nsat" Let what will toe started o,
commenced in this sublunary world
as from the days of Christopher Col.
umbus down, there always are, and
always will be, a set Of unheIiever>
and fault finders, who with old foey
ideas and Anticipated notions are firm
in the belief that nothing NEVER can
be liscoverel-no public good can be
accomplished-no omeIioration of the
condition Of peoples be wrought out,
without first getting their assent to
the agitated problem. Toreason with
all such anti-deluvians would simply
be a waste of time. We cannot con-
sent to do it. They still contend that
a Railroad cannot run up hill, not
withstandng every day they see and
hear of the Locomotive crossing the
mountain.

This beautiful inland village at the
foothills of the Blue Ridge or Catoc-
tin Mountain, near the entrance to
Harman's Gap, the whereabouts of
the CATocTIN CLARION, is situated
exactly on the line of the Western
Maryland Railroad, the great thor
oughfare from Baltimore, 60 miles by
rail from tide water, in the midst of
an unsurpassed mineral region, where
the salubrity of the climate and pure
water abounds. 1t will soon become
noted as fashionable watering place
and resort for the gay bellies and men
of business of Baltimore and Wash
ington and the further ATTITUDES of
the South. 1t is in close proximity
to Mt. st. Mary College and st. Jo-
seph's Sisterhood and the Battlefield
Of Gettysburg-the Thermopylae Of
the Rebellion. Churches and colleges
and manufactures and good society
are springing up all around it,
When the spring opens various en-
terprises will be commenced to make
it 50 ahead. The prospect is bril-
liant.

IoAN ll-Lf, jan. ~, 100 -
Mr.. EDITOR We have observed
several notices about our New County
Seat of Catoctin. Rocky Ridge claims
to have finger in the pie, and Crea-
gerstown claims to have right to the
Court House. Now we the people of
Foxville, Hauvers District, think we
ought to have finger in the pie also.
We admit that Creagerstown is
pleasant location, with ample fresh
air, but while we concede to the above
fact, we must also consider that the
Creagerstown people only get the afr
from the mountain. Now we have
plenty of good air, fire and water,
three elements which abound in our
midst, and which ought not to be
overlooked in locating a County Seat.
We stand on high eminenoe--so we
think we ought to have a say in the
matter. On this subject more at an
other time.
We were to have had il fashionable
wedding in our midst on the lst in
slant, of two gay young couple but
they shipped down to Union Bridge.

Bgls" 1t is not true, as some have
asserted, that Mr.. Henry j. Krise, OF
Creagerstown, is opposed to the cree
ton of New County North of Fish

rolitan in his views to be opposed to
a measure of general utility. Besides
it will give Creaserstown u lift, and
that will be something gained.

nA- When DANIEL O'CoNNELL, in

troduced his Bill into the British Par
lament for Catholic Emancipation III
1928 or 1929, he was told by certain
wiseacres, that the measure never
would carry. That it was u"co'St-
tutionol, and opposed to the interests
the passions and prejudices of the
British people, and that public opinion
would never sanction it. "Sir, re,
sponded the Liberator, "the British
people are not all bigoted set Of
fools; they have not forgotten their
early history-the teachings of Saint
Augustin, William of Wickham, and
the example and historic renown OF
their wisest King, Alfred the Great ;

left; and J intend to uglt0te the

Tho Delaware Legislature.

The General Assembly of this State will meet
at Dover on the first Tuesday in January. II con-
tains majority of Democrats; there being IN me
House fourteen Democrats from Kent and Sussex
counties and seven Republicans from New Castle
county In the Senate there will he eight Demo-
Gratis and one Republican,; making the two houses
stand politically twenty-five Democrats and eight
Republicans. 1t will he seen that the Democrats
have two-thirds majority in each house thuer
the circumstances il is not likely there Will he
much change in our laws. The present tax bill
may, perhaps, he amended to some extent ny the
abolition of the tax on ,rlvcl and the attachment
of money for wages may also be stricken ont or
modified in some way to meet the demands OF
public opinion which after all is what legislatures
are elected to do But we presume no attempt
will be made to make an entire new tax law; ana
as We hear of very little important business to be
brought before it, infer that the session wlii hc
short and possess no very great interest. Know
ing both houses to lie decidedly Democratic the
Republicans may get up numerous bills having
especial reference 10 the peculiar views that nave
distinguished their party for the past SIX or cigh'
wears, and make show of desiring their passage
whether they really do or not.
