Children's Fresh Air Society

1t is always pleasure to write about
the work of the Children's Fresh Air
Society. This beautiful charity has
now been in operation in Baltimore
City five years and the work is grow
ing marvelously each year. During
these five years many neglected little
oues have been taken from their Ov-
erty-stricken homes, where vice
abounds and where breath of fresh
air is almost an unobtainable Injury,
and have been transported to the midst
of green fields to be ministered to by
kind and loving friends. Another
year the Fresh Air Society of Baltl-
more appeals to those living in the
country TO take these children into
their homes for two weeks. where
they can have fresh air for their little
lungs, good country milk for their hun.
CRY little bodies, new ideals of living
for their ready little minds to see and
perhaps try to initiate, and love and
kindness to make happy memories in
lives that have all too few bright days.
The society prefers to send the children
In parties of ten to sixty or more Ey-
cry expense is paid by the society, the
children are provided with suitable
clothing and are pronounced free from
contagious diseases. No salaries are
paid in the Fresh Air work. Further

MIR. WELLINGTON has adopted the
same policy in dealing with the Fred
erick Republicans as he insisted upon
Governor Lowndes carrying out
when he desired to show the Legisla-
ture who had the distribution of pat
ronage. Wellington has allowed DIR.
Heffner, his lieutenant in this county,
to name young Lampe to a position at
West Point. Now, boys, this means
that Haffner will have word to say
about the distribution of patronage
should Mckinley win the fight. In
spite of this fact. the Motter faction
claim that they will be able to carry
the county at the next primary and
many freely assert that there will not
be five districts in the county for Haff-
ner. The fight promises to be inter
esting.

A GREAT pity that Mr.. Cleveland
did not write letter some time ago.
We heartily endorse his views on the
financial question, but whilst loyal
Democrats were battling for their con-
victions all over the country, the Pres

captured the convention. Whitney,
the able New York leader and the man
who nominated Cleveland, has given

GENERAL WATTS, who has just been
nominated for Governor by the Demo-
Gratis of West Virginia, has openly de-
clared for silver, and will conduct free
silver campaign. 1t will be recalled
that West Virginia is the home of Hon.
William L. Wilson. the author of the
Wilson Tariff Bill and now one of
President Cleveland's cabinet. Mr..
Hoke Smith, also a member of Presi-
dent Cleveland's cabinet, was unable
to have his State declare for the Presi-
dents financial policy. Yet German,
who has been denounced by the Cleve-
land combination, favored resolutions
endorsing the President and declaring
for an honest gold dollar This will no
doubt appear strange to President
Cleveland.
