PRAcTIcAL QsEsTToss.-The last ~
sue Of the Salisbury .adpertiser contains
9 well-wutten and timely article upon
Hold Times" showing among othes

between Producers and consumsrs. The

practically. There l. no question 1t IN
but that the times are sadly out ofjoint
in these respeets. The Hon. Thomas
:. Bsyardin apublic address delivered il
New York. sometime in 1876. concluded
his remarks upon the necessity Of reform
everywhere. IN national, State and mu.
nicipal sdsi.. BY saying. that the greatest
OF al the reforms necessary in this coun-
try was. that the mothers Of this nation
should teach their children at their
knees the old-fashioned virtues oftruth,
honesty and upright desliss. The con-
fessioa1 i . sad one. bat il is probably
trzs. that the greatest Of Ill our national
defects at this moment is a want of
sterling honesty. The trouble arises
largely from the defects in the training
Of our children alluded to BY the .adrer-
tiser and the sentimentalism of the pull
PIT and press. What the country needs
is work, honest work Of brain and mus
Gle. and the abandonment of the miser-
able shifts and dishonest subterfuges re-
sorted to by too many to obtain live
lihood, or to escape the payment Of
their just obligations. Verify, an INTEL
ligent. honest man, seeking by manly
effort to discharge his obligations to his
family and society, and the Intelligent,
virtuous and frugal house wife, caring
for the physical, mental and moral well
being Of the husband and children that
God has given her, are the noblest works
Of creation.

THE IMPENDING EUROPEAN War;
The imminence Of war between Russia
and Turkey and the probability OF its
sooner or later involving most OF the
Continental nations and even England
in armed conflict has already greatly ex-
cited the markets on this side of the

pected, that il is our cereals which will
be in the greatest and most constant de-
mand. The immediate effect of war
upon our tobacco is likely to be unfa.

The Supreme Court Of the United
States has delivered its opinion, affirm
ing the decree of the Supreme Court of
the District of Columbia in the case of
Corcoran & Stewart vs.. the Chesapeake
and Ohio Canal Company. The decree
thus affirmed was in favor of the canal
company, and the question involved and
decided is whether the coupons of the
preferred bonds Of the company bear in
terest from the time they became over
due As against the mortgages Of the State
Of Maryland. The decision is that they
do not bear interest as against said mort
cages. A contrary decision would have
placed a half million Of dellars additional
of indebtedness to what is already ahead
Of the State Of Maryland. and thus have
prolonged still further the receipt by the
State Of anything from this source. This
same point was decided in 1870 BY the
Court of Appeals Of Maryland, but Mr..
w. Corcoran, OF Washington, d. c.,
and Mr.. Stewart, of Richmond, Va,
who were large holders Of these bonds.
sought to get contrary decision from
the Supreme Coart of the United States,
but, as will be seen from the above,
failed IN their attempt.
A bill is before the Illinois Legislature
permitting cities of more than 100. 900
inhabitants to hold primary meetings for
the choice of candidates and conven-
tons under some such legal restraint as
is exercised over the voting places on
election day. II is similar in its pro-
visions to a law now in force in Califor-
MIA and which is said to work well. II
authorizes either or any political party
to issue through its committee q call
for an election Of delegates to conven-
tons, or Of nominees for Office. over
which election three judges shall be
designated, with power to exclude the
votes of all except those who voted with
the same party At the preceding cleo
ton. Fraudulent voting is to be pun
ishable ~ at regular elections, As is re-
peating. and also bribery. Something
of this kind may yet be found expedi-
ent.. and every attempt in the direction
- worthy Of careful study. But for the
present full attendance. particularly by
honest and intelligent voters. is the most
effective security for primary meetings.
