INTELLIGENT people will not bs de-
celved with the declarations that tho
present City Council has been shame
lessly extravsgant and reckless. We
doubt very much whether there has
been more economical council dur
Ing the last twenty years. So caro-
fully has the present City Councll hus-
banded their resources that the in
dlcations now are that there will be a
surplus Of some ten thousand dollars
at the end Of tho present fiscal year.
The charges OF extravaganza have
been made with the partisan view of
efTectlng the June election.
Those who are we'll informed know
that the City Council Is not responsl-
BILE for our threatened Increased rate
OF taxation. That is oil regulated
from Dover. The City Council 10 not
responsible for the commissions that
have been created and which hang
like blood-sucking leeches to the city.
The City Council has to raise whatever
NAaNAhe va ihoHoy LILO CtiocN Nhu
Sewer Commission. the Police Com
mission and the Board Of Education
demand under the laws passed at
Dover. They have no other option
than to just pay these corporations
except the Police Commission, an In
crease OF five per cent. each year.
The Police Commission apploprla-
ton is not increased by any graded
percentage, but can run tho City
Council into any amount OF Debt, and
Council has nothing to do In the mat
ter but to pay the debt. The action
of the present session OF the Iegisla
ture Is to make the City Coun pill pay
still more to the Street and Sewer
Commission, and more to the Police
Commission. yet these Dom pcratlt
papers try to make the people believe
that the City Council is responsible
for 1t all. Nobody will be deceived b,
these Misrepresentation but thost
who want to be deceived.

There will Be great disappointment

They may declare in ..their platform
that Republican protection is fraud
and unconstitutional, but when they
meet in Congress they have not the
courage Of their convictions, and dare
not make move towards repea ling

Cleveland has weakened upon this
subject, and although he may make
many moves upon the political chess
board that points towards repeal oil
the Mckinley tariff, they all mean
nothing. There will be no repeal, &C

BOTH SIDES CLAIM 1T.

TIE Friends of Ex-senator Camden Retioent--
Mr.. Faulkner on the Ground, and His Presence
Inspires His Followers With Energy
The Charleston Dispatch says "There
has been but little change in the Sena-
torial situation in the last twenty-four
hours. Mr.. Faulkner got in from Wash
ington at two o'clock Sunday after
noon, and his arrival had the effect to
inject fresh enthusiasm into his sup
porters. The Senator himself is conf
dent of success and believes he will get
the nomination on the first ballot.
Faulkner's friends are out-spoken and
are conducting an aggressive fight in
his behalf. while the Camden men are
claiming everything, but are reticent
and guarded in their words when ask
ed for definite statements as to their
reliance for support.
There is no denying the fact that
Camden has strong following. But
it is believed that his supporters have
.oYer-estimated his strength. An init
mate friends Of Mr.. Camden was asked
to-day whether the ex-senator expect
ed support from the Republican mem
bers and whether in the eventit should
appear that he would not receive the
caucus nomination he would stand out
as an independent candidate and ac-
cept aid from the Republicans to secure
his election. He replied emphatically
that Mr.. Camden would go into the
caucus and abide by its decision Cam
den, he said, was loyal Democrat and
would not invite or encourage any sup
port from the Republican members.
A canvass Of the Democratic mem
bers of the Senate shows that out of
the twenty-one Democratic members
fourteen are for Faulkner. This would
seem to make the election Of D. w.
Gall as President certainty. 1t was
said to-day that Senator Henderson. Of
the Fourth Senatorial District is can
didate for the Senate Presidency.
There seems to be a strong sentiment
against drawing the lines on the Uni
ted States Senatorship in organizing
the two Houses, but some Of the lead
ing supporters of the two principal
candidates are in favor of forcing the
fighting all along the line, and it now
looks as if the first trial of strength
between Faulkner and Camden will be
made in the election of the officials of
the two Houses. Mr.. Camden and
party arrived at eleven o'clock Sun
day. He was asked for an interview,
but asked to be excused tilllater.

a Wonder Worker.

A remarkable man, know as Father
Mollinger, died in Pittsburg recently. A
Belgian by birth, and OF noble ancestry,
be first studied to be physician and
then came to America as a missionary.
Since 1885 he has been in or near Pitts
burg, in charge OF parish, but working
endless and wonderful cures, largely
through the agency OF faith, but also en-
pIoying medicines. In the number and
character of the ailments he successfully
treated, notably physical deformities, the
man seemed endowed with miraculous
power. Thousands OF people made pill
grimages to his church on st. Anthony's
Day to be cured. He charged nothing
for his services, but patients were at lib
erty to contribute to the poor box of his
church. Personally he had no need OF
money. Besides large income from es-
tates in Germany, he had several hundred
thousand dollars worth OF property in
this country, acquired by the investment
Of his German income.-N. Y. Tribune

One day last week the body of girl
who had died of that dread scourge,
diphtheria, was brought by the B. & O..

and taken to Sharpsburg, where inter
ment was made, but no public funeral
held, and the body was not exposed to
view. Still the danger was run and
many Of the citizens of Sharpsburg
were deeply indignant that the body
should have been allowed to come to
that place without all the necessary
precautions that are laid down for such
cases.

MORE NONSENSE ABOUT BARBARA FRIToHIE
An Article Full of Glazing Inaccuracies and Rid
oulous Misstatements.

An Article Full of Glazing Inaccuracies and Rid
oulous Measurements.
The California Illustrated Magazine
for January contains an Illustrated
article on Barbara Fntchie, written by
Mrs. Nellie Blessing Eyster, formerly
of Frederick county. The Frederick
Neaos charges it as follows. In the
matter of glaring inaccuracies and ridi
culous misstatements it is almost on a
par with Mrs. Caroline H. Dall's recent
alleged life of Whittier's heroine. For
instance, Mrs. Eyster says that Bar
bara Fritchie is buried near Francis
Scott Key, in Mt. Olivetcemetery, and
that they both sleep beneath the shad-
ow Of South Mountain. She also shows
q picture of Barbara's flag, riddled
with bullet holes, which she says is the
flag Barbara's father had during the
Revolution. The absurdity of this is
shown by a glance at the flag, which
shows thirty-one stars in its field Of
blue. When will writer's who attempt
to write about Barbara Fritchie en-
deavor to inform themselves Of the
facts ~
