The completion of the official canvass
of the vote of Maryland has resulted in
an announcement that the electoral
vote of that state will be divided, one
elector being given to Roosevelt and
seven to Parker, this changing the total
result to 1886 for Roosevelt and 140 for
Parker and making RoOsevelt's major
fly 1876. This may be regarded as final,
all the votes having been counted and
declared and there being no close or

CHANGE swerpeth over all" says
the poet; yet how apt we are to forget
the truth aud think that tomorrow
shall be as to-day" 1t is not thought
to make one morbid; the rather should
it cause the earnest man to hold up
his head for jnv, since he knows that
the change that shall have taken place
when the morrow shall have come may
be one to give him cause for self-gra-
tulatiOn, since it marks an onward
step. Forward or backward, such is
the nature of he change that sweeps
over us all, restlessly, increasingly,
day in and day out, from the first
moments to the last OF our existence.
And with us who are workers rests
the burden; nav, not the burden, but
the happiness Of making each day
count for advance. As the minutes
make up the hours, so does each sep
arate task added to all the others of
the day make up the record of the
day, which can never be altered in af-
ter years Then how great the obi
CATION to use our best thought, our
fullest powers, in each separate duty!
How great the responsibility to use
each opportunity as it passes before
US
We must grasp and use When
your days work is done you are diff
erent entity, a different | from what
you were when you started your work
that day. What you have done has
become a part of your record; what
you have gained he's become part of
your new self; what you have lost has
left you so much the poorer for vast
ed opportunity. The application of
this little preachment is to make your
work count in yourself, by putting
your best in it."

A BEAUTIFUL object lesson in the
tariff for the American people is in
the contract of a steel mill in the I'm
tied States to deliver at Montreal 49,
900 tons of rails for the Canadian
Pacific Railway at s2l 25 a ton. This,
allowing for cost of delivery, is $1S a
ton at the mills, or SO a ton less than
the cost to American purchasers OF
steel rails at the mill. The contract
price to the Canadian Pacific Railway
left margin of fair profit for the
manufacturers, and all that is above
this price is an Ubiquitous extortion
upon American consumers which can
be practiced only under cover of a
shamefully exorbitant tariff. How
long will the colossal iniquity be en-
dured by the American people?-

A Law Which If Passed Would have Btne-
fitted Richmond Greatly.

Just now when the City Council is
busying itself in the introduction of a
business-like system of municipal &C
counting. it may be interesting to read
the correspondence that ensued be-
tween Governor Beckham and Mr.
Clarence E. Woods. of this city, on the
subject of law which MIR. Woods en-
treated the Governor to recommend in
his message to the late Legislature, by
which not only Richmond. but every
municipality in Kentucky would have
been able to save thousands OF dollars.
Simply through adopting a universal
aud standard method of sppOrtiOning,
expanding and accounting public funds
collected by taxation, cities may reg
ulate their financial affairs as banks do.
But where no two cities in State have
the same system of accounting there is
no comprehensive method Of keeping
records, as each city is a law to itself
and all is chaos when il comes to max
ing out a statement. 1t is not the fault
of the clerks but of the system, or
rather lack of system. that has been al
lowed to grow up.
But this is the way Mr.. Woods rec

"When public men take the position
that good measure for the general
welfare. morally and economically
sound, is a good measure to be placed

from which it emanates. good measures
will more frequently be enacted into

the requirements of intelligent honesty
and of justice to the people represented.
"In the correspondence following
there is gratifying evidence of the
growth Of healthy public sentiment
in this regard. Mr.. Woods. in address
