The May term Of the Circuit Court
for Carroll County began at Westmin-
ster Monday morning, with Judge John
E. Smith on the bench. David Rine-
hart of Union Bridge, was selected as
the foreman Of the grand jury. In de-
livering his charge to the grand jury,
Judge Smith especially urged the in
vestigation of violations Of the licease
and gambling laws. He said that it is
matter of public notoriety that not only
in this city, but IN other parts of the
county, men who are licensed to sell
liquor violate the law by selling to
minors and selling on Sunday that it is
unfair that these men should 90 unpun
ished unfair to reputable dealers who
observe the law unfair to the commu-
nifty, the peace Of which is disturbed !;
unfair to the young men to whom intox
icating liquors are sold, and that the
interests of the community demand that
the present grand jury give especial at
tention to the matter.

Several interviews reported only tend
to strengthen our belief that Blaine can

and surprising change in the condition
Of practical affairs to render the belief
in the nomination of any other than
Blaine and Cleveland possible.
Each of them have had ample oppor-

Washington Letter
From OUR REGULAR CoRREsroNDENT.

FROM OUR REGULAR CORRESIoNDtNT.
WASHINGTON, NAY 2lst, SO.
The past few days IN Congress have
been notable for what will BE- known in
political history as the great tariff de
bate of 1888. 1t began more than a
month ago, and has continued almost
uninterrup,edly with a steadily grow
ing interest. 1t is great mistake to
say that the people are not interested
in tariff talk or that they pay no atten-
ton to the discussion. PIotracted de-
bates may often be wearisome to profes
sional politicians, but such a discussion
as this, on a question that touches ev
cry interest of every citizen, has great
attractions for the voting masses.
There has been no time since the
fiery debates Of the reconstruction per
iod when the demand for copies Of
speeches has been so great as the calls
for tariff speeches within the past few
weeks.
The appearance Of the minor partlc-
ipants in the great debate has attract
ed comparatively little attention here,
increased only when an exchange Of
bitter personalities or an exciting, int
eresting bit of repartee has broken the
monotonous progress Of the strife
But on Friday last, all this was chang
ed. 1t was day Of great oratory.-
The tariff issue was presented from its
three sides.
AS in olden times when the bravest
and the fiercest fighters were reserved
until the last, SO the two parties in the
House of Representatives have held
back their recognized leaders, in order
that only the worthiest foeman should
meet face to face. So Mr.. Randall
spoke for the protection dem )crats, MIR.
NJ Kinley for the republicans, and Mr..
Breckenridge for the democrats who
would reform the present tariff system
And from the crowded galleries Of the
House, with their rising tiers of seats
like the old Coliseum of Rome, an i'm,
mense throng of people looked down
upon the floor as if into an arena.
At the close of Mr.. McKinley's bril-
liant effort the House went wild with
enthusiasm. The republicans cheered
with all their might and even many of
the democrats joined in congratulating
him at its close. 1t was conceded to
be the great speech of the debate on
the protection side of the question.
The greatest democratic speech fol-
lowed Immediately and was by MIR.
Breckenridge, of Kentucky. His speech
had been looked forward to in and out
ofCongress. 1t came fully up 20 the ex-
pectations of the public, and at its close
three cheers went up from the and
