For the Democratic Advocate.
Important to Those Who Have Their
Homes Contiguous to Day, Wood
bine and Lisbon, of Carroll
and Howard Counties.

There has been long existing discomfort, now
growing into utter impatence on the part of the
farmers of both Howard and Carroll counties who
are patrons of Woodbine Station, B. Il o. r. r., OH
account of the meagrc facilities afforded for the bus
iness of that place.
The limited side track will scarcely allow two
teams to load or unload at the time while half
u dozen stand waiting. The yard in which this has
To be done is often so mirey that unloaded eroses
will sink the first ground layer under mud and
water and if man has TO aight and cross the yard
he has to pass over the timber piles to do so. II is
with great difficulty that loaded teams make ingress
and egrcss aud while such is the place for all this
work. such is the limited length of side track that
we have known carloads of fertilizer to play back
and forth past woodbine for as much as ten days,
not finding empty side track enough to drop them
in, while the waiting farmers were coming several
miles with their teams day after day, and returning
empty, i'll their all-important seed time.
In consequence of such poor facilities produce is
being diverted from within three and four miles of
WOodbine, ten twelve miles northward, on the
Carroll county side, and on the Howard county side
is being wagoned TO Baltimore by pike. And fur
Their, as the result Of limited side track awaiting
turns for want of room, almost impossible mud,
want of warehouse ccnvcniencies, &c, wheat ship
ping from Woodbine Station has fallen off 50 per
centum as compared with last summers shipments
the people learning by their then experience that
the grievances were too intolerable TO be borne.
The embryo company, few individuals, were
chartered as public carriers by the state of Mary
land, and as such they have grown 10 vast proper
tons and of course operate the road for their own
interests. The citizens of the state patrOnize the
road for their interests likewise. This resolves
the whole problem in this case into an identity of
interests that become one in common. Now, self
interest being the leading motive power of the
world this is appeal of self interest on the part
of the people to like self interest the part of the
/ h. X o. L. r. Co. For that Company can make no
better paying investment of similar cost than by
untrameing commerce at Woodbne, by eXtention
Of side track, increasing warehouse facilities and
making il a free depot. VOX PoPUL

Avoid Bitterness.

In Hartford county, in the Democratic party,
the Crawford county system prevails. by
this system every voter is afforded an oppor-
tunity of expressing his choice for candidates
for each Office to be filed. The system pre-
walls in Kent and Montgomery counties. All
of these counties are strongly Democratic,
but each has sent Republicans to the Senate
or House of Delegates. In these counties
iealousies and bitterness have been so devel-
oped at primaries; the friends of candidates
have become so enlisted in the cause OF their
iavorites, and the habit of building up one
candidate by pulling down another has been
carried to such excess, that defeat has some
times resulted
In Hartford county, says the Belair .Egis
and InteiEgeacer, very many Democrats are
outspoken in condemnation of the Crawford
county system of nominating. Theoretically
it is the fairest plan, as it appears to give
every voter an opportunity Of expressing his
wishes by his vote with regard to the selection
of his party's candidates. Practically,
continues the -EgiS,
at does not always express the choice OF IL
majority of the party. 1t has happened
and may happen again-that men have re-
ceived the highest vote for an Office who were
not the choice of the party, the majority vote
beng divided among the other and more
suitable candidates. The objections to the
system, are not so much on account OF the
danger of nominating unsuitable candidates,
but because of the bitter fight which 1t pro.
vokes among those who are shortly afterwards
expected to stand shoulder to shoulder against
the opposing party. Animosity and strife are
engendered during the heated canvass for
nomination which can seldom be entirely
healed up before the general election occurs. y
What is true of the Crawford plan, is true
of the ordinary contest, to some extent
for the friends of the unsuccessful candidates
to turn about and support the successful ones
For this reason we last week counselled mod
Grafton, respectful conduct towards opposing
candidates and fairness. We again repeal
the warning. Don't try to build up you
favorite by saying uncomplin.eutary things Of
his rivals. Votes as you choose, and allow
others to do likewise. Don't become toe
enthusiastic, for your favorite may not b'
successful, and you might feel that life is no
worth living. Remember that there are abou
four thousand Democrats in Carroll, anC
each one has as much right to his opinion
concerning candidates as you have. Do th'
best you can for your candidates, withou
seeking to injure rival aspirants, and be re
solved to stand by the nominees. Those wh'
do not intend to abide the result, ought no
to participate in the primaries.

Is Cents for the Campaign.

The ADVOCATE will be sent to any address
during the campaign, beginning August 18th
and ending November 18th, the issue after the
election, for % cents During this period
every Democrat in Carroll should have the
ADVOCATE, and leading Democrats throughout
the county should see to it that all are sup
piled with the paper. The campaign this
year is of unusual importance. Every cleo
tive office in the state, nearly, is to be filled,
six proposed Constitutional Amendments are
to be voted upon, and upon the Legislature
TO be chosen will devolve the duty of electing
two United States Senators, a State Treasurer,
and Police Commissioner for Baltimore.
The election, too, will have considerable
bearing on the contest oflS92. Every Demo
crat should be fully impressed with the i'm
portance of the contest, in order that he may
properly understand his duty and be at his
post on election day. Make up clubs at once
and send in the lists, accompanied by the
subscription money. Address,

Pennsylvania is heavy loser by Bardsley' S
delalcatons and Philadelphia broken banks
Gov. Pattison proposes to have an investiga-
ton made, and is evidently not pleased with
the character of the investigation being made
by the Philadelphia city council. The state
has instituted two suits to recover the taxes
due, one against the city of Philadelphia and
the other against John Bardsley, late city
treasurer. The first is to recover personal
property tax for 1890, amounting to 1922
O13.I2 and the second for license taxes,
amounting to $527, 6O4l4, less credits of
100000 on account of taxes paid by brewers,
brokers, theatres, wholesale and retail liquor
dealers since the first settlement and during
the months of March, April and May, 1890.

A Card.

To THE PEOPLE OF CARROLL COUNTY:
Mr.. Charles B. Roberts has lately become
a candidate for Judge of this circuit. As his
candidacy was somewhat unexpected, in view
of his refusal to acceptthe appointment when
rendered to him, many inquiries have been
made of me, here and elsewhere, as to the
causes of his action. | have said to those
making such inquiries that had no knowledge
on the subject, nor any theory. have further
said that | received, and still hold in my pos
session, a telegram Of congratulation from Mr.
Roberts, dated the day before | accepted the
office. This telegram, following his own re,
fusal of the Office, gave me every reason to
believe that he favored my appointment and
would not contest my nomination. Whether
was right or wrong in reaching this conelu-
sion leave the people of the county to judge
| make this brief statement only because
have learned that counter statement has
been made by some of Mr. Roberts friends.

There was large tariff reform picnic at
Liberty, Frederick county, on Thursday, and
the Frederick correspondent of the Baltimore
San says it is "beleved to be the first meet
ing of the kind ever held in the state" Three
such picnics were held in Carroll last year.
The eloquent W. P. C. Breckenridge, of
Kentucky, spoke at one, and a report of the
picnic was given considerable prominence in
all of the Baltimore dailies. Hons. Charles
B. Roberts and Frank T. Shaw made tariff
speeches at another, and Messrs. d. N. Hen
ming and b. f. Grouse spoke at these meet
ings also. They aroused deep interest
among the farmers, and set them to thinking
upon the subject of federal taxation.

The Baltimore Sun one day last week copied
approvingly an extract from the ADVOCATE
concerning primary election law, and con-
graduated the ADVOCATE upon return to
sound Democratic principles. The ADyO-
CATE has always been in favor of free and
fair primaries and honest elections, and if
the Sun will follow the ADVOCATE it will al,
ways be in the van of Democracy and will
escape the severe criticisms it has been re-
eeiving from a score or more of Democratic

willing to share with the farmer. For wear,
farmers who have used our fertilizer have had
the most fattering results, and we are more
thoroughly convinced than ever that our
Lrands are especially adapted to the soil Of
