Ai6ALTlMORE PAPERS VIEWS.
The Prize Lies Bstween New York and
Chicago.

Chicago.
WAsHTNGroS, Jan. 22.-The Baltimore
American, disinterested observer, says re-
garding the Democratic Convention: New
York will make hard fight, and the battle
will really be between that city and Chi
cago. The friends of Messrs. Hill and
Cleveland are inclined TO favor New York.
but Illinois has two presumptive Vice Pres
idential candidates-Commission OF Pen
sions Black and First Assistant Postmaster
General S.evenson-wnose friends will, of
course. prefer Chicago. The belief here is
that Chicago will get the prize, with st.
Louis next in the line of possibility. At all
events, it is not thought that New York
will be Sc ected.
fhe Cincinnati delegation find so few peo-
pie here authorized to talk about the loca-
ton for the convention that their visit is of
little value except to learn the general feel
ing OF the various interests nd candidates.
Indications are that the President will favor
his own State New York. and that Steven
son, Black and Villas, the Vice Presidential
candidates. will favor Chicago ST. Louis,
1t is learned. will throw her strength to
Cincinnati rather than see the convention

A LOCAL MIRACLE.
Hiram Camps Miraculous Ad,enture-A
Long Bellied Horse,

Hiram Camps Miraculous Ad,enture-A
Long Bellied Horse,
One of our solid citizens is Hiram
Camp. Not only is he solid, but he is
full of years, descended, as he says, from
his father, who was God-fearing man.
Recently souvenir really an adver ising
dodge was issued apparently to com
memorate his escape from a ridiculous
death. 1t seems, when Hiram was a boy
his father owned a farm. In those hal
cyon days horses were sometimes used to
pull plows, and it was to this custom
that New Haven owes something,
Farmers Camp, though placing unlimited
confidence in divine providence, made
assurance doubly sure, one day, by tying
young Hiram upon the horse he was to
drive in the field Nevertheless the mo-
ton of the horse caused the young man
to slide around till his head dangIed UNI
derneath the horse which started off on
galop around the stubble field. The
souvenir says that it was through the
special interposition of providence that
Hiram was not killed. This interpositon
evidently began in the breeding of the
horse, for he was evidently one of those
excessively long-bellied animals not &C
counted valuable by jockeys. Besides,
young Hiram hung directly in the middle,
so that he was out of reach of the flying
hoofs. The miracle, some think, was in
the shane of the horse. The writer of
the souvenir is positive that the subject
of his little work was intended by the
almighty creator and preserver Of the
universe to become great man among
men, and he seems to think this has been
realized. Hiram Camp is honored by
the citizens, and many employees furnish
him with their labor and only require a
small portion of their production to live
upon-the rest they give to the good
man.
Truly the ways of providence are be-
You'd the comprehension of the ordinary.

INTERNAL REVENUE.

The Cigarmakers' Unions in this City
Opposed to It's Continuance.
Both the Cigarmakers' Unions in this
city have refused to request the repre-
sentatives in Congress from this State to
vote in favor of continuing the internal
revenue tax on tobacco. They claim
that they were not consulted first, and
that their national convention had no
power to dictate to them upon what they
consider matter of politics, The mat
ter was not submitted for general vote
to the local unions. The Hartford Union
has taken similar action.

COLD COMFORT FOR CLEVELAND.

Henry George came down here to say
That when ii comes round to delivery
day,
"Tve sold out to Cleveland, but I'm afraid
I've contracted debt that cannot be
paid.
And on thinking it over, it makes cold
SILVER,
Because I'll not have the goods to de-
liver"
Now, George, you may wear any sized
hat,
But you can't deliver us, we are not
Democrat.
There is just one difference in the choice
you could make,
And you took the Democratic head off
the two-headed snake.
And we give you fair warning we're not
sold at all,
In their net they will find but clear
water haul.
Go back to New York confessing your
sin
And begging the pardon of DIR. McGlynn;
And tell him your coming down here
was ''too thin"
And left cold comfort for Cleveland

SOCIAL. PURITY.

DIR. Kate BushneIl's Plain Talk Right In
Church.
There was an unusual subject up for
consideration at the Presbyterian Church
on Church street opposite the Green
last Wednesday evening The speaker
was DR.. Kate Bushnell, and she an
nounced her subject, Social Purity"
Social impurity would perhaps be more
appropriate,
She said she could talk for long time
on degraded women, and not offend any
of her hearers but it would do no good,
for they were not there to listen II
will instead talk of the sins of higher So
ciety," she said, land of the man who is
guilty for the. sins of the degraded
woman, and of those who SO freely as
sociate with him.
The speaker evidently thought that
those whom she especially considered
were represented in her audience,
though, for that matter, she might have
been mistaken. She asserted that the
young ihen were pure compared WIN
the rich men of society. ut is the mon
eyed man who is guilty of destroying
the virtue of the girls of our country.
People say of the fallen young woman
that she was silly and weak minded, but
they never say anything of the old man
who took advantage of the girls weak
mind"
The speaker seemed to think it was
simply case of weak mind on the part
of the woman and of lust on the part of
men. She might have learned some
thing of the economical conditions which
assist in making "A mind weak An
empty stomach and desire for food and
raiment go great way in determining
individual cases. Adog'slife in factory
