Certificates not Promptly Re
turned.

The Clerk of the Court of this county
is experiencing considerable incOnve-
nience by the dilitary ministers not
promptly returning marriage certifi-
Gates to the office. Notwithstanding,
there is penalty of not less than $40
or more than 81 900 for the violation of
this law, there are many of the certifi-
Gates not returned until long after the
prescribed time 80 days. Every license
which the Clerk issues is divided into
three parts: One directing the minis
ter to marry the couple, one to be
filled out by the minister and to be
given to the couple, one to be filled out
and returned to the Clerk of the Court
within thirty days after the marriage
has been performed.

The CIVIL SERVICE REFORM AS

The CIVIL SERVICE REFORM AS
ISOLATION, is far from being pleased
with the actions of the Republican
party, since its advent into power, and
both by resolutions and addresses de-
plore and condemn the condition of
affairs as they exist at present. The
able and fearless president of the asso-
citation, Mr.. Charles ]. Bonaparte, who
was selected by the Republican party
as its representative on the Board of
Election Supervisors of Baltimore City,
prior to the November election, had
the following to say at a meeting of the
association in Baltimore on Tuesday
evening last: Mr.. Bonaparte started
out to give an outline of the warning
he had sounded to the Democratic
party which had not been listened
to, and then said:
l say tonight to the leaders of the Repub-
1ican party that it will be driven from
power before it has ruled as many months
as it's rival did years, unless they promptly
rebuke the insolence and rapacity of it's
parasites, aDdnuOn at once ana Hnally,
practices decisively condemned by public
opinion, and satisfy far better than they
have yet shown either ability or desire to
satisfy the reasonable expectations of those
through whose votes, labors and sacrifices
power was given them.
II say to Governor Lowndes that if he
were a candidate for his present office at an
election to be held tomorrow, thousands of
votes which he received in November would
be cast for his late, or almost any other,
competitor, and thousands more would not
be cast at all. He would be in grave
danger of defeat, and l do not believe that
in this city his vote would equal that ofhis
party in 1894. 1t is fair to say that the
gathering storm of public Indignation,
whose mutterings may be drowned in the
clamor of officeseekers and the wrangling of
greedy factions for the Governor and his
advisers, but grows daily louder and more
threatening, is due to nothing which Gov
error Lowndes has himself said or done.
And it is due much less to what the General
Assembly has done or its members have
said-at least in debate-than to what it
has left undone, and to the ilnprudent boasts
of notorious political adventurers-bo
apparently but too we'll acknowledgement
ing his probable action, and the motives
and influences which will determine this.

OUR Republican friends are SO occu-
pied with office-seeking problems at
Annapolis, that questions of legislation
are entirely ignored. 1t is stated that
large proportion of the members
elected to both branches of the Legis-
lature are applicants themselves for of
flee, which must be their excuse for not
being more watchful of the good peo-
pie who sent them to Annapolis, and
who expected such wonders at their
hands.

THE cold mountain water of Thur
mont has immense staying qualities,
IS evidenced by the little affair in the
House of Delegates, between Colonel
aouzer, of this county, member of the
House OF Delegates, and Mr.. Smith, a
rother Republican delegate of Cecil
'ounty. The discussion was in refer
nee to the repeal of the Eastern Shore
Jaw, some of the delegates claiming
lat their conscience" governed their
;tion. Colonel Rouzer stated that he
as tired of the conscience talk, where
BON Delegate Smith started for the
1lonel, with the evident intention of
hooking him out in the first round,
1t the effort of friends and the pluck
the Col. prevented serious trouble.

A New Life of Grant.

For upwards of two years the publishers
of 'McClure's Magazine have been quietly
gathering material and pictures for a new
life of General. Grant. They believe that
they have made larger collection of por-
traits of Grant (many of them rare) and
other pictures relating to his life, than has
ever been made before. This biography
will bring out the real Grant in the same
vivid, thorough and interesting manner as
Lincoln is presented in the Life " now
running in McClure's. They have been
fortunate in securing the cooperation of
Col. F. d. Grant, who has most of his
fathers papers.
