Mr.. BlaiRe'S Future,

Augusta (Me.) Cor. Philadelphia Times.
What is his purpose after his book
il finished in the spring no one here is
advised. 1t is doubtful whether hp
has decided it himself. The manner
in which he is now acquiescfng in the
result brings him closer to the hearts
of the poor of this State, and there is
no place within tEeir gift he could
not have by indicating that he would
lake it. He can return to the Senate
or to the lower house within two
years if he ehOuses. And as he in
tends to remain in the public view it
is more than likely that he will ac-
cept "a seat In Congress after his liter
airy task has been completed. Either
Senator Hale or Congressman Mill
ken would retire tn give place to MIR.
Blaine if he should desire to return
| to the active duties Of the House OF
Senate. Small as the return, Hale
could become governor. Frye would
not yield unIe-s compelled to, and il
would keep Blaine buy to heat him
if he tried. There is a general feel
ing here that the matter can br ar.
ragged to accommodate all the states

After Election Wisdom.

The man who didn't bet on the
election is The most sOrrOWful chap
in the country. He firmly realized
three months ago how it would turn
out, and he meant to put at least n
hundred dollars in mt ney, six hats,
four canes, five boxes of cigars and
gloves enough to last him ten years.
For some reason he didn't do it. He
knew that delays We're dangerous
but he kept letting 60 to get Il
better hold, and tn" ballot boxes
closed without his having made n
wager. There was still time Tues

There is more real estnte for sale in
Garrett county than there is in any
county in the state. This fact is not
because the owners of land in this
county desire to sell out and locate
elsewhere, but rather because there is
great deal of timber and uncultiva-
ted lands owned by persons residing
beyond the limits of Maryland. These
pay faxes ars s66G dEeyP s seaF n%sfs}
they bring in no revenue in return
for the outlay, and hence the desire
to sell. We recall one nonresident
who owns some 10000 acres of land
in this county. and another who owns
about IA, 900 acres and host of Others
who own smaller tracts.
Many years ago when what is now
Garrett county was very sparsely
settled these lands were not in de-
mand and but little attention was
paid to them. Now, however. as the
county is filling up and being rapidly
developed, these lands are being look
ed after and are constantly and rap
idly increasing in value. The popu-
lation of Garrett county has doubled
itself in twelve years, and we know
of no place where there is a better
opportunity for men of small means,
especially to secure homes for them
selves at reasonable prices. Whilst
it may be to the advantage of the
owners of these large tracts to sell, it
is certainly to the interest of many
persons to buy, but in order that
sale may be effected it is necessary to
bring the seller and buyer together.
How can this be done? The question
may be answered in one word. AID.
vertise. But where shall they adver.
tise? In the local papers of course.
Any man who wants to buy land in
Garrett county would naturally look
to Carr EFT county papers for infOrma-
ton. The local paper not only cir
culates among the people in the cOun.
ty but goes to subscribers outside the
county, and may he found in all the
printing Offices of the state AS we'll as
in numerous offices in the large CITIES
of the country. Buyers will do well
to consult the columns OF THE RE-
PUBLICAN for information, and tho,e
desiring to sell cannot do better, we
think, than to Use these columns for
advertising.

Second Assistant Postmaster Gem
eraI Lyman. in his annual report just
submitted to the Postmaster. General,
SAYS that there were in operation ut
the close of the fiscal year ended
June 30th, 1884. ,729 star routes,
aggregaiing 226.779 miles, at cost
of S., $685. .573 railroad routes,
aggregating l17,160 miles, cost $l5,-
012,603. and III steamboat routes,
aggregating 1851 miles, cost, $780,
573. AT the close of the last fiscal
year more star route service was in
operation than indicated by an aver
age for the five next years preceding,
and was performed at diminished
cost.
The average cost per mile during
The earlier period was SIS cents per
mile against 6.19 per mile in 1883
AMI 1874. Mr.. Lyman devotes con-
siderable space to the question OF
railroad ratps-a question which he
says has been brfnre The public from
the beginning of the service. For 81
yeirS this great problem was passed
Over in blind and cropping way. and
it was not until 1873 that Il defined
and intelligent basis WAS prescribed
f,H gauging the compensation. EI"N-
enyears have elapsed since the adop-
tim of that basis. In this period
over so 900 miles of road have been
aided to the system; the amount OF
mail matter carried has increased in
sill greater rate, and the care, eff
cheney and accuracy with which the
mails are handled and distributed
have reached hpgree of excellence
approximating perfection. 1t is not
astonishing, therefore, he says, that
theinpthndS of compensation adopted
when the great work of distribution
in transit was in the experimental
stage are not adapted to the present
requirements of the public service.

Attention is called to the prospec-

column. The Sun is one of the best
dailies in the United States. Our
readers in Garrett county will re-
member that the SIN was the only

returns of the late election in this
county on the 5th of November. The
weekly Sun is one of the best family
papers in the State, and is only one

New YORK, Nov. 29.-The gpner-
al commercial situation Throughout
the United States as reported to
BrodstreetS in special kilograms from
impOrtant trade centres shows no
marked change, although there are
several reports of a more encouraging
nature than have been received for
long time. In New England the dry
goods market for staple cotton goods
is firmer, owing to the stiffness OF
print cloth manufactures aud the
we'll sustained advance in the price
of the same, three and One-eighth
cents less plus l percent per yard (the
lowest) to three and three sixteenths
cents plus percent. This has Great
ed a better feeling in several of the
more important distributing centres,
! but as yet the demand has not shown
any material increase. AT New York
the demand for dry goods is irregu-
lar, but the tone of the market is inn
proving with the gradual reduction
of surplus stocks. Prices of spot cot
ton are barely supported. The ex
IRENE view, that Northern spinners
are likely to encounter competition
from foreign buyers in the near fu-
ture, and that prices are thus likelv
to pc advanced. is met by the fac
that Liverpool is quite we'll supplied
