The Maryland Temperance Alliance.

The Maryland Temperance Alliance.
The annual meeting of the Maryland State
Temperance Alliance began in Baltimore
Tuesday, Mr.. Edwin Higgins presiding
The address of welcome to the delegates and
others was made by Rev. VIM. J. Young, of
Baltimore, and responded to by Rev. E. D.
Finney, of Bel Air.
A stormy scene occurred when Mr.. Mock,
President of the Hartford County Alliance,
presented the resolutions adopted by that
Alliance, declaring that the use of the ma
chinery of the State Alliance to further the
interests of any political party whatever, is
violation of its declaration of non-partisan-
ship, and meets with the decided disapproval
of the Hartford Alliance.
Mr. Mock said that Secretary Mosher had
written to Hartford county man, on the off,
cial paper of the Alliance, strongly eulogiz.
ing the prohibition party leaders, and urging
the recipient of the letter to form q club to
help the party, SO that there might be pro.
hbition President in the White House, and
that the 100000 fat offices would be filled
with prohibition party men, and he hoped it
would be in 1888 or 1892. 1t urges them to
circulate two of the organs of the third par
ty. Mr.. Mock characterized this as unfair
and false to the pledge of non, partisanship
which the Alliance gave last year.
Mr.. Mosher said the letter of the Hartford
county man was not addressed to him as
Secretary and lie did not send the circulars
in that capacity. He also said that if the
man had wanted more prohibition documents
he would have sent them
The Hartford resolutions went to the COM
mittee on resolutions. Mr.. A. ]. Gill moved
that the rules be suspended and the resolu-
tons be taken back from the committee
Considerable confusion thereupon ensued
and Mr.. ellis resolution was laid on the
table
Reports from various counties where local
option prevails were heard, from all of which
favorable accounts of the operation OF the law
were made.
Resolutions were adopted congratuating
the friends of prohibition on the advances
made and declaring that the State Alliance
is and must continue to be non-sectarian and
non-partisan in its character and Methods
Another resolution declares that all the ma
chinery Of the Alliance should be directed to
procure the incorporation of prohibitory
clause in the new constitution when sub
mitted to the people, At night addresses
were made by Senator Colquitt, of Georgia,
and Mrs. Mary D. Lathrap

The Labor Troubles.

The strike in the southwest continues
Grand Master Workman Powderly, of the
Knights of Labor, issued circular last week,
in which he declares war on Jay Gould. He
urges the order all over the country to take
up the fight and send contributions to their
brethren in the southwest. In the meantime
Martin Irons and other Knights of Labor
have been arrested for destroying the prop.
erty of the railroad companies and interior.
ing with their business.
Mr.. Powderly on Tuesday testified before
the Congressional investigating committee,
in Washington, giving his view of the causes
that led to the great strike in the southwest.
He charged that the Missouri Pacific COM
pany had violated an agreement with its en-
ployes. The Knights of Labor, he said, aim
ed to adjust all differences between employers
and employees by Cancellation and arbitration.
1t opposed boycotting and the matter of Or
dering strikes was left to local assemblies of
the order.
There has also been great street-car strike,
in New York, on the Third avenue road, caus.
ed by the refusal OF the company to discharge
eight men who were obnoxious to the strik-
ers.
Much inconvenience has been caused in
Baltimore by the strike of the car drivers,
which extended to all of the bob-tail cars, as
they are cailed--those on which no conduct
ors are employed. Travel was practically
suspended for few days, but others are TAX
ing the places of the strikers. The men de-
mand 81 day for twelve hours work, but
the car companies declare they can not pay
that amount except at II loss. The strikers
at first manifested no desire to riot, but on
Monday crowd of them roughly handled
the driver of a Linden avenue car, ejecting
him from his place. A car at the corner Of
Charles and German streets was nearly
thrown from the track, Monday afternoon,
by large torpedo, which had been placed on
the rail. The Citizens Line avoided strike
by paying 50 day.

The African Gnsabinnca.

Boston Traveller
The Niger stood in the cotton patch.
Whence all but him had fled:
The whitfle-tree and traces few
In circles round his head,
Yet greasy, slick and black he stood
AS born to rule the storm.
A negro of the blacklist blood
A rough ungainIy form.
The mule kicked on-he would not 60
without his masters word:
The master in the grass lay low,
His voice no longer heard,
He called aloud: Say, master, say,
Mus | let dis mule gO!'
And the master trembled as he lay.
And the Niger hollered, "Whoa!'
"Speak, Nasal" once again he cried:
"If may yet be gomez
Naught but the whisting hOofs replied.
AS fast the mule kicked on.
Upon his brow he felt their breath.
And in his kinky hair
He looked from that lone post of death
In still, yet brave despair.
He shouted but once more aloud,
My gOlly. mus I stay!'
While DER him fast Il dusty cloud
IN pillows made its way.
1t hid the nlGger from Olr view
And filled his shiny eye.
And rose above the cotton too.
Like clouds across the sky.
There came at last one monstrous kick.
The nigger, oh! where was he
Ask of those heels that flew so thick.
Alas could not see.
The work-hands all returned at last;
The mule could not he found:
Death held that Niger i'll his grip,
Half buried in the ground.

Washington Post.
Speaker Carlisle has just given us
another OF those pithy reviews of the
relation of parties, which are both edi-
flying and convincing, especially con-
corning the first pear OF Democratic
economy. 1t is Il remarkable showing
of what has been done. Let us give a
synopsis of it:
1. During the fiscal year ending
June 80, 1886, the total expenditures of
the government were S17,143, 100 less
than those OF the previous Year under
RepubIicanism.
2. Yet there were paid out for pen
sions S7,302, 500 more than during the
previous year; and the larger number
of claims were adjusted by $50 less
clerks.
3. The appropriations for the sup
port of the government for the current
year are even smaller than those for
last year by S6,4S6, 1876.
4. The increase in the expenditures
on account of the postal service from
the year 1884 to the year 1885 was
S4,54O,SS0, ard from 1885 to 1886,
"a $50, 500, while from 1886 to 1887,
which is the current fiscal year, the
increase is only S664,S The differ
ence is 100000 less than the increase
before under Republican administra-
ton.
5. The Republican Senate added
S10,000,000 to the appropriation bills
this year, and the Democratic House
combatted this extravaganza and de-
feated it.
6. The Democratic Congress has for
feited and restored to the public do
main sc, 4S2 ,240 acres of land previous
ly granted to railroad companies under
conditions which have not been com
piled with. The territory thus returned
to actual settlers is more than twice as
large as the State Of Kentucky The
Democratic House at the last session
passed other bills FORGETTING and re-
claiming 3,S43,094 acres more, but the
Senate did not concur. The House has
favorably reported bills FORGETTING
13,067,2 14 acres MORGAN area twice as
large us the State of Massachusetts,
and will pass them at the next session.
T. Our national expenses continue to
diminish and our receipts to increase.
There is now only S140,000,000 Of the
public debt which we have right to
pay, and this will be paid within two
years. No more bonds will be payable
till 1891. During the interval an enor-
nous surplus will accumulate in the
Treasury to the great detriment of
business-a thousand million dollars or
more. So the taxes will have to be re-
duced and the reduction will inevitably
fall upon the tariff.

"The women appear to do all the
work." writes Colonel Watterson of
the Swiss. 1t is not uncommon to see
a girl and dog hitched to cart and
trotting along together like pair of
ponies: The men, great strapping fell
lows, idle and lazy, loaf about the
basserles:, Their wives, daughters and
sisters till the fields and supply the
markets.-Exchange.

migrate to; and this is great country
for such women to come to-that is, it
would be a good thing for the men.

We publish communication to the
States, signed Democrat" which con-
tains more solid thought than is gener-
ally found in columns of resolutions
passed by political conventions on the
same subject. In most countries OF the
Old World, the government may be
defined to be a Lord, or combination of
Lords, to whom the people belong; and
the government is hard, or easy, on
the people, just as it pleases the humor
of the Lord. In this country the Meoyy
is, that the government is the servant
OF the people; unfortunately for the
people, the practice is too much lust
the reverse. 1t all people were good,
and practiced the golden rule of doing
to others as others should do to them.
there would be no need of government.
Calling courthouses temples of jrstice.
is a misnomer they are temples of in
justice. Jails and penitentialies are
the temples Of justice. 1t no crimes
were committed, no courthouses would
be necessary. Government represents
police force, which the law-a abiding,
ta2paylng citizens employ to protect
themselves against those who trespass
ON their rights, and for which thew
have to pay. TIE government too Of
ten takes pay from both sides, and
combines with the trespassers to rob
the law-abiding taxpayers under the
forms Of law. When a congressman
who is paid by the people some six
thousand dollars a year to represent
them who honored him with AN cleo
ton, and .Athen serves railroads and
other corporations for bribing salary,
there is an example of this. The use
OF Lottery money in the Legislature
and IN elections, is another example.
They are aggravated cases. Taxing
the people for the benefit of capitalists
and monopolists, by means of il high
protective tariff, is another example
and while the others are done sneak
lngly, this is done openly, with the
assertion that it is done for the bene-
tit OF the people. The high protective
tariff is cunning1y devised trick, to
make the rich richer and the poor
poorer; and the latter are often made
to believe that it is for their benefit.
The government should not take, and
it should not be allowed to take from
the people, any more than is necessary
for it to be economically administered
any more is robbery.

Ring Rule.
TerrebOnnc Times.

Political performances of a question
able character are being elevated into
precedents in this, the Third Congress
ional District, and will hereafter be
productive Of considerable disputation
and pickering, if no one is found with
patriotism enough to protest against
such modes of procedure. A practice
has grown up in this, and is now ex-
tending to several of our neighboring
parishes, for executive Committees to
usurp the prerogative of the people, by
the selection OF delegates to represent
the people in Conventions, where the
done, and these Committees claim this
right so to do, without question and
without the consent of the people first
obtained. The fundamental principle
in all free Republican or Democratic
governments recognizes the sovereignty
of the people IN all matters of civil or
political nature, and it is universally
admitted that the full exercise of this
power OF prerogatlve can only be prac-
ticed through the forms prescribed by
the people IN convention assembled.
This doctrine is epitomizd by Thomas
Jefferson, the great Democratic leader,
as all uuaIienable right of all free peo-
pie, and therefore, Democratic, this be-
ing admitted. Then the question arises
by what authority do executive COM
mittees arrogate to themselves the priv
ilege to usurp IL prerogative that resides
solely in the masses, and has never been
conferred upon them. Nor can the peo-
pie be Invested of this inalienable right
of self government by any other power
known, except revolution and despOt-
ism, because it carries with it the privi-
lege OF choosing their own rulers.
Another fact pertinent to al easy I'M
Outstanding OF the merits of such case,
and it is this, that an executive commit
tee being the creature Off representa-
tive body of the people, has only such
powers as have been actually conferred
UPON III NY TIC COuNCullOD, It's creator,
and it is moreover doubtful if conyen-
tion can delegate any power other than
mere ministerial supervision of mat
tiers statu quo at the time of appoint
ment and no other. 1t is we'll known
fact that, when a Convent ton adjourns
it becomes t,tnctus oticiO and leaves be-
hind a creature of its own creation with
such powers only as are necessary to
carry out and supervise such political
matters as have been thoroughly dis
cussed and digested by the convention.
And when any new subject political,
arises, it has always been the custom of
all political parties to call together the
representative men of the people to dis
cuss and decide these questions in con-
ventions, and it is nowhere committed
to the discretion of executive commit
tees to judge and decide such matters.
