WHAT WE NEED.-The Peninsular Neaos in
its last issue instead of advocating the
fraudulent silver dollar as standard Of
value, more wisely considers the "condi.
ton of things" and comes to the conclu.
sion that it is not so much more money
wanted, rs is a remunerative market for
the plethora of over production and says
the true remedy for the hard times" is a
larger demand for the products of the in.
dustries of the country. For this we must
look to other nations who are not glutted
with the products of skilled industry and
machinery. We have rapidly grown, under
the stimulus of protection and the war, to
be large producers of manufactured goods,
and have suddenly become like the old
countries of Europe, prepared to produce
four times as much as we can consume
What we do want is the facilities for trans
porting our manufactured goods to all parts
OF the world, that Great Britain and France
have. Then we are ready to compete with
them for the trade of the world but they
have wisely subsidized and fostered mum.
erous steamship lines TO all the chief ports
of the world for the very purpose Of giving
to. their manufacturers and merchants the
best and quickest facilities for getting their
goods into foreign markets. These facilities
we have not, and this is what we lack.

SENATOR SAULsBURY's BIG LoAD.-Senator
salisbury has gone over to the silver infa.
tionists and voted last week for Stanley
Matthews silver resolution, which SAYS
that paying bond with silver worth only
about ninety cents in the dollar is no "dero-
gatien of the rights of the public creditor .
Mr. Salisbury is creditor to the Govern.
ment to the amount Of his salary as u. s.
Senator, $4,000. If he wants to make other
people take this currency, of course, as am
honest man, he will not be adverse to re.
ceiying it himself. As compared with gold
he would only have about $45OO. Now
having got his 5000 silver dollars, lets see
what he will do with it, If in gold or its
representative in value, greenbacks, he
could put it in his pockets and walk off
with 1t, but how about his silver? Each
dollar weighs an ounce and thus he would
have as his load to carry from the u. s.
Treasury, 3l24 pounds voirdupoise-more
than double his own weight. Senator
Eatons of Connecticut said man would
have to keepa jackass TO carry his money
sor him, and we do not see how Mr.. sauls.
oary Is 10 get homo with his salary without
sesne such help.

THE SILVER BILL PAssED.-The Stanley
Matthews resolution has passed both
Houses of Congress-the Senate last week
by vote of 43 for to % against, and the
House, Monday by vote of lS9 to 70 and
it now awaits the action of the President,
and it is possible that the measure could
be passed over a veto by two-thirds vote.
Should it after all become law, the result
may bring another crises of unsettled
values, and keep the country disturbed for
years, whereas the Resumption Act would
take effect in less than a year and we be
on the solid foundation of England, France,
Germany and other leading nations.
Senator Bayard and Congressman Will
liams of this State voted against it, and
Senator Salisbury for it.

The MoFFETT BELL-PUNCH.- Much is being
said in the papers, especially the Southern,
about the Moffett bell punch for registering
drinks, and its introduction is now being
considered by the Legislatures of Maryland.
South Carolina, Mississippi, Louisiana and
Tennessee.
The measure was introduced in the Legis-
lature of Virginia by the man whose name
1t bears, some two or more years ago as a
revenue measure. The use of the punch
has proven a great source Of revenue in
Virginia, where the tax is p cents on each
glass of distilled spirits and ! cent on each
glass of malt liquor. 1t is likely to be
adopted by the three last States above
named, and an effort is also being made to
adopt it in Maryland, but a very strong
effort is being made in this State to have
the present Legislature adopt Local
Option as a State measure. The present
temperance feeling is such that some
measure of amelioration will have to be
adopted.

The project for railroad from Middle.

mittee was also appointed to ask the Legis.
ture for the transfer Of the SIS, 900 that was
assigned by the State to the Elkton e.
Massey's railroad in 1860, but which pro.
ject has been abandoned and the money
not used. This money is part of the
$l,0O0,0 0O0subscribed byMaryland to Eastern
Shore railroads in 1860, all of which has
been used except the portion assigned to
the Elkton and Massey's project The new
road will be thirteen miles in length. and
is estimated to cost from $l50,OO0 to $l75,.
OOO As an earnest of their desire for the
success of the project those of the commits
sioners present, each subscribed 1000 to

A HEAVY FLING AT THE New EASTERN
SHORE SENAToR.-The Philadelphia Recoro
made some comments on the selection oi
Jas. B. Groome, which the Eastern Shoren,an
resented with some sarcasm. The RecorQ
in response thus "goes for" the Senator
and the Shoreman:
The Salisbury Eastern .SLorcman isnot well
pleased with the Records remarks respect.
ing Marland's new Senator, Mr.. Groome.
That journal appears to be offended because
we intimated that Webster was Groome's
superior and attempts to get revenge hy
making mouths at Don Cameron, for
whom it evidently has no ardent
admiration. We have no disposition to
quarrel with our spunky contemporary ol
the herring and harry-butter country, but
we take the liberty to believe that Senator
Cameron is an abler man than Senator. elect
Groone. AS an Eastern Shoreman Mr..
Groome is well enough; but though fish is
good food for the brain, no man raised on
herring and corn bread can be the equal of
Scotch-blooded Pennsylvania, raised on
beef and bread made of wheat. As to
honesty Mr.. Groome may be all that the
Salisbury paper represents, but then our
country contemporary ought to reflect that
there Is nothing to steal on the Eastern
Shore of Maryland, and Mr.. Groome's
habits of honesty have been enforced by
circumstances over which he has had no
control. Wait till he gets to Washington
and is subjected to a crucial test If, at the
end Of his Senatorial term, his hands are
clean, it will then be time enough to boast
OF his honesty, and we shall then accord to
our herring-bone exchange the full right to
glorify Groome as the equal of Daniel Web.
ster, in, at least, one important respect
but in the meantime we must repeat what
We said in the article which the Eastern
HtOreman copies, "that Mr.. Groome, the
new Senator from Maryland, is not a
Webster, nor likely to become one. He is
a man of moderate ability and greaAluck. i"

IN Lippincou's Magazine, the presentation
OF wellwritten, well-illustrated articles on
foreign countries has been a decided
specially from the first. A proof of this is
to be found in the February number, Just
published. There are several such articles,
viz: The conclusion of "a Month of Sicily"
by Alfred T. Bacon; the beginning of
"Glimpses Of Sweden" by James A. Har-
rison, and the first part of "With the Rus
slams in Bulgaria." by Edward King
There is also " A "Reminiscences of the First
Iron-clad Fight" in which the Nerrimac
converted into an iron-clad, made terrible
havoc among the Federal vessels, and was
herself placed hors de combat by the little
Monitor, then a novelty in naval warefare.
This remarkable and brilliant episode is
narrated in a spirited manner. A paper
here on Hunting in France" by L.
Lejeune, contains some racy anecdotes.
There are other articles with editorials, &C.,
making this periodical of excellent read
