Our roads are gradually drying, but neverlhe-
less they need great deal of repairing, especially
north of this place, on the Churchvilie road, one

Owing to the untavorable weather many of

We still have the canning fever in these parts.
We hope this contagious disease will not this

Rev. o. #. Burgess, the new pastor of Aber-
deem Southern Methodist Church, preached his
first sermon here last Sunday evening, to large
and attentive congregation. His discourse was
an eloquent and highly interesting one, both
animating and persuasive, founded on Proverbs
Sd chapter, 4th, 9th, 9th and 7h verses. 1t was
delivered in most effective style
At the close of the sermon Mr.. Burgess said
he was entirely stranger in this community,
but hoped the lack of acquaintance would soon
be obviated, and that he would be known as he
is ga plain, practical man." Mr.. Burgess had
necessarily been detained two weeks from his
| work here. The ladies of the congregation
have of late greatly improved the appearance of
the Southern Methodist parsonage by giving
it q thorough cleaning, and providing it with

Aceidenis-An Afflicted Family

Recently as Ben. w. York, who is employed
on Dr. A. s. Baldwin's lower farm, near here,
was loading stumps on ground sled one rolled
and struck him in the breast, breaking two of
his ribs.
Last Thursday as DR.. Gorsuch of this place,
was riding near Reckords Upper Mills, his
horse sank into II hole, caused by tie earth un-
derminng near Il stone wall, which threw the
Doctor to the ground his head striking against
a rock, cutting the flesh above his eye to the
bone.
Last week Ely, ten year old son of Robert
Monroe of Greenwood, Baltimore county, was
leading COW by the halter, when the chain got
wrapped around him by the animal running, and
be was dragged across pile of stone, tearing the
scalp loose.
The friends of Col. B. f. Taylor sympathize
with him and his wife in their great afIction,
caused by the death, last week, of his mother
and youngest child, and in the sickness of his
other two children, one of whom was lying very
low, bat it is hoped now out of danger.
George ii. Arthur, recently of the firm of

The Tariff Question =.

The practical adjustment of tariff duties is
difficult task, but tie principle animating
Mr.. Morrison and his supporters in Congrt IS
In demanding reduction ofdutes on imports
is plain and is appreciated, by the majority
ofthe people of this country. Every year
the United States treasury has surplus of
from $50,0O0,0OO to $1O00OO,OOO, after pay
ing all the expenses of running the vast and
complex machinery of government This
immense surplus represents proportonate
unnecessary increase of the cost of the neces-
saries of life and its luxuries as well. The
people demand that no more tax shall be
levied than is absolutely needed for an eco
nomcal administration of public affairs. On
this point Republicans and Democrats gener-
ally are agreed in theory. The point of diff
ference, however, is how that reduction shall
be made. One proposition is to abolish all
internal revenue taxes on whisky and to-
bacco, but such n measure finds few advo.
Gates. The Republicans, while protesting
the theory that the tax surplus should be re-
duced, oppose every effort made by the Dem
ocrats in that direction. The reason is
plain. Nearly all the protected industries,
the most of which are monopolies, are in the
hands of those who contribute largely TO
Republican campaign funds, and reduction
of the tariff would cheaper the articles made
by them and hence reduce their profits
Mr.. Morrison's bill, the discussion of which
began in Congress on Tuesday, commences
the work of reform by pairing down the enor-
nous subsidies granted to favored few I'M
der the specious name of protection.
The bill, it is said, limits the tariff to the
actual necessities of the government, and
endeavors to treat all industries alike
Hence the opposition to it on the part of
those benefited by a high tariff. The bill
may not pass, but the principle at the bottom
fit, namely, that the high tariff duties first
imposed to raise money during the war
should be now reduced, is one that appeals
directly and forcibly to the common sense
of all except those WHO have direct interest
in taxing the people for their own individual
benefit. 1t is plain that no farmer in the
land can be benefited by high tariff on
imported articles, for the reason that while
nothing which he produces is protected from
foreign competition, every thing he buys
costs him the tariff duties in addition to the
legitimate profit of the manufacturer.
The Democratic party can make no mis-
take in insisting that the tariff taxation,
which reaches every man, woman and child
in the country, shall be lightened If the
party can not succeed on this platform il can
not succeed on any.

About $50 RATS have already passed down the

Letter from Mr.. Tilden.

The Iroquois Club, of Chicago, gave
banquet, Tuesday night, at which letter
from Hon. Samuel J. Tilden was read Mr..
Tilden reviews the political situation, point
ing out the fact that under the Republican,
administration of the last twenty years, free
government is dying through false construc-
tions OF the Constitution and corrupt prac-
tees.
He referred to his election in 1876, when
the government COLLECTED military forces
around the Capitol, and by this and other
menaces intimidated the congressional rep
resentatives of majority of the people to re-
linquish the fruits of their victory and sur
render the government to the control of a
minority"
Mr.. Tilden's letter concludes as follows:
mo reform of administration ispossible so
long as the government is directed by party
which is under the dominion of false doc
trines and animated by enormous pecuniary
interests in the perpetuation of existing
abuses. The first efectual step in the reform
of our government must be n fundamental
change in the policy of its administration.
The work of reform will be difficult enough,
with the whole power OF the government ex-
erted in accomplishing it. have such faith
in the benignant Providence which has pre-
sided over the destiny of our country in every
great trial hitherto that do not despair of
our ultimate deliverance. Though can no
longer aspire to be one of the leaders in this
great work, bid those of you on whom this
august mission may fall God speed"
1t will be seen that Mr.. Tilden does not
positively decline to be a candidate for the
Presidency. This he could not do before
being nominated. Let him be nominated,
therefore, and the responsibility of declining
to run would rest on him alone. The Demo-
cratic party would then, at least, have dis
charged its duty and set the seal of its con-
demnation upon the fraud practiced in 1876,
although it might have to select another
candidate afterwards.

BALL ATTHE TOwNHALL.

Lent had scarcely expired before the dancing
portion of Bel Air, and such strangers as had been
invited. assembled IN the Town Hall on Monday,
April 18th. and cast off the rigor of self denial
and church discipline of the Lenten season, and
once more INDUCED in the beautiful and exhila-
rating motions of the graceful waltz. At8P. NJ.
the guests were expected to arrive, but as is
usual on such occasions it was long after nine
o'clock before the music commenced. and the
entire room, like vast automaton, wheeled into
motion, Every one seemed determined to make
up for the long interval since the Leap Year ball
on the night of January LIST. About | p. M. the
German commenced, in which nearly all partici-
pated and under efficient leadership was the
source of much pleasure. The committee, desir-
ing good music, procured a cornetist from Bati-
more, making quite an acquisition George Lyle
also had some new music and 1t was an agrcea-
BILE change from the old time-worn tunes he has
been playing for the German Club. Probably on no
occasion of the kind before in Bel Air have there
been so many strangers present. The unavoida-
Die absence OF some who usually attend was
much regretted, Cake was handed around
about IL o'clock, and dancing went on for two
more hours.
Among the strangers present were Misses
Amos, Hutchins, Caldwell, Strain, Mrs Charles
Young, of st. Louis. and Messrs. BARTLETT, Butler
Cochran, Hope Dr. Jones, j :. II. Preston, Warner,
Ofutt Bosley, James Young and many Others
1t was between two and three O'Clock before the
last of the party took their departure. +.
