We are i'm receipt of a card an
nouncing that the young ladies of Mt.
Carmel are TO have an ice-cream supper
Saturday eve next FOR the benefit of the
church. These ladies are void of none
of the essential prerequisites that may
contribute 10 the perfect success of the
occasion socially ard financially. Some
friends will be kind enough to have my
obituary in readiness, for i'm contempla-
ton of my "failing" kshould not APP
prehend greater danger in making an
expedition to the North Pole l have
such weakness for refrigerated festiv-
titles, religiously speaking.
Mr.. Stephen Benefits dog was
seized one day last week with a singu-
lar phenomenon characteristic of hy-
drophobia and was killed, making no
further NEGOTIATIONS as yet known.
I am creditably informed that another
dog or two i'm the neighborhood has
acted curiously and has been killed, for
fear that the trouble was of rabid
character. Citizens, while so laudable
an excuse presents itself we ask you to
arise to the righteous magnanimity of
making a clean sweep of the canine
tribe. One cur with fully developed
attack of hydrophObla is calculated to
do more serious mischief during his
brief period of existence than all the
combined virtues of the whole tribe
can atone for in ten years under the
most restricted form of government.
Read the statistics showing the stu
pendous ravages of dogs upon sheep for
a few succeeding years, and charge
your old musket with deadly buck-shot.
Yes, We must openly express our antip.
pathy for dogs. All, listen to the wall
of numberless tired mothers who are
bent oyer the treasured pantaloons of
the small.boy In tedious labor that
unfortunately collided with the officious
eur on making his escape from the
neighbours strawberry patch. No, sir,
We don't loye dogs.
Miss Mamie Morris, of your town,
has been visiting the Misses Spurrier
here for a few days past, returning
home yesterday.
Thomas Baird Is very sick with in.
fiammatory rheumatism ut this writing.
Mr.. w. G. Benefits school at this
place closed last Friday, with some
very pleasant exercises in the afternoon
by the pupils. Premiums were awarded
Misses Rosa Godshaw, Maud Spurrier
and Ella Bennett. Every patron seems
well pleased.
Wheat Is fast ripening now, and here
and there the golden cereal Is already

The gossipy and spiteful Louis
vile Commercial is trying to run
down our worthy fellow-citizen,
Mr. Henry ID. McHenry. 1t rep
resents him as possessed of an insatia-
BILE hankering after office, particu-
larly the First Assistant Post Master

at all in any of its insinuat;ons. Mr..
McHenry is engaged in largely rem
lucrative private business, and does
not care or intend to go out of his
way for the sake of official prefer
ment.

told me, during the conversation, that

brought about by pressure coming from
other points than Kentucky. His
selection was warmly urged by all the

OUR OLD CoNsT77 U7I0N

The time is again drawing near
when the people of Kentucky may
declare at the polls whether they
shall exercise the right of amending
their constitution. If the people, by
a majority of all the votes in the
State, shall, at the approaching
election, vote for calling convention
to make a new constitution, then the
next General Assembly will have to
pass an act during the first twenty
days of its session to again submit the
proposition TO the people at the sue
ceeding election for Representatives,
and if the proposition again receives
a majority of the entire vote of the
State then the General Assembly
shall at the succeeding session pass n
law calling convention to consist of
as many members as there shall be
in the House of Representatives and
no more, 10 he chosen on the first
Monday in August thereafter, in the
same manner and proportion and at
the same places and possessed of the
same qualifications of an election, by
citizens entitled to vote for Repres-
entatives, and TO meet within three
months after their election for the
purpose Of re-adopting, amending or
changing the constitution. 1t will
be seen from the foregoing that if a
majority of all the voters of Ken
lucky shall declare at the next Au-
gust election in favor of constitu-
tional convention, the delegates to
such convention cannot be elected
before August 1888, and not then
unless the call is agsin submitted by
act Of the next General Assembly
passed within twenty days of its be-
ginning and again ratified by popular
vote in August 1887. In the mean
time We are plodding along under a
fossilized constitution which will have
seen forty years service by the time
il can be laid aside; a constitution
which every civil officer is sworn to
support, and by so swearing commits
technical perjury at least, as part
Of it has been annulled by amend
ment to the Federal constitution,
which every officer is likewise sworn
to support. Every succeeding Leg
islature is abused by the people and
roundly censured by the press for
waste, extravaganza and inetiiciency,
when the main fault rests with the
constitution which renders such con-
ditions possible, and yet the people
have repeatedly refused to apply the
only efficient remedy-which is, to
vote for constitutional convention.
Have we not slept long enoughg Are
We to face yet longer the receding
darkness, or shall We wheel Ken
lucky into line with the other States
of the Union, old and new, which
have remodeled their organic law to
suit the changed condition of affairs ?
We anxiously await the peoples re-
Spouse at the polls.

The BOOKS BALANCE.

The books balance, is a favorite
cry of the latter day Republican, and
the hypocritical cant of the the
Republican newspaper. Yes, it is
true, that the books balance, that is,
the cash in the treasury amounts to
the difference shown on the books
between the debit and credit col
umns, but what does that prove?
Does it show that money was not ille-
gally, if not fraudulently ,squandered
IN Star Route and other questionable
jobs Yes, the books balance, and
they would balance if the millions
squandered were in the treasury,
and the credit column less by that
amount, The books balance, and so
they would if Secretary Whitney
were to pay for the Dolphin and
charge the cash paid on the books.
The books balance. and so they
would 4 Secretary Villas had per
mitted the $500, 900 Pacific mail
subsidy paid and had the amount
charged on. the books as cash paid
out. The books balance often,
when The transactions themselves
will not bear inspection. No man
of sense ever doubted that the books
would balance. Many q defaulter has
made his books balance, yet that did
not show that false entries had not
been made or that money had not
been Incorporated. An honest
economical administration Of public
affairs must not only have the books
to balance, but must also have them
show that no money is paid out of
the treasury except for the necessary
expenses of the Government econo-
mically administered. The fact that
the books balance does not show
there was no whisky ring, no star
route jobs, OF, no Pacific mail subsi-
dies. This is the thinnest thing We
have ever heard When Cleveland's
administration ends, not only will
the books balance, but they will
show no money paid out on any Star
Route jobs, or other enterprises of
that character.

THIS remark of Secretary Man

BILE: Under the present Administra-

it is but just that its own people
should hold positions.

The honor was neither sought nor
expected by Capt. Hill, but that it was
most worthily bestowed none will
question. Eight years ago he was
elected to this position and served a
term Of four years in the Kentucky
Senate with great distinction, but de-
clined denomination. His party
having now chosen him again, however,
Capt. Hill feels that he cannot refuse to
make the race and will accept the
nomination.

The ANNAPOLIS CUSTOM HoUsE.--
His Honor Mayor Claude has at
length been moved to take some ac-
tive measures towards securing
suitable custom house and post-oflice
building in this city, for which the
CAPITAL tenders him its thanks. We
are glad to see that the Baltimore
Sun, (the only paper in that city
that ever has good word to say for
Annapolis, has approved of our efforts
to secure the early action of Congress
In this direction. In urging the ina
portance of such building. the
sun" has this to say:
Towns oil much less business i'm.
portance all over the United States
have buildings owned by the govern
ment. The postofice at Annapolis
is insecure, and has been robbed on
two occasions within few years, the
last one entailing considerable loss
The postal business is large all the
time, owing in great part to the Naval
Academy, and every two years, when
the State Legislature is in session, the
mails are immense. The port is also
the centre Of large water carried
trade. As State capital, too, Anna
polls has claims which Congress
should concede Dover, the capital
Of Delaware, having nothing but In
land traffic, is provided with very
handsome postofhce building, which
would be large enough to accommo-
date the customs Office and postofice
of the more considerable town and
port of Annapolis. p"

UNITED STATES CoURT DECISION.
Suit was brought some time ago
BY two irst-class colored passengers
against the steamer Sue, of Baltimore.
Il appears that sleeping apartments
for frst-class white passengers1 were
il the after part Of the steamer, and
for colored in the fore part. 1t was
alleged that accommodations for
whites were superior to those set
apart for colored. Judge Morris has
rendered an opinion in favor of the
solored people He decided that
while the company might make sepa-
rate colored first class passengers
from white. yet the accommodations
given to she colored people must be
fully as good o. those given the white.
The testimony showed that this was
not the case, and the Court signed 9
decree for 500 in each case,

man, Is already agitating the politi-
clans oftbis State. The election viii
devolve on the next legislature, a

Senator Whyte. The friends of each
will of course endeavor to have such
gentlemen as they may rely on nom.
mated as candidates for the next leg
islature In the different counties Of
the State, and the contest Ia the pri-
maries will be an exciting one. The
friends of Governor McLane, who

didate, will not however be idle, and
hope to End many friends OF that gen
tleman in our old State Capitol next
winter. The CAPITAL is an indepen
dent Journal anxious only that good
man shall represent Maryland in the
Senate at Washington; and though it
may have its preference for men, it is
not at this early stage of the canvass
prepared to ally itself with the espec..
ial friends of either Of the distinguish
ed gentlemen that have been named
for the position. All it asks now is,
that the contest shall be carried on in
proper spirit, so that the success or
failure Ut either shall not be suffered
