On Whit Monday our town had the appear
ance of Sunday. 1t seemed as though every
body had left the place. One hundred and
thirty odd tickets were sold at the railroad
office for Westminster.
The sons of Ham had n celebration in Hiram
Englars woods, half mile from this place.
The participants were the members of the
Orders of Nazarites and Good Samaritans
Rev. Mr.. B.ice made an address in the after
noon, as also several members of the Order,
after which the two colored bands in atten-
dance, both playing at the same time, dis
coursed heart rending music, which had the
effect TO put life in the lower limbs of the
whole crowd. At night the young folks had
big time. Ice cream and cakes were sold
on the ground for the benefit of the associa-
ton. Excellent order prevailed throughout
the day and evening, much to the credit of
the colored people. There was an entire
absence of drunkenness.
On Tuesday night very pleasant dancing
party took place in the parlor at Dielman's
Hotel. The dancing was fine and the music
excellent.
On Friday of last week the mortal remains
of the late John c. Clemson were quietly laid
to rest in the Catholic cemetery at Liberty.
The church was deliberately draped in mourn
ing. Rev. Father Reaney celebrated requiem
mass, after which Rev. Father Quinn, OF Bal
limore, preached short but touching SER
mon. Many prominent people from the sur
rounding country were present. The pail
bearers were Capt. Warner Welsh, Edw.
Hobbs, Louis Dielman, VIM. K. Curry, Scot
McAlister and Daniel Boon. The floral
tributes were many and beautiful.

fair and festival at Odd Fellows Hall last
Saturday evening and continued Monday and
Monday evening, Tuesday evening, Thursday
evening and will close this Saturday evening.
A Firemans' parade and trades display
took place Monday afternoon. At l O'Clock
the procession was formed on Church and
York streets by Chief Marshal ex-sheriff
George A. Shower, assisted by his two aids,
Lawrence Benford and J. p. Baltozer. The
procession was headed by Manchester Drum
Corps and Manchester Band, followed by the
Hook and Ladder Company, IN uniform,
drawing their new truck, the engine, deco
rated with flags and wreaths and drawn by n
par of spirited, caparisoned white steedss,
driven by Howard Berwager. Bonair Band,
of Pennsylvania, headed the farming imple-
ment and machinery department. This de-
partment was led by Mr.. E. j. Crumrine,
agent for the Mccormick Company, who
exhibited the various articles of machinery
used on farms-in operation and also in posi-
ton for transportation, and VIM. II. Shower,
machlnlst of our town, whose machinery and
farm implements stand second to none in
doing good work and in durability, brought
up the rear of the machinery division. Beck
ieysyile Band headed the coach and miscel-
laneous section. This department was par
ticipated in by Masenhimer x Bergman. and
George l.. Klamath, coach manufacturers; j..
j. Lynerd, chicken fancier; sewing machine
men, &c.
The testimony of persons who Witnessed
the parade is that, though of less magnitude
than on one or two former occasions, the
quality of the material and the management
made it equally interesting.
About shutdown number of barrels, boxes,
old buggies, &C., saturated with coal oil, was
set on fire at the corner of Church and York
streets, in order to exhibit the working oil
the engine.
Owing to the demonstration at Westmin-
ster and celebration in York county, Pa,
near the Maryland line, the number of stran-
gers was not so large as on some former
occasions, the estimated number of visitors
being $500.

Carroll

Memorial Day services will be held at q

Taxation.
From The warrenlon va.) Index.

From the Warrenton Na-) Index.
The most direct road and the widest open
gate to tyranny is through taxation, and that
tax which is laid upon people greater than rs
necessary for the purposes of government
prudently and wisely administered amounts
to spoliation and robbery, and is the most
oppressive form of tyranny. 1t seems strange
that such an idea should be entertained in a
| free country under q government Of the
people, by the people, and for the people, ="
yet if we will look into our present system OF
taxation, consider its crushing power,
view the condition of affairs it has brought
about and the inevitable destruction that
awaits the people and their industrial inter-
ests, we are justified in declaring that we are
subjected to degree of tyranny greater than
that the crowned heads of Europe dare intlct
upon their people, whom they declare were
created for them and over whom they rule by
divine right.
Let us see: Our 'Billion Congress" made
appropriations averaging over $500, 000, 900 a
year. This is greater than the burden put
upon any people under monarchial rule, save
those of Russia, embracing vast scopes Of
country in Europe, Asia, Africa, and until
lately in North America.
No country in the old world with the above
exception spends as much even though they
have vast armies and immense navies to pro-
teet, support and uphold enthroned royalty.
Think of it, over one and half millions for
every day, and in country without an army
or navy to speak of, but with a vast horde OF
pensioners ever clamoring for more, and
swarms of officials to be fed without stint at
the public crib, under the idea that though
our servants yet they are to help the people
to govern themselves. What travesty on
| free institutions, republican simplicity and
the boosted honesty of government in which
the people are supposed to rule.
The Washington Post makes a most start
ling presentation of facts, when, after giving
the figures in each case, it announces that all
the wheat and oats grown in the United
States would keep the Government but little
more than one year.
All the gold, silver, iron, copper, coal and
minerals of all kinds mined in one year, would
not keep the Government in funds for that
length of time.
/ Again, all the cotton, wool, or all the rye,
barley, wines, potatoes and tabaeco raised
would not be sufficient to carry on the Gov
eminent for year.
Now how is this vast amount TO be raised
There are people who do not know, because
the money is not taken directly out Of their
pockets, but persons knowing enough to
come in out of the rain realize that it is raised
by taxation and comes out Of the hard earned
wages of the people through the agency of the
high tariff. 1t is at last being understood;
the people are not only becoming aroused but
mean business, and they will put down this
extortion, even though upheld by money used
for bribery, fraud and corruption.
The contest is now between men and money
between the people and plutocrats, and we
dare hope the struggle will be neither long nor
doubtful.

From the centreviIle Observer.

Local politics is unusually quiet in demo

county offices are being but little discussed.
Considerable attention is, however, being Civ
en- to State politics. The Governorship is at
tracing the most attention, and there is a
growing sentiment favorable to the candidacy
Of Hon. Frank Brown, particularly among
the farmers, although this sentiment is not by
any means confined to that class. lfthe SEN
timent of the majority of the party is consult
ed, delegation will be sent to the state con.
vention in favor of the nomination of Frank
Brown for Governor.
