Tar Democratic platform this vear de-
clares protection unconstitutional. - This
is nothing new. as Democratic platforms
have nlways declared something uncon-
stitutional. In 1861 it was uneonstitu-
tional to send telief to the garrison in
Fort Sumpter. In the same year it was
unconstittitional to try to break down the
secession fence, and it was uncoustiti-
tional for United States troops to march
through Baltimore on their way to Wash:
ington. In 1862 it was unconstitutional
for President Lincoln to emancipate the
slaves. In 1864 it was unconstitutional
to suppress the copperhead newspapers.
In 1864 everything the government dia
was unconstitutional and the war was a
failare. In 1879 resumption of apecie
payment was unconstitutional. It was
uncondtitational to amend the Constitu-
tion. But the government went ahead
and did all these things and the Democ-
racy accepted them. The party had to
declare something unconstitutional this
year, and the McKinley bill, which had
been passed upon by the Supreme Court,
was the victim. After it has been fully
indorsed by the people in November the
Democrats will claim that was what they
wanted. —Inter Ocean.

AN OLD FRIEND OF GROVER. These Buffalo
people tell a very funny story about Grover Cleve-
land and one of their saloon-keepers whom he
knew iu the old days when he was a Buffalonian!
It seems that the salvon-keeper, 'Lonis Goetz,
called on Cleveland in the Broad street law office
the other day. It also seems that he does not
speak English very’well. This is how Louis tells
what happened:
“I vent to the door,” said he, “and a man vants
my card. Ididn’t got any card exceptone about
my saloon, so, anyvay, I gave dot to him.

THE NATIONAL PIER.
‘Some Ancient History in Which Sal-
isbury is Interested.
The year 1820 developed one of the
most ‘extraordinary examples of grand
larceny that ever occurred on the road,
and excited the people all along the line
from Baltimore to the farthest point west.
During the early spring of the year men-
tioned a merchant whose name was Bore-
land. doing business in an Ohio town,
took passage in a coach of one of the reg-
ular stage lines for Baltimore, to purchase
a stock of fresh goods. At Tomlinson’s
tavern, west of Cumberland, John Keagy
and David Crider, merchants of Salisbury,
Somerset county, Penna., took seats in
the same coach that was conveying Bore-
land, destined also for Baltimore on a
like mission. Jt required considerable
time to reach Baltimore, and passengers
in a stage coach become acquainted, one
with another, The three merchants not
only became personally acquainted with
each other, during their long stage ride,
but formed strong friendly relations.
Reaching Baltimore they stopped togeth-
er at the same hotel and talked over their
business, ‘the quality and quantity of
goods required by each, forming the lead-
ing topic of their conversation. They
went out among the wholesale stores of
thé city, and bought the goods they de-
sired. the stock purchased by Mr. Bore-
land being much larger, finer and more
varied than the stock bought by the Som-
erset county merchants. :
Upon’ completing his purckases, Mr.
Boreland’s first thought was to have his
goods safely shipped, upon the best terms |
obtainable. Messrs. Keagy and Crider
kindly tendered their services to aid Mr.
Boreland in engaging a tr usty wagoner
to hanl his goods to Ohio, and introduced
one Edward Tissue as the right man for
that purpose. Tissue was engaged, but
one wagon hed would not hold all the
goods of Mr. Boreland, and Mr. Tissue
brought in and introduced another wng-
oner by the name of Edward Mitchell,
who was engaged to baul the remnant
that could mot be handled by Tissue. ;
Mr. Boreland having arranged for the
transportation of his goods, said gowd-
bye to his friends Keagy and Crider. and
left for his home in Ohio. His goods not
arriving when dune, he supposed some ac-
cident had caused a delay, and that they
would be forthcoming as soon as prac.
ticable. But days and weeks passed nud
Mr. Boreland began to feel unedsy about
the long delay, and wrote the consignors
in Baltimore for an explanation. They
replied that the goods had been carefully
loaded in the wagons of Tissue and Miteh-
ell; according to the agreement, and they
1 knew nothing of their destiny “beyond
that. Boreland then took to the road to
find his goods.
more and learned that Tissue and Mitch-
ell had left that city with the goods in
their wagons, and proceeded ‘westward,
He traced them ns far as Hagerstown, ol
and at that point lost his clue. He pro-
‘ceeded to Cumberland without tidings of
his lost goods. From Cumberland he
went on, making inquiry at every tavern
and toll gate until he reached Somerfield,
but heard nothing of Tissue or his com:
companion, Mitchell. He put up for the
night at a®tavern in Somerfield. and
while at supper discovered A new and
important clue.” The waiting maid at
the table wore a tortoise shell comb, re-
sembling very much those in a package |
he had bought in Baltinwore. In polite
and delicaie terms he inquired of the
girl where she obtained 86 handsome a
comb. 8he replied: “In a store at Sal-
ishury.” In an instant Mr. Boreland re.
called his fellow merchants and recent
fellow travelers, Messrs. Keagy and Cri-
der of Balisbury, but concluding thay
they had purchased the sate quality of
combs in Baltimore, he went to bed,
with a purpose of continuing his resenrch-
ex along the National road. During the
night he changed his purpose, and in flie
morning returning to Tomlinson’s tavern,
and thence directly to Salisbury. Rencli-
ing Salisbury he entered a store, and to
his amazement saw upon the counters
and shelves various articlea which he
recognized as belonging to his stock.
Investigation disclosed a remarkable
example of criminal conduct. Keagy.
Crider, Tissue and Mitchell entered into
8 conspiracy to steal Boreland’s gonds,
The acquaintance formed in the stage
coach conBituted the initial point of the
scheme, and Keagy and Crider found
ready associates in Tissue and Mitchell:
Tuere was of course to be a division of
the spoils, but in what proportion never:
was made public, The wagoners to avoid
identification changed the color of their
wagon beds from blue to red, and upon:
reaching Hagerstown diverged from the
National road and took the country by-
ways. The goods were placed at first in
a Targe barn in the vicinity of Salisbury,
and thence earried in small lots to the store
of Keagy & Co.. A portion of the goods
consisting of fine ehinawaro, thought to
be too expensive for the Salisbury trade;
was broken up and buried under ground.
There was a third owner of the Salisbury
store by the name of Markle, who did
not accompany his partners on their tour
to raisestock. Boreland, after thorough-
ly satisfying himself that he had found
his goods, proceeded to Somerset and

The warrant was placed for exectition

of Somerset county. Keagy was first ar-

but goaded by the weight of his offense,
soon thereafter committed suicide. Tis-
sue fled the jurisdiction and was never
apprehended. Crider also fled and lo-
cated in some of the wilds of that early
day, in the state of Ohio, where lie mar-
ried and raised a family, and it is said,
has living descendants to thisday, Mar:
kle essayed to flee, but made a failure of
it. Qiving out the impression that he
had followed in the wake of Tissue and
Crider, he concealed himself in the woods
not fur from Salisbury, and was supplied
with food by a devoted wife. OuneSBloan.
however, happened to fall upon Markle’s
hiding place and he was arrested. Mar
kle owed Sloan a sum of money and pro-
posed to settle if Sloan would release
him from custody. To this Sloan as.
sented. Markle had uo ready money, but.
owned property and proffered his note;
which Sloan agreed to accept. But no.
means were at hand to prepare a note.
After canvassing the situation for a while,
a pen was made from a stick of wood,
ink obtained from stump water, and Sloan.
producing a scrap of paper, a note was
prepared and duly signed by Markle for
the sum hie owed Sloan, and the money
subsequently paid by Markle’s wife.
Sloan promised Markle that he would
not make known his hiding place, but it!
leaked out and he was arrested bv the
sheriff, He requested premission of ‘th
sheriff to go to his house to change his.
clothes, which was granted him, and tak-
ing advantage of the sheriff's indulgence,
fled to parts unknown. His wife rejoined
him in after years at ‘some point in th
west. 8
