Our object, however, is to say we
have not forgotten the days when
brother Tasker's thrilling ADVERTISE

red the popular heart, nor the genial
ways which made him prince among
statesmen. We do not overlook either
his success in the field of journalism,
especially if we have been in the
slightest way the occasion of his in

General Items.
Chairman.

THERE has been no business worthy
of note. The very low price Of an,
thracite coal are giving it the prefer
ence. The bituminous producers can
comfort themselves with the assur-
ance, however that these prices will
the more rapidly bring about a nor
NAL condition Of affairs, and that next
year their prospects will be much
more encouraging. la the Cumber-
land region, preparations are being
made to unlock the wealth of that
very rich district. The construction
of the Georges Creak & Cumberland
Railroad is now an assured fact, and
in conjunction with its control Of the
Pennsylvania Railroad IN MARYLAND,
three competing routes are offered
the producers, namely, the Che3a-
peako & Ohio Canal, the Baltimore
& Ohio Railroad, and the Pennsylva-
MIA Railroad. We shall review the
advantages Of theso increased trans
portation facilities az an early day,
having made q personal visit to the
region fer the purpose Of thoroughly
investigating its pgospocta.-Engi-

The controversy On the subject

THE controversy ca the subject Of
iron and steel rails is not ended
indeed, much of the controversy ar-
ises from the fact that there is a great
variety in quality IF both as there
is in the quality Of eggs. In pa
per recently read Fefore the New
York Academy of Sciences, the wri-
ter, Professor Thomas Egleston, point
ed out this fact, and showed why steel
and iroa rails are sometimes bad rep
resentatives of their respective class
es. He expressed the opinion that a
good iron rail, such as is made ior
the Reading Railroad Company, is
likely to prove batter than one Of
poor steel.

Recognizing the fact that the relation
ship existing between the Counties of
Maryland and the City of Baltimore is
such that residents of the Counties have
occasion to visit the City frequently dur

facts and the liberal patronage extended

matter Of justice that some discrimination
should be made in their favor I have
therefore concluded to

pears that the use of this valuable
drug in the South has become so
great that the people are beginning
to press their Representatives in
Congress to take some action looking
to reduction OF its cost. 1t is
claimed that the proposed repeal
does not involve the question of pro

to admit it free of duty would not
conflict with any home interests, SO
