A GOOD PAPER.

In this age, in addition to the local
paper. at least one good comprehen-
sive newspaper from the outside world
is a necessity. The Baltimore Sun is
to-day the Oldest and most reliable
recorder of the happenings OF this sec
ton of the country. 1t is essentially

straightforward and unbiased faith

way for sentimental matter of doubt

Upon the restoration of the Demo-
cratic party to power there will be a
vast amount of Democratic news to
PRINT and the Sun having special facil-
tiles for obtaining this news, will give
it unabridged to its patrons.
1t is most Systematically conduct
ed and well managed paper. Com-
plete and reliable market reports, es-
pecially the cattle, produce aud grain
markets, are special features, noted
for accuracy.
The Weekly Sun is unsurpassed as
an agricultural paper. Besides the
news of the week its agricultural,
poultry and veterinary departments are
full of suggestions of value to the
farmer. sl.00 is the price of years

The cholera is again gaining ground
in Hamburg, and the Inflated city
seems likely to be afflicted with anoth-
er epidemic Of the dreadful disease.
In view of this our own quarantine
problem should be settled as soon as
possible. 1t will not be wise to begin
the summer with a sanitary or consti-
tutional dispute between the health au-
thorities of the State and nation.

At this season of the year Young
America taketh his skates upon his
back and hieth himself away to the
nearest ice-pond; there to while away
the hours in healthful sport. But when
he returneth home late in the evening
and is persuaded to accompany stern
father upon a whaling voyage to the
woodshed, he arriveth at the conclu-
sion that life is none too sweet after
all.

THE STORMY ATLANTIC.

Whoever is not compelled to cross
the Atlantic at this season may count
himself fortunate.
For two or three weeks now the
whole sea between America and Eu-
rope has been the scene of terrific
storms. Every vessel, whether COM
ing or going, makes the same report.
The stanch and powerful ocean liners
endure, without yielding. wonderful
amount of battering Ia the opinion
of some it is impossible for one Of
these modern vessels to founder even
if her machinery breaks down: but
this is something which it would not
be wise to maintain too positively.
Perhaps the power of old ocean has
never yet been measured at its maxi
mum.
But irrespective of the question of
getting through safely to the end of
ones journey, anything ike comfort
of body or mind is wholly improbable
during such voyage as any of sever
al recently reported. Even the veter-
an mariners, trained as they are to
pity poor folks on land, can get no
satisfaction out of these VOYAGES ex.
cept that of being alive in spite of
their rough experiences.

The Worlds Fair will be formally
opened on May l, because the law has
so decreed. Tie announcement that
the Fair would not be in good running
order at the start was superfuous. No
great exposition has ever been born

the act of opening will doubtless tend
to expedite matters. To paraphrase
the words of Horace Greedy respecting
the resumption of specie payment, il
may be truly said that "the way tc

81 do not suppose this world looks

in a saloon. Quinlan ran out, followed by
O'Del, who kept shooting. Some thought
one shot was fred in the saloon, others
thought three, yet all were looking right

1t is ll2 years since the revolution
airy war was ended; but there are still
on the pension list twenty widows of
Revolutionary soldiers. AS the num-
Der of soldiers engaged in the war of
the Revolution was not in proportion
of one to a hundred compared to those
who were enlisted in the late rebellion,
this fact furnishes a hint of the pros
pect of future pension payments. 1t
is burden that will remain for hun
bred years. This consideration makes
it of the first importance that original
pensions should go into the hands of
deserving soldiers only, and that the
lists shoald be revised so as to cut off
all others. In laying the foundation
for payments that may extend even to
the end of the next century too much
care cannot be observed.

HOW Is THIS 2

Bob" Dalton, one Of the notorious
Dalton gang which made the desperate
robber-raid on the town of Coffeeville,
in Kansas, last October, when several
of their number were killed, has been
made deputy United States marshal
He is one Of the worst characters in
Testing the Western country and more
deserves to be an outlaw than al Off
Ger of the Government. How it comes
about that he is appointed, as if to give
him better opportunity to prosecute
his revenges on the upholders of law
and order, is mystery to honest citi-
zens.
He must have received his dignity
through the action of the United States
Marshal of the district. That this Off
Ger could have been imposed upon in
respect of so noted parsonage appears
scarcely credible. But it is equally in
credible that he would deliberately APP
point a person of such character and
association to the Government service
This is matter which Attorney
General Miller ought to probe. But
there are SO many things which he
ought to do and neglects doing that

shot the Tomatoes.

The family had stewed tomatoes for
dinner and one of the diners found some
thing round and hard in spoonful of the
vegetable. 1t turned out to be drop of
solder that had fallen in when the can
was being sealed. II was shown to the
baby with the explanation that it was a
pretty little bullet. Then the baby, who
happens to be boy of about four years
and very much interested in guns, looked
up and asked:

for the Republican organs to attribute

causing his defeat aud at the same time
electing Bard. whose name was first on the
ticket.

A WELCOME GIFT.
Mr.. Gibbs Present to the
EpisCopaiians.
1t Is Theological Seminary, Which
Will Be Located at San
Mateo.

The Episcopalian church of California is
to have a theological seminary, and, thanks
to the generosity Of George W. Gibbs of this
city, it viii be located in the pretty little
village of San Mateo.
A few years ago Mr.. Gibbs purchased a
piece OF improved property on the north
side of San Mateo and ted il to the
Bishop Armtage Church Orphanage for
Boys, San Francisco corporation, the pur-
chase price being $4,000. A year ago the
accommodations were inadequate to shelter
the large number of orphans which had
been admitted to the Institution. and Mr..
Gibbs came TO the Iesene by purchasing, at
an expense of $4,000, the Laurel Hall Col
iege property, on the south side of the vii
lage. which be presented to the orphanage,
with the understanding that his original
gift would be returned.
At the meeting of the Armitage directors
in this city Tuesday afternoon the old home
was decided back to Mr.. Gibbs, when he in
formed bis friends that he would transfer it
TO the Episcopal church for the purpose
noted above.
The Episcopal church has available for
the support of the seminary the Eastman
fund Of SAC, eco. in addition 10 which Assist.
ant Bishop William +. Nichols has a gift
from an Eastern cEurchman of $4,000 for
founding a professoTship.
Prior to this the income from the Eastman
fund has been used in assisting young men
who desired to enter the Episcopal ministry
In securing their theological education, and
about six candidates for the priesthood
have been sent East every year to Nashotah
and other schools. to the great detriment of
the church In this State. as most OF these
young men remained there after graduating
and were lost to the work in California
The establishment of theological SEM
mary has been looked forward TO with fond
hopes by the churchmen of our State for
years past, and this donation by Mr.. Gibbs
makes 1t possible at an early day. Assistant
Bishop Nichols is now absent in Southern
California, and when he returns some
definite action will be taken looking toward
the early opening of the new school
