Tux Sun has leading editoriall
on the smutuality Of action which
ought to exist between a great
metropolis and the section Of conn
try of which it is the commercial
centre" It falls into az error how
ever, when it assumes that the
counties have exhibited spirit of |
antagonism to Baltimore city. We
are sure that such lis not the fact,
and We do know that the city has
treated the counties with neglect,
especially the eastern shore and the
southern counties. 1t has permitted
a neighboring city to monopolise a
large share of the business of the
peninsular counties which our own
metropolis formerly enjoyed ex-
clusiyely; and its neglect of the
southern counties is fast driving
their trade in other directions.
There is no wealth in the counties
to aid in projecting new enterprises
and new channels of trade and in
tercourse between them and their
commercial metropolis, and when
appeals are made for material assis-
lance, the reply comes back: 90,
we have money enough to build
handsome store houses and: stock
them with every variety of goods;
we have money enough to buy all
your produce il you can manage to
get it to us by Anticipated steam
boats, sailboats, or wagons, but we
can't afford to aid You in building
railroads; ground-rents and mort
cages pay more certain yield and
you must get along with the faci-
titles already provided for your use,
or induce outside capitaliststo come
to your relief" This is the spirit in
which the counties are met when
they wish to secure closer business
relations with their chief city.
| A timidity in Baltimore's bust
ness men, which they call conserva-
tism, has prevented any very large
concentration of wealth in that city,
but there arc many citizens of Balti-
more who, by combining their CAPT
tai, could bring all the counties of
the State within few hours Of their
business centers s3i get the benefit
all the trade and industry Of the
State. Appeals to them are as vain
az an invocation to the gods. Our
esteemed contemporary must not
therefore charge want of fealty to
his beautiful city on the part of the
counties. They look upon Balti-
moro with pride and are ready and
willing to add to her greatness, her
commerce and her wealth by all the
means within their reach. But they
cannot build railroads.

1T is noticeable fact, says the
"Labor Press that with the growth
of organization spirit of economy
is developing which promises pro-
ducc more permanent benefit than
can be derived from labor organizes
ton itself. The discussions going
on among organized labor create an
anxiety to save and lead to an effort
in that direction. The accumula-
tions of the savings banks through
out the country show a marked inn
provement within the past year, but
much of this is due to the increased
earnings of labor, due to more work
and better wages. Speaking gener-
ally, labor is better employed at this
time of the year than for several
years, and the winter prospects for
employment, both for indoor and
outdoor work, were never better.
This is gratifying news, and coming
from labor organ must be reliable.

HOW THE RING WAS FOUND.
A Detectives Clever Recovery of n
Cluster of Diamonds.

Among the guests at the Double Beach
were Mr.. and Mrs. j. w. Curtis, of New
York, and one evening Mrs. Curtis lost
valuable cluster diamond ring. Ever since
then efforts to recover the ring have been
going on, and recently Detective Brewer, of
the New Haven police force, announced that
he had been successful and showed the gems
as proof His method Of securing them was
unique. The detective was put upon the
case soon after the ring was missed. He
visited all the New Haven jewelry stores,
and at one Of them he was told that gray
whiskered man had shown a ring answering
to the description of Mrs. Curtis. On max
ing further inquiries the detective ascer-
tanned that man with gray whiskers had
worked as a bartender at house at Double
Beach, known as " Aunt Nancy Linsleys.'
He was William II. Barnes, of this city. To
lind out whether Barnes still had the ring
Brewer induced one of his friends to give a
tea party, and among the invited guests
were Barnes and his wife. The suspected
man and his daughter attended II was a
success rs u ten party, but no diamond clus-
ter ring was worn. A theatre party was the
detectives next move. but bad weather pre-
vented the Barnes family from attending.
On Friday night Brewer arranged for an
other tea party, and he saw that one of the
Indies wore q handsome diamond. This
formed subject for conversation, and dur
ing the talk Mrs. Birnes, who was there,
too, showed cluster ring. 1t was handed
about and carefully scrutinized. II certain
ly looked very much like Mrs. Curtis
Yesterday Detective Brewer met Barnes ON
the street and invited him to the Office of the
Chief of Police. There Barnes said he had
found the ring and, not knowing to whom
it belonged, had kept it. A note to his wife
completed the work, and yesterday afternoon
the long-sought cluster was in the hands Of
the police. Barnes will not be prosecuted

Love ana Laughter.

Love and Laughter.
Laugh, and the world laughs with you
Weep, and you weep alone;
This grand old earth must borrow Its mlrth,
1t has troubles enough of Its own.
Sing, and the hills win answer:
Sigh, 1t Is lost on the air;
That echoes bound to joyful sound
But shrink from voicing care
Be glad, and friends are many,
Be sad, and you lose them all:
There are none to decline your nectared wine
But alone you must drink life's gall.
There is room in the halls OF pleasure
For long and lordly train;
But one by one we must all file on
Through the narrow aisles OF pain.
Feast. and your halls are crowded,
Fast, and the world goes by;
Succeed and give, twill make you live.
But no one can help you die.
Rejoice, and men will seek you,
Greve. and they turn and GO
They want full measure OF all your pleasure,
But they do not want your woe
