| The true policy for any party is to keep

anCe keep the organization together and in
strong hands so that when the inevitable day

What has made "Mahoncisrm'' the easiest
thing in the world to have in Maryland ~
The very evil that Mahone is guilty of-un-
relentiug INSCRIPTIONS bOssi,m of the worst
and lowest elements of the party over the
best and most reputable.
Who has not noticed that the democratic
majority in the State under Mr.. Gormans
arbitrary selfish and prOscripivc manage
mcnt has been steadily diminishing for years?
If there is anyone so blind he is not re
publican. The fact that the democratic party
is on the road to ruin under current auspices
is the rock on which the republican party is
building its hope of triumph this fall
But how is the probability of such catas-
trophe to be averted
The SIM answers-"by spirit of conciia-
ton and forbearance keep the organization
together and in strong hands"
But who is to do the "conciiating2" The
Organization ~ Are the disatfected demo
crats of Allegany county to be appeased by
reegating the machine boss to his normal
right to cast only his own vote? Are those
of No. II to he placated by dethroniug their
democratic autoCrat?
No, no, for that would, as heretofore cor.
respondingly put out the strong hands" and
let the weak in, which would never do at ALL
especially, as usual, at this time, according to
the SIM
"No, no. say the boss, sub-bosses and the
sub-subs, its dangerous to swap hosses when
crossing stream, besides, d-n 'em, they
don't amount to nothing nohown ~
And who is to do the "forbearing?"
The SIM doubtless means those who have
always done it-without thanks or hope of
thanks-done it until at last they are serious
ly meditating break for liberty by leaving
the machine to do its own voting
Already in thus county it is almost certain
that DR.. A. b. Price of this place, is Slated"
for the State Senate, and Fuller Barnard, of
Cumberland, for sheriff. These are very good
men, but their nomination in advance of for
mai consultation with the people could be
done only under system which makes the
sub-boss' dict'o" equ5 5salent to "oh Pop"'.
If all this is not "Mahoneism'-well

THE dock laborers i'll London have succeed
ed in their strike. In this result we have an
example of what peaceful, lawa abiding
methods will accomplish. Had the strikers,
frenzied by hunger and other privatiOns, re-
sorted to riot they might have been struggling
still, As it was, their COOL sensible behavior
won for them the sympathy of the leading
men ofliberal mind in London. The lord
mayor, Cardinal Manning and other dig
nitarics of influence became the advocates of
the poor, underpad workmen and helped to
conduct their negotiations with the dock COM

In corroboration Of the above a subsequent
cable dispatch states that "the recorder, in
charging the grand jury. referred to the
strike continuing he Sald
That though great number of men had
been out of work for weeks and had suffered
great prlVatiOnS, there was not a single case
on the calendar arising from the strike. The
peaceful behavior Of the men was a subject
for national pride.
So il is.
And it is il wonderfully strange trans-At-
lantc example for our bumptious master
workmcn and walking delegates to have i'm
ported into the domain of the Noble Order of
North America.
We have been so much accustomed to
socialistic, anarchistic and pugiistic sent-
mentS and performances coming in from
Europe duty free, that it is IL genuine relief
to learn SO decisively That the dock laborers
in London know SO much better how to con-
duct great revolt against low wages than do
the swelhea,lS of our own and only Noble
Order-the eloquent walking delegate ard

THE proprietors Of the great hustle factory

No lady with good manners and strict

The star should not rcbuke the buStle-mak-

reflect upon the good manners, etc, of the
ladies of Frostburg, who, if they follow the
fashion afar as usual, will be wearing the

THERE is notion cNtant that the bed of
Broadway would he made too high by the
limestone we want put OH it.
Whoever thinks that way does not under
stand the rudimentS of road building.
Broadway and all streets should be high
and slightly round and with the means at
command there is no reason in the world
why Broadway should not bc as good a thor
oughfare as is the National pike between AL
legany grove and Cumberland
The fact is, our street authorities should go
to the county roads, bad as some of them are
for lessons in street culture.
