice
President Hendricks, Secretaries Endicott
and Whitney, Postmaster General Villas and
Commissioner Black, on Monday joined in
the visit of the Veterans of the Army of the
Potomac to the battlefield at Gettysburg.
The party was in charge of exGov. Curtin.
Gov. Pattison and Congressman Swope met
and escorted the visitors to the cemetery,
where the ceremonies of the day took place.
Governor Pattison briefly welcomed the dis
tinguished visitors, and addresses were made
by Major Maginnis, ex,Delegate in Congress
of Pensions; and General Rosecrans. let
ter from the Count de Paris was also read,
The party then visited the points of chief In,
terest on the battlefield. The President and
party returned to Washington in the evening.
The gathering at Gettysburg is said to have
been the largest there since the war; The
President was greeted by loud huzzahs and
artillery salutes everywhere, while his car
riage, as he drove over the battlefield, was
followed by great throngs.

Plymouth, Pennsylvania, is being rapidly
depopulated by an epidemic that has attacked
a great number of citizens, causing the death
of a large percentage of those afflicted. On
Tuesday seven hundred and thirty cases were
reported by relief committee, and great
suffering exists. No post norton examina-
tons have been made, but the opinion held
by the physicians is that the disease is fever,
complicated with malarial poisoning. The
cause of the disease is said to be the filthy
and uncleanly coadition of the place.

On Wednesday President Cleveland ap-
pointed considerable number of postmas-
tiers in large towns and cities throughout the
country. In most cases the commissions of
incumbents had expired, but in some eight or
ten instances the President suspended the
incumbents. Mr.. Cleveland has determined
to remove all postmasters who have made
themselves politically officious and used their
Offices for political purposes. Postmaster
Palmer. of Chicago, has been suspended for
that cause, and the event has created uneasi-
ness among postmasters elsewhere who are
guilty with Palmer.

Russia having got rid of her trouble with
England over the boundary between her pos
sessions and Afghanistan, is now confronted
with another boundary question. The Chi
nese government has demanded that Russia
withdraw Immediately her outposss in Belo-
chistan, in accordance with an agreement
made some years ago. China, in her tilt
with France, has just learned her power, and
don't propose to be encroached upon by other
governments Since our grain cannot be
sold to England and Russia, we might drive
a trade in rats with China, if she and Russia
try the arbitrament of the sword.

The European war cloud has disappeared
and the dawn of peace succeeded. England
and Russia, after spending millions of dollars
each in preparing for war, have concluded to
try diplomacy still further. England has
agreed that the Lessar line shall be the north
ern boundary of Afghanistan, which is con-
cession to Russia. The attack of Gen. Ko-
maroff on the Afghans is to be submitted to
a third probably Emperor William, OF
Germary--and the case is to be heard at
London. Sir Peter Lumsdeu has been or
dered to London, and is now on his way so
as to be present at the inquiry.

Militia Charge Rioters.


There was riot at Lamont, Illinois, Mon
day morning, in which two strikers were
killed and several wounded. About 1000
strikers gathered at the railway depot with
the intention of capturing the militia, if any
came. They then went to one of the quar-
ries and routed the men at work there. About
this time detachment of militia, under Col.
Bennett, directed by Adjutant General Vance,
met and charged the rioters with bayonets.
The mob withdrew to either side of the road
way and hurled shower of stones at the
troops, one of the rioters firing a shot. Col.
Bennett again ordered the rioters to dispense,
and those who refused to move were prodded
with bayonets, one of them being dangerously
stabbed. The mob retreating up the street,
reformed, and recommended hurting stones.
The troops then fired voley, killing two
men named Andrew Stiles and j ohm Tenegra.
Later in the day all was quet.
