Let Democrats Reflect.

We call the attention of our readers,
to an article in this weeks issue of the
CITIZEN prepared under the direction
of the Democratic Editorial Committee,
regarding the workings of the Austral-
ian ballot. The Democratic managers
who gave way to the demands of the
so-called independent element of the
party in passing this measure have had
plenty of time to calmly review the
many outrages into which it has fallen.
Those who were familiar with the past
history of the Republican party in
Maryland, did not hesitate to predict
that this act would be the first step
toward RELOCATING the Democratic par
ty from power. There was no valid
reason why we should have changed
our mode of voting; it was giving en-
tire satisfaction in the counties and no
man was subject to the modification,
which under certain circumstances he
must endure in the present system.
But something had to be done to please
the men who had always some griev-
ance against the Democratic party.
Your Independent element has been ca
tered to so continuously, that they have
finally driven the Democratic party
from power Their sham reforms have
amounted to nothing but giving more
power to our enemies. In what way
has the State been benefited, or the
Democratic party been helped, by COM
plying with their constantly increasing
demands. 1t strikes us that those in
terested in the welfare of our party
should awake to the true condition of
affairs in Maryland.

Additional Briefs.

The two-story brick dwelling of SAM
uel Smith, near Myersville, MiddletOwn
Valley, was totally destroyed by fire
this afternoon. The household goods
on the first floor We're saved, but all in
the upper story was destroyed The
loss is about twelve hundred dollars.
A young lad named II. H. Jackson,
son of James Jackson, of Middlepoint,
this county, left his home on an en-
rand of bis fathers few days ago aud
has not been seen since. The parents
suspect foul play. Anyone having
any information of the lads wherea-
bouts would confer favor by inform
ing James Jackson, of Middlepoint.
The ceremonies at the decoration of
the graves of the Confederate soldiers
yesterday, were simple, but exceedingly
affecting. A choir of voices rendered
Rev. Copeland Page, of Adamstown,
delivered an address. Miss OFT read
poem, "The Old Soldier" very prettily,
and the services ended by strewing the
graves with flowers. A large number
of people were present.
Edgar G. Harris, letter carrier OF
Baltimore, committed fiendish crime
Wednesday morning last, by killing
his two youngest children and wound
ing perhaps fatally his other two. Al
ter this he emptied the contents of his
revolver into his own head. Two OF
his children are dead, one dying and
the other may recover. Distraction
caused by the death of his wife is said
TO have prompted the deed.

Two Memorial Days.

General Memorial and Decoration
Day was observed last Monday all
over the United States. Choice and
fragrant flowers were strewn on the
graves of the gallant dead of the I'm
ion cause and the services were in
keeping with the solemn and patriotic
nature of. the event. Here in Fred
erick the members of the Grand Army
turned out to do honor to the memory
of their old comrades-in-arms and
marched in procession to Mt Olivet
Cemetery, where in the silent cham
bers of death repose what remains of
those who fell in the great civil strife
which produced such untold misery
and sufferings to thousands. The mar
row line of graves marked with sim
pie headstone and the stars and stripes
were soon one continuous mass of
floral decorations. Short services We're
held at the graves. In that same plot
of ground sacred to the memory of the
soldier dead were other graves not
marked with the nations flag and
adorned with the green sod of mother
earth and few sprigs of wild flowers
here and there waited by the spring
breezes and nurtured by the sacred
soil that covers a warriors breast.
Here lie the unforgotten remains of
those who fought in the ranks of the
South, who wore the gray and whose
courage and chivalry was unmatched
in the history of the world. Theirs
was lost cause and as the years roll
by the sharp pangs of memory become
softened with the thought of what
might have been and what really is,
and kindlier feeling exists between the
once opposing factions and their de-
scendants. This is as it should be, and
yesterday loving hands forgot not the
lowly mounds of green in Mt. Olivet,
but took garlands of flowers aud
placed them there, not sighting the
most lowly "or unknown" Some
day this country will blot out the un-
happy past by uniting together on
Memorial Day and decorate not only
the graves of those who wore the blue,
but also in the spirit of peace those
who donned the gray and were their
gallant enemies nearly half a century
ago. Then, and not till then, will the
celebration Of the day will be in accord
with the spirit of our institutions and
the glorious record of peace and unity
that marks the course of our glorious
country.

Welcome to the Conference.

Frederick extends the cordial hand
of welcome to the strangers who are
and will be in our midst during the
great Baptist Conference, this and the
coming week. We hope they will be
satisfied with the choice of the COM
mittee in selecting Frederick as the
place for the meeting and enjoy the
rich and rare treats offered by our
beautiful city and its environments to
sightseers. Our people will greet them
with genuine Southern hospitality, and
they will be difficult, indeed, to please
if they are not at once at home and
gratified with their reception. Every
one who has ever visited Frederick has
taken away most pleasant memories OF
their stay, and we feel sure that such
will be the case in this instance.

Whitewashlng Still Going On.

Our mention of the great improve
ment to country homes by little
whitewash is having, we are glad to
say, good effect upon those who APP
preciate good word from the passers-
by. What is more attractive to the
eye than a neat and well-kept home?
What more cheering than whitewash-
ed fences? If our brother editors in
the country will take this matter up
and urge all who live along the public
roads to whitewash their ontbuildings
and fences they will be doing some
thing which will rebound to the credit
of the people of the county. Let the
little homes not be neglected. Let us
merit the reputation of having the
neatest looking homes of any section
the Union.

The Emmitsburg and Gettysburg
Road-No Excuse For its
Bad Condition.

Those who have recently travelled
the Emmitsburg and Gettysburg
road have wondered why such a
road should be tolerated by those who
are compelled to use it every day
The Gettysburg people contend, that
the road has been much cut up during
the past winter by the hauling of lum-
Der to Gettysburg, and that the town
ship commissioners are unable to do
anything until the traffic is ended.
The Emmitsburg side of the case is,
that the commissioners intend to have
stone crushed for the road at an early
day and that great improvement
will be made on the Maryland end of
the road. Here is a road leading into
the very heart of the city along
which an important line of battle was
formed during the great contest fought
at this point Naturally we would
suppose that this road would be kept
in fine condition, thus enabling wheel
men and conveyances Of all kinds to
have a fine roadway into the town of
Gettysburg The road is by no means
a credit to the township commissioners
and their attention should be called to
its present condition. The Emmits.
burg end, we understand, will be i'm
proved at an early day. As one of the
County Commissioners lives in the
northern end of the county, the suppo-
sition is that the road will receive his
early attention. The diminishing
Pike from that town to Frederick was
never in better condition and the SUI
perintendent deserves much credit for
the attention. There are few drives
in this State or in any other State that
can surpass in beauty of scenery a
trip over the well-kept pike from En-
mitsburg to Frederick. The continual
ton Of the road to Gettysburg should
be repaired at the earliest possible date,
as visitors, would gladly drive to Get
tysburg, if the road was properly re-
paired.

The State Central Committee and
Its Difficult Task.

The Democratic and Republican
State Central Committees met in Bal
timore on Wednesday last for the pur-
pose of fixing up details and matters
pertaining to the fall campaigns. Both
had headquarters at the Carrolton Ho-
tel and swarms of politicians gathered
in conference to decide on the best
plan of work. The Democrats were in
force and enthusiastic of success. Many
ideas were expressed as to the advisa-
bility of making concessions to the in
dependent element in order to make
peace and unite the party, some
were conservative and Others lib
eral and advanced. The record
of this class has been such in
the past that it would take a wiser
man than Solomon to propose way
TO get them together. They are like
the Irishman's flea, when you 90 to
put your hand on them, they are not
there. They make professions, but do
not carry them out, and for the vast
majority to become subservient to the
minority, except in proportion to their
strength, seems to be the heighth of
foolishness. They never have been salts
fled and never will, unless they can
rule or ruin, as best suits them. Over
lures of all kinds have been made to
them in the past and they have relig-
iously opposed the party organization
from selfish and personal reeaons. We
do not believe in setting up wall
around the party and refuse recognition
to those who may have strayed away
from the fold for reasons they consid-
cred pre-eminent to that of party ties,
and who have always been identified
with the party in its councils and pro-
ceedings, but how can one put implicit
faith in those who say one thing and
do another, because this or that man
was nominated; this or that one did
not get this or that Office, or that they
do not like party leader because he
does not see fit to honor them with his
confidence or good graces. The organ
ization has difficult work on hand to
conciliate the factions and we hope that
they can do it without sacrificing one
iota of their right or honor. The fight
this fall promises to be hard one from
start to finish and only the best candi-
dates representing the best principles
can win. The people are already tired
of Republican misrepresentation and if
given good and substantial candidates
to support, there is no reason why we
should not lay the foundation for the
reclamation of old Maryland from the
hands Of the invaders.
