Return Of the Drummer"

No feature of the "fnan cial
stringency" which has been preva.
lent without good reason through
out the country, has been more
painfully noted than the temporary
disappearance from their accus-
toned places of the commercial
travellers. 1t is not alone that the
absence of the "traveling man"
has been regarded as chad sign"
but his personality and his patron
age have been missed. The hotels
aid marts and ways of trade have
seemed dull and silent without him.
The past void is more apparent
tl.an before, now that the CONNER
cial traveller is coming back again,
and his voice is heard in the Offices
and corridors of the hotel, and his
bold signature again adorns- the
register. Everybody is encouraged
and believes that the stormy sky of
business is about to clear. The
"panic" or whatever has been the
difficulty, is disappearing. The
drummer" appears like the swal-
lows-the 'harbinger of spring"
This belief IN returning conf
dence is well founded. The ther-
mometer and barometer are not
more lnfallible indicators in their
line than the commercial traveller is

the ayant courier of business. He
announces the commencing of bust

1t is well, then, that the travellers
have begun to travel again; their
appearance is sure indication of
the revival of public confidence

the basis of business; of civilization,
even. The missionary of commerce

occurred. Who knows but that this
empty honor was intended as
means by which Mr.. Chas. Miller,
of Accident, an avowed candidate
for position in the Internal Rev.
enue Service, was to be shelved.
Time will tell.
In the second place, Mr.. Samuel
johnson, who was so ingloriously
defeated in the convention, was
placed on the ticket as a substitute
for Mr.. Miller. Mr.. johnson,
however, not relishiug the idea of
playing second fiddle, even for his
own dearly-lOyed party, promptly
rendered his resignation TO the
State Central committee. When
the news reached Oakland there
was "a-hustln" and "a-gettin"
together of the wiseacres of the
machine, and at last a delegation
was appointed to wait upon Capt.
E. NJ. Friend to ascertain whether
or not he were willing to jump into
the breach and save the name and
the credit of the party; haH~gpon
the delegation reaching Friendsville
and waiting upon the gallant captain
they found that he too was loathe
to play third fiddle in this amusing
drama. Nothing daunted, how
ever, and realizing the desperate
situation in which the grand old
ship of Democracy was placed by
these repeated destinations, the
delegation, we are informed, ten
dered the nomination to Mr. Reese
E. Friend, who also declined wit h
thanks. BY this time it became
evident that something had to be
done, and that unless some one
consented to be led as IA lamb to the
slaughter there would be a headless
ticket in the field. In desperation
! Mr.. William Frederick, sr., of
Friendsville, was sought out and
after the glories of political career
IN the Maryland Senate had been
fully explained and amplifed, Mr..
Frederick consented to run. Now
comes the information, the credi-
bllity of which, however, we do not
vouch for, that Mr.. Frederick too
is considering the ACCESSIBILITY of
Withdrawing and giving another
opportunity to CARROTS Solons of
Democracy of selecting someone
who will stand and who knows
when he does stand that he intends
to be candidate.
The rout of our political adyer-
saries, horse, foot and Dragon, is
complete.
This is a Republican year in
Garrett county, and the ticket
placed in nomination by our friends
will be triumphantly elected.

THE PULSEOF TRADE
Is Becoming Normal at the Various
Commercial Centers.


NEW YORK, Oct. 7.-There is no
occasion whatever for INDUCING
feeling of Encouragement. While
it. is true that we have passed
through an extraordinary, If not
unprecedented, period of business
adversely, which may still have not
completely run its course, it is
equally that signs of recovery are
multiplying daily, and at the
worst is over. Towards the close of
the year It is not possible that some
inconvenience may be experienced
in business circles by the accumu-
lation of obligations resulting from
extensions made in August and
September There is also fear
that after the Worlds Fair is over
the consequences of over expansion
in real estate and other directions
will be more severely felt than now.
But all of these fears are at present
unduly exaggerated by the nervous
and discouraged condition of bust
ness men, who frequently attach too
much weight to the drawbacks and
too little to the Improvements. The
number of manufacturing estab-
lishments daily starting steadily ex-
ceeds the number of shutdowns.
Unquestionably there are many
thousands less of the unemployed
than a mouth ago.
If it be SAID that wages are being
reduced, it may be said that the
majority of these reductions have
been about ten per cent; and as
wages have been unusually high
and the majority of the necessities
of life unprecedentedly low, such a
moderate reduction as this cannot
inhlct real hardshi p upon the labor
ing classes. At most it will only
deprive them of a few of the luxu-
ries and pleasures which can be
benefcially dispensed with More
over, the reductions in wages will
put many manufacturers on bet
ter basis for meeting foreign COM
petition when a general reduction
of the tariff is in order, and thus in
the long run establish them upon a
frmer foundation. Much of the
fear about tariff revision is wholly
unnecessary, for revenue necessities
will prevent any radical changes,
and few appear to be contemplated
except in the WOODEN and iron
schedules. Uncertainty will do
more harm than the actual changes,
and business men will do well to
impress upon their representatives
at Washington the necessity of ex-
ercisiLg all reasonable dispatch in
arriving at a decision concerning
what shall be done, giving ample
time for adjustment to the new con-
ditlons. This would immensely
lessen present anxiety about the

IT SEEMS that the Democrats of
Garrett county are having a hard
time to secure candidate for the
Senate who is willing or has the
nerve to contest with the young and
gallant hustler that the Republicans
nave nominated for that position.
In the first place, designedly or
otherwise, Mr.. William Miller. of
Accident, was nominated by the
convention, who was ineligible by
reason of his youth. 1t seems ex-
tremely queer that the convention,
made up in part by law makers and
lawyers, should have been ignorant
of the constitutional provision
which requires a Senator to be at
least twenty-five years of age, but
as the ways, means and objects of
the ordinary Democratic conven-
ton are past finding out, it is not

A British Example.

The English House of Commons
once had to deal with m emergency
like that which now confronts the
majority in the Senate. In 1881
the Irish members were filibustering
against the introduction of coer-
clon act. They had the support of
a number of members of English
Rad Gals, led by Henry Labouchere.
The situation in parliamentary
aspect closely resembles the present
one in the Senate. The Irish
members, like the silver senators,
were indifferent to public opinion
except that of their own constitu-
ents. The Radicals were mutineers
like the southers silver senators
from their party management.
There was continuous session of
the House for forty-one hours.
Parnell, Healy, Labouchere, Justin
Mccarthy and others, under the
rules allowing repeated motions for
amendment and adjournment, kept
on with debate. Mr.. Bigger was
on the floor, when the filibustering
was suddenly brought to an end by
the speaker. lnterrupting Mr..
Biggar. he said:
ga necessity has arisen which
demands the lnterposition of the
chair. The usual rule has been
found powerless to insure orderly
debate. An important measure,
declared to be urgent in the interest
of the state by decisive majority,
has been impeded by the action of
an inconsiderablo minority of mem
bers, who haye resorted to those
modes of obstruction which have
been recognized by the House as a
parliamentary offense. The credit
and authority of this House are
seriously threatened; the legislative
powers of the House are paralyzed. "
The speaker then put the ques-
ton. Mr.. Mccarthy rose to speak =,
but the speaker refused to hear him.
The vote began. The Irish mem
bers kept shouting privilege" but
no heed was paid to them and they
left the House in q body. The
authority assumed by the speaker
was subsequently vested in him by
rule of the House, which says that
when measure is declared to be
urgent by minister of the crown
the powers of the House for
the regulation Of its business
shall be vested in the speaker,
for the purpose of proceeding
with such bill, motion, or other
question.
The acquisition by the House of
power of compelling the dispatch
of business turned out to be very
advantageous to the Irish members.
Without such power of enabling
the majority to rule, the recent
passage of the Home Rule bill could
not have been accomplished.

Whore tho Snake Boards.

Tho prairie marmot and the burrowing
owl come into neighborly contact with the
rattlesnake, but the acquaintance does not
quite amount to friendship. The prairie
marmOt takes n lot of trouble and builds a
nice burrow, and then the owl, who is only
n slovenly sort of architect himself, comes
along and takes apartments. 1t has never
been quite settled whether or not the lodpcr
and the landlord agree pleasantly together,
but in the absence Of any positive evidence
they may be given credit for perfect amia-
bility, because nobody has found traces Of
owl in Il dead marmot's INTERIOR nor of
marmot i'll an owls. But the rattlesnake
is another thing. He waits till the resi-
dence has been made perfectly comfortable,
and then comes in himself, not in the friend
~ capacity CT ledger, but rs n sort of I'M
holy wrtter-a scaly man in possession.
He eats the marmot's family, and perhaps
the marmot himself, curling himself up
comfortably in the best part of the drawing
room.
The owl and his belongings he leaves Sc
verely alone, but whether from doubt us

Obliged to speak properly in order to make

We pluck and twinc in clustered wrcaths.
Where fragrant memory sweetly breathes;
