The Battle Just Be gun.

This is the vigorous way in which Sen
ator VOORHEES, puts it in discussing the
subject of the tariff: -
"There is no middle ground now on
this question. Once the issue was q tariff
for revenue for incidental protection :;
now the issue presented by the Republi-
can party is protection for monopolies,
trusts and combines, whether revenue is
needed or not. We have an enormous
surplus of revenue, taken from your pock
cts and now in the treasury. But there
never can be surplus of protection in
the -estimation- of lle -Carnezias and his
1ind. Some say the battle on The tariff
was lost by the Democratic party in the
last campaign. On the contrary, the bat
tie has just begun. and will pe fought out
until the right shall prevaii or until We
know the worst But do not doubt the
decision of the people. The natural rights
of man are involed in this contest and
the spirit of oppression will at last DE
crushed, the hand OF the lsgslized robber
will be paralyzed, iniquisous legislation
will be wiped out and the America. peo-
pie will stand forth enancipa'ed from
the bondage of their present cruel, grasp
ing and odious taskmasters. The cause
of justice expects every man to do his
duty"

White Men Must Rule

The Mississippi democratic State exc
cutive committee has promulgated an
address to the voters of the State urging
the active work in behalf of the democra-
cy. The address denouuces the republi-
can party for its abuse of the civil-srrvice
law and inciting race prejudice. 1t alleges
that the republican rule ia the State was
fraught with ruin and desolation. The
address declares that the whies must
rule, and uses the following language =
ave must show the world that that race
created to govern, and that has govern
ed all other races where thrown 10 con-
tact, will in Mississippi stand by the
common civilization of the union which
that race has constructed ana maintained,
and that it will never consent to be ruled
by any other race as q race manipulated
by renegsdes. The flag of a Caucasian
civilization must flow triumphastly at
the South and in every other section of
this proud land and throughout Christen-

Mr.. Harrison, though once merely the
nominee of the republican party. is now
the President of the United States 1t is
therefore with regret that the people are
confronted with an apparent combina-
tion in bis own political following against
him. The great anti-Harrison ball was
started a. rolling in Washington; it has
reached Baltimore. Is it going to travel
the road of the great ball that came from
the West in Inauguration times Within
three days three conventions have been
held by republicans, assailing the powers
that be, sssailing civil service reform, and
openly proclaiming the doctrine that to
victors belong the spoils. The colored
republicans of the capitalize home of
the president, were the first to initiate the
horse-leech's daughter and cry "Give,
givew Next followed the republican
State organizations, led by that of Penn
sylvania, the stronghold of the omnipre-
seat and omnipotent Quay, and almost
the Federation of the
Republican Clubs of the third congress
sionsl district of Maryland joined in the
hue and cry. Do they want the whole
earth? Do they want Mr.. Clarkson to sit
up all night and every night signing dis
Insatiate clubs, will not fifteen
thousand decapitated pestmasters suffice
The democrats, far and near, are naturally
indulging in mutual congratulations over
the situation.-iSun.

There are quite large nunber OF re-
publicans in Maryland who are anxiously
waiting the arrival of the steamer that
will bring Representative McComas home
from his European tou:. Before going
abroad Mr. McComas secured an assurance
from the administration that no appoint
ments of any conseq uence would be made
in Maryland during his absence. Some
OF the local State leaders were very indig
nant at what they termed the assumption
of authority on the part of Mr.. McComas
and several attempts were made to break
the compact that was registered at the
various departments. 10 several instances

What The Alliance Is Doing.

The Farmers Alliance is beginning to
create sensation in the country, and is
rapidly becoming social, if not a politi-
cal, factor Of no mean pretensions. At
Springfield recently the Wheel and the
Farmers Alliance of Missourimet in joint
convention and voted that the two bodies
should be consolidated with other farm
ers' associations, to form gigantic COM
bination to be known as the Farmers and
Laborers' Union of America. In Mont
gpmery, Alabama, during the same week,
there was great agricultural congress
with delegates from Virginis, the Caro-
linas, Tennessee, Alabama, Florida, Ar
kansas. Louisiana and Texas. AT the
same time the farmers of Georgia were in
convention at Macon, and passed resolu-
tions denunciatory of trusts. There is q
disposition manifested to unite these vast
organizations in the South and West, and
a joint convention will be held at st.
Louis next December, which will repre-
sent Membership of more than 1000, ,OO0
When the Farmers Alliance of the North
west and the Farmers Benefit Association
come in, this body, it is said, will repre-
sent combination of 5000, 900 farmers.
To show that they mean business the
Georgia Farmers Alliance passed reso-
luton calling upon the alliances of all
cotton States to ask 124 cents pound for
cotton, and Col. Pope OF Raleigh, Presi-
dent of tht Southern Inter-Sta Farmers
Association declared that "the organiza-
ton covering the entire cotton States can
and will have the control of the great
commercial crop of the world" This
looks as if something practical can and
will be done by the farmers ia the South,
and in the same way can the tobacco
growers, of Maryland get relief, and, we
believe, that they will have it in due
time.-Er.

Farmers and horseman in Kent county
are much puzzled and worried over the
appearance of fatal disease among horses
Three cases OF death in close succession
are reported. The closest investigation,
so far, has failed to give any satisfactory
solution to the trouble, and the only
hypothesis is that. from some unaccounta.
BILE cause, the horses affected have died
from disease. The animals, while appar-
emily well, drop, and in some cases die
almost ins antly. The appetite of the
animals is good up to the last moment,
and in some cases they have died with
food in their mouths. In three cases the
horses have been apparently well up to
the moment Of death, eating heartily and
showing no signs of sickness. Whether
or not the disease is contas eous it is i'm
possible to say, as all investigation has
failed to furnish any satisfactory knowl-
edge OF the nature OF the trouble. So far
as known, no further development of the
trouble has shown Itself.

Some Light For Mr.. CAN'T.

The irrepressible Mr.. f. CAN'T over
in Calvert seems to read the TIMES at {.
tentively of late, and if he will con-
tinue to do so with the same assiduity
We will promise to throw some glim-
mer oflight into the dense gloom of ig-
norance which seems to overshadow
his very demonstrative mind.
First, We would like to say to him,
soto cocc, that, by an express provi-
sion of the Constitution of Maryland,
no member of the Legislature is eligi-
BILE to an office created during his term
of service; and this principle is very
we'll known to everybody who pretends
to take part in public affairs. except
ing few very ignorant aud equally
arrogant people like Mr.. F. CAN'T.
Second. There is not now and never
was any law or section of law in Mary
land making the receipts of the State
tobacco warehouses the only fund out
of which their expenses can be paid.
There is provision of law making
the receipts of each warehouse the
primary fund out of which its ex-
penses, exclusive of Inspectors salary,
are to be paid; but the inspectors sala-
ries, amounting to $4,000 per annum,
are payable primarily out Of the State
treasury. while any claim for service
rendered or material furnished at any
State warehouse, to the payment of
which it's receipts are not adequate, is
always promptly paid by the State
government by special appropriation.
By one of the fundamental principles
of law the State is legally responsible
for any expense incurred by her au-
thority. This principle, too, is we'll
known to everybody Of sufficient in
formation to occupy seat in the
Legislature.
Third. 1t is not true that the knights
of labor opposed the immigration bill.
Their representatives we're instructed
to oppose the measure, if it was aimed
at the importation of laborers but,
becoming convinced that the bill was
not open to that objection, the repre-
sentatives who considered themselves
Instructed BY the knights of labor,
voted for the bill.

The Coming Exposition.

The Maryland State Exposition to he
held next week al Pimllco is now an as
sured success far beyond the fondest hope
of any Of its promoters. The entries of
exhibits represents every industry in the
State and every county. The manage
ment has succeeded in perfecting every
detail and in securing every amusement
offered at the start. They have establish
ed fine and suitable depot, near the cen
tres of trade and transportation, and the
farmers. the stock breeders, dairymen,
poultry fanciers and many others en-
gagged in agricu tural pursuits have re-
sponded nob'y and in large numbers with
fine exhibits, and every citizen of the
commonwealth may we'll feel proud OF
his States exhibits at Pim(ico. An ad-
ditional and attracting feature, especially
to the young men in the Counties and of
course through them the ladies, is a
Tournament to be held under the Electric
Lights Tuesday evening tenth instant
Capt. Robert Grain will deliver the charge
to the Knights, and Capt. Frank Supplee
the coronation address. A number have
already entered and it is hoped that every
county will have at least one Knight to
uphold her chivalry. The prizes otfered
the successful knights are handsome Sill
yer Teasets OF six pieces. The ladis who
are crowned Queen of Love and Beauty
and Maids of Honor will receive gold
medals as nementoes of the great event.
The ball to be given by the citizens of
Maryland to the President of the United
States is attracting considerable attention
in the counties and will be sn important
feature. Many distinguished gentlemen
are expected to be present on this occa-
sion-the 18th anniversary of the battle
of North Point and of the Christening of
The Star Spsngle Banner" while the
amusement--the civic parade and militia
ry maneuvres are interesting and to be
commended, the greatest and grandest
feature, the one tha, appeals most stroagly
aud successfully to our profession and
patriotic people OF dear old Maryland
is her agricultural exhibit. Let every one
who can possibly do SO attend the expo
sition, see tor themselves what we have
done and can do, and learn from the ex-
perience and success of others wha, ener-
gy, pluck, determination and intelligence
can accomplish. Maryland, My Maryland
will be the song of every man, woman
and child at Pimlico.

big trust company recently sent

A big trust company recently sent its
representative to Hon. Joseph H. Choste
for an opinion upon point of law in
which the company was interested. He
put the question 10 the lawyer, who was
to answer simply yes or no. Mr.. Choate
promised an answer next morning, and
next morning he was ready when the trust
man cal ed. He gave the decision in one
word, and for that one word his fee was
$4,000, which is said to be the largest
counsel fee ever paid for decision OF one
word. The lawyer who tells this is not
as we'll known as Mr.. Choate, but says
that be could have given the same advice
but that if he had put in bill for more
than ten dollars it would have been cut
down; all Of which goes to show that in
law as in some other things, reputation
is good thing for professional man to
carry along with him.
