LEGISLATIVE SURPRISE.

We made last week short editorial COM
ment on Legislative snakes, which hide
beneath the mass of hurried bills that pass
during the closing hours of a Legislative
session, only to be discovered when too late
to be killed; and instanced one such
"varmint" discovered since the close of the
recent session of the Legislature.
This week another surprise has been
sprung upon the public in the discovery,
that the late Legislature had repealed the
famous Eastern Shore law wHhom knorimy
1t.
The history of its unconscious GU repeal
by our Legislative salons, is an amusing
commentary upon the acumen which dis.
tinguished so many members of that august
body.
The new election law which Is q pom
derous act, was introduced in the Senate
by Mr.. Dober, of Baltimore, having been
prepared by the Reform League, of that
city. The bill was referred to the Com
mittee on Election Reforms of which ma
jority were Republicans, and Senator Ran
dali, a reputable lawyer, also Republican,
was chairman. The bill was favorablv
considered by the committee and was finally
reported favorably by Mr.. Randall with
upward of fifty amendments. Most of
these amendments were accepted by the
Democrats in the Senate, their opposition
being directed against new registration in
the counties of the State, and which they
embodied in one of the amendments added
to the bill, as reported from committee.
This amendment several others offered by
the Democrats, was opposed by the Repub-
lican Senators, and it was generally under

THE MARYLAND REPUBLICAN
CONVENTION.

Maryland Republicans are to be con-
graduated upon the results of the State
Convention which met in Baltimore on
Wednesday. Four representative men have
been selected as Delegates-at-large to ST.
Louis, and the platform adopted has the right
sound money ring. 1t declares for the great
American principle of protection to Ameri-
can industries, favors the admirable doc
trine Of reciprocity, and the delegates have
been left unfettered by instructions to sup
port at St. Louis the man for President,
whom they believe best represents the
sentiments and is the choice of the Repub-
licans of the State.
The spirit Of harmony that marked the
proceedings Of the convention is no less a
pleasing indication of solid and united
party throughout the State.

Beautiful Old Age.
Hartselle (Ala.) ENQUIRER


There is such a thing as beautiful
old age. When the rosy color is. all
gone, when the pretty dimples have
become wrinkles, and youths charm
ing grace has disappeared beneath the
gnawing tooth of time, then comes the
period that tries Of what material the
man or woman is made. Alas for the
Old age that has nothin. left it but
wrinkles and gray hairs. Nature takes
horrible revenge upon the life that
has been given over to selfish pleasure
seeking first and few objects more pitt
tul than an old, peevish, discontented
man OF woman, with life steadily going
out like the flame of burned-out can
die and with nothing pleasant to dwell
upon in the past, nothing hopeful to
look forward to in the future. But
lovely old age! Draw up the armchair,
place the footstool before it, and bring
the young people to look upon the per-
feet beauty that comes when the year
has been a prosperous one and the
shock is fully ripe for the garner. There
is no other beauty like 1.-THE beauty
of matured, well-rounded, harmonious
| life, ready and waiting for the change
that will come as softly as the closing
| of summer evening.
Blessed is the household that has an
arm chair in it, where the closing of
life is filled with submission and hope,
with resignation and peace and trust.
\ figure is in my mind while l write
the figure of sweet old woman
whose hair was as white as a snow
drift. What storms had passed over
that whitened head! Along what thorny
paths had she been compelled some
times to go. Troubles closed around
her many times, until it seemed that
there was no way of escape; but she
was led on, step by step, and there was
always the pillow Of cloud by day, or
fire by night. She came past all the
thorny ways at last, and rested on the
shores of the placid river, "What a
cheertully sweet good woman!' was the
cry Of everyone who saw her, and peo-
pie turned and looked after her linger-
ingly. "What cheerfully sweet good
woman.
Blessed is the household that has an
| armchair IN 1t. Put the armenian IN
the cheeriest corner. Let light and
pleasant conversation and general
laughter be about it. If you have
cares, keep them to yourself. The
trembling form that sits in the arm
chair has borne the burden for a long
time, and has the right to lay it down.
Some day there will be no use for the
old chair. The snowy hair will be
smoothed down for the last time; the
wrinkled face will settle into profound
repose. Keep smiles and sunny warmth
for trembling old age while it is here.

HENDERSON, n THURSDAY, JULY 30 1896

Bryan, while master Of eloquence,
prepares his speeches with care. He
writes them, prunes, pares and rehear-
ses them. He told me once that he
would no more speak without prepara
ton than he would plunge win.less
and reckless into an abyss. His life is
quiet, except 50 far as he dlstn:bs j;
with his pilgrimages OF politics. He
has no circle of friends; pays and re-
ceives no social visits. He is in no
sense ladys man. He is not 4 flower
of society.
In dress Bryan could not be called
a fop. Neither could he excite the car
toonist by any Greeleyan peculiarites
Of raiment. His garb is modest and
of dark reserve. Bryan will win no
notice for the clothes he wears.
In epitome Bryan is the West. He
stands by his game and his guns. Bat
he has nothing Of malice for the East.
His life is simple. With his wife as a
companion going nowhere she might
not so, he makes up existence meeting
men, reading books, making speeches
to further bis political beliefs.
Such is hit or miss sketch Of a
man who has ever been consistent; who
served two terms in Congress without
a mark TO his discredit; and who only
failed Of re election to his third term
from an over production Of Cleveland
ism. He is not mugwump, not a
Populst, bat Democrat who gets his
principles and his inspirations in a
party past, before the cancer of Cleve-
landsm has poisoned his blood. The
party need not blush in shame for its
nominee. It has selected as good a
Democrat and as true an American
as any who ever bought bond or
owned bank. Alfred Lewis, in
