FEBRUARY TwENTY-sECoND.


One hundred and twelve years ago, on the ODD
Of this month"; was born one of the best and the
greatest men that have adorned human nature
The name of Washington is associated with noble
and lofty principles and actions He is one of those
few TO whom refer with pride, and Ia
whom we eau cheerfully point pattern for our
sons. He was whole man. In him was a rare
combination of those native faculties aud those ac-
qured excellencies, which made him ''Firsi in war
first in peace, and first in the hearts of his country
men," Time and its revolutions do but increase
reverence for his character His fame rests on
an adamantlne basis. The manner in which he
conducted public affairs, and the wise counscls
which he left Gu record for the benefit of his eoun.
trymen, ought 10 be made special study by all our
citizens.
And 10 what better purpose could portion Of
each returning twenty-second Of February be ap.
proprated, shan TO u consideration of the life and
character of Washington What better act could
the people of this country perform, than 10 meet
together that day without, respect OF sect or par
ty aud consider the ruthlulness, the integrity the
nobleness, the fidelity of that great man and tC
read that afiectonate Farewell Address which he
left for our instruction and admonition?

sUpREME COURT.

L
The Supreme Court for this County held its an
nual session last week The only decided
that is of much general interest, in relation t'
the West River Bridge, in this town. This is .
Toll Bridge, owned by Cooperation chartered by
an Act of the Legislature in l705, and entitled by
that act to the exclusive right Of erecting and main
tanning bridge over West River within fouI
miles of its mouth for the term Of one hundred
years, and TO take certain tolls of the public for
passing over said bridge.
! A free highway has been laid over the bridge by
a Committee appointed by the County Court, on
the petition Of J. Dix and Others under the Act
Of 1881, authorizing the County and Supreme
Courts 10 take the real estate, easement franchise
ofany turnpike or other corporation when the pub
lie good required highway, under the restrictions,
regulations &c, that obtain in taking individual
and private property for similar purposes. provided
e ,choie of such real estate, franchise,
be taken and compensation made therefor
The report of the Committee so laying out said
highway, was accepted by the County Court at the
last November Term thereof; aud at this Term of
the Supreme Court a molten was made by the
Counsel of the Bridge Company, Hon w G. Brad.
ley aud Bradley aud Walker, for writ ofcerIiorari,
upon the ground of manifest error in the decision
below. The writ was granted without argument f;
the Court reserving the hearing until the record
should be certified up to them. The case was then
argued with great eloquemce and ability by the
Hon. w. C. Bradley, for the Bridge Company and
Gen Kellogg, for the Petitioners, was stopped by
the Court, who were ready to decide in his favor.
Although there were other points in the case
which were urged with great ingenuity and power,
the principal one was the Constiutionaly of the
law OF 1s39-it being contended that as applied to
the West River Bridge Company, ii in
ringeniant of that provision of the U. S. Consttu-
ton prohibiting State Legislation from impairing
the obligation of contIlcts-that the grant oil the
franchise to the Company was strlc;;''y contrsc'
between the State on one side and the Company
on the other, and as such binding on both-;hat
grant Of franchise was clearly distinguishabe
from grant of lands where there was always an
implied reservation that they might be taken for
public use.
The decision Of the Court was given by Redheld,
Justice who said that the Consttutionality Of the
law of 1889 applied to the taking of the real
estate easement or franchise of turnpike corpora.
tion had already been before the Court and had
been decided in favor of its Constitutionality--
they saw no to distinguish this case from
the one decided A grant of franchise is no more
sacred than grant of lands. We do not think
this grant a contract in the constitutional sense,
and therefore see error in the judgment of the
County Court, which is accordingly affirmed.
The case we understand is TO be taken up TO the
Supreme Court Of the United States.

| The Maryland Election, which took place
last week, resulted, TO the astonishment even
of the wings themselves, in their favor
throughout the State. The returns show the
election Of five out of six Wing members Of
Congress, and strong probability of the
choice of the sixth. The Baltimore American
of Friday says
In every district the Wings went into the
contest under The broad banner Of CLAY
AND THE TARIFF-and most signal has
been the victory achieved under its ample
folds.
We can assure our Wing friends in other
sections of the Union that they have in these
triumphant results an earnest Of the success
which will be achieved in Maryland in the
coming great contest for the Presidency.
The New York Tribune, in reference to this
result, reioices in the following manner:
nss Honor to he gallant Why's of Mary
land who have nobly started the ball
for 1914 A clear Wing Delegation
to Congress from thai State is what was MEIER
carried by any party before. Maryland has
for half century been one Of the most even
y balanced States in the Union, sometimes in
clinng one way, then the other. 1t has been
ruled by Loco F0co Governors steadily since
1888, had a Legislature of like faith last year (;
and has often sent against us six TO two and
five to three members in Congress. NV five
il not all sir, Wing Even last fall, the Lo-
co Focos figured up majority for themselves
in the popular vote. Now they are routed by
thousands Clear the way for the grand
sweep of 1914 Connecticut comes nexi
But the manner of this triumph pleases us
equally with the matter. There was no shut
fling, no hesitation on our side, but the most
eager determination 10 make broad and plain
issue. Protection for Projections sake--A
National Currency Land Distribution
were proudly embazoned on the Wing ban
ners and flashed in the faces of their adversa-
ries. Mr.. Kennedy took what by temporizers
is termed "utra" ground on the Tariff ques-
zion, in the heart of Maryland's great com
mercial mart, and placed his election on that
ground. Mr. Wethcred was nominated us

District ahrays hitherto Loco Foco by 600
to 500. His election astounds both fiends
and foes while Mr.. Kennedy, the author Of
the ",yni- Manifesto" of 1871, and who reit-
Grated the doctrines o. that Manifesto in his
recent address, is chosen by sos mau,i:s, in a
District which has hut once or twice before
given Wing majority, and Oliener been over

"FREE TRADE."-Notwthstan the clamor of
portion of the loco foco party about ''shackIng
commerce by the present tariff, yet that much
abused bill lays far less restrictions upon the pro-
ducts of foreign countries than the governments of
those countries impose upon American products.
The amount of duties annually collected by the
United States is not far from $22 900, OOO--while
from our exports to Europe alone, mostly articles
Of prime necessity, which cannot be obtained else
where than Of us, revenue exceeding $l30,00O,-
GOO is yearly derived. Our imports and exports
are about equal, so that European governments tax
the products of American industry nearly sir dol
lars where tax the products OF their pauper la
Dor ono. Let these despotic nations approximate a
little nearer TO standard of duties, and then il
will do for their backers the democrats, TO talk
abodt Stree trade

ADvERrisIse.--The mass Of those who attempt
TO do business have very imperfect notion Of the
immense advantages Of Advertising Many man
gives thousand dollars year for favorable
stand, yet grudges hundred for advertising not
rejecting that hundred men would be made ac-
quainted with his business through the newspapers,
where would pass and observe his store, though
in the most favorable location. There are few
who understand this matter and are making for
tunes, while thousands around them are toiling in
like pursuits barly to live, and often falling in

The OgIe LiJeier.-George w Bowman, the Lo-
co Foco beler of the late Charles Ogle, was tried
last week at Somerset, Penn, for that crime, and
the Jury brought him in guilty but Governor Por-
ter Immediately pardoned him This Governor
rarely permits justice TO overiake loco ioco no
matter what the crime. The libel referred to was
published in this city, by the Register, and it has
not been recan,ed. Ii was in substance, that MIR.
ogle exhibited great remorse Of conscience for
OF his Wing speeches; that he said AT his dying
hour tina. he never delivered it, &c. &c.-yeic ia.

Gen. Jacksoa's BW.--The Senate, on Wednesday
of last week, finally passed the Bill paying the fine
imposed upon General Jackson, at New ORLEANS,
by vote of 30 to II. The bill was Immediately
returned to the House, and during the day, signed
by the Speaker. The bill gave rise to a brief de-
bate in the Senate, during which MIR Hug,r, of S.
O., took occasion TO vindlcaie the memory of Judge
Hall from some of the ospersons which have been
cast upon it by his political friends. Mr. H. had
been fellow townsnlan with Judge Hall, and prac-
ticed law with him. He knew him to be incapable
Of any dishonest act.

in the adjoining state Of Massachusetts, hren-
ses for the sale of intoxicating drinks have

Therefore, Resolred, That the Judges Of

The TARIFF. WooL-Wool, we are
happy to inform our friends in the country,
is rising. A quantity was sold in this city
yesterday for - cents, cash. Wool of the
same quality was sold previous to the pas
sage Of the tariff bill for % cents, There
has therefore been rise of 80 per cent al
ready in the value in this great staple and
as the wooden manufactures all over the
country are in full operation TO the extent
of their power, it may reasonably be antici-
pated that wool will continue 10 rise until
the next clip comes TO market. 1t should
also be observed that the present rise has
taken place in the face of an increased
Western production of the article
The increase in the quantity of wool
shipped East of Pittsburg alone, in 1913
over that shipped in 1912 is $50 600 lbs.
The increase in the amount received at Al
bany and Troy in 1913 over 1912 is 3.000,-
900 lbs. /; making an increase of 4,250, 900
pounds. in the amount shipped from the
West by the Pennsylvania and New York
canals, Had it not been FOR this increased
production of Western Wool, there can be
no doubt that wool would now bring in this
market considerably more than 40 cents per
pound-a rise of 90 or 20 per cent. since
the passage Of the tariff, and in remarkA-
bly short time from the revival OF manuiac-
lures and trade generally. - Troy Wig.
