THE WISDOM OF DEMOCRATIC STATES.

THE WISDOM OF DEMOCRATIC STATES
MEN.-Senator Bogy, of Missouri, has been
devoting his intellect to the study of the
financial question, and the result is a letter
of two columns and ahalf. 1t is a wonder
full production, not a bit hampered by
"effete ideas" He says he was an intla-
ZIONIST two years ago, but not after the
Ohio pattern. He was only in favor of
initiation in spots; that is, he thought it
would be good idea to have little more
soft money dropped down in the West,
though care should be taken that the East
received none of it. Now, Mr.. Bogy is in
favor of contraction by means of initiation.
He proposes to accomplish this astounding
result by increasing the circulation of the
currency, and at the same time appreciat-
ing it by applying it to more uses. He
thinks this can be done by paying the Gus
toms duties in currency, thus lessening the
demand for specie and increasing the de-
mand for greenbacks. He has several other
equally valuable "ideas." They are all
wonderful and unique, and should be
patented.
Mr.. Pendleton complains that contraction
is running the business of the country.
The contraction amounts to just this: In
1866 there were outstanding in greenbacks
and national bank notes $64S, 1886, 900; July
1, 1875, the amount outstanding was $7s7,.
GAO, 6S9. The contraction" is in fact ar
addition of $7s, 754, 5ss, while there has
been an increase of over five hundred mil
lions in discounts as compared with April
1866. This is the " contraction that ruins
the industry of the country and calls for 3
new issue of irredeemable paper! Mr.
Pendleton might as well say that the coun
try flooded with water is suffering from
drought

For The Cecil Viii
WOOD LAWN CAMP MEETING.

This camp meeting commenced on Tues
day of last week, with indications of being
the largest ever held there. Notwithstand-
ing the very heavy rains, the tent owners
poured in with teams loaded with furniture
and other necessaries of camp life, and be-
fore Wednesday evening the tents, which
numbered, we understand, about ITO, were
all occupied.
This ground is admirably adapted for the
purpose, being a dry, gravelly elevation of
about fifteen or twenty acres, we'll wooded,
and furnished with an abundant supply Of
excellent water. The grounds have been
greatly improved, and steps are being made
to erect permanent shelters in place of
tents. Two cottages have already been
built by J. w. and Enoch Mccullough, of
Rowlandsville.
Owing to the inclemency of the weather
the attendance during last week was COM
paratively small. In the early morn on
Sunday the clouds overhanging the sky in
Dictated another stormy day, but before
o'clock they began to dispense, and by noon
it was clear and beautiful, and in short
time the grounds were thronged almost to
their utmost capacity with people and
teams which was perhaps the largest as
semblage ever congregated on this encamp-
ment. The number was estimated at five
or six thousand. An excursion train from
Baltimore with about five hundred persons
arrived at Port Deposit and were conveyed
to camp in hacks, on Sunday morning,
which considerably swelled the crowd.
The meeting was under the charge of
Rev. Charles Hill, of Port Deposit. Rev.
Drs Bartine, L. c. Matlack and George A.
Phebus, and Revs. John Hough, Presiding
Elder of Easton District; G. r. Kramer,
of Wilmington, Del, and A. W. Milby
tented on the ground. On Sunday morn
ing Rev. DR.. Bartine, of New Jersey,
preached powerful, heart searching, Cos
pei sermon from End Kings 5:14. DR.. l..
c. Matlack preached in the afternoon, and
Rev. John Hough at night. These services
were very largely attended
The weather was unfavorable through
out the meeting, there having been heavy
falls of rain nearly every day since the
commencement, which made it very dis
agreeable to attend. The camp closed yes
terday morning.

There are two strong reasons, if no
other, why the political control of the affairs
of this State should change hands. The first
one is, that we may have fair and just
system of taxation by taxing every descrip-
ton of property. The second one is that
the public schools may be keep open longer
than they are at present. This is matter
in which the people are deeply interested,
but they cannot hope for change while the
Democratic party is continued in power

Kansas and Denver Pacific and Union
Pacific roads connect at Cheyenne at the
foot of the Rocky Mountains. This Sum-

A Sad Accident.-The Wilmington CON-
nsercial of Saturday contains the following.
The husband of the injured lady was raised
near Rowlandsville, in this county, where
other members of the family now reside:
yesterday forenoon, as Mrs. Levi Todd,
whose home is near Fair Hill, Md, was on
her way to Wilmington market, driving
along the turnpike between Stanton and
Newport, her horse took fright at child
walking at the road side, carrying tub on
its head. Mrs. Todd called to the child to
put down the tub, but this only scared the
animal worse, which turned directly around,
upsetting the carriage with the unfortunate
lady underneath. The vehicle was badly
broken, and when she was released, she
was insensible her skull being fractured.
Her son who had been with her, was rid
ing at the time of the accident, with a
friend in a wagon ahead. Mrs. Todd was
conveyed to the residence of Edward Gran
ston, near by, and received every attention,
but little hope is entertained of her recov-
every. This morning she still remained
unconscious.
