Notice to Hotel Keepers and all others who deal in

For the information of all persons con-
cerned, the following Act of the Legisla-
ture, passed March oath, 1865, is published:
CHAPTER 1911:
AN ACT prohibiting the sale of Spirituous
or Fermented Liquors in the several
counties of the State on the day of cleo
ton.
SECTION /. Be it enacted by the Gene
raj Assembly of Maryland, That it shall
not be lawful for the keeper Of any hotel,

THE WHITE,

An improved hig arm Sewing Machine.
The advantage of a high arm, admitting
the passage under it Of bulky garments
without missing or soiling the compacting
by them, is too well known to reunire des-
cription.
1t will last IL life time and lis range of
work exceeds that of any other machine.
WARRANTED FOR FIVE YEARS.
Among the many advantages of the
White machine are its needle, selfsetting in
every sense fthe word-always right.
1t has the least complicated, the most
simple, durable and complete shuttle ever
made, simplicity in threading being an es-
pecial feature. The shuttle tension is so
arranged that you can increase il or de-
crease It without removing the shuttle from
the machine or disaranging the work.
All wearing parts Of the White are made
adjustable, SO that any lost motion incident
to long usage can be easily taken up, thus
avoiding the delay and expense in duplica-
ting parts The simplicity in threading the
White is unequaled by any other machine,
and we would particularly call attention
to the fact in either the upper or lower
thread, there is no hole to thread through
excepting the eye of the needle.
For Family Use, Dress Making, Tailor
ing, the White is without peer.

Capt. James Bumgardner, OF Staun-
ton, democl attic candidate for Congress
i'm the tenth Virginia district, says:
hWhat has produced the hard times,
which have now begun to brighten up
little, but which, with brief inter
val of two or three years, have been
trying the country ever since the
year 1882 They have not been con
fined to the United States--high-tariff
France and free-trade England, only
separated by a body of water that
you can see across, have suffered alike
and at the same time, and suffer side
by side. In this country they can be
ascribed to no change made by the
democratic party. for since that party
took possession of the administration
tie tariff has not been touched or changed
in word, figure or letter. The tariff
of to-day is the same republican tariff
that has been in active operation for 10
years. And yet the republicans tell
you that their tariff is a sure guarantee
of good prices for farm products and
good wages for labor. This is their
tariff how do they explain its failure
to give prosperity? From 1861 tc
March 4, 1885, there have been repub-
lican laws, executed by republican adj
ministrations. How do they account
then for hard times ever since 1878
What are the facts about our pros
perity More money has been invest.
ed in Virginia in the last six months
in railroad extensions and manufacture
ing plants than in any year of hel
previous history. With a democratic
President in his seat and democratic
House of Representatives in Congress
with but slight prospect of change
this has been done. What comment
is that upon the apprehensions which
the republican politicians alleged were
felt about the democratic party coming
into power Throughout the whole
South the investment in new plants o.
industry in the last two years has beer
the wonder of the world. The South
once poor, Frustrated, dead and still
has become prosperous, erect, alive
and active, just in proportion that the
democratic party in the South has
demonstrated It's ability in those States
by wise, honest State government, tC
guarantee freedom, safety and protec'
ton. Texas with her 100000 demo
cratic majority and Georgia with hel
10000 democratic majority can BE-
pointed to by every democrat as the
unanswerable first examples of vigor'
Gus, progressive and prosperous com
monwealths under democratic govern
ment."

John Curran, Of the 18th ward Of
Baltimore city, was murdered last
Saturday night He fell victim, says
the San, to his manly confidence in
his own ability to whip one man af-
ter another in fair stand.up fight,
and the story told by witness of how,
while Curran was walking to the tank
house, between Burke and Kennedy,
to eight it out" he suddenly received
blow in the face by Burke, that
made him turn his back on Kennedy;
how Kennedy immediately struck him
down with heavy coupling link, and
how, while he was lying fiat on his
face between the rails, Burke, with a
coupling pin, mashed in his skull, is
as descriptive and horrible piece of
realism as we ever read Of in the re-
cords of the criminal courts or in
the pages of fiction. The murderers
had but recently been appointed
judges of election, but Judging from
the following verdict of the coroner's
jury their political influence will not
save them from hanging. The jury
found that John Curran came to his
death from blows on the head with
blunt instrument, producing fracture
of the skull with depression of the
bone, hemorrhage and subsequent
shock. And we further find that the
said blows were delivered in a cow
ardly and murderous manner and
with malice aforethought by John
Burke, Jr,, and Thomas Kennedy;
and we likewise express our apprecia-
ton of the efficiency and promptness
of the police in the case.

When lands were fresh and fertile
with no phosphate bills to pay, farmers
freely gave to help struggling manu-
facturies. Lands have changed since
then manufactures are firmly estab
lished but they still desire to levy
tribute upon those who built them up
and cry out in holy horror whenever
the impoverished farmer talks of cur
failing his charity to them and help
ing himself. To give longer to such
beggers is neither charity nor sense.
Vote them down and the men who
serve them.

every article Of merchandise they buy

In the Fourth Congressional district
OF this State, a portion Of the republi-
cans wanted to endorse Mr.. Findlay
and another element were in favor of
nominating straight-out. The two
factions fought it out in the primaries,
during which there were disputes,
ballot box stuffings, &C., &C., &c. The
virtuous Mr. Findlay is said to have
encouraged" this exhibition $4,000
worth. Contrasting delegations were
the outcome and the nominating con.
vention was bowling moi" as one
of the delegates termed it. The con-
vention split, one wing endorsing
Findlay and the other nominating j.
Emory Weatherby and it is hardly
probable that Mr.. F. will vote against
another tariff bill.

The present Tariff was only adopted
as war measure and should long since
have been revised. Its tendency is to
make the rich richer and the poor
poorer. The workingman wears clothes
that are taxed; washes his hands with
soap that is taxed; looks IN a glass
that is still more taxed; combs his
head with a taxed comb; looks out Of
his house through a heavily taxed
window-pane and, If he has a mis-
chievous son, occasionally sits on a
taxed tack.
