w-We have been looking in vain for some
other judge to turn up who shall follow the rule
laid down by Judge 0'Gorman, of New York, who
turned his back unceremoniously upon candi-
date for American citizenship who told him he
knew nothing about the laws or the Constitution
has been criticised but the critics are chiefly poll
ticians. The man who swears to maintain the
fundamental law of the land ought certainly to
have some knowledge of the document to which he
promises obedience and swears fidelity. We have
been making citizens out of a very bad class of
raw material in recent years, and the effects are
felt in every fbre of the body polite. The time
has arrived when we may very properly call
halt, and Judge O'Gorman has pointed out the way.

@~A righteous judge (says the American,) has
made his appearance in one of the peninsular
papers. He inveighs against the habit of some
country merchants who invariably take the half
cent in their dealings. For instance, if the bill
amounts to thirty seven and a-half cents, they
charge thirty eight. This righteous judge says
that one MARYLAND merchant makes over twenty
dollars year by this sharp practice, and he cites
the case of another merchant who employs the
rainy days when there is no business going on in
stretching his wooden goods, SO as to make them
pan out more money. The deduction that this
righteous Judge draws is that dishonesty is ram
pant and that everybody is full of selfshness.-
If such things are permitted, to what will we
come 1t is, indeed, bad, bad world.

mS-Another failure in Baltimore on Monday
created great deal of surprise. 1t was that of
Gaddess Brothers, marble workers, who filed a
deed of trust for the benefit of their creditors with
Samuel Snowden, Esq, as trustee. The immedi-
ate cause of the failure was the Indebtedness of
Mr.. I. Parker Veazey to the firm, the amount be-
ing placed at 100000, more than two-thirds of
which was in paper and notes of the firm used by
Mr.. Veazey. There are three brothers in the firm
of Gaddess Brothers, and Mr.. Veazey, who only
short time ago resigned the postmastershp of Bal
timore, married daughter of one of them-Mr.
Thomas S. Gaddess. 1t is stated that Mr.. Veazey
sunk the most of this money in speculations in
property, or rather through losses incurred in
building houses in the city and county.

Ga3- Mr.. Andrew E. Warner, the well-known
jeweler and silverware manufacturer, whose place
of business is on Baltimore street. Baltimore, made
an assignment on Wednesday for the benefit of
his creditors, Mr.. Charles E. Wilcox being the
trustee. The nominal assets will amount to about
$4,000. Great depression in business led to the
trouble. Mr.. Warner, who is we'll known and very
highly esteemed, expects to pay dollar for dollar
of his indebtedness. Much sympathy is expressed
for him. as his house was the oldest in the business
in Baltimore, and its character for reliability
second to none.

@-A newspaper correspondent who writes
from Bar Harbor, Maine, says that Mr.. Blaine has
decided to take up the cause of Prohibition, and
that he will shortly deliver speech committing
himself to that issue. 1t is said that the Maine
statesman expects by this means to make serious
inroads on the Democratic party in the South and
and thus more than make up for the loss of the
German vote in the West through the Republican
party's endorsement of the Prohibition movement.
But it is just possible that this is only newspa-
per story and entirely unworthy of belief.

~ The institution of slavery soon will disappear
from the western hemisphere forever. In Brazil
the slaves are being gradually emancipated under
a system that bears as lightly as possible upon
holders, and before ten years have gone by all
will be freed. In Cuba similar work has been
going on, until now more than half the slaves
have been emancipated. In the Spanish chamber
of deputies at Madrid, lately, the government
was directed, by a unanimous vote, to free
the remaining slaves in Cuba soon as possible
1t be done pretty suddenly if necessary, either
by proclamation or by purchase.

N4-The Baltimore American, in its Sunday
political hash, says that a movement is now on
foot to buy Hon. j. Fred. c. Talbot off from be-
ing candidate for Congress in this district by
promising him the Colectorship of Internal Rev
enue for Maryland. Of course there is no truth
whatever in this story, Mr.. Talbott's friends as
sorting very positively that he is in the fight to
stay and that no promise that might be made to
him can have the effect of changing his plans
The Americans enmity to the ex-COngressman is
well known and it is never better pleased than
when it can misrepresent him.

No person who has read from day to day
the reports of the trial ofthe Anarchists at Chicago
will fail to see that very strong case has been
made out against the prisoners. The revelations
have been of startling nature. 1t has been con-
clusipaIv shawn that long before the explosion of
the dynamite bomb in May last, these "social re.
formers" had plotted Systematically to carry out
their aims of violence and plumber. The strongest
testimony these points is given from the mouths
of reluctant witnesses, who had been admitted to
the confidence of the leaders of the miscreants.-
The defence will find it difficult to shake evidence
of this clear nature and there is good ground for
believing that the country will not be disappoin-
ted of its expectation of some salutary hanging
to follow close upon the conclusion of the trial.

ND~A correspondent of the Philadelphia Times
says that Phil. Dryer told him the other day that
turf not so much in accepting wagers, but in their
constant efforts to demoralize the stable employees
and the too free disbursement of money in the
form of brides for information. In fact they
know too much about stables in general. He
seemed to take the position that the book maker
has no more right to intelligence in that direction
than the public at large, and should lay his odds
on conception rather than on purchased points.
