Liberty Street Ahead.

The residents of Liberty street, Westmin-
ster, have numbered all the houses on that
street. The numbers cost 10 cents apiece,
and were procured in Baltimore by Mayor
Schaeffer. The.numbers are raised, by being
stamped on tin plate, and nickle plated.
They are the rejected numbers made for
numbering the houses in Baltimore. The
ordinance required them to be solid, hence
their rejection. tits now proposed to number
all the houses along Main street, if not in all
the streets in the city.
Chase street has been opened from Liberty
to Bond, and partially graded. Liberty street
has been filled up and raised in the middle,
SO as to shed the water to the cutters. 1t is
now the handsomest street in the city, and
contains many beautiful residences. 1t is
high time that something were done for Main
street.

Canada and HOpkins.

Sailing township Is noted for its
pure and true hearted Democrats
There Is never any strife or turmoil
in that part of the county. The
ticket gets clean cut support there.
For the past few weeks J. II. Canada
and r. z. Hopkins, both of that
township, have been canvassing at
home and abroad for the office of col
lector. Each had host of warm
friends. 1t was suicidal for both to
run. 1t was hard to settle which
one should have the track. Both
are clever gentlemen and wanted to
do the fair thing. They canvassed
with each other and with friends and
the result is that J. II. Canada has
withdrawn from the race, which leaves
R. P. Hopkins the undivided support
of his township. The result was ar
rived at without any i'll feeling between
the parties or between Democrats in
the township, which is saying great
deal for all concerned. Mr.. Canada
has warm friends in Audrain county
who, if the opportunity ever Offers
will show their appreciation.

lit. We don't see that the bill would
Result in any particular harm except
it will place Cleveland in u very bad
position. Republicans in the House
voted for it. A Republican Senate
will pass it. Why Because they
know Cleveland will veto it as "hag

will lose thousands of labor votes.
