good doctrine for Elkton in 1892, an3
as applicable to the Howard House as
1t was to the ShorehamP
And by the way, in the forum OF
zrh0Se conscience was the editor OF the
Meas then trying that case? ln MIR.
Morton's or Mr.. Bratton's, since they
evidently were not the same in 1890,
whatever they nay be in 1892.
So much for that inconsistency.
But the editor OF the Meas and he OF
the WIG can get upon the same bench
in this forum of conscience p If the
WIG will publish the genuine names
of those who figure in his weekly
Records of Public Drunkenness.
In this sublime proposition, hath
indeed another veritable Daniel come
to judgment
Publish to the land the names of the
men, the sons, the husbands, the
fathers, and the brothers, who it may
be often in bitterness of spirit resist
but finally succumb to the ever present
temptation to become drunkaIds, that
Z kind and parental State-for paltry
doliars-sets before its own weak and
erring children Publish their names,
to bring more bushes to the cheek,
cut deeper wounds, wrench harder the
heart strings, and make salter the tears
OF injured sisters and wronged wives, Of
mortified mothers and wretched daugh-
tiers and children
Noble proposition this, humane and
manly, indeed
No sir, the weekly Record published
in the WIG Is the faithful transcript Of
the police record of the town, published
without names, not as a punishment &c
the unfortunates who figure in that
record, but as the undeniable evidence
of the evils OF the licensed rum traffic
Every purpose which the editor of the
WIG seeks IN its use is accomplished
without making it the medium Of tor.
ture 10 the innocent.
1t was indeed b.issful thought that
inspired the brain of the editor of the
Meas, that it should be distorted, fol
such base uses.

Two "as a matter of course
things happened at Annapolis this
week, the election OF Mr. German to
succeed himself in the u. S. Senate,
and the selection of Mr.. Gibson as
his colleague. After Mr. Gonna n
had allowed reasonable time to be
spent in casting complimentary votes
his whip cracked and the Legislative
team carrie down to level work.
The -American says that the man
who played the best politics beyond
all question was Senator Writ. He
knew well enough that he was not
going to be elected United States
senator. To be very plain, he was
not there for that purpose. But he
looked ahead, and wisely used the
excellent opportunity to maneuver
for future position. He is one of
the foremost men in the Second
Congressional district, and, with
his youth and talent, there are broad
opportunities open to him. He has
won a great deal OF credit for playing
his cards SO well, which has been
strengthened by his prompt with
drawal, and the graceful speech
which accompanied 1t. Mr. Writ, in
short, played both ends against the
middle.

SECRETARY BLAINE ILL.

He is Attacked with Nausea and Faint
ness at IL Cabinet Meeting.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 19.-There was
some little excitement about the White
House during the Cabinet meeting this
afternoon by reason Of the sudden illness
Of Secretary Blaine. He came to the
White House about 11.45 o'clock and
seemed to be in good health, but he had
when he complained of nausea and said
he felt weak and faint.
He suggested that he bad better go
home, aud Secretary Elkirs agreed to
60 with him. They drove to NJ: Blaine 8
house in the Postmaster Generals CIR
riage, which happened to be the m Is,
convenient 1T the time, Mr.. Bl,ine's not
beng there. His regular physician VAS
soon in attendance, and Mr.. Blaine was
relieved of all feeling of nausea TIE
attack was somewhat similar to the one
of fortnight ago, but was not nearly
so serious, and yielded much more rea
lily TO treatment. To days attack WAS a
mild one, and is not likely 10 have any
serious or permanent effect.
As an indication that there is nothing
serious in Secretary Blaine attack, it
may be stated that, when he and Sec
rotary Elkins left the Cabinet meeting,
it was for the purpose of calling Oh DR..
Hyatt, Mr.. Blaine's physician, and that
brief examination showed that there
was no occasion for any alarm. AS a
matter OF prudence, however, Mr. Blaine
did not return to the Cabinet meeting,
but went to his house for the purpose of
securing quiet and rest.
Secretary Ekins reported to the
Cabinet that Mr.. Baine's illness was
thought to be temporary only, and was
not of character to justify an adjourn
ment of the meeting The result was
that the session continued uu.il 2 O clock.
The only Information obtained in regard
to the proceedings was that mo con.
clusion was reached in regard to the
Chilean matter"

Reduction of the Cooked Hat
Brigade.

The alarming intelligence comes
from Annapolis that bill has been
introduced to amend the militia law
OF the State so as to provide that the
Governors staff shall hereafter con-
sist of only twenty officers, and nine
generals besides the acknowledgement
and ten colonies. In view of the
approaching war with Chill this
wholesale reduction OF the Cover
nor's staff can not but be viewed
with grave apprehension, if not with
absolute dismay. Senator Writ, who
introduced the bill, has surely not
considered the far-reaching and dis
astrous character of the measure.
The pomp and circumstance Of
glorious war will be nowhere when
our Governors staff is reduced to
beggarly half score of generals and
to sorry array of ten colonies.
When the telegraph conveys to all
parts OF our country the ominous
news that Maryland has reduced her
large standing army of generals and
colonies to mere handful, it will
carry cold chill down the whole
length OF the national spine and
produce general decentralization and
despair. Nor does it require vivid
Imagination to picture the relief and
triumphant rejoicings which the
intelligence will excite in the hearts
OF our CHILEAN foes at the prospect
of easy victory over the United
States made possible by the with
drawal from active service of the
veterans who have distinguished
themselves in SO many public pro-
cessions, and won fame and faced
death so many times behind the
fiery and untamed steeds that draw
the civil chariots. commonly called
hacks, in our municipal parades.
When Mr.. Writ realizes the dread
full consequences OF his bill he will,
we are sure, pause in his rash and
unpatriotic course, and not deprive
his country at one fell blow of her
sturdiest and most earnest defenders
Oh, legislative woodman, spare the
Governors staff! 1t is glorious, a
noble institution, the pride and orna-
ment Of a field day, the delight of
admlring nursemaids, the envy and
model of the small boy. Take from
us all our military trappings and
pageantry, reduce even the number
of our drum majors, but spare, oh
spare our colonels!-BaAo. SIN.

AN INVENTORS DEATH.

Walter A. Wood, VINO Improved the
Reaper-Honors from Crowned Heads.
Walter Abbot Wood died Friday after
noon at his home in Hoosck Falls n. Y.
He was one of the lew Americans who
for great service rendered to humanit,
as inventors have received title and
honors from the crowned heads of
Europe. lie was born in Mason, n. H.,
Wood, was one of the early settlers in
New York State and was among the frs
to engage in the manufacture of the cast
iron plows invented by Jethoro Wood
Walter Abbot Wood as a boy had a
natural bent toward mechanics, aud he
worked in his fathers shop until be was
Hoosick Falls, N Y, and entered the
shops of Parsons & Wilder. He was
industrious and frugal.
Alter acquiring small capital he
started in business on his own account.
For long time he had devoted himself
entirely to a study of the mechanism of
farming implements, and he soon intro,
duced Nanny harvesting machines, with
Woods improvements. In the first
year of their manufacture, 1852, he sold
200 of them. He continued to improve
and invent better forms of mowers and
reapers than those that were then in the
market and in 1858 his sales amounted
to 500 m achines. This gave him a suf1i-
Gent capital to enlarge his works and to
manufacture on a scale equal to the
demand for his products. In 1869 he
sold 1000 machines, and his business
continued SO to increase that in 1884 he
placed As, 300 improved agricultul al
machines on the m arket. Since he first
started in business he had put almost
three quarters of million of improved
agricultural machines in use. Dir.
Woods inventions and improvements
ere covered by about thirty patents, here
aud abroad. His works are the most
extensive of the kind in the world. He
conducted the business a,one until 1865
when it was turned into stock company
known as the Walter A. Wood Mower
and Reaper Company, Of which he had
since been president.
NJ. Wood early recognized the impor
lance Of getting his machines into the
European markets. 1t is estimated for
many years past 80 per cent. of the agri-
cultural machines sold abroad ave been
of his manu- fracture. The value of bis
inventions has been recognized by first
prizes at the Worlds Fair in Paris in
1867, in Vienna in 1878, in Philadelphia
in 1876, and in Paris in 1878, as we'll as
by many medals at smaller fairs In
consequence of his important services to
agricu ture, he received the decoration
of the Imperial Cross of the Legion Of
Honor from the Emperor Napoleon at
the Paris Exposion of 1867 and was pro
NOTED to be an officer at the Worlds Fair
held in Paris in 1878. He was the second
American upon whom this honor has
uctu no UcutldCIOT Vi
humanity ard the first to introduce
moving machines into Europe, he re.
ceived a similar honor at Vienna in 1873
when the Emperor of Austria conferred
upon him the Cross of the Imperial
Order of Francis Joseph. He was
Representative from New York in the
Forty and Forty seventh Con-
crosses.

ELKTON, JANUARY %, 1892.
THAT MUCH NEEDED LAW.

In last weeks issue of the WING we
asked our amiable contemporary of the
Cecil County Meas to join us IN
araying relief at the hands of the
present Legislature from the pregnant
evils affecting every community In this
county, under the present licensed
liquor traffic, by asking the passage of
a law resubmitting the question Of
license to its qualified voters at an
earlier date than that provided in the
present law.
The suggestion of this act on our
part, was contained In an editorial Of
the Meas, urging the Importance of a
law compelling husband to support
his wife, and the necessity of which
was emphasized by the pathetic appeal
OF its editor in behalf of poor, neglected
and deserted, wives and children.
We conceded the frequency of such
cases OF wrong and desertion by I'M
worthy husbands, and attributed-we
believe to the right cause-drunkenness
-tostered and encouraged under the
present license system, -tenths of
such cases of neglect and desertion.
To our proposition thus made in
good faith, our contemporary replies,
. that the Meas has never committed
itself on the temperance question, and
hat if the WING in its Record of Public
runkenness, twill publish the genuine
~ mes of the parties, we will not only
him in circulating the petitions,
- whea they are signed will carry
them to Annapolis and use all our
personal influence, whatever that may
be, with Senator Writ to persuade him
to urge the passage of law resubmit-
ting the question to the voters of the
county at the general election next
FALL"
We propose to consider temporarily
and briefly, the propositions embraced
in the reply OF the MeWS, not assuming
the responsibility for any inconsistent
ties of editorial utterance, in which
they may involve its editor.
As to the first proposition, that the
Meas has never committed itself edi-
torially on the temperance question,
but to use its own language believes,
"that this question must be settled by
every man in the forum OF his own
conscience )" does its editor recall how
