THOSE EAGLES.

Mr.. Gibson, the "swell' Congressman
from the Eastern Shore, in his TRADE
against Civil Service Reform last week,
pictured Mr.. Eugene Higgins as an
"eagle" compared to Mr.. Gallinger, of
New Hamp1hire, friend of reform,
whom he likened unto "mousing owl. "
In noticing this comparison, the Balti-
more -1mc11caN suggests Eagles" as
an excellent name for Democratic poll
teal workers, as the spoils seems to go
to them only; and adds that what is
called running the Democratic party
now" is nothing more than feeding the
eagles-the tame eagles of the coop
owned by Senator German.
The american must have been look
ing up Webster's definition Of that bird,
which the great lexicographer defines
to be "'aba1onS bird of the genus
"Falco, one of the largest species of
"birds of prey has very keen sight,
"and preys on small animals, etc.
Certainly Mr.. Gorman's aviary OF
rapacious hlgh-soaring and spoils seek
ing birds doesn't contain finer speci-
men than the notorious Gene. The
name was aptly applied to him. Nor
ris Thomas may take longer flights
(among the Indians), but in keen eye
sight for spoils he is not Genes supe-
rior, and on general principles is no
better an "Eagle.'

Mr.. "Barney"-not Blarney-Comp
ton will find in the end that he has
made a serious mistake when he de-
nounced the old Union soldiers, who
were discharged from the Baltimore
postoffice to make room for Democratic
spoiIsmen, as "scoundrels" and "scala-
wags.' Evidently when Barney
opened his mouth he put his foot in it.
The ex, postoffice clerks met last week
and prepared the following letter,whlch
was forwarded to Mr.. Compton
Barnes Compton, Esq, House Of Repre-
sentatires-Sir The Postal Association
of 'S6, composed of monuments of civil
service reform as interpreted by Ex-Post-
master Veazey, desire to say that the uu-
solicited testimonials furnished by the
citizens of Baltimore refute the slander
uttered by you on tue 1Ith inst. in regard
to the indefaite number of "scoundrels
and scalawags" removed.
We assert that our regulations for in
telligsnce, official courtesy and faithful
performance of duty, placed in the scale
of public opinion against that of our sue
cessors, the balance will be found largely
in our favor, even if we throw in Mr..
Veazey as legal luminary.
In conclusion we can only say that it
ill-becomes one who owes every political
advancement to the roundsr, political
thug, ballot box stuffer, and subserviency
to bossism, to assail the character of
those who, duriug the past 16 years,
though brought into the most intimate
relations to the business and social COM
munity OF Baltimore, have never found
one so lost to every attribute of manhood
to make charge SO unjust and unfoun
ded. By order of the association.
J. JOHNSTON, JR., Secretary.

checked shirt, with the collar unbuttoned.
Now its all very well for enviouS Re
publican editors, who are boiling over
with jealousy of Mr.. Gibson'S masniti-
cent 'hgger,' to attempt to bellttle this
maiden effort by drawing public atten-
ton to Mr.. Gibson's linen.
This action of the NydH is an
unwarrantable proceeding IN rem, in
stead of IN beyS0Ham.
1t is making the insignificant thing
more important than the significant
individual.
Mr.. Gibson is no inconspicuOus light
of the Talbot Democracy.
He is the admired of the fair sex.
He is the envied of his own sex. He
is scholar, a gentleman, and an excel
lent judge of whiskey.
With these essential qualifications Of
a successful Democratic politician, and
with no mean legal requirements, with
his reputation established on the Eas-
tern Shore as a man of fashion and gal
lantry, hadn't he right to make his
maiden speech in new shirt If he
wanted to?
Doesn't our contemporary violate
every canon of good taste by attempt
ing to ridicule Mr.. Gibson because he
had respect enough for his constituency
to represent them on this trying occa-
sion in that glossy badge Of Eastern
Shore Civilization-a new shirt-since
it is generally understood in this sec
ton of Maryland that new shirt means
a clean shirt?
"ON Friday he b0ueMu Nc5r Shirt"
says this modern Samuel Pepys.
Does this impertinent chronicler of
trifles ight as air seek to convey the
impression that this circumstance is an
unusual one with Mr.. Gibson?
Does he mean to imply that MIR.
Gibson isn't used to new shirtso
What are we to infer?
That Mr. Gibson having nothing but
old shirts, and knowing that the public
exposure he was about to make of his
own, as we'll as the inconsistencies OF
Civil Service would strain his linen, ne
very prudently and like the well bred
gentleman that he is, took every pre-
caution not to tear his shirt, and put
on a good, new and strong one.
Is he to be blamed for this?
And besides there is base insnua-
ton hidden under that indefinite arti-
Gle "a"
Does Mr.. Hooper intend to insinuate
that gentleman OF Mr.. Gibson S social
cloth buys only one shirt at a tlme2
But just as if the climax of offensive
impertinence were not already reached
he goes on to specify with painful mi
nuteness the actual time at which Mr..
Gibson donned this, as it proved to
him, unlucky shirt of Nessus.
yesterday he put it on''-this new
shirt-this clean shirt-just as if we arc
to believe that this frequent and essen
tal change in a gentleman's toilet were
an lnfrequent occurrence with Mr..
Gibson.
To the feelings of gentleman as
pains taking about his daily toilet and
personal appearance as Mr.. Gibson
this unjust reflection must be unusually
narrowing.
The Herald out of due regard for
the sensibilities of this gentleman who
has sacrificed SO much to attain the
reputation of "swell," should at once
retract its thoughtless if not libelous
utterances concerning him.

THE safe thing for Congress to do at
this session is to leave the revenues
alone, with some needed simplification
in the mode of collecting them, and
then to revise the appropriation bills
with an eye on the big items that are
not needed. 1t is too late for political
capital to be made by petty tinkering,
either at revenues or appropriations.
Cheese pairing can never be imposed
on this country as a substitute for
craftsmanship.

Mr.. GEORGE w. CHILDs, of Philadel-
phia, declines to have his name used as
a possible Presidential candidate. He
says: eff his very partial friends in the
newspaper press and other vocations
who have taken favorable notice of the
proposal were actually invested with
full convention powers, or could lnflu-
ence and control sufficient number of
the voters of the United States to make
his election absolutely certain-and

Hence the flat has gone ont that Mr..

peared to be a greater eagerneSs to Sc

upheaval in the politics OF the state
which is now forcshadowed, the Rcpub-
licans can act an influential part if they
have the sagacity to place themselves i'll

of this, apparently, than by supporting
Mr.. Findlay earnestly and unitedly as
the opponent of corruption in politics

HOWEVER much we may dissent from

HOWEVER much we may dissent from
the "third party" ideas held BY that in
dependent Pennsylvania Republican,
Mr.. Charles S. Wolfe-yet, the sound
ness of his views upon the question of
prohibition and license cannot be sue
cessfully controverted. In a speech
delivered on Tuesday, among other
good things, he said:
That any use Of intoxicants as bev
erage is apt to lead to the Incorporate
use of them all experience teaches. That
the Incorporate use of strong drink is
detriment to the individual, to the home,
to society, to civil government cannot be
questioned. Legal supervision of some
sort over the manufacture, importation
and sale of Intoxicating drinks is neces-
sary to the we'll being of civil govern
ment. Traffic in Intoxicating drinks Is
an evil affecting the body polite. 1t is,
therefore, proper subject of civil legis-
lation. The necessity for legal control
over the traffic and the unlimited nature
of such control may be regarded as clear
ly settled.
LICENSEA A FAILURE.
The inquiry that natural suggests it
self is, How shall this control be exer
csed? The license system has been tried,
but fails to meet the evil. 1t treats the
traffic as one that can not be suppressed
The most it proposes to do is to mitigate
the evil. Instead of graphing with the
outlaw it makes terms with him. Instead
of Furnishing his wronsf ful acts it legal
ICES them. Instead of prohibiting the
traffic it grants a monopoly of it. Pro
hibitionists can never consent to license
high or low. They can not delude them
selves with the notion that license high
or low is the gateway to Prohibition.
especially address myself to those who
believe in common with myself that le-
gal prohibition of the liquor traffic is one
of the highest duties of civil government.
To secure prohibition we must elect
legislators who favor prohibition. We
must have able, pure and fearless Judges
to enforce prohibitory laws when enacted.
We must have faithful officers to ferret
out and bring to trial all violatOrs of the
law. This necessarily brings the subject
into politics. The saloon is and always
has been in politics as very ugly and
very potent factor. Prohibition must
be there also. as an equal powerful if not
a more potent factor.
