THE MIDLAND JOURNAL Mr.. L. E. Ew-
ing, editor and publisher of the Rising San
Cecil county, journal, has changed the name
of his paper to THE Maitland Journal. One
reason assigned for the change of uame is
that the business of Il paper cannot be en-
larged and extended while hampered by n
village name. The Journal has also been
changed to an eight.page form and is much
improved under its new management.

over James II. Cain, son of Patrick Cain, at
Bynum's station, near Bel Air, in1icting fatal

The Westminster AdcOcate calls attention
To the fact that at the recent primary cleo.
ton in Hartford $500 Democrats voted, and
contrasts this with tile further fact that DR..
Frank T. Shaw's majority, for Congress, last
fall was only592, whereas, it would seem that
it should have been over I 100. The logic
OF this is apparent! Either great many
Republicans voted at the recent primaries or
else large number of Democrats took no
interest in the election last fall. Some Re-
publcans, doubtless, voted at the Democratic
primaries, but we do not think the number
was considerable, the judges being impartial
men and every opportunity was afforded for
challenging votes. Therefore, it is plain to
be seen that -four Democratic brethren are
as much in earnest in supporting the ticket
of their party this fall as they were in secnr-
ing the nomination of particular friends, the
Democratic majority will be over thousand.
Every man who believes in Democratic prin-
ciples and voted at the late primaries, owes
it to himself and his party to go to the cleo
ton and vote the Democratic ticket.

A CARD.


ODESSA, DEL, August 4th, 1885.
We hereby thank the Farmers of Hartford and
Baltimore counties for the very liberal pa tronage
in the past. and we now have tho pleasure to an
nounce that by the improved process of manu-
tacture lately adopted at our works, are ena-
bed to give an enhanced value to our leading
brands of Fertilizers, as may be seen by compar-
ing last years analyses with those of the present
season, which will show an increased value of
from four to five dollars per ton.
Notwithstanding this decided enhancement of
value our prices will not be advanced, but eur
agents viii supply their customers at same prices
as heretofore, looking for compensation only to
the increased sales, confidently expected when
the facts above stated become known to discrm-
mating buyers

GESgGAL SHALER' friends are surprised.

There is not q lcss wstchtul community

debt and exact onerous taxes. They see
an unseemly scramble for offices to which
no salaries and no fees arc attached. They
know that the kind OF men who seek those

not suspect those men OF seeking to line

LONDON; Dec. S.-The Bulgarian govern
ment has sent another circular letter to
the Powers. Itpoints out that servia first
declared war, that after reverses Bulgarian
valor forced the Seryians to decree their
own errors; that despite the armistice
agreed TO the Seryians continued hostiIities
against Widdin, and that it was owing to
threats made by the Austrian minister at
Belgrade that Alexander agreed to an
armistics and invited the Servians to
appoint delegates to arrange matters. 1t
asks the Powers to appreciate that the
Bulgarians when victorious exercised
moderation. Meanwhile Bulgaria awaits
Servian proposals. Prince Alexander
gives assurance that he will not try to in
fuence the,Roumelans against the Porte's
delegates; that he asks the Powers to per-
suade the Porte to defer action until after
the conclusion Of peace with servia.

THE BUSINESS OF CONGRESS.
what Members Say About the Proposed Re-
vision Of the Rules.

WASHINGTON, D. O., Dec. S.-The in
coming members are eagerly sought for
information how they stand in regard to
the proposed revision of the House rules
and the distribution OF the duties now de.
volving upon the Committee Of Appro-
priations. Representative CutCheon, OF
Michigan, a Republican, to-day said that
the first proceeding on the meeting Of
Congress would bo a contest between those
who want to make this working session
and those who want to resist all legisla-
ton. The first thing TO do will be to
change the rules so as to unbind
the hands OF the House. He thinks
that the Military Committee should
have the Army appropriation bill; tho
PostoiliCe and Post Roads Committee the
Postal bill the Naval Affairs Committee
the Naval bill; the Foreign Affairs Com.
mittee tho Consular and Diplomatic bill,
and possibly the Pensions Committee the
Pension bill. He thinks they ought, hav-
ing the legislation under their respective
heads in charge, TO be better able to han
die these appropriation bills than the APP
preparations Committee does. Scarcely r
member who was not on the Conference
Committee knew what he was voting for
when the appropriation bills were pasted
last session. The Sundry Civil bill was
passed by numeral designations, and no
one knew anything about. This way OF
voting away money in the dark, he says,
is very Objectionable.
tttkN - Il
anything, be ssys, there will be some
chance for silver legislation. He believes
there has been a change OF feeling since
last spring, and moro members have been
convinced Of the danger Of continuing the
coinage of the Bland dollar.
Mr.. DoCkery, Of Missouri, a Democrat,
iavors revision OF the rules that would |
facilitate the business OF the House. What |
the revision will bs cannot be told. 1t is |
hardly likely that tho plan prepared by |
Mr.. Springer will be adopted in its Gu |
tirety, and how far the distribution OF the |
appropriation bills will be made is a prob
lem.
Mr.. Cannon, an Illinois Republican,
who is a member Of the Appropriations
Committee, said that he would oppose the
distribution, because it would only in
crease the evil that now exists. The fault
lies entirely with 1.-THE House in allowing
riders to 20 through on the bills. II other
had the bills they would use
them as vehicles Of legislation even to
greater extent than tho Appropriations
Committee does, and he.thinks the evil
would thus be intensified. The other
committees, he thinks, ought to be held
closely to their functions Of examining
into and recommending legislation, and
the Appropriations Committee should be
allowed TO- do nothing but handle appro-
priations. With riders excluded from the
appropriation bills he argues that the
greatest evil in the rules OF the House
would be corrected.

PHILLlPPoroLls, Dec. 3.-The Turkish
delegates have arrived in this city. A
meeting OF citizens was held, and the
Bishop urged them to repudiate the pro,
posal to restore status quo ante. The Rus.
sian agent was present and said that the
delegates had preceded European com.
mission, and that the Sultan's special
commissioner was coming to reorgahize
the organic statutes. lie warned his
hearers that il the commissioner was not
received Turkish troops would enter the
country, and that Russia would refuse as
sistance to the Roumelians. The meeting,
however, declined TO accept the commis-
sion or TO treat on the matter OF restoring
the Statue quo ante. The Russian agent
then withdrew from the meeting.
The meeting afterwards sent to the vari-
GUS foreign consuls a copy Of resolution
which in substance was as follows: That
the Turkish delegates be requested to post
pone the object Of their mission and de-
part for their homes; that the citizens OF
Philippopolis only acknowledge Sofia, the
capital OF Bulgaria, as the seat OF Govern
ment; that the army Of Roumelia and the
educated classes being absent at the seat
Of war, the citizens are unable to treat on
such IN important subject to the province,
and having sent 10000 men to the war
they cannot listen to proposal for the
restoration oil the status quo ante.
