A Relic of the Campaign of 1928.


Correspondence of the Democratic Advocate.
NEWPORT, KY, June 18th, 1885.
MEssRs EDITORS In a black walnut
frame, by II inches, hanging over my desk
as | am writing, is a cut of General Andrew
jackson, from waist up, in full uniform, ex-
cept the head is uncovered. This was taken
from a campaign paper of 1928. Under the
picture, in capital letters, is the name Gener-
al jackson. Immediately under the name is
this sentence-"Honor and gratitude to the
man who has filled the measure of his coun-
try's lory."-Jefferson.
In the upper right hand corner, facing with
the picture, is the sentence from the address
of jackson to his soldiers at New Orleans. as
they were about to engage in that ever mem
orable battle-"Remember, our watchword
is Victory or Death"
In the upper left corner, from the same ad-
dress, are these words: sour country must
and shall be Defended; we will enjoy our
Liberty or perish in the last ditch"
This picture was framed by Christian Bar
Der, then citizen of Clarksburg, Montgom-
cry county, Maryland, who has long since
gone to sleep with his fathers. Some of his
descendants still live in Maryland and Others
of them in the West. He gave this picture
to me, then jackson boy, between six and
seven years of age, about fifteen months be-
fore my brother, DIR. ). Il. Waters, now o.
your county, was born.
While this relic of that period is of little
intrinsic value, yet it is one prize for its his
tory and associations. 1t used to hang or
the walls of my childhood home, and though
it is not embellished. with gold or adorned
with silver, nor is not a work of art, beyonC
the paper and ink of campaign sheet, nov
dimmned by time, yetitrepresents the man o
his party and period, who was the true expo
nent of constitutional liberty and the defende
of his country's rights and honor.
By your permission, in my next will refe
to some incidents in my recollections of thu
campaign of 1928, as continuation of thesi
thoughts. w. II. WATERS.

English Politics.

The Irish question is agitating the English
electors, and the candidates for Parliament
are issuing addresses and manifestos TO the
people.
To show how the opposing leaders view the
Home Rule question, we quote from the man
ifestos of Mr.. Gladstone and Mr.. Trevelyan.
Mr.. Gladstone says:
"Among the benefits, gentlemen, l antici-
pate from your acceptance of our policy are
these: The consolidation of the united en-
pire and great addition to its strength; the
stoppage of the heavy, constant and democrat
izing waste of the public treasure; the abate-
ment and gradual extinction OF lgnoble feuds
in Ireland, and that development of her re-
sources which experience shows to be
natural consequence of free and orderly gov
eminent: the redemption of the honor of
Great Britain from the stigma fastened upon
her almost from time immemorial, in respect
to Ireland, by the Judgment of the whole civ
ilized world; and lastly, the restoration OF
Parliament to its dignity and efficiency, and
the regular progress of the business OF the
country"
Mr.. Trevelyan, in his electoral manifesto,
says:
ssThe home-rule bill seeks to put the exc
cution of the law and the preservation of
order into hands in which they would be in
secure. Such surrender involves the adop-
ton of the land purchase measure, which
would place upon the British taxpayer an
enormous liability. Such measure would re-
suit in separation, which could be avoided If
simple local government was extended to Ire
land in accordance with the well.known lib
eral principles. Universal experience shows
that if we give Ireland separate Parliament
and an independent executive, at the same
time compelling her to pay into the British
treasury several millions of pounds yearly,
the certain result will be separation move
ment which it will be impossible to resist.
1t appears from the above extracts that
neither proposes to allow ireland to become
free and independent Mr. Gladstone pro-
poses certain concessions, in the way of home
rule. in order to make closer consolidation
and strengthen the empire; while Mr.. IRE
relyan opposes the Gladstone measures, be-
cause he believes separation would result
therefrom. So Ireland, that is striving for
separation and independence, can hope for
nothing from either party. Mr. Gladstone,
by his own confession, is not in favor of Irish
Independence. He merely desires to grant
concessions that will bind her more closely.
The conservatives believe such concessions
will result in a resistless movement for disso-
luton.

A Terrible Accident.

The Hanover, Pa. Citizen of Thursday
says:-Last Friday large number of persons
assembled on the premises of Geo. II. Unger,
in Union township, Adams county, to assist
in the raising of the frame work of new barn
Three sides of the frame had been success
fully placed into position, but as the fourth
was being raised, it fell in such manner as
to knock down the three sides already raised
portions of which struck some Of the men
with serious results. Andrew Sell, most
esteemed citizen of the neighborhood, was al
most instantly killed; Henry Harms, a Ger.
man, was so injured that he died on Saturday,
and John Lohr, young man of about 16
years, had one of his legs broken and severely
injured on the side. Others were more or
less injured in slighter degree.
The remains of Mr.. Sell were buried at
Christ church on Monday, ReY. Hilhish, Of
this place, preaching the funeral sermon.
He was 50 years, 5 months and 26 days old.
Mr.. Harms was young man and unmarried.
Our latest information is that young Lohr will
recover from his injuries.

Hannah More Academy.

! The commencement of Hannah More Acad
envy took place at Reisterstown on Wednes'
day last. Bishop Paret was among those pres.
ent, and made short address at the close OF
! the exercises, and distributed the prizes, as,
sisted by Rev. Dr. Rich. Rev. DR.. Leonard
who was to have made the address to the class
missed the cars and failed of being present
The musical and literary program was well
rendered. The testimonial of the institution
was awarded to the following graduates Miss
Josephine Keturah Cuttings, Washington
Miss Netty Wood Fletcher, of the Diocese Of
Easton; Miss Eliza Bond Gray, of Tarboro,
North Carolina, and Miss Honoria Elizabeth
Cooper, of Baltimore county, who have cred
itably completed the prescribed course oil
English studies; Miss Kate A. Willea, Miss
Anna Gilmore and Miss Bertha Gilmore, oil
Baltimore, Miss Made Thomas and Miss
Fannie Mel. Greene, ofthe Diocese of Easton,
Miss Laura Augusta Pearce, of Baltimore
county, and Miss Kate Linthicum Mitchell, of
Hagerstown, who have creditably completed
the course of academic studies; Miss Fanny
Miller Rich, of Baltimore county, who, in adj
dition to the academic course has taken full
collegiate course in German. And diplomas
to Miss Sue Randolph Cooke, daughter of j..
Esten Cooke, the well-known author) of Vir-
giuia, and to two of the post-graduates, Miss
Ance ID. IOlDuTu, Vi Guilty. anu
Miss Narcissa Owen Smith, of Baltimore, all
three of whom have completed with dist ne
ton full collegiate course in French and
German.
This is the first year diplomas have been
awarded at the school, but the tendency is a
gradual increase and advance in scholarship.
The first honors, gold crosses, for deport-
ment, were awarded to a number of pupils,
among whom was Miss Julia McKellip, of
Westminster, of the first preparatory class.
Silver medals for punctuality were awarded
also. In addition to the above honors, pre-
miums of diligence handsome books) were
awarded to fifty eight young ladies, fifty first
premiums for grade of % or over, and eight
second premiums for an average of 81 or over
Miss Julia McKellip was one of the fifty of the
% grade.
Thoroughness is a feature, and very COM
mendable one, of this institution, which we
regard as one of the finest schools for girls in
the State. The essays were above the
average, and reflected much credit upon the
graduates.

observation-disclosures.

President Cleveland is what he should be,
conscientious public servant. He is gov
erned in all things by strict regard of his
powers and duties, as prescribed by the con-
stitution and laws. In one instance, it is
probable, he has oyerdone the matter, in that
he refused to permit the Sultan of Turkey to
present wedding gift to his bride. 1t is bet
ter to err on the side of duty than to violate,
even indirectly, fundamental or statutory
law, but in this instance there does not seem
room for doubt.
The ruler of friendly power desired to
signify his friendly feeling by presenting to-
ken to the bride of the President, but the
President through Secretary Bayard, de-
clined the gift, feeling that its acceptance
would be violation of the spirit of the con-
stitution if not the letter thereof
The language of our charter, bearing on
this point, is-''No title of nobility shall be
granted by the United States and no person
holding any Office of profit or trust under
them shall, without the consent of the Con-
gress, accept any present, emolument, office,
or title of any kind, from any king, prince, or
foreign state.'
The gift was to be given to Mrs. Cleveland.
She does not hold ''any Office of profit or
trust" She may be mistress of the White
House, including the President, but that is
not an office created by the constitution. Be.
sides, the President could have no ownership
of the present, for what is his is hers, too;
and what is hers is her own. The President.
perhaps, thought that marriage made the two
one, and that he was the one. But that wont
hold in law. Although married they are two
individuals.
The time was, and only few years back,
that no present, even down to bull pup, was
ever refused at the White House. That was
violation of both the spirit and letter of the
constitution, plain and direct, but Mr.. Cleve-
landhas drawn the line too fine in his refusal OF
the compliment to Mrs. Cleveland. 1t would
have been all right for her to have accepted
the present. Besides, there are thousands OF
ladies just dying to know what the Sultan in
tended to send over. They know that it was
something lawfully grand and lovely" and
by an over scrupulous regard for the con-
stitution, and a misinterpretation of its Ian
guage, they are denied either seeing it, or
reading column description in the press.
What's the matter with the Baltimore Ne1cS
that it has not taken up the cudgel for Mrs.
Cleveland and the ladies, and lit into the
President ''like thousand of brick" We
have no doubt Mrs. Cleveland would like to
have received the Sultan's present. The Pres
ident never told his bride, very likely, of the
offer, or she would not have permitted him to
authorize the Secretary of State to decline it.
1t is too late to do any good now, in this case,
but something might be done to prevent SINH
lar disappointments hereafter.
