Meeting of the Central Committee.

The meeting of the Democratic County
Central Committee on Monday last was the
occasion of the gathering of many prominent
Democrats and candidates in this city. The
committee set the dates for primaries and
conventions, and there was but little differ
ence of opinion among the members as to the
work before them. The action upon all mat
tiers was practically unanimous, and this har-
monious action was indicative of united
front in the coming campaign.
Among the aspirants for places on the
ticket there was observable great good humor.
In the multiplicity of candidates, all realized
that the number to be chosen is limited.
While each hoped to be successful the uncer-
lainty about the outcome of the primaries
and convention has produced an uncertainty
in the minds of aspirants as to their own for
Times None claimed that his success was
assured. To observers, who are interested
only in the nomination of capable and popular
candidates, the appearances were cheering.
The indications were that there would be no
severe disappointments after the ticket is
chosen by the convention.
The convention to select delegates to the
state convention was set early, because there
is but one sentiment on the choice for Cover
nor and it was proper for the Democrats of
Mr.. Browns native county to give formal
expression of their preference for him at an
early date. The county nominating conven-
ton will not be held until August oath, and
there is ample time intervening for the can
ddates to lay their claims before the voters
and for the people to give due consideration
to the merits of all aspirants.
The action of the Central Committee seems
to have been guided by sound judgment.

Commissioner Rauin on Tuesday signed

late war Widows and minors certificates

gate ofSl, 1884, 49, 900. The pension payments
have increased largely in the past ten years,
and they are expected to increase for the next
four or five years. The appropriations for
this year amount to one hundred and forty
FIVE millions of dollars, and ii ia thought this
will not be sufficient by some millions. The
pensioners number nearly one million per
sons, and the charge is very heavy upon those
who are not. Very many of these persons
are not entitled to government aid, and many
others do not need it.

The Brown Resolutions.

FROM the EdstOn OenOCTat
Among the resolutions of the Democratic
convention last Tuesday was one endorsing
Frank Browns candidacy for gubernatoria
nomination. The resolutions not only de-
clared it to be the sense Of our people that
Mr. Brown was suitable man for governor
but positively instructed the delegates to the
State Convention to cast their votes for him.
Notwithstanding dissatisfaction passed at the
same convention meeting which selected
these delegates, it is understood they now
claim that the resolution is not binding upon
them but that they can follow the dictates OF
their own judgment. This position is claimed
by the delegates to be tenable simply because
they were chosen before the resolutions were
passed. This is very shallow indeed. The
sentiment of the county has been shown 10 be
overwhelmingly in favor of Brown for Gov
ernor, and if these delegates think they can
go to the State Convention next month and
use their own judgment regarding the guber-
material nomination they are reckoning with
out their host. Gentlemen, remember you
are not sent to the State Convention as polit-
zeal dictators but merely to give expression ia
the will of Talbot's people in this matter.

Without a Parallel.

''Its achievements have no parallel" says
the Republican platform Of Ohio, speaking
of the. Republican party. This is undeniable.
No party ever spent over a billion Of dollars
in two years; no party ever tried to pass such
an odious measure as the Force bill; no party
was ever so disregardful of the constitution
and the rights of the minority; no party ever
passed so oppressive a tax bill; no party ever
so catered to monopoles; no party was ever
so completely condemned at the polls. In
its record are pension scandals and pension
frauds, subsidy jobs and public building
steals. No, it is true, sits achievements
have no parallel.m

the Baltimore Sun, under date of June 24th,
says: A meeting of colored voters, under the
auspices of the Arthur P. German eolored

object, and on motion of I. A. Sembly, pres
ident Of the association, VIM. L. Skinner was
elected president of the meeting. The main
object OF the meeting was to create an indie
pendent sentiment among the colored voters
in Charles, Prince Georges, St. Mary's and
Calvert counties, now the strongholds of the
Republicans. After preliminary work res
olution was adopted declaring ex.Postmaster
Frank Brown to be the choice of the indepen-

Menace to the Wheat Crop.

ST. PAUL, June pa new menace to the
wheat crop has appeared in some parts of
North Dakota in the shape of pepper grass or
wild mustard. In Barnes county the reports
show the alarming condition of wheat on ae-
count of the growth of pepper grass, the new
weed Of the mustard family, which has ap-
reared this year for the first time.
Many fields are already entirely ruined, and
thousands of acres of wheat that were most
promising, being chiefly on summer fallow,
will not be worth harvesting. The damage to
date is estimated from fifteen to twenty per
cent. In other respects the crop looks we'll,
but too much rain has produce some deterior-
alton.
In Grand Forks county the same trouble
has appeared, and the State authorities, who
have been investigating the grasshopper scare,
think there is far more danger to apprehend
from the wild mustard, which many farmers
are allowing to grow in their fields.
Trail county complains of too much rain
and the danger now is that the grain will
lodge From South Dakota points and
throughout Minnesota the reports continue
highly encouraging. Corn, fax, and potatoes
have been forwarded rapidly by the rains and
warm weather of the past few days.

growing wheat in large numbers. 1t seems
to be almost as numerous as two years ago,
when great damage was done.
Word comes from the great drainage dis

havoc with the wheat. AS the wheat is
ripening the worms leave it and attack the

The Attempted Unseating Of
MIR. Osgood May Cause a
Stormy Debate.
Restoration of Carload Rates
to Be Asked by Hardware
Merchants.
Jay Gould Reported to Have
Purchased the Chicago
& Alton.
Shippers Will Demand Rep
resentation at Meetings
of Managers.

CHICAGO, Feb. 9.-At the meeting OF
the Western Freight association, which
begins tomorrow, an attempt will be
made to transform that association into
the Lake division of the Western Traffic
association, as recommended by the
commissioners, but without changing
the rules under which it is at present
operated. If this movement is success
full, j. w. Midgley will become commits
Si0ner Of the entire division, and G. n.
Osgood, now acting chairman of the
Western and Northwestern divisions,
will be relegated to a subordinate posi-
ton. Mr.. Osgood has made many friends
among the traffic managers of the West
ern and Northwestern roads. who will
oppose any movement that is calculated
to unSeat him, and it is expected that
there will be stormy debate when this
question is brought up. Besides, it is
doubtful if the Chicago < Alton, or the
Chicago, st. Paul d Kansas City will con-
sent to any change in the name or condi-
tons of the association, since such a
course would imply acquiescence in the
presidents agreement, to Which they

necessary to merge the old association
in the new one, and the abOve-named
roads must either record their votes i'm
the negative or commit themselves to the
terms OF the new agreement. 1t is not
considered likely that they will do the
latter, and by adopting the former
course they can defeat the whole scheme
and prevent consolidation of the sey-
eral divisions of the Western Freight
association. Another matter to he con-
sdered at this meeting is demand
from the hardware dealers for restor-
alton of the carload rate on mixed ship
ments of wire and nails. For number
of years shippers of hardware, when
consignment of wire did not fill car.
have been permitted to complete the
carload with nails, and so avoid paying
the less than carload rate. This privi-
lege was withdrawn Feb. 2. and the
hardware men are up in arms in conse-
Quence. The roads are divided as to the
wisdom OF restoring the carload rate on
the mixed shipments, and it will proba-
bly, not be an easy matter to reach set
tlement of the question.
