PoOr's Mems Wives Love Them Best.

No woman will love a man better for
being renowned or prominent. Though
he be first among men, she will be
prouder, not fonder; as is often the case,
she will not even be proud. But give
her love, appreciation, kindness, and
there Is no sacrifice she would not make
for his content and comfort. The man
who loves her well is her hero and king.
No less hero to her though he is not to
any other; no less king though his only
kingdom Is heart and home. 1t is q
mans own fault II he is unhappy with
his wife In nine cases out of ten. 1t Is a
very exceptional woman who will not be
all she can to an attentive husband, and
very exceptional one who will not be
very disagreeable If she finds herself
willfully neglected.

Kings Hedged by Bayonets.

"The divinity which doth hedge about
king" according to the immortal Will
liam, was considered sufficient protec-
tion for their majesties in olden times;
but when royalty walks abroad In these
days of socialism and dynamite there
must be special details OF detective po-
lice, In addition to the large bod yguards
which usually accompany emperors and
kings. People take very little stock in
the divine rights Of kings in our degene-
rate times, and look upon their majesties
as neither ornamental nor useful, but
very expensive Injuries.

The Logic of Results.

The Republicans in Baltimore city and
their independent Democratic allies, went
into the campaign without any issue or the
declaration of any political principle. They
made the defeat of Senator German their
watchword and battle-cry. There was nc
charge that Democratic administration in
city or State had been wasteful, extravagant
or inefficient. No reason was given why
the State should be handed over to the con.
troll of Republican principles. The whole
effort was to secure the Legislature, in order
to elect some one in Mr.. Germans place.
AS preliminary the coalition made des'
perate fight for Judge Brown against Mr.
Hodges, the regular Democratic candidate fol
Mayor. Many Democrats voted for Judge
Brown on personal grounds, but the fusionists
were defeated and on Tuesday their over
throw was complete.
The result, in Baltimore city at least car
not well be construed to mean anything else
than vote ofconfdence in Senator German
and an expression of thanks to the mar
under whose brilliant leadership the Demo
cratic hosts were organized and led forward
to victory last fall.
The brilliant victory won by the Demo
Gratis in Maryland must also be regarded al
an endorsement of the administration ofPre
sident Cleveland. 1t would have been sham,
ifa Democratic State like Maryland had at til,
outset of the first Democratic administration
at Washington for 20 years, turned asid,
from the Democratic path she has followed
since the close of the war, thus indirectly
censuring the President and his policy. Th,
Democratic party has come to stay, but tt
retain power it must deserve it, by a stric
adherence to sound Democratic principles, OF
which alone the prosperity of this country
can permanently rest.

Gen. George B. Mcclellan died suddenly at
his summer residence, Orange Mountain, N.
j., ON Wednesday night of last week, from
neuralgia of the heart Gen. Mcclellan was
born in Philadelphia, in 1885, and graduated
at West Point in 1916, as second in his class.
He was promoted for gallant services in the
Mexican war; and was a member of the mill
tary commission sent out to the Crimea, dur.
ing the war between Russia, Turkey, Eng
land and France. In 1857 he resigned from
the army and became engineer in-chief and
vice president of the Illinois Central Rail-
road In 1860 he was made President of the
st. Louis and Cincinnati Railroad Upon
the breaking out of the war he organized the
volunteer forces of Ohio and was soon after
commissioned Major General in the Federal
army. His first service was in Western Vir-
ginia, where he met with so much success
that upon McDowell's disaster at Bull Run
he was called upon to reorganize the shatter-
ed and broken Union forces. Subsequently,
as commander of the Army of the Potomac
he undertook 10 capture Richmond, by way
of Yorktown but was defeated by Gen. Lee
at Malvern Hill and compelled to seek the
shelter of gunboats on the James river.
Unable to get achievements and being
repulsed three times he was superseded by
General Pope. What was left of his army
returned to Washington, its ranks were fill
ed up, and Pope was also defeated at the
second battle of Bull Run.
Mcclellan was again restored to command
and fought the bloody battle of Antetam, in
Maryland, which resulted in Gen. Lees
withdrawal into Virginia.
Gen. Mcclellan was Democrat and hos.
tile influences were at work against him in
Washington. Every obstacle was thrown
in his way, as though it were feared that if
the war should be successful under Demo-
cratic general it would restore the Democrat
ic party to power. The feeling against Nc
Clellan increased, and being relieved of his
command by Burnside he retired TO his home
in New Jersey.
In 1864 he was nominated for President by
the Democrats, but was defeated by Lincoln.
His public career was closed by his election
as Governor of New Jersey. He was in the
50th year of his age.
Gen. Mcclellan, as military organizer,
probably had no superior. He was careful
and considerate of his soldiers, and unlike
Grant, depended more upon strategy than
brute force. Besides being an able general
he was man of fine literary attachments
and polished, graceful writer.

The Democratic Victory.

We sincerely congratulate the Democrats
ity they gave on Tuesday for their State and
local tickets. The hue and cry raised against
several of the Democratic candidates no
doubt had an effect in causing some Demo-
Gratis to split their tickets, but the election
was fought, generally, on party lines, and the
vote cast for the respective State tickets rep
resents about the strength of the two political
parties in the county
The result is an effective rebuke to the
style of campaigning resorted to by some of
the Republican leaders, and it shows, too,
that the people of Hartford county are not
easily deceived by misrepresentation and I'M
just partisan attacks upon Democratic county
officials.
The vote given for Messrs Walker, Hope
and McDoon, especially, is full and com.
plete vindcation of the present board Of
County Commissioners from all the unjust
and unfounded aspersions that have been
cast upon their management of the affairs of
the comfy. Each of them has ali increased
vote over that cast for him in 1888
We reassert that the affairs of Hartford
county have been faithfully and honestly adj
ministered by the present Commissioners, and
the people of Hartford county, last Tuesday,
rendered verdict to that effect. II any re-
forms are needed the newly elected board will
institute them, without revolutionizing the
county.
The Democrats can scarcely realize the
magnitude of the victory they have gained or
satisfactorily account for it, There was no
apathy on either side. In this county the
Democratic ticket was nominated after pro-
tracted canvass, by q fair, free and intelligent
vote of the party. The Republican ticket,
although selected by few men, was COM
posed of the best men of their party, and
chosen with view to ensure success The
Temperance Alliance was also brought in to
aid in the election of certain Republican can.
didates, but in spite of everything the Dem
ocratic ticket has swept the county by larger
majorities than for years The fact is once
more demonstrated that the heart of Mary
land beats in unison with Democratic senti-
ments, and that party whose only campaign
arguments are abuse, Misrepresentation and
SANDER can never hope to succeed in Hartford
county or in the State of Maryland.
