A Needed Reform,
[Baltimore Sun, Democrat.I


The subject of reform in the cerical
and administrative service of the Leg
isIature of Maryland impresses itself
upon the public mind every time the
General Assembly meets. The off,
GERS and attendants of the Legislature
have been quite numerous and costly
enough to the people of the State.
There is not session at which some
gross blunder does not occur, either
in making up the journal, as in the
entry in the Senate journal as to the
vote on the third reading of the Arm
strong marriage license bill, or in en-.
crossing the bills, as in the case of
the substitution of 1870 for 1876 in a
bill passed by the Legislature of 1874,
which blunder, whether willful or
accidental, came very near costing
the Drum Point Railroad Company
its character or in presenting bills
to the Governor for his signature, as
in the case of the bill before the Leg
islature of 1882 to strike out the word
"white" from the bastardy law,
which was never passed by the Leg
islature, but which was presented to
the Governor for his signature was
signed by him, and will be found
printed in the official volume Sf-the
acts of that year. Still more scandal
lous things are of biennial occurrence
at Annapolis. 1t is recOgnizedfact
that one of the methods of kilIng a
bill which has more opponentsh the
lobby than among the lnembes is to
steal it from the files, either auring
the time it is pending before one or
other of the two houses, or ) in the
case of the miners bill atthe last
session, after it has passed boh houses
and is awaiting the actin of the
Governor. There have ben charges

Cleveland and Blaine.

A reporter of the Evening Star
gives in that paper the result of in
terviews had with public men re-
Gently touching the outlook for 1888.
He finds them committed to man
to the idea that Mr.. Cleveland and
Mr.. Blaine will again oppose each
other. Mr.. Cleveland is esteemed a
stronger man to-day than ever be-
fore, and upon lines that promise him
a steady increase of influence and
popularity. The Endorsement of the
administration by the Democrats of
the different States is declared to be
enthusiastic and without equivoca-
ton. The case as to Mr.. Blaine is
stated as follows:
Mr.. BIaine's friends think his
chances for securing the Republican
nomination are greatly increased by
"his being out of politics." Just no "
they think the rivalry among other
candidates who have been brushing
against one another during the win
ter put them all out of the question.
Being out of the way, Blaine has not
irritated his rivals by protrusive ag-
itatiOn, and he has been left alone,
while Sherman, Logan, Edmunds
and the rest were cutting one anOth-
er's Threats. Meanwhile, Blaine's
friends have very adroitly shaped
things so as to make the campaign
issues those with which the Maine
man is most directly associated as
champion. The issues made in Nc
Pherson's campaign book are said to
represent Blaine throughout, and are
practically what he will make a point
on in Maine this fall. The campaign
this fall, ii is said. will follow a line
marked out by Mr.. Blaine. and will
bring to the front questions upon
which he is particularly strong. His
closest friends made no cOncealmenl
of the fact that they consider him the
most available candidate in the par
ty, and that they expect circumstan
ces to lead to his nomination. 1t is
predicted that his speeches in Maine
during the coming campaign will EN-
phasiZe this.

Mr.. McComas will be the Republi.

the strongest candidate they can NOM
mate. He is thoroughly acquainted
with the people of the districts ac-
tive and has made an able, attentive
and obliging representative. What
will give him strer 9Th with the peo-
pie will be the fact that he will he
running for the third term. The in
telligent people of Western Mary
land do not agree with the few, who
may want to succeed Mr.. McComas
In Congress, that man from Mary
land should not go to Congress the
third time, for experience shows that
his usefulness just begins after he is
there several terms. The men of
great influence in Congress are those
who have been there from ten TO
twenty years. If the Maryland stan
dard of Congressman is to be eleyat-
ed. she must send her representatives
there a number of years. We feel as
sured the people generally think SO.
and this will make Mr.. McComas
stronger than if he would be a new
candidate.
We object to Mr.. McComas because
he is a Republican; because he repre-
sents principles which we oppose.
He is in favor of that which we think
Is politically wrong. We want this
district represented by Democrat
one who will represent Democratic
principles.

Probation After Death.

NEW YORK Aug, 2S.-Just as soon
as the summer vacation is over the
leading clergy of the Congregational
Church will confer on the question
whether the unrepentent heather has
a spell of possible probation after
death. The difference of opinion in
the American Board of Foreign Mis-.
siOns has become heated contrOver.
sy. The trouble began when Secre-
tary Alden refused to appoint as mis-
siOnaries persons who believed that
there was any salvation for heather
who died unconyerted. He held that
the belief in a probationary period
beyond the grave was heterodox, and
therefore disqualifying in candi-
date for labor in foreign mission
field, Some of his fellow mem berS of
the board disagreed with him on that
doctrinal point, and the issue is now
so sharply defined that no further
progress in missionary work can be
made by the C0ngregationalists until
it is settled. The present idea is to
hold conference ola hundred repre-.
sentative Congregationalist divines
in this city in October. The question
at issue is considered by many SO Viz
tai and the belief of the church so di-
yergent that division of the mis-
sionary society. if not of the denomi-
nation itself, is imminent.

The commissioner of internal rev.
enue has issued regulations to collec-
tors concerning the oleomargarine
law. Revenue officers are relieved of
the necessity of proving the imitation
or resemblance to butter, except as to
the mixtures of tallow, beef fat, etc.,
and the commissioner says that es-
Establishments of the magnitude neces-
sary to successfully conduct the man
ufacture of oleomargarlne may be
easily discovered.and are likely to be
found adjoining slaughter-houses
Manufacturers are required to give
bond, not less than $4,000, and to
keep books showing the articles used
in making the oleomargarine, and to
make monthly returns of the same.
They must also display their full
names, business and number on the
factories. Explicit directions are
given for Stamping the oeomarga-
rine. Imported oleomargarine is not
compelled to have the internal reve-
nue. stamp attached until Withdrawn
from the custom house for sale. Pro-
vision is made for appeals in cases
where the nature of any substance
supposed to be deleteriOus to health
is concerned. On October |, when
the law goes into effect, all oIeomar.
garine in the hands of dealers must be
in wooden packages of not less than
ten pounds, and all not properly
marked is to be seized.

The Christian Aduocdte, the repre-
sentative of the Methodist church,
writing of the third party movement
in New York, says:
"There is no Christian or temper
ance man who will withhold his bal
lot or halt between two opinions
when he is convinced that the proper
time has come for action, and that
practical methods are being adyocat-
ed by honest men. Indeed, these three
essentials are necessary to the success
of any cause, and the Prohibitionists
have yet to convince the majority of
temperance men that all of these
essentials are embodied in their
movement.
The temperance men of both of the
great political parties reject the recent
movement, not from party prejudice,
but because they condemn the pres
ent methods as being impracticable.
and they remain in their respective
parties, not because they are slaves to
them but for the reason that they can
find nothing better than an organized
FORM"
The Advocate, in further comment.
ing on the evil results of the unwise
action of these political Prohibition
lists. gives the following practical il
luStration; In ten assembly districts
in New York where Prohibition can
didates were nominated. they received
a sufficient number of ballots to ac-
complish the defeat of ten known
temperance men who were candidates
of the other parties, and every one o.
the ten men elected from these dis
tricts voted against the bill to submit
the question of prohibition to a vote
of tine people, which was discussed by
that legislature and which was de
feated by a majority of two In thi;
case it will be seen. as in many 9th
ers, the Prohibitionists defeated
their own cause by their unwise
methods.

Between 9 and II o'clock Tuesday
night a succession of earthquake
shocks passed over the eastern sec.
ton of the North American cont.
nent. The western portion seems tC
have escaped entirely, as no shock
vas felt at Omaha, Ogden or San
Francisco. while it was very light al
Chicago. The severity of the distur.
bance varied in different localities
from slight quivering. noticeable
only in the top stories of the higher
buildings, to shocks which swayed
the buildings and caused chimneys

felt in Oakland about 10 o'clock, but
was so slight as to be barely notice

Mayor Hodges states that he refused
while in Bar Harbor. to be introduce
ed to Mr.. James Blaine. This re.
minds us of story of an ex.Confed-
crate general, now resident of
Baltimore. The story has been told
before, but seems peculiarly apt in
connection with the supreme disdain
with which Mayor Hodges treated
the Maine statesman. This Confed-
ate general had been captured by
Major General Hancock. Under guard
he was led up to Hancock's tent.
With the instincts of a true gentle
man, General Hancock stepped from
his tent and extended his right hand
to the Confederate prisoner. "No,
sir" said the Confederate, "under
these circumstances l decline to shake
hands with you" Hancock, who
lowered about three feet above his
prisoner, looked at him a moment,
then quietly said, "Under any other
circumstances l should not offer you
my hand" No doubt, if Mr.. Blaine
should eyer hear that he had been
treated with scorn By the Mayor of
Baltimore he would feel over it about
as Major General Hancock felt over
the refusal of his Confederate pris-
oner to shake hands with him.-BaL-

Enough of Free Trade.

LEWISTON. Me-, Aug. 29-Mr.
Blaine, in his campaign address here
yesterday, advocated the policy of
protection as against that of free
trade. Among other things, he said
that we only needed to protect those
products which were brought in COM
petition with those of other nations.
Numerous articles, like tea and cof-
fee, which we could not produce in
our climate were not taxed, and plac-
ed on the free list. This was absolute
free trade. and the United States has
il to degree never known in any
government since government was
known among men. England has no
free trade with her colonies. They
tax her products. England cannot
export an article to Canada without
its being taxed at the custom-house,
whereas all articles produced in any
part of the United States are sent to
every other part free of duty. There
was more free trade in this country
than could be found in the whole cou-
tinent of Europe. Therefore. we
combine the benefits of protection
from foreign competition with inter-
nal free trade. 1t would be absurd
to enlarge our free trade system SO as
to give foreigners access to it. One
of the sins of the Democratic party
consists in their willingness to expose
our Wrkingmen to the competition
of men who are not to day getting
one-half Of the wages of American
labor.

Francis Murphy, who has lust re-

Jones II consider it great COM

spectacle hearing from publicans and
sinners. am sorry that Jones should
think that have committed sin in
preaching the Gospel to the very
class of people to whom Christ him
self appealed. The Pharisees called
Christ the friend of pubicans and
sinners. But He did not come to call
the righteous but sinners to repent.
ance." After quoting a number of
Biblical texts in support of his work ,
Mr.. Murphy continued: IL am a
man of peace and think that to en-
force the laws against drunkenness
requires kindly and loving spirit.
If the law should be made yoke of
oppression, the people would rise up
against it. If Jones meant me when
he said ~ man with one arm around
a salOon-keeper and the other around
drunkard,' I am sorry for him. My
views on prohibition are to leave the
question entirely to the people to de-
eide on an bipartisan platform, as
has been done in Kansas, Maine and
Iowa.

Packing Butter for Winter.

In putting down butter for winter
use in a small way there is nothing
better than large Well-glaZed crooks.
with covers close fitting and glazed
Inside as well as outside. Glazing on
the inside of covers is often neglected
and when it is the porous earthen,
which is a powerful absorbent. soon
becomes loaded with foul matter that
gives off bad Odors and infests what
ever the crock may contain. The
packing should be solid and the but
ter reach to one inch of the top of the
crock and the butter covered with
bleached muslin free from any starch
or sizing. The jar should then be fill
ed with all the salt it will held and
snugly pressed down. Then tnrn on
little pure water-just enough to
rise to one one-half the depth of salt
and no higher. Brine on the butter
with dry salt on top makes better
protection Than all brine or all dry
salt. Then cover as closely as posi-
BILE and set in a cool dry cellar-not
on the ground and if the butter is
all right when it is packed it may
reasonably be expected to be sound
next winter. In a large way. 100
pound white oak firkins, after being
thoroughly clensed of sap and all Iia-
biIIty to imparting woody favor by
soaking in boiling not water, may be
usen in the same way as crooks.
