December, We this week commence sending out
our bills for subscription to the USIoS There arc
larger number Of these this year than ever be-
fore, owing to the fac, that our list Of subscribers
Is constantly increasing, and this entails much
extra labor In preparing the bills. We do no,
make q practice Of dunning our subscribers, and
We think We have = right TO remind them, at leas,

How IL was Done.

The Belair Tis'ss of last week makes the follow
ing explanation: "0ur friend of the Towsontown
uSIoS appears to have gone wool. gathering be-
cause Of the fact that Messrs Allen and liaker ran
ahead Of Mr.. Gorsuch in thi. county at the late
election. 1--WE cannot sec," says the USioS, chow
the unpopuiarity Of Mr.. Stump would necessarily
take votes from Gorsuch and give them % keat.
ing. Where Allen and Baker ran ahead
Of Gorsueh, keating ran ahead Of Stump In almost
= similar number of votes" Very naturally
Messrs. Allen and Baker, because Of their great
personal popularity, drew many Democratic votes,
while Ne. dassash rollea abe s:reag,h Of hi.
ticket. Thus, the Democrats who voted for Allen
and Baker voted for keaiing land probably the
remainder of the Democratic ticket, so that where
Allen and Baker ran ahead Of Gorsuch, Heating
ran ahead of stump" or. TO state II correct.
ly, stump ran behind Heating. This 10 such n
plain lesson In arithmetic that u Is singular our
intelligent contemporary should have become
muddled over Il. Say that 500 Democrats vote
for Mr.. Ailenj Mr.. Stump loses those 500 votes,
and 10 thus put 500 behind keating, or Heating
500 ahead of him.
"Iu this connection Il will be interesting To note
the gain made on our vote for Comptroller two
years ago, as showing the growth Of the Republi.
can party In Hartford, and At tho same time the
heartiness Of the support given Co Mr.. Gorsueh In
the late election. In 1879 the Republican vote on
Comptroller was l,s62; Mr.. Gorsuch's vote IL o.
$40, gain of 1s1 votes. In 1879 Keating's ma
jority In the county was SO; this year Il 10 go
This, too, despite the fact that Mr.. Heating 10
personally known and liked here, having married
IN this immediate neighborhOod, where many Of
has family connections still reside. There u no
county 10 tbs Stale whose support should be per-
sonally more gratifying TO Mr.. Gorsueh, and that
gentleman doubtless appreciates this fact"

E1rh 10 stated that new railroads are being
constructed so rapidly tha, the locomotive works
OF the country are not able to keep up with the
orders upon them, and, as a consequence, the
price Of the engines has advanced considerably.
Engines which sold for 5000 two years ago
readily command 5000 now, and IL 4. said tha,
secondhand locomotives command more than
their original cost. One Of the large locomotive
manufactures gives 1920 as the total number Of
railroad engines nov in this country. or this
number New England has I,1OO, Massaehusetts
leading with 96s. The Middle States have 1000,
Pennsylvania leading with the Ownership Of Zoo
railroad motors, New York coming next with 2.
900. The Western States own 500, Illinois lead.
ing with 200. The Southern States own $500
locomotives, 0eorgia leading that section with 3os
Virginia second with 800. The Pacific States
have 40. Of which $50 belong TO California
Florida has only Is railroad engines, as railroad
building has only fairly commenced In tha, State.
The capacity of all the locomotive works in the
United States, IL run night and day, would be
only 2,30O per year.

Labor on the Farm.

As the labor problem Is one Of the most difficult
that the farmer has to deal with, the plan. of tho
farm should be arranged with reference TO IL, so
that the greatest economy, consistent with eiccn-
ey, can be practieed Tho order Of the crops In
rotation, aud the system Of feeding and care Of the
live stock, will determine, TO n great extent, the
Importance Of distribution of labor. This u ono
of the great advantages of a mixed husbandry,
that cannot be so readily practiecd in an exclusive
system Of special culture. II would be desirable,
under favorable conditions, TO arrange the details
