It will continue to be a Democratic publication. or Maryland. A me3sage has recently been de livered to the Democracy that is worthy of the most careful consid eratioa of the members of the party. The message is from Senator Isidor Rayner( who repiesents Maryland in the United States Senate. As Maryland is one of the States that it is !r"e?r for thr Democrats to cairy to win the ne:t 'legion, this mess.ige of advice from her most distinguished son on ;!'? course the party should puisne is the more worthy of attention. We all appre ciate the fact that when ;t new issue arises the Democratis party must take its stand upon one sUe or the other, and as new issues develop parties must enlarge arid expand. ro one d. snes to restiict the Demo cratic f arty either to a dead issue or simply to those that existed at the f;me '.'f its formation. Xow, have we any piinciples? I think we have. Ihss the Republi can party stolen them? I acquit fhem of the charge. 1 tbi 'k that they are entirely innocent, and I do i)t Wlieve I hat they have any felon ious intent or design whatever to appropriate them. Is the president a Democrat? I most respectively- deny it. We must not yield the slightest, fraction of the supremacy of the? States over their own local and dd mestic concerns. This is our herit age, and we must not barter it for wealth, for progress oi prosperity. Prosperity may be only temporary, but the foundations of the republic are perpetual. In the next place, we are opposed to governmental paternalism. It is a reproach to Jefferson to claim that if we were living he would be id fa vor of it. I predict, with great re spect to others who may differ with me, that the day will never came when the Government of the United States will own and operate the rail roads ot tne conntry. . give ine preiieni xuuituau T i . x n t .1 I Jaw a fair test and trial, and oeg noJ. if it answer the purpose of its enactment let us extend its provis ions and supplement its remedies so that it will meet any emergency that may arise. There is one pro position, however, that the Demo, cratic party must contend for in this connection, and that it must demand a complete obedience to the existing statute. The railroad presidents and officers of our trunk lines must be made, once and for ever, to realize that thf y are the servants, and not the masters of the people. If we advocate principles that are not Democratic and be again de feated artbe oils, then it looks to me as if the hour of disintegration was at band, because the only thiug that has kept us alive through all the strange vicissitudes of our fortune is the fact that we have never yet wholly abandoned the historic tra ditions of our faith and have never yet, upon all the pages of our his tory, sounded a final retreat. If the Democratic party will only follow Jeffersonian precepts and ax ioms without attempting a revised edition that he would repudiate if be were living; if it will only unite upon esseotials and not divide upon non-essentials; if it will only stand by the old ritual and Dot attempt to altar it to suit every economic clique or mongrel denomination that is willing to array himself under iU banners; if it will only abandon the worship of temporary idols that are broken into fragments with the close of every campaign, and return to the worship of those cardinal prin ciples that will remain immutable so long as the republic lasts, re gardless of the fast whether parties discard them or not then I believe that our mission is by no means end ed, but that, emerging from the earthly lethargy that envelops uq, we shall be recalled to life to v the activities of our nr v tance and to the ar "V of our historic dest; Eff W.C. i has been a of the So He arrive
