spirit Of truth in his heart. facing
all the world he knew arrayed
against him.
Deserted bv his friends, hunted
down Isl his enemses, a forced refuf
gee for wears. Yet he succeeded,
He was determined that the obsta-
files should be surmounted; il bis
heart be- said, There shall be no
Alps. There are people and they
are those who move things in this
world to whom no barrier however
high is impossible, no problem is
without 4 solution, no difficulty but
itmay be overcome.i
Determination Isl the principle Of
life within the seed Of human ambi-
tion, which enables it to overcome
the most gigantic obstacles, the
greatest difficulties. External cir
cumstances however contrary, make
little difference in hesuccess of one
filled with ambition and determine
tion, save that there is strength
that comes only from conquest, a
power acquired only through hard
experience and endless toll Wealth
honestly acquired is ten-fold more
valuable to the possessor than wealth
inherited. He who has climbed to
the summit has developed strength
that he who was born there can not
possess. A precious boon-is hard
ship to him who has deteI mined to
endure it. That grand rugged
strength which characterized Abra-
ham Lincoln was the reward Of hard
ship and toll. When one is seen so

discourage him, respect him, revere

Partisanship.

L. E. WooDsoN.

] We believe political parties are
necessary to keep inviolate the prin-
Isciples Of liberty, and to maintain in
their integrity the institutions Of a
Democracy. These parties should
be the opponents of certain princi-
pies or policies Of governments Men
believe in principles, advocate poll
cies and have convictions: to realize
these, they form and support parties.
A party is then an instrument.
A party may advocate measures
contrary to justice and right, and to
the fundamental laws of morals, and
the average partisan will go mad in
it's support. Such is partisanship.
Can This be loyalty to principle
when principle is wholly wanting?
Can this be for love Of country,
whenit antagonizes the most sacred
interests Of country? Can this be
the promptings of common sense,
when in it is no sense common OF
uncommon , #I Y
One word indicates its cause, and
that is prejudice. .,,
Of this ignorance is. first and fun
damental. II Z 49,
The third element in this complex
notion is bigotry. :, .>*-
Having considered partisanship in
it's nature, we now turn to it as a
cause producing its own legitimate
effects.
First, ithinders discussion. To
contemn discussion is characteristic
of prejudiced persons. They have
no time to waste in debating ques-
tions their fathers decided for them,
The party bosses most despicable
tyrants have ruled and the bosses
are their political gods. Would that
idolatry were banished from our
land, and all men would exercise the
powers Of thought and action with
which God has endowed them!
One person may see clearly one
phase of truth, and be totally
blind to some other, which may to a
second person be self evident. 1t is
by comparison and discussion that
both may see the whole truth. This
is the way by which the masses are
to be educated in the principles of
of government. The right of dis
cussion is the chief corner stone of all
democratic institutions. But this
excessive partisanship of the plat
form, of. the press and even of our
legislative assemblies conceals truth
'sThat infinite power which in child
hood seems limited; but with the
years grows and seems more remote,
and grander, and deeper, and vast

neglect of this, can be attributed the

Goyernor's Message.

The Governors message to the Legis-
la,ure of Maryland. was. taken all in ,ll,
quite creditabIe State paper, and con-
tanned many wise and valuable sugges-
tions. The Governor recommends that
a general law be passed providing for
tax on the gross receipts of every for
eigu corporation doing business in the
State, aud he shows that there are sew
eral of those corporations, now doing
business in the State without contribu-
ting to the States support lie also ia
vors the taxation of railroad property.
aud says tlat in no one particular ha
the Legislature been SO unnindful and
uneuarGcd OF the rights of the people
and the State as in grants to railroad
He shows that other
States derive a much lurger revenue
from railroad corporations, al hough hav-
ing murh less property, than is paid hy
the same eompouies to Maryland. He
/. sists that legislation be had. which
will relieve the farmers and the people
generally Of this unjust discrimination.
The Governor thinks that as the State
Tobacco ware1ous cost anripg the
past swo years about ten thousand dol
lars more than receipts that it would be
better to close two of the warehouses
and save the additional unnecessary ex-
reuse ir rrleren 70 to the Maryland
