An Example for Westminster.

The people of Easton. Talbot county, Md.
have a live Board of Trade which is doing n
good work in developing the business interest
of that town. The board is giving free eX-
cursions to the people along the line of their
railroad, and introducing them to the mer
chants and business men generally of the
town. In this way they make known the bus
mess facilities of the town TO an extensive
region of country traversed by their railroads.
Easton is about the size of Westminster, with
not as much capital as is held by the citizens
of this town, but with probably stronger
inclination to spend it at home. A recent
excursion numbered thousand. They were
met at the depot by Il deputation of the Board
of Trade, headed by band ofmusic, escorted
to the Town Hall, addressed in an able speech
by a citizen appointed for the purpose, and
afterwards introduced to the business men
generally.
The people of vast region of territory are
thus brought together and become acquainted
with each other, and their business interests
are mutually subserved.

Death has robbed us of our mother

Yes. we miss her oh we miss her,
When we see her vacant chair:
And how sad the room is without her
For there is no mother there.

of iron manufacturers with this protection, and the
pretended discovery of q tin ore mine in the Black
Hills. can at some future time produce the raw
material and convert it into competition with the
imported article.
Mr.. Blaine who has stood as the foremost cham
pion of the protective policy, has seen new light
and realizes unless there be mighty change ruin is
inevitable. He declared publicly there isnota Sec
ton or a line in the entire bill (McKineys) which
will opena market for another bushel of wheat or
another barrel of pork" While the manufacturers
are levying these crushing taxes on American con-
sumers they sell their fabrics in Europe and in South
America prices less by from 20 to 80 per cent than
they are sold at home. More than this, they are
allowed drawback of 90 per cent. on all manufac-
lures of foreign material which sent abroad for
sale.
These questions do not affect one party only
They touch every family in the land and appealed TO
the people without respect 10 political preferences
to rise up in their strength and crush out combi-
nation of selfish and corrupt interests, that with
continued ascendancy menaced the stability of free
government.
Looking ut these stern facts, is it surprising there
should haze been a sweeping revolution at the re-
cent elections. or that it has come to stay?

OVERRIDING 1t.


Certain newspapers, of the Mugwump
variety, like the New York Post and Balti.
more SlH are OVERRIDING the business of
nominating Mr.. Cleveland in 1892. They
act MS though Mr.. Cleveland's boom was
wholly in their keeping, and like selfish
children with new toy they don't want any.
body to touch it and scream when anyone APP
pronches The next President of the United
States will be nominated by the Democratic
party, not by the Mugwump press. AT present
no name is seriously considered by the mass of
the party but Cleveland's, and were the con
vention to nominate Il candidate to be held
soon, Mr. Cleveland would be the unanimous
choice. While Mr. Cleveland is the most
popular Democrat today in the country, it is
not to be denied that there are Democrats
who prefer Gov Hill to Mr.. Cleveland, and
Mr. Cleveland is not being strengthened hy
the Muewnmp press attempting 10 belitile
Gov. Hill. Gov. Hill belongs in the front
rank of American statesman, the peer of
any. Those who would make it appear that
he is Il mere politician and part organizer,
have no conception of his real merits. Gov.
Hill is great statesman, and the cause of
Mr.. Cleveland cannot be aided in attempts to
drag him down.

Meeting of Congress.

The Fifty-frst Congress commences It's
second and last session on Monday next, and
on the 4th of March the session will end.
The spectacle will be presented OF Congress
legislating for the country that has been re
pndiated by the people. If the majority
elected to the neX Congress had been only
five or six Democratic, or even fifteen, the
result might have been occasioned by the
mingling of local with national affairs, or
other causes; but the turning out OF Re
publican majority of more than twenty and
substituting Democratic majority OF one
hundred and forty was no accident 1t was
the deliberate Judgment Of the people. 1t
was an unmistakable, emphatic and deserved
rebuke TO u party that has wasted the people 5
money in extravagant and useless appropra-
tions; that has piled higher tax burdens that
the people asked to be made lighter; that has
denied the freedom of debate, unseated law
fully chosen Representatives, and been
guilty of many high handed and outrageous
acts. In the true nature of things, 1t would
seem that a Congress that had been thus re-
pudiated ought not to legislate longer, and II
has been suggested that the term of n Con
gress ought to expire in the Fall, before
election day, instead of the 4th OF March. II
this change should be made. as it ought tc
be, we should not have q Congress that has
been repudiated longer making laws. Ever
if the people made no great change in the
r., IL I.ntgl,
it would be better to have Congress NEE
shortly after election, fresh from the people
instead of year later.
What Congress will do this winter has beer
matter of much speculation. The severe
defeat has madiened some of the leaders
and it is said that the Force bill and othe
partisan measures may be pushed through
But it is not probable that this can be done
The Senate was not favorable to the Fore
bill last session, and the popular verdict a
the polls has tended to strengthen the opposi
ton on the Republican side. Besides, tn
session will be short, and all the appropria
ton bills for the year ending, June 3Oth
1892, have to be put through. An effort vii
be made TO pass Congressional apportion
menL hill, based on the recent census, bu
the Democrats will strenuousy resist It's pas
sage, upon the ground that the census is nc
accurate and does not show the true popua
ton scarcely anywhere, particularly in Dem
ocratic localities. The consideration {
this measure will consume considerable
time, and this, with the appropriation bill
and other partisan matters that will b
pressed will occupy all the session.

A NEW VIEW OF 1T.
senator EusIis Gives All the Praise 10
Democratic Senator's
From The Washington Post Of Nov. 20.

FROM inc huslllllslul iosl VI WV ~
According to Senator Eustis, of Louisiana,
who has returned to the city, the Democratic
Senators, under the leadership of Mr.. Cor
man, are deserving nearly all the praises for
the Democratic victory. This is new view
of it, but he argues his point with some force.
"We Democratic Senators" he said to
Post Reporter yesterday, first secured the
postponement of the elections bill after ex-
posing all its inconsistencies and its partisan
and dangerous character. Then when the
tariff bill was brought forward we not only
secured full and exhaustive debate, which
was of the utmost Importance, but We so timed
the final passage of the bill that its effect
began to be felt just when the voters were on
the threshold of the polling places. 1t was
the greatest piece of political strategy that the
country has seen for years, and it was wisely
planned and successfully executed"
How about the elections bill p
"The agreement which existed between
both sides of the Senate chamber; whereby
the bill was postponed, expired when the
session closed. | should not wonder if the
Republicans would try and pass it this session.
OF course this action would be holly contested
by the Democrats. No, the bill may be dead,
but am not sure that the Republicans have
buried it.

A Magnificent Floral Exhibit.


Correspondence of the Democratic Advocated
WASHINGTON, d. c., Nov. IS, 1890.
This is the season of the year when Wash
ington is beginning to put on her gay attire
for the coming feast Of fashion, entertain.
ments, social joys and jealousies, and all the
ct ceteras attendant on a winter in the capital
of the nation. This week we have the Amer
lean Opera Company to begin the musical
season, aud numerous attractions IN this line
are soon to follow. 1t will be but a few days
now till Congress is upon us again, with all
the caravan complete, and many who no
doubt wish they could, like the Arab, "fold
their tents and silently steal away; from the
exclamation which they will have 20 make
regarding their defeat and the tariff. But
the most attractive feature in the way of
entertainment which Washington has had to
start the season of pleasure is the floral exhibit
wi.ich the Messrs. Small have afforded by
their free chrySanthemum show which has
been in progress here for the last week.
Washington has never before seen the like of
it, and no other city has had the privilege Of
such sight free of charge to the visitor.
The skill with which these sturdy and delight
fll flowers have been arranged has had much
to do with the magnificent effect. The center
of the large store is huge mound of chrys-
anthemums, and in all the various colors,
surrounded by giant palms, whose glossy
green contrasts with snowy white, rich purple,
and golden yellow. On all sides are plants
and the latest and most beautiful blossoms.
some of the latter being as large as inches
in diameter. The effect of this arrarrange-
ment of these queens of the autumn" fra.
grant roses in earthen jars, hangings of aspar-
agus, and the minging of ferns and potted
plants is almost indescrbable. To add still
more to the display, there is representation
of the east front of the Capitol, with pillars,
dome, windows, marble approaches, etc,
and every detail exactly and Mechanically
reproduced, the whole being lighted at night
by electric lights. in the front of this NINA
ture capitol are beautifully laid off grounds,
interspersed with chrysanthemums, roses,
and maidenhair ferns. Thousands of Wash
| ington's citizens have visited and been de
lighted at this fairy-like scene. There are in
the little capital over 100000 white cape
| flowers, 100 electric lights, the whole sur.
mounted by the Goddess of Liberty.
Among the most prominent of the varieties
of chrysanthemums are the Mrs. Bowers

earnings for the year ended September 80,

go of net earnings. The increase of net
earnings over 1889 was S22, 144. There was
"A largely increased freight and passenger
traffic, but at slightly decreased rates. The
present unsettled condition of the money
market will prevent the immediate construc

last year for the use of their tracks is stand

are more propitious, Certain valuable con-

Although the pension appropriations for
last year amounted to about $40, 1000 900,
Pension Commissioner Raum, in n report Just
made, says about $4,000, 900 more will be
needed. This will make total cost for pen
sions ofabout $4,000, 900, and it is estimated
that at the present rate of increase in year
or two more the annual cost on account of
pensions will be about $3.50, 900, 900 year.
This is Just three times as much as the entire
expenses of the government during the last
year of President Buchanan's term. 1t is
fully three times as much as ought to be spent
for pensions now.
