Political Outlook in the State.

The Belair Times of last week says
"There has never been a time in
many long and dreary years of ring
misrule when the outlook for the Re-
publican party in Maryland was so
bright with hope and promise. The
ranks OF the opposition are broken
and weakened by dissension, their
discipline destroyed and their pres
tlge dissipated by the open and Bit
ter personal warfare of their former
leaders, each claiming the lions place
in the division of the spoils wrung
from a long unwilling and now re-
bellious constituency. The voters of
Maryland have grown tired and as
named, as well as they may, of the
disgraceful plotting and counter-plot-
ting which have so long been the
chief distinguishing feature of Dem
ocratic politics in the State. What
is known already of the methods of
the "leaders' is enough to make
decent people, who loye clean goy-
eminent, hang their heads for the
shame that has been brought upon
them by these political debauchees.
This may seem strong term with
which to designate political opponents
but in this case it is not too strong.

A Corner in COrncobs,

"There is a corner in corncoha
somewhere" said a New York
wholesale dealer in pipes, "for tha
demands of manufacturers of corncoh
pipes cannot be met, even at advanc.
ed prices. There has never been such
a scarcity in the supply. The pipes
too, seem to be in greater demand
than ever. Many men won't smoke

society man who would be in dis.
grace, if he was seen in public with
a cornc0b pipe in his mouth, but who
keeps his pipe in his bed room, and
has quiet smoke before he goes to
bed. The man who invented the
process of hardening a cOrncob has
become independently rich. Some
corncob pipes are costly because of
their silver mounting, but the pipe
that sells for five cents is the most
popular. Smokers say that the corn
cob pipe is sWeeter than any other,

SWindled out Of $4,000.
Dom PEDRO.

MEYERSDALE, Pa, September u.
-"ReY. William Miller, Lutheran
clergyman, of UniontoWn, and Judge
Wilson, of Lancaster. late of the
Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, )"
sWindled Jacob Livengood out of
$4,000 at Salisbury, about six miles
from this place on Thursday. The
old gentleman was so affected by his
loss that he did not make the matter
known until last evening. Mr.. Liv-
engood is wealthy member of the
Dunkard church and lives on one of
his farms near Salisbury. He is about
eighty years old, and is known about
this county generally as "UTncle
Jacob" M. NJ. billiards Great
Pacific Equescurriculum" exhibited
in Salisbury on Thursday, and the
two swindlers seem to be its most
profitable attractions. The alleged
preacher made his acquaintance with
Mr.. Livengood, and took him to the
show to see marvellous curly-haired
horse which was supposed to be there.
Then he introduced the old farmer to
Judge Wilson," who said he was
prospective candidate for the United
States Senate and solicited Mr.. Liv-
engood'S support. The two took the
farmer into an annex and showed
him lottery game, which at once
struck the preacher as an improve
ment on the grab-bag. He proposed
that he and Mr.. Livengood should
rescue it from its sinful uses and
utilize it for the good of the church.
The judge vouched for the preacher
as man of substance, but the farmer
had no money with him. The preach
err drove him to Meyersdale, how
eyer, where he drew $1,000 of his
accumulations out of the bank. They
then drove back to the show ground,
and before they were long under the
canvas the old mans money was out
of his hands. Just how it went or
who got it he cannot explain, but
ayers that Rev. Mr.. Miller Wept bit
terly at his misfortune. Officers are
in pursuit of the show, and intend to
seize the whole concern, urly-haired
horse and all.

Reference was made a few days ago
IN the Sun to the action of the Exc
cutive Committee of the old Demo-
cratic city convention in sending
around printed circulars to city Of
ticials stating the amount each was
expected to give to aid in carrying on
the coming fall campaign, and of
objection being made thereto. The
main Objection was as to the author
lily OF the committee to make such
assessments, it being claimed that the
matter should be left to the new ex-
ecutive committee to be selected in
the fall; also that the assessments
amounting to about 2 per cent. were
too large. Mr.. Morris A. Thomas.
chairman of the executive committee,
and Mr.. John p. Poe, city counsellor,
were in the mayors Office when the
matter as to the authority of the COM

"As Maine Goes, so Goes the Union

This is an old political weather saw
that has been in vogue since the great
contest of 1910. Maine being a Sep
TENDER State-voting early in the
year-and preceding the great States
of New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio
and Indiana, was supposed to furn-
ish a gauge as to the set of the pOliti-
cal current, and to forecast coming
results in those great States. Gener-
ally speaking, she has proved a pref
ty accurate f0rerunner, although in
September, 1880, when the whole
country was looking to her for sign
as to the result for President, she
flickered, and gave Plaisted, the
Fusionist, who was badly beaten on
Monday, a majority of less than 200
out Of poll Of 147, 1888 votes. This
was an erratic and deceptive move
ment, which Indiana nobly counter
balanced and set Alright by her vote
in October. And now it seems that
the Pine Tree State has thoroughly
set herself right, and is back once
more at her old moorings as a safe
barometric September State. Yer
mont is also SeptemberState, but in
asmuch as she never votes but one
way, she is not taken as an indicator.
Maine is the true presager Of coming
events, She has put her stamp on
the verdict rendered by the State of
Arkansas, where the Republicans
made heavy gain the other day,
and shown to the country that at
both North and South the current of
public opinion is still decidedly with
the Republican party Wheeling IN

NEW FIEl ID FOR EXPLORERS.-I
Is extraordinary that some of that
love of adventure which can find
nothing nearer than the Arctic re-
gions to satisfy it should not employ
itself to investigating Alaska. Here
is great unknown territory belong
ing to the United States, which
stretches far enough north to cool the
ardor of most explorers, and can be
traversed in several directions for
I'OoO miles without coming to the end
OF it. There would be something very
practical, too, in one part of such an
exploration. In southeastern Alaska
there is undoubtedly much mineral
wealth, and thus to a shaking of the
thirst for adventure such an expedi-
ZION would add the prospect of really
being of use.-Nel0 York Sun.

1t is great mistake to suppose
that men can be made rich only by
making others correspondingly poor.
If one manages to make himself rich
by taking advantage ofhis neighbours
necessities, by giving scant wages,
and demanding excessive returns, or
by boarding up his gains and spend
ing nothing, he is an incumbrance to
the earth. But a man may keep his
wealth in such living contact with
society as to make it quicken the pub
lie pulse and increase the flow of gen.
eral prosperity.

New YORK, Sept. 12.-Mr. Walker,
statistician of the Produce Exchange,
says: "This, L think, will be the
greatest year for good crops ever
known in the United States. The re,
ports so far received from different
parts of the country show that there
will be a large crop of all the cereals,
especially corn, wheat and oats. The
latter crop is likely to prove largely
in excess ofanything heretofore heard
of. The prices are already falling and
business in the Exchange is dull. In
the Southern States the increase is
particularly noticeable. The north
west has also done well.
