TIE YOUNG MEN WHO SUCCEED.

Some young men begin business
without friends, reputation or money,
and application and industry guided
by common sense, make a success,
because they have II natural aptitude
for their pursuit. Others work as
hard, are equally honest and econom-
ical but fail, because they have no
natural talent for the business they
are in. Sometimes a man fails often
until he almost despairs of triumph
in any direction, but at last strikes
oil aud makes money. Then there
is a class of good for nothings, who
seem to fasten on society like a leech
and sucks its blood through life with
out any adequate return. Now our
young friend, Mr.. II. G. Orman be-
longs to the first class, and it is only
a question of time and health when
he will have accumulated enough to
make his old age easy, if not rich.
He knows how and when to work,
and Is not ash ,med to be caught at
it; he knows how to econcmize with.
out being n~iggardIy he knows how
to be moral and upright without
sneering AT or r%idiculing those who
do not follow his methods. Young
men, life is a constant battle ground,
and If you will arm yourself with
truth, honor, rectitude and industry,
you will close your career with the
good Will Of all who know you.

long contest extending far into the ses
sion and beyond the time prescribed by
the United States statutes tor the cleo
ton of a senator. The election must
be held on the second Tuesday after
the organization OF the legislature. II
by improper haste a measure repeating
the law could be forced through both
houses before that time, Governor Jack
son, an Eastern Shoreman, would inev-
itably veto it. A two-thirds vote in
both houses would be needed to pass
the bill over his head, and it must be
evident that this could not be secured
so long as the counties on the Eastern
Shore have their proper representation.
No good can be accomplished by
| the agitation of the matter at this time,
and incalculable injury may be done by
unnecessarily arraying the sections
against each other. Nor can the law
as it stands work evil to the States in
terests. What is needed more than the
repeal of the Eastern Shore law is the
exercise of judgment and due con.
sideration for the rights of the people
and the material interests of the state
in choosing a Senator. Let the legisla
ture for once elect the right kind of {
man, and the public will not quarre
because he comes from the Eastern
| Shore.

Now that it seems to be definitely
settled that President Cleveland after
the fourth of March will make New
York City his permanent home, one of
his enthusiastic supporters at Washing
ton writes that his friends expect him
to be winning candidate tor the Dem
ocratlc nomination for the Presidency
in 1893, believing that he will more
nearly represent the Democratic policy,
and that he will better harmonic the
various antagonistic forces within the
party, than any other man who can be
named. This prophecy rests, however,
upon the suppositlon that the position
of the Democracy upon the tariff will,
in the next Presidential contest, con-
form to that of the President, a sup
position which seems baseless, in the
light of the recent election, and which
would become reasonable only by an
unexpected change in the opinions of
the American people.

By all odds the simplest and
best working Meat chopper we
know of is the Philadelphia.
-Four pieces only. A child can
take it apart, clean it, and put
it together again in a few
seconds.
The common meat cutter is
a ,ev7nder. The meat is rolled
and jammed and crowded to
get through the machine until
the juice drips. Every house
keeper knows how the flavor
and keeping qualities Of meat
are hurt by making it into a
mushy mass.
The Philadelphia Meat Chop
per doesn't grind, 1frnS. Meat
that passes through it is chop
ped into bits as a sharp pair of
scissors would snip strips of
paper. The cutting is by scis-
sors action. There is no
squeezing and heating Of the
meat as by other methods. At
the first push whatever is to be
cut is brought plump against
the cutters. A gristle or a
stringy piece or a fiber of any
kind cannot pass through I'M
cut.

The Murder of John Nj. Clayton.

The Murder of John NJ. Clayton.
Our readers will find elsewhere a
deeply interesting communication from
the brothers of the late Jno. M. Clayton
who was recently brutally murdered in
Arkansas, because being Republican
he dared to display the courage of his
political convictions, by contestlng an
election, which he conscientiously be-
lieved he had won. The story of his
assassination must excite the indigna
ton of every reader of 1t, whatever his
political creed or party association. Its
details show, that the Cowardly deed
done at PlummervilIe, was as wanton
and dastardly a crime as any that ever
disgraced Mississippi. The same spirit
of intolerance to a political opponent,
with that comptemptuous disregard OF
the restraints and obligations on which
civilized society rests, and which pre-
vail too generally in the South, charac-
terize this political murder. Jonn M.
Clayton has fallen martyr to his political
opinions because he had the bravery to
attempt to expose the political frauds
by which he was being cheated out OF
the fruits of an election which he be-
lieved he had honestly won.
This case challenges the attention of
the whole country, and it remains to be
seen whether the state authorities OF
Arkansas will make an honest endeavor
to bring to justice the perpetrators OF
this most diabolical act. Besides being
the bearer of an illustrious name, John
NJ. Clayton was an honored and con-
splcuous citizen of Arkansas. He was
well known throughout the West. AS
contemporary we'll says of him, the
attempts which his opponents have
been making to deprive him of the
office to which he had been elected
have made his name familiar to the
whole country. As he was legally
chosen to the National Legislature, the
act which has summarily and shame
lessly set aside the will of the citizens of
his own district is crime against the
people of the whole country, as well as
cowardly and infamous blow at the
principle on which The entire scheme OF
representative government IS based.
Mr.. c. R. Breckenridge, who was Mr..
Clayton's opponent in the recent Con-
gresslonal canvass, has the reputation
of being a fair minded and honorable
man. He can IN no way so readily
and conclusively show the country that
this reputation is deserved than by re-
fusing to take the office in dispute, and
thus making a new election in the dis
trict necessary.

he may better further his presidential as
piratiuns four years hence. He gives his
ill-health as one reason why he has de

though considered by every one strong,
robust man, his health is III reality very
poor, and that he has been almost thor
Uughly exhausted by the instant straiu
OF the recent tariff debate. He adds too
that his means are not sufficient to eua.

sir. Platt, Of New York, arrived here
today, very quietly, and is comforting to
night with Republican statesmen. There
is no general belief that he will receive
the tender of the Treasury. A desp .tch
was received here today from John G.

NO.
Senator Allison had intended to issue
an authorized st .temenJ To the public
today, formally declining Mr.. Harrison y
OFF, of Treasury POI t:olio. He has re

The Eastern Shore Law.

The impression prevails to consid-
cradle extent that the selection of
United States Senators in this State,
alternately from the Eastern and West
ern Shores, is matter of party usage
and not positive provision of law.
The latter, however, is the case, the
act originally having been passed by
the Legislature in 1909. 1t provided
that lone of the Senators shall be al
ways an inhabitant of the Eastern
Shore, and the other of the Western
Shore" The law stands precisely today
as when passed, although it has been re-
pealed and re-enacted once at least to
our knowledge to crafty the ambitions
and carry out the schemes of promi-
nent Maryland Democrats. When
Thomas Swami was Governor of Mary
land he succeeded in having the Legis.
lature repeal the law to allow his cleo
ton to the U. S. Senate. But the Sen
ate wouldn't admit Thomas and Philip
Francis Thomas was in turn elected.
This Thomas was equally unsuccessful
with the first, and so at last Mr.. Wick
ers, of Chestertown, unexpectedly won
the coveted honor.
The Baltimore american Is author
ity for the statement that another re-
peal of the law will be attempted by
the next Legislature. As this Legisla-
ture will elect successor 10 Ephriam
K Wilson, whose term expires on the
sd of March, 1891, the question is one
of some importance. Of course, as The
american says, the Eastern Shoremen
will fight with all the weapons at their
command to preserve privilege which
they have enjoyed almost uninterrept-
eddy since Maryland became a sover-
eign state and which was originally
granted as concession to the Western
Shore against the preponderance of
of wealth and influence on the other
side OF the bay. Such fight means a

The laws Of Delaware punish woman
at the whipping post and rlllory for the
crimes of arson, horse stealing, burglary,
perjury, subornation of perjury and
breaking into house to commit crimes
not capital. A woman was whipped in
1871 for larceny, and theprotest against
the action was SO strong that the Legis
lature at its next session passed an act
declaring that women should not be
whipped for the crime of larceny. The
penalty for the other crimes still exists,
and Representative Lodge on Monday
last introduced an act In the House Of
Representatives to remove these penal
ties. The sentiment of the members is
strongly against the whipping post, and
there is no doubt of the speedy passage
of this bill.

A Favorable Exhibit.

We have frequently called attention
through the columns of The WING, to
the gratifying growth of Elkton iu re-
cent years particularly in the increase
of buildings of different classes, the
most of them comfortable homes and
in a number of instances beautiful resi-
dences. Upon general principles 1t is
fair to assume, that the increase in the
number, and the Improvement in the
character OF the buildings residential
and otherwise in town, indicate a
growth of its business and trade, unless
1t be suburban one, and as such, hav-
ing no local trade or business of Its
own.
Undoubtedly the close proximity of
Elkton to several populous cities, and
its superior Railroad facilities, as in the
case of other towns similarly situated,
retard its growth to some extent, and
draw away considerable of its local
trade. Nor are its productive indus
tries as numerous as the advantages OF
its location warrant. 1t needs more
population to create a demand for the
necessities and commodities of life, to
multiply business occupations and in
crease its general activity. 1t needs
mills and factories to give employment
to mechanics, and to create demand
for the artizan and laborer. These are
palpably needed conditions for its more
rapid growth and improvement.
But although like other towns largely
dependent upon their agricultural re-
sources, the growth of Elkton has in
years past been slow and tedious, yet it
has enjoyed in the main a substantial
prosperity, and it is for the purpose of
calling attention to one unmistakable
evidence of this prosperity that we now
revert to this subject.
Among the available evidences of
the financial and business condition of
any community, we regard the aggregate
amount of deposits carried in its local
banks, and subject to individual check,
as one of the mos, reliable.
Now Elkton has one National bank,
and as required by law it makes stated
reports to the Comptroller of the Ma
tional Treasury. One essential item in
these reports which we have taken from
our own columns for the dates stated,
is the amount of "Individual Deposits
subject to Check" This line of de-
posts at our National bank has been
frequently in our hearing favorably
commented on by business men of
other towns, as indicating an unusual
amount of circulating capital in town
the size of Elkton and with so few pro.
ductive industries. We have taken the |
pains to examine these reports for a
series of years past, and if they are not

1t is now authoritatively stated that
Senator Allison has certainly declined

him to remain in the Senate. After
careful dehberatioR he wrote Gen. Har

being, IN the language of his deputy,
engaged III the more Important business
of collecting taxes Nor had any citizen
of the town made the slightest effort to
trace or appreheud his murderers.
The foregoing facts, which we stand to
substantiate n each essential particular,
every one of which we believe to be a
maIerial link i'll the chain of cIrcum
stances surrounding and leading To the
inhuman murder OF our brother, John NJ.
