WHAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN.

A Few Timely Remarks by a Lo-
connective Engineer--An Inventor
Complimented.
Friday nights disaster on the New
YORK Central, in which four per-
sons were killed, and thousands
of dollars worth Of property de-
stroyed, Eset a well known locomotive
engineer to thinking yesterday. He
had gone over from this city to the Min
neapolis Exposition, having put off that
duty and pleasure till the last day. His
main object in going was to see the new
invention, called the electric danger
signal, recently brought out by j. W.
Riggs, of st. Paul, and on exhibition
on the second floor of the build
ing. The model was shown him,
and all the details explained in
Thorough manner by the inventor. With
his hands folded behind him and a ex-
preston of deep, concentrated thought,
he followed the inventors words and
footsteps. Not syllable escaped him
until Mr.. Riggs had concluded. Then
he unlimbered his tongue:
dispose you read all about that New
York Central tail-end Smash-up? When
] read that this morning thought to
myself. what show is there for us fell
lows out here on new, Single-track
roads, when such thing can happen on
an old, four-track line?' And to think
what this thing might have savedI The
engineer pulling that second section
would have been warned in plenty time
to stop his train. The amount of money
that accident will cost the New York
Central would equip couple hundred
miles of track. BY George, Pm stuck
on the scheme! And if you succeed
as your enterprise and ingenuity de-
road men ever had!
''Well, must go. Hope you'll make
a million out of that thing. You ought
to, sure'S you live"
Such a hearty Endorsement from so
experienced a railroad man was of
course very gratifying to the inventor.
But this was only one Ofmany similar in
cidents which occurred during the Ex-
position, andwhIch gave great encourage
ment to the Riggs Electric Signal COM
pany. who are handling the continuance.
A majority of railroad disasters which
have occurred this year in the United
States-and the list is appalling-wOuld
have been averted had the Riggs sys-
TEN been in general use. But it is only
a question of few months now when
most OF the Western roads will be using
it, and when once its valuable features
are shown by actual service, and its
practicability demonstrated to the utter
dissipation of every lingering doubt
then, perhaps, roads like the New York
Central will adopt it.

themselves into an improvement assO-

IN ART CIRCLES.


1.-THE Power of the Church, is the
title of painting which has during the
past week been attracting a good deal
of attention to Third street store win
dow. The same work was on exhibition
at the State Fair, yet did not at that
time attract One-third of the attention
nor excite nearly the amount of admir-
alton accorded it at present. The sub
ject is all old man, who sits with
bowed head and detected air, having
received a reprOOf from the parish
priest for some real or imaginary mis-
demeanOr. Critics have said that the
picture tells its story as it is, and needs
no alteration, but Mr.. Segall, the artist,
thinks otherwise. In the Segall studio
may be seen life-size painting of a
priest. He stands erect with arms
folded. and the wrath of an outraged
man upon his face, which, in vivid con-
trast to that of the aged penitent in the
previously described picture is coarse
featured and almost sensual in ex-
preston. With eyebrows contracted,
and lips pursed, he makes a picture OF
auSterity, which is seen more fOrcibly
by contrast with the one of deep humil-
iation afforded by the painting OF the
penitent, when the two works are side
by side. The intention of the artist is
to paint a large canvas In which the
two pictures will be embodied. He has
already begun work on it, and it is
quite safe to predict that when the
work is completed it will attract wider
attention than any painting ever turned
out from Minnesota studio.
The MCGOWAN studio, not an over
luxurious one, by the way, for the
young landscape painter Is like unto
young bear-with all his troubles to
come-has, nevertheless, added another
to the list of clever landscapes and sea
pieces turned out in the last few months
from its recesses. The latest canvas
represents and is named "a Stretch OF
Prairie" At first impressions the sub
ject seems to be tame one. There
doesn't seem much material for an eX-
pressive picture in stretch OF level
prairie, but the mode of treatment In
this instance has made the scene so re-
alistic that one is attracted to it by its
very truth to nature. In the foreground
are tufts of coarse bunch grass, with
the tints of autumn upon them. In the
distance herd of cattle are grazing.
and a little closer in the foreground
the herder sits on his pony in just such
lazy attitude as herderS are wont to
assume.
A st. Paul lady who is making bid
for popularity, as a Water-color artist,
with every prospect Of success, Is Mrs.
Ellen Marion, one of whose pictures,
"On a Barren Shore" very clever
piece of work, attracted more than a
little notice at the state fair. The piece
shows a bit of rocky coast dashed by
heavy sea. At the base of frownlng
cliff sits a presumably shipwrecked
mariner, who philOsOphically smokes
his short clay and awaits developments.
The execution is good. and though the
exact meaning of the piece is not appar-
ent on its surface, the expression on the
face of the stranded one makes the on
locker wish for an exclamation.

II is fair presumption that the man
who manages his own business economi-
cally and successfully will if elected to
public office, manage the public business
with equal care and judgement. This
is just the case with our present Board
of County Commissioners. Now our
contemporary OF the Cecil Democrat
rather pointedly and somewhat def
antly asks: "What has the present
Board done that constitutes claim for
reelection ?" We have already an
swered that question in part, by show
mig that they have saved for the tax
payers of the county in one year, out
of several accounts, handsome surplus
of 11,6eI.25, which, but for several
damage cases incurred under their Dem
ocratic predecessors they could have
increased to S13,6I9.o6.

Isn't it something in these latter days
of loose political creeds, for these pub
lie officers to cut down, and save out OF
a S. 900 90 levy for their own per diems
and for the incidental costs of their
Board the peat little sum of SI,722II
in one year?
By the way as comparisons are sea-
sonable, and we are upon the subject
of the cost of our Levy Court annually
to our tax payers, let US take passing
peep at their relative cost for a period

An Error Corrected.

The Cecil County Agricultural So
ciety having decided not to give up
pool selling On the race grounds at the
Fair next week the w. G. T. U. has
gwen up the dining room privilege pur
chased some time ago. The influence
of the ladies OF the w. c. T. U. will
therefore be against the Fair.-Otfoyd
Press.
The above extract from our cotem-
porary contains three statements which
are false and misleading, and should be
corrected in the interest of our local
society. In the first place the "Cecil
County Agricultural Society has not de-
cided that pools will be sold, it still be-
ing an open question and contingent
upon realizing a certain sum of money
from the sale of the privilege. We are
sorry that this is SO, and regret that the
question of selling pools has ever been
entertained by its managers.
In the second place the w. e. T. U.
has not given up the dining room priv
ilege-purchased some time ago-for
the Fair to be held next week, but on
the contrary specially requests the pa
tronage of the public at their dining
room, as will be seen by their advertise
ment in our local columns in this issue
OF The WING.
In the third place the influence of
the ladies of the w. c. T. U. will not be
against the Fair. as they solicit contri-
buttons from all sources friendly to
their cause-outside of any or all moral
questions involved in pool selling at
county Fairs-and therefore the greater
the attendance at the FAIR next week
the larger the realizations will be for
the laudable objects of the w. CT. U.
AS the unqualified statement of the
Press is calculated to injure the fair,
we take pleasure in correcting it, by
simply stating the facts of the case.

Besides the election of United
States Senator, the Legislature to be
chosen next month will have important
questions pertaining to the business and
property interests of our people to con-
slider, and legislate upon, some of which
are outlined in the platform Of the Re
publican Party just enunciated at West
minister.
Why should Cecil not be represented

We nave no disposition to institute
invidious comparisons of candidates,
but simply to urge upon Republicans
by fair statement and honorable decla-
ration, the possibilities In this direction
of the present campaign. We have at
the head of our Legislative ticket in the
person of Mr.. John R. Bond a gentle
man in personal integrity, in business
experience, in intellectual force and in
scholarly requirement, the peer of any
man in the county, who although not
by profession lawyer, has by wide
and liberal course of reading equipped
himself as fully possibly as the average,

Run your eye up and down the short
column above, and note that the first
three years were years in which the Re-
publicans were in power in Cecil and
notice when the Democrats came into
power how the figures grew year by
year until they reached the climax in
1886 and 1887.
But the editor of the Democrat bowls
into the ears of Democratic taxpayers
"vote for your party" when as an IN
telligent man he knows, that no princi
pie is involved in purely local question
as to who shall best administer the bus
mess affairs OF our people, and that the
good sense, judgment and business ex-
perience required in those that fill pub
lie positions of this character, are faI
more important considerations for the
people to look at, than the political
opinions that men hold.

ALL FOUR REPUBLICAN.
The Four New States go for the Grand Old
Party.
North Dakota.

ST. PAUL, Mimi, Oct. 2.-In the Da-
kota elections it was evident last night
that both the North and South States
had given decisive majority for the Re-
publican tickets. The returns received
to day simply make more certain what
then appeared to be the case, and give a
better idea as to the size of the majori-
ties.
For Governor, John Miller, the Repub-
lican candidate, received 5000 more votes
than w. N. Roache, the Democratic
nominee. All returns yet received indi-
cate that the vote for Congressman drew
out at least 1000 more votes, making the
majority for H. G, Hinsborough for Con-
gress 1000 or more.
There has not been any doubt to day
as to the complexion of the Legislature,
the only point to be settled being the
proportion of the parties. Returns suffi-
Gent to indicate the result have been re-
ceived from 20 of the 81 Legislative dis
tricts in the State. There are 20 Repub-
licau, five Democratic and one Indepen-
dent Republican Senators, and AZ Repub-
lican and 10 Democratic Representatives.

The Republicans Of MARYLAND ha,

The Republicans of Maryland have
made very excellent nomination for
the Comptrollership in the person of
Mr.. George l. Wellington, of Cumber-
land, whom they selected in their State
Convention which assembled at West
minister on Tuesday. A gentleman of
character and standing, whose business
education and training have been had
IN monetary institutions OF his native
city, he is particularly we'll equipped for
the pc ltion for which he has been
nominated. But besides good candi-
date for the Comptrollership, the con-
ventlon has given US most excellent
platform or declaration of principles
upon which to join issue with the Dem
ocrats in November. 1t pledges the
Republican vote of Maryland In favor
of that most excellent measure which
the Democrats rejected in their Legisla-
ture-the Pearce Registration Bill-as
we'll as declares for the adoption In
Maryland OF the Australian ballot sys-
tenn. For the purposes OF equitable and
just taxation, 1t demands a re-assess
ment OF all property throughout the
State, re-asserts the civil and political
rights of our colored citizens, favors the
restriction and regulation of the liquor
traffic in the State, demands the main
tenance of the Chesapeake and Ohio
Canal as waterway from the coal fields
of the State to tide-water, and pledges
the Republican party "to enact such
laws as will foster and protect the oys-
ter interests of the State"
