Drift From the Flood.

One Of the young ladies imprisoned
on Island Park, opposite Harpers Fer
ry, by the washing away Of two spans
Of the bridge, was a daughter of a
track walker on the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad. When asked if he
felt alarmed for the safety of his
daughter, he replied: Not in the
least. She, as well as the others,
should have had more sense than to
put themselves in such danger"
A carload of hogs was drowned dur
ing the high water last week at Sir
Johns Run. The trainmen made an
effort to run through about three feet
Of water, but the fire under the engine
was put out and the train was brought
to standstill. In the meantime the
water rose beyond the grating of the
cattle car, drowning large number
of hogs that were unable to escape.
On Thursday on the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad 2,541 cars that had
been bloodhound were moved over the
tracks between Cumberland and
Brunswick.

THE OLD PRESIDENT AND THE NEW

Today President Grover Cleveland
leaves the White House. 1t is with a
pang of regret that we see him leave
it unregretted by his party. In our
opinion no man has ever occupied the
executive chair who was more infexi-
bic in his determination to do what he
believed was best for his country, OF
who felt less and cared less for the OBJ
legations he owed to the party that
placed him there.
When he was first elected the Dem
ocratic party had for years been on
the defensive and had no definite poll
cy. He made policy when he sent
his famous tariff message to Congress,
and though many of his party differed
with him, they Loyalty followed his
leadership and supported him. The
party was true to him under severe
trial, his civil-service ideas being no.
tably hard to accept by the Democrats,
who knew it simply meant the reten-
ton of Republicans in Office
The party followed him from 1888
to 1896, but in 1896 he refused to
follow the party, and the breach that
had been widening became gulf that
will never be closed, and Mr.. Cleye-
land will never again be supported by
the national Democracy.
Although he was poor party lead
err, Mr. Cleveland has been in the
main good President. If he had
not been Indifferent to advice, and re-
gardless of the opinions Of others, he
would have been a better one. He
unnecessarily antagonized many Of the
big men in his own party, and so pre-
vented the carrying out of beneficial
measures that could have been en-
forced. He has never been guilty OF
partisanship in public measures, and
that must also rebound to his credit.
II was not fair, however, to allow
partisan Republicans to remain in Of
fee, when at the same time he has had
no scruples the past year in removing
from office fee silver Democrats who
had the courage of their convictions.
We believe he leaves the White
House with his own self-respect. We
hope that in his new home in Prince
ton he may lead a happy and a useful
ife, and that be may never again both
er the Democracy.
William Mckinley, the new Presi-
dent, goes INTO power with the full con-
fdence of his party, and we are sure
that the people of the whole country,
regardless of politics, wish him we'll
He is an honest man, and good one,
thoroughly believing in the policies he
espouses. He is eminently patriotic,
and we believe he will use all his abil-
tiles for the welfare of his country.
We hope his highest aspirations in this
respect may be fully realized.

Electric Bitters.

Electric Bitters is a medicine suited
for any season, but perhaps more gen.
orally needed when the languid, ex-
hausted feeling prevails, when the
liver is torpid and sluggish and the
need of tonic and Alternative is felt.
A prompt use of this medicine has
often averted long and perhaps fatal
bilious fevers. No medicine will act
more surely in counteracting and free
ing the system from the malarial poi
son. Headache, Indigestion, Consti-
patton, Dizziness yield to Electric
Bitters. SOC. and $l.OO per bottle at

For more than hundred years the
Shakers have been studying the remedial
properties of plants, They have made
many discoveries, but their greatest
achievement was made last year. 1t is
a cordial that contains already digested
food andis digesterof food. It's effec-
tive in removing distress after eating,
and creates an appetite for more food so
that eating becomes a pleasure. Pale,
thin people become plump and healthy
under its use. 1t arrests the wasting of
consumption.
There never has been such step for
ward in the cure of Indigestion as this
Shaker Cordial. Your druggist will be
glad to give you q little book descriptive
of the product.
Give the babies laxol, which is Castor
Oil made as palatable as honey.

THE country is to be congratulated
that this Congress has adjourned with
out embroiling our government in
war with Spain over Cuba, and Presi-
dent Cleveland and the retiring ad-
ministration are entitled to great credit
for the level-headed and resolute man
ner in which the jingoes have been
bahled. The truth is, our government
has not now, and never has had, any
occasion whatever TO interfere between
the Cuban insurrectionists and Spain.
1t is nonsense to talk Of recognizing
the Cuban government, which has no
existence. The insurgents have been
fighting for two years now, without
having succeeded in establishing per-
manent headquarters, even not one
important or decisive battle has been
fought; they can only maintain sort
of guerrilla warfare, and manage to
keep their heads upon their shoulders
by their facility for hiding in the
swamps and hills. The sensational
New York newspapers have made the
most extravagant statements about the
treatment of American citizens and
the insulting Of defenceless women,
but these statements are not support
ed by the facts.
Julio Sanguilly, an alleged Ameri-
can citizen about whom Senators raved
and whose case was spread before the
people with CORY details, was in prison
in Havana, and there were frantic de-
mands for his release. The President
was urged to send warships to rescue
this citizen of the United States in dur
ance vile. If the hot-heads had been
listened to the war would now be on.
In the course Of diplomatic events,
however, Spain has courteously par
doned Sanguilly at the polite request
of our government and he has been re-
leased and is now in this country. He
himself says he was well treated in
prison and had no cause of complaint,
1t is further developed that there is
some doubt of his being a citizen Of the
United States. He claims to have
been naturalized here some twenty
years ago, but the legality of the pro-
cess is questioned. As his name indi-
Gates, he is a foreigner, and it has been
eighteen years since he even visited
this country, The absurdity of rails
ing rumpus over him is apparent to
any one. Consul-General Lee says that
he himself has had no discourtesy from
the Spanish, and that our flag has been
respected.
Taken from beginning to end, the
only American citizens who have
gotten into trouble in Spain are ad-
venturers who have only themselves to
blame.
Personally, our sympathies are with
the Cubans, and We hope to see them
win. But the United States has no ex-
cuse yet to take any part in the war
between Spain and Cuba.

In memory of Mrs. Margaret j. Belt
who died February ,, 1897:
One precious to our hearts has gone,
The voice we loved is still,
The place made vacant in our home,
Can lever more he filled.
Our Father in His wisdom called
The boon His love had given,
And though on earth the body lies,
The soul is safe In Heaven.
Oh! Mother, thy gentle voice is hushed,
Thy warm, true heart Is still,
And on thy pale aud peaceful face
Is resting deaths cold chill.
Thy hands are clasped upon thy breast,
We have kissed thy marble brow,
And in our aching hearts we know
We have no mother now.
We miss thee from our home, mother,
We miss thee from thy place;
A shadow DER our life is cast,
We miss the sunshine OF thy face.
We miss thy kind d willing hand,
Thy fond and earnest care;
Our home is dark without thee,
We miss thee everywhere.
Farewell, mother. farewell, mother,
Peaceful be thy silent rest,
Slumber sweetly, God knows best
When to call thee home TO rest.
Farewell. mother, farewell, mother,
We must say our last farewell,
TIL we meet beyond the river,
Happy there with thee TO dwell.
