Having Fun With the R.&L-The Balti.

Having Fun With the B. g. 1.-The Balti
more NeWs of Thursday said: The express
train in from Belair was half an hour late this
morning, owing to peculiar mishap on the
Baltimore and Lehgh Railroad. The train
was on siding waiting for freight train to
go by. The freight had gone out from Balti
more carrying broad-gauge trucks, on which
narrow-gauge cars were to be put up the road
and hauled to Baltimore. When near Glen
Arm some of these trucks rolled off the cars,
struck the rails and began to roll back toward
Baltimore at good rate. The freight backed
up and gave chase.
at was down hill and the trucks were
speedy The trainmen did not dare to make
very fast time with the road in the condition it
was, and the trucks, having no such handicap,
rapidly distanced the freight on their way
back to town. After chase of five miles the
train caught up with the trucks as they were
making an effort to propel themselves over the
opposite hill of the Gunpowder river by means
of gravity The express train followed the
freight back toward Baltimore and when
there was convenient opportunity the freight
was side-tracked and the express came to town.
The race created great excitement on the
train Bets were freely offered that the trucks
would beat the trainro Baltimore. One COM
muter Jumped from the train and had his
trousers nearly torn of in wire fence in his
eagerness to see how far ahead the trucks
were -

Cans, of the Baltimore law firm of Cans e
Hannah, and an independent Democrat, made
an address before the Sound Money League
of Sparrow's Point. on Friday night of last
week. Among other things he said:
II have been an Independent for many
years. am not an office seeker not an office
holder, and / would not have an Office if they
would give it to me. / am going to ask every
one here to cast vote for Mckinley, not be-
cause you may be Republicans but because
you will thus be helping the vital interests of
yourself, your wife and your family. Free
silver is the danger. The Philippines are Z 900
miles away. The trusts, if there are any
in Maryland, can be treated by the Maryland
law. Suppose that you earn SIS week and

pinch" somebody. 1t is said of these fellows
that they take money from both sides and
then vote as they please afterwards. AS an
object lesson it would be good thing If few
of them could be landed in the penitentiary.
Very little money is being put up here
on the result of the Presidential election.
Where odds have been offered they have inva-
riably been on Mckinley, with very few
takers. Betting on elections proves nothing
and it should be avoided. There are still LETT
some of those cheerful idiots who make wheel
barrow, Grape on the arm, and some such
wagers, but even they appear to be fewer than
usual.
- When the cunning season opens in this
county next week people will experience the
same trouble as heretofore with men proving
over their premises with guns in their hands,
shooting at almost everything with feathers
on, often endangering the lives of persons and
animals through their carelessness. Hundreds
of people throughout the county have post
ed' their places and others should do so, as
this plan usually affords some protection.
- Fears are expressed in some quarters
that water famine is imminent in this section
of Maryland. The rain that has fallen this
year is far below the average precipitation, and
| for several months there was drought That
was really distressing. Since then very few
soaking rans-in fact but one or two-have
visited us and should the ground freeze up
| tight before there is much more, the fear OF
the expected famine may not be without foun-
dation. But these things usually regulate
themselves and all may come right in lis own
good time.
With many regrets we this week drop
from the mail lists of THE UNION a name that
! no doubt had been there fifty years-that of
Mr.. Aquia Fowler, who died at his home,
near Parkville, on the 14th of September, IN
the S9th year of his age. The vacancy is filled,
SO far as the subscription goes by the name Of
the son-in-law of the deceased-Mr. VIM. G.
Willinghan. Mr.. Fowler died on the farm
where be spent his long life and it is fact that
he was never fifty miles from home He was
in all respects an exemplary and highly respec-
| ted citizen.
~ Several enthusiastic Towson Bryanites,
who intended to hear him speak on Tuesday
night or bust adopted novel mode to gain

they went to that place at P. NJ. and gained

until three minutes before 6 (at which hour the
building was to be thrown open,) when the
ianitor admitted them to the main auditorium
and they took seats in the front row and held
them down for an hour and a-half before the
! meeting opened.

The Philippines Threaten American
Labor.

Justice B. j. Brewer Of the U. S.
Supreme court says:
Everywhere we hear claim that the
cleaning of streets must be done by hand
labor instead of by machine. More than
one labor body has protested against the
employment of women.
Labor realizes that it has surplus
and is seeking to reduce it. Now, the
great economic problem in this country
is not how can few men make more
money and pile up larger fortunes.
But how can the great body of the
people make u fair and comfortable
livingY The right to work is again and
again insisted upon rs more important
than the right 10 vote
The problem is u serious one. We
have ten million or twelve million of
Mason and Dixon line; and we find the
Governor of a great Northern State
threatening to stand at its borders with
Gatling guns and shoot down those
laborers if they attempt to enter to
compete with his white laborers,
Are we likely to aid in solving this
problem by bringing into our national
life ten million or twelve million Of un'
skilled Malay laborers2
We have shut the doors of the Chinese.
Are they any worse than the Malay
Shall we Introduce in this nation more
cheap lahorY For labor is cheap where
the cost of living is cheap, and the Maley
needs but II little rice within his body
and u little cotton cloth outside, and II
very little rice and very little cloth are
sufficient. do not wonder at the action
Of the Federation Of Labor in protecting
against II new competition of cheap labor
MS we'll as an increase of the army, with
its consequent increase of burden and
taxation on the employed laborer,
Two visions rise before me. One of "a
nation growing in population riches and
strength; reaching out the strong hand
to bring within its dominion weaker aLd
distant races and lands holding them
by force for the rapid wealth they may
bring perhaps the occasional
glory, success and sacrifice OF war II
wondrously luxurious life into which the
fortunate few shall enter; an accumul.
alton of magnificence which for term
shall charm and dazzle, and then the
shadow of the awful question, whether
human nature has changed, and the old
law, that history repeats itself, has lost
its force, whether the ascending splendor
Of imperial power is to be followed by
the descending gloom of luxury, decay
and ruin
The other, Of u nation where the
spirit of the pilgrim and the Huguenot
remains the living and controlling force

Father Of his Country and the Monroe
Doctrine shall never pass into innocuous

does himself, and that when they have
opportunity they join forces with the
Wallis, or Governors, OF provinces for
their suppression. But You can t per-
suade the Turkish government to believe
that. 1t looks upon them with increas-
ing suspicion, and when this miserable
affair blows over and things settle down
to their usual calm, the missionary will
have to pay the penalty of our blnnder
The brunt of the fiascO will fall on him.
He will be accused of stirring up the
trouble, aud he will reap the conse-
quences of his supposed guilt. Every

diplomacy has various methods by whicn
1t can hamper an enterprise, and IT can
find many plausible reasons for doing
so.

aries nothing more. If there is any
good excuse for limiting their influence
it will be made the basis of new and
more severe policy, and the action OF
this government, which has done the
worst possible thing from what was
apparently the best possible motive, will
furnish that excuse,
Russia does not care rap for the
missionaries. She would not lift her
hand If they were in danger of being
wiped out. Germany is busy in dis
placing English influence in Turkey and
has been 50 completely successful that
the Sultan may do what he pleases
without protest. And as to America,
we have foolishly blundered, and made
it evident that while we have rod in
our tongue We have none in our hand.
Our threats, which should never have
been made, evaporate into thin air.
That is the position In which we find
ourselves, and it is by no means an
enviable one. We started the quarrel
with n good deal Of buster, and will be
lucky if we retire without snub.
In answer to the peremptory demand
of Lloyd Griscom, we shall probably be
told that u Turkish Admiral is on his
way to America with Instructions. and
so forth and so forth. 1t will simply
mean that, having issued his trade for
certain concessions, the Sultan considers
the incident closed.
The department went into the matter
on misleading information, given by
persons who ought to have known better,
and there are "odds beyond arithme-
tic that they will come out of it with
the consciousness that they have done
more harm than good to those they
sought to help.
