Hon. p. Wat Hardin continues
to go about from town to town,
wherever he can get any kind Of q
a hearing, in order to brand Capt.
Stone and Senator Goebel as
against free silver. Mr.. Hardin
should for one moment stop and
look upon himself. This we know:
Capt. Stone in 1896 was free
silver Democrat. He was offered
for temporary chairman of the
State Democratic Convention in
1896 as a silver Democrat, and
went down in defeat for that prin-
ciple. Democrats will remember
this incident, which goes to prove
Mr.. Stones loyalty to Democracy.
They will also remember that the
platform Of that convention was
what is denominated in this day as
gold standard; and they will fur
ther remember that Mr., Hardin
accepted the Democratic nomina-
ton for Governor on that gold
platform. "He stood on it with
both feet" that is what he said.
Was Hardin a silver man then?
Did he not, by virtue of that &C
ceptance, forfeit whatever of free
silver sentiment he had eyer held?
Did he not convey to the world,
by his acceptance, that he was
henceforth goldbug7 Mr.. Har-
din, you are goldbug; you are a
free silver Democrat, and indica-
tons are you are monopolist for
a purpose, Anything, Lord, to
become Governor of Kentucky.
You fooled the Democracy once;
you cannot do it now.

We can't help being uneasy
when it is said smallpox is in the
neighborhood, but what we want
to say to our readers is this; We
have not single case in Mt. Ster-
ling; it is seven and a half miles
away, and we are just as secure
from the contagion as if it were in
Louisville, in Cincinnati or Lex
ington. We know there are cases
in these places any time during
the year, but whenever business or
pleasure calls we never think Of
any Of the many contagious dis
eases, but 60 right along as if
there was not a case in a hundred
miles. Our Board of Health has
the power and will appoint only
vigilant guards and careful nurses,
so that our people can be easy in
the actual knowledge that those in
charge will properly and safely
protect them from any spread of
the disease. Again, if at any time
the disease should become alarm
ing, or even have the appearance
Of getting beyond the management
Of those in control, we would be
first to give the alarm signal. At
present there is no cause for un-
easiness, even in the immediate
neighborhood where it is, and we
suppose there will not be.

If the editor would fall in and
be in sympathy with every foolish
whim of his associates, he would
be a mighty popular fellow Tin
your mind; but let him dare to
cross the thoughts of another and
he is no good. He is a friend to
others than his friends. We are
not built to fall in love with any
man or sentiment at pleasure. II
men would be with US, they must
be on our side, ejecting egotism,
we would say we are not follow

strictly our own on all subjects.

U. S. CRUISER CHARLESTON.

MANILA, April 6.-l0.45 4. NJ.
The United States cruiser
Charleston has bombarded
Dagupan. the northern termi-
nus of the Manila q Dagupan
Railroad. The bombardment
took place on Saturday, but
owing To the rebels having cut
off all overland communication
between Dagupan and Malolos,
news Of the engagement has
only just arrived by boat.
The Charleston, which had
been cruising along the west
coast of Luzon, to the north,
sent a boat in shore near Dagu-
pan on Saturday to make
soundings.
The rebels opened fire, wound
ing a United States officer.
The cruiser thereupon bonn
barded the town, the insurgents
evacuating it.
Dagupan is on the Gulf of
Lingayen. 245 miles north of
Manila. 1t was there that
Aguinaldo obtained all of his
supplies after he had been
driven from the vicinity of
Manila to Malolos.
Sensational rumors have
gained a wide circulation to-day
to the effect that General
Antonio Luna, the most rabid
and belligerent of the Filipino
commanders, has succeeded
Aguinaldo in control of the
entire insurgent forces.
Luna, who is credited with
having forced Aguinaldo to the
most extreme steps taken by
the rebel chief, is violently
opposed to any surrender. On
the contrary, he aims to rally
all the insurgents, to prolong
the war and make it as annoy
ing as barbarous guerrilla tao
tics will permit.

WE see a great deal i'm the
Baltimore papers about why
Eastern Shoremen continue to
go to Philadelphia to do their
shopping instead of Baltimore.
The reason is very plain to us.
Why does every Eastern Shore
man know the houses of John
Wanamaker and Strawbridge
4 Clothier. 1t is because these
live merchants of PHILADELPHIA
not only use the city papers
freely but they also advertise
in the leading country papers.
Their announcements attract
people to Philadelphia, while
the leading dry goods houses of
Baltimore are hardly known to
the people of the Eastern Shore.
OF course there are a few in
every town that have heard of
HutZler and Posncr. but the
masses don't know anything
about either. The way for
Baltimore merchants to get the
Eastern Shore trade is to adver-
tise in the country papers.

MAYOR CARTER HARRISON of
Chicago has just been reelected
by a plurality of 10000 He
was a very much abused candi-
date; especially was this course
pursued by the Chicago Inter Ocean
and the New York Sun. Any
one reading either paper could
readily see that they were
printing malicious lies about
the Mayor. He is no Saint, but
these papers abused him so
numerically as to cause a re-
action to set in favoring him /;

part of voters soon found that
the coon in the woodpile was
that the Associated press papers
favored Carter Harrison's cleo
