There is a young man going
about town playing the deaf and
dumb game and soliciting money.
He is not deaf and dumb for on
Monday when he heard some parties
talk about the Maine election and
the probabilities he got excited and
lost his head, forgetting he was play
ing an assumed role and began to
talk of the election, showing that he
heard all that was said and could
express himself. He wears a
checkered cap.

Cleveland,s Luck Changing.

One thing hurting the Democrats
and breaking their rank Is growing
belief that Cleveland's luck is at last
changing. This has stood him in
good service heretofore. Many of
his own plans are failing and nearly
all of the organized effort of his
party are resulting ingloriously.
The Negro Convention at Indian
apolis was failure, although the
Democrats had organized it to make
it help them.
The Know Nothing Convention at
Washington City this week was
largely under their control and their
plot to entrap it into an endorse
ment of Harrison was also failure.
The business world is also losing
faith both in Cleveland's manage
ment and his luck. Again that great
class OF Indifferent business men
who in time of lack of prosperity
are always ready for change, and
whose readiness for it defeated the
Republicans in 1884, are now say
ing:-"The situation is bad and
let's have a change" adding that it
can't be worse and that it will pro-
baby be better.

The New York Sun was very
anxious to have Thur man take the
stump, but when he fired eff.his
first bfoadside against the protective
tariff the Sun was not pleased.
The trouble that the Democratic
managers find with Hnrd and Thur
man is that if they talk At all they
will talk free trade. Well, the
Democratic party il committed to
the free trade policy. and must sink
or swim on that issue.

I'm recent speech Governor
Foster of Ohio, using as his date the
record complied by the New York
Tribune, gave this standardization
Of Mr.. Cleveland's civil service
career. The Tribune's record has
been before the public for weeks
and has not been successfully at
tackled. Governor Fosters speech
seems likewise impregnable. He
says:
"He has appointed to Office 1877
men who have been indicated and
convicted of crime. Two of them
were murderers, five of them were
duelists, seven of them forgers,
three of them were rioters, a num-
Der of them we're keepers of houses

service, number of them had
been guilty OF pretty larceny, one
Of them had been in the workhouse
for stealing q dog, = number of
them had been convicted for rob-
bling mails and postofiices, and one
of them was appointed to take
charge of postoffice while yet in
Jail for having robbed it. Almost
every crime known to the law is
named in the list of crimes COM
mitted by these Apprentices"

"There were no active operations con-
nected with the work of increasing the
water supply during the month of Feb
ruary," states Major Lydecker in his

records in relation to the same. The eX-
pcnditure of $4,000 on account of con-
structing the dam Mt Great Falls was made

Secretary Of War, pursuant to the require
ments of the special deficiency act of Con-
gress approved February 1, 1888"
Preliminary steps will be undertaken

tinuing active operations on the work If

priation becomes n law.

Mr.. A. p. Webb has sold his Baltimore

AS soon as the spring opens Messrs.
Bond and Webb the owners will COM

large structure will be used in erecting q
number of dwelling houses.
The commissioners of Laurel have con-

nish the stone to repair Main street, near
the depot They have determined in the
future to use nothing but stone in repair
ing the town streets.
1t is cheaper TO live in Laurel and pay
railroad fare to and from either city at
