and, as II natural consequence, reduce the
price Of cotton u the lowest point. The
farmers must take ont their pencils and

We are strongly Of the opinion that, when

consistent with his character; it is wholly
consistent with his refusal to go to the dcdi-

check their babies like an umbrella
or cane, and they say that the
charge will be moderate aud the
nurse efficient. But all OF this
remains to be seen.
There seems to be an independent
move on foot in political circles in
Baltimore for this Fall, and from
the present outlook it seems az
though it wonld be a more formi-
dable step than any previous one.
With Pinkney White, Collector of
the Port; A. Leo Knott, Postmas-
ter and Mr.. Philip Laird, Collector
of Internal Revenue, no doubt
many heretofore regulars would
gladly rally TO the independent
banner. Moreover, Cleveland seems
to have infused an independent
political air throughout the country
and the people generally have a.
sakened to the fact that they have
been suffering under a very unnec-
cessary and heavy yoke and have
concluded to throw it of.
Will old st. Mary's respond to
the general call, or will she again
humbly submit to one man conven-
tions: Let us hope that she will
be one of the first to the front in
the great work of purging the pol
itics Of the country. To accom-
plish this she must discard the
bosses, and let the true voice of the
people be heard and let them fight
for the general good and not for
the individual profit of a favored
few.
The interests of this country are
so varied that unless all are repre-
sented, some must flourish at the
expense of others. II each branch
of numerous industries have a voice
in our government, necessarily the
advantages must be impartially
distributed, but when we depend
on a few professional politicians to
arrange the ways of our government,
we have of all our many interests
but one represented that of the
politician.
To-day We bid adieu to tickle
April, not unwillingly, for with the
exception of a few bright, warm
days, she has given us weather of
which even March might justly have
been ashamed. With the coming
of May look forward to season
of warm, sunshiny weather, and
predict for the farmers good crops
and good luck.

The Baltimore Sun is shedding
its most malignant rays upon what
it denominates a little "coterie of
editors" who have seen fit to find
fault with the San. The criticisms
of these country editors, says the
Sun, "don't hurt the Sun" yet the
fact remains that their utterances
have elected q twelve inch deliv-
erance in the SUMS editorial column
which demonstrates that something
has been said by somebody which
does hurt the San and over which
the Sun is sore. Had our esteemed
contemporary gone on in the even
tenor of its way and paid no atten-
ton to the alleged attacks upon it
and its course, the general verdict
would have been that it was not
hurt, but its exhibition of temper in
its editorial of Tuesday last, re-
minds one forcibly of the old story
of the fox's encounter with the wild
cat. After the fray, the rabbit
asked the fox if the cat hurt him.
"No, Br'er Rabbit" was the reply,
"dat creetur didn't hut me. but
some awdacious william hit me wild a
reapfn-hook." Hinc lilac lachrymGe.
We think the San great news
paper, and having no controversy
with it take the liberty of express
ing the friendly opinion that its
Tuesdays editorial was a childish
exhibition of i'll temper.

Chicago now succeeds New York
as the centre of interest, and on the
shores of Lake Michigan tomorrow
the curtain will be lifted from the
grandest spectacle of peaceful tri-
umph that the world has ever be-
held. All nations will be represent

result of their achievements in the

reveal to the world the inventive
genius and indomitable energy of
the Western Republic.
The Maryland building compares

The exterior in style of architecture
represents the idea of an old colon

will be fine display of the indus

building is complete in every detail,
