About 10000 applicants have al
ready been received at the Pension
Office, under the Dependent Pension
act, which was passed last month.
Many of these applications are informal
in character, the applicants in mary
instances merely forwarding a letter,
applying for pension. Special blanks
have been prepared by the Pension
Office for this class Of pensioners, which
may be obtained upon application to
the Commissioner. The fact that the
law provides that the pension shall
begin from the date of application has
induced applicants to forward letters
stating their claims, expecting thereby
to obtain early recognition. The Pen
SION Office is disposed to be very lib
eral with this class of applicants, but
there are certain forms which must be
complied with, and persons who are
entitled under the law should lose no
time in obtaining the proper blanks.
Until Congress makes an appropriation
for clerk hire and other necessary ex-
penses, the work OF classifying and
arranging these new cases will be very
slow. The only question to be decided
by the Department is one OF fact as to
whether the claimants are entitled, and
whether they are dependent upon their
labor for livelihood, SO that when a
start is made the adjudication of claims
will progress rapidly.

A paper like THE CZECH. WING, whic

A paper like THE CECIL WIG, which
supports party that keeps as its eff
cial head one Matt. Quay, self-con-
fessed thief and embezzler of the Archer
stamp, and, instead of sending him to
the penItentiarY, sends him TO the
United States Senate, and permits him
to stamp the impress of his infamy upon
the whole Republican party Of the ma
ton, ought to 90 slow on the Archer
business.-Cecil County Meas.
We were not aware that Senator
Quay's official acts while treasurer of
Pennsylvania were an issue in Maryland.
The people of Pennsylvania, we take it,
are amply provided with law to reach
Mr.. Quay if he has been guilty of any
offense against Ii. We do not know
that the people of Pennsylvania have
ever lost one cent by ex-S!atc Treasurer
Quay, but we do know that the people
of Maryland haYe been robbed of
100000 by the chairman OF the
Democratic State Central Committee,
and we want to know,-7ORafkhe Demo
cratic party of Maryland is going TO
do a60utH?
We know, and the people Of Mary
land likewise know, that the opportunity
to rob the treasury of Maryland Of this
large sum was afforded the chairman OF
the Democratic State Committee by the
official negligence of Governor Jackson
and Comptroller Baughman, both of
whom like Mir. Archer are prominent
members OF the Democratic State
"RIng" which dominates the Demo
cratic party of this State. We want no
better chronicler of the crimes which
this "Ring" has committed against the
political and property rights OF the
people Of Maryland, than that excellent
Democratic newspaper the Baltimore
SIN, which has lately been so out
spoken in its denunciatlon of the bos-
sism, which in recent years has dis
graced the history OF the Democratic
party in this state. This prostitution
of political office to personal uses, toll
Grated too long by too-lndulgent
public sentiment, has at last eliminated

GENERAL FREMONT.

General John G. Fremont, who died
in New York on Sunday, was distIn-
guished man in many ways he was a
scientist who achieved the highest
honors as an explorer, politician who
twice received from his countrYmen the
distinction of a Presidential nomination,
& soldier who did brilliant, useful service
to his country. In private life he was
an active, enterprising man OF business.
But he will be longest and best remem
bered for the great achievements of his
earlier days when as a Pathfinder, he
blazed the trail from the Missouri river
TO the Pacific Ocean. For that great
service alone science will remember
him and keep his fame alive.
General Fremont was a conspicuous
type of the American, notable ex
ample of the Possibilities of the noble
growths of our institutions, which offer
to those who have the courage and the
intelligence to take advantage of them,
opportunities to achieve distinction and
usefulness. Entering upon the active
duties of life as poor teacher, he adj
vanced step by stcp, by slow and tedl-
Gus ways, to fortune and honor. With
regard to him it was especially true
that nothing was attained without labor.
Young, ambitious, daring, he entered
upon that series of explorations which
opened to this country, in its unknown
West, a new and greater empire, and
added to the Federal Union the
wealth of California and the commerce
of the Golden Gate, which typifles that
ofthe entire Pacific coast, and beyond to
China and Japan.
John C. Fremont did not always wait
for great occasions - his masterful
genius sometimes made them, as, 1t
must be regretfully said, his personal
feelings sometimes marred them. He
thus marred or ended his career as
soldier when he resigned his command
in Virginia, because Pope, whom he
outranked, was put over him. His
countrymen thought that his patriotism
should have been geater than his
personal dignity and that he should
have stayed field so long as there was
an enemy in it. HIS retirement from
the military service of his country mark
ed the BEGINNING OF the end OF his
distinguished career of honorable useful
ness as a public servant, though he was
subsequently nominated by faction of
the Republican party its candidate for
President. and later he held the posi-
ton OF Territorial Governor for short
time, and again later, IN the closing
days of his life, he was restored by
Congress to the Army.
General Fremont, if not one of the
greatest of American scientists, polIti
clans and soldiers, was one of the most
brilliant, most admired and most be
loved. He had the great qualities OF
heroism, of adventure, CT enterprise, OF
hardwood. He had genius and learn
ing, and manly honor and the gentlest
manners. He was a large hearted,
generous man, to whom much was given
and who in return gave much. He
lived to good old age, leaving behind
him the record of life OF extraordinary
achievement and valuable service to his
country.

Mr.. Blaine has written an important
letter to Senator Frye relative to the
effect of placing sugar on the free list,
and the importance of securing mar
ket for cur products in Central and
South America. MIR. Blaine's plan to
unite in fraternal and commercial
understanding all the free countries of
the Americas, if rightly understood, is
not at all at variance with the general
and benefcent principle Of protection
which is the foundation of the Mckinley
bill. Mr.. Blaine is not at all opposed
to that principle. His aim is to secure
the highest degree of prosperity for his
countryman, and that is the beginning
and the end of his policy. Reciprocal
trade with the Southern and Central
American States, which are not compe-
titors with our manufacturers, has moth
ing to do with protection against Euro
pean States which do compete in our
markets with our manufacturers. Mr..
Blaine is an American through and
through, and it can very safely be as
sumed that he will do nothing inimical
to the best interests of America.

The Silver bill, having been signed
by the President, takes effect thirty
days hence, and will require the Sec
rotary of the Treasury to purchase
4,5oo,ooo ounces of silver per month
thereofas may be offeredin eachmonth at
the market price, not exceeding 81 for
371.25 grains of pure silver. Treasury
notes are to be issued in payment
therefor. Two million ounces of the
silver bullion are TO bS coined each
month until July 1st, 1891, and there
after as much as may be necessary to
provide for the Treasury notes issued
for the purchase of silver bullion. The
Treasury notes are to be legal tender
for all debts, public and private, except
where otherwise expressly stipulated in
the contract, and are to be redeemable
in gold or silver, at the discretion Of
the Secretary of the Treasury. 1t is
these latter clauses to which the silver
men make Cost objection, but as they
have been given a fixed market for
more silver than is mined in this country
they have no great reason to complain.

Judge McSherry, of Frederick, has
decided that base ball playing on Sun
day is violation of the statute prohibit
biting work on the Sabbath day. Where
base ball players are paid salaries, and
an admission is charged to witness the
game, the judge decides is in legal
sense "work," and as such is not of the
kind exempted under the law, as labor
either of charity or necessity.

In the Henderson and Johnson con-

Eastern Shore, Cecil and Kent, voted
for the administration side. It's only
a straw, but yet its significant.

issue" the people want to be Informed
upon. Not whether Pennsylvania tax
payers have suffered at the hands of
Mr.. Quay, but what redress the people
OF MARYLAND have against Mr.. German,
Mr.. Jackson, Mr.. Baughman and their
political associates, and whose weak,
lmpotent and criminal management OF
state affairs, has cost the taxpayers OF
Maryland 50 many thousands OF dollars.
What's the Democratic party going
to do about 1t? That's what the people
want to know.
The question of Administrative Re,
form in Maryland is far more lmpor-
tant issue than that of Tariff Reform or
of protection. The people of Maryland
need protection CO against the pilfer-
ing fingers of Democratic ring politl-
clans, worse than they do against that
robber the tariff. Maryland politics
need cleansing. The scandal OF dis
honest government is at our own door.
Let the work of cleansing begin at
Annapolis before we move on Wash
