A Stand for Principle.

From the NeD York World.
The Democratic party, through its tradi-
tons, its platforms and its President, is COM
mitted to these principles:
l) The Government has no constitutional
or moral right to collect Il revenue in excess
of the needs of its economical administration.
Unnecessary taxation is unjust taxation.
Unjust taxation is tyranny, whether imposed
in monarchy or a republic.
(2) A surplus in the Treasury is a nationa
evil, and may become a national peril. 1t is
a astanding temptation to extravaganza. Itmay
perpetuate high taxes for a long period by
leading to the Inauguration of expenditures
that will be continuous. The way to deal
with surplus is to stop its collection.
(3) The taxes to be first abated are those
which bear heaviest upon the greatest number
of people-namely, taxes upon universal ne
cessities and the essentials of manufactures.
Hence the food, the fuel, the shelter and the
clothing of the people and the raw materials
of manufactures should be first relieved in any
reduction of taxation.
These are Democratic principles. They
should constitute the Democratic policy.
Whatever compromise may be required to
secure the best attainable result it is the bust
ness of craftsmanship to make. Statesman
ship has been defined to be ''the science of
the practical" and the practical duty before
Congress is the prevention of the surplus.
But the President is entitled to the thanks
of the country and to the united support of
his party in his courageous stand for sound
principles

Gov. Lloyd's Message.

Brevity is the soul of wit, and also Of
wisdom, especially in public documents.
President Cleveland's message was brief,
confined to one subject-Revenue Re
form-that the attention of Congress and
the country might be directed to that matter
more particularly. The late message of
g Gov. Hill of New York, was brief, and
Gov. Lloyd seems to have followed the ex-
ample of those gentlemen, and made his
message to the Legislature very brief
one.
The Governor dwells with satisfaction
upon the excellent financial condition and
high credit of the State, points to the re-
duction of the debt and the possibility Of
refunding the sterling bonds, which mature
in 1889, at low rate of interest He
recommends new assessment law which
will bring in personal property as fully as
real estate is assessed now. He recon-
mends a new election law with paid su-
pervisors. He favors liberal appropriation
for the proper encouragement of the militia
He also advises assistance to the Chesa-
peake and Ohio Canal through the purchase
of the canal bonds by the sinking fund, a
step which it is plain cannot be legally
taken under the constitution, directly nor
indirectly. The States interest in the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad is also men
toned. Attention is given to the oyster
interest, and better equipped navy is urged
as essential to protect the beds from devas-
tati0n The message recommends the con-
tinuance of the contract system for pen
itentiary labor, so as to make the institution,
as heretofore, self-sustaining. The aban-
donment of it will require an appropriation
of $40 900 per annum to sustain it. The
abolition of the fish commission is advised,
as too costly to the State for the benefits de-
rived from it.
The message deals with variety of
subjects of less Importance, which will be
considered hereafter. The document alto
gether is a clear and able one and shows
our State affairs to be in fourishing con-
dition, and Gov Lloyd is fairly entitled to
public commendation for his efforts TO
bring about this very gratifying result.
He will retire from Office with the good
wishes of all classes Of our citizens.

The Havre de Grace Republican Almanac
for 1888 has been received. 1t is much more
artistic in its illustrations than its predeces-
sors, while its contents are all that can be
desired. 1t has become to Hartford county
what the SIN almanac has to the State.
The Carroll Ne,cs, Union Bridge,) last
Saturday issued handsome little calendar to
each of its subscribers. The proprietor of
the Neles is giving Union Bridge good local
paper and is deserving of every support the
people there can give. Every business man
of the town should advertise in it. subscribe
to it, and lend it helping hand in every pos
sible way.
On Wednesday of last week the Frederick
Eraminer closed its S4th volume. 1t has a
hold on the people of that county that cannot

good paper, and its prospects for the coming
year are most flattering.
The Christmas issue of The Baltimorean
was beautifully illustrated, and the contents
suitable for the festive season. Its editors
Thoroughly understand how to cater to the
tastes of its thousands of readers.
From John W. Nall, former student of
Western Maryland College, now residing in

and advertisements of its pushing and active
business men.
The Libertytown Banner has entered upon

Is the Aaaerican itself resigned at the
failure of its statement that Higgins was to

that Mr.. Higgins aspired to the elcrkship

That gentleman had made arrangements of

SO stated in an interview regarding his
resignation of appointment clerk in the
Treasury Department. He was not can
didate for clerk, and his name Was not

Congressman Shaw on Congressional
Work.

From the baltimore ,NeicS.
The Hon Frank t. Shaw, of the Second
Maryland district, is one of the hardest work
ing men in Congress. He says: Committee
work is but little understood by many people.
Perhaps they know that every committee is
divided istc sub committees of three or four
members, and that the reports of such sub
committees are generally adopted by the COM
mittee as whole and subsequently by the
House. When sub committee is at work
upon difficult matter it is clear that each of
its members may have vast amolnt OF work
to do, a much larger amount than most people
imagine who do not carefully consider the
matter. 1t also happens that the burden OF
labor in subcommittee is not rarely laid
upon the shoulders of two men, or even one,
fer there are representatives who are distin-
guished more for their light heartedness than
for their industry. ] mean that some men
enter Congress for the dignity that the position
eonfers upon them, and for the good time that
they are able to enjoy while in Washington,
rather than for the display of their talents fol
hard work.
"0nce there was a member in one of the
committees on which was serving, gentle
man representing constituency far away
from here, who did not attend half dozen
meetings during the entire session, and never
troubled himself in the slightest about com
mittee work. He was fine, intelligent man
and popular; but he came to have good
time and that is all there was to it. There j:
no remedy in such cases. A congressman
may do pretty nearly as he pleases-in othel
words, he may not do what he ought to do, j
he likes, and there is no help for it. His only
responsibility is to his constituents, but that ii
grave one.

Four bills restricting immigration are
now pending in Congress, awaiting con-
sideration. Senator Palmer, of Michigan
introduced one, which seems more coinpre-
hensive than the rest, excluding Mormons,
He holds that Mormonism would completely
die out here if not fed by immigration.
They make few or no proselytes in this
country. No docbt the present session OF
Congress will enact some much-needed leg
islation on immigration. Anarchism, So
cialism, Mormonism and all kinds of isms
of evil portent are rife here through our
Iiberality towards the people of all lands
who have been permitted to come to our
shores without restriction, until we are
much in the condition of man who in
yites stranger into his house to partake
of his hospitality, and then is requited by
the stranger, who undertakes to turn him
and his wife and-ehildsen out of doors and
take possession of the house. The Amer
lean people are quite tired of this thing and
will stand it no longer. Stringent immi-
grafton laws must be passed at once

Reasselahling Of Congress.

Congress met on "Wednesday after the
holiday recess. In the House nearly one
thousand bills were introduced. In the
Senate Mr.. Sherman, Of Ohio, delivered
his speech criticising, the Presidents mes
sage which he had been advertising for the
past three weeks. Mr.. Sherman's speech,
boiled down, says the Washington cores
pondent OF the Baltimore Sun, is no more
nor less than the solemn declaration of a
high priest in the Republican party that
sooner than give up any portion of the re-
strictive imposts which compel fifty-eight
million people Of this country topay tribute
to two million, he would sweep away at
one blow the whiskey tax, would plunge
the country into the widest extravagances
in expenditures for all conceivable objects,
and would pension every deserter, bounty
jumper, home-guard and sutler of the Fed
eral army.
Senator Voorhees, replied to Mr.. Sher-
man, and planted himself squarely on the
platform of the President.
