We are sorry TO see SO mncl

biilon movemeut. There probably

some one can say, and III most
cases truthfully, that man once did
me an injury, or played me II mean
trick. Such feelings n usually

is seldom that a. mar runs for Office
or Otherwise contests for public
patronage without finding oppOsi.
ton 1T a character unpleasant to "a
sensitive nature. His enemies, If
he has any, (and few there be who
have none) will always oppose him.
He can't expect, reasonably, any
thing else. But it seems that every
ember of malice aud i'll feeling is
being famed into "a blaze in our
little town. There appears to be a
disposition to foster, nouriSh and
finally settle, by general warfare,
every old feud capable Of being
aroused. We say to both sides
that is wrong and uDwise. 1t is
detrimental to the common veal, 1t
is an imposition upon society and
extremely unpleasant to all con-
cerned. The law authorizes II
given mode of procedure and on
fers certain rights. Under that
law there must be two sides, necPs.
sarily. Why can't the two sides
exercise their legal rights without
impugnIng motive, assailing char
acter or filling the very atmosphere
with v"ituperation and abuse. The
house that is diyided against itself
San hardly stand, and good citizens
should lie careful about stirring up
civil strife. Ii your troubles are

community rest.

THE PRESIDENTS rET0ES

President Cleveland. last week, re-
turned to Congress in one day fifteen
private pension bills that bad beea
passed BY boti Ilaus $. sending is Of
them to the Senate aud nine Of tbcn to
the House, where they respectively orig
mated, and giving the reasons Why be
could not sign them He reminds Con
gress that, during the present session
four hundred and ninety-three special
pension bills have already been sent TO
him for signature, and says that as he
advised, one hundred aud Gle zen similar
bills haze been passed by the two Houses,
and will IN due scasol reach him,
making over six hundred such bills all
This is nearly three times the number
passed at amy entire session Congress
since the year 1851 The special pen
sloa machine has been run by the pres
ent Congress at very extraordinary
rate, a. appears from the President
statement.
One Of the bills sent the President
granted a pension to a widow. whose
husband, as a member of the Navy. died
with a disease Of the heart ten years after
The close Of the War, with which disease
his service during the War had no con-
necilou whatever The Pension Bureau
ad very properly rejected the application
Tor this reason. Congress, however
to put this woman on the pen
sion list, and under the circumstances
might Just as well put all the widows in
the land on the same list. Another bill
granted pension TO a widow whose
being a soldier during ths-War
died from an inflammation Of the stom-
aeh ten year after the War, aud whose
application had also been rejected BY
the Pension Bureau, as not coming with
N the provisions Of the law in regard to
And still another bin granted
a special pension to woman whose

REPLBLU1N POLITICAL
OTEHENTS.


The Republicans in BaltimoremA he.
ginning 70 talk seriously 81 t1t' -
lar patty nominations for Congress this
year. There is something Of the look
of new departure about this, the iucli-
nation Of the leaders of that party hav-
ing been heretofore rather for mixed
than for a straight fight with the Demo
Gratis. The result Of this has been, as
the case is put by a promnen. one
among them, that while there are many
Republicans, there is no Republican
party worth speaking of in Baltimore
city The Republicans are confessedIy
looking forward to the presidential CON
test in 1883, and the hope is fondly
narturel among them that they will then
come back to power in the federal adj
ministration. For the time being the
old factional disputes over the federal
patronage are at rest, and the party
leaders are on the lookout for the Skin
mishes for position in their ranks that
will precede the marsbaihng of the
hosts for the presidential battle There
fore, unless all the signs fail there will
be a tendency on their part toward pro-
nouneed party action in the political
events Of the next couple Of years. Mr. |
Sebastian Brown, who was two yeafs
ago the Republican opponent of Mr.
Findlay in the West Baltimore district
is credited with a willingness to make
the canvass against the Democrats this
year. Gen. Adam L. King is also
strongly backed for the Republican nom
nation, and it would no, be a surprise
to find quite contest for this Republi
can congressional nomination. In the
East Baltimore congressional district the
Republicans are said to be looking for
labor man with Republican proclivities.
The Republicans in the counties are dis
eussing the probable strength Of con
gressional candidates in the several dis
Iaets, and the indications are that there
will be no dearth Of aspirants. No
natter what the outcome at the election,
lie Republican candidates who makes
he fight will claim party standing in the
political events that are to come here

oet county, chairman Of the Republican
