The prospect for lively little camp
in Galena this Summer is good. There
are some five or six mines working
that are taking out ore on an average OF
three tons daily to the mine, says the
Central Nevadan, which assays FROM
500 to $500 to the ton. The machinery
for the new mill under course of con-
struction by B. F Wilson arrived this
week, and will be speedily put sin
place, and when completed, the mine
owners will be able to get their ore
reduced al home, which will be great
convenience, as well as saving of
money. Mr.. Wilson has stayed with
the camp for many years, striving
to develop the rich mines that he knew
existed there, and he is now reaping
the reward for his persevering labors,
for 1t is an assured fact that there are
mines in Galena that will pay 10 work.

The Temperance Alliance not a Nor
PartIzan Organization.

IVA eADuH "a = UhiSuNAOh'
The action of the Rev. #. L. Poul
son in severing his connection with
the Maryland State Temperance ALI
ance we commend to all sincere
friends of the temperance cluse as
worthy of imitation. The Alliance
was organized to advance the cause
o. temperance, and until last year it
did its WORK well and was deserving
of support and encouragen ent. AT
that time, however, a clique of selfish
and ambitious men obtained contrOI
of the organization, and, solely for
their own aggrandizement, diverted
it from its original ard legitimate
purpose to make it a side-shoW to the
Democratic party. That movement
brought no honor to the men who en-
sineered it, but it gave them the no.
tnriety which they coveted, and whet-
ted their apletites for more glory of
the same questionable kind.
AT the last annual meeting of the
Alliance these schemers were on hand
in force, and the adoption of the res
olution declaring the Alliance to be a
non-partizan organization was a mere
blind to hide their real purpose. We
have no hesitation in affirming that
all protestations to the contrary, the
Maryland State Temperance ALI
ance is in the power Of the very men
who are the leading spirits in the
Prohibition party, and who, when
they consider that the proper time
has arrived. will prostitute the ALI
anre as ii was prostituted last No
Yember.
Mr.. William Daniel has seen fit to
tell a reporter that the non partizan
wing of the Alliance came to the eon-
Nention prepared to snub him and
those who believed in him. Such
purpose would have been laudable.
for we know of no man in this state
more worthy of the censure of the
true friends of Temperance than is Mr..
Daniel. But the facts do not bear out
the assertions Of the late candidate for
the Vice Presidency of the United
States. On the contrary, it appta airs
plain that Mr.. Daniels followers
made up their minds to run the con-
vention, and that they succeeded in
carrying out their plans. The adj
dress of welcome was made by a st.

called upon President Cleveland to
talk about Maryland appointments.
Amongst other matters the postmas-

we are told that the President said
he would be pleased to make the
appointment in accordance with the
recommendation of Senator German.

Colonel Bradley Johnson, nf Bhlti-
more, the noted Confederate off
'er, has been to Washington 10 warn
Secretary Manning against doing too
much for Senator German. He
spoke freely before a room full Of
visitors. General Johnson said APP
prehension was general in the State
of Maryland that the Federal patron
age of the State was to be used to
promote the fortunes of one gentle
man, and secure his reelection to
the Senate. That impression, he
thought was exceedingly injurious
to the party. He did not share in it,
and he urged the Secretary by some
public act to demonstrate that it was
without foundation. That public
act, he claimed. could only be the
appointment of a man 10 some con-
spicuOus place, who, it will he appar-
ent, was selected because of his
qualifications and fitness, and not
for personal considerations.
He said that gentlemen of his
views considered it extremely inn
pOrtant that the Federal patronage
should be kept out of the local politi.
cal struggles in Maryland. He did
not ask that any appointments should
be made for the purpose of injuring
any gentleman's political aspirations,
but urged that it would be equally
understood that it was not to be used
in favor of any one. 1t ought, he
thought, to lie bestowed upon the
whole Democratic party of the State,
and not for or against any one. The
experience of the Republican party
in New York, in the case Of Secretary
FOlger, showed how the people would
resent any interference by the Fed.
eral Administration in their local
affairs. General Johnson then gave
a brief view of the political situation
in Maryland from his standpoint.
The Secretary, in reply. said he would
bear in mind what General johnson
had said on the subject.

Hitherto there haye been, few hene-.

shall be taken down, and the Presi-

enforced.
The veto message of the Governor
OF Dakota, declining to sign the bill
providing for woman suffrage in that

deliverance, the burden of his excel

Criticising Secretary Bayard.

Wash. Cor. N Y. World (Dem.)
4 X y For all Of the blunders of the
Administration. or for all of the mis-.
takes for which the Administration
will be held responsible, one must
look to Mr.. Bayard, the member Of
the Cabinet who has had the longest
experience in public life. 1t would
seem that long public career does

dom, but that on the contrary it may
often so initiate him with ideas of his
own importance, so preduiice his
mind with the warp of unquestiona-
BILE power, and so separate him in
sympathy from the.peopIe as to make
him the worst of political actors.
The country has expected much from
Mr.. Bayard. His views ofthe duties
of public officials have always been
high. yet in the practical application
of his duties as Secretary of State he
has become the object Of the greatest

On Monday next the May Term of
the Circuit Court for Garrett county
commences. The several dockets
are small and from members of the
bar and other officials of the Court we
learn that the term will probably be
a short one. If the weather contin-
ues fair it will be a great hardship
upon farmers to be in attendance to
the Court as jurors or otherwise, and
the shorter the term the better it
will suit them at this busy season of
the year. Atevery point from which
we have any information legal bust,
ness seems to be decreasing, and
the dockets of the various courts get
ting smaller. We think this is an
encouraging sign and we hope the
term will come when men may be
able to so conduct their business that
there will be no necessity for law
suits, when men will obey the law
and crime cease.
This state of affairs would perhaps
be hard on the lawyers, but it would
certainly be better for everybody else
and as we are in favor of the great.
