WASHINGTON, Feb. II. 1895.
If Mr.. Cleveland expects to get II gold bond

ultimatum he is going to get disappointed

Reed aptly said, both President Cleveland
and Secretary Carlisle have officially de-
clared that the revenues of the government
will soon exceed the expenditures. which is
an argument against long time bonds Re
preventative Springer having failed twic" in
his attempts to get an administration financial
bill through the House, the hopeless task has
now been turned over to Representative
Wilson. chairman Of the Ways and Means
Committee, of trying to get gold bond bill
through.
The foreign syndicate which bought the
S62. iOO,O 600 four per cent thirty year bonds
from Mr. Cleveland did a very shrewd thing
when they employed Mr.. Clrvcland's former
law partner to help them make the deal, but
they did not do II shrewed thing when they
got Mr.. Cleveland to put on record in his
special message. their willingness to pay the
same price for a3 per cent gold bond that
they had agreed to pay for Il 3 and "a per
cent coin bond. In making this distinction
themselves they have furnished an excellent
reason should any future administration de-
sire to take advantage OF it. for paying the
interest and principal of those sbonds in
silver.

consular and diplomatic appropriation bill.

II. Eckels, who gained some notoricty 10y be-
ing called the ''hoy Comptroller" when Mr.
Cleveland, without consulting Secretary
Carlisle gave him the position of comptroller
of the Currency. He has since added to that
notoricty by series of after dinner financial
speeches, not always in harmony with either
Mr.. Cleveland or Mr.. Carlisle's IDEAS
dinner is indirectly responsible for the before
mentioned snickering. The dinner was given
in Baltimore, and Mr.. Eckels was a guest
He returned to washington on IA late train
in the midst of a heavy snow storm, and
entered public carriage to be carried home
While in the carriage he took n notion that
he was about to be kidnapped. and silently
opening the door of the moving carriage he
bolted for home through the snow, not for
getting, however, his dress suit case. Moth
ing more ridiculous has happened for quite
awhile, and the idea of Eckes getting his
head sufficiently swelled to imagine that he
was of sufficient Importance to be kidnapped
was funny enough to make IA street car horse
laugh. He should hereafter be accom-
panied by a chaperone when, he attends
dinner.

the vanguard to be composed of men who
will do their duty with the determination, that
the rights of the people shall not be trampled
on or their cause betrayed. We hear in sew
eral quarters the cry, 1T is too soon !" No,
my friends it is not too soon. 1t is never too
soon to do right II may be too soon for the
would-be bosses and tricksters who are
always waiting to see which side is going to
turn up, and which side the butter is on.
But this campaign must he free from the
bosses if it is to succeed. The cry is for the
people, the merchant. the farmer, the
mechanic, the laborcr to come forth in their
strength to hold counsel together and to
select men of high character and ability to
place in the offices of power aud trust Men
whose honesty, ability and energy will bring
about a new regime in the public affairs of
the grand old commonwealth of MARYLAND.
One of the maXims laid down by the immor-

mighty resolve: it can not he temporized with

leaders behind the scenes have their effect
upon the faint and the weak hearted. and by

thwarted. and the cause Of honest men and

almost on" accord have asked the right to
name man from among themselves for the
high and honorci position OF Chief Magis-
trate Of the state; and the voice has been
heard and supplemented by thousands of
voices from the counties Of Western. Eastern
and southern Maryland all uniting in the
desire that the pIough-boy OF Cecil now

IT must be acknowledged that the one
great and all-powerful cause of the Demo
cratic party's pitialc condition lies in
the fact that it has no principles aclnoMl-
edged by the whole party. Western Demo
Gratis want free silver Eastern Democrats
do not want free silver. Southern Demo
Gratis, with the exception of few in Louis
lana, want free trade. Northern Demo
Gratis almost to IA man want protection.
There is scarcely bill that can be intro
duced into the United States Congress over
which the Democratic ma jority cannot be
divided into two hostile factions, each pull
ing in an absolutely opposite direction.
The corruption in New York had some
thing to do with the downfall of Demo-
crazy, but it did not have much to do with
it, That same corruption has been known
for Years Many of the Democratic leaders
are men of no depth, but their lack of
brains was not the cause of its downfall
The Democratic party has some wise and
stable men in it, but they could not save
the party. 1t was lack of unity of pur-
pose that brought the Democratic party to
its ruin.

SOME faint idea of the cost to Railroad
Companies of the late snow blockade may
he inferred from the statement credited to
Mr.. George V. Massey, of Dover, counsel
for the Delaware railroad, who says that
the damage to engines on the Delaware
division will amount to fifty thousand
dollars. Added to this must be the loss
of fares and freight and the expense made
necessary in the employment of extra men
and the extra salaries of the men who were
on duty for seventy or eighty hours, to say
nothing of the cost of food with which to
supply the passengers delayed on the road.

than dozen large ones. Besides,
chickens are no longer sold by the pair, but

for selling eggs the same way.

MR.. MASTERS STRENGTH AS A
INTERNATIONAL CANDIDATE.

The Baltimore Lite, commenting upon
the popular strength of Hon. William T.
Malster as a gubernatoral candidate, in its
last issue forcefully says:
There is no concealing the fact that the
Republicans of Maryland and the city of
Baltimore, are earnest in the conviction
that they will capture both OF these citadels
of Democracy the coming fall. Encouraged
and elated by the results in their favor in
the last years contest, they believe that
even more fruitful and valuable results
may be secured at the next election by the
presentation of uneNceptionable candidates
and thorough and harmonious organization.
Already the names Of certain Republicans
are offered for the Governorship and Mayor
atty, who, it must be conft ssed, are a
tower Of strength y with the people be-
cause of their high character and excellent
qualifications, and who must inevitably
prove formidable rivals for the official hon
ors and responsibilities. One man, cspec-
tally, who has been put forward for the
Governorship, William T. Malster, has won
golden opinions from all who know him.
and whose claims to political favor will
not easily he disrcgarded by the next
Republican State Convention. Mr. MalSter,
as is well known, is the architect of the
great success he has won as business man.
He has had II full share of the vicisstudcs
and troubles of life, and walked in the
humblest paths in his boyhood and early
manhood. But his energy, his uprightn, IS
and his confidence asserted themselves until
now he is at the head of one of our most
important industries and is recognized as
il citizen of the very best type. 1t were
useless to deny that he is ii strong man, and
assert that he could easily be defeated il
nominated. On the contrary he possesses
elements OF strength and public confidence
to IA degree well calculated to rally about
thus, perhaps, rcvolutionizc the political
position of this good old state. Indeed.
the very mention of Mr.. Masters name
for the Republican nomination for the
Governorship, should he keynote of warn
ing to the Democracy to select "a man Of at
least corresponding strength and merit as
Mr.. Malster, and to soldify the party for IA
contest that promises to be one of the hot
test and most memorable in the history of
the State. Bditjmorc Lic, Feb. mn, ISH5

THE uniting of the Elkton churches in
the charity of relieving the wants of the
destitute is a pleasing evidence that all
churches have one aim, if not the same
creed, and that the teachings of "charity"

A CONTEMPORARY calls attention to the
interesting fact, that thirty years ago
when the Democrats came into power in
Missouri, they removed Lincolns portrait

majority, will hang it where was before.
Let us hope it will never be disturbed
again.

New York Fashion Letter.

The utility of the tailor-made gown for
every day wear has established it as a part of
every we'll dressed womans outfit. The full
skirt is plain and the jacket is usually made
with short ripple back, and strapped sea ms.
These skirts are not interlined, but are fin
ished with narrow stiff facing around the
bottom. All varieties of fancy silk waists
are again the rage, but the new velvet
blouses are the most popular of ali, and vel
vet for the entire gown is much in vogue. 1t
IS not always silk velvet; but velveteen in
stripes, p!aids and figures are variously en-
pioyed. The newest outside garments are
very much trimmed, sometimes entirely
with braiding or passementerie and often
with fur, principally sable and Persian fur
trimmings. The old fashion of using Jet en-
broidery velvet is one Of the most popular
fancies OF the winter. A trimming OF velvet
is necessary part Of every outdoor az we'll
as indoor garment,and a vest of some bright
colored velvet tends to tighten charmlngly
dark cloth jacket. The lining for the
coats and capes is very gorgeous. The rich
est brocades and satins in the newest designs
are employed. Some of tie newest cape
have high inside collars facedl with real
antique lace. There are gorgeous nantes
that reach from the neck to the hem of the
gown for opera and carriage wear. In the
latest number of the Fashion Magazines
