upon the board by the act Of Congress,
which entities them to act as members on
the iuries Of award for " all exhibits which

female labor" This privilege has been
greatly enlarged by the recent action OK
the Board of Control; it is one OF the most
highly-prized and jealously guarded rights
of the Women's Board, and they Will avail
themselves of it to the fullest extent.

The Ticket.

The ticket nominated by the Democratic
convention on Monday last is one of great
strength, and one calculated to bring out the
full party vote in November. From top to
bottom it is unusually strong, and 1t would be
difficult to select one more popular, OF higher
character, of greater capacity, or more ac-
ceptable to the party. Most of the candidates
have served in the places for which they are
nominated. and their careers have been
marked with fidelity to duty and efficiency.
The others are gentlemen well qualified Tor
the offices for which they are presented, and
the people of Carroll of all creeds who are
interested in good local government should
feel gratilied that the majority party has pre-
scented so capable ticket, and thus gwen Il
guarantee of excellent management of local
affairs.
Il remains now for the party to stand sol
idly together and give the ticket handsome
majority. The party ought to set their figures
at four hundred and be satisfied with nothing
less. 1t can be given, and with the registra-
ton of voters properly looked after and an
earnest canvass these figures can be easily
reached
An active campaign ought 10 be prose
cuted Public meetings should he held in
every district, and the party aroused to the
importance of polling the largest majority
possible. Not only is the ticket worthy the
earnest support of everybody interested IN
good and economical administration of state
and local governments, but the contest this
year is preliminary to that of 1892, and IT is
the duty of every Democrat, and of every
voter who is opposed to excessive taxation as
imposed by the Mckinley law, and Federal
interference in state elections, as proposed 10y
the Lodge Force bill, to record in advance
his condemnation of such oppressive and I'M
constitutional and wicked measures, by rolling
up an unprecedented majority for the Demo
cratic ticket The elections this year viii
have great bearing on the result next year
A decreased majority would be depressing
upon the party at home and abroad, while al
increased vote would be encouraging to Dem
ocrats everywhere, and serve to nerve thea
in states where the4xNls heretofore have beer
against them.
Let not over confidence prevail The
rather let us be up and doing, and cease no
until the polls close in November.

County Commissioner David Stoner has
been renominated for fifth term. No other
commissioner in recent years, even if in the
history of the county, has served four consec-
ulive terms. and his denomination for another
term is a derserved compliment TO careful
and prudent officer, who devotes nearly his
whole time to the business of his office. His
long service has given him a familiarity with
the duties of the position and with the roads,
bridges and finances of the county which can
only be gained by such experience. His
nomination has always come from the people.
He never sought the paee-the people
sought him, and will likely continue to seek
him so long as he gives them the excellent
service he has been rendering.

The Youngest and the Oldest.

When Carroll county WAS first formed,
fifty -four years ago, in her first delegation to
the House of Delegates was one of the
eountys brightest and most popular young
men. He was the youngest member but
made a creditable record. Some years after
he went to Washington, d. c., where he
arose to distinction and accumulated com
Portable fortune. Some five or six years ago
he fitted up a nice home in the land of his
birth and returned to Carroll to pass the
balance of his days, though he still spends the
winters in Washington. Last Monday he
was renominated for the same position he
filled so acceptably more than half century
ago. He is now seventy-six years of age.
In his first term he was the youngest mem
Der; in the next House he will doubtless be
the oldest. He is a gentleman still active,
of fine presence, of large ability and good
speaker. He will do credit to his county and
render bis native state valuable service. We
refer TO Col. James G. Berret, who will rank
with the first men in the House. He has
been Mayor of Washington, and held other
positions of honor and trust, but he does not
consider it beneath his dignity TO go to the
House of Delegates. The rather, he will
consider it as much an honor now to be
chosen to represent his county there as he
did when he was young man and unknown.

Probable War in Europe.

The situation in Europe is more threaten
ing now than it has been since the Franco
Prussian war. Germany is impressed with
the belief that France is ripe for war and
bent upon retaining ceLorraine, and
that hostilities may begin at any time. The
French sentinelS on the frontier, it is said,
have become arrogant toward Germans who
cross the line, and refuse sometimes even 10
look at passports, driving the Germans back
at the point of the bayonet, A similar dis
position has displayed itself recently among
French customs officers, and all the conduct
of the French points to a willingness to pro
woke a crisis by the maltreatment Of German
subjects. Emperor William has ordered the
! garrisons on the French border to be strength
I ened, and Russia and Austria are both mass
| ing troops on their frontiers. The former
will take advantage of the first opportunity
to further her schemes to the south and Aus
tra is apprehensive that her interests will
suffer unless she is prepared to defend them.
| Altogether the situation is threatening, and a
very small spark would fire all Europe.

In speech at Montpelier, Vermons on
Tuesday, in the course of speech President
Harrison said--''If we shall ever or anywhere
allow doubt to settle into the minds Of our
people whether the results -four elections are
honestly attained. = + e then is withdrawn
all respect from the rnlers who by a false bal
lot are placed in public Office" It is quite
possible that some of his auditors may have
recalled the theft of 1S76-77, the purchase of
1880 and the ''blocks of five purchase of
Dudley in 1885. They may have recalled,
too, the special efforts of Mr.. Harrison to Sc
cure the passage of the Force bill, measure
to control elections in the interest of the Re.
publican party, and by force of the bayonet,
if necessary.

The Constitutional Amendments.
NO l.

In another part of the ADVOCATE will be
found a proclamation by Governor jackson,
laying before the people, for their considera-
ton, six proposed amendments to the Con-
stitution of the state, upon which they will
be called to vote in November. Every voter
should read them carefully, and fully acquaint
himself with them in order to vote intelli
gently.
The ADVOCATE has promised to discuss
them, and to aid its readers in reaching proper
conclusions, and today takes up the first OF
them.
This proposed amendment simply gives to
the governor the power to veto items
of appropriation bills. Under the Constitu-
ton, as it now stands, the governor can APP
prove or disapprove a bill in its entirety as it
is presented to him.
The veto power has been recently criticised
as un.republican, because it places in the
hands of one man the power to thwart the
will the majority. And at first glance it
does seem an anomaly in republic, where
the office of the executive is administrative.
Still the trainers of the government thought
it wise to put check upon unwse, hasty or
vicious legislation by giving to the President
of the United States the power to veto meas
ures, but also provided that the Congress
could repass the act by two-thirds vote
Here is another anomaly in our republic,
whose corner stone is majority rule. A ma
iority cannot override Veto two thirds
vote is required.
Every state, however, engrafted n similar
provision in its constitution. As to the vetoes
of the governors of states, public intorma-
ton is not accurate and complete, but as 10
Presidential vetoes the information is full,
and there are few who d. not concede that
the veto power has been exercised with great
discretion and to the public good. In very
few instances has the attempt been made to
override vetoes, and the successful attempts
have been fewer still. In only one instance
has the country been seriously divided on the
propriety of Presidential veto, and that
was the veto of the United States Bank Char
ter By President jackson.
In some states the governor has been given
the power to veto items of appropriation bills
and its wisdom has been so abundantly de-
monstrated that its adoption by all the states
is only question of time.
Should the proposed amendment be adopt
ed, as it ought to be, legislatures will hest
tate to insert items in appropriation bills
that are of doubtful constitutionality or o
doubtful necessity. The enlargement of the
veto power proposed in this amendment vii
result in decreased expenditures if wisely ant
fearlessly used, and destroy the opportunit.
for jobs and schemes that could have nj
) standing in separate bills. The executive i
now constrained to pass over objectiona
items in appropriation bills. TO veto then
would leave the state without the necessar!
means to carry on the government or neces
state an extra session of the Legislature.
The amendment ought to be adopted.

Cecil county Republicans are divided, one
faction being known as the Stalwarts and the
other as the half Breeds This division has
existed for some years, and the latter have
controlled the party recently. At the last
primaries Robert Thackeray, a Stalwart, stole
q march ON the Half Breeds, and carried
enough districts to hold the balance of power.
When the convention met he and Hall
Breed leader struck bargain and made a
ticket Thaekeray going on the ticket himself
and giving some of the best places to his
friends. The factions are now warning again,
and the Half Breed organ, the Appeal, has
not put the ticket at the head of It's columns
and is discussing everything but politics.
