Legislature in both branches is
largely Democratic.
The Democrats carried Mary
land, Virginia, aud New Jersey.

readily take all the stock that il

The Prohibitionists.

ne fTOUtUlttUHIStS.
In the next presidential cleo
ton We are likely to have some
-four or Ave candidates in thu
field. The two great parties
the Democrats and Republicans
will have their nominees in the
fold. The Greenbackers may
be expected to put out . ticket
but they will stand no chance
of success. The fight will be
between the Democr to and Re.
publicans and one or the other
will win the prize.
There are indications that the
Prohibitionists encouraged by
the strength which their cause
has exhibited in recent elections
will nominate a candidate for
President. A movement of this
kind is already ON foot and a
Washington City dispatch to the
Houston Post, of recent date
has this to say in reference to it
Measures, about which moro
will be known in due time, are
in progress for making prohibit
ton an issue in the Presidential
election. Steps for a national
organization arc being taken,
the eaders in which refer to tho
early days in the anti-slayery
agitation for an understanding
of their methods and the
grounds of their ex ectations.
The contest in Congress last
winter ON the whiskey question
gave a crystallizing impulse to
the idea. Ever since the ad
journment persons have been
at work, not only preparing for
fighting the battle over again in
congress, put TOT an agitatloh
of tho question of prohibition
ON an extensive scale. The re-
suits III ONO and Iowa are re-
ierred to now, as the former one
IN Ohio, Kansas and other
States wore, to show the rate OF

The results of the elections
on last Tuesday in the North as
well as in the South demonstrate
the fact that the people have
lost confidence In the Republi-
can party and have made up
their minds that it must retro
from power, In the South IL
never has possessed the conf
dence of any large proportion
Of the intelligent citizens but ia
the North it was different
There the great mass ofthc eiu
Gated and wealthy classes ar
rayed themselves under its ban
ness aud have steadily stood by
1t in all Of It's trials aud troubles.
They sustained II whom it was
waging war against the South
and when the war was over and
our subjugation complete, they
favored harsh aud vindictive
measures against US. They were
the strongest supporters of the
Reconstruction asts and IL was
BY their influence that they were
passed and afterwards rigorous
" enforced.
The election last year and this
year show conclusively that q
great change has taken place in
tho minds Of vast numbers who
were heretofore bitterly hostile
to the South and the Democratic
party and that thcy are now will
ing to trust it. The feeling of
animosity growing out Of q long
end protractod controversy be-
tween the sections and q four
years war, is gradually growing
less, and it il to be hoped will
eventually pass away.
The fact Is now established
that the Republicans can NO
longer carry elections in the
North by alone appealing to
sectional prejadices aud pas
sions. The war issues are now
dead and buried and can never
be rssurrected. they have been
used with tremendous effect in
contests but they have

Shepherds English Grammar.

Prof. Shepherds elementary Grammar
published only two years since, by John
b. Pet L. Co., at No. ia West Baltimore
street, Baltimore, has met with so much favor,
and has accomplished so much for faithful
students, in so short a time, that the learned
author has been induced to prepare another
Grammar on a more extended plan; and the
same enterprizing publishers are now about to
issue this enlarged and more complete work
in the highest style of the art.
The writer of this saw so many points OF
peculiar merit in the Elementary, that he now
hesitates not to express the opinion that the
forth coming more complete work will, as 1t
certainly ought, very soon supersede all other
Grammars now in use, at least in this region.
We have no space here to present this new
Grammar's beneficial pecularities, showing
thus the innumerabe advantages OF its use.
Every wide-awake teacher and every earnest
student of the language, will prefer to give it
a careful personal examination; and, there
fore. the teacher as well as the learner is re-
specially advised to write at once to the pub
fishers, to inquire the price and obtain copy.

In Delaware there is no provision for ma
king legislative enactments known to the peo-
nle. The way the people discover fresh stat
utes is generally by violating them. VI course
as they cannot plead ignorance OF the law as
an excuse, they suffer the penalty, and pocket
the more or less painful experience as val
liable lesson. 1t is Il very proper question do
10 whether the government OF delaware Ut
any other government has Il moral right 10
nunish its citizens for the violation OF laws
which II does not place before the people III
such n manner that they may easily gam
knowledge of them. CheStert0rH transcript.
The same practice now obtains IN Mary
land. The last Legislature provided for the
publication of the important acts OF the ses-
sion and made an appropriation therefor, but
the Governor did not think it necessary for
the people TO know anything about them,
and neglected and refused to have them pub
Hshcd. The one in regard to estrays has al
ready cost the people many dollars because
they did not know of the change. There
was another law changed, in regard to legal
notices of administrators and executors, which
has not been observed in Cecil and some 9TH
er counties, and if the proceedings are con-
tested may entail Inconvenience and ex-
pense The people, however, many learn OF
the laws in time through the courts, through
the knowledge may cost them dearly.

Letter from Missouri.
ofthe Democratic Advocate.

MIDDLETowN, Mo-, May It'll, 1888.
MESSRS. EDIToRS Most of the farmers
are done planting corn, some of which is
coming up very badly, 50 much so that few
are e-drillng their fields, for fear that they
will not have Il sufficient stand; wheat and
oats are somewhat backward on account of
the dry season, as we had very little rain
during the month of April and the ground is
becoming dry and hard, but farmers say that
there was never better spring to put in
crops. The mode of farming here is quite
different from what it is in the east In SOW
ing oats we Just throw out the stalk row with
the seed pillow, SOW our oats and drag heavy
brush over the ground, and the work is done;
or, if you wish to SOW stubble ground, we SOW
our oats and pillow with a seed pillow as shallow
as we can, then run some kind of drag or
brush over it, and we are done for planting
corn we pillow the ground lay it off, and, if it
is very cloddy, take log about feet long
and about inches through, hitch horse to
it and follow the layerof, then drill following
the log. You may think this is slow, but it is
not as slow as you may think, for my neigh
Dor told me last week that he laid off and
planted six acres in one day himself, but did
not use log.
Peter Barnes may know how they drive
mules in Texas, but doubt if he knows how
they raise hogs in Ohio, so | will inform you,
and, as | am certain that he takes the ADyo-
CATE, he will, through it, learn the mode of
raising hogs in Ohio. A neighbor gives apig
to a next neighbours wife; neighbor No. 2's
husband, who is great lover of milk, object
ed to wife taking pig, as it would diminish
his supply of milk. So the wife put the pig
up in her loft, where it was kept unbeknown
to her husband, and it grew and waxed fat
until it weighed two hundred pounds or more.
Now this is big (pig) story, but it is just as
it was told to me.
As several Carroll countians speak of visit
ing Missouri soon, perhaps | can give them
some advice or make some suggestions that
may be of service to them, as the last one that
was here met with some trials and difficulties
in the way of clothes lines upsetting his beaver
and being helped over wood piles by large
ram. He said damn the line, but whether he
said damn the ram or ram the damn | am not
able to inform you. Others should take
warning and wear low-crown hats, and come
well padded for fear they may meet his ram
ship as they crawl over wood piles.

A correspondent writes us his experience
in using A. A. Guano and Zell EconomiZer
side by side on rye. The difference, he con-
cludes, is as three to one in favor of the latter.
The writer, no noubt, gives the experience
for the benefit of farmers who may desire to
know the value Of the various fertilizers as
crop producers. Our correspondent expe-
rience, we do not think, establishes the fact
that the Economizer is three times as value
able as the A. A. All fertilizers are different
in composition, and their effect depends very
much upon the needs of the soil. On an
other kind of soil the A. A. might produce
much better effects than the Economizer.
