Freight traffic on the Baltimore and
Ohio which for some time has been
rather dull, has picked up to such a
degree that all motive power is being
brought to requisition. The princi-
pal demand is for empty cars in the
west and the company is pushing all
emptles westbound as fast as possible.
So great is the demand for motive
power that the coal test of tive

1890 from Cumberland to Brunswick

the present and the engines used for
general freight purposes. 1t is said
SO ilr a. the test has gone, three

THE RIOTS IN SPAIN.

There seems 10 be trouble ahead for
Spain. The queen regent, who Is very
unpopular with the masses, has not
strengthened her position by the union
in wedlock OF her eldest daughter,
Princess Marie Of Asturlas,. 10 the
Count og Caserta, Don Carlos de Bour-
bon The reason for this is, that
Princess Marie, in case of the early de-
mise OF the boy king, would become the
sovereign Of Spain, and the people fear
that the consort, Prince Carlos, who Is a
Carlist, would in that event, influence
the government in favor Of the pretend
err. Hence the riots that occurred at
the time OF the wedding, and the plac
Ing Of Madrid under martial law under
the command of Weyler.
1t is believed this arch-plotter Ii
scheming for personal advantage, and
that, perhaps, the finale to the turbu-
lence will be that he proclaims himself
dictator, after the pattern Of Napoleon.
There is widespread sentiment In
Spain, in favor of some change of gov
eminent, and II the famous butcher Of
Cuba has the ambition ascribed to him,
the time may be opportune for a coup
d'etat. AT all events, 1t is strange that
the Spanish queen, instead Of establish
ing herself in the affections Of the peo-
pie, by listening to their reasonable de-
mands, confides in one, whom the whole
world has pronounced unfit for posi-
lions of trust and honor, Weyler's po-
Icy cost the queen the jewel Of the An
TILES It may yet cost her house the
Spanish crown.

A RAID IN CHINA.

that Won Waldersee contemplates an

the present capital OF the Chinese en-
pire, and that the foreign powers repre-

previous rumor OF a declaration OF war

The object Of this expedition is said
to be TO compel China TO accept the
terms OF negotiations. But this sounds
strange in view OF the fact that only
few days ago. King Edward in opening
the British parliament declared that
China had accepted the demands OF the
powers, and that they were now only
talking about the manner in which they
were 20 be complied with. He said
"The capture Of Pekin by the allied
forces and the happy release OF those
who were besieged IN the legations, re-
suits to which my Indian troops and
my naval forces largely contributed.
have been followed by the submission
OF the Chinese governments 10 the de-
mands insisted on by the powers Ne
gotiations are proceeding regarding the
manner in which compliance with these
demands Is to be effected"
II an agreement has been effected
as to the conditions on which China can
have peace.a military expedition TO the
interior cannot be needed. The United
states did not have to invade Spain
during the Paris negotiations for peace.

URGING TEMPERANCE.

Ladies' of the local society Of the w.

anniversary OF the death OF Miss
Frances Willard, strongly denounced
the habit Of serving punch and other
ntoxicants at social functions: also the
keeping open of saloons on Sundays, In

city and In many other places, where
the law Is openly dehed In this matter.
It is hardly possible to emphasize too
strongly the evil consequences Of the

ferred to. II takes earnest and ntelll-
gent work 10 overcome such evils

sidered, II might appear as Of but lit
tie effect. But this would be hasty
conclusion, II is true enough II has not
az yet closed every place where lntoxl-
cants are sold; nor has 1t oleansed every

pes the drunkard to hide himself from
public gaze, TO some extent, just as the
slaves Of other vices do. That this Ia
a great victory for temperance. who
can deny? And this has been accom-
pished by means Of persuasion. by the
moral forces placed at the service Of
intelligent beings.
We hope the good work will go on,

that the law Is not broken. They can
do so, IL they viii Just now a mania
has broken out In Kansas, by which It
Is proposed TO correct breaking by
more law-breaking. This Is bad, but
the responsibility for that must be

that the laws enacted In accordance

A TEXAS MEASURE,

A bin said to be introduced In the
house OF representatives, of,Texas, pro-
viding that man shall be justified In
killing anyone who ISLANDERS" his wife
or any female relative, deserves atten-
ton as indicating the trend Of senu-
ment at the present time. Should such
a measure become law. there would be
but little possibility OF conyictlng any
man Of murder, for II would always be
possible to prove, that the special PROF.
ocatlon had existed even II records had
to be searched for female relatives
no matter how remote, That law, by
making one man both Judge, jury and
executloner, would make murderers
more plentiful than duollsts during the
past age of so-called chlvalry.
Then, how long would this business OF
avenging angel be confined 10 one sex?
with the clamor for equal rights, wo-
men would in time demand a law giving
the legal justification for assassin
ating anyone guilty Of slanderlng their
husbands or male relatives. or offspring.
And why not? The privilege" Of kill
Ing should not be confined to one half
Of the human family. Nature itself
does not restrict the instinct for blood
TO one sex Of wolves or tigers. And IL
laws are TO be framed for the protection
Of the wild instincts some people have
In common with the brute creation,
there is no consistency in drawing lines
contrary TO those Of lmrestralned saw
agery.
In the Mosaic dispensation the aveng-
or might Stay murderer, provided the
latter did not enter the city OF refuge,
or the sacred precincts, in which case he
was entitled to a fair hearing as TO
whether the killing was accidental or
not But the proposed Texas measure
has no place OF refuge, no chance of an
impartial investigation, II simply
makes Islander" capital offense. and
iNHfNN bht iuspulN w JuuHt hbOul what

TO kill the slanderer at his first oppor-
tunlty.
That such proposition can be made
In the halls Of a Legislature, is certainly
significant OF the age In which we
live. Private vengeance, in the form
Of lynchlngs and the destruction OF
property, has already taken the place
Of lawful proceedings In many cases.
And the authorities seem TO be in
different or powerless, Is this because
the people have lost confidence In the
officers, or in the laws? Can II be that
there is decreasing faith In the sys-
tenn by which lawmakers and execu-
tors of laws are appointed? II so, the
crying need Of this country is reform
on the basis Of the Constitution, and a
return to those moral principles, the
observance OF which alone can make
government by the people benehcient,
1t Is not necessary to take an alarmlst
view Of the situation. and yet II is
evident that many symptoms indicated

JOBS FOR DOCTORS.

Under this caption the San Francisco
Chronicle has the following paragraph
which may be worth readings
"The batch Of so-called health bills
now before the legislature might better
be called bills for providing fat Jobs
for political doctors whom nobody else
will hire. The one thing of Importance,
and probably the only thing which will
be found law after the courts get
through with the bills, should they
pass, Is the one appropriating 100000
for the State board of health 10 expend
In Investigations The legislature can
fool away the States money. There Is
no doubt OF the constitutionality OF
that. 1t can also vote money TO state
boards and commissions for the same
purpose. and II Is safe to say that the
bill making the big appropriation Is the
only one of the three that the political
doctors care for. With that amount
to spend a whole lot OF medical hang
rs-on can be admitted 10 the public
crib. and It Is those who hope to be APP
pointed or TO control appointments who
are pushing the measures. OF the two
companion bills one empowers the state
board OF health to usurp duties proper
ly belonging to local boards, which is
utterly wrong in principle. The fact
that san Francisco just now has a dis
credited board Of health which has
proved itself incompetent and revenge
fu is no reason why the principle of
local self government should be sur
rendered. We are not likely to get an
other such mayor. and consequently
another such board OF health We have
