1t is noticed that several changes from
one political party to another have taken
place lately, but significant fact connected
with them Is that most OF the democrats
who have gone over to the republicans live
in Pennsylvania, which state is sure 10 40
republican any way. and most OF the repub-
leans who have gone over to the democrats
live in states which are reliably democratic.
The changes 10 the doubtful states will at.
tract attention after awhile, aud viii proba-

MAYOR LATRoBE wanted an opinion from At
toney-General Whyte as to the constitution
atty of the extension law, believing, no doubt,
that such an opinion, coming from the highest
legal authority in the State-if it were favor
able-would entirely upset that of Col. Mar
shall, which had very perceptible effect with
the voters in the Belt. But the Attorney-Gen
eral declined to write an opinion, unless the
Governor requested him to do so. The Cover
nor has nothing to do with this little affair fur
ther than to appoint the judges and clerks of
election, and hence he will not make the re-
quest. But the Mayor has fallen back upon
Mr. Bernard Carter, who mainly framed the
bill, and it is not at all likely that he will de
clare unconstitutional bill which he himself
prepared. The ESening NeDs endeavors to make
it appear that although Mr.. Whyte declined to
write an opinion, be was nevertheless satisfied
that the law was all right but this the people
interested do not believe. At the present
writing the Mayors fences" so far as his an
nexation scheme is concerned, are in very bad
shape.

A Great Power.

More than thirty-two thousand copies of
Webster's Unabridged Dictionary have been
placed in the Public Schools of the United
States. Who can tell what great power for
intellectual stimulus and development to the
young mind the constant use of and reference
to that number of the great work will be. If
in these schools there is an average of fifty
scholars in each, it would bring more than a
million and half of scholars under its daily
influence What an effect this must have in
coming years on the power of thought and
language thus developed Well and truly has

THE DEMOCRATIC primary meetings held IN
this county on Saturday last were the tamest
we have almost ever known here. The only
district in which there was contest so far as
we have heard, was in the 9th, where DR.. J, 5.
Baldwin ran ticket against Talbot and was
beaten eleven votes. The other ten districts
(the LIST and 18th being in the Fifth Congress
sional district also sent Talbot delegates, so
that Mondays convention in Towsontown was
solid for him and the delegates to the Congress
sional convention are for him first, last and all
the time. Mr.. Talbot friends think he is sure
of a nomination. Cecil county's delegation
will be for Mr.. Cruikshank Harford's for Her
man Stump, and Carrolls vote will be solid for
DIR. Shaw. The convention will be held at
Havre-de-Grace Thursday, May 9th.

SINCE THE PRONUNCIATION of Col. Charles Mar
shall's opinion on the unconstitutionality of
the 10Th section of the city extension law the
change of sentiment in the Belt has been Won
derfully marked. People are not too anxious
to rush into the city and be taxed s1.90 on the
500, but prefer to remain where they are and
pay 81 cents.

Ex-JUDeE WILLIAM A. FISHER has also writ
ten a lengthy opinion in which he declares the
Belt bill unconstitutional and void. He refers
particularly to the 10Th section, which he says
is clearly unconstitutional, and adds: I'm my
opinion the entire act of Assembly would be
void, and the territory, Notwithstanding the
vote in favor of annexation, would remain a
part of Baltimore county" This IS settler

THE REPUBLICANS of Baltimore county will
hold their primary meetings to-day Saturday
as the preliminary step towards sending dele
gates to the National convention. We wish it
were possible for them to hold at least one pri-
mary entirely free from the dictates and under
hand trickery of would-be bosses and wire
pullers, but we fear that such thing is impOs-
sible. There are hundreds of lifelong Repub-
icans in this county who have become so utter
ly disguised with the same old farce that has
been played over and over for so many years
that they have determined to abstain from
voting in the primaries until better order of
things shall come about. And it is not sur
prising that this is so. They have been led
around by the nose and so persistently dictated
to and bossed that they have grown sick of the
infamous business. The result of this is that
the party, instead of being in healthy and
Furnishing condition, is actually on the decline,
with not enough vim and life in it to stand up
and make an aggressive fight. The large num-
Der of desertions from the Republican party to
the Prohibitionists in this county is dueto this
detestable boss business in their own organiza-
ton, and more will surely follow unless there
comes a change for the better.

WE PRESENT on the first page of THE UNION
to-day an excellent picture of Thomas r. Green,
Esq, Republican member of the Legislature
from Caroline county, and the only man in the
House who voted with the Baltimore county
delegation against the city extension bill. Our
pooplo fool very grateful to Mr.. Green for that
vote and to show that the act is duly apprecia-
ted here we had the picture engraved in order
that all might gaze upon his handsome fea-
lures. 1t cannot help but prove particularly
pleasing to those citizens of the Belt who are
making such a manly fight against the
encroachments of the city and they will no
doubt be highly gratified to see the picture OF
the only member of the House of Delegates,
except those from their own county, who stood
up manfully and cast his vote against the bill
whose object is to rob Baltimore county of a
populous and wealthy section of her domain

Gus act by voting against city extension on the

THE coLoRED VOTERS in and around Wayeriy
are almost solid against city extension. The
extensionists made strong efforts to capture this
vote through the most beautiful promises, but
they have made very bad failure OF it. A
large meeting was held at Waverly on Monday
night. which was addressed by several colored
ministers. There was much enthusiasm and
an evident determination on the part of the
voters TODD their level best to defeat the scheme

DIR. JACKSON PIPER, president of the Towson-
town Artesian Well Company, has published
a statement in which he sets forth the condi-
ton of the company at this time. The well
has reached depth of about six hundred feet
and the flow of water is only eighteen gallons
per minute, when not less than forty gallons
per minute will be required to supply the town.
In order to get this flow it will be necessary to
bore still deeper, and before this can be done
more money will be required. The stock
holders are slow about paying in their subscrip-
tions and lack of funds has made suspen-
sion of operations necessary for the present
This is an unfortunate state of affairs and we
regret the necessity of making so plain state
ment which cannot help proving rather re-
Election upon our people. That the want OF
few hundred dollars should put stop to an en-
terprise of this kind is in the highest degree I'M
fortunate, and those of our citizens who are
able to do so should come promptly to the as
sistance of the company and furnish the neces-
sary funds to prosecute the work. An ample
supply of pure water for Towsontown would
be of incalculable advantage in many ways
It would certainly enhance the value of proper
ty, besides supplying us with comforts too
great to be estimated. Wehope, therefore, that
our citizens will not permit the enterprise to
languish, but will promptly furnish the neces-
sary capital to carry it through to success.

THE New YORK Sam is now authority for the
statement that Hon. James G. Blaine will short.
Iy sail for home and that before he does so he
will write another letter positively declining to
accept the Republican domination for the Pres
idency. 1t also says that he will go so far as to
say that THE convention should nominate him
he will not stand This may or may not be so.
But it is plain that the Blaine element in the
Republican party is going right ahead electing
delegations in his favor wherever it can be done
and it looks as though the shriekers do not be-
lieve that their chief means what he says. We
shall see what We shall see.

THE OPINION of Hon. William A, Fisher in
which, like Col. Marshall, he declares the city
extension bill unconstitutional, is hard blow
to the extensionists, who are now between the
upper and neither mill-stones and are being
slowly but surely pulverized. The 10Th section,
he says is ''void, as well with reference to the
mode of assessment as to the rate Of taration."
If they vote to go in the Belt people know now
what they may expect.

are telling the colored men it will bring them
work. This is false. How many cOlOred men
are employed by the city government? Not one.
Then taxes will eventually be higher, if not at
