the same tuneful mood. Their services should

liciied, and that the trip to be taken both ways
through the dust and heat was far from light or
pleasant.

RAIN.-0n last Friday night a refreshing rain
began to fall and continued until about 10 the
next day. On Sunday evening we had heavy
gust, which we believe was general throughout
the county, during which considerable water
fell. These rains have been of nestmablc value
in adding TO the comfort of ALL while their
value 10 the farmers is inestimable. While not
being, by any means, what is needed they have
served to clear away the dust, cool the atmos-
phcrc and refresh the growing vegetation It
will still partially save some of the late sweet
corn and toma toes

We would not in theory have given our
new Republican neighbor the credit of
either being unable to interpret the plain con-
struction of a sentence or else willfully mis-
representing to others the ground we took
with regard to u disturbance raised in this
precinct by four drunken men the day of
the Democratic primaries but we must call
upon the public to hold him responsible for
his own articles. Our readers will remem.
Der that twoweeks since we denied the right as
he had attempted to make the Democratic
party shoulderthe disorderly (which grew out
OF nothing politicsD of four men, simply be
couse the party was holding nominating
convention at the time and added the: "Perso-
naliticsare bad enough, but when an entire
peaceable community is attempted TO be lible-
led, in the interests of political faction we
think it time to hurl back the aspersion
Not satisfied with the injustice already
done, the 1imes in its last issue, speaks of
our attempt to impicate the entire" COM
munity in the disorderly acts referred to-
Now we have two much confidence i'm our
neighbours astuteness to excuse him on the
score Of ignorance and we can see no ether
ground for such gross Misrepresentation than
to mislead the public for political purposes.
We have noticed the editor of the Times has
heretotor" spoken of the lawless conduct of
number ofdrunken colored men on Saturday
nights. Now we have not the slightest doubt
that his party is counting on every one of
their votes, and we would like to ask him if
it would not, after his mode of reasoning, be
Just the proper thing for the Republican par
ty to shoulder the responsibility of such do
ings? We would only add n timely warning
i'll conclusion that he should turn his columns
to legitimate journalizing, for which we sup.
posed he came into our midst, before he and
his party should spceve on their own heads

THE CONDITION OF PRESIDENT GARFIELD
During the past week the condition of the
President has been very checkered, indeed
On Saturday last it seemed as though the
struggle was almost DER, and new complica-
ton arose of trouble with his lung, from
blood poisoning. During this week he has
somewhat improved, and on Wednesday sat
up for the first time in reclining chair in view
of the sea, which seemed to refresh him very
much. Life'sthread seems still strong enough
to hold against his many complications, and
it may be before our next perman ent i'm.
provement will be assured That he would
not be now living had he staid at the White
House seems to be generally conceded.

The SUCCESS PUMP.-It gives us pleasure to
call attention to the advantages of this pump,
now on exhibition at Reckord's Exchange
Place, Bel Air, and for sale by the firm. 1t is
double acting force and suction pump combin-
ed, having two cylinders and pistonrods en-
abling 1t to throw twice the amount of water of
any other pump with same sized cylinder. 1t
can be easily worked by Il woman or child and
by means of hose attached its value in extin-
gushing fire, or carrying water to distance
cannot be over-estimated. 1t is especially
adapted to the wants of towns and villages,
where fire engines have not been introduced,
and for watering the street or yard and flowers
While the bulk of the town has bod subjected
to the dust raised by the passing teams, Rcck-
ord's Exchange Place has had its street daily
sprinkled and cooled, while the adjoining yards
speak not less plainly of its efficient work.

AS an organ of the Democratic party, we
cannot allow the reflections cast by the Times
last week, upon the action of the Democratic
Executive Committee on the local option"
question to go unnoticed. In n long article,
after having apparently read the secrets ofthe
Democratic heart and found out its opposi-
ton to local option, the Times goes on to
show how the Republican party on two pre-
yious occasions had acted in favor of submits
sion. 1t is impossible for Il public to know
what goes on in the meeting of the Repub-
lican committee unless the proceedings are
made public, and that not one word has been
addressed to the public through the Republi-
can organ, the file of the Times will quickly
show. Further, nor has any official act in
favor of the question been communicated to
the Secretary of the Temperance Alliance, us
he is ready to prove. Now what does all
this mean? Is il lot that the Republican
party stands just where the Times tries TO
place the Democratic party; and that now,
having been forced into acquiescence, they
wish TO appear as having always been in
favor of the question? When did the Demo.
cratic party act on the question? Immedi.
atclv after having made its nominations WHY
did it wait until then? To keep the question
out ofpolitcs in making their nominations,
rs the Alliance itself wishes. When did the
Republicans act? Long after tie Democrats
and after they had made their nominations
The Times, in an editorial on the subject
summoned TO its aid all the ridcuc of the
editors pen at the resolutions ofthc Democrat
ic committee, and its own convention Dass
ed the same resolutions, with a Sight varia.
ton, which we will notice. While the Demo.
Gratis will consider their delegates pledged, if
majority of the whole vote cast at the cleo
ton is in favor ofsubmissiom the Republicans
consider majority of the votes cast on the
subject as instruction. What is the result of
the action of the Times? To drag the sub
jcct into politics, which the local option peo-
pie are violently opposed to. What is the
result of the committees resolution To con-
slider delegates instructed by less than ma
jorty of the people, which is contrary TO
bhS S'SiJ PiihNipiS vi ioChl ODtlOIl, tHdt Inc
popular 'oW shall be supreme on the subject
What would be the use ofsubmitting quest
ton to the people which they had already
declared against? The Local Option advo-
Gates have made and will continue to make
as eanest convass of the subject during this
campaign as is in their power, and it would
seem useless if majority should declare
against the question that they should be
given a chance to do the same thing year
hence. Would it not he well for the Times
to see that its own party Genes into tile field
with clean hands before il tries to wash those
cfothers? five have political questions which
need ventilation let the Times didecate its
columns to their discussion, but let it equally
take the beam out of its own eye before it
plucks the mote from its neighbours eye.
