A foxy faced young man literally
covered with new watches suddenly
popped up in the middle of the stag

Watches lung on buttons, were
strung on straps like onions, dropped

The crowd was staggered into ST.

TRIALS ON A STREET CAR.
A Conductors Version Not Agreed With

by "a Woman Who Interrupts His Wall.
A conductor on an Eighth avenue
car going up town one evening when
the cold weather was recently here
wore a smile So pronounced that no n
could resist asking him the cause Of his
jubilant spirits.

strap to let a woman with a big basket
get of the ear. I've had nothing but
a picnic all day. | started out this
morning with an open car, but after
the first trip most of the open a r were
recalled and closed ear substituted.
I've had a closed car all day."
''Do you much prefer a closed carr
he was asked.
well, rather. Say, it's nothin' but
fun to run one OF these cars 'longside
| of one of those big c~arryalls for a couple
| of months" remarked the collector of
fares as he became SO much interested
in his conversation that he failed to
hear a stout man calling frantically for
him to stop the car.
"Here, you see, | have only a nice
little select crowd to look after, and !
can sec every motion or signal that Is
made, while on one of the open cars !
must be on the lookout constantly for
some one who wishes to get on or of
| the car, and | must bounce off about
every minute to help a woman on, and
a woman never knows where she wishes
to sit, and usually walks the whole
length of the car before making up her
mind that she desires the vacant seat

tinued. growing confidential, 'women

AT meeting of the mercants Of Frede-
rick on Tuesday night Of last week, the
question, "What is to be done with the
canal2" was considered. After a general
expression of sentiment the following reso-
luton was unanimously adopted "That we
advocate the prompt building of railroad
on the bed of the canal, and ask the people
Of Western Maryland to aid us in urging
on the project TO speedy completion" A
committee, consisting of Messrs. ID. @. Wine
brener, JAS e. Walker, Thos. II. Haller, ID.
Lowenstein and j. ID. Hendrickson, was
appointed TO confer with other interested
parties in reference TO the matter. The
building of a railroad on the canal bed will
result, it Is believed, in the extension of the
Pennsylvania road from Frederick, and also
in the building of short line from Gettys-
burg to Kingsdale, which would thus give
through route from Washington to Gettys-
burg by way of Frederick, and would GER
tainly prove of great advantage to all oul
local interests Citizen.

Shall the State Suffer to the Advan-
tage of the B. & OF

To my FeLt0l0- -citlzenS 1t was matter of
deep regret to me that was prevented from
attending the meeting, on Wednesday, Civ
ing expression to the great interesti in the
construction of railroad down the canal.
1t is not only a matter Of deep interest to
the portion o. this county lying on the lbord-
ers Of the canal, but it is one of public ne
cessity that demands immediate relief and it
ia deplorable fact that a great private cor
poration and a few private individuals can
so manage and rule matters as to prevent the
construction OF railroad down the hazEa
the canal. IL
public money to construct this waslr-way,
which has in its time served its purpose and
now it is no longer feasible TO run it as
waterway; but by the expenditure of this
money the way is more than half construct
ed for railroad, which could and would be
utilized for that purpose If responsible parties
were permitted to build such a road. Yet
they are prevented by the Baltimore & Ohio
Railroad Company. 1t is useless TO conceal
the fact that the present proprosed Railroad
is suppressed by the action of the Baltimore
Il Ohio Railroad it is to the interest of that
corporation to prevent the construction OF
railroad over that route, and so long as it
can by any means prevent such action IL VIII
do 80. Must the public necessity be subserv-
lent to private corporation Must hun
dreds Of the citizens Of Maryland be driven
TO the wall, penury and want to make rich
few composing the stockholders of the Rail-
road Has the State in its majesty become so
feeble that she cannot protect her own citi-
zens against such gross and tyrannycal pow
er? Has the maxim ''that private rights must
be subservient to public necessity" become
perverted ?
The $500, 900 of bonds of 1878 and interest
can be paid. The bonds of 1874 were taken
alone upon the net revenue of the canal,
no other security was required, no other
security was given. As water way
the canal is a failure, it produces and can
produce no net revenue. The security has
irretrievably failed and those holders of the
bonds Of 1874 have nothing TO look to for
their payment. Shall the citizens of the pres
ent day be punished for the imprudence Of
those investors of l8442
The report of the receivers says the security
is gone. The officers OF the State offered this
highway for lease, neither the bondhoders
of 1874 nor 1878 came forward 10 protect their
interest, and lease has been made, the State
should make it its duty to see that this lease
is faithfully carried out, and If these bond
holders of 1874 are wronged or illegally in
jured let them look to the State for repara-
ton and not by indirect means and legal
technicalities destroy large portion OF the
State.
The franchise as il is at present produces
nothing to any person, shall it remain to

THE FEDERAL ELECTION BILL.

Lhb rbDHhdL hLhCIION DILL.
The infamous election bill, of which we
wrote in our last issue, will of course be
crowded through Congress, President Har.
rison will sign it, and it will be law until
the Supreme Court decides it unconstitu-
lional, which we cannot doubt it will do.
1t will be the longest stride towards con-
solidation yet taken in this country. 1t is
but step from the usurpations by federal
power, contemplated by this bill, to the con.
centration of all the functions of the gov.
ernment at Washington, the virtual obliter-
alton of State lines, and the appointment
from Washington of governors and mayors,
just as projects and administrators for the
French departments are appointed from the
Elysee at Paris. Of course the constitu.
tion prohibits this, but what is to prevent
the absolutionists, when they have taken
possession of the ballot boxes, from chang.
ing the constitution to suit themselves, or
openly defying it, if they so please Under
this law elections for representatives in
Congress will become farce and a fraud.
The returning board system, under which
the States of Louisiana and Florida were
stolen in 1876, and the legally elected Pres
ident was deprived of his office, will be ex-
tended all over the United States. A Re-
publican majority in the next House, OBJ
tained by these extra-constitutional and
revolutionary methods, will be as little sig
nificant of the will of the American neonle
as the majority cast for Louis Napoleon,
under the plebiscite OF 1851, was ofthe wishes
of the French nation.
The only hope of the American people
to-day lies in the Supreme Court. Unless
that great tribunal calls a summary halt on
the mad career Of Reed and his fellow
revolutionists, self government in this coun-
Try will soon be only tradition
