HOW TO GET STRONG.

DR.. George H. Stones Talk Before the
Y. NJ. c. A. Last Night
DR.. George H. Stone gave a short talk on
Physical Culture" before the Young
Mems Christian Association last night. 1t
was the second of the series of medical talks
that will be given before the association
during the winter. The hall was filled and
TIE lecture was listened to with great deal
of interest DR.. Stone advocated that more
attention be given to physical culture in
the public schools, and he believes that
much can be accomplished by systematic
gymnastic exercises.
The General Secretary made few re-
marks regarding the gymnasium, after
which the audience visited the Association
rooms and the gymnasium. All were well
pleased with the evenings entertainment.

Legislative Notes.

There has been but little local leg
islalion for this county since our last
issue. A few bills, already noted,
have been advanced but no new ones
introduced.
Mr.. Friends bill to prohibit hunt
ing and fishing in this county by
non-residents of the State, met with
decided opposition here, and a strong
protest against its passage was sent
down Monday. We understand that
Mr.. Friend will so amend the bill as
to exclude Districts 7, s. and 10 from
its provisions.
The bill providing for the appoint
ment of treasurer for Calvert coun-
ty came up for second reading. 1t
proposed to have the treasurer APP
pointed by the Governor. The bill
was amended so as to have the treas
urer elected by the people.
The House Judiciary Committee
have instructed their chairman by a
unanimous vote to report favorably
the bill to strike out the word
"white" from the bastardy law.
The Joint committee on elections
sat until midnight OF Monday, and
they will meet every night this week
to complete the new election law. Its
features have already been published.
The Governor is to appoint election
commissioners for Baltimore city and
the counties. In the city these COM
missioners will appoint boards of
registers for each ward, anu in the
counties one register for each election
district. They shall also appoint the
Judges and CLERKS of election, and
serve as canvassers of the vote. A
new registration is to be had in 1889,
and every four years thereafter in the
city and every ten years in the coun-
ties, with annual supplementary reg
istration.

President, and cannot be hidden out
of sight in 1888.
The country is now in the enjoy
ment of an industrial system which
in quarter of century has assured
a larger national growth, a more rap
id accumulation and broader diStrib-
ution of wealth than were ever be-
fore known to history. The Ameri-
can people will now be openly and
formally asked to decide whether this
system shall be recklessly abandoned
and new trial be made of an old
experiment which has uniformly led
to national embarrassment and wide
spread individual distress. On the
result of such an issue, fairly pre-
sented to the popular judgment, there
is no room for doubt. One thing only
is necessary to assure SucceSS-cOm-
plete harmony and cordial co-opera-
ton on the part of both of those who
aspire to lend and Of those who are
eager to follow.
The duty is not one merely Of hon
orable devotion to the party whose
record and whose aims are alike
great, but it is one'demanded by the
instinct of self.interest and by the
still higher promptings patriotism.
A closer observation of the conditions
of life among the older nations gives
a more intense desire that the Amer
lean people shall make no mistake in
choosing the policy which inspires
labor with hope and crowns it with
dignity. which gives safety to capital
and protects its increase, which Sc
cures political power to every citi'
zen, comfort and culture to every
home. To this end, not less earnestly
and more directly as private citizen
than as public candidate. l shall
devote myself, with the confident be
lief that the administration of the
4 Government will he restored to The
party which has demonstrated thu
purpose and the power to WELD it fO
the unity and the honor of the Re
public, for the prosperity and prog
ress of the people.

Winious T,ooiSIafinn


We observe that there is bill for
Garrett county to take the appoint
ment of County Treasurer or Collec-
tor from the County Commissioners
and give it to the Governor. Can
there be anything worse than legis-
lation of this kind? 1t is precedent
for all kinds of narrow and danger
GUS legislation. If the people of a
county should change their Commits
sloners, and for the best of reasons, at
once application is to be made to the
Legislature for a law divesting the
Board of all appointing power and
comforting it upon the Governor.
Here is a violation of the home rule
principle that no one, and especially
a Democrat, should for a moment en-
terrain or justify. The transference
of so exclusive county appointment
as this to the Governor, who, not re-
siding there, cannot be expected to
know the people of the county, and
must in the appointment be more or
less directed by a few, or il may be
by coterie of intriguing politi-
clans, and who it may be in this in
stance, are engaged in getting this
change so as to put some fayorite in
place.
So, also, is there like bill to take
from the Judges their present power
of appointment of School Commits.
sioners for the county and give this
appointment to the Governor. There
is no doubt but that this movement
is inspired by some persons not sat-
isfied with some appointments made
by the School Commissioners, and
who In such a change may get the
chance of putting themselves or fa-
vorites in place.
The Governor, Of course, cannot be
expected to know personally the
gentlemen recommended for these
places and must, more or less, depend
upon the few who may be interested
in these appointments. The whole
tendency of these changes is the con-
centration of power and patronage in
the hands of one man. Then it is eX-
pected by the persons engineering
these changes that the appointments
will be made to suit them. 1t is said
that these are local matters that
should be controlled by the local del
egates. But not so-these are changes
affecting an entire system. If these
changes are needful for one county,
why not for all the counties and
hence have a general change. We
have general systems for the collec-
ton of taxes and for the government
of schools, and these local changes
should not be allowed to interrupt
the systems.

New YORK, Feb. I3.-The Times
says: IA variety Of circumstances
conspire to throw a visible shade of
doubt over Mr.. Blaiue's actual mean
ing. But after all the striking feat
ure in the present political situation
is the extraordinary activity Of the
Republican clubs all over the cOun-
try. These clubs are Blaine clubs,
the men who have organized and
who control them are Blame men,
and it is from Blaine centres that the
influences have gone forth and are
still going forth to build up these
clubs and .repare them for effective
W. WORN az Chicago in June and during
the campaign. This conspicuous pc.
iitlcal fact bellies the words which Mr..
Blaine writes from Florence, and
makes his letter almost ridiculous.
A machine of such unusual proper
tons 50 carefully elaborated and put
together, has net been set up on the
mere chance that Mr.. Blaine would
beia candidate, or might be persuaded
to be, and it will not be taken apart
or turned over to the service of any
of Mr.. Blaine's rivals merely because
NJ. Blaine has written a letter to
Chairman Jones stating that his
name will not be presented to the
nominating convention. The Blaine
agitation will go on as merrily as
ever, in spite of this rather ambigu-
Gus disclaimer of presidential aspira-
tons on the part of Mr.. Blaine. And
if, when the Chicago convention al
JOurns, Mr., Blaine shall discover that
he is the nominee, nothing will be
easier than for him to write another
letter to Mr.. Jones, or to Mr.. JoneS's
successor, explaining that when he
was in Florence he really did not I'M

Irresistible character of the popular
demand for James G. Blaine"
The Herald says: 1--WE part from
Mr.. Blaine on his withdrawal from
public affairs. The Republican party
has many leaders ready for the cam
paigI. New England has presented
Hawley, with a strong following,
and the advantage of a meritorious
civil and military career. In new
York we have Evarts and score of
statesmen.

dates with John Sherman easily in

aroused by the name and glory of
Sheridan should disturb Republican

surrenders."
The Tribune says: "This letter Is
no surprise to the friends OF Mr..

tant he has been from the outset to

fact that Mr.. Blaine was almost
