But there is nothing strange in this. nor in
the strained relations said to exist between the
president and the other instrument who made
Harrson's election pOssible"-the redoubtable
Matthew Quay. Men who have risen to power
b. questionable means have ever been prone to
kick away the ladder by which they climbed.
In the old times kings got rid of their super
serviceable tools by having them beheaded In
latter times they ignore and make scapegoats
of them. Dorsey was baDqueted and praised
for saving Indiana by the use of soap and
tracts in the notorious corrupt campaign of

the chivalrous Arthur, had no use for Dorsey

Dudley the cold shoulder and shake Quay, but

TLoui,Eille Post.l

It may be possible that Col. Dudley has told
the truth and that the first version of his letter
Is forgery. 1t is Immaterial whether he calls
Harrison a coward in a private letter or
whether he doesn't. He thinks of him ss a
coward Just the same, and he doesn't hesitate
TO dub him as an migrate when talking to his
intimate friends And Col. Dudley is right,
too. No one cOnYersant with the features of
the last campaign can fail to recognize the debt
of gratitude which Benjamin Harrison and the
republican party owe to Col. Dudley. Ii was
through the votes OF Indiana and New York
that Mr.. Harrison WIS elected president and
these two states went republican chiefly be-
cause OF the votes that were bought. In all Of
this business Dudley acted as purchasing
agent. He distributed the Doodle TO his agents
and he instructed them how to go about buying
the votes. He dragged his name into the mire
of corruption and practically made criminal
of himself in order that he might pull Ben
Harrison into the white house.
Under this state of the case is il any wonder
that Col. Dudley feels keenly the ingratitude
of the man he debaSed himself to eect2 He
would not be human If he felt otherwise. The
scornful snObbish airs of the Pharisee in the
white house must be particularly offensive 10
the man who earned the contempt OF the whole
country to elect him 10 his Office. Whether Dud-
ley declared the president was a coward" or
whether he did not, he believes him 10 be one,
aud great many people who do not admire
Dudley join in the belief.

Dudley is no more responsible, perhaps, for
the frauds in Indiana than Quay or GARRISON,
who co-operated with him in carrying them
out, but he alone was detected. He exposed
himself and the frauds in letter over his own
signature; and though the frauds were con-
summated; though through them Indiana was
carried for Harrison, he as president, would be
guilty of the grOssest indecency in rewsrding
man who not only gave him his seat by fraud,
but did it in such wsy as TO put the stigma OF
fraud upon 1t.
In word. Dudley was caught. So also was
Blaine, whom Harrison at once Iaade secretary
of state but he could no more avoid doing this
than be could avoid appointing Window, Wanna
maker Proctor and Clarkson. 1t was neces-
sary, however, 10 draw the line somewhere, and
the inference from Dudleys latest letter that
he has drawn il at Dudley is extremely gratity-
ing to that by no means inconsiderable class
of people who believe that the president of the
United States should have a sense OF decency.

The current explanation OF the presidents
conduct is that he is an honest man, and as
SUCH cannot condoue the methods" OF his
late lieutenant. This is well enough and is
highly creditabe TO the presidents rectitude.
but why should he repudiate Dudley alone?
The Dudley methods were not confined 10
Dudley's practice, by any means He only
carried out the plan OF the republican national
committee. He was selected as the agent of
that committee because She was Dudley and
because they knew his methods and approved
and accepted them and he was only one of
many such agents. lie was neither more nor
less guilty of corrupt election practices last
year than were scores Of other eminent repub
licans who could be named, some of whom are
in high favor with the president, and not a
few of whom hold high places in his admins
tration.
The men, for instance, who fried the "fat"
out of the manufacturers and applied il TO the
wheels of the republican machine have not
been repudiated.

This epistle is fun Of suggestiveness. BY
Col. Dudey's own confession the president has
repudiated him. Is this TO be accepted as a
reputation of his methods and as authenticat-
ing the celebrated campaign letter?
The same confidential communication assures
the waiting Samuel that two months hence
more liberal Otice-giving spirit will pervade
the white house and the departments. Does
this mean that the presidents conservative
policy is to be overthrown, and that he is to
yield such independence and individuality as
he has shown?
One of the distinguishing features of Ameri-
can politics is that whether it be ''the boys"
the ward politicians, the boodlers, or any other
group higher up in the catalogue, who 90

the burden of all the sins is placed This dis

Dudley, and no one can measure the extent OF
his vicarious suffering. 1t is pleasant, however,
to see a man under such circumstances as those
surrounding the colonel, still hopeful for him
self and friends: for he tells his Dear old
Sam" that the statute of limitation imposed by
virtue, prudence and policy will run out in two
months. There will be just as good chances

The interesting information given in our
news columns about the relations OF the presi-
dent with our old friend Col Dudley, sometime
commissioner Of pensions, and author OF the
tactics for fioaters, in which the unit of form
alton is a block Of five, suggests that the col
onel had some ground for mis- libel suits. In
that form of an action for libel which is known
to books as per quOd smisit, ne would have
a tangible grievance against everybody who
printed his celebrated letter If only he had
written il. For that the publication has in
hicted loss and damage upon him no man can
question who takes note vi his bitter cry
TO dear old SAM either in the yer
sion which he diselaims or in that
which he furnishes 1t would be quite
absurd to suppose that he has lost influence
with this administration because he organized
a scheme for bribing corrupt voters. What
else was Quay doing throughout the campaign,
and for what other service was he allowed to
name a cabinet officer in the person of liberal
patriot who collected money for this purpose?
Quay, however, was wise and fortunate enough
10 rid himself of all compromising letters and
accounts in the famous cOniiagratiOn OF his pa
pers with which he concluded the campaign.
Ii is the peculiar misfortune of Dudley that he
has violated the eleventh commandment and
been found out
Ii is for this that as he pathetically puts it,
he does not take dinner at the white house. .
II is to be remarked, however, that gentlemen
who do dirty work IN politics are very APT 10
be disowned by their beneficiaries.
Still, it is very interesting, though also rather
pulling, to consider the principle of discrimi-
nation involved in the withdrawal OF favor
from Dudley. The French duelist who fought
his tailor and declined to fight his cook. re-
marked that one must draw the line somewhere,
and that he drew it at cooks. Among the APP
pointments already announced are those OF
some of the most disreputable politi eisns in the
United States. The exclusion of Dudley can
certainly not be described rs straining at a gnat
but it is plain that camels as large and un-
wieldly and double-humped as himself have
been swallowed by the president without any
visible qualms Thanks to the judicial prompt.
ness and versatility of Judge Woods, Dudley
has not even been indicted, but has left court
without stain on his character, and holds his
head as high as ever in the vestry meetings
which he adOrns. IL would be enlightening,
and might be useful TO other office-seekers, If
the president would publish brief statement
of the principles by which he is guided in draw
ing the line at Dudley.

LIMESTONE AND CEMENT.

This locality is what is known as a
'1imestone country" the main rock
formation being of that variety.
Within few miles of the town are a
number Of very valuable limestone
quarries, from some of which the
stone is shipped unburnt, and from
others manufactured into very supe-
rior article of lime and sent by rail to
various sections. There are doubtless
many favorable openings yet to be
made and paying quarries developed.
There are also valuable beds of hy-
draulic cement rock near Shepherds
town. The Potomac Cement Mill, a
mile below town, has for years manu-
factured large quantities of excellent
cement, nearly all of which is used in
government work at Washington.
The Antietam Cement Company, re-
Gently formed, has erected within the
past year large steam mill, on the
MARYLAND side of the river, which is
now also engaged in manufacturing
and exporting a superior article of
cement. A dam across the river fur
nishes magnificent water power for the
Potomac Mill.

HUNTING AND FISHING

The Potomac river is filed with
fish Of various kinds, chief among
them being the ganey black bass,
who is king of the waters and Of the
table. At no point along the river is
the fishing better than that part OF it
that ranges from three miles above
to two miles below Shepherdstown.
There are all sorts of fishing grounds. "
About three miles above town the
river is filed with boulders and led
ges of rocks where the bass jump at
the fly at almost any season. Then
comes deep water, for trolling or still
fishing. A mile below town Is dam
across the river, and from that place
for two miles down are RIFLES
and shadows and deep holes where
the five-pounders lnrk or sport among
the rocks. Many persons from the
cities annually enjoy the pleasures OF
the piscatorial sport, and are gen
orally repaid with fine catches. There
is no more pleasant sport for sum
mer camp than along these river
banks. Shady spots, where cool,
refreshing waters gush from the
earth, are to be found every few hun
dred yards, and health and rest and
pleasure can be combined by this
means.
The hunting in this locality is con-
fined TO small game-partridges,
squirrels, rabbits, &C., but larger
game can be found in the mountains
near by.
