the riders attached by. the Democratic

bills show that the Democratic party is
still opposed to the protection of Ameri-

JOURNALISTIC.

The Independent, of Easton, (Md.,) has been
metamorphosed into the Democrat, and in its
issue of last week announces as its platform
"the cause of the people as against the power of
corporate wealth and monopoly, and to this
end shall support as we understand them, the
principles of the Democratic party in county,
State and National politics. \ We be-
lieve that the great hope and future of human
liberty in this country rest in the success of the
true principles of Democracy; that these prin-
ciples are the right of local self-government.
otherwise called States Rights, strict construc-
ton of the constitution, universal suffrage, and
the abolition of the present ubiquitous tariff,
and to this end we shall devote our best ener-
gies." This is good, sound platform and we
have no doubt our contemporary will fight man
fully under the banner of Democracy.
Our valued contemporary, The Old To,cn i'd
yocate, of Baltimore, appeared last week in an
entire new outfit of type and with new and
well-designed heading. We congratulate its
editor and publisher, Mr.. Benjamin Baker,
upon the Improvement in the appearance of the
Advocate, and upon the evidence of its con-
tinued success.
Mr.. A. Bechhofer and others have obtained q
controlling interest in the Baltimore Morning
Herald. Mr.. Bechhofer, for several years past,

management signaized the event by using a
double Sheet filled with advertisements, cur
rent news and interesting matter of other kinds.

In circular received by Col. John Carroll

order to enforce upon the attention of both
Houses of Congress measures deemed by
you and by all agriculturists indispensably
necessary for the relief of our business from
the ruinous exactions of arrogant and ire
sponsible and defiant corporate power; for
the suppression o. perils in the face of which
we are helpless without the effective aid of
our Government, and for the rightful recog-
milton of the importance of our calling and
the exercise Of its proper influence in the
great councils of the Nation. In the present
industrial and political crisis the voice of
Agriculture, the great conservative reserve
power of the Nation, should not be silent,
her influence unfelt, her power unexpected,
her rights disregarded, her necessities unre-
lieved,"

Blaine and Edmunds.

Blaine made IN irreconcileable enemy when
be refused Edmunds' outstretched hand, at
Mr. Arthur's funeral. He was right in doing
SO. Edmunds in letter published short
time before had declared that Blaine was dis
honest. If Edmunds believed what he wrote
he was insncere in profferng his hand to a
dishonest man. If he did not believe it, he
was guilty of an act of gross assurance in
offering pretended courtesy to man he had
wronged. At any rate, from this time forth
Blaine may set down Edmunds and his fol-
lowers as opposed to his nomination. Mr..
Edmunds has shown, too, that he can carry
his opposition to the polls; for in Blaine's
last campaign few speeches from him might
have changed the result, but he would not
utter word. Blaine seems to be peculiarly
unfortunate. In 1884 Burchard's Rum, Ro-
manism and Rebellion speech cost him his
election, and his quarrel with Edmunds will
contribute to the same result in 1888.
