Mr.. Editor.-Joyless winner, with her
cold winds. deep SHOWS, and multitude
nous mud-holes is coming on, apace. A.
this early day, signs of old Jack Frost
can be distinctly seen, and fires are ex-
ceedingly comfortable, especially when
nights cold shades reign supreme. Some
of our citizens hereabouts, who. apropos.
have arrived at the biblical age of "three-
score years and ten" predict severe win
ter. How they manage to foretell, is a
problem yet to be solved. Maybe the un-
easy sensations about their '.jints" is one
of their signs Of future events. or. per-
chance, they are gifted with that peculiar
faculty of seeing what is not to be seem
1t is something-yon bet!
1t affords me much pleasure to say no
event of importance in political point of
view has occurred down this way, for
some days. The independent seekers Of
office seem to think they have the numer-
zeal ascendency in regard to the consti.-
uency which of course, ''time, the SUBJ
tlest marvel of the universe" will salts
factorily demonstrate. A bakers do
zen" of candidates, democratic and rice
rersa. paid their respects" O. to your
correspondent on the Goth inst. and what
seemed "quecr"-thc spirit of harmony
prevailed. Bows. smiles and regular old
pump-haudlc (up-and-dowu) shaking of
the hands we're the order Of the "wec
sma'' moments. The gentlemen, afore-
said didn't tasSy long. and left in "solid
phalanx, apparently wcll-pleased. Good
luck, ct cetera, to them. The 7M pror-
inso will tell the tale. A little patience
is required, that's all-for the good Book
says. HE that is patient is governed with
much wisdom"
The "gemnen" at the "Pine" are un-
commonly taciturn at present. There ap-
pears to be lack Of spirits Whereabouts.
Prithec, kind friends q in the name of
gun po1der and human-gore what is the
matter? Have you lost anything? Per-
haps some masculine "ragamutin" in the

passing in the way Of tying 6re-crackers

Really "it's too bad" as the porpoise

Instead Of resorting to indiscrimina,c
putting for the purpose Of forcing sales,
the manufacturers have oonteu,ed them
selves with allowing it to speak for itself. T"
The reader is aware tina, the qualifying
name of this fertilizer is Raw Bone.
We are anxious to know how much Of this
substance is used BY the manufacturers.
On a careful examination We found what
might be styled a sprinkling Of bone. but
not sufficient for the most limited excuse
for giving it the name of =" Raw Bone
Phosphate"
From the amount Of soluble phcsphoric
acid present in ton. the amount Of sui
phuric acid used must be very small. Mr..
Whann says that guano is used, but he
does not state the kind or kinds or the
proportions. We hazard the assertion
that there is large amount of Charleston
with 4 very small amount of Peruvian. -
He also notifies US that potash and soda
are used. The reader will notice BY the
antlysis that ton Of his superphosphate
contains 4 lbs. OF potash. worth 81 cents
The benefits resulting from such an amount

lbs Of potash for % bushels of wheat with
the straw. No adulteration is said to be
praeiised in preparing this superphosphate
but Mr.. Whann admits to using soda
We presume he means salt cake or sui.
plate Of soda. usually sold for $40 pei
ton. or he may apply salt or chloride oil
sodium. In either case when Mr.. Whanu
can prove the necessity Of the use of soda
in any form in superphosphate or that d
large amount of crude mineral phosphate,
which when ground. could not possibly
cost him over SIT per ton. should be
found in high priced fertilizer, repre-
sen,ed to be made from Raw Bone. aud
sells for $50 per ton, we will admit tina,
there has been no adulteration practised;
and when he can satisfactorily account for
the presence Of 26l go lbs. of insoluble
phosphoric acid in ton of his "super-
phosphate" and prove that this large
amount is Of immediate benefit to the
farmer or to his crops. we will give
Whann's Raw Bone Superphosphatc al
the merit claimed for it. Until then we
shall consider ourselves as cheated in our
purchase of this fertilizer, and claim the
right of expressing our opinion freely.
Our farmers should lake lesson from
Mr.. Whann aud use little of his caution
in making their purchases by assuring
themselves of the quality Of what they
buy. As Mr.. Whann say. he keeps a
chemist we think it is due to himself and
to the public tina, he should publish full
analysis of his superphosphatcs.

would be insulting to suppose that any

ONE OF ITS FRrIrs In morals as in

pen full Of theories. When we insisted

the party they claim to belong to. and
bsne6ting the party they claim to be OPP
posed to. we based our opinion upon theo-
Sy-souud theory. We believed.-theory
drawn from such data as. we had sup
posed. warranted our deduction. The
trouble was. our data was disputed. 1t
Vas denied. that the running Of indie
pendent democrats against the party NOM
iness in a tripar.ite fight could inurc to
the benefit Of radicals. and We were Just
about giving up the discussion as u,pro6t-
able when the municipal election in Bal
tinore came of. Now. the very fact we
were in hunt Of, this Baltimore election
furnishes. II shows, that in the 18th
ward there were three candidates run
only one could be elected-for City Coun-
ell the regular democratic nominee, an
independent democrat and the radical
candidate. The democratic nominee is
beaten-the radical candidate is elected
the Independent democrat just drawing

DoNEsTIc PoLTrIcAL OUTLOOK.
latest from the front il. that our radical
friends have at last "fxed up" their tick
ct. and to conceal it the better. have sent
iton to Baltimore to get it printed. Now.
- We confess never TO have seen this tick
ct with our own eyes. what better can We
do. il We speculate about it at all. than to
guest Nothing. and therefore guess it
10. We guess that it contains the names
Of the radical State candidates aud that it
does not contain the names of the demo-
cratic State candidates. Besides certain
Of the independent democratic candidates,
VIC guess that the ticket will contain even
the names Of certain Of the nominated can
didstes-,rho hare no opposition. This
has been done, not out of any special love
to these gentlemen. but TO keep the indie
pendent democrats on the same ticket in
good countenance and TO enable them to
'ay-"why, sir. you charge me with being
on the radical ticket,-look here, SIR
here are two or more nominated men on
the ticket. too! lfit is right for them
how can it be wrong for mew But to
return. The names of two independent
dcmocrats-we arc still guessing-will
be found on this ticket for the Legisla-
ture. You know whose names these are,
reader. without our telling you.
For the position of State s Attorney. there
will be on the ticket the name Of one indie
pendent democratic candidate and perhaps
the name Of radical candidate. too, un-
less OUR friends have determined on clean
ticket-that is. a ticket that can be voted
without scratching. For sheriff, the tick
ct will contain but one name and that name
will be the name Of q radical For the
Orphans Court, there will be one or per-
haps two names printed on this ticket, both
the names Of radicals, and the name Of no
democratic candidate For Commissioners
Court, the ticket will be full. embracing
Eve names, the names Of two Independent
democrats. two republicans. and the name
ola gentleman who is claimed by both par
ties. This is the end ofour guessing. except
this last guess. and that is. that the rad
icals will triumphantly carry to victory the
name Of every one Of our nominees which
they have put upon their ticket, and the
name Of nobody else!

To THE DEMOCRATS or Sr. MARr's.-
As the present is the last opportunity We
shall have Of addressing you through The
columns Of the Beacon before the election,
We take the liberty of reminding YOU. that
now. more strongly than ever, are you
called upon to keep f,ithful watch and
ward over your own fresides. It's moth
ing less than these that are now threaten
ed. Through the criminal divisions in
your party. the radicals hope 70 obtain.
and are aiming 10 obtain. control Of the
most important Of your local Csurss. II
you require to be told what this means.
We tell you. it means. not only .the power
to tax you and control your County funds.
but the power to say WHO shah Be pension
ed At your expense snd who shah not. the
power to appoint clerk to the Couuis-
sioners' Court. the power to appoint your
constables. your road supervisors. your
judges Of election. your trustees of the
Poor. and ancillary to this. your overseer
Of the Poor. with the control of the Poor's
House and all other public property in
your county. This is what radical Com

does not satisfy the radical appetite. They
want the sheriff, too. the States Attorney
and az least one member of your Orphans
Court! And this is no. an idle speculation Of
ours. The radical ticket, now being prin-
ted in Baltimore and which will be sprung
upon you on the morning of the election.
will confirm. in all material respects. the
forecastings we have here thrown out. In
the presence of this imminent peril to dem
ocrat'c supremacy in our county, is it not
time that disintereaed democrats in the
independent organization should abandon
the position they have assumed. with hon.
est intentions. no doubt. and ally them
selves at once with the only organized
power in the county which is capable of
confronting with effect the open and secret
enemies Of their county and their party

Dear Beacon.-For countless ages be-
fore this earth was created there was a
God. He was. as He is now. supreme.
He had legions Of angels. willing vassals.
to do his bidding. Finally a turbulent
spirit, Satan BY name, concluded to set M
for himself. He soon found others to Join
him. There was war in Heaven. Satan
and his compcers were cast out of Hea-
ven. We are told that he was bauished
to place called He'll. In his new abode
be and his followers set up government
of their own, sort Of commune. probably
it was democracy. Where this God for
saken country was situated, in the vast
aerial space Of Gods universe, know mo-,
But VIC read in Holy Writ that when God
placed our first parents in the garden Of
Eden. Satan was there tempting them to
transgress Gods commandments. From
the above one would infer that q people
have not the right to rebel-however there
is difference Of opinion as to that. Be
it as it may. the American people claim
the right Of rerolssion. Our forefathers
revolted against xymst taxation and we're
successful. The spirit Of revolt is rife
here at this time. Unjust taxation, with
out proper representation. is complained
Of. The precedent may be q dangerous
enc under present circumstances. Many
good and true men (tax-payers) think that
change is needed. that new men should be
appointed to take charge Of and handle the
peoples money and administer the affairs
OF the county. Others admit the fact but
fear tina. We run the chance of swapping
