! The Hager-town Mail last week
published an article on the wet and
drv election in Martinsburg which
co,tained about as much misinforma-
tron as could possible have been cram
med INTO that much space. The Mail,
it Will be remembered has been drip
ing wet ard is so today an its COM
ii ents or out town are amusing.
The ASSERT That "the mayer and
council allowed the police 10 stand by
ana let the huukies from Berkeley take
the town and do bat they pleased,
often lying on the pavements when
the people were walking about Sun
day"
This is most absurd. Martlnsburg
has about rs efficient polio, forces as
any town within radius of hundred
mile. as is shown by the fact that they
have made nearly hundred and fifty
arrests since the first of the year. The
town has been about az orderly as any
town that has sixteen saloons in it
many of which are bad dives. The
trouble with out friends of the Mail ia
that they are so wet that they cannot
see the DRINKS OF their own town.
The Mail said of our ne wspapers:
"They assumed the cowardly position
of taking money from both sides and
saying nothing thus disgracing pro-
fesslon that is professedly for tie gud-
ance an information of the people re-
CARELESS of personal advantage"
You are wrong again brother. There
is little old weekly here which pour
ell more than two thousand copies out
once week so full of hot shot that
they fairly set the old town on fire.
The Mail adds: at means a great
deal of added business for Hagerstown
and Williamsport, in trade that we
would rather had staid at home"
Just what is meant by the last para
graph we are in doubt. Certainly the
Mail does not object to legitimate,
strait and honest business and yet she
ought not object to our rummies COM
ing over to buy their poison as 1t has
always shown such fondness for the
gin mills

MEMORIAL,

April 2, Inssad remembrance of my
dear boy, Grant Pitzer, died.nine long
years but not forgotten.
His old mothers love clusters around
his grave, yet her consolation is:
Life's storms will soon be ended,
And the evening bells wilt toll,
Then my heart will know no sorrow,
When the pearly gates unfold.
Why should l not pay obedience to
Gods will,
And in my inmost spirit say,
The Lord is righteous still.
From adverse blast and lowering
storms,
This gentle soul God gave
And with. yon bright angelic forms
Grant lives to die no more.
Tnen / will meet MY dear boy Grant,
Where he 8 been summoned on be-
fore,
We will walk and talk together,
On that bright eternal shore.

Reports from Washington say that
after passing the act putting in force
the reciprocity agreement, the Demo-
Gratis in the house will devote them
selves to the task Of revising the wool
and cotton schedules of the tariff; but
the Older members of the house depre-
cate anything like general revisioo,
or an attempted general revision at the
extra session.
Possibly there will not be sufficient
time fer a general revision, but the
suggestion that the house has not suf-
ficlent data and is not sufficiently in
formed at the present time to go into
general revision, will carry very little
weight with the country. Those men,
bers who are not reasonably Informed
on the subject as general proposition,
and cannot within comparatively
short time, inform themselves of the
necessary details which will enable
them to deal with the subject with
reasonable intelligence, are never like
ly to be informed at eny time.
The labors of the tariff board, as we
have steadfastly insisted al! the time,
VIII be used chiefly to those who de-
sire delays but will be Of little service
to those who think it is time for action,
The country generally and our tpublic
men, presumably, have talked the tar
ifi, thought the teriff, read the tariff,
lived the tariff, suffered the tariff, and
cursed the tariff for some forty years or
more; and if they have not now nod
ding acquaintance with the tariff hich
would suffice to enable them to tone
down the seandulOus schedules of the
Payne-Aldrieh abOmiuation, they
should quit politics and plough pota-
toes-orsdriVe mules. We doubt wheth-
er the tariff board or any other board
could in forty years collect data that
would make any palmer the expedi-
ence or necessity, so far as Justice il
concerned, of reducing the tariff SEIZED.
ule on steel and iron, for example.
Whether it would be wise for the
Democrats TO introduce immediately Z
measure ofgeneral revision, may be +
question ;.but we can see little wisdom
or necessity in limiting their effort,
during the extra session TO the Two
schedules of wool and cotton. Thes,
are important, but others are also i'm
portant. There should be no DELAY in
tue program of tariff revision; and j
it be determined to attack the SEIZED
ules one by one rather than to attack
the entire tariff, let this he done; but
as soon as one Is disposed of, let anolh.
er be.taken up.
Unless the promises of the Demo
cratic party are kept in some sort {,
the hope Of the public, the party viii
find itself at the next election in tn,
position of the Republican party tina
promised revision of The tariff, an,
gave us the. Psyre-Aldrch abomina
ton.

contractors are preparing to begin
actual construction work in the i'm
provement of the sixty roads, the con-
tracts for which were let last week.
Forty-four Of these roads aggregate 1872

the work amounts to S2,064 ,554, being
an average Of about S10,750 per mile.
Sixteen of the roads are state routes
and are located in fourteen counties,
aggregating fifty-elght miles, the state
paying the entire cost, which is $7l2,-
24S. or an average of S12, 1888 per mile.
The total cost of the $50 miles of
county and state contracts awarded
was Sl2, ZIG, 1902, or an average of about

Inc Servant In the House.

In the spring the housemaid's fancy
lightly turns from poland pan
To the greater necromancy
Ola young unmarried man.
Yol can hold her through The winter,
And she'll work around and sing,
But it's just as good as certain
She will marry IN the spring.
There are daughters in the household
Who would welcome Cupid's shaft,
But as sure as he projects it
The fatality is aft.
You can held her through the autumn
When the winds begin to sting,
But it's safe 10 lay wager
She will marry IN the spriag.
There are many gallant fellows,
Running inIand out the front,
And person wouldn't fancy
That the rear was in the hunt.
There are seldom indications
OF a courtship or ring,
But experience will tell
She will marry in the spring.
There is probably an answer
That is not so far to find.
| have often thought upon it
When the servsntlhas resigned.
The household daughters, likely,
Are not good for anything,
But the cook canIcook, and therefore
She will marry in the spring.

mischevous stranger should seek en-

four men guard the outside of the

Eight are in the executive offices.
Fourteen guard the White House
within and without at night. Tie
number of men enumerated does not

guard the person Of the President, and
who sometimes are in service to quad
the members of the Pre-. ident's family.

The White House at the north portico.
In the day time there is a policeman

apartments of the President and his
family on the upper floor. There is
policeman always in the basement the
entrance to which is from the east
wing of the mansion.
At night policeman guards the
basement corridor Of the interior, an
