THE Democratic organ in Washington has
been sounding Southern Democrats on the
matter of Tilden's denomination, and they
say they won't have him at any price. But
Tilden entertains different opinion and is
not man whom it is easy to defeat. When
1880 comes he will plead the statute of limita-
tions against the continuance of Southern
wrath

State Temperance Alliance.

1t is thought by very many of the most active
friends Of Temperance that the cause could be great
ly advanced in this State, by more judicious con-
centration of purpose and effort the part of the
various Temperance organizations, the Church and
the public generally, by association in State
ganizaton, similar in plan and scope to that Of the
Massachusetts State Temperance Alliance" which
organization has existed in that State for upwards of
twenty-five years, and embraces in active member
ship, members of all the various Temperance organ
izatons, as well as the Clergy and Church of almost
every denomination; receiving and disbursing from
fourteen to eighteen thousand dollars every year.

THE Rev. Joseph Cook prefaced his latest
Monday lecture with some comments on the
Eastern question in the course OF which he
said that the Bosphorus flows into the
Thames; that Russia is now outwitting Eng
land in one Of the boldest games ever played,
by which the possession of great outpost is
to be obtained; that if Russia drives out Mis-
sionaries as she did in lS4S then America
must be heard; that if Russia attacks British
India from the north and the bear and the
lion lock jaws, the bear will go back to his
icebergs defeated, and that if the American
eagle occupied crag to look down upon the
fight it would never have taken place. All this
may be very fine, but the concluding sentence
is as hard to understand as Mr.. Cooks phil
osophy.

Reasons Why All Should Use the
ReactiOnary Health Lift.

1t makes strong appeals to the common sense of
every man or woman in every walk OF life. 1t
furnishes an exercise which may and should be in
troduced into every house; which may be practiced
at all seasons in all kinds of weather. by persons of
both sexes, all ages, and degrees of strength OF
weakness, alone or in company. No one can say too
much in praise of it, and no one can afford to do
without it. All who investigate thoroughly, use it,
and consider it invaluable and Indispensable. 1t is
the SAFEST simplest, cheapest and most efficient
medicine ever discovered. No claim is set up for it
which is unscientifc or impracticable.
GeneEai.-It is the best of rest. 1t is perfectly
safe. No harm ever came from its use. 1t strains
to the affected parts. By its the health is easily
maintained. The purchase of Reactionary Litter
is the best kind of economy. The convenience of
having one in the house is very great.
Mind and Brain. 1t invigorates and
strengthens the brain, and renders it more active
and efficient in all its operations.
Steep.-It is the simplest and safest narcotic. 1t
is the most natural and probably the best means of
inducing sound and refreshing sleep.
Nerves-It is wonderful tonic to the whole
nervous system. 1t Is most efficaeiOus remedy in
paralysis, if taken in time.
Lungs, Throat and Voice.-It gives special
expansion and greater mobility to the chest; en-
larges the lungs; increases the volume of respira-
tion and brings the voice fully under control
As preventive and cure of lung diseases it has no
equal

than boating. and infinitely better than drugs in
majority of chronic diseases. 1t rounds and hardens
the muscles, and educates them into ever ready,
faithful and efficient servants of the will.

The Democratic House will do well to
cease its wrangling and attend to the commu-
nication which Secretary Sherman has semitic
it. he complains that it, dilatory policy con-
cerning duties aud taxes is seriouslyj interfer-
lngiwlth the revenues. Instead of repenting of
its sins of omission the House fell to wrang-
ling over the right of the Secretary to make
any communication to it. The opposition of
Carter Harrison, says Washington CORE
dent, has brought inte prominence principles
connected with the new project of permitting
members Of the Cabinet to have seats in Con-
gress and participation in the discussions. 1t
is plain that this proposition will not willing
ly be put into operation by this Congress or
any other. 1t is curious fact that several
members of the Cabinet who now favor the in-
novation, seeing how essential it is to have
an opportunity to explain publicly and defend
the measures of policy they now can only
recommend and then see shelved in some
committee room without attention or con-
sideration, were, when Senators, wholly in
different or openly hostile to the scheme.

THE RACE LAST SATURDAY.-Aboutt three
hundred persons were present mt the Fair
Grounds, last Saturday, to witness the race
between Mr.. John Payne's black gclding
Dayton" and Mr. r. r. Clayton's bay mare
"Crazy Jane" The judges were Messrs
Arthur Vosbury, Harry Lauder and George
F. Walker. Time-kcepcr, Col +. f. Cum
Minis.
The mare was the favorite from the first,
especially with the citizens of IIavre de
de Grace, a large number Of whom were in
attendance They were evidently proud of
their fast little mare, and were willing to
back her sped to any amount. Mr.. Payne's
horse was driven by II. r. Quinn, while Mr.
Clayton drove his mare himself, handling the
ribbons with the skill of an expert. Some
difficulty was experienced in getting q start,
but when the judg-7 gave the word, the
mare started like an arrow from a bow, and
made one of the best displays of genuine
trotting ever seen on the grounds. Her COM
petitor, although bearing the marks of many
well-contestcd race, developed surprising
amount of speed. He was not able to keep
up with the mare, but was not distanced.-
The race was won by Crazy Jane, in three
straight heats, in 245l 255 and 2.54. The
purse of $500 and the gate money were hand
ed over to Mr.. Clayton-and Havre de Grace
was happy.

TURNPIKE Toll DECIsIoN.-The Court
of Appeals have affirmed the decision of
Judge Pinkney, of the Baltimore City Court,
in the case of the Baltimore and Hartford
Turnpike Company vs. John W. Garrett
The question was upon the construction of
certain section of the company's charter,
which regulates the right to exact toll of
passengers who live on or adjacent to the road
and within three miles of any of the gates or
turnpikes.
The section reads thus: "That it shall
not be lawful for the said company to ask, de-
mand, or receive of or from any person or
persons living on or adjacent to the said
gates or turnpikes, any toll for passing the
said gate more than once in twenty-fou
hours"
Judge Alvey delivered the opinion of the
Court, which was to the effect that the turn
pike company is expressly forbidden to de-
mand of or receive from any person so sit
uated any toll for passing the gate more than
once in every twenty-four hours. The deci-
sion is of interest," being applicable to all turn
pike roads whose charters contain the same
language, as do nearly all in the State, it is
stated.

AN APPEAL TO BE TAKEN.-An appeal
will be taken from the decision of Judge
Walters, in the case of the County School
Commissioners vs. E. +. Johns Collector
The Judges decision requires Collectors of
taxes to pay one-fourth of the school taxes in
their hands for collection, to the School Com
missioners on the 10th of October, and an
equal amount upon certain other days de-
signated by law; and that interest shall be
paid upon the amounts in arrear after those
days. 1t is the opinion of Judge Waters
that Collectors can enforce the payment of
taxes as soon as the tax lists are placed in
their hands for collection, although an Act of
Assembly precludes them from charging in.
terest before the 1st of January. Thus they
may be compelled to enforce payment to
raise the school money by the 10th of Octo-
Der, or pay interest for nearly three months,
during which time they can not collect inter-
est from tax payers. Messrs. Farnandis and
Young, counsel for Mr.. Johns, have taken an
appeal and the case will go TO the Court of
Appeals for settlement.

FINE YIELDS OF WHEAT.-Nicholas
Watt, of Briar Ridge, near Kings Shops, in
MarshalPs district, raised $50 bushels of Fultz
wheat on 10 acres.
james Mcclure, living near Muddy Creek
Forks, York county, from acres of Fultz
wheat obtained the handsome yield of 1914
bushels, or nearly a bushels to the acre
-Messrs. Isaac w. Coale and Son, living
near Churchyille, raised upon 40 acres of land,
one-half of which was stalk ground, 1895
bushels of prime wheat, being an average of
about 80 bushels to the acre. One field was
estimated TO have yielded at least 40 bushels
to the acre.
Mr.. Thomas A. Hays, one of our most
enterprising and energetic young farmers, re-
siding near Churchville, this season cut 70
acres of wheat in st consecutive days, with a
Russell Peerless reaper 1t was threshed in
y hours by Nichols & Shepherd steam
thresher, the total yield being TIA bushels.
Some of the land turned out 80 and some new
land 10 bushels to the acre, the average yield
being III bushels. Numerous improvements
have been made in agricultural machinery
during the last few years, all of them tending
to lessen the labor Of the farmer aud the time
required to save crops, thus making the profits
of farming more certain.

ACCIDENT OR MURDER-WHICH last
Saturday night a colorcd man named Charles
Martin started from Brooks's Hotel, Delta, in
company with another colorcd man unknown
to any one there. Between eleven and twelve
o'clock, the same night, Martin called at the
house of DR.. VIM. 7, Montgomery, in West
Bangor, three miles from Delta, for whom he
had been working, and asked for coat, which
was given him. He was sober and declined
to receive the wages due him, saying his work
was not finished, and went off with some one,
supposed to be the companion with whom
he started from Delta. On Sunday evening,
about dark, his body, torn and mangled, with
hole in the back of his head, was found at
the bottom Of Humphrey Il Cos slate quarry,
near West Bangor. An inquest was held by

AYERS CATHARTIC PILLS are the best of all
purgatyes for family use. They are the product
of long, laborious, and successful chemical in

purgative Pill that medical science can devise.
Being purely vegetable no harm can arise from
their use. In intrinsic value and curative pow
ers no other Pills can be compared with them,
and every person, knowing their virtues, will
employ them, when needed. They keep the
system in perfect order, and maintain in healthy
action the whole machinery ofliic. Mild, search.
