DEFIED GREAT BRITAIN.
Twelve Judges of the Frederick
Court Repudiate the Stamp
Act-Their Memory Hon-
ored.

Saturday last was Reputation Day,
legal half-holday in Frederick, al
though no one would have thought 50,
from the appearance of our business
houses and banks, which did not sus-
pend operations. There was no dem
onstratlon of a public nature, but few
patriotic individuals showed their spir-
1t by displaying the national colors
from their dwellings and the Daught-
ers OF the American Revolution visited
Mt. Oliret Cemetery and strewed flow
ers upon the grave of Judge Beatty,
whose remains were re-interred there
by that loyal organization. The day
was honored IN memory of the twelve
Judges OF the court who refused to
c"ndone the infamous act of Great
Britain III making the colonists pay an
enormous tax on all articles of COM
merce, especially on tea. The Fred
erlck Judges were the first to sign an
order refusing to use his Majesty's
stamps, and this eventually led To the
Boston Tea Party and the war of the
Revolution.

An Encouraging Sign of the Times.

Says the New York Herald: The
figures given in Postmaster-Cenera
Wilson's annual report are encourage
ing evidences of the growing PROSPER
ity in business circles. To the uuthlnk-
ing 1t may seem strange that such a
trllle as two-cent stamp can be, as it
were, straw showing which way the
commercial wind blows. But it is
nevertheless true. The purchase of "a
postage stamp will not make or break
any one in prosperous or hard times,
but the revenues of the POstofiice De-
partment as regularly fall and rise
with the increase or decrease of the
general volume of business as does a
barometer in stormy or pleasant
weather. 1t has always been so in all
countries, and the financial depression
of the past year or two was promptly
shown in the falling away of the De-
partment's receipts. The figures that
Mr.. Wilson furnishes are all interest
ing study, and the recent marked in
crease in tine postal revenues is another
gratifying assurance of the widespread
revival OF business prosperity.

BALTIMoRE'S NEW SHERIFF.
Inauguration Ceremonies Quite
Simple-List of his Appoint
mentS.

first Republican Sheriff of the city for
Years Republicans were present in
large numbers to witness the cere-
mony.
Mr.. Mason arrived at the office of

shortly before noon. Mr.. Mason
handed his bond for S25, 900 to Mr.
Bond, who examined it. and finding
it correct, started on with the cere-
monies, the first of which was the
signing of the test book by the new
Sheriff.
In slow measured tones, Mr.. Bond
read the oath of office whereby Mr..
Mason swore to uphold the Constitu-
ton of the United States and OF the
State Of Maryland, aud never to exact
larger fees for the performance Of his
lawful duty than the law allowed and
never TO turn to his own account any
moneys collected while in his official
position.
The oath being taken, Mr.. Mason
reverentiy kissed the Bible and then
a. .I..I y L..
check Tor $500 IN payment of the State
tax. Mr.. Mason was then congratu-
lated 10y several gentlemen in the room,
aud while his bond was being approv-
ed 10y Judge Richie, waited in MIR.
Bonds office, chatting pleasantly with
him. His bond being approved, his
commission from Governor Brown of
ticially notifying him of his election to
the position of Sheriff for two years
was handed to him.
While Sheriff Mason was in the prl-
vate office the men he had appointed
as Deputy Sherlffs were taken before

dyce, John +. RelcKhardt, Robert
Fields and George w. Mecastin.
The first five are Democrats and
were deputies under Sheriff Quinn.
The Others are Republicans and all are
white. Mr.. Joseph l.. Heine, who will
act Us chief clerk, occupied the same
position under Sheriff Quinn.
After the deputies were sworn in
they returned to the Sheriff's Office,
where the old men instructed the new
in their duties. By O'Clock the work
OF the office WAS progressing as rapidly
as though nothing had happened.
Sheriff Mason did no work, but spent
most of his time trying to get on the
way the office was run.

SENSATIONAL STATEMENT.
Rev. DIR. johnson says U. 8. Minister
Terrell Is a Mohammedan.

jefferson City. Mo-, Nov. 26.-Rev.
]. T. Johnson, d. D., pastor of the
First Baptist church of this city, who
has just returned from a three months
tour of Turkey and the Holy Land, in
a sermon on the Armenian trouble,
made a sensational statement that
American Minister Terrell ought to be
hanged. He declares that he has
joined the Mohammedan church and is
thus aiding in the persecution and
killing of Christians instead of protect
ing them: that the situation is far
worse than has been reported to the
papers and that Mr.. Terrell prevents
true reports from being sent out, send
ing out false reports himself. DIR.
johnson and his entire party of thirty
four members have signed petition to
President Cleveland begging him to
remove Mr.. Terrell.

New York, Nov. 26.-A Cuban mes

consisted of about 10000 men, while
the Cubans had but about 1900. The
Spaniards were led by Generals Valdes,
Luque and Aldave, and Gen. Maxine
Gomez was at the head of the Cubans.
Fought Thirty-six Hours.
The Cubans had most favorable
position at the bottom of a hill. For
thirty-six hours the opposing forces
fought, but the Spaniards were unable
to drive the Cubans back. The latter,
however, could do no more than hold
their own. Finally, just at critical
moment, Gen. Antonio Maceo of the
Cuban army came rushing in with
force of $500 men. With the aid of this
reinforcement the Spaniards were
quickly routed. The Cubans advanced
then toward Trinidad and Gle.

Der of killed and wounded is placed at

Gen. Campos was wounded.

A GREAT RAILROAD TRUST
FORMED.
Senator Chandler Complains.

Senator William L. Chandler, of New
Hampshire, says the n. Y. Herald.
has addressed letter to President
Cleveland ON the subject of the recent
agreement of railroad presidents, in
which he says:
al make complaint to you, and
through yon, To your Interstate Com
merce Commission, against the trust
and pooling agreement now nearly
finished, of the eight American railroad
trunk lines, and the one Canadian line,
controlling the traffic between New
York City and Chicago.
"The agreement provides every rail-
road in the combine shall make and
maintain the transportation rates pre-
SERTED by board of managers repre-
senting all the roads. This is con-
spiracy in restraint of the trade and
commerce under the act of July 2,
1890.
"The agreement also makes certain
that all competition shall lie abolished
by imposing heavy fines upon any
offending road, which fines are to be
applied for the benefit of the other
roads. This is division of earnings
contrary TO section of the Interstate
Commerce law.
This trust and pooling agreement
can he ann!hilated, as provided by eX-
plicit existing laws of the United
States, by injunction from the COURTS,
by an order OF the Inters tate Com
merce Commission, or by indictment
OF the individuals signing the same.
ut can also easily be stopped 10y a
vigorous appeal from you to Mr.. j.
Plerpont Morgan, whose power over
the nine governors of the nine trunk
lines is as absolute as it was over the
bond syndicate.
at cannot be possible that you in
tend to take upon your administration
the responsibility of fastening upon
your burdened aud helpless people this,
the hugest trust the world ever saw, or
that was ever conceived of, when Que
earnest word from you to your fresh
Attorney General, your ambitious
chairman of your commission, or your
omnipotent banker friend will para
lyze the iniquity of its conception"
