An Opportunity for the People OF
Rising Sun,

In Baltimore one of the most rapidly growing
enterprises OF the last few years. and one of the
most appreciated a. well has been the Instalmcnt
Business. Its great advantage and benefits espec
tally TO the medium and poorer classes cannot be
overestimatsd. Formerly people in ordinary cir
cumstsnees were compelled to do without gres t
many necessary comforts of life; that 10. their
houses were scantily furnished, and only because
they could not at any time raise sufficient cash
money to properly furnish them. What little fur
niture they had. was of the poorest and cheapest
class and never made respectable appearance or
gave any satisfaction. Now on the Instalmsnt
Plan any honest person. no matter what his or her
circumstances are no matter he W poor or how
rich. they csn get anything in the way OF Furni.
ture. Carpets. Stoves, Crockery. Refrigerator
Baby Carriages, Parlor Organs. etc. In fact any or
everything necessary to furnish the Home com.
plete from cellar to attic.-they can get all these
by simply paying q small amount cash down and
the balance on small monthly payments. which
ways made so low that the money will hardly be
missed. This plan has become SO popular In all
the larger cities that over twothirds OF al the
way;-in fact all except the extreme wealthy class.
es Now the people of Rising Sun never have had
this opportunity offered them: SO the Peoples

pie of Baltimore now enjoy;-that il to sell them
anything which they may desire to have the

terms of payments low enough to suit any ones
convenience. This House not only sells every
thing in the way of Furniture. Carpets. stoves,

in few weeks she considered herself

cannot say, but it is certainly easy to
try, and can do no harm, which can
not be said of all cathartics.

Possible Republican Combinations.

The republican party is in great distress
as to what will be the outcome of its nation
al convention. 1t is troubled with an ag
gravating lack of harmony, land the harder it
works to straghten things out, the worse
becomes the tangle into which it has got
ten itself. There are numerous candidates
within its ranks, and their aspirations are
of the most conflicting character. Almost
all of them are for themselves individually.
and dead against all the others. With this
state of affairs existing among the leaders,
it is no wonder that the party itself should
be badly torn up by the aggressiveness of
the various elements created by the numer-
Gus aspirants. 1t is hard to tell, or even
form, definite opinion, as to what will be
the choice of the convention. Let us look
at the most prominent Of the various com
bnations which have been suggested.
Blaine and Gresham. This no doubt
would be the choice of the convention if
two uncertainties were removed first, will
Mr., Blaine consent to the use of his name.
and next, would General Gresham accent
the second position? This ticket would be
very satisfactory one to the democrats.
for there is no man in the republican party
strong enough to carry Mr., Blaine, and it
is very doubtful if Mr.. Gresham would be
willing to undertake the job Blaine has
unluestionably the largest and most enthu-
siastic following in lis party, and yet lie is
not the strongest man in the party, for the
large element opposed TO him would not
support him under any circumstances. He
is the fayorite Of the large majority Of his
party, however, which may force him
on the minority.
Blaine and Alger. Ii Mr. Blaine is nom-
mated for the presidency, Governor Alcer.

oUsly as the man for the second place. He

successfully with foreign labor, and without i'm

cover any increased cost Of production which may
exist in consequence of the higher rate Of wages
prevailing in this country
Sufficient revenue to pay all the expenses of the
federal government, economically administered, in
Guiding pensions interest and principal Of the pub
lie debt, can be got under our present system OF
taxation from custom house taxes on fewer import
ed articles bearing heaviest articles Of luxury,
and bearing lighiest on articles Of necessity.
We therefore denounce the abuses OF the existing
tariff and subject to the preceding limitations, we
demand that federal taxation shall be exclusively
for public purposes, aud shall not exceed the needs
of the government economically administered.
The system OF direct taxation known as the inter
nal revenue is a war tax, and, as long as the law
continues, the mo ley derived thereqom should be
sacredly devoted to the relief of the people from the
remaining burdens of the war, and be made fund
TO defray the expenses of the care ana comfort of
worthy soldiers disabled in line of duty in the wars
OF the republic, and for the payment OF such pen
sions congress may from time to time grant to
such soldiers, like fund for the sailors having
been already provided; and any surplus should be
paid into the easury.
There is nothing obscure here-nothing
undemocratic. We can confidently recon-
mend these declarations to the democratic
party today. They carried the party to vic
tory in 1884, and they can carry it to victory
in 1888. 1t will be time enough TO talk of
reading such democrats as Samuel j. Ran
dali and Patrick Walsh out of the party
when they refuse to stand on the platform
which the st. Louis convention shall de-

1t looks like organic union between the
Presbyterian church OF the north and
south.
The meeting at Philadelphia, reported
elsewhere, is as significant as it is interest
ing. The enthusiasm, the deep and earnest
feeling, manifested at the slightest chance,
means that the last vestige of sectional feel
ing is gone, and that, in its place, has
come profound love for the union-as
broad and enduring as the union ITSELF
1t has been the wonder of the country, if
not the reproach of religion, that the last
elements to yield to the REORGANIZATION of
our people are the religious organizations.
When all other bodies wiped out the traces
of sectional feeling, the churches still had
the od-time antagonism and refused to
come together.
1t looks as if the Presbyterians were 60

reconciliation. 1t is to be hoped they will {!

is made:

Advances i'm Aerial Navigation.

1t is now a matter of more than reasona-
BILE certainty that the younger generation
of the present day, if not the older ones,
will live to see such degree of perfection
reached in the development of the science
of aerial navigation, that the practical appli-
cation of the art will play an important part
in the methods of transportation of their
day.
The remarkable achievements which
would have been looked upon as impossi-
bilities a hundred years ago, are certainly
more wonderful in the perfection which
they have attained, than would be the sue
cessful application of the theory of practical
transportation through the air, Had our fore
fathers of the revolution been told that their
Grandchildren would be conveyed from
place to place at the rate of forty miles an
hour by means of the railroad of today, or
that almost instantaneous communication
by telegraph would be established between
all parts of the civilized world, or that such
things as the photograph, the telephone
and many other conveniences now in every
day use, would perform their wonderful
work of today. or that Liverpool would be
brought within five days of New York, they
would have looked upon such prophesies,
certainly with less credulity than should
we of today on the prospect Of navigation
through the air. particularly when we con-
slider that in the one case nothing had been
done to foretell such wonderful advances,
and in the other, that various experiments
have been made showing that successful re-
suits are almost certain.
The art Of trayersing the air, even by
means of balloons. is comparatively new
one. The first aerial voyagers, by human
contrivance, were a sheep, duck and a
cock, which were sent mp in balloon in

The Matter Of Murder.
What is murder?

What is murder?
Frankly, under many decisions of the
courts, we do not know.
After all, the courts decide this matter.
One thing, however, is certain: the day
has passed when peaceable citizen can carry
either derringer or a revolver There is no
room for such outlawry anywhere All over
the land speeds the spirit of peace. If there
is any turbulent manifestation about, it is
only on the frontiers.
Sometimes in hot blood one man will kill
another. This is not murder under the code.
1t is manslaughter.
Even this is bad enough. Under our new
system we have to avoid duels, and all that
sort of thing. We must do more. The hot
temper must be checked, the impetuous
passion must be stopped in some way, and
the calamitous results of our social condi-
tions must receive the proper restraint.
What is the remedy? 1t takes boldness to
speak it, but after all it is civilization.
And here we leave it, The word most
needed for our inspiration is:
Civilization!
There is enough in this word. 1t does
away with pistols and guns. 1t speaks for
itself. 1t carries the gospel of peace with
it. No good citizen will go habitually with
deadly weapons in his hands or in his peck
cts. Civilization is a big thingl

THE FACT THAT Professor Albert Rouse, late
music teacher in the Charlotte, N. c.. female
institute dropped Dead the other day, would
have attracted little attention, if it had not
been on account of his peculiar ideas. 1t seems
that the professor believed in cremation, and
the ceremony was performed near Brooklyn,
l.. I. The local chronicler says: 'The coffin
which contained Professor Rouse's body was
not opened from the time it left Charlotte
until it reached the crematory. When the FIJI
neral procession arrived there, the furance was
fired up and ready to receive the body. The
coffin was opened and the body was taken out
and wrapped in a cloth that had been thor
oughly saturated with alum. The body was
completely enyeloped by the CLOTH and was
then placed on an iron bed, when the furnace
door was opened, and it was showed III and the
door closed. The furnace was constructed
something III the order of 4 bakers oven, and
was at white heat when the body was showed
i'll. So intense was the heat that the attend
ants could not approach within less than four
feet of it. Tho iron bed, containing the Sheet
ed body, was lifted by long hooks and showed
into the furnace. AS the body was assigned to
its proper place, the furnace door was shut
and closed tight by means of screws. Then
the heat was left to do its work. AT the end
of three hours the door was opened and the
iron bed that held the body was drawn out.
The alum cloth was intact, and within its folds
were the ashes of Professor Rouse. The ashes,
which were sufficient to fill pint measure,
were collected, deposited in an urn and turned
over to his relatives
