also that special arrangement have been
made with public csnveyances for the
transportation of delegates at half price.
All temperance Associations, Chur-

send Delegates, one for every fifty OF
its members, Cor fractional part thereof, J

ton they represent.
Hon Neal Dow, author Of the Maine
Liquor Law, aud indeed. of the Prohib-
tory System of this country. and one OF
more Of the most distinguished ladies OF
the Women's Christian Temperance
Union, from abroad, and some of our
best talent at home, clerical and lay,
will take prominent part in the proceed
ings The celebrated Buell. Family
will render the music
Arrangements have also been made
for reduced boarding at Felphey's Tenn
perance Hotel, Cor. Howard and Sara

will probably be made with others
The Local Option and Temperance
movement seems not to be confined to
any particular locality, but is manifest
ing itself in great force all over the
country, in every State in the Union,
and it now appears as if the people are
preparing to accept the Hon Mr.. Blair s
proposed Amendment to the Constitution
of w. S. in the year 1890 on this sub
ject. See below what is said of Ala
4 bama
A most remarkable temperance move
ment has swept over the State of Ala
bama. and the legislature has passed
numerous bills prohibiting the sale OF
liquor within Ave miles Of churches and
schoolhouses in almost every county OF
the State Petitions we're presented tC
the Legislature for the passage of gen
eral Local Option law, so that every coun
| ty could settle the license question for it
self. The Legislature. being solidly Dem
ocratic, has evaded the adoption of such
law, fearing its effect upon future
elections. 1t is very probable that the
next contest in the State will be between
the liquor and anti-liquor men, instead
of Democrats and Republicans. The
people are thoroughly aroused on the
subject, and unless there is is a counter
revolution in popular opinion, prohibit
ton law as stringent as that of Maine
will be imparatiyely demanded at the
hands of the next legislature

The EASTERN SHORE PAPERS are get
ting warm over the alleged error in the
oyster law, whereby the catching Of
oysters is prohibited after the LIST in
stead of the 18th of April, as ought to
have been The lawyers seem to differ
about the validity of such law, and the
right of courts to go behind the engros-
sed copy, filed in the office of the Clerk
of the Court of Appeals and from
which the official publication is made
1t does appear from the journals of
the tive Houses that the act ought TO
read the 's15th'' of April, instead of the
FIRST as it does read. But when, where,
how and by whom the change was made
seems to be a mystery. One would sup
pose that the engrossing committee, to
each member of which was paid $3.50,
extra, for seeing that the bills were pro-
perly engrcssed, before being presented
to the Governor for approval, would
have attended to this matter and diseoy-
cred Just such errors But in this in
stance, at least, the well paid members
seem to have been elsewhere or other
wise "engrossed. -

IT Is STATED semi officially that the
Hon Arthur p German, IT, S. Sena-
tor. and also President Of the Chesapeake
ana ONO canal. win dooline ro-elec
tion to the latter position, at the expira-
ton of his present term, in June next.
1t is known to his friends that, it was
the wish and desire of Mr.. German to
have retired from this position last year,
and that he would have so, but for the
attempt made, through the instrument
tally of Judge Bonds Court, to place
the canal in the hands of Receiver The
bill filed in the United States Court al
legged gross mismanagement, and cor
rupt practices on the part of Mr. Cor
man, in the administration of the canal,
aud Mr.. Corman very properly and
commercially refused to resign, whilst
under the fire of these charges Now
that the charges have failed to be sub
stantiated, and the Court has by its decree
yindicated his management, he can afford
to retire, if he desires to do so But it
is our opinion that, it will be a very
long time before the canal will have at
its head man of such great admiuistra-
tive talents.
Gov Hamilton has made no secret of
his desire q, er..s s'e,s-s.>.4 ss4o canal, be
believing that if successful in so doing
he could revolutionize the politics of
Western Maryl6nd. Whether the re-
tirement of Mr.. German will promote
the wishes of the Governor remains to
be seen, and will depend entirely upon
the wishes of the former gentleman, as
the selection of President and Directors
of the canal depends entirely upon the
Board of Public Works, of which Comp
troller Heating and Treasurer Compton
constitute majority over Gov Hamil-
ton, and it is needless to mention the
fact that, the majority is entirely in ac-
cord with Mr. German.

Communications.


Mr.. Editor II see you have arrayed your
self on the side of the poor farmer in the in-
spection question, and hope you will push for
ward with your good work to a successful re-
| form or repeal Of the present oppressive law.
| So the tobacco buyers and comm. merchants
have regulated all the Inspection matters to
suit themselves. A resolution was passed 10y
them at their last meeting in Baltimore that
reclamatons should be paid out of the tobac-
co or warehouse fund Now | presume that
| fund is made and comes out OF the labor OF
| the poor man who produces the tobacco which
the State forces to pass into the hands of her
| Inspectors, without the consent OF the owners.
and thereby makes the fund spoken Of And
/ in that way il means that we shall pay out of
our labor or tobacco all damages for mistakes
made by political Inspectors, appointed by
the State to manage these warehouses They
also recommend a court of arbitration Of FIVE
or seven supervisors General 70 be select
ed, &c, to compromise disputes between In
spectors and buyers and the findings of said
court to come out Of the poor tobacco producer
He must suffer, he has TO pay for the mistakes
and demands Of all. | suppose il means sew
en- more officers to be appointed, with salaries
out of the tobacco fund. Is it so?
Ate the tobacco producers satisfied with
these arrangements? | think not If the
salaries of Inspectors were reduced TO ST. 200
per annum clerks prOportonately, and were
allowed to run the warehouses without regard
TO amy political party In the most economical
way OF procuring labor, &c; abolish the COM
pulsory feature, and if the State has TO make
the appointment, let it not be on account Of
political virtues Of the applicant but take the
plain practical farmer, who hats IA peculiar hit
ness for the position and would be perfectly
satisfied with and glad to OBTAIN 81, 200 a
year for his services; and then believe all the
expenses attending the system could be met
at 81 outage Living is as cheap now as it
was when the warehouses were being paid for.
and cannot see why, the Democratic party
will not correct this imposition on the tobac-
co producers. II is said in justification. for
all the present oversight and interest the State
takes 10 one staple, that tobacco producers,
taken as a class, lack the kH0wn capacities,
Necessary to get their ptoduet on the market. -
Now don't that sound queerl Ny impression
is that the trade will accommodate itself to

Causeur knows that he will deserve
and win the thanks Of all managing
editors if be can but impress these few
simple rules upon the minds Of those
Sho write for the press:
I. Write upon one side Of the sheet
only. Why? Because it is often ne
cessary to cut the pages into "takes"
for the compositors, and this cannot be
done when both sides are written upon.
II. Write clearly and distinctly, be-
ing particularly careful in the matter
of proper names, and words from foreign
languages. Why? Because you have
no right to ask either editor or compos-
itor to waste his time puzzling out the
results of your selhshness.
| III. Don't write in microscopic
hand. Whyf Because 'he compassion
has to reaiSt across his lease, at dis
lance of nearly two feet; also. becaus
the editor often wants to make addition,
and other changes.
w. Don't bsgin at the very top o.
the first page Why? Because if you
have written head for your article, the
editor will probably want to change it
and if you have not, which is the better
way, he must write one. Besides, he
wants room in which to write his in
structions to the printer as to the type
to be used, where and when the proof is
to be sent, etc.
V Never roll your manuscript. t.
Why? Because it maddens and exas-
peratcs every one who touches it editor,
compositor and proof reader
W. BE brief. Why Because peo-
pie don't read long stories The num-
Der of readers which any two articles
have is inversely proportional to the
square of their respective length This
is, half column article is read by four
times as many people as one double that
length
VII. Have the fear of the waste bas-
ket constantly and steadily before your
eyes. Why? Because it will save you
vast amount of useless labor. to say
nothing Of paper and postage.
VIII. Always write your full name
and address plainly at the end of your
letter. Why? Because it will otter
happen that the editor will want to com
nunicate with you, and because h,
needs to know the writer's name as a
guarantee of good faith If you use a
pseudo MIN or initials, write your own
name and address below it it will never
be dvulged.
TX. "These precepts in thy memo
ry keep and for fear you might forget
them cut them out and put them where
you can readily run through them when
tempted to spill innocent ink.
Causeur's word for it, those who heed
these rules will be beloved and favored
in every editorial sanctum.-B Boston
