It is more Ilian likely that the Repub

Daniel H. Craig, the originator of
tiie great news gathering concern,
known as the Associated Press, died at
Asbury Park, recently. He begau his
operations with the aid of carrier pig
eons, and co-operated with Mr. A. S.
Abel, of the Raltimore Sun. When the
telegraph came into use, that potent
agency was utilized, until at preseut
the doings of tlie whole world are con
verged into tiie space of a newspaper
by its aid. He was in his 80th year.

The examination of tiie Monroe doc

The Democrats of Washington Coun
ty are "gelling together," as one politi
cian puts it, and will be ready for the
coming battle of the ballots. It is said
that tiie nomination for the State
Senate lies between Messrs. Edward W.
Mealy and Robert Bridges, the former
trom Hagerstown, the latter a resident
of Hancock. Both gentlemen are well
known Democrats and their supporters
are doing (all iu their power for
their candidates’ interests. Senator
David Seibert is also iu the field and
will make a strong pull. The Re
publicans are said to favor Mr. Nor
man B. Scott as their candidate.
There is something radically wrong
when tlierei is destitution right in the
midst of plenty, as is tlie case in west
ern Nebraska. In that immediate vi
cinity the crops of last year were utter
failures.. Every where else in tbeState
they were abundant ami have been
seeking a market. The situation up.
peals strongly to charitable hearts and
generous hands all over the country
and the response should be a liberal
giving of food, fuel and clothing. That
such suffering should exist when
the means of relief are abundant
on every hand, is a crying shame to
Christian charity. Maryland has been
more than fortunate in this respect.
True we hear talk of “hard times,” hut
save iu Isolated cases, generally iu tiie
larger towns and cities, there is no <
famine. We who live in this fortunate
State, hardly have enough experience i
witli the situation to understand all its i
horrors. We cannot understand why i
people should starve when the mar- i
kets are almost clogged with bread
stuffs. As before averred, there is some
thing very much amiss iu Nebraska.
The question of Bond Issue seems to ]
be tiie stumbling block in Congress.
Baltimore shall uo longer remain
without precautions against the
slaughter of tiie innocent, by the cruel,
fenderless street trolley and cable cars.
It lias Iteen decided tiiat the several
traction companies are guilty of a mis
demeanor iu allowing tbeir ears to re
main without life-saving fenders after
tiie time allowance made by the
courts, isucli an utter disregard for
the safety of the public, in whose ser
vice these companies are bound, and (
whose lives they should in every pos- .
sible way protect from any accident, (
is deserving of condemnation, and those j
iu power should sutler. A dose of uu
prejudiced law, vigorously applied, will (
bring these companies to their senses (
and make them see tiie superior value
of protecting life, rather than the ac- '
cumulation of money by its disregard. I (
i '
An effort is being made in New j
York to injure the standing of the j
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Compa
ny; the purpose of which it is thought !
i< to depress the stock for some coup \
d'etat in the stock exchange. A j
prominent metropolitan newspaper j
published recently a rather critical and j
apparently damaging article upou the
statement of the company. From j
prominent sources it is learned that no
uneasiness is felt, and that the court
i
i deuce of the people in the superior
management of the roa i is even more
steadfast and pronounced. If indica
tions point to any conclusion, we think '
the condition of the Baltimore and
t Ohio Railroad Company is better to-day
( than ever, and tiiat in a short time ils i
stock will become uon-purcbaseable.
I Some of the bankers have been get- j
. ting pretty anxious about the financial .
. affairs of the country, and have sug-1
. gested that Secretary Carlisle should j
he asked to step down and out. It is a j
matter of wonder just what the bank- !
a j ers want Secretary Carlisle to do. Do !
. they want him to sit on the gold re-1
t serve and attempt to keep it in the j
, treasury by so doing? The currency ■
laws of the country stand to-day as j
they have stood for years, with tiie ex- ,
1 ceptiou of the Sherman silver !
5 purchase law. The laws make it pos- ;
, sible to do certain things and Secretary
. Carlisle is bound by those laws. If I lie
bankers are so auxious to have the i
treasury gold reserve maintained, let '
them show a little patriotism, and uot ,
make every effort iu their power to re- >
duee tiie reserve and line their own I
pockets.

i taking a most charitable course in j
' championing the cause of the poor and !

. I paper has started a "coal fund,’’ sub-
I scribing a munificent sum for a start
er and each day devoting much space j

• ject for which it was instituted and !
tiie crying ueed of helu for the deserv- j
iug and unfortunate. The amount al-1
ready donated is about $350, and many !
• cheerless firesides have been redeemed j
and life made brighter for those (.’ho ;
experience the majority of “the ills j
tiiat Hesh is heir to.” This is only one !
of the many sterling movements in- j
augurated by the Herald and the rapid- j
ity with which this journal is moving
to the front rank, attests its popularity j
and the desire of the people to patron-!
ize a deserving and progressive news

The New York World , in itscolmvh ,
supplement on Sunday las', gave quite i
an amusing and timely cartoon, i'lus-|
i trating the chief subject of interest in j
that city at the present time—Park
hurst and tiie Lexovv investigation.
The cut represented, of course with
due respect, the now noted minister,
in the garb of Moses, standing on the
Mount, viewing in the distance the
promised land, which in this instance
consisted of picture reforms in all tiie
municipal departments. There is ev
ery indication that tiie tenure of the
Lexow Committee will bj exteuded
by the legislature and that the other
departments of the city government
will be closely examined. Great dan
ger exists that Rev. Charles Parkhurst,
who has been so instrumental in bring- |
ing about the recent investigation in |
New York, will greatly dim the glory
of success already attained by self lau
dation and explanatory discourses.
He should let the public be tiie judges j
iu his action.
Senator David B. Hill, of New |
York, was one of the distinguished j
guests at the White House recently, j
upon the occasion of the dinner given j
by President Cleveland to his Cabinet, j
Many newspapers are disposed to look
upou this mere matter of courtesy,
wliieli should exist between the Chief ,
Executive and the members of Con
gress, in a sensational iigiit and make j
all kinds of peculiar prognostications:
for the future and explanations tor ■
events in the past. When men iu pub- j
lie or private life carry political, relig
ious or business differences and dis- ,
j agreement into their homes, and let
them influence their social and friend
ly dispositions, then it is time to won- ;
der where we are drifting. Whilst it
is constantly doue everywhere and
great injury results, two wrongs never
yet made a right and a bad example is ;
by no means a proper precedent to
guide the footsteps of those who come
behind. We venture to -ay that, what
ever may have been (lie strained legis
lative and political relations bet ween I
the two men above named, they are
friends and fellow statesmen and give j
such appearance to their social word
and action.

FREDERICK CITIZEN FRIDAY MORNING, JANUARY 11. R 95
Our Sesqui-Centennial.
Very satisfactory, indeed, was the
meeting held last night, in the interest
of the proper observance of the Sesqui-
Centennial of Frederick City. For quite
a time this matter has been agitated
and there is uow every indication that
the celebration will be a credit to those
wlio have the arrangements iu charge,
and an houor to our Mountain City,
about which so much has been said
and written iu fame and story. It is
only proper to take heed of the lliglit ‘
of time and tiie incidents which mark
its rapid progression. Oue hundred and ,
fifty years have passed since the form
ation of what is now a laige sized town, *
with every advantage of municipal or
der and government; varied manufac- j
tilling and business industiies; public
and private institutions, all making,
In one agreeable combination, a mod
ern city. “From small acorns large '
oaks grow,” is a simile that can heap- (
plied to Frederick. But whilst the
progress which has been already made ,
, is permanent and far reaching in its
scope and influence, there is yet abun
i dant room for important modern
I changes and advancement from old
j customs, old ideas and deep rooted con
servatism, which lias so ofhnandso
| seriously hampered the expansion of
I our commercial and municipal welfare.
The aim of our people in the future
should be to place the dear old city
! (old only in years and recollections), in
the front rank with other towns in this
and adjoining States, and the result only
j can he accomplished by concerted ac
tion and indefatigable exertion. Fred
erick lias yet a deeper and more sacred
; tie than that of propositions and ex
pectations for the future—it is the
i home of our youth, our native city, in
i which from childhood’s hour we have
lived and loved. It is the past we
I look back to with such feelings of rev-
I erence, and without knowing why, our
minds become impregnated with in
i delible memories of persons, places and
: things, associated pleasantly or other
wise with those days. As the years
| have rolled by and borne us with them
upon the bosom of the seething river of
j life, the changes that have taken place,
i the passing away of relatives, friends
i and great personages upon the stage of
the world’s history; the great progress
in every branch of science ami art; the
number of devastating wars that have
j plunged the country into unbounded
grief and expense; the change of gov-
I eminent il policy and ruling, these and
j other events which go to make up a
i nation and its people, have come and
' gone like tlie ages and leave tbeir i:n
print upon succeeding time and genera
! lions. As a nation, we celebrate the
anniversary of the Declaration of lude
i pendence and here, in Frederick Coun
ty, we honor the memory of the judges
' who repudiated the odious stamp act.
! W by, then, shouid we not lend our ef
forts towards a proper observance of the
150th anniversary of the founding of
the city in which we live. Let all put
, a shoulder to tHe wheel and show to
| the world the glories of history which
j encircle the fair name of Frederick, and
j make it memoratde the country wide.
\ Those wlio have undertaken tile work
j can lie relied upon to accomplish it in a
j manner eminently satisfactory.
It may seem strange and contrary to
jail precedent and religious teachings,
. hut the practice of giving “teas” and
j “at homes" on the Sabbath Day is be
coming more generally popular. Of
|course,it all depends upou the elabor
ateness of the occasions above men
, tioued, whether or not the custom will
| lie denounced from the pulpit and
. come under the ban of church displeas
! ure. In these very days, the habit of
Sunday calling and social gather
ings on that day, lias taken a firm
hold upon the people, and oftimes,
whilst not so named, the routine of re
ceptions and other social usages of like
nature, are observed; not, however,
with any intended disrespect to
tiie holiness of the day. It is not
possible that anything but the
simplest forms of social enter
tainment will be countenanced by the
cliristianly disposed, as it would lie in
direct opposition to all State and de
nominational ideas of propriety and
reverence.
T M
The report, widely circulated last
week, to the effect tiiat the resignation
of Secretary Carlilse had been demand
ed by prominent New York financiers,
j has been indignantly denied. The at
: tacks recently made upou the chief of
! treasury department are extremely an
j noyii’g to the President and are gener
: ally groundless and without the esseu
| tial element of truth. It is said, by
those who are considered-authorities in
j such matters, that the design of those
who make the senseless charges against
the Secretary Is to accomplish his re
tirement and put In his place some one i
! more in keeping with the denizens of!
Wall street and its numerous tributa
ries. ’fhe many friends of Mr. Carlisle
claim tiiat his financial measure will,
possibly with some few alterations,
pass Congress at this session, and that
he had no intention of resigning the j
position which he has so far filled j
with so much dignity, ability and in- j
dependence.
Democrats, and ill fact the entire
1 country, can look with better feelings !
upon the present working ol tlie tariff i
' bill, now that all the clauses have be- <
come operative. We have all along '
been extremely hopeful of Its fulfilling '
the pledges of its supporters, and pre
dict a great change in public, through '
regarding it in the near future. The
| receipts for last month aggregated over *
j $1,000,000 daily. J

1 The banquet to be given by Alexander
j Young (tamp of Confederate Veteraos, will I
I take place on Saturday night, the lath inst., at e
the City Hotel. r
Representative J. C. Sibley’s de
nunciation of the admiuistratiou in
Congress Tuesday, has been the talk of
the whole country since. It was char
acterized by language and phrases most
violent and abusive, and we wonder
that such leniency was shown him by
the presiding officer. He is a “blather
skite.”
A graceful tribute was paid to Judge
Vinson by the Frederick bar, both in
the character of the resolutions passed
as also the beautiful banquet given at
the Carlin House, upon his retiring
from the bench. For years Judge j
Vinson has been one of the Associate i
Judges of this judicial district, and af- ]
ter his long term of service, it is most I
gratifying to state that in every way, 1
lie has commanded the confidence and
respect of the people of our county, ir- j
respective of their political affiliations.
Judge Vinson can feel proud of the ;
record he has made in Frederick
County; he takes with him the best
wishes of our people, and the many
friends he has made by his courteous
and gentlemanly manner will always
be glad to learn of his good health and
future happiness.
An Appointment for the Cumber
land Postoflice.
President Cleveland has recently
made an appointment in connection
with the Postoflice Department, that
iias created much comment and sur
prise. For some time past, a number
of applicants have been presenting
their claims for recognition in the mat
ter of the postmastership of Cumber
land; a most desirable position by the
way, paying in the neighborhood of
$2,000 per annum, besides carrying
with it a certain percentage of political
honor. Various surmises and opinions
as to wlto the successful applicant
would be, were generally circulated
ami everything seemed in perfect read
iness, yet when the appointment came,
it was so unexpected, that even t lie
: lucky aspirant was as bewildered as
the unfortunates. It was thought that
tlie matter would not be disposed of
or some time, but the President, not
caring to hamper himself with too
many cases of like nature, made way
with this one at an early date. The
fortunate man is Mr. Daniil Kean, a
well known business man of Cumber
land. Among those also desirous of
the position were Col. John \V. Aver
etl, editor of the Times, of that city,
and recently proprietor of the Hagers
town News, and Dr. J. F. Zaeharias.
There were a number of others in at
tlie start, but during the race they
dropped out, as ehanches diminished.
It is said that a contest will be made
for the defeated applicants, and as the
Senate has not yet confirmed the ap
pointment, those who are working for
them say they have hope of success,
fills leaves the matter still in an un
set I led condition. The Republican in
cumbent. thinks he has been treated
rather discourteously by the adminis
tration, doubtless supposing that he
had a life tenure.
General Trade Review.
Says the Baltimore Herald : Thegeti
eral trade situation remains very quiet.
It is too early in the year for much
new business, with stocks in most de
partments moderate, and little replen
ishing lias been done. The outlook for
an early improvement, however, is very
good. Prices for all commodities have
reached an unprecedentedly low level,
and that this fact alone will assist
business materially is the belief of mer
chants in general. As regards the in
dustries, matters have as a rule baeu
adjusted to the new tariff basis, and lit
tle, if any, trouble is anticipated on
this score. Iu financial circles interest
is largely centered iu the continuance
of gold exports, which iu the past week
have again been large; and iu view of
this iieavy outtlow of gold and the con
sequent steady decrease in the Treas
ury gold reserve. Prices for cotton are
unchanged. The market rules quiet,
with receipts still larger than last sea
son. The market is fairly active.
Wheat prices are £ to 1 cent higher.
Movement iu the past week has been
light and export demiyuil moderate.
On the seaboard corn shows an ad
vance of nearly 1 cent. Receipts have
been limited, with the demand forex
port very quiet. Failures for 1894, as
fully reported in the past week to It.
O. Dun & Co., were 13,885 in the Uni
ted States, with liabilities of $172,992,-
85(1, which is a decrease of more than
50 per cent., as compared with the total
iu 1893.
Mr. Waters’ Assailants Captured.
Detectives Kratz, Hussey and Pum
phrey have arrested rive men in Phil
adelphia on the charge of being impli
cated in the shouting of Mr. Charles
Dorsey Waters, an account of which
appeared last week iu the Citizen, on
(lie Frederick road, on the night of De
cember 22tid.
The men arrested are George Derr,
alias “Farmer Brown,” and “Baltimore
Butch,” of Balimore; Thomas Nolan,
William Tobin, alias “Ramnler,” and
Michael McKenny, all of New York,
and John Sweeney, who has no per
manent place of residence. On Thurs
day of last week, the detectives learned
that the men had gone to Philadelphia
and yesterday they arrested Derr on
Walnut street. He was taken to police
headquarters and a search was institu
ted for tlie other men.
The detectives surrounded a lodging
house at 293 GaskiH street, in which
they found 10 men, who were conduct
ed to a police station and examined.
Nolan, Tobin, McKeunyand Sweeney
I were found to lie the ones wauled.
The prisoners will he held at police
headquarters in Philadelphia until
they are indicted and requisition pa
pers can be procured, when they will
be brought to Baltimore for trial.
The Lesser of the Two Evils.
|
Says the Wheeling Register : It is
rather amusing to hear the rich folks
! howl against the income tax. It may
i be unconstitutional, but its 2 per cent,
levy on incomes in excess of $4,000 will
not be generally looked upon as particu
larly unjust or burdensome or one
sided, in view of the lale McKinley
tariff, which levied an average of 00 per
cent, on the whole of the poor man’s
small income in taxes on his necessa
ries of life.
No Corrections to bo Made.
Says an exebang: Senators Cockrell,
Gorman and Jones and Senator Alli
son Republican, had an informal meet
ing yesterday to discuss the prospects
of correcting the present tariff law by
amendments to tne urgent deficiency
Dill. After tlie conference it was stat
ed that no attempt would he made to
make corrections.
Have You a Cold in the HeadP
Read This.
Tltf* Morning Advertiser, New Y'>rk,
gives tiic following remedy for a cold
in the head, worth just as much as if a
physician had pul it down on a pre
scription blank in li;>crogliphics and
charged for the effort a $5 bill:
The cold is the result of an extra
pressure of blood in the head, which
obstructs the general circulation. The
nostrils are distended, (lie mucous
membrane is swollen and the buck
part of lie throat becomes “enppy”
and dry. Nothing is bet'er than a Ind
foot hath and a hot drink, followed by
| a Dovers powder. Then one grain of
] quinine, with one-quarter of a grain of
red pepper, should lie taken every two
I hours for twenty-four hours. By that
'■ time vour coid will have disappeared.

Worthy Sentiments.
| Unable to he present at the New
York Business Men’s Banquet, held iu
I that city last Tuesday evening, Senator
Hill sent his regrets m a letter, a pint
of which is as follows:
“ i'liis is the time, shove all others,
when the Democracy should get to
gether—a time for faithful adherence
to Doctrines, a time for courage, for
zeal, for the revival of the parly spirit,
for the election ot official standards
for reforms within party lines where
ever they are needed, for unity of ac
tion and faith in the ultimate ascend
ancy of our principles.”
