Glade Church Injunction Sus-
tanned.

The controversy over the removal
of the Glade Reformed Church to
the village of Walkersville, three
quarters of mile distant, was
settled on Saturday last, oy the de-
cision handed down by the Cir
cult Court for Frederick County, in
the Injunction suit of the members,
versus the pastor aud building com
mittee, sustaining the injunction pro-
hibiting the tearing down and re-
moval of the material of the church.
The Glade Church was among the first
buildings of divine worship in the
county, the ground on which it was
erected being set apart for that pur-
pose prior to the Revolution. and con-
fiscated by the State after the colony
of Maryland was declared free and in-
dependent of Great Britain. By an
Act of Assembly of Maryland, the
ground was granted back to the MEM
bers of the Glade Reformed congrega-
ton upon the condition that it should
be used as place of worship and bury
ing ground. 1t has been used as a
church site for the past $50 years and
the ancestry of several generations now
lie beneath the soil of the burying
ground. Several churches have been
erected upon the site in place of the
Olu OucS ludl DecdLl1e 100 ullaDlQaIe0
for use. When an attempt was made
to tear down the present church, which
was built in 1880, at a cost of between
$4,000 and $1,000 and use the material
In the erection of new edifice i'm
Walkersville, the project met with
much objection by the members whose
ancestors lie III the old burying ground
and which would naturally, if the
church was removed, be neglected and
go to ruin. Argument in the case was
heard on the 18th inst, and bill and an
swer. Messrs. j. G. Motter and p
Frank Pampel represented the com
mittee applying for the Injunction re-
straining the tearing down and re-
moval of the material of the church.
and Hon. Milton G. Urner and Jacob
Rohrback argued for the removal. AT
the conclusion of the arguments.
which were lengthy, the court held
the case under advisement until last
Saturday. 1t is now to be hoped that
since the decision of the matter in
court the members will Law aside All
prejudice and again work harmonious
ly together.

DRY GOODS MEN OF THE
COUNTRY!
Do you Favor the Maintenance OF
the Present Stable Gold Stand
ard of Value? Let us Hear
From You.

1t is the persistent policy to look up
rather than down, to count the rays OF
sunshine and glimpse of blue sky rather
than The clouds, and to be generally
optimistic rather than the reverse.
But it is impossible not to recognize
the grave dangers that beset the bu i
ness interests of the country, owing to
the peculiar circumstances that at pres
ent surround the candidacy of McKin-
ley for President We do not rank
among these dangers the possibility or
probability of change in the tariff.
We believe that outside of interested
manufac ureis the great mass of Repub-
lican business men who have weight
and influence in Washington are not
in favor of any radical change in the
rates of duties and are heartily oppos-
ed to any such revision as is associated
with the name of the man who at this
writing seems to have so favorable a
chance of being nominated at St. Louis.
Any question of tariff revision, howev-
er, is entirely over-shadowed by the
vastly more important one of whether
the next PRECEDENT of tn Uned
States is to be strong, outspoken and
fearless supp rUer of the existing stable
gold standard or fiabby, trucking
and disingenous associate of those who
for selfish reasons desire to see our cur
rency debased, and our standa' d of
value cut in half and rendered subject
to constant fluctuations Mr.. McKin-
ley's record is persistent panderrr to
the unsettlement of our financial sys-
tenn; whether he has changed his
views of late or not no one knows, for
in the face of repeated requests for in
formation he remains eXasperatingly
silent.
Loud as McKinley's boom has been
so far, it is by no means a foregone
conclusion that he will obtain the NOM
inatiOn. We cannot believe other men
of vastly greater strength and with
vastly superior records will be Ignored
by their party in favor of one whose
private and public career has given evil
idence of no more than the most ordi-
nary abilities; but should Mckinley be
nominated, then will come to the Dem.
ocFatic party the greatest opportunity
il has had siuce 1884. Should it nomi-
natea good man and come out fear
lessly with an uncompromising gold
standard plank it will switch thou
ands Of Republicans into its ranks who
will fully cover the detection of those
who favor free silver, uncertainty and
business depression.
For these reasons it is highly impor-
tant, not only from a business point of
view, but even from that of mere poll
tics, that the merchants of the entire
country who favor the maintenance of
the gold standard should place them
selves distinctly on record. Let the
dry goods trade make itself plainly
heard on this question 1t spoke
through our columns with no uncertain
voice against the continuance of the
purchase of silver by the government
in 1885, let us hear from it again at
this critical period in our financial his
tory.-D1y Goods Economist.

ONE OF the most amusing items of
news during the past week, was the
announcement that Messrs. Yelling
ton, Sloan and Company had conclud-
ed to administer a dose Of taffy to our
distinguished Governor, in order that
his remarkable backbonei. might be
made little firmer The place select
ed for the administration of the taffy
was Atlantic City. After several sea-
side julips had been tested, the news
was gently broken to the Governor.
Since his late good fortune nothing
seems to surprise him, and numerous
bees have teen buZzing around him of
late; he took the taffy held out by We'll
lington and Sloan, without murmur,
and seemed to think it was but fit
ting reward for the distinguished serv-
ices he had rendered his State. So it
was concluded that Wellington should
present his name to the Republican
National Convention as the candidate
for Vice-President on the ticket with
Mckinley. The fact that Wellington
and all his forces were bitterly opposed
to Mckinley and refused to have him
Endorsed at the State Convention, made
but little difference to the combination.
The main thing was to get offa spread
eagle speech about Maryland's Repub-
lican Governor. The people must know
that several thousand Democrats, led
by few selfish journals, had betrayed
their party and for the first time in
thirty years, had turned the State over
into the hands of the Republicans.
That all kinds of promises had been
made to the leaders of the band of de-
serters, if they would only administer
a whitening rebuke to the wicked
German; that all the promises. so to
speak, had been forgotten; that old and
established customs had been ignored;
mob of Legislators had assembled at
Annapolis, and that among other laws
one assessment bill had been passed,
which enabled corporations to escape
just taxation; bonds and stocks to pass
with protecting clause, and that the
lands of the farmer and the homes of
the mechanics and laborer. would be
compelled to pay the taxes of the State
That they had looked after the rich,
whilst they had placed the burdens of
taxation on the poor. Then Mr. We'll
lington would make his bow to the Re-
publican convention, having introduce
ed himself as the fellow with the iron
cheek, who had captured the big plum,
made easy by the thousands of Demo-
Gratis led astray by bad advisors and
selfish newspaper writers. In concIu-
sion he will tell how sick these DEM
ocrats are aud how ready to kick
themselves for being such fools. So
the farce will end and Sloan will wink
the other eye.

A Case of Mental Alteration.

Leonard Biser, son of Jacob Biser,
residing near GrossnickIe's meeting
house, this county, about IS years of
age, and employed on the farm of AL
vey Shank, near Myersville, wandered
away on Sunday, the 18th inst. He
returned the following Tuesday even
ing to the-home of his father, but was
unable to give any account of where
he had been or what he had been do
ing. Last summer he was attacked
with temporary mental alteration
and left his fathers home for several
days and on his return was unable to
tell where he had been.

Boss PLATT, of New York, is not
yet reconciled to the Mckinley boom,
which seems to speed along indepen-
dent of his opposition. Warner Miller
and the Boss have been indulging in
little complimentary remarks regard
ing the party loyalty of each other.
Miller states he will not be bull-dozed
and intends to organize a formidable
opposition to his former leader. The
New York delegation to the ST. Louis
Convention will not be unit by any
means, although the delegation was
selected with the distinct understand
ing that they were to advocate and Sc
cure if possible the nomination of Gov
ernor Morton. 1t looks like there
would be music in the air among the
New Workers.
