FAlTHFULNEsS OF A DOG.
Saved the Life of a Seriously W ounded
 Officer.

Saved the Life of a Seriously Wounded
 Officer.
 Mrs. Jessie Benton Fremont, in her story of "The Guard" body of young men who followed "The Pathfinder" into the civil war and made brilliant record for their courage and gallantry, tells pathetic story of dumb beast who also was loyal and courageous:
 While the guard-a body of cavalry was drilling one day near St. Louis, a little fox-terrier followed one of the men, Herr Visa, a Hungarian officer, going with him to camp. He could not be driven away.
 The men all made pet of him, and named him "the corporal;" but though he was atfable to them all, he made the Hungarian soldier his companion and friend, sleeping at his feet at night, and following him by day.
 When the guard made their memor- able charge at Springfield, Mo-, the Corporal charged with them, keeping beside his masters horse throughout the battle. Herr Visa was wounded, and fell, apparently dead, in a thicket The corps swept past, his horse fled, wild with terror, but the little Corporal nestled close beside him, licking his face and trying to rouse him.
 There the dog remained through the bitter cold night. When morning came he ran to the distant road, and by his frantic barks and cries induced pass er-by to enter the thicket.
 The man, seeing only cold, stiff body, supposed the soldier to be dead, and would have hurried on; but the Corporal furiously drove him back, and would not be silenced until he saw his master move and speak, when he crouched, dumb and contented, at his feet.

of continuing the policy of protection, and
there was no possible justification for this
attack by an American representative upon
an American system.
In his Boston speech Mr.. Bayard made
this declaration:
''The President stood in the midst of a
strong, self confident, and oftentimes vio-
lent people-men who sought to have their
own way. 1t took real man to govern
the people of the United States"
Mr. Bayard says he used this language
informally" and that at the time he
used it, "a kindly, humorous, post prandial
tone prevailed" that he spoke without
notes, without generalization, and was not
aware that reporter was present.
1t can be no defence for an offensive
speech publicly made by diplomat, that
it was not premeditated, and that in speak
ing carelessy, newspaper reporter may
have reported him inacurately.
Mr.. Bayard's explanation is clearly one
that doesn't explain, the mildest criticism
of his speech being, that he blundered
which in the case of high National repre-
sentative abroad, is the worst possible exhi-
bition he could make of himself
The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1896-02-01
MR.. EAYARD'S EXPLANATION
THAT DOES NOT EXPLAIN.

The House of Representatives at WASH
ington, recently passed resolution calling
upon ambassador Thomas Francis Bayard
to explain certain portions of his speeches
recently delivered at Boston, England, and
Edinburgh, Scotland.
Our readers will remember, that the
speeches in question, were exceedingly
caustic in their criticism of Protection,
which the Delaware statesman denounced
as the Unsuitable growth o. Socialism, and
while their language and tone may not
have been out of place at Democratic
meeting down in Sussex, yet were in ex
tremely bad taste when delivered on British
soil, intended, as they were, to cater to
English prejudices, at the expense of a
recognized American fiscal system.
For instance in his Edinburgh speech
Mr.. Bayard used this language:
SIN my country have witnessed the in
satiable growth of form of socialism
styled protection, which has done more to
corrupt public life, to Danish men of indie
pendent mind from public councils and to
lower the tone of national representation
than any other single cause. Protection.
now controlling the sovereign power OF
taxation, has been perverted from its proper
function of creating revenue to support
the government into an engine of selfish
profit, allied with combinations, called
trusts. 1t thus has Slapped the popular
conscience by giving corrupting largess to
special classes, and it throws legislation
into the political market where jobbers and
chafferers take the place of statesmen.
In explanation of these very remarkable
utterances, Mr.. Bayard says:
''No political canvas was pending or APP
preaching in this country when my address,
was made, and no interference or participa-
ton in local or party political concerns in
this country was therefore possible.
The address consisted of my personal
opinions upon governmental institutions in
general-the moral forces and tendencies
which underle them-and the government
tai policies which assist in the converse
ton oil the freedom of the individual as an
essential integer OF human pr0gress-and of
the permanence of civilization.
The judgments so delivered were formed
by me after careful deliberation, and, in
their prosecution, sundry historical facts and
arguments tending to sustain them were
advanced"
Mr.. Bayard's explanation is ingenious
but not candid, simply because he under
takes to defend his un-American declam-
tions. behind the mask of personal opin-
ion." But so far as the bad taste Of their
utterance is concerned, how does the dis
tinction between the individual and the
official, lessen their offensiveness or
render them less questionable? The prin-
ciple Of protection had been the underlying
doctrine, Of the fiscal policy Of this country
for generation. But two days before the
delivery of his address, an overwhelming
majority Of the American people, had
repeated their confidence in the expediency

A LIVELY DEBATE.

That Senator Bruce's Civil Service Re
form Bill, will have a rough road to travel
in the Senate of Maryland, was made plain
in the lively debate that occurred in that
body on Tuesday.
The evident plan adopted by Senators
opposed to it, is to destroy the bill by
amendments exempting the counties Of
the state from its provisions, and Senator
Bruce is credited with having arrived at
the conclusion, to accept an amendment
limiting the Bill to Baltimore City.
Senator John Walter Smith seemed to be
the leader of the opposition to the bill on
Tuesday, on the Democratic, with Senator
Wilkinson good second on the Republi-
can side.
At times the debate took a lively personal
turn as the following little ''tilt' between
Senator Bruce and Smith attests The
latter interrupted the former by remarking,
that there were other Senators in the
chamber that had some virtue as we'll as
the Senator from Baltimore.
President Bruce at once warmly replied.
that it was not for the Senator to accuse
him of being pharisee and arrogating to
himself all the virtue of the Senate. That
he had made appointments here that were
not all right.
President Bruce said he had abstained in
his argument from using illustrations that
he might have used from the Senator's APP
pointments last session.
"Iou, SIR he said, appointed an
assistant flag raiser at 50 day and IA
pump-keeper at s. day. | will not be
put in any such II position by you. There
has been Just retributon for these
things
Senator Smith asked if these appoint
ments had not been made by order of
the Senate.
President Bruce replied, NO. and said
that others had been made. He had come
to the last session green, but had gotten
some practical insight into things then.
He then related how pressure had been
brought to bear on him to secure the
position of assistant flag raiser for Il man in
Baltimore, and he had refused.
Continuing, he said: ''There is no spoils
system, however, in Worcester county.
That is just little paradise into which the
serpent of the spells system has never
entered. | don't affect to be anything
more than man. 1 am no Puritan or
saint" He had advocated the law in 1891
when his party was in power and still
advocated it now that there had been IA
complete transfer of power. He then
spoke of the absolute power of one or two
men in the State to dictate everything and
of legislature being sold here in open
market in the past and urged the Senators
to put all these things behind them and
start off on an era of new government.
They should legslate to secure social,
political and moral progress. The press
was here watching them with its thousand
Argus eyes and the people would hold them
responsible at the next election.
Senator Wilkinson then offered an
amendment that the law should not 90
into effect in any county until it was first
submitted to vote of the people and
adopted.

WHETHER the Hon. Thomas Bracket
Reed shall ever have the opportunity to
display his ability in the Presidential Office
or not, certain it is that the excellent con-
dition of business in the lower House OF
Congress is largely attributable to his ad-
ministrative ability as speaker.
He has shown admir- ie discretion in
the management Of an overwhelming ma
jority, not little of which is new or crude
in public business, has organized the COM
mitteCs with less friction than we can re-
call on any such occasion in the past: has
judiciously represEed cranks and blather-
sixties, and has infused into his associates
in leadership the spirit of discipline essen
tial to the direction of a huge party ma
jority in the popular branch of Congress
The contrast between the record of the
House and the record OF the Senate is as
shameful as it is startling. The revenue
and the bond bills are still under
"debate" in the Senate, which will prob
ably 90 on for weeks yet The silver men
have virtually set up a blockade against all
legislation which is not shaped in the
interest of free coinage, and their mulish
opposition, which cannot possibly gain any
thing for silver against the House and the
President, will result only in loss of fn-
ancial credit to the government and fresh
uncertainty in the ranks of business. For
long time past the Senate has been
growing worse at every session as an OBJ
structor of legislative business with its
ever-growing increase in membership, and
the sharp contrast which it presents to the
House to-day enforces more than ever the
necessity of parliamentary reform which
will rescue it from the chronic incapacity
into which it has fallen for the direction Of
its own affairs
