"IT is unfortunate for the rank and file
of some of the labor organizations, !"
says the Labor Free Press of Baltl-
more, ''that they allow blatant political
tricksters in their ranks to assume head
and front in movements of political
nature. When men of that stamp be-
come prominently identified with pro-
posed public measures intended to ben
eft the industrial class, the latter is
already half lost, because of a lack of
confidence in such men by those they
are supposed to represent as to their
sincerity beyond their own self advance
ment through ring politics. In every
city there are men to be found in the
labor organizations who are merely in
them for what they are individually
worth to them, for what they can make
out of them politically or otherwise.
When men OF the character alluded 70
are well known to be OF the stripe
pointed out, 1t might appear that some
of the rank and file would have the
courage to have them impeached and
relegated to that obscurity which would
tend to greater harmony among the
organizations than the prominency they
are allowed to assume. Like the rebel
lious angels, such demagogues would
rather rule in hell than serve in Heaven,
for they oppose any and all efforts made
for labor's advancement by others out
side their clique, no matter how COM
mendable a measure of the kind may
be. With such fellows rule or ruin IS
a motto.

The theory that the public school
could be- made to include several small
workshops apparently has been shelved
by those advocates of manual training
who, few years ago, were mildly clam
orous for the introduction of this re
form. Probably they have wisely con-
Guided that technical schools have their
place in the educational system, but
that their place is not in the school
room, where busy teacher is laboring
to impart the three RS, and finds none
too much time for that. These are
objections from the point of the work
ing teacher. The social objections were
never more forcibly stated than by Sec
rotary Dickinson in the current number
of Education He writes cit has
been discovered that a citizen of free
State has no special place for which he
is to be prepared, and to which he is
to be assigned. The place he is to fill
is to be determined, not by the acci
dents of birth, of race, or of wealth, but
by the qualities of his mind and the use
he makes of his power. The children
as they enter the public schools do not
bring with them the facts from which
the teacher may infer what special in
struction the future of each one will
require This is golden principle,
stated in golden words. Secretary Dick
inson need lay by no other account of
his stewardship SO long as these are
remembered to the credit of his sagacity
and his patriotism.

The Legislature of Maryland has
already consumed one third of the time
allowed it, the limit of its session being
ninety days, and as far as ascertained
has passed about two bills. The i'm
portant business of the session has yet
to be transacted. If it acts as deliber-
ately for the next two months, the
record of its work will not be up to
public expectation by any means.

OUR fellow taxpayers of Worcester

OUR fellow taxpayers of Worcester
county want to economic on crows,
hawks, and owls. The bounty on these
predatory birds last year cost them over
5000. Although they advocate free
trade there, they want to be exempted
from it in the case of birds which draw
bounties, since their supply is largely
drawn from Delaware and Virginia.
One opponent of protection was enter
prising enough to draw two bounties on
the same birds, producing the heads
before one magistrate and the feet be-
fore another. Like their free-trade
congeners in greater enterprises, they
play sort of "Heads I win Tails you
Lose" game.

Democratic Doubts.

A short time ago it was difficult not
to say impossible to find Democratic
journal with the exception of the World
and New York San, which did not
editorially take two things for granted,
viz, that Mr.. Cleveland would be re-
nominated, and that his re. election was
was certain. The average Democratic
editor seemed to treat these two events
relatively as cause and effect-that be-
cause Mr.. Cleveland would be re-nomi-
mated therefore he would be reelected.
This confidence was the outgrowth of
the idea that the man is stronger than
his party, and that his administration
had allayed popular distrust of Dem
ocratic restoration.
Recently, however, while there is no
doubt expressed as to the certainty of
Mr.. Cleveland's denomination there is
evidently less confident tone notlcea-
bic as to the absolute and unquestioned
certainty of his reelection. Our atten-
ton has been attracted to this by the
doubtful tone of Washington cores
pondents, and particularly by the Ian
guage of the correspondent of the Bal
timore San whom reports credits as
being the private secretary of Senator
German, and whose utterances in a
measure at least reflect the inner cur
rents of political sentiment in high
Democratic circles. On Wednesday
last this gentleman took occasion to
write, that it would be unjust to the
Democratic leaders to say that they are
oversanguine as to the result of the
next election. Those who take deep
interest and pride in maintaining the
supremacy of their party realize that
they have no easy task before them,
and that it will be necessary to present
a well disciplined and unbroken front
to the enemy. Some apprehensions
are felt in certain quarters about the
two Virginias. These two States are
regarded by some as by no means safely
Democratic, and unless a determined
fight is made to keep them in line it is
thought they may be captured by the
Republicans. That they are even re-
garded as doubtful by some was demon
strated at recent consultation of the
Democratic leaders held in this city.
The situation in these two States was
discussed at length, and it was admitted
that the Republicans seem to be gain
ing ground there and assuming threat
ening attitude"
To say nothing of the probable effects
of Mr.. Clevelsnd's recent free-trade
utterances upon the voters in the indus
trial centres of the two states referred
to by this correspondent, it is possible
that he may have been studying little
more closely the results of the elections
of 1887, as compared with those of
1888. If he has not, we will submit
The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1888-02-11

them as prepared by one of our cotem-
porares last tall, as affording a reason
able ground on which TO base specula-
tons for 1888. The comparison OF the
votes of the eight states in 1887, with
the votes of the same states in 1883,
are interesting if not instructive, because
they are votes preceding presidential
elections. They are presented in the
following table, the highest plurality
given any candidate, Republican or
Democratic, being taken in each case

SMOKING cigarettes is quite enough
for a young man, but smoking and
smuggling them at the same time is
objectionable. Collector Groome
thought SO at least the other day, and
confscated youngsters cigarettes and
fined him $40 besides for attempting to
defraud the Customs officers. This is
another argument in favor of free-trade.

DRESS GOODS.

Every day adds something
fresh to this stock. The adj
vertiser's pen cannot keep pace
with the new goods. The fol
lowing are noticed because es-
pecially suited to early Spring
wear, and are very cheap:
Peerless Sateens at I2H
cents. A great number of our
own exclusive styles, equal in
pattern, color, and finish to the
finest French at three times
the price.
French Cashmeres, 40 inch,
at SO cents; at least one quar-
ter Oft from a proper price.
Iwenty-seven colors.
A rare lot Of Suitings in new
shades of gray and brown and
fancy mikes. SO inches wide,
at 2S cents a yard-would be
cheap at 371a cents.
Habit Cloths, 81 inches wide,
IS cents. A large lot, includ-
ing 50 varieties Of color; all the
new fashionable shades, plain
and mixed. Also another lot,
~ inches wide, at 50 cents. A
quarter off present market
value. 80 colorings, including
choice new shades.
Broadcloths, 50 inches wide,
at SI.2o. They are 10 per
cent. better in quality than
similar goods at SI.25.
Black Serge Foule. A new
arrival. Every fibre fine wool.
Soft to the touch, yet firm and
crisp under finger pressure. A
stuff that we shall hear much
more of. 40 inches wide, .37H
cents. A before unheard of
price for such goods.
Wool Challis. Sixty varie-
ties in color and figure that are
just open. Twenty-Five at 50
cents, thirty-flve at 90 cents, 80
inches wide. The lower priced
are all white and cream
grounds, the higher have also
pink and blue.
The wonderful color printing
has a splendid chance on the
sheer wool fabric. The fingers
of one hand will count the color
printers of all the world who
can do such work.
We have had the same sort
of goods in former seasons,
but never quite equal in weave
and figure to the beautiful sixty
we now have on sale. Thoughts
of tea-gowns or house-dresses
or room-wraps may find ex-
preston in these Challis.

The Baltimore Herald is authority
for the report that there are ominous
whisperings in the air. Is it possible
that Senator German and his friends
have joined in a revolt against the re-

mum, Hill ct al, that Maryland should
swing out of the Cleveland column?
Our genial and eloquent representa-
