as-The U. S. District Attorney at Boston has
brought suits against the Hon. George B. Loring
lately United States Commissioner of Agriculture
There are two suits, the first for $4,000, against
DIR. Loring as principal, and Mr.. John A. Loring
and Mr.. Thomas Saunders suretes. The
second suit is against George B. Loring individ-
ually, and is for 5000. The suits brought tc
recover $4,000, which, it is alleged, was misap-
piled by DR.. Loring to purposes not provided by
law, while he held the Office of Commissioner Of
Agriculture. 1t will be remembered that M
Loring bought large quantities of seeds of vari,
GUS kinds which were either worthless or of nc
practical value, paying, in some instances, large
prices for them.

Referring to ex-Boss Isaac, the Journ al
says: "Like every good Democrat in Baltimore
county he readily extends it (the JomnaI good
will, and he has shown that good will by acts, -
&c. Yes, we are willing to testify to this fact
The Boss has been liberal with his ~ "good
will" that he has thrown business that rightfulIy
belonged to others into the columns of the JournnE
But this sort of low trickery is about to be stop
ped and this is why the adipose is kicking SO
high just now. 1t does pinch him, we know, but
he will be obliged to grin and bear it. "Like
every good Democrat" says the adipose. Then
the inference is that every Democrat who does
not give the Journal his "good will' is not
"good Democrat" Well, if this is so there are
hundreds of "bad" Democrats in Baltimore county
to-day. How sad they must feel that they are
not permitted to bask in the smiles of the adipose
and drink in wisdom and virtue and pure De-
mocracy from the Journals overfowing fountain
But these are wise and self-respecting Democrats,
even if they are "bad." They do not extend
their "good wilI' to newspapers like the Journal
that make their columns the vehicle for dissent
mating the viest sort of stuff that would be almost
unfit for the columns of the most disreputable Of
the New York weeklies.

A TRIP TO HAGERSTOWN.

You'd enjoy trip to Hagerstown.
Messrs. Editors IF natures gifts abound to a
greater extent in section of our beautiful State
more than another, they have been bestowed in
that scope of country lying west from Westminster
and continuing through to the thrifty town of
Hagers, with the lofty Blue Ridge mountains,
adorned with natures variegated forests shining
forth with all the effect of panoramic beauty, and
which, as though in accord with the golden sun
above, were bowling gentle submission and sympa-

'To him, who, in the love of nature holds,
Communion with her visible forms, she speaks
A various language"
Fertility pervades the regions thus adorned and
many fourishing homesteads, situated as they are
in valley, on the mountain tops, protected, SEEM
ingly, by their lofty peaks, in fond embrace.
Upon arriving at "Summit," the highest point
en- route and l 800 feet above tide water, pleas
ing picture meets the gaze. Looking westward
and northward the thriving, beautifully situated
and busy town of Waynesboro' stands out to view,
and its commercial and manufacturing Importance
is linked as it were in no less degree with the ad
vantages bestowed by nature. 1t is here that the
celebrated Geiser and Prick Manufacturing Com
panies are situated and which are of so much
value and Importance to the commercial commu-
nifty.
Many sights of pleasing character to the ap-
preciative mind form and vanish as we are carried
down the mountain side from this point on to
Hagerstown, where, after three hours ofnteresting
travel and pleasure, we arrive. The State and
county fair held there this year was grand sue
cess-the whole community apparently on duty
bound, contributing to make it financially so, and
socially so for remembrance sake. The attend

The Baldwin house is the principal public stop

to keep hotel" Many Baltimore county patrons
had stopped here and were in town, among them
being Messrs. Joshua NJ. Matthews, E. W. Stiefel,
DIR. A. C. McCurdy and J. w. Lee. To the latter
gentleman, for a favorable report of trip to the
mountains, we refer, and would venture to say
that had the "crowd been willing" he would have
staid till Christmas. Only one pang wrung our
hearts-that of leaving "Josh" behind-but we
hope he'll come to (Lee)ward soon. G. P.

Hon. Joseph B. Foraker.
Hnrner'a Weekln.


Judge Joseph Benson Foraker, who has just
been elected Governor of the State of Ohio, was
born July 5, 1916, on farm in Highland county,
Ohio. On July IA, 1852, when only past his six
teenth birthday, he enlisted the first private in
Company A, Eighty ninth Ohio Infantry, and was
made orderly sergeant of the company for having
| secured the most recruits. He was promoted to
be First Lieutenant in February, 1854, and CON-
| manded his company at Mission Ridge. He was
Tith his regiment in the arduous and bloody cam
aide on the staff of Major-General Slocum, of New
York, during the march to the sea and the brief
and brilliant campaign from Savannah to the
Carolinas. He was mustered out, the last man in
his regiment, June IL, 1865 with the brevet rank
of Captain. He was not then quite twenty years
old. He Immediately resumed his studies, and so
well made up the time spent in the army that he
graduated with honors from the Cornell Univer-
sity in 1869, and was admitted to the bar in Gin
cinnati the fall of the same year. He was made
Chief Supervisor of Elections for the Southern
District of Ohio in 1876, with the full approval of
his political opponents.
In April, 1879, in his thirty-third year, he was
elected to the Superior Court bench of Cincinnati
for five years, but served only three, when he was
forced to resign by ill health. He had won golden
opinions, and was urged to take vacation of six
months to recuperate, but he refused. In 1888 he
was nominated for Governor by the Republican
party, but was defeated by Judge Hoadly, whom,
in his turn, he has just defeated. He is a very
effective speaker, and has the reputation of an up
right and able man.
