tonishing. There Is not section of the globe which is not full of English clubs. There Is actually an English club in the Philippines, while British Malaysia has sixteen or seventeen. Even the West Coast of Afica swarms with clubs, and we notice with satis- faction that Benin has a golf club.

 fact well known to all who have studied American social institutions comes out very clearly in the perusal of the list-the very exclusive and aris- tocratic character of certain of the smartest American clubs, institutions which approach more nearly to the mo- bles clubs in a continental provincial captain than to anything which Is to be found here. There are clubs in America where, practically, admission cannot be gained unless the would-be member belongs to or is connected with the local group of first families. These smart clubs have very small
 membership. and therefore very large subscription For example, we
 note that one American club included in the list before us has an entrance fee of fb900. Possibly there are special
 reasons for this-the club is one for shooting and fishing-but take 1t as a whole, the best clubs in the United States no doubt tend to be more exclu | sive than our own.

ENGLISH AND AMERICAN CLUBS

ENGLISH AND AMERICAN CLUBS.
 The change in the significance of the word "club" affords curious commen- tary on the social evolution of the English race. A club used to mean ex- clusively a meeting of twenty or thirty more or less intimate friends at tav- ern, who, after good dinner, discussed the affairs of the state, or of the re-. publics of letters of arts. Now club, for the general public, means q res taurant housed in a palace, with a number of smoking and reading and writing-rooms attached-a place in which a limited number of persons may feed and rest the body and the mind, may get good dinner, and may see all the newspapers without buying them. Hence belonging to club means for the ordinary man something very different from what it used to mean. Instead of signifying form of social intercourse, it means a very eff fective organization for supplying the comforts of life away from mans own home and possessions.
 No doubt man may make Of his club social centre, may, as it were, form little club within his club by ar ranging to lunch and dine constantly with the same set of people; but this is in no sense sine qua non of club life. To the majority of men the club is merely commodious eating-house or reading-room, to which only a limited number of persons have the right of entry. Occasionally the members are supposed to have common object, or common calling, as in the naval and
 military clubs; but in practice this tie
 is very loose one, and does not really make club sociable. But though
 clubs are thus only hotels reserved for the use of persons who pay an unnual subscription, and whose membership has not been objected to by those who are already members, it cannot be
 denied that the institution is one
 which has taken very firm grip upon the Anglo-Saxon peoples.
 Wherever the English race goes it
 sets up clubs in the modern sense of the word. It is not too much to say that there is no community abroad which boasts one hundred English speaking men belonging to the club
 classes which has not got it's club As
 an interesting proof, or rather record, of this fact is to be found in the List of English Clubs in all Parts of the
 World, for 1SsS," just issued by Messrs. | Spottiswoode & Co., The list embraces
 not only all clubs in London, the Uni | ted Kingdom, and the colonies and | abroad generally, but also all clubs in the United States. In a word, the | list recognizes for club purposes the | federation of the Anglo-Saxon race
 The ubiquity of the club, and so of the | club ideal of existence, is perfectly ass

FOR CONGRESS
THOS. A.POFFENBERGER,

Election-Tuesday, November 8, 1898.
DIR NOMINEE.

The nomination of Mr.. Thomas A. Poff-
enberger, Of Washington county, as the
Democratic candidate for Congress, meets
with the cordial support Of the Democratic
press of the Sixth district.
The Frederick Citizen, speaking Of the
work of the nominating convention and the
character Of the nominee, says;
at is with great pleasure that we place
at the head Of the Citizen the name of Mr..
Thomas A. Poffenberger, Of Washington
county, as our candidate for Congress in
this, the Sixth Congressional district. The
nomination was unanimous, as the delegates
from each of the five counties Of the dis
trict, after thoroughly considering of the
merits of other prominent names, enthusi
astically agreed upon the name Of Mr.. Poff
enberger, as being in special manner fitted
for the honor that they so gladly conferred
upon him. He was in no sense a candidate,
and, in fact, declined at first TO allow his
name to be used, stating that it was so On
expected and that he had not had the time
to consider. At the solicitation of a mum
Der of his friends, he finally consented, and
his nomination was made amidst the great
est enthusiasm. Our candidate is young
lawyer ofability, and enjoys the respect and
confidence of the people Of his native coun-
ty, who hold him In high esteem, and have
nothing but words Of praise to shower upon
him. He Is acceptable to both factions o:
the party in Washington county, and it was
predicted that he would not only carry the
solid Democratic vote, but would draw
largely from the Republican ranks"
The Hagerstowu Mai says: Democrats
are satisfied and pleased with the nomina-
ton of Mr. Poffenberger.
He is stalwart and active young man
gifted with intelligence and eloquence, and
with clear and reasonable mind. He comes
from solid stock, sprung right from our farm
ing community, man Of the people, and
ready. able and willing to raise the banner
of the plain people against the aggression of
plutocracy and monopoly, represented by
the boss named and boss dominated Pearre.
Mr.. Pofenberger was named by no boss
and owes no allegiance to Ring. He is
free, independent aud untrammeed and
comes before the people asking their fran
chises with fair and manly candor, and
old Washington will respond nobly, with
the other counties not far behind.
All our people, all those especially who
have been repudiating boss rule for so many
years in both great parties, should unite on
him and extend TO him their cordial support
Oakland Democrat says: ave place at the
head Of our sdolnh columns this week the
name OF Mr. Thor % A. Poffenberger as the
candidate q the Democratic party In this
the Sixth Gong lasaional District Of Mary
land
ave havo not space this week to discuss
the character and record Of our gifted young
nominee further than to state that he is
rising young lawyer Of the Washington
county bar, brilliant and able, and entirely
worthy of Democratic support as well as
that of all Republicans who have the inter-
ests of the people rather than of party at
heart"
