| sustains this word in its statute place. The
| Baltimore American is sure that, if the issue
were put to vote, the people of the State
| would say emphatically that the word white
must be expunged. Maryland has schools
! for the education of colored children; colored
| militia bear arms for the defense of law and
order; colored teachers teach in the public
schools of the State. These things show that
the people of Maryland do not desire to see
the remnants of slavery in force. Let this
question, then, be kept before the people
until the next legislature is elected, and let
it be made an issue. The result cannot be
doubtful.
The last news from Dr. Holub, the AUS
trian traveller in southern Africa, which was
received several months ago at Vienna, was
anything but cheering. Difficulties beset
him on every side, and the otherwise daring
traveller took rather gloomy view of his
prospects. A few days ago, however, let
ter was received by one of his friends in Aus
tria, written from Linokana, in the north
western Transvaal, in which DIR. Holub
writes that, after some delay, he has over
come all difficulties, and is now amassing a
collection which already equals the proceeds
of his former seven years. tour in the interi-
or of South Africa. The greatest inconven-
fence to which DR.. Holub is at present ex-
posed is the want of native servants, four of
whom, on hearing of the disturbances in the
Transvaal have left the expedition and can
not be replaced. DIR. Holub intends leaving
the Transvaal in the course of a few weeks,
and to proceed further on into regions where
he is recognized as the friend of the native
tribes
Truth is sometimes quite as strange as
fiction, as has been shown by a recent occur
renee IN Maine. "a prisoner charged with
deadly assault was convicted on the testi-
mony of piece of gun wadding. A young
man was shot at a few weeks ago, and inves-
tigation led to the arrest of one Tibbetts,
who claimed to be innocent. Tracks led to
Tibbetts' house from the scene of the shoot
ing, and gun was there found. This
would not have been enough to convict him.
In the house the officer also found torn paper,
which, curiously enough, it struck him
would be suitable for gun wadding, SO he
seized that as well as the gun. Other per-
sons, knowing nothing of this, had picked
up at the place of the shooting, mile and a
half from the house, the wadding fired from
the gun. After the suspected man had been
examined and bound over, the sheriff, in
comparing these pieces of paper, found that
all the pieces picked up in the two places
and by different people fitted together and
were portions of one copy of the Lewistown
1o,, TIa& ,Jo 11%@o cof4 H.
wadding matched those on the paper found
at Tibbetts' house. On this striking circum-
stantial evidence the prisoner was convicted.
This would do for "a detective story" but it
would hardly be looked for in real life.

A Persian Song.

All, sad are they who know not love,
But far from passions tears and smiles
Drift down moonless sea, beyond
The silvery coast of fairy isles.
And sadder they whose longing lips
Kiss empty air and never touch
The dear, warm mouth of those they love;
Waiting, wasting, suffering much.
But clear amber fine as musk
Is life to those who, pilgrim-wise,
Move hand in hand from dawn to dusk
Each morning nearer Paradise.
oh, not for them shall angels pray,
They stand in everlasting light;
They walk in Allah's smiles by day
And nestle in his heart by night.

medicine of which this can be truly said;
and it is an unanswerable argument as to
the strength and positive economy of this

Hoods Sarsaparilla is peculiar to itself.

UNTIL 9th OF FEB.
That is, until we take
account of stock, we
shall not have much to
say in advertisements.
We have quantities of
new goods bought to
arrive early in March.
Some are coming innow,
for instance the new
wash fabrics, Ginghams,
Seersuckers, Indigo
Cambrics, &c; but in
the meantime our chief
aim is to reduce stock,
and to that end there is
only one way that we
know of, namely, max
ing things cheapenough.
You may not want a
winter dress at this late
part of the season-if
you do, you can buy the

enough in all conscience
but how about Silks?
Black Silk is never out
of season, and the time
for Summer Silks is
coming. And yet just
on these two articles at
the present moment you
will find unprecedented
prices IN our store-un-
precedented is just the
word-prices never be-
fore seen on the same
quality of goods.
Never mind why we
are selling these goods
now in such a way. We
have reasons that are
cogent enough to our
selves, and for you-
why, if you get the
goods at three-fourths
to two-thirds Of value
it's all pure saving. Our
competitors are worried,
not to know why, but
A0zO we can sell Silks
in that way. Well, we
are not under any obi
cation to explain, and if
you get Silk so cheap
you needn't puzzle over
the reason.

Unwholesome tenements are very bad
things, but they frequently pay those who
own them well. The city of Paris has lust
had striking experience of the value of
this sort of property. It has been obliged to
pay heavy sums for number of houses in
the Rue des Files de Dieu and the vicinity,
situated in one of the most unhealthy quar-
ters of Paris, and inhabited by ragpickers
and mendicants. The owners of these houses,
which the city resolved to demolish, claimed
upwards of 5000, 900 francs for their inter
est. The city offered nearly 5000, 900
francs and the jury awarded the sum of s.
325, 900 francs. One of the owners received
as compensation the snug little amount of
5e7, 500 francs.
The rebellion of the exhibitors at the New
Orlesns show indicates how badly that affair
is managed. Notice had been formally Civ
en- that permanent admission cards to exhib-
.
but only few were issued on that day, and
none on the 10th, when a committee was ap-
pointed to consult the managers. A third
notice to go to still third place for tickets
smoothed matters over until Wednesday, the
11th, when another delay was followed by an
indignation meeting of exhibitors who pass
ed vote that rather than continue to paw
the regular admission fee they would enter
by force; and this they did. The gate-keep-
ers were overpowered and the mob swept in
to the buildings with rush. The city pa
pers are imploring the country to draw dis
tinction between the business portion of
New Orleans and the individual managers of
the exhibition.

VISIT FROM THE NATIONAL
EXECUTIVE TO GEORGIA,

It will be pleasant and fitting thing if
President Cleveland accepts the invitation
to visit the National Commercial Conven-
ton at Atlanta, Ga, next month. Ihot
is the SORT OF thing that the South wants
far more than Federal Offices. 1t wants to
be recognized at every step taken in pro-
gress. Il has soreIy suffered from the cold
shoulder Of former national adm inistra-
tions in this respect. Nobody believes
that if such gigantic exhibitions as the
Atlanta Exposition and the New Orleans
Exposition, had been held at Chicago or
Cincinnati, that they would have been left
without the presence of the Executive of
the Nation. The machinery at Chicago
would not have been started by electricity,
but by the hand OF the President. The
South. the new South, is striding forward,
and we wish at every step to have the same
sor6 of recognition that other sections get.
In twenty years but one President has
come below the line. We want Presi
dent to go to Southern watering places in
the summer, now and then, and go to pub
lie demonstrations in the South as they do
to those at the North. There will be many
and grand exhibitions of material progress
in the South before President Cleveland's
term expires, and at some of these the
Southern people should like to have him
present.

1t is the truth of history" that we are en-
deavoring to get at in reminding the VINDIcA-
TOR of its error in serking to deprive the Re-
adjusters of the. credit of emptying the jalls Of
the insane. This much it must admit: Until
the Readjusters were in control of the finances
of the State and Massey was made Auditor
there were no funds in the treasury to com
plete the improvements and thereby make
room for the lunatics huddled in jails. The
administration of the asylum might have been
most admirable, and we have no disposition to
reflect upon it, but it was powerless to carry
out its intentions without money, and that
money ao0s not supplied until the control of
the finances was taken from the Democratic
party. The whole case in nutshell is: That
the prisons were filed with the unfortunates,
until the means to make provisions for their
transfer were in the public treasury, subject
to the daft of the Directors of the Asylum.
The public treasury was empty as long as the
Democrats were i'll power Until the money
reached the Treasury the lunatics remained in
j ills Until the Readjusters assumed control
0 the State finances the treasury was bank
rapt.- Valtey Viaylnian.
The facts of record which constitute the
truth history" are, if our cotempora-
will examine the record, as follows
| When the Readjus er party got control of
the finances in 1879, they did not appro-
pirate one dollar to the Asylum. nor did
| they appropriate. money until 1882, when
| officers OF their own party were put there.
| From 1879 to 1882 the Asylum was sup
| ported land the new buildings to enlarge its
capacity, were erected on boTroased money
| rhe money was borrowed from the banks
| here on the individual notes Of the mem
| bers of the Democratic Board and or
drafts which Auditor Massey consented
the Directors might draw and he There
being no appropriately would endorse.
The accommodations which enabled thu
jails to be emptied were erected by q
Democratic Board on credit or On their in
dividual obligations. This is the Tecor(
and it is Interchangeable. The books of thu

DUGE MARKETS.

Wheat closes at ST. 90 to $1,02, the bulk
of the sales being at the inside price. Corn
planting has interfered very materially
with delivering, as also a disposition to
await further developments in Europe,
where the war cloud has been rapidly
thickening, but it does not yet appear GER
tain at all whether it will burst or pass
away. The latest crop reports are more
encouraging. The warm weather is bring
ing out the wheat wonderfully, so that
while it cannot be denied that the pros
pect for the growing crop is not by any
means fattering, it is better than it was
month ago.

if it is understood that the campaign for

Senator between Messrs. Daniel and Bar
bour, neither of those gentlemen would
consent to occupy the position of Chair
man Of the State Central Committee. The
power of the State Central Committee of

much sought by candidates for the legis-

and neither of the gentlemen named would
be likely to occupy a position that was

THE IRON TRADE STILL CREEP
ING UP.

TIE revival in iron manufacturing is
still advancing, slowly but surely, sure
sign Of the lessening Of the distance to the
better times so much longed for by the
country. The Shoenberger's Iron Mills
at Pistsburg, employing 500 hands, have
just resumed work after four months of
idleness. Advices from the Lehigh valley
say that the Lehigh Iron Company is in
blast again after lying idle for seven
months, while the Ferndale rolling mills
have started up after having been idle
more than year. The trade in the Ma
honing Valley in Ohio has picked up. and
eli eht Of the eighteen blast furnaces there
are again in operation. At Cleveland the
Cleveland Rolling Mill Works were oblig-
ed TO double their daily product before
the cad of March. The Brown Seamless
Metal Company on April 1, opened large
shop IL Cleveland for the purpose Of
manufacturing steel tubes. Orders for
lake ore, ranging from 5000 to 5000 tons
each, were freely placed, and season char
tiers for ore vessels were made at 81 .05 a
ton. At Warren, Ohio. the Westlake roll
ing mill started up about the same time
after a prolonged idleness. and new COM
pany, the Cooperative, was formed to
build mill in Mineral Ridge.
At Pittsburg the Carnegies' Union Iron
Works began running about he same
time. making links from steel plates for
the Susquehanna Bridge. The pudding
department Of Oliver Bros. & Philips re-
sumed work April 1, after three months
idieness. In the East, the PeeksEill foun-
dries have again started up, after having
been idle the most Of the winter. From
every quarter the news Indicates slow,
but noticeable returning health to bust
ness.
