YOUNG Or OLD MEN.

FROM the Spectator.
Most great military exploits have
been performed by the young; but
there is not a country now where the
sensible would not shiver if they heard
that an officer of twenty-seven had
been appointed to command an army.
No one in England now would endure
premier OF Pitts years; nor would il
be considered quite safe to send
viceroy to India who was not at least
i've years older than Lord Dalhousie,
who was thirty-six when he took up
the reins with grasp which was felt
IN six weeks to be at least adequately
strong.
At fifty man is still young in poll
tics. and, though life is little swifter
in the professions. no one rises to the
top till maturity has well set in. All
patronage rests with the old, and ex-
cept in literature. which is still indie
pendent of the consideration of years,
the old either disbelieve in the judg.
ment of the young, or think, if they
recognize it, that it indicates a certain
deficiency in other and more attractive

as they should, and that is set-off
against the happiness of any genera
ton, even if it is not one cause of the
revolt against all that has been which
marks the hour, and which, if it ex-
tends much deeper, will provide for one
generation, at least, years of acute
misery
When the young despise arithmetic
because it IS in the way of their theo-
ries, something in the nature of an
overturn or, as it is in England, of a
violent bolt of the state carriage is
pretty sure to happen. If we were
to consider the young alone we
should say that the new disposition to
stick on to work was perhaps little
selfish, and, certainly as far as the fu-
ture of the world is concerned, i'll
judged, the habit of subordination be-
ing, except for the immature. worse
training than independent RESPONSE.
bility.
We say nothing of the immobility of
the old as impeding progress. for to
say the truth, we have no firm belief
in it.
1t used to be true, we suppose, in
sense: but in our time the greatest
risk ever undertaken in politics was
borne by king of seventy three, and
the widest revolution ever suggested
in British politics was devised by
statesman of seventy-six. We may let
that consideration wait, but that the
Did are more in the way of the young
than they were, is as undenia bic as
the fact that thereby the happiness of

There are reasons, which would COM
mend themselves to prudent and patri-

plants of the bad effects of the Wilson
bill when it becomes law, and for
studying the influences that have
wrought the evils the country has ex-
perienced since the anti-tariff party sue
ceeded to power. But, since it is the
determination of the Democrats to enact
the measure in the shortest possible

A few Populist organs are trying to
draw some compromising conclusion
from the circumstance that the Republl-

There is not Republican paper i'll the
state but has published statement of
the fact and of Smiths arrest for criru-

HOME FOR EPILEPTICS.
Mrs. Abraham's Offer of a Property Near
Port Deposit for the Purpose
COnsidered,

At the quarterly meeting of the Kings
Daughters and Sons of Maryland held
10 Baltimore on Friday of last week,
announcement was made OF the offer to
that organization of the property sit
uated near Port Deposit, by Mrs. Wood
ward Abrahams, of Baltimore, for use
as home for epilepties.
A committee was appointed to consider
the acceptance or refusal of the prop
erty, and resolutions of thanks to Mrs.
Abrahams were unanimously adopted.
The principal question in the matter is
the ability of the Kings Daughters
aud Sons at this time to raise sufficient
funds to eq uip the house at Port Deposit
Tor the purpose Intended and keep it in
operation. 1t was stated that 50, 900
would be required to repair the property
and to furnish it with electric lights and
suitable heating apparatus, aud that
SIS 200 would cover all expenses of
improving and furnishing the house.
Each circle of the order is engaged in
special charitable work OF its own, so
that some special movement would have
to be made by the combined cirles of the
State successfully to start the new
work.
No provision is made in Maryland for
epileptics, the charitable institutions
and hospitals having no special accoma-
dations for them. The only asylum for
epileptics in theUnited States is in Ohio.
The treasurer of the Kings Daughters
and Sons, Mr.. w. Irving Walker, in
urging az the meeting the need for such
| a home in Mary land, stated that there
were between 2, 100 and 5000 epileptics
in tue State among all classes of people,
| aud that neither for those who were
able to pay nor for those who were in
poverty was there any facility for educa,
ton and proper medical treatment. He
suggested that the Kings Daughters
and Sons of Maryland become an incor
porated body before considering Mrs,
Abraham's offer, and motion to incor-
porate was passed.
The Kings Daughters and Sons hop'
to afford the epilepties practical training
as well as medical treatment, and tt
make the proposed homo in time self
supporting. It was suggested that thu
work be known as the Silver Cross Hom
in allusion to the little silver Mates
cross worn as the badge of the order.

Death of Miss Partridge.

Miss Jane Hollingsworth Partridge,
sister of John Partridge. Esq, died at
her home in Elkton on Tuesday after
noon, after long illness from nervous
dyspepsia, in the 74th year of her age.
For the past two years her health had
been rapidly failing.
Miss Partridge was daughter of
James Partridge, a prominent merchant
OF Baltimore, from which city she with
her mother, sister and two brothers
removed to Elkton in 1885 and took
possession of the property at the corner
of Main and Bow streets, in which the
family has since resided. Ga her
maternal side she was descendant of
the Hollingsworth family SO prominently
identified with the history of Cecil
county. Miss Partridge was lifelong
aud consistent member of the Episcopal
Church, and a lady of an unassuming
and very estimable character. Her
brother, John Partridge, Esq, is the
only surviving member of the Immediate
family.
Her funeral services will take place
this afternoon at $50 o'clock, from her
late residence.
