On Friday last the bill reducing the cost
Of publishing the laws in the newspapers
came mp in the Senate, Senator Allen is re-
ported ms saying in the course of the debate:
zone thing has been overlooked in this
matter. The newspapers are pad to publish
The laws but they don't do so--at least moi
in Hartford. There is II fat press in Annapolis
which prints slips headed Supplement- tor
$50 or 800 and sends them to the county
pupers."
Senator Allen does not appear 10 rccOg-
nize any distinction between printing and
publishing. Publishers do not charge for
lypc'setting in nm advertisement, but for the
space occupied whether it be filed with
small type or by few display lines To
avoid curailing space set apart for reading
matter advertisements are frequently printed
printed on sheets separate from the paper
These are folded and sent with tie main sheet
make to him or to any other taxpayer whcth
er these laws are printed in the body of the
paper or in the more convenient form of a
supplement? Or what difference could it pos
sibly make if these supplements are printed in
Bel Air or in Baltimore? The law authorizing
the publication is complied with when they
they are sent to each subscriber.
1t is simply an economical business trans
action, with which Senator Allen should find
II, fault.
The propricty of speedily publishing the
laws which take effect Immediately upon their
passage is unduestionable, and these are the
only laws published by newspapers. Indeed,
as Senator Nanderford showed in the debate
last Friday, the Constitution and the Bill of
Rights almost require their publication broad
cast over the State.

Scarboro, well known and prominent citizen,

pain in the small of his back. His nephew, DR..
Geo. w. Andrews, was sent for, and DR.. w.
Stump Forwood called in consultation. 1t was
determined that Mr.. Scarboro was suffering with
myelitis, an intiammatory degeneration Of the
spinal cord. The physicians succeeded in reliev-
ing the pain, but deirium set in, with loss of
appetite, which continued until death released
him from his sufferings. Mr.. Scarboro was an
upright, honorable man, good citizen, kind
neighbor, and one of the best farmers in the

jail for stealing horse belonging to Rev A. j
Barrow, of Upper Falls, Baltimore county, had
made two previous attempts to escape. Being
placed in a cell with Steinman, who was charged
with sodomy, they managed to pick the lock OF
their cell by means of a piece of wire broken
from the handle of their cell bucket. They con.
cealed themselves in the lower hall, and when
water was carried to the prisoners the next
morning they walked out. Stenman crossed
Conowlngo Bridge the same day Ferguson is
reported to have been seen at his home near

New FERTILIZER LAW WANTED Messrs
John Moores and Thomas A. Hays, repre-
senting the Deer Creek Farmers Club of this
county, were in Annapolis last week, urging
the passage of more efficient law than the
one now on the statute books to protect
farmers in buying fertilizers. Some Difficult
ties are apparent in securing State law, and
it is probable that county law is all that
will be asked for. 1t is proposed to impose
a small tax upon each manufacturer selling
fertilizers in the county, the proceeds of
which will be used in paying for an analysis
where the value of an article sold is disputed.
The surplus fund at the close of EACH year is
to go to the county commissioned, for the
hen, fit of the public roads.
Mr. Kirkland has obtained in the House
leave for bills to abolish the offices of State
grain weighers and to lerse the State hay
scales for four years. Farmers who haul
hay to Baltimore will be opposed to change
that might place the hay scales in the hands
ofpersons directly interested as purchasers.
What is needed is reduction of the charge
for weighing hay to three fourhs of n cent
