WHAT good joke the present good
times are on the calamity howlers of
the Republican party. Their only
hope of saving themselves, is by claim
ing that their party caused the good
times and by putting forth .e ride
ulous assertion that prosperity is due
to the possibility of Republican return
to power in 1897. What an absurd DO
sition they are in and what frantic eff
forts they are making to get out of it.
First, they say there could be 10 pros
perity under a reduced tariff. Now,
that there is prosperity, they say that
the laws make no difference. 1t is the
way people cast their vote at election
time. 1t does not matter about tariff
laws, so they say, as long as you vote
the Republican ticket. So they 90 on
cackling in a senile way and still fur
ther strengthening the impression that
their party is fast getting on to its do
tage.

OUR people should not neglect the
important fact that late in the month
of August, Frederick will celebrate her
one hundred and fiftieth anniversary,
and it is the intention of numerous
progressive persons to make the event
one of considerable interest and value
in this city. Those who have not yet
shown spirit of local pride in cooper
ating with the several committees,
should do so at once, that things may be
put on a proper basis. Meetings are
held weekly at the residence of the en-
ergetic president, Col. ID. c. Winebren-
ner, and chairmen of committees es-
pecially should be on hand to assist in
the worthy undertaking. The cele-
bration should be creditable one or
none at all, and at this late day none
should refuse support to those who are
doing all In their power to make the
occasion success. No public demori-
stration eve. held in this city has fail
ed to rebound to the honor of our
town, and 1t would be lasting shame
and disgrace to let the proposed pro-
ject fail from lack OF interest. Awake
and go to work.

ANOTHER lynching is added to the
too greatly overburdened annals of the
State, and makes the matter one of
special moment to the people. From
what we can understand, Governor
Brown was only doing what was his
official privilege in view of the
facts in the case, when he granted a
reprieve to Price, but the moral effect
on the people of Caroline county was
vastly different from what was expect
ed. To them it seemed only point of
law tending to an ultimate pardon,
and all efforts of those who undertook
TO explain the circumstances resulted
in no good. Sallie Dean was avenged
by an angry mob, and justice seems
satisfied. All fair-minded people
strongly deplore lynch law, especially
so in this instance, when another and
higher court was yet to be appealed to.
The chances are the lower courts
would have been sustained, but the
lynchers would take no risks. We are
sure this action did not represent the
wishes of the better element of the peo-
pie Of Caroline county or even of the
entire State. The majesty of the law
must be respected even if it does at
times seem arbitrary and contrary to
the spirit of justice.

WHEN the crops were blessed with
abundance in 1891, the Republican
press gave the entire credit to their
party, leaving the goodness of heaven
entirely out of the matter. In 1895,
when business is booming along under
a Democratic administration, the Re
publican press again atfirms that it is
all due to the Republican victories of
last week. How in the name of Sam
Hill did the earth ever manage to spin
around the sun before the Republican
party was created by a few sore-head
wings and a couple of tin symbals.

THE Baltic canal is the outcome of a
project that has been thought of as long
ago as the 18th century, when the route
was surveyed by the rough methods
then in vogue. Some authorities even
assert that the work was actually COM
menced by the laborious process of
manual labor. Its completion merely
goes to show the tenacious German
character which perseveres in spite of
time and difficulties. Would that the
United States had the same feeling to
animate it. We would then have a
canal across the isthmus before 1900.

Gov. ATGELD, at least for once in his
life, did creditable act when he
signed the libel law bill which has Just
passed the Illinois Legislature. The
bill does not prevent the punishment
of wilful and pernicious libellers, but it
does protect newspapers from black
mailing shyster lawyers who thrive on
unjust libel suits which they persuade
clients to bring against newspapers.
Under the new law in Illinois, no
plaintiff shall sue for libel unless he or
she first writes formally to the newspa-
per and asks for a retraction or correc-
ton of the alleged libelous utterance.

THE County Tax rate for 1895 has
been fixed at 81 cents on the 800, the
same amount as last year. The COM
missioners were in hopes of reducing
the rate for this year, but owing to the
heavy snow-drifts of last winter,
which required an expenditure of &c.
600, with 81 ,296 for the Kelly Institute
aud several other items, it was impos-
sble to do SO. A strong appeal was
made to the co misioners by the
Board of School Commissioners, for all
additional sum over the appropriation
OF last year, claiming the schools could
be kept open longer aud that much
better results would follow. After a
careful consideration, the amount was
increased from S25 500 to S2S, 600, an
increase of $4,000. The percentage for
the various needs of the county are as
follows: Public Schools, 5.4-lO; Public
Roads; S.l-l0; Montevue, $40; Bond
ed Debt 2-l0; Court Expenses, 4.4-l0;

THIS week, the CITIZEN, in accord
ance with its annual custom, observes
the Glorious 4th as holiday and issues
the paper one day in advance, so that
our subscribers can devote few hours
that day reading the latest local news
and some excellent material especially
devoted to that memorable day. The
observance of the anniversary of the
signing of the Declaration of Independ,
ence has not in the slightest degree de-
Perforated from its earliest incipiency,
and patriotic America shows boldly to
the world that same spirit which ami
mated our forefathers in the great
struggle for that right, justice and in
dependence we now enjoy. Over a
hundred years have passed since that
eventful day, when the tremor Sf IA
muscle, the failure of heartbeat, or
the slightest alteration of an avowed
principle meant so much to this coun-
try. Those brave, patriotic and ster-
ling signers of the Declaration of our
Independence, by whose act the yoke of
thraldom to the mother country was
thrown off and new era of prosperity
begun after long struggle and the
sacrifice of many noble lives, deserve
everlasting remembrance and every
true American will pause fora moment
and consider how much we owe them
for our present condition.

WE congratulate the people
upon having a majority of the City
Council on the Democratic side, as well
as a Democratic Mayor. All state
ments to the contrary Notwithstanding,
the enemy made use of every resort to
win this time, but failed because the
people demanded a continuance OF
Democra tic government. The gain Of
the Republicans is easily understood,
and instead of being an indication Of
increased power and influence, shows
how much they depend upon the DEM
ocratic stay away or negative vote.
All things considered, it was great
Uictoyy for the faithful Democracy Of
Frederick, who realize what it would
mean to have a return to Republican
supremacy. No, Frederick City will
always remain Democratic and Re-
publcans now realize it only too well.
WE are at loss to understand why
any Democrat in Maryland, in the con-
vention or otherwise, should feel called
on to denounce Governor Brown. AS
the official representative of the party
in the State, no Democrat should hest
tate to accord him every credit for the
manner in which he has conducted the
affairs of his office. His appointments
have all been of the highest character,
and he has been bold and Independent
enough to do that which he considered
right. We likewise say the same of
President Cleveland. the rightfnl
leader of our National forces. Whilst
he may have differed with many of his
followers, he at least has been coura-
geous enough to announce his policy,
and his bold stand on the money ques-
ton, as advocated by his able Secretary
of the Treasury, will save the Democ-
racy of the Union from committing it.

LIME AND ALCOHOL.
The Two Latest Methods of Presery
ing Fruits and Vegetables.

Fruits and vegetables are preserved
in France by simply bedding them
in lime. The process has been tried
successfully on oranges, cherries,
grapes, pears, apples, prunes, goose
berries, onions, potatoes, tomatoes,
sugar beets and shelled chestnuts.
The following claims are made for
this method: 1. Tie lime does not in
the least attack the skin of the fruit,
even after prolonged contact. :. The
fruit does not dry any more in the air.
3. No change takes place in the fruit
other than such as is the natural con-
sequence of it's evolution.
n still later method is that of pre-
serving fruits by means of the vapor
Of alcohol This process, which has
hitherto only been tried with grapes,
is extremely simple. ACCORDING, to
the invntOr, another Ffnrcnman,
it can be practised anywhere, and
needs no special apparatus In every
place where uniform low tempera-
ture can be assured, grapes can be
stored in closed compartments, add
ing alcohol either in a jar or even
saturating with it the wooden frame
work which supports the grapes. The
cost of the alcohol, it appears, is very
small.

SIMIAN FAMILIARITY.

A very pretty girl had an experience
with three of the monkeys in Sohmid1' 5
bird store ON the avenue yesterday
that has given her better insight into
monkey nature than she possessed le-
fore.
In her left hand she was holding a
5O-cent bunch of violets and her
pocketbook, and on her head she wore
a dashing Gainsborough hat with os-
trich plumes. Two Of the monkeys
were in a cage on line with the top
Of the hat and the third was in cage
by himself below, where she had only
to reach out her right hand to touch
him. This girl loves monkeys, and all
three of the monkeys seemed to take
to her as naturally as though they had
known her a long time. Just as the
monkey in the cage by himself
clutched the bunch Of violets and the
pocketbook, the couple in the upper
story snatched the hat. 1t came off,
hatpins, veil and all, and came with
such remarkable suddenness that she
grabbed her jacket for fear that would
go the same way.
When the monkeys surrendered the
millinery the hatpins were bent dou-
bic and the inside of the cage was so
strewn with feathers that it looked as
though the inmates had been moult-
ing. And now the young lady declares
a monkey is nasty beast.-Washing-
ton Star.
