The following communication, being en-

to the Office of The Cecil Democrat. The
Editor being a peaceful man, however, and

equal to the preparation of it-after
prayerful consideration of its contents for
more than twenty four hours, in the mean
time gravely consulting as to its disposition

luded the publication of its statements and
assertions ut this time, as unwise, unneces-

FavOritism, or Drugs and Druggist.
Some time ago we heard the question dis
cussed, as to which of our Drug Stores
both Democratic-was the greater share of
county patronage given, learned doctor
of the G. Washington type, particularly,
maintaining with much vehemence, pre-
pondsrance. and from the records, in favor
of the upper one, or Frazer's. 1t struck
US as the more peculiar, on account of
our having repeatedly heard very different
statements concerning the same subject.
The Statement of Expenses for the
Poor, &c. in your last issue, recalled the
incident to our mind. In searching for
the item of Drugs for Aims House, of
course the most important of all in that
line, we find no entry for that same, what
ever but, covering the whole expenses for
that Institution, the simple total of four
thousand dollars, which, as regards particu-
expenditure, is most certainly indefinite.
Wishing to arrive at something like an
estimate, and casually meeting a gentle
man, whom, from conversations previously
held with him, we knew to be posted in
the matter, we inquired the approximate
amount of drugs, furnished, by the upper
Drug Store, to the Aims House during the
year. His answer was, and he knew it
from the proprietor's themselves, that dur
the past fire years. the duration of their
ownership, they had filled but one small
order for medicines, by them supposed to
have been the regular weekly supply, and
only that one, on account of a slight un-
pleasantness between the attending Physi-
clan and the gentleman of the lower store.
The order amounted to fraction over eight
dollars. Before the next week, harmony
having been restored, other data was never
furnished them upon which an estimate
might be based.
Allowing, then, that to have been an
ordinary demand, we may, therefore, make
the following exhibit:

Six hundred and twenty eight dollars and
ninety one cents, against twenty lone dol
lars and forty-four cents. Surely the ply
sician of the G. W. type, was either saying
what he knew to be false or did not know
what he was talking about. Now in our
opinion, this monopoly of county drugs,
has a mean, one-sded look. In general
merchandise, the trade is, and always has
been, equally divided among the different
Democratic stores Why should it have
stopped there. If the proprietor of the
upper Drug Store is Democrat, and helps
to fight the battles of the party, why has
he been prescribed the advantages such
action should have insured. The thing is
managed manifestly unfairly, and looks
discreditabe, not only to the officers having
charge of our Public Institutions, but as
we'll to all therein any way concerned in it.
NERITAs.
The above communication reveals chap
ter in the beautiful party politics as con-
Quoted by the ring. We fail to perceive
the right that any drug, or other store has
to claim the patronage of the Poor House,
over any other store on any grounds except
in quality Of goods and cheapness of price.
Republican tax payers furnish as much of
the taxes as Democrats, and political dis
tinctions carried into trade is the founda-
ton of all official stealing SO fashionable
nova days. The puzzle of "Veritas is
easily explained. The unfortunate Drug
Store isn't inside the "Elkton Ring"
