His Tongue was Dry and He Couldn't
Articulate.
A line of stalwart 'longshoremen
were loading truck with coffee in
bags on the Brazil line dock the other
day while clerk stood on box taking
tally of them as they reached the dock.
Each man as he passed with bag on
his head called out: zone, two. three, .
for the clerk to tally by. When the
'longshore1nan with bag No. 5 came
along he glanced behind at his follower
with q mischievous smile and said:
Tally fi-f-fi-five.. The stammering
had its intended effect. The porter
with the next bag, who had an unfor-
tunate impeachment in his speech, broke
down completely. What he said
sounded something like this: isis Sis
sis-ah-sis," then a thrill whistle and
''sis-sis" again, accompanied by extra
ordinary contortions of the face. He
kept it up for a minute and then
walked to the truck with the bag,
dumped it off his head and came back
to the clerk. After stamping the ground
and slapping his sides he finally ejacu-
lated: Italy sis-sis-six for me-" After
getting out the fateful word he turned
on his tormentor and called him hard
names by the yard and wound up by
telling the boss stevedore who stood
near: 81 want to quit stammer"
Eyes," said the stevedore, 81 notice
it. Giving him a coin, he said; go
lubricate and hurry back to work.

dyspepsia, liver troubles and troublesome
coughs. wilkins had plenty of money, and
decided TO travel for his health. Watkins

Free Passes.

Mr.. Laird, of the Maryland House
of Delegates, introduced a bill to
abolish free passes to members of the
Legislature, which was reported ad-
versely on by the judiciary commit
tee and the report was sustained BY
the House. 1t has always been our
opinion that the State ought to fur
nish transportation for the members
of the Legislature between their
homes and the capitol once week
and the transportation paid for out
of the State treasury as their salaries
are, but in place of paying to the
members let the fares be paid to the
railroad by the State officer whose
duty it is to transanct such business.
The Anticipated mileage perquisite
should be abolished.

Mr.. Groves presented petition t,

Mr.. Groves presented a petition to
the House of Delegates on Tuesday
from one hundred members of Cecil
Grange No. 3, asking for law
authorizing the State topurchase the
interest of the private stockholders
in the Maryland Agricultural College
and to reorganize the board Of trus-
tees. The petitioners ask that some
ssdecisive measures be taken to res
cue the college from it's present per-
ilous and embarrassing conditions,
whereby its usefulness to the agri-
cultural community may be promoted
and increased" This they think can
be accomplished in the way they ask
and by following out Governor Jack
sons recommendations in his mes
sage, by reducing the number OF
trustees by emitting come of the ex
officio members and decreasing the
representation of the stockho lders
A similar petition was received from
the Easton Farmers Alliance. Sim
liar petitions we're also presented
from Rising Sun Alliance.

Mr.. Blaine i'm North American
Review

Hon. James q. Blaine writes an ar
ticlc for the North American Review
that is receiving attention from news
papers and politicians far and wide, as
whatever Mr.. Blaine writes for the pub
lie is APT 10. Mr.. Blaine gives attention
To the letters of acceptance Of the Two
leading presidential candidates com
mcnding llarrison's for ills comprehen-
sivcuess and its elearncss. lie criticizcS
Mr.. Cleycland's letter rs wide in its
departure from the party platform
stating that in fact, Mr.. cleveland has
made the platform upon which he stands
now before the peoble. His departure
from the position of his party's plat
form on the question of free trade, he
SAYS confirms the impression which
has been general. that large portion of
the Democratic party believe in lrotec-
ton in some form.
Mr. Blaine is very full and explicit in
his treatment oi the subject of Reel
procity showing that a material in
crease has been caused in the United
States trade by reciprocal treaties Wit
the islands aud American countries. Is
well as with European countries.
We quote from the article the follow
ing
I'm vainit is pointed ont that the po-
Sition Of jefferson on any subject WAS
directly tha reverse of the Democratic
position; he is duly quoted at the neNi
conventions and Il new oat'i of allegiance

only proportioned to the nc,">-iteS of
the country. His action in l>d1. when
he declined to recommend the repeal or
alteration of the Revenue law after a
surplus of fourteen millions had been
accumulated puts him in the sharpest
contrast to Mr.. Cleveland, who, in his
term of office, treated the surplus ac-
cumuatcd rs the sum of all villanicS. =
In conclusion Mr.. Blaine calls attention
to the essential agreement of the Two
parties on the great majority of issltcs
1t is interesting and suggestive, he SAYS
"to look over the platforms OF the two
parties and see how much alike they
