BENNETT TO THE FRONT.
ga Public Office is a Public Trust. .

Written for the Democratic Advocated
Mr.. Benefits magnificent record in the
senate so clearly entities him to denomination
that the people, trusting to that love of justice
which has ever characterized the Democratic
party, have not thought il necessary to urge
his claims Recent developments, however,
seem TO indicate that some thoughtless per-
sons, aided it may be by few interested
politicians, are attempting to balk the will of
the people: striving to do n thing which it
done will create dissatisfaction and discord,
at a time when harmony was never more
essential.
As to the gentlemen who are willing to
take Mr.. Benefits place we have nothing to
say, except that they are Democrats, and,
as such, are entitled to fair treatment and
respectful consideration. Let them have it.
But the Democratic party has something else
to consider besides the personal wishes of
few of her members.
To nominate new man would be to try
an experiment. Weare almost in the presence
Of Il national contest; success is important.
This is therefore no time for experiments.
Mr.. Bennett has been tested and found
worthy; he has been found equal to all emer-
gencies. When corporation like some
gigantic octopus embraced Baltimore city in
its Shiny and deadly tentacles, and she lay
helpless and calling for aid, Mr.. Bennett
sprang to her rescue and with other right
hearted senators, he wrought for her, by day
and by night, until the proud old city could
rise and shake off her tormentor. For this
he has the lasting gratitude of Baltimore. If
labor was oppressed and poor men groaned
under the weight of unequal taxation, Mr..
Bennett stood forth the champion of Justice
and mercy. If capital needed increased leg
islation to facilitate trade and commerce,
with comprehensive intelligence, he was
ready to befriend it.
Himself farmer, he was the vigilant and
faithful guardian of the farmers interests;
and without sacrificing single article of
Democratic faith, he so honorably and so
fairly sought to advance the interests of hus-
bandry, that he is today not only popular
with the agricultural elements of his own
party, but with the Alliance men of all shades
of political feeling.
In private life an aflable, open hearted
gentleman; in public life the exemplilication
of Cleveland's mottu-''a public office is
public trust" With the faith of Tilden, the
political purity of Hendricks, and incorrupt-
ible as Washington. No wonder that not
only Carroll county, but Baltimore city and
the State of Maryland are interested in his
denomination and election. No wonder that
the people should become indignant and NUT
ter and grow restless at the thoughtless efforts
of those who would supplant him. "Let us
have peace" "let us have JUSTICE Let
us have Bennett. NIGuO.

The Eagle and the Rooster.
From the N. Y. sun.

Under the provisions of the new election
law which the Cleveland Democratic Conyen.
ton commended the Ohio Legislature for
passing, and under which it declared that
| ''every voter in Ohio can cast his ballot, in
secret, as he desires, an essential feature of
the ballots in that state this year is distin-
gushing emblem, to be selected by each party
nominating candidates.
At the convention in Columbus which put
up William Mckinley for Governor the Re.
pubicans selected the American eagle, the
proud bird of Freedom, as the symbol Of their
party. Recognized for centuries as the EN-.
blem of despotic power and authority, the
eagle was in the days Of the Roman republic
the standard of the legions which earned
triumph on thousand battleGeds Popular
in Germany, Austria and Poland, it perpet-
uated in France the military glories of the
Napoleonie era, and in each of the countries
named, and in Russia besides, it is the ac-
credited and accepted national bird on the
coat Of arms and the standards, Indeed,
England is the only one of the great European
powers which does not formally acknowledge
the vigor and prowess of the biggest of wild
fowl, whose searching glance can withstand
even the dazzling radiance of the MONDAY
sun. In the United States the eagle has
always been regarded rs the emblem of
patriotism. As such, its outlines have been
freely stamped on the coins of the republic.
and no American schoelboy needs TO be told
that the eagle is a fighting bird, dangerous
when rulled, vigorous in conflict, sleepIess,
patient, lusty and game. There are no flies
on the eagle, and his voice is not musical!
The Democrats Of Ohio last Wednesday
selected as their emblem the barnyard rooster.
a domestic animal of strident lungs but un.
pretentious manners, and not equipped by
nature, science or training successfully 10 en-
counter the eagle at short range. But the
rooster IS a game bird, undiplomatic and
intrepid, always ready for an antagonist of his
own size, or larger, and accustomed TO have
his supremacy acknowledged, or to know the
reason why.
The eagle suggests patriotism; the rooster
suggests utility. The former is a patrician.
living in an eyrie away from human habita.
ton, and little concerned with mundane mat
ters. The latter is a Democrat, always to be
found pretty close 10 the granary, and taking
hustling part in all farmyard affairs. The
rooster is born home ruler, and therefore
true Democrat, whereas the eagle represents
nobody IN particular, and is feast popular
where he is best known.

The grain crop has been taken care Of, and
some have been threshing ont their crops.
The yield and quality are both satisfactory,
as far as we have heard.
Making hay is the principal order now,
when the weather will permit.
The recent rains have played havoc with
our country roads, which has helped to make
travelling in many places very tedious and
unpleasant.
Corn is looking extra fine for this time of
year, and the potato crop will be the best for
many years if nothing happens to it.
The apple crop is exceptionally large, and
hundreds Of bushels will certainly go to waste.
VIM. Hook has put up hay barraek, and
so has G. j. Shipley.
The Zion Sabbath School will hold their
festival on the Sth of August.

Carroll County Sunday School Convention.

Carroll County Sunday School Convention.
1t has been arranged to hold Sunday
School Convention for this county, under the
auspices of the Maryland Sunday School
Union, at Taneytown, Saturday and Sunday,
August ! and 2. There will be a preliminary
meeting on Friday night, July 81. The indica
tiohs are favorable for large and enthusiastic
gathering of Sunday School workers from all
parts of the county. The people of the town
are making ample preparations for their en-
tertainment.
These conventions are useful in arousng
greater public interest in Sunday School
work, in awakening teachers to a more en-
larged sense ofresponsibility and greater zeal,
in giving spiritual emphasis to the cause, and
quickening all lines Of religious work. They
are conducted in spirited manner, the ad-
dresses are brief and instructive, and the dis.
cussions pithy. Live and experienced Sun
day School workers from a distance will
be present to assist the delegates to make
the convention success.
The union character of these conventions
is an admirable feature, and serves to render
them popular and effective. The members of
the different denominations who attend lay
aside their differences, sectarianism vanishes.
and in a spirit of unity they mingle and talk
and sing and pray, and devise means for the
greater advancement of the common cause.
The schools have been notified to send two
delegates each, and it is hoped there will be
a general response.

that sprouted wheat will not bring full prices,
