IN MEMORIAM.

The subject of this short sketch deserves
more than passing notice, for he was such
an exemplary young man. Confined to
his room since the 10Th day of April, he
bore his sufferings and confinement most
heroically, and being myself a constant
visitor at his fathers house, never once
heard him murmur or complain, bui. 10 the
contrary, was always cheerful and lively
up to the day Of his (eath, always thinking
and saying, 81 hope to be well next month"
But death came and relieved him of all the
sorrow, trouble, cares and trihulations of
this wicked world on the 2Stk of Deem
Der, 1893, at $50 p. NJ, aged II years, 9
months and days, and on Saturday, the
30th, the body, all that remained of RICH-
ARD BERNARD, the last of six children of
Daniel j. Payne, was inferred in Sacred
Heart churchyard by the sides OF his broth
ers, sisters, mother and stepmother. His
death had been expected for q long time.
but for sometime before his death he seemed
to be improving, and il was a consolation
to his father and many friends to think that
his Professor was about to conquer that
monster disease, Multiple Nuretia, and it
was startling news to many when his death
was announced. Fond and loving parent,
l know that you still weep for your darl-
ing boy, as it was all you had, but remem-
Der God loves a cheerful heart, for many
are called and few are chosen. But what
a consolation TO you, fond parent, TO know
that Richard is one of the chosen, and that
he is now enjoying the happiness prepared
for him by His Divine Hand, and that he is
now a bright angel in Heaven, where moth
ing exists but true happiness and again,
fond parent, what consolation il should
be to you to know that he was a dutiful
son, ever ready to do your bidding, and an
obliging, kind and dutiful child, always
ready TO contribute TO the pleasure and
happiness of others, even at sacrifice to
his own. wipe away your tears, dear
father, and cease to weep for me-" would be
his expression TO you now, could you but
hear him, las my happiness is now COM
plete for all eternity" Look not to the
past, fond father, but prepare to meet him
and all your darlings in that Celestial City
above prepared by Gods own hand for
those who serve Him faithfully, where there
is nothing but true happiness, such as we
can never attain TO here below.
Oh ! what happiness to know that he
died Withhold in him and is now with God,
having lived and died Christian in true
communion with the holy Roman Catholic
church. ..*.

THE GOVERNORS MESSAGE
Governor Browns message deals
with the questions of State in a
fair and business like way. 1t
makes a good size pamphlet and
contains illustrations of the institu-
tions to which the State appropriates
money.
lie recommends the appointment
Of joint committee to consider the
question of u new assessment and
wants the matter disposed of before
the last days Of the session.
He makes no recommendations
upon oyster legislation but promises
a special message later on.
The working of the Public
School system he says, is perfectly
satisfactory. Legislation in regard
to election returns is recommended
and a general road law for the
State is favored.
The message contains a great
deal of valuable information con-
corning our State and is we'll worth
reading.

There will be some st. Mary's
appointments to be made by Gov
ernor Brown during the present
session of the Legislature and we
hope that all the appointees will be
simon pure democrats. The test
of party fealty is not work at prim-
aries but work on election day and
the man who that day works against
the party ticket is not entitled to
recognition from party authorities.
The men who do the party's fight
ing in st. Mary's should be accord
ed some consideration and it will
not do for them to see that rene
gades or secret Republicans receive
the rewards. II Republicans must
be rewarded give to the straight-out,
died-in-the-wool warranted-not to-
fade article. We want nothing
half way! Put true men on guard;
The Democrats Of st. Mary's be-
lieve in the principles of the party;
they have maintained their faith
against great odds and they humbly
ask that the party leaders in the
State see that fair play is accorded
them and only the faithful recog-
nized.
We expect to have a good deal to
say on this subject hereafter and if
true Democrats do not secure the
few petty offices which are to be
given our county it shall be through
no fault of ours.

An amendment allowing six DAYS

The Catchings resolutions rs

Wilson who spoke for two hours,
making a splendid argument in
favor of the measure.

The TARIFF FIGHT.-The Ma
tional Economist, published at
Washington, has the following to
say of the fight for a reduction of
Onerous tariff duties now being
waged in Congress:
"The war is on The thousands
of selfish interests that have been
fastening on to our body polite for
many years, are forming in solid
phalanax for the fight. On one
hand are the people whose very
vitals have been sucked dry in
order that the privileged might
revel in luxury. On the other side
stand the privileged classes, who
will fight for their privileges until
the last one has gone down. 1t
will be great and perhaps awful
contest, for be it known that the
privileged classes believe in the en-
forcement of law only so long as
those laws are framed to suit them.
1t will be a great fight for the right
of men to get full value for their
money. We Of the producing class
work for low wages and pay high
prices for the necessities of life.
The privileged classes, through the
assistance OF Government, get high
prices for the things that have been
made at low wages. Thus, all the
milk in the cocoanut flows TO them.
while We get the husks. 1t will be
a great fight. In the end the COM
mon people will win, and the trusts
and other iniquitious designs to
rob the laborers of the fruits of
their toll will 60 to the wall. But
it will be great fight.

We are earnest believers in cour-
tesy and think nothing is ever lost
by poiiteness. 1t was a graceful
and pretty compliment for the
Republican Senator from this
county to move and vote for the
unanimous nomination of Hon.
John Walter Smith as President of
the Senate, but despite the compli-
ment we want the Democratic
Senators at Annapolis to remember
to be just TO their struggling st.
Mary's brothers before they are
courteous and generous to our
Republican Senator. Treat him
kindly, but don't let the kindness
be at the expense of st. Mary's

It is gratifying to true Demo-
Gratis to see that their representa-
tiyes in Congress are not dalIying
with the party's platform pledges.
A quorum is on hand at Washing
ton and the debate on the Wilson
tariff bill has begun. We hope and
believe the bill will have passed the
House and be occupying the atten-
ton of the Senate before February.

NEEDLE with these things-go vote
as we command you
When John Temple Graves and
others rise up and ask for investiga-
ton they are badgered and branded
as cranks OR populists. To such a
stage have we come that some have
even gone SO far as to hint at prose-
cution If men who entered the pri-
mary dared to vote against the nomi-
nee. There has been such IDLE,
empty yaporing, even in the old
county of Talbot. CANCELS and
ministers of grace defend us "
Though investigation be denied and
truth suppressed, we are not ready
to believe that the spirit of the white
men in this country will cover and
tamely submit to a dictation that
would rob them of their last rem
nant of manhood. We rather be-
lieve they will study the interroga-
tories for themselves, and if the
charges be we'll founded, rebuke bad
methods by voting for the best man.

The Supreme Court.

The following is a communication
from the present judges on the
subject:
In reply to inquiries as to the ne
cessity for adding two more justices
to the supreme bench in Georgia, we
state without reserve that The neces-
sity is overwhelming. Our exper-
fence enables us to speak advisedIy
on this subject, and we say TO all
voters that the constitutional amend
ment ought to be adopted. Il is a
matter of vital importance to all the
people of this state that it should be
done. We know that two more JUS
tees will greatly and materially aid
the court in disposing of its business.
They can do this in many ways, and
their help will make the work better
in every respect. The number, five,
is not too great. Other supreme
courts have five, some seven, and
some even nine supreme judges.
1hey WORK harmonlously, ana their
work is done more thoroughly than
three could possibly do it. If we
had two more, the present members
of the bench would work, perhaps,
as long as they do now, but under
less strain, and hence they would do
the work better. Intellectual labor,
done by minds tagged and worn out
cannot be of the best quality. If
the people understood the situation
as We do, the amendment would be-
You'd all doubt be adopted by very
large majority. We hope other
papers will copy this. Respectfully,

And for What?

That Tom Watson is directly and
almost solely responsible for the inter
ruption of the peace of families, the
disturbance of the friendship of com
munities, the disruption of churches,
cannot be denied AS widely as his
influence has been felt, so widely have
these bad results followed.
The above is clipped from the
Augusta Chronicle, signed /. I. V
Why should the Chronicle now
give utterance to such expressions
Why publish with the sanction of its
silent approval a vindictive attack
which the least investigation will
brand as false? GAS widely as his
influence has been felt, so widely
have these bad results followed: the
interruption of the peace of families,
the disturbance Of the friendship Of
communities, the disruption of
churches
Was it Mr.. Watson's influence
which caused the father-in-law to
shoot his son-in-law at the polls in
Kentucky in the Ashland demo
cratic primary? Was it Mr.. Wat
sons influence which is disturbing
the friendship of communities in
Louisiana in the districts which have
gone over to the republicans? Was
it Mr.. Watson's influence which dis
rupted the church at Pullman, where
the Rev. Mr.. Carwardine lifted his
voice against the goddess oppression
of the poor? Was it Mr.. Watson's
influence in South Carolina, where
this unfortunate condition prevails
in worse form than in any other
state, and where also the party
which he leads is weaker than it is
in any other state in the union? No
this distressing condition is caused
directly by an abuse of their power
of those in high places and the I'M
righteous greed of gain which is fos-

Sama Nancy Old Lion.

The most potent Of these privileges
lies in the fact that while the banks
have the use of the peoples money at
per cent year, the people cannot get
the use of the same money for less than
s, 12 or Is per cent. The process is sim,
pie. To establish national bank with
$100000 capital it is necessary to de-
post 100000 worth of United States
bonds in the treasury department. The
bank can then draw from the treasury
100000 in currency On tii5s lhe gov
eminent levies nominal tax Of 1 per
cent, and that is all Che interest The
bank pays on this amount. Meanwhile
the bank is drawing 4 or per cent in
terest on it's bonds and charging it's
customers anywhere from 6 to 10 per
cent on the money that it has borrowed
from the people, The banks and bank
ers are not to blame for this state of
things, and those who criticise them
because they have seized an opportu-
nifty that gives them these tremendous
advantages are shooting wide Of the
mark.
But after all, when the test comes
when the people try to repeal The 10
per cent tax in order that they may
reap the advantages of a local currency

will find in the path the same NANCY
old lion that has barred the way to

twenty years in the way of an exPan-
sion o. the currency. IhC lines will
find every element that has opposed
and now opposes the free coinage of
silver arrayed against the repeal of the
state bank tax. 1t will find the money
power in favor of retiring all the paper
currency issued by the government and
placing the people wholly at the mercy
of the national banks, so far as the
money supply is concerned. Atlanta

This NANCY old lion which the
