sB The Washington Republic in speak
ing of the result of the Connecticut cleo
zion, remarks:
Gone thing, however, is clear, the Re-
publican party that has been in power has
kept on the statute books one of the most
exactirg temperance laws ever enacted by
any State in the Union. and, as has been
seen by the action of the Prohibitionists,
the political power of the State is now to
be turned over to party whose platform
openly declared for the loosest legislation
in reference to the sale of intoxicating
drinks. In other words, class of voters
protesting to seek only temperance in their
political action have most effectually done
exactly the opposite. This has been we'll
nigh universally the result where Prohi-
bition political party has been formed.
How long before it will be understood and
accepted as part of the Democratic and
liquor game?"

Notary's seal, and whose Office is in the
office of Register of Wills.
Mr.. Samuel B. Foard, an old Elktonian,
who has never dabbled in Office before,
being of a bucolic turn of mind, has
procured him the seal of a Notary, and
opened office in the Clerks Office, next
door to Mr.. lamar. Whether this is a
partnership, rivalry, or either we don't
know, but the public will know by their
cards they are equipped for business and
anxious to serve them in all cases where
the broad seal of Notary Public is re-
quired.

The Lady Washington Tea Party.-The
Lady Washington Tea Party for the benefit
of the Presbyterian Church, which came
off in the Hall on Tuesday evening, was
great success. Being something new every
body had a quarter to invest. The General
and his lady were present in what was
termed "court Dress surrounded by a
guard of honor. One of the Generals
staff officers fiery old Stark we believe,
who advised his Chief just before the bat
tie of Trenton that he would have to use
fire arms in place of picks and shovels if
he expected to achieve the independence of
his country, presented the company. The
General made speech to the company in
which he reminded them that he had fire.

odd years ago, and stopped at an old
building in the west part of the town; that
the town had changed very little within
that brief space of time, that he at present
enjoyed good health although he was now
about one hundred and forty-three years
old, and that he had enjoyed one of Mr..
Wells fine Philadelphia beef steaks that
morning with as much zest as he had while
encamped at Valley Forge. Lady Wash
ington was very dgnified and youthful in
her appearance and manners. In fact the
General and his matchless lady and the
staff all seemed to have renewed their
youth. The Lady Washington Tea, which
McCrery & Boulder had thoughtfully pro-
vided for the occasion was pronounced
prime, by the old ladies of the company,
who become exhilerated and lively as young
girls under the inspiring influence of a few
cups.
This Lady Washington reception was
profitable in many ways. 1t served to re-
vive the patriotic fires, kindled in rs which
had burned very low, and brought to the
church fund the sung little sum Of $50.

Town election for Elkton will he held
on Monday next. These are very hard
times on Elkten property holders, and we
want Board of Commissioners who will
cut down taxes to the lowest figure posi-
BILE. The business of the place will not
bear much taxation unless property holders
wish what little enterprise is left to be
pushed out and driven away. Inducements
ought to be held out to capital to come and
organize business by guarantee of mini
mum taxation.
Governor Groome has appointed the
following Assessors for this county: II.
d. Miller, Edwin G. Chandlee, and Robt.
A. Evans. As the law requires all proper
ty to be assessed at it's cash value, we pro-
pose that the property of the county be
offered at Public Sale. We think it would
be demonstrated that the present assess
ment is from so to 60 per cent too high.
Assessors too often make the mistake of
determining in their own minds what pro-
petty ought to be worth in place of what
it is W nrth.
The law has been discovered to contra
dict itself, as the first section provides that
all property, real, personal and mired, Of
all kinds and descriptions in the State lex
cept certain property herein named, which
has heretofore been exempt shall be exempt
from taxation for State or local purposes.
This bungling will, of course, throw the
matter into the courts, and the course Of
wisdom would be for the Assessors not
to enter upon their labors till the subject is
settled.
Evans & Haines, whose debut we
have heretofore neglected to notice, have
recently opened out at Rising Sun, in the
store formerly occupied by Mr.. Jesse A.
Kirk, and show by their advertisement,
that they are not afraid to let /" all the
world and the rest of mankind" know
that they have for sale the kind of goods
