Mr. Philip D. Laird's Reply to Mr..
Turner.

Mr. Philip d. Laird, who was member
and secretary of the Archer investigation
mittee, was in Baltimore yesterday and
asked by Sun reporter what he
cht of ex Comptroller Turner'S reply
10 that portion of the committees report
bearing upon the failure of the comptrollers
10 see that the bonds and certificates were
and in response said: "Mr Tur.
ner's letter is about the only reply that could
he made if he ielt disposed to make any re-
ply at all. Read between the lines it really
Gonfesses all that the committee charge. lie
seems to think that in respect to the cancel
aLion OF bonds he had no duty to perform
except that of looking on whenever called
upon The committee take an entirely dill
lerent view, contending that lit is as much
part of the duty of the comptroller to see
that it is done as it is of the treasurer TO do
it, What the act of 1872 says regarding
this matter OF cancellation applies to bonds
and certificates maturing at some future
day Quite naturally, after reading Mr..
Turner's letter, made careful examina-
ton of the memoranda we had taken when
the boxes in the vault of the Safe Deposit
Company were overhauled. find that dur
ing Mr.. Turner's service as comptroller there
were issued to the sinking funds certificates
of the defense redemption loan to the
dulOunI Vi pOt,OOO, anu vi LnC CAChau6o
loan Of 1886 to the amount of Sal ,949.4O,
making an aggregate of $906,035 40. There
are twenty-one certificates in all, and not
one OF them is Cancelled. Indeed, we found
but one certificate or bond that had been
canceled-it was No. 1850 of the Maryland
State loan for $26,025.84, issued August 90,
! 1875, and Cancelled two days later During
Mr.. Turner'S terms there were $50 900 OF
treasury relief bonds in the sinking funds,

\ sdNerintendence Of the fisca affairs Of the
4 State, and | think It was clearly his duty
al the time he signed them, or Immediately
thereafter, to see that the law in relation to
their cancellation was complied with. But
in addition to this Mr.. Turner says Twice
during my administration were the blnds
in the sinking funds counted and lound
correct If this is so Mr.. Turner must have
discovered that the act of 1879 had nc been
complied with, and he does not help his
case by coniessing in this way that he per
mitted grave dereliction of duty on the
part of the treasurer to go unrebuked, and
kept silence as to violation Of law which
was liable at any moment to result in loss
to the people. His confidence in Mr.. Archer
as it turns out, was misplaced 1t seems Il
sufficient answer to all that TO say that tho
law was not intended to foster sentimental
condolences, but to protect the interests o
the people. "-Balto. Sun, Thursday Of las

i. is very modest request that the friends
OF Mr.. Blaine make in his behalf. "Giye
him credit for seeing the truth at last" they
say. "He will assist in defeating the errors
of the protectionists. He is a great man,
and many great men have changed their
opinions before this"
That many great men have changed in
their opinions is true, but Mr.. Blaine does
not appear to have changed his opinion in
the least. He is still in the dark ON the
subject of free trade, and he has no more
conception of commerce unhampered by
political black-mailers and congressional
meddlers than Congo dwarf has of the
principle of the phonograph.
He has spoken recently of few reci-
procity treaties, as if their negotiation would
S title the question of American commerce
Tor all time, but even if they could be Sc.
cured what would they amount to? The
trade built up under them would be Of the
most precarious nature. 1t would be at the

it. If ii contributed literally to Republican
campaign funds it would be permitted to

Mr.. Blaine advocates reciprocity. He is in
favor of small amount OF "free trade"-if
he can control it. Is that the sort of free
trade that the people Of the country are con.

years past that the tariff was war and that
it would certainly result in counter tariff.
1t has so resulted already. 1t had so re-
suited in 1888 when Mr.. Blaine ridiculed
the men who told him OF it, Now we
asked to consider him great man becau
he is forced to admit that the sting whic
he said would not come to pass has come to
pass. For ourself we would ask to be ex1
cused. We have made reasonably close
study of Mr. Blaine's career and character

but proof of his shallowness, his denaa.
goguery, his avarice and his ignorance.

Two bills were before the United States
Senate on Friday last in favor of granting
subsidies to American steamships. Mr..
Wilson, of Maryland, addressed the Senate
in opposition TO the bills. Ships, he said,
did not constitute commerce. They were
merely its instruments. The stock phrase
of the subsidists that commerce followed
the flag was never more than half true and
was often glittering talsehood. A coun.
try might have the best international postal
facilities and yet commerce might be dull
and improbable In order to have great
and healthy commerce the products of each
country must be wanted by the other coun.
try and must be furnished as cheaply as
any other competing country could furnish
them The United States was excluded
from the markets Of the world by the in.
creased prices entaied upon all its manu-
featured goods by the high protective sys-
tenn. The people OF the United States tied
their hands and loaded their backs with the
burdens of the tariff, and then whined be.
cause they bad lost their foreign commerce.

A Sad Thanksgiving Proclamation.

The saddest of all the proclamations recon-
mending national humiliation and supplica-
ton was the one issued by President Lincoln,
says the York York Times. On August II,
1861, at the recommendation of Congress, he
proclaimed in noble language:
"Our own beloved country, once by the
blessing of God, united, prosperous and happy,
is now afflicted with faction and civil war. 1t
is peculiarly fit for us to recognize the hand of
God in this terrible visitation, and, in SORROW
full remembrance of our own faults and crimes
as a nation and as individuals, to humble our
selves before HIM, and to pray for His mercy
to pray that we may be spared further pun
ishmeut though most justly deserved; that
our arms may be blessed and made effectual
for the establishment of law, order and peace
throughout the wide extent of our country,
and that the inestimable boon of civil and re-
ligious liberty earned under His guidance and
blessing by the labors and sufferings of our
fathers may be restored in all its original ex-
oallance

THE BOARD of Managers of the Baltimore
County Agricultural Society met in Baltimore
last Saturday and examined the report of Mr..
William 8. Powell, treasurer for the past year.
1t shows that debt of about $1,000, standing
against the society from the fair of 1889, had
been paid, and that about $500 had been ex-
pended for Improvements and betterments on
the grounds before the beginning of the fair Of
1890. All the expenses of the last named fair
were met and there is now a balance due by
the society, not including interest charges for
the current year, amounting to 1855. In other
words the fair of 1890 wiped out the heavy
debt standing against the society, met the out
lay for Improvements, &C., and has small
debt which can easily be handled hereafter.
The report was adopted and the treasurer was
directed to have it printed in circular form
and copy forwarded to each of the stockhold-
ers, so that they can see exactly how the socie-
ty stands. The annual meeting of the stock
holders will be held at the Carrollton Hotel,
Baltimore, Saturday, December 9Th, between
the hours of IL A. N. and 1 P. NJ, at which
time new Board of Managers will be elected
for the ensuing year.

A Nation of Philosophers.


The mere fact that as soon as the result of an
election is known the people the ordina-
ry tenor of their ways shows how absolutely
and contentedly the verdict of the majority is
accepted as law. If honest there is no thought
of opposing it. Good-natured chatting is in
dulged in, bets are paid with laugh and
everybody awaits the next turn of the political
wheel. No difference how high excitement
runs or what great party interests are at stake.
two days after an election find the people con-
tent with the result. This is not indifference,
but calm acceptance of law and order as ex
pressed by popular verdict. All this is so essen
TALLY American, so much the product of our
inherited ideas concerning selfgOvernment,
that it is an encouraging sight to see it eXhib-
tied in both little and big elections. Whatever
be our minor defects, there is deep grounded in
our very natures respect for order and wor-
shipful obedience to law. We hate mobs and
force and depend for political existence upon
the verdict of figures. Wrongs we punish in a
legal way and frown down by moral senti-
ment. In no other country can be seen the
sight of 65, 900 600 people engaged in an election
-revolutionizing parties, overturning State
Legislatures, reversing Congress, almost chang
ing Senate, making Governors, bringing new
parties into existence-and yet with scarcely
hand raised against established law or drop
of blood shed in private quarrel 1t is this
which gives confidence in our political institu-
tons and makes us proud of active knowledge
of Self-gOyernment.

Col. Thomas on the Situation.

Col. John L. Thomas, of Baltimore, while
in Washington few days ago, was interviewed
by representative of the San. Reviewing the
political situation in Maryland. and especially
in the city of Baltimore, from a Republican
standpoint Mr.. Thomas said the party is in
very bad shape. The present administration,
he says, made mistake in the distribution of
federal patronage, disregarding the wishes and
suggestions of men who have fought and labor
ed for the Republican party for the past twenty
five years. The party, said Mr.. Thomas, is
divided into factions, and there is but slight
prospect of harmony under existing circum-
stances. Many of the ablest and best men in
the party differed with the national leaders
with regard to the force bill and tariff bill.
Men who have heretofore worked and talked
for the party at every election for years past
would not act against their principles, and re-
manned out of the campaign. For the first
time in thirty, Mr.. Thomas says, he refused to
take the stump for the Republican party. I'm
less the Republicans in Congress retrace their
steps and hearken to the voice of the people,
he thinks they may be confronted with SINH
lar landslide in 1892.

ACCORDING to the figures of the late census
the city of Tacoma, State of Washington, had,
in 1870. p people. In 1880 it had 1,O9S, and in
1890, 35,S5S. The growth of the town of Mid
dlesboro, KY, is even more marvellous. 1t was
started in May, 1889, with so people and to-day
it has over 5000. 1t is situated in Bell county.
near the junction of the three states of Vir-
ginia, Tennessee and Kentucky, and in sight of
the famous Cumberland Gap. 1t is completely
surrounded by mountains which contain mex
haustible supplies of coal and iron, and large
furnaces and other manufacturing establish
ments are being erected there. 1t is expected
that within two years this wonderful town
will have population of at least 10000.

ONE OF the attractions" at the late fair of
the Frederick County Agricultural Society was
a marriage ceremony performed on gor-
geously decorated platform erected in front of
the grand stand. Several ministers have pro-
tested against such exhibitions and not with
out just cause. On the same subject the Hagers-
town Nail says such a use of sacred rite is
shocking to the moral and religious sense of
the people of any law-abiding community.
The laws of the State of Maryland and those of
the Christian church distinctly recognize and
insist upon the marriage ceremony as relig-
ious rite of most sacred character. That such
a ceremony should be degraded into public
show and advertised along with the living
skeleton and the bearded women to draw a
crowd, is blow at religion and public morali-
ty. 1t is only less sacraligious, if indeed it is
any less so, than the administration of the
Lords supper or of Baptism as a side show in
a circus"

THE MARYLAND Republican Association in
Washington has made a demand for the re-
moval of Democrats from this State who hold
places in the several federal departments. In
view of the fact that the sorry showing made
by the party in Maryland at the late election
was largely due to federal patronage" this
would seem to be an i'll advised step. We still
adhere to the opinion that 'patronage''is rather
more an element of weakness than of strength
to the Republican party of Maryland. When
there are no Offices to be given out the party
works harmoniously and always presents
bold front to the enemy. But when there is
patronage TO be dispensed then the war be-
gins among the factions and so fiercely is it
waged that the opposing party has practically
no opposition. This was the case in the last
contest and it will continue to be-

A FARMER of Summer county, Kas. has be-
come raving maniac by reason of the whist
ling of locomotives through his farm. He has
been placed in the asylum, and his condition
is said to be most pitiful, as he crouches in
terror from every noise, under the hallucina-
ton that it is a train of cars.-Exehange.
There can be no doubt that the noise made
by steam whistles on some railroads is great
public nuisance that ought to be abated. To a
sensitive and nervous person these constant
and unearthly shrieks must be most agonizing
and it is not to be wondered at that one poor
soul has been mentally wrecked by them. The
steam whistle is a relic of the past that ought
to be modified at least.

ANOTHER result of the general overturning
that the Farmers Alliance succeeded in making
in Kansas at the late election is that there will
be only four lawyers in the lower branch of
the next Legislature of that State. The farm
ers will be represented by men Of their own
calling and the result, so far as law-making is
concerned, will be watched with good deal Of
interest.

q following observation few days ago: "Its
a long time until 1892 and important changes
may take place. Men who now seem very big
may dwindle, while others not now in public
view may loom up as giants" This does not
look like the Senator had much of sinch on
Mr.. Cleveland. In the same connection we
may mention the fact that Senator German
has admirers in Washington who think he
would be the proper man to head the Demo-
cratic ticket in '92. Perhaps he is among those
mot now in public view," but "who may
loom up as giants hereafter.
