If the present Congress is weighed in
the scales of justice it is impossible to
escape the conclusion that il lacks in in
telligence or moral qualities. There are
a number of able men and honest patri-
otto men in that body, but the majority
are either incompetent or corrupt. They
either take brides or are controlled by
ADLER minds who receive rewards for their
treachery. This fact is steadily impress
ing itself on the public mind. And that
Cleveland has become the most corrupt
man that ever reached the Presidential
chair is the belief, we are persuaded, of a
majority of the people who have seriously
examined his record. He is by nature
coarse, vulgar man in his moral fiber and
to this is added the alcoholic habit or
disease. The gossip of Washington is
that all these ducking and fishing excur-
sions which he takes are but excuses for
drunk spells. The alcohol habit with him
takes the periodic spree" character. Oh,

the misery it has brought to the people

In the Circuit Court
For Cecil County
In Equity.

JOHN NJ. WEBSTER. In 'f Equity Gtn'S
The object of this suit is to procure a decree for
a divorce vipculO matrimonii divorcing the
plaintiff, Jennie E. Webster, from the defendant,
John NJ. Webster.
The bill states that on or about the 9th day of
August 1885, the said Jennie E. Webster was NAL
ried to her husband, John W. Webster, and with
him resided in Cecil County, Maryland, until the
oath of August 1890 The bill further alleges that
the conduct of the plaintiff toward her husband,
the said John M. Webster. has always been kind
and affectionate and above reproach and that the
said John NJ Webster, has, without any Just cause
or reason, abandoned and deserted her, and has
declared his intention to live with her no longer
and that said abandonment has continued I'M
interruptedy for more than three years and is
deliberate and final and the separation of the
parties beyond any reasonable expectation of
reconciliation.
The bill further alleges that the plaintiff and
defendant have had one child born to them from
said marriage whose name is Webster, who
is years of age.
And that the said John NJ. Webster is a nom
resident of the State of Maryland and does not
reside within the jurisdiction of this Court and
concludes with prayer that she may be divorced
ster, and she may have such other and further
relief as her case may require.
1t is thereupon, this Twentieth day of February,
1885, ordered by the Circuit Court for Cecil County
in Equity, that the plaintiff cause copy of this
order to be inserted in some newspaper published
in Cecil County, once in each of four successive

object and substance of this bill, warning him to
appear in this Court in person or by solicitor
before the 18th day of April next to show cause,
if any he has, why decree ought not to be passed
as prayed. -

Mr.. w. T. Warburton of the
Elkton bar being of an observant
and inquiring disposition was
struck with the thought of inquiry
how many persons other than at
taches of the Office, "dropped in"
socially and called on business in a
twelve month. His curiosity led
him to keep a record of his visitors;
and the number of visits amounted
to over 5000. OF course the same
persons-many of them-called
several times during that period.
The business resulting from such
a number of visitors ought to keep
a lawyer in bread and butter with
coffee for breakfast. We reckon it
does.

1t is generally admitted, by the demo-
Gratis themselves, that the democratic
party is already as good as out of the Pres
idential fight, that the party has no hope
of electing President next fall, nor even
portion of the next Congress to give the
party a respectable influence in that body
These are conceded facts, not denied by
the most intelligent members ofthe party.
If this hopelessly beaten, denoralized and
shattered party had the sense and patriot
ism to take itself out of the contest and
let the Peoples party have square,
unincumbered battle with the republican
party as the representative of the money
power, the republican party will be beat
en-, routed, horse and foot. There is no
question about this result if the hopelessly
beaten democratic party would consent to
withdraw and not make diversion in
favor of its old enemy by putting up
dummy candidate at the St. Louis con-
vention.
The leaders of the republican party are
already distributing offices under the
next administration, assuming with SUI
preme arrogance that they have virtually
the President and Congress to be installed
in power next year. In their lofty
assumption they feign to ignore the exist
ence of the Peoples party, while regard
ing with lofty disdain the shattered, de-
moralized democratic party.
If the democrats would keep their party
off the field the Peoples party would
clean out the republican party, which now
represents nothing but the English money
power, so effectually that the party would
never again rally. With the money power
defeated and broken the republican party
has no rallying point to meet OIL. While
the leaders of the party brag to retain
their standing before the public, that the
party is sure to sweep everything, they
know without Cleveland and the pur-
chased leaders of the democratic party to
make a diversion for them the party is
lost.

The Drama.

The full house which greeted the
performers in the "Miller's Daugh
ter" in the Town Hall last Satur-
day evening, reflects the greatest
praise upon the local talent of the
Sun and also upon the Rising Sun
Band, under whose auspices the
drama was given. Although one of
the worst nights for travellers to be
abroad, the hall was filled. The
different characters were all very
we'll rendered and the Band and
performers have been highly COM
plimented since. The gross receipts
were something over $4S.

The republicans seem to be get
ting mighty sweet on Cleveland.
Even the Appeal COOS gently and
says
"Party leaders think another
bond issue inevitable"
Which ''party's leaders" say so?
The Appeal continues,
"And of course the New York
bankers will bring about a pres
sure which the President has been
unable to resist in the past"
Why wasn't he able to resist?
All the resistance required was for
the President to obey the law not a
dollar would have gone out of that
pile of gold to pay for bonds. Not
a word of reproach from these re-
publican papers for Cleveland's
violations of law and general out
