A subject much commented on by
all classes is the silence editorially that
the Homecoming Recie,o has maintained
to within ten days of the primaries on
the political situation. We admit it
is not political paper, but it does
claim to be the workingmen's compass
to guide and direct them in elevating
and bettering their condition, and to
judge from perusal of the labor
press generally of the country, the
burdens the people are now laboring
under must be removed by legislation.
Then, as one of that class OF papers,
we would suppose the Reeie'c ere this
would be pointing out to the voters of
tho sixth congressional district the
faults or virtues Of those whose names
have been so prominently before our
people the last two months. The
MeComas advocates claim that his
record in Congress is unimpeachable,
and especially that his efforts have
been most earnest when the working
peoples interests have been in jeopar-
dy, and that he should, to continue his
good work, be sent back. But this
must be political buncombe-untrue
in all particulars, or the ReriesO, that SO

A most amusing if not ridiculous
affair occurred at Eckhart last Sun
day at o'clock p. m. A large crowd
assembled at the waters edge to wit
ness, as they supposed, the administra-
ton Of the ordinance of Christian bap-
tism, and at the appointed time the
officiating minister appeared on the
ground. After short service he en-
tered the water, taking the candidate
by the hand and leading her down
"into the ,oater." Then raising water in
his hand and placing both of his hands
on the candidates head, he pronounced
the names of the Trinity. Gathering
the subject in his arms he then raised
her from her feet planting her head
and part of her body under the water,
speaking not cord. The multitude
went away (many Of them disgusted)
wondering which act, if either, the
reverend gentleman and those to whom
he officiates would call baptism, Y,

LOCAL AFFAIRS.

Picnic.-The reunion and picnic of
the amalgamated band association
held here last Saturday was a pro-
nounced success.
Our streets were thronged with
people from all sections of the SUR
rounding country, and the air was
filed brimful of melody. Five bands,
all discoursing most elegant music,
paraded our streets, and with their
soul-stirring strains walked the echoes
in our groves. A sixth, the Marine
band, was gotten up to appeal to the
eye no less than to the ear. This was
Il poem in fantastic calico and war
paint and as all the instruments used
were in perfect keeping with the
unique costumes of the performers,
their music, once heard, will not easily
be forgotten.
On the arrival of the trains the line
of march was formed in the following
order;
Color Bearer.
Cumberland City Band, of Cumberland.
Barouche containing Hon. L. E. McComas
Frostburg Fire Department,
Potomac Cornet Band, of Barton.
Jackson Cornet Band, of Homecoming.
German Arion Band, of Frostburg
Independent Cornet Band of Eckhart.
Marine Band.
The procession moved directly from
the depot to the Centennial picnic
grounds, where the address of well
come was delivered by Hon. Louis E.
McComas, member of Congress from
this district. He was introduced by
Daniel Scalley, of the committee of
arrangements, and during his address,
which was short, was attentively listen
ed to and frequently applauded. His
theme was music, and in a pleasing,
off,hand manner he recited many in
stances showing the power and in
fuence of music, and wound up by
complimenting the bands upon the
success of their reunion.
Another feature of the day was the
game of baseball between the Cum
berland and Frostburg clubs at as
sociation park. The game was an
interesting one and lasted two hours
and twenty minutes, finally resulting
in a victory for our home team by a
score Of II to 8. The following is the
score by innings:

The Homecoming ReVie70 Is not for
tunate in criticism. Speaking of the
JOURNALS reference last week to the
private transaction of public business
by the Federation of Labor it says:
They have the same right to transact
their business with closed doors that Is
accorded other associations, particular
ly of employees.
If the ReuieW will look at the
JOURNALS remarks carefully it will
see that no matter of right was DIS
cussed.
The RerieaO is equally unfortunate
in the following:
When the business men, manufactu-
rers and capitalists Of all kinds throw
open their business to the puplic for
inspection, then it is time for the Fed
Grafton to do likewise.
The JOURNAL maintained differ
ence as wide between business for
prirafe purposes and business for
public purposes as it did between
"right' and policy.
The Recieac is yet more unlucky
in selecting question:
The Federation has published its
proceedings, and what more would the
public know?
We have the Reviev's word for that.
But why transact privately bust
ness subsequently to be made public? ?
Or why publish secrets9
Moreover, since the matter of right
has been lugged in, what right had
the public to know that q secret con-
vention had been held at all |?
The New York Tribune, a pro-
found monometalist organ, has ad-
mitted that
Contrary to reasonable anticipa-
tions. q movement of gold from
Europe to this country has been start
ed by a revival of pprcha ases of Ameri-
can securities on foreign account.
Why such a movement of gold
should be so regarded is not made
clear by the able Tribune. Whether it
be securities, or wheat, so long as we
export more than we import, Europe
must move the gold over to square
accounts. And, singular as it may
appear, the old country has no other
money she can spare so we'll as gold.
Hence we are even exporting silver
and getting gold, in other words,
selling silver and taking gold in
payment.
At the same time, more astonish-
ing than all, we are engaged IN a
solemn effort to cheaper by legisla-
tion precious metal, of which our
country produces a surplus, and en-
hance the value of gold, of which
Europe only owns a surplus.
If that policy is anything 1t IS
two ply reputation.

Ladies Occupations.

The opportunities for ladies to find
employment that is both suitable and
remunerative are limited; their pay is
usually poor as compared with the
salaries paid to men in the same lines
of occupation. But there are some
very noted exceptions: journalism,
the drama, music and the platforms
offer equal advantages to men and
women; and there is one occupation
in which women are generally more
successful than men, and that is In
the management of special agencies.
By special agencies we mean, they
are given the exclusive control of the
sale of special articles that can not
bought at the stores, and, If the ar
ticles have merit, and are in demand,
they are sure source of profit to the
special agent If properly handled.
In this line the Cincinnati Suspen-
der Company are offering induce
ments to ladies that we think ought
to attract attention. They are man
ufacturing the now celebrated Queen
City Skirt Suspenders for dies and
misses and their unequaled Stocking
Supporters for ladies and children.
Oscar Wilde. in his "Philt sephy of
Dress" says. 1.-The first and last rule
is this, that each separate article of
apparel IS to be suspended from the
shoulders always, and never from the
waist. Nature gives one no oppRr
tunity at all of suspending anything
from the waists delicate curve.
Consequently, by means of q tight
corset, a regular artificial ledge had
to be produced. from which tho lower
garments are hung. Where there
are no suspenders there must be cor
sets; adopt the former aud the latter
disappear. Catherine de MediciS,
High Priestess of poison and petit
coats, invented the corset. Now COR
sets are wholly bad Petticoats
should be suspended from the shoul
ders.' No lady or miss should be
without suspenders. Oar leading
physicians recommend them and are
loud in their praise of the Queen
City Suspenders. These goods are
manufactured by women, who have
made the wants of ladies and chill
dren study. and they ask MS 10 refer
them to some reliable and energetic
lady TO taxa the exclusive sale OF them,
and We certainly think that an ear
nest solicitation in every household
would meet with ready response,
and that = IL fermiGcd womaH could

exclusive agency that would I'e very

ANALYSIS of the Vote.

Taking the vote throughout the
territory. under local option law. SO
far as the figures are at hand, they
show the total majorities for prohibi-
ton were about as l to compared
with the majorities against it. The
total vote for prohibition as COM
pared with that against it was as 81
to 5. These figures will, perhaps,
give an approximate idea of the SEN
timent of the people of the territory as
whole upon the question of gen
eral prohibitory law. While there
are some who would vote for pro
hibitory law which would operate
throughout the territory, but who did
not favor the measure in its present
form. this number would probably be
offset by those who entertain exactly
the reverse opinion.
Granting that outlying precincts
which have not been heard from or
where no election was held would
increase the proportion of the prohi
bition vote to some extent, still il
does not alter the fact that there is
an overwhelming majority III the ter
ritory opposed to prohibitory meas
ures, and that woman suffrage, so far
as it was expected to operate III favor
of prohibition, has thus far been a
failure.
