Both sides are claiming the advantage and an

ass.Tbe Baltimore railroad strikers now talk
of boycotting the companies which refuse to ac-
cede to their demands. They will do this by
using their efforts to keep people from patronizlng
those lines. This boycotting business is not IN
accordance with the American ides and is most
repulsive to fair-mnded people generally. We DO
not think that the strikers will ever gain point
by resorting &c such reprehensble practices. Such
things can never succeed in this country.

MARYLAND TEMPERANCE ALLIANCE.

It's lotn annual session IN BALTIMORE tnlS week
Mr.. Edwin Higgins presiding. The committee
on credentials reported chs presence of SOP dele
gates, representing churches, Sunday schools and
Temperance snoietiAs in tho State. Tho committed
on resolutions reported the following platform
which was adopted
"Hesolved, That the Maryland State Temper.
ance Alliance is, and will continue to be, non
sectarian and partisan in character and meth
DDS.
"The liquor traffic is political, social, fnan-
cial and moral evil and should not be sanctioned
by law, nor be licensed by high or low price
"The people Of any community should have
power to veto any privileges granted to the liquor
traffic. We protest against the efforts of some
legislators to deny the right of petition, and will
in sympathy with temperance. Grateful for the
measure of success resultant upon Is years of To-
cal option work, recognize that these successes
have cost vast outlay of time, labor and money,
and we are warned by dear experience that pro-
hibition thus secured is in constant peril of annu
ment at the hands of a few law makers.
eve therefore deem that the time has now come
to relegate local option work to the county, dis.
trict and city organizations, and as state organ
izaton we will henceforth strive for state consti-
tutional prohibition, determined to fight it out on
this line if it takes all the summers OF all the
between now and eternity.
"The coming constitutional convention must
submit prohibition clause and the Alliance will
engage lecturers to further this effort.
"The help of the press, pulpit and women is
asked in the temperance cause.
Congratulations are extended on the passage
of the scientific temperance instruction bill, and
efforts should be made to secure the necessary
amendments"
The determination to leave LOCAL option work
to the county, district and city organizations and
that the State Alliance hereafter try to obtain a
constitutional prohibition amendment is new
departure from the past policy and methods of the
Alliance. Mr.. Edwin Higgins was reelected
president of the Alliance for the ensuing year, and
Mr.. Geo. H. Duncan, of Baltimore county, vice.
president.

It is quite usual for the newspapers,

members as let of stupid OWLS" or, if
milder language is employed, they are de-
nominated ''old grand-mothers." Often.
times. when district Judge is mentioned
in case where his decision is contrary to
popular feeling, he is referred to as IAN
old gIannv," having some legal learning
but utterly destitute of common sense and
knowing nothing of justice. Frequently,
when member of the bar is defeated in
trial court, and upon appeal to the
supreme court is unsuccessful, he ad-
journs to the nearest hotel or
other convenient resort and compliments
the members of the court with a red-not
vocabulary of ''cuss" words. Speaking
more elegantly, be violates extravagantly
one of the commandments. Even our
state judges are not the sole victims of
ridicule and wrath. as the federal judges
are also subject, now and then, to langu-
age not wholly complimentary, and their
decisions are often reversed by the first
newspaper published after judgment is
announced.
am called upon this afternoon to say
something of the ''old owls, the grand
mothers" and the ''old women" of the
courts; about those who are often 'cus-
sed" and discussed" by disgruntled
editors, by defeated lawyers, as well as
others, in anything but favorable terms.
YOU will therefore perceive that my re-
marks cannot be very entertaining.
Many have been appointed to address
you on this occasion, upon more interest
ing topics. They, therefore, should be
better aole to delight and crafty you. and
l have no doubt they will awaken within
your hearts these pleasurable emotions
that musical eloouence ever excites. In
my appearance here, however, have fol-
lowed an old maxim of the law, that "a
good court always extends its own juris-
diction"
For fifteen minutes at least, my jurisdic-
ton is exclusive here. 1t has been ex-
tended from the court room, with its few
listeners. to this opera house, with its
vast audience. For the extension of
my jurisdiction at this time, l
fall back upon the maxim just
quoted q good authority. for its rests upon

The contest row dr. tied from Kansas to
Washington, " her the slave power, with
President Buchan IN at its head, espoused
the Lecompton constitution and endeavor.
ed to force the admission of the state with
It. But the incessant protesting OF the
free state men had produced a visible ef-
feet. Moderate men in the demo-
cratic party began to halt. The north
ern constituencies were mutterlng with
cage. Reeder, Geary, Walker, stanton
all democratic appointees-were knlhng
the infamous fraud at every opportunity.
The great democratic senator from ILL
nois. Stephen A. Douglas. who had cham
pioned the repeal of the Missouri compro-
mise, and had fought the battle Of the
south by the light of his own
burning efieies, ali over his own
state. now threw the weight Of
his magnificent powers into the

some small measure atoned for his past ca
reer and the injuries he had done to Kansas,
bv iuhtine one splendid and mastery
fight in her behalf. Meanwhile, the nee
state men in Kansas were not ldie.
The legislature fully investigated the
frauds of the late elections, took census

that the most of them fed rom the terri
tory never to return. But blind, obstinate
unreasoning. the slave power IN congress
pressed relentlessly onward. They carried
the Lecompton constitution through the
senate by vote of 80 to % and pressed
for victory in the house. Here, however
the storm ragged in vain. The house
defeated the senate bill and adopted a
substitute sending the constitution back
to Kansas to be again voted on. The SEN
ate rejected the substitute and voted for
committee of conference. The committee
of conference reported the English bill
On April B it passed both houses, and on
The 4th of May, 1858. the president signed
it. The essence of this bill was that the
state was admitted under the Lecomp-
ton constitution, but not with the
ordinance of that constitution, but
with a special and exceedingly liberal
grant of public lands, made by the bill
itself, subject to the condition of popu-
tar vote to be thereafter taken, at which
the ballots were to read For proposition
of congress and admission, and Against
proposition of congress and admission.
This virtually finished the business, foI
nobody expected the people in their ther
temper of mind to vote fol
admission under the Lecompton constitu-
ton even though the bribe to do it had
-ivaled the Satanic offer to our Saviour
of all the kingdoms of the earth. The
vote took place August 2, 1858, and re-
suited as follows: For the proposition
1,7SS; against the proposition, IL 300; ma.
jority against it. 9,5l2
Thus the great Lecompton struggle was
ended. and thenceforward the Kansas
shin of state sailed on comparatively un.
ruffied seas toward the final haven Of ad
mission into the union.
