THE CLEAN NEWSPAPER.


There is a growing feeling in
healthy communities against jour
mails which make it their special OBJ
ject to minister to a perverted taste
by seeking out and serving up in a
seductive form disgusting and lieen-
tious revelations. There is good
reason to believe that the clean
newspaper is more highly priced to-
day than it was four or five years
ago. 1t is also safe to predict that,
as people in all ranks of life who
protect their own, at least, from
contamination, become more con-
scious of the pernicious influence OF
certain class Of journals, called en-
terprising because they are ambi-
tious to serve up dirty scandals, they
will be careful to see that the jour
mails they permit to be read in the
family circle are the class that never
forget the proprieties of life. AL
ready men and women of refine
ment and healthy morals have had
their attention called to the pernic-
ious influence of bad literature, and
have made cOmmcDdaDle efforts to
counterfeit the same by causing
sound literature to be published and
sold at popular prices. These
efforts are working silent but sure
revolution. The best authors are
more generally read today than at
any previous date. The sickly sen.
timental story paper and the wild
ranger and pirate story books, are
slowly but surely yielding the field
to worthicr claimants. To the
praise of the decent newspaper, i
may be said that where it has {
place III the family, and has beer

that the life nature of the slums ha

less during these years attain man
hoods years without trade, without
practical education, and worse than
all without manly purpose. They
are the loafers and the shirkers-
the drones-and they are made so
by the coddling of parents. There
is only one compensation for this
loss of power, and that is found in
the fact that in this country il is
but three generations from shirt
sleeves to shirt-sleeves, from me-
channels frock to mechanics frock
again. The second generation,
grown up in Incidence, run through
with the accumulations of the first,
leaving the third to begin at the
bottom of the ladder again. We
need new teaching in regard to the
early lives of young men; and that
teaching should be that respect
able avocation is the natural safe
guard of every young man, and
that no young man can be so rich
that he should be permitted to look
forward to a life even Of innocent
idleness. Toll in some direction is
as necessary to the development of
manly character and vigor as is food
to the nourishment of the body

A SERIOUS COMPLAINT.

Not long since a resident of a
thrifty New England village re-
marked that it was a matter of re-
greet that the sons of the most enter
prising and valuable citizens did not
promise to be as useful men as their
fathers were and had been. The
fathers as rule had acquired prop
ertY and influence by enterprise and
industry. They began with little,
and while by no means wealthy,
they were the men upon whom the
community relied for it's enterprise
and its business. The sons as a rule
had grown up with good advant-
ages, but instead Of being required
to learn the business in which their
fathers were prosperous, they were
permitted to grow up in idleness. If
their parents had been as poor as
their grandparents, these young
men would have been put to work
at something, but as they were not
they grew up in idleness or chose
pursuits In which there is no oppor-
tunities for education and could have
entered any legitimate business on
better terms than their fathers, but
they show no disposition or ambi-
ton to do so. What is the cause of
this apparent decadence One need
not look far for it. The too com
mon idea is that the chief end in
gaining property.is the leisure that
it can afford to those who have it.
That is doubtless the idea of thous-
ands of men who have achieved a
competency. They remember that
their early lives were full of toll
and privation, and although in the
full maturity of manhood, the last
thing which they would have for
themselves would be an aimless leis-
ure, they take pride in the fact of
being able to prevent their sons
from such lives as were their early
years. The fathers attend to their
affairs, toll early and late, because
they are used TO it, but they permit
their sons to grow up with the idea
that their earlier years at least are
to be free from care and toll. They
are not taught the trades or the av-
ocations in which their fathers have
achieved good names and compe-
tency. Too often they are not kept
at school, but are permitted to
spend the years which should be
devoted TO preparation for success
full lives in purposeless idleness.
Thus they are the natural and al
most sure victims Of every vice and
dissipation. Many of them are
wrecks when they should be enter
ling upon honorable careers. Many
who do not become worse than use

s. SECTTONALISM.3

One of our Democratic cotempor-
aries is kind enough to give the Re
publicans some advice. 1t warns
the party against sectionalism, quot
ing the words of General Garfield in
1878, and applying them to 1883,
namely, "The man who attempts to
get up political excitement in this
country on the old sectional issues
will find himself without party and
without support"
Attempting to manufacture an
ISSUE of any kind, sectional, indus
trial, or what not, is always bad pol
icy. Issues, like poets, are born,
not made. In the inevitable march
of events questions Of public policy
are raised by a process as natural as
the raising OF crop Of grain or hay.
What the party in power does or
fails to do, as the case may be, de-
termines what the minority party
must favor or oppose. Not that
opposition is necessary and wise, If
respective of the merits of the case,
but that the practical demands of
the situation depend upon the course
pursued by those in power. 1t is
true that one branch of Congress
and one branch of the Executive,
for the Senate is both, is and will
continue to be in Republican hands,
but for the most part the Democratic
party is now in position to take the
initiative and determine whether
this or that issue shall be presented
in the next National contest. Three
years constitute quite a long period,
and during that time great many
events may happen to give direction
to public sentiment. Whether the
lines of politics in 1888 shall be
largely sectional or not will depend
upon the administration. The Re.
publican party is pledged to the
principles Of union and justice. II
has upheld and rendered secure the
former; it has tried to uphold the
latter, meeting, however, with poor
success so far as concerns the South
There is not single Southern State
in which the colored veters would
be allowed to exercise the right OF
franchise fully and honestly if such
right would defeat the purposes of
TIE old rebel element. Everybody
knows this to be the case. The diff
fculty is that no feasible way to
remedy wrong so fragrant has been
devised. The fundamental reason
why the Republican party lost the
last election was that it had failed
to solve this great problem. The
people knew very well that the
bulldozers and tissue balloters had
won control of South Carolina, Miss.
issippi, Louisiana, and Florida, and
practically nothing was being done
TO right that intolerable wrong
Mere resolutions adopted by politi
cal conventions accomplish nothing

An Opinion on the Cooper Case.

The Annapolis Advertiser of last week SAYS
"Howard Cooper, the brute whose fendish crime
has been the theme of all the papers in Maryland,
on Monday morning expiated it. The citizens of
the neighborhood who knew him and also the in
nocent and desecrated victim of his vile passions,
assaulted the Baltimore county Jail, dragged him
from thence and hanged him to the nearest tree
We have no regrets at the action of these good
citizens of Baltimore county. Public sentiment
ON the subject is practically unanimous that in all
such cases the punishment should be summary,
and that the slow and doubtful processes of legal
trials do not furnish such q remedy as are ade-
quate to the prevention of crimes of such revolt
ing horror. All the situations and circumstances
of our rural communities enforce the necessity of
crushing all such tendencies whenever they spring
up, with remorseless punishment that speaks to
fendish natures who would be disposed to follow
the suggestions of depravity and morbid lust with
that emphasis that compels them to hear and I'M
derstand its meaning. The impulse that per-
suaded so many of the best citizens of Baltimore
county to the exaction of penalty and the per-
formance of service only justifable on grounds
of supreme and overriding necessity, arose from
judgments and convictions that compass the safe
ty of our homes and their honor and purity, and
to our minds need neither apology nor excuse"

Lauraville, Hartford Road.-quite

Lauraville, Hartford Road.-qute a sensa-
ton was Great here on Sunday morning last, and
it was caused by the following circumstances :
Frederick Glysler, aged "a years, employed by
Mr.. George Emmel, went down to Mr.. Lees mill
dam to battle, in company with August Schneider,
they reached the water, Schneider advised Glysler
to sit down and cool off, but instead, he stripped
and plunged in and was at once seized with cramps
and drowned before his companion realized his
condition. DR.. Darling was summoned, but ar
rived too late to resuscitate him. Justice J. C.
LIE Grand Cole summond jury of inquest, who
rendered verdict of accidental drowning. This
sad accident should be warning to persons not
to go into water when in over heated condition.
The better plan is to allow yourself to become
perfectly cool, and thus avoid the great risk of
being attacked as this young man was.
Some of the members of Eutaw NJ. p. church
went on fishing excursion on Wednesday Of last
week to Fairy Grove and a most enjoyable time
was had. They propose giving an excursion to
Colchester on August 5th. Tickets for the round
trip have been placed at the low price of so cents
and can be had of the mite Society connected with
the church. Public cordially invited.
We have had some extremely hot weather this
week, the mercury ranging as high as 100 in the
shade, but no cases of sunstroke have been re-
ported so far. We need good rain to refresh
growing vegetation. In some instances garden
stuff is suffering for want Of rain.
The new house of Mr.. Linz is about completed
and is certainly an ornament to the neighborhood
1t is fitted up with all the modern improvements,
consisting of gas, hot and cold water all through
the building, and an improved heater in the eel
lar. Mr.. George Sacks was the contractor and
builder.
The Halls Springs cars are now running on
regular time and are doing good business. If
the line could only be extended to Lauraville,
our people would feel better satisfied. The COM
pany that has now charge of the road is very en-
terprising, and the patrons of the road firmly be-
ieve that they will extend the track to this point
at an early day. RESIDENT.

Sunnybrook, 10th District.-Rain is bad
ly needed through this section of Baltimore ooun-
ty. We have had some local showers, and while
they do some good, yet they do not soak the
ground and feed the springs, and as natural
consequence, the streams are very low and some
almost dry.
The corn crop is tasseling nicely and I notice
some very pretty fields in fact it is very rare
thing to see an inferior cornfeld Mr.. Joshua
Evans, who farms the Marble Vale paper mill
place, has most magnificent field of corn, which
is certain for heavy yield.
The bridge which spans the Great Gunpowder
at Marble Vale paper mill, is undergoing repairs,
and persons are compelled to ford the stream,
which is very inconvenient.
Mr.. Isaiah Watkins has just harvested a very
fine field of timothy.
1 notice that the vines of many potatoe patches
have died prematurely, which is said to be caused
by a worm which attacks the heart of the vine,
near the ground. There appears to be no remedy
for this evil. FLINT.

Warren, 9Th DESTRUCTION Saturday after
noon 18th inst, several boys of varied ages passed
up the Gunpowder, near this place, until they
found themselves a short distance above the breast
of the dam, when they Invested themselves
of their clothing and entered the water in
order to have a swim. Some of them were ex-
perts in this aquatic amusement, but unfortunate
ly for one, whose name was Lee Grafton, aged
about fifteen years, son of Mr.. Alex. Grafton,
of this place, not being a good swimmer, soon be-
came strangled, sank and disappeared. Thenews
of his drowning soon spread far and wide and the
flow of people to the spot continual until
late hour. Boats were stationed at the place
where it was said he had gone down. His resting
place was discovered by several young men, who
dexterousy passed underneath until they found
the body imbedded in the mud, but were not able
singly to raise it to the surface. Intellectual at
tempts were made toward recovery with graphing
irons from four o'clock until a late hour and work
was renewed early on Sunday morning and con-
tinued until about one O'Clock, when his body was
brought to the surface and borne to his home
The factory ceased opsEetiqqa that the fpwnH8as
of attending the funeral, which was followed by
large concourse of friends and acquaintances.-
Rev. Mr.. Miles oficiated and with his usual fervor
delivered sermon appropriate to the occasion.
