A MARYLAND Holiday.

Governor Brown has issued
proclamation declaring September
II legal holiday IN Maryland and
ordering suspension OF business
on that day.
The authority to take this action
is vested in the Governor by stat
ute, and it is optional with the
executive to order the holiday or
not. He says he was prompted to
declare the holiday by the numer-
Gus petitions which have been pre-
sented to him within the past few
days advocating the commemora-
ton of September II IN some suit
able way by the citizens of the city
and State. These petitions contain
over 5000 signatures.
The making of September II a
legal holiday will close the State
and municipal offices. The courts,
banks and the business exchanges
will also suspend business. United
States government offices can only
be closed on that day by order from
me heads Of the departments in
Washington, as the day is not a
national holiday.

THE American Protective Tariff
League is circulating and soliciting
signatures to document which
reads as follows:
II hereby pledge myself to buy
American goods only, whether Of
the farm, mine or factory, and to
use my influence to have others do
the same"
In the present condition Of the
country this is a good pledge to
take. 1t is. from every point of
view, wise and patriotic to do so.
Democracy in the tariff legislation
it has just enacted, has brought the
United States into keen competition
with foreign farmers, foreign me-
chanics and foreign manufactures.
Under the operation of this law
every one of our industries will
have to fight hard to maintain
itself, pay interest on Investment,
pay taxes, and, above all, pay
wages-the wages that support the
home, the church and the school
house.

The HazV Skv.

The haze which for some days has
obscured the sky IS thought to be
perhaps due to the forest fires that
have oeen raging in various parts of
the West. We get our weather for
the most part from that point of
the compass, and the West winds
bring us fine particles of dust and
smoke that have been lifted into the
atmosphere by ascending currents
that rise from the burnt area. Dust
particles have the power of con-
densing the vapor of water upon
themselves, and 1T is thus that the
thick haze of dun color is thought
to be produced. A general storm
from the West will sweep it all
away.
The dust particles in this case
produce an effect widely different
from that of the particles with
which the atmosphere was laden for
a year or more after the eruption of
the volcano of Krakatoa, near Java,
about ten years ago. Red sunsets
continued for months-were the
result, then, mainly for the reason
that the dust from the volcano,
consisting of very fine particles,
floated in the upper currents of
wind that belt the globe, whereas
the coarse dust from our Western
fires is brought by surface currents.

Democratic Convention,

The Democracy convened in the
court house Tuesday afternoon at
two o'clock for the purpose of elect.
ing delegates to the Congressional
convention which convenes at
Hagerstown on the 18th inst. The
convention was called to order by
Chairman Browning Of the State
Central Committee. Mr.. William
Brydon was elected chairman and
Capt. Samuel johnson secretary.
The following named persons were
elected to represent Garrett county
at the Hagerstown convention:
Samuel johnson, A. S. Teats, p.
j. Garrett, William Miller, II. j,
Sbaffer, John I. Mitchell, J. NJ.
Litzinger and William Brydon.
A great many of the delegates
and members of the convention
were considerably worked up oyer
the report that a resolution would
be presented to the convention
endorsing President Cleveland and
the Wilson bill, but sigh Of relief
escaped them when the delibera-
tions were at last ended and the
resolutions were not presented.
Had they been Mr.. Germans friends
would have been compelled to vote
against the measure and that would
have placed them in bad odor with
the Administration.

Mr.. Carnegie on American Labor.

Mr.. Carnegie contributes to the
Contemporary RerieaC an article on
labor in America. In his paper he
gives new reason why there is no
occasion to pay higher wages in
this country than in Great Britain
-"the working man can live for
less in America. if he choose, than
in Great Britain. provided hat he
lives as frugally. A pound judi
ciously expended in America on the
necessari9s of life would afford the
working mans family more COM
forts than would the same amount
spent here
The American wage Garner does
not desire to live as frugally as his
British competitor does, nor do the
thoughtful of his countrymen desire
that he shall be brought down to
that level Of living. 1t has been
recognized that it is better for the
general welfare that the wage
Garner Of this country shall live
better than the wage-earner Of any
other land and lay up something
besides.
Mr.. Carnegie may have reasons
Of his own for preaching the doc
trine Of low wages for American
wage-earners, but it is nos a doc
trine that will find general favor in
this country. Mr.. Carnegie is
progressing. Just before he left
for Europe he had a good word to
say tor Democratic tariff policy;
now he becomes the champion Of
low wages; and in the two positions
he is altogether consistent.

Stopping a Paper,

A story told of Horace Greeley
relates that an acquaintance of his
got offended at one Of his articles in
the ITl6n'1e. went to the office and
Put an end to his subscription.
Later in the day he met the editor
and said; "Mr. Greeley, I've
stopped your paper ''Haye your"
queried Horace, adding, NV ell,
that's TOO bad;" and the old white
hat went its way. The next morn
ing Greeley encountered his former
subscriber again and accosted him
with, 81 thought you had stopped
the 2Tt6Une." $50 did"
''Then there must be some mis-
take replied Horace, ''for | Just
came from the office and when |
left the presses were running as
usual, the clerks were as busy as
ever, the compositors were hard at
work, and the business was going
on the same as yesterday and the
day before" "OhH' calculated
the old subscriber, ~ didn't mean
that had stopped the paper; l
stopped my copy Of it, because l
didn't like one Of your editorials"
"Pshawn' retorted Greeley, sit
wasn't worth while taking up my
time to tell me such trife as that.
My dear sir, if you expect to con-
troll the utterances of the Tribune
by the purchase of one copy a day
or if you think to find any newspa-
per worth reading that will never
express convictions at right angles
with your own, you are doomed to
disappointment. The Tri0une
would not be deserving of respect if
1t could be coerced by the threat of
the loss of one subscriber, or hun
dred or ten thousand, or every one
it has to refrain from telling the
truth as 1t sees it. My friend, this
is free country, and the man who
does not give freedom of opinion to
others does not deserve it himself.
Good day."

We wish to call the attention of

We dislike this method of calling

Of the sixteen hundred dollars
we have received less than two hun

The Oakland Democrat mentions
with qualification the fact that sew
eral merchants Of that place have
received circulars from wholesale
houses in New York informing
them of the fact that under the new
tariff schedule they will be able to
offer a class of foreign made wooden
goods at a cut in prices, and ad-
Vising them to wait until the new
invoices arrive.
This is very likely true, but there
is another way to look at this mat
ter. There are two sides to the
question. These foreign manufac-
lures Will pay less duty to the gov
ernment than would have been
required a month ago. SO these
cheaper goods cause a loss of rev.
enue. Then they displace in the
home market an equal amount of
American manufactured products,
thus working an injury to the bust
ness Of some manufacturing enter
prise, and impairing the value of
the labor of skilled American work
ingmen. The few cents saved to
the general consumer by the impor-
tation of cheaper goods from across
the ocean will be found to be costly

local industries Of the whole coun-
