The Anarchists Trial.

1t is no exaggeration to say that the

last issue referring to the distinguished
services of our representative, Hon. Barnes
Compton, says that Mr.. Compton's re-elec-

that upon the retirement of Mr.. Barbour,
of Virginia, from Congress, Mr.. Compton
will in all probability be appointed to the
important post of Chairman of tho COM

our able representative would do honor to

The 1rade, . journal devoted to the
canned goods interests of Maryland, com
menting on the visit of the tide water
Marylanders to the Connecticut oyster
planting grounds, urges the importance of
stopping the expectation OF seed oysters,
and says: "There are some of our county
farmers who think this does not concern
them q great deal; they therefore do not
object to their representatives in the Le-
gislature voting with the Eastern Shore
in the Assembly for what the latter may
desire in this regard. but if they stop to
think that the ruin of the oyster business
of Maryland means the ruin of the entire
canned goods business of Maryland, and
that this is about the only great CONNER
cial industry left to her Of the many she
once had, it may touch their pocket nerves
suficietly to make them question whether
the loss of this great combined business
will not leave them without q market for
their truck, and reduce the value of their
land to less than half. This may look like
overdrawing the case, but it is as certain
as night following the day that it is only
the advantage of steady work during the
winter on oysters which makes it possible
for Maryland packers to meet the prices of
the market. We are perfectly we'll aware
that the county packers believe they could
be benefited by the destruction of the
packing business of Baltimore city, but it
is as certainly fact that the business as
a rule will die out from the State when it
ceases in the city, as it is fact that it
never would have been great industry in
the counties had it not spread to them
from the city. We hazard nothing in say
ing that to take the seed oysters from the
State is to destroy its proper oyster bust
ness. This in turn will destroy the pack
ing business, and this will result in the
loss of the canning industry of the State,
and rob the agricultural population of
their greatest source of profit"

An admirer Of the Rev. DR.. Talmage re.
latss that the acrobatic Brooklyn divine
rises at four o'clock on Sunday mornings,
walks the floor and thinks out his sermon.
This must relate to the sermon Of the
week after next.
Dr.. Talmago's sermons, which appear
"hot from the wlres' on Monday morning,
are in the newspapers offices before he
delivers them. When he went abroad he
left behind stock ofscrmons 10 be cabled

We have even known II to happen, not
hundred miles from Wheeling, that the
Talmage sermon was served with The

fast four hours before II was delivered in
the Brooklyn Tabernacle. OF course there
is no serious objection to this in d rapid
age.
The Talmage sermons are well worth a
place in those newspapers that have room
for them, and they are very entertaining to
those readers who like them.

hundred feet above tide water, or l75 feet
higher than Oakland and IS feet higher
than Deer Park. Gregg knobb Is still
much higher, from which Jour States and
seven Csunties can be- seen:
Pres ton county alone is halfas large as
the State Of Delaware.
Some years since the nsmewas changed
by the persuasion OF a man from Maine
to Portland. About two years ago 1t was,
by aCclamati0n, changed to the more
significant name, Terra Alta, denotiug
altitude, The Baltimore 4 Ohio railroad
adopted the change and built an elegant
passenger and freight depot east Of the
former station, adjacent to the steam
Touring mill erected by Hon. j, P, Jones,
at an expense Of about $40 600.
