NOON.
Ten years had passed. 1t was the height of
the season i'll New York. Society had never
been Sayer. Balls, parties, cotillions, claimed
the night, and in the afternoon there were
high teas and kettledrums TO demand the at
tcntion of the fashionable world 1t was Just
before great financial crash, and the people
who were precipitating it danced over their
waning fortunes, as Nero tiddled while Rome
burned. No extravaganza was too great, no
form of entertainment too grand for these
Sybarites who could only find srrcease from
anxiety in the feverish excitement of the ball
room the theatre.
Mr.. and Mrs. Guy Trevor were among the
gaycst Of the gay. No party complete
without them, no cotillion was considered of
any account unless it was led by Guy Trevor.
He was rich banker, courted, feted carcssed.
His mandates ruled Wall Street, and by the
closing or shutting of his hand he could con-
troll stocks to make the fortunes of men or ruin
them. As her husband ruled the street, so did
Mrs. Trevor rule society. She was its acknow-
lodged queen. The men rayed about and the
women enved this Boston beauty who had
come among them and by her grace and wit,
as well as her beauty, enthralled all hearts.
It was different life from that quiet one at
dear old Leno1 where the young minister and
his promised bride were SO happy. Guy still
retained all mis- love for his beautiful wife, but
the memorable demands of business kept him
from her during the day, and society had so
many claims upon her that 1t WAS only as they
rode home together i'll their carriage from
some ball or theatre party that there was any
opportunity for an exchange of thoughts or
sentiments between them.
And how had all this come about? Simply
because Guy Trevor, the preacher, was in adj
vance of the times III which he lived His ideas
Were too broad, too liberal, too advanced. His
people We're willing to go with him certain
lengths, but they demanded certain modicum

A Christmas Time story
MORNING.

BY GEORGE W. HowS.
Port Tobacco times, and Charles County advertiser., 1886-11-12

At the recent congressional elections, so
far as heard from, SAYS the Washington
correspondent Of the Baltimore Sun, there
was no compliant from any responsible
quarter of force or fraud in any of the large
cities. Such has not been the case before
for twenty years. 1n New York, the larg
est city in the country. and where there
were SO many conflicting interests involv-
ed in both the local aud general elections,
there has not been the slightest whisper OF
any improprie:y. Ia Cincinnati, where
two years ago, the republican United
States marshal appointed a perfect army
of ruffians and put revolvers into their
hands, with instructions to shoot, no com
plant comes of any brow beating or ballot
box stuffing. 1t is 50 everywhere, and the
fact furnishes another i.lus ration of the
regard for popular righ's hela and main
tanned by this admins ration. All this
has been eff :cted at a cost for federal su-
pervision at the poll: not much more than
fraction of what has been expended on
the occasion of similar elections in the
past. In some of the big cities no deputy
marsha's were appointed, in others much
reduced numb r, and in every instance the
stern injunction was laid upon these off
cials that under no circumstances would
any partisan conduct be tolerated upon
their part, and that they must confine
themselves vigorously to the strict line oil
their duties.

Bartholdi exhibited sagacity, no doubt
in selecting New York as the American
city most in need of enlightenment, but in
presenting New Workers with his colossal
statue he made the sad mistake of not pre-
senting with it the funds to keep Liberty's
torch lighted. That torch is already ex-
tinct, and benighted British mariners en-
tering the harbor of the metropolis of the
western hemisphere miss its benignant
rays. The reason why Liberty thus inter-
mits her work of enligh'ening the world
is that it costs about $40 night to keep
her electric lights going, and New York's
merchant princes are too poor to stand
that. They want the lighthouse board to
use the national governments money to
operate Liberty's dynamos, but the Treas
ury Department does not feel authorized
to spend the peoples cash for purposes of
local glori6cation. The department even
intlmates that Liberty's rays may prove a
nuisance to navigators by dazzling their
eyes, as did the electric light at He'll Gate,
which has been discontinued. 1t must
not be inferred, however, from what has
been said, that New York has no patriots
willing to keep Libery's torch ablaze.-
She has them in great numbers in her
manufacturers of electric lighting appara-
tus, who desire to use Bartholdi's great
work TO boom their business Sun.

Major W. w. Goldsborough, of the Sec
ond Confederate Maryland Infantry, has
called on all ex Confederate soldiers to re-
port to him for the excursion of the 10Th
instant to Gettysburg battlefield, where
the Maryland monument will be dedicat-
ed that day. 1t is expected that the sur
viving members of the Second will be join
ed in this demonstration by many ex-Con-
federates residing in Maryland, and that
large number of ladies will participate
in the exercises on the battlefield. The
address on the occasion will! be delivered
10y Capt. George Thomas, of st. Mary's
county, who was the adjutant of the Sec
ond Maryland Infantry. The ex Confed-
crate associations of the State will parti-
cipate. The monument, which has already
been erected on the field, is handsome
piece of work. Many Charles countians
participated in this battle though we have
not heard that any of them propose taking
part in the approaching celebration.

Congressman Morrison Interviewed.

1t is understood that probably one half
| of the outstanding three per cent bonds
are now in the treasury vaults, held as Sc
curlty for national bank circulation The
treasury has the option OF calling in these
bonds until all are exhausted. If the pre-
sent rate of call should be kept up the en-
| tire amounnt of less than $4,000, 900 will
be called in six months. The four per
cents. cannot be called before 1907, but
| the premium on them is so excessive that
the national banks cannot afford to buy
them to secure their circulation. 1t is
considered almost necessity that Con-
gress should take some action at its ensu-
ing session on this subject if the national
banking system is to be preserved As
has been stated, the comptroller of the
currency will in his annual report make
some suggestions in this connection, and
the Secretary of the Treasury will in all
probability also advert to it. 1t has been
suggested that two per cent intercon-
vertible bond be issued as basis for
bank circulation, and it is probable some
proposition of this kind will be urged.
As there is quite strong element in both
houses opposed to the continuance of the
national banking system, it is however,
difficult to foresee what will be done 1t
is estimated that there is now in circula-
ton close on to $4,000, 900 of national
bank notes. The banks have long since
had al the advantage accruing to them
by their circulation, and the notes of each
bank passing current in every lection of
the country are scattered far and wide
There is no method provided for their re.
demption outside of the option ef holders.
and as the treasury is responsible for them
the majority of the circulation would
most likely not he presented for redemp-
tion for years, even il all rhe banks were
to wind up and 60 out Of exis ence as such.
1t was stated some time since ia this cor
|respondence that several national banks
had notified the comptroller of their pur-
pose TO WIND up and reorSaulze rs State
institutions, and since then more banks
have given the same notice The national
bank system has This advantage to the
public, that the notes of bank are ALWAYS
good, whether the institution fails or not,
but it does not seem to have been demon
strs ed that either shareholders or Geposi-
tors are any better protected than IN State
or private banks.

As the smoke from the battle Of the late

that the Democrats not only held their

gained partial advantage over their I'd

Thirty five 80 called Democratic con-
gressmen voted against the consideration
of the bill to reduce the tariff Twelve
only of them have been reelected. And
yet the protectionists say the cause of the
late Republican gains in congressman was
the low tariff ideas of the Democrats
The vast majority of the people of this
country are farmers, who, knowing that a
high tariff increases the price of ali they
have to buy, and decreases the price of all
they have to sell, must be in favor of low
tariff, and all of them would so vote if the
question were put to them squarely, as
those Of Minnesota did at the late elec-
tion.

Mr.. Carlisle Elected.

The election of Hon. John G. Carlisle,
Speaker of the House of Representatives,
which from the first reports received was
doubtful, has been assured by the official
returns from his district by majority of
upwards of 700, and the Democrats of the
country breathe treer for know edge of
the welcome news. 1t would have been a
severe blow to the Democracy to have been
de prived of so conspicuous leader at
this time, and it would have supplement-
ed the defeat of Mr.. Morrison in such IA
manner as to have hurt materially the
cause of revenue reform. IT the friends
of protection or the Republican leaders
did not engineer the election in that dis
trict with a view of quietly and stealthily
defeating Mr.. Carlisle, they are row GER
tainly mad with rage and chpgrin for neg
lecting so favorable an opportunity.
1t is now evident that Mr. Carlisle's
close cal was due entirely to Democratic
apathy and over-confidence The vote cast
for his opponent was about the same that
the latter received two years ago, but it ap-
peared so large this time because the Dem
ocratic vote was not cast, all hands being
satisfied that Mr. Carlisle would have from
five to seven thousand majority, and each
fancying that it was not necessary to exert
himself to cast his ballot as there would
be plenty without him This confidence
came near costing the district not only a
representative, but inflictine upon the IA,
tion a severe political loss, and it should
prove lesson tha. will not soon .c for
gotten, even 10y Labi'ually careless vot rs.
Had the opposition been little more ac.
tive in the outlying counties i, might have
captured he district and dealt the Demo
cratic party paralyzing blow.
Mr.. Carlise is very much wanted in Con
gress at this time. Many of the most ex
pericnced Democratic representatives, have
been defeated either for nomination or re-
election. The mass of its representatives,
are new men, while the Republicans have
wisely retained their ablest and keenest
If the majority were larger than it is i,
would require consummate skill and vigi-
lenca on the part of most alert dominant
party to achieve anything in the face oi
such an opposition. How much more al
sea will the Democrats be with so small a
pluralityl They will be hampered and
crippled and embarrassed and iricked in
% situations from which it VIII lie hard
tor the best generals to extricate them
Hence, the election Of Hon. :. : Cox from
New York and the safety of Mr.. Carlisle
have given a fe. ing Of secure satisfaction
TO Democrats throu- hout the country and
relieved them from the strain Of suspense
into which the frs returns threw them.

administration in holding the House in
the off year election, to say nothing of the
gains in the Senate, has Jared better than
that of Tyler, or Polk. or Fillmore, or
Pierce, or Buchanan, or Grant, or Hayes,
or Arthur, all of whom lost the House at
the second Congress of their adminstra
ion. When it is remembered how far the
present administraio ion has departed from
the traditionary party usages, by the bold
stand 1t has taken in the matter of civil
service reform, and the natural slackening
OF party allegiance and support expected
to result from this policy, the unusual in
dorsement this administration has received
from the country will appear still more re-
markable. 1t demonstrates that the Dem
ocratic party is party of principles and
not of spoils and it gives satisfactory as
surance that it has come to stay.
