Ovcrdia the Praying.

There is just now a general de-
sire to have the pastors OF the vari-
GUS churches here pray for rain.
Some object because they might
oyerdo it. This reminds one Of an
incident some years ago in Genoa.
An old darby who lived in q
lcaky shanty saw his crops wither-
ing 10 from too much drouth, and
asked his son ii he didn't have an
ide, il would be good to pray for
rain. The boy agreed and started
in and while he prayed the old
man fell asleep.
As the boy wrestled with prayer
a big clo:id came over the noun
t.ins, and presently cloudburst in
one of the narrow canyons sent a

and washed through the darkey's
cabin. He woke W with cry OF

journalistic.

Two wears ago Edward Reisler, Esq, be-
gan the publication of the Carroll Ne'cs al
Union Bridge, this county. He met with
much opposition, but his indomitable will and
energy have overcome every obstacle and the
paper to-day is the equal of any in the State
outside of the business centres. We extend
to the Ne,cs our congratulations and bespeak
for it an increased patronage.
Last week the Mechanistown Clarion en-
tered upon its 18th year. Friend Cassell
gives his readers all the news of that end OF
the county, and occasionally goes for his
big brothers in the county seat, very much to
the qualification of his patrons.

warlike Preparation.

The average Briton is more deeply excl
ted upon the subject of England's coast
defences. than Mr.. Tilden was, some
years ago, upon the exposed condition of
the coasts of the United States. The Bri-
ton is also intensely concerned with refer
ence to the inadequate supply Of heavy
ordnance, which is far too small for an
emergency, which, somehow or other, is
believed to be pending If the dispatches
from our mother country are to be accepted
as true the excitement amounts almost to
a panic. The cause of it is not so dis
tinctly understood, but it must arise from
conviction in the public mind that war is
imminent. The effect will be to make the
speediest and most effective preparation
possible, for there is no more warlike peo-
pie on the globe than the English. The
improvements in gunnery, however, and
in heavy ordnance, have made the ordinary
forts and arsenals of brick and stone of no
account. Experience has demonstrated
that the best coast defences are the earth
and the spade. These can be provided at
little expense and at shortest notice. Moth
ing equals for safety well-constructed earth
works. The modern riaed cannon will
pierce twelve-inch steel arrhor backed by
the most solid granite masonry. An EN-
bankment of earth will arrest shot when
nothing else will. This excitement, there
fore, about coast defences should be al
laved

Letter from Texas.
Correspondence of the Democratic Advocate.
srockDALE, WILSON Co., May 9th, 1888

SrocKDALE, WILSON Co., May 9th, 1888.
Kind Editors and Readers:-The very pro-
pitious spring has effectually narrowed the
peoples faces down to their normal lengths.
Farmers have pushed their crops vigorously,
and the weather could not have been better
had it been made to order; pasturage is all
that the stockman could desire, and the crops
and vegetables were never better. But for
the long disastrous droughts that we usually
have during the summer months, this would
evidently be the Italy of America. But hold
on; before some frost bitten toiler of the
North concludes this is Paradise, let me adj
wise you that it gets so hot and dry sometimes
that it seems like dropping lighted match
would ignite the world.
A vigorous effort is now being made by
many business men and capitalists to induce
immigration into this state. Their large de-
scriptive pamphlet beautifully portrays, in
word and engraving, the advantages of Texas,
while the disadvantages, well, shrewd
painter puttieS up defects. A majority of the
country people seem to think that no perma-
nent good could come to any one from an abb.
normal influx of immigration into the state.
Politics are being talked up, and it is no.
ticeable fact that party lines are growing de-
cidedly dim; many people having no utilization
with either of the old political parties. Ex-
cuse US western folks, dear reader, if we fail
to love the present administration as fondly as
does Mrs. Logan, ct ais. -

,Sl7ssfs ~ francisco, recently, was interviewed
~ reporter for the San, of that city. Mr..
Weed u leader of the Empire State De-
pocpGcy. He was Gov. Tilden's right hand

Groyer Cleveland.

1.-The Presidents chances are better than
they were in 1884,"
''HoB about the Irish vote n
There is not so much dissatisfaction in
the Irish vote, this year, as there was in
1884"
How about the Independent vote ~
In 1884 there were many shrewd, careful,
quiet men, who were not politicians in any
sense of the word, who voted for Blaine.
Among this class there existed a decided feel
ing whether it was proper and safe to elect a
Democrat to the presidential chair on account
OF the financial and business outlook. Many
of this class who did not like Blaine voted for
him. Now they see that the country is safe,
and this fact will largely increase Cleveland's
vote among what Governor Tilden used to
call the Independent votes"
sWhat party will get the German vote in
New York this year p
Twenty thousand Germans who always

He is one of the few men in this world who
would not do what he thought to be wrong to
be elected President. Throughout the length
and breadth of the land the common people
admire his pluck and independence, and
think well ofhim. Ifthere was not the hurrah
and hurry burly of campaign, fthere were no
brass bands nor speeches, he would receive
an unprecedented vote from the common
people.
'sWill the New York societies fall in line
FOR Cleveland?'
"Yes, all the halls will stand straight in the
coming fight. There will be no trouble, and
New York State win give Grover Cleveland

The New York iStn, is brave. 1t stands
against the united Democracy of the whole
country! The pass of ThermOpyle was
not defended with more desperate valor
than Mr.. Dana defends his position of
antagonism to President Cleveland. We
admire his courage while We cannot fail to
censure his folly in his obstinate and per-
sistent onslaught upon the President. The
utter hopelessness of breaking him down,
when he is supported by the party en-
masse, would be sufficient to discourage
any other man than Dana, and cause him
to give over his fruitless efforts. But the
waves are not more persistent in beating
against the rocks in old-ocean than the
Sun in opposing Mr.. Cleveland's renomi-
nation, and the effect not less futile

W. BOurke Cochran and Daniel Dough-

W. Bourke Cochran and Daniel Dough-
erty are two of the most eloquent orators
in this country. Cochran is of New York,
and Dougherty of Philadelphia, and both
are Democrats. Both spoke at the New
York State Convention on Tuesday night.
Doughertys gestures are said to be perfect,
but Cochran is pronounced the superior
orator of the two. This estimate, by a
New York journal, might have proceeded
from local pride. They will both attract
immense audiences in the pending campaign.
Frederick r. Coudert, also, chairman of
the convention, is very eloquent man.
The Democratic party will have the advo-
cacy, this year, of some of the ablest and
most eloquent speakers that ever graced
the hastings.

Veteran politicians.


Col. Robert 7. Chester one of the dele
gates to the Tennessee Democratic State CON
vention, will be 95 years old in July. He was
born in Pennsylvania, bnt was taken to East
Tennessee when an infant. He has been a
Mason since 1916, was quartermaster under
Gen. Andrew jackson, and did military SER
vice in Texas in 1886. He has been voting
the Democratic ticket since 1914, and to- day
is standing by the Democratic party with as
much courage to speak and work for it as
ever Old Hickory had Gen. Alfred E. Jack.

is 81 years Of age, served with distinction in

property with the vigilance and activity of o

The CONGRESSIONAL Convention.

The Democratic convention to nominate
candidate for Congress in this congress
ional district, will meet at Havre de Grace
on Thursday next. Each of the four
counties comprising the district has can
didate, but the ADVOCATE can only reit-
crate what it said several weeks ago, that
there exists neither reason nor excuse for
a change of representative. During his
short term in Congress DIR. Shaw has risen
to prominence that few attain in 50 brief
a period. His recent speech on the tariff,
which has been SO heartily commended and
so widely copied by the press of the coun-
try, shows that he is deep thinker, close
and logical reasoner, and an able advocate
of tariff revision and surplus revenue reduc-
ton. Mr.. Cleveland will be renominated
and reelected, and the Democratic party
should see to it that Congress be chosen
that is in accord with him in his policy on
revenue reform, and in this district there
could be no mistake made on that point in
renominating our present representative.
Besides, now that the Democratic party is
on trial, as it were, the party should keep
as many of its tried and experienced men
in Congress as possible, in order that bust
ness may be expedited, and ripe Judgment
be brought to bear upon matters of legis-
lation.
We suggest that as many as can conve-
niently do SO should accompany the dele
CATION from this county to Havre de Grace.
There is strength in numbers, and in
multitude of counsellors there is wisdom
and safety. Backed in this way by the
masses, the other counties of the district,
each of which has a candidate of its own,
would be more likely to yield to the pro-
priety of continuing our present efficient
representative in Congress for another
term,
