The Democratic advocate. [volume] (Westminster, Md.) 1865-1972, 1886-11-20
From Berret.

On Sunday morning, 7th inst.,. Charles
Dorsey, of this vicinity, an industrious,
oniet and inoffensive colored man, was found
dead in his home. He was about sixty years
old, and leaves wife and several children.
Justice Dougherty was called, but being sat,
isfed that death was the result OF natural
causes declined holding an inquest.
While we believe that LUX has SAID enough
to convince any rational man OF the taliacy
of protection, we regret that his articles are
at an end. They have been read with interest,
and had the desired effect upon some who
were thought to be impregnable, and we are
of opinion that if the press generally would
follow the lead of the ADvocArE, and discuss
important items away from the heat OF cam
paign fires, the effect would be far more ben
eficial. -,
We find that your Day correspondent, with
his train of eternal process, is still moving
on, and in his fight carefully evading every
point in issue-he sweeps away and still
away from the finite to infinity, and now he
asks will we leave him or follow on 'adown
the interminable vista of eternal process, away
and still away Now if we could but step
aboard his train and close that eternal throttle,
we might ssfetch him up at our "only, lso-
lated. fnnr eomet.n second class way station,
where with his ''leading trait of Christianity,
charity he would doubtless ''lend helping
hand.h and with his Hebrew, Greek and
Latin, and inevitable unabridged, assist us IN
revising our Historic Sacra so as to make IT
concord with his 'more reliable histories.
But we fear this can't be done, SO we will have
to let him go away and still away, but we
shan't attempt to follow, or we'll be out OF
breath again. Now, while he is moving on
in search of his lost harmony, we will turn
aside to his starting point, the region OF earth
quakes Here we find things just as we LETT
them, great matter mass kept within bounds
by an external crust" But in his haste to
sweep away he failed to tell us what keeps
within bounds" the water that is upon the
outside of this crust. Next we lind that he
has two antagonistic influences acting In con-
cert to accomplish two grand results. First,
to make a great herculean grindstone of this
earth, and secondly, after the man IN the
moon has ground his axe, to burst 1t asunder
with ''wild destruction" and stir up more
confusion in eternal process moving on than
our man of sin ever did. Now our Historic
Sacra tells us that when the earth was first
created it was without form and void, and
while in this shapeless condition the only IN
fluence brought to bear upon this inert molten
mass was an inert infinity called gravitation
or centripital force, which produced its con-
globation, but subsequently another influence
was introduced-by diurnal revoluton-ealled
centrifugal force. Now, as the former force
was equally distributed around the globe, it
could not hold its own against local antag-
onism at the equator. When this antagonism
was settled by compromise and equipoise.
then this peripherial distinction ceased. and
the boundary line was fixed forever. $50 far
shalt thou go and.no further" In controver-
sion of his theory it can be proven beyond
donht tbot tho circumference of the equator
is less to-day than when his train of eternal
process was first put in motion. Now if his
theory be correct, and he will allow us to
reason analogically, as he first proposed to
do, all the globes of the universe would be
into grindstones, and the next
thing he would know Jim Blaine would be
bowling for protection and that would be
the end of Day and his eternal process NOV
