Friday. May %. 1856.

The Treasury officers figure the rev
enue of the United States for 1887 at
1915 900 0o0, and deficiency of S24,-
100000. In order to create this def
cheney, millions are voted to be exc
pended in cleaning out the channels Of
creeks, and every body that was in
sight of battle field is voted pension.
The men who pull the wires and in
spire the unheard of waste of public
money, are the foreign and American
bond holders who are interested in
keeping the debt from being paid, as it
is one of tier prime sources Of revenue
All our national banks are based upon
the bonded debt of the Nation, and
they do not want it paid. The people
pay them and per cent in the way
of interest, and they deposit the bonds
with the Treasurer of the U. s. and
borrow 80 per cent of their face value
in notes from the government, on them
for which they pay no interest. This
is much more profitable than inves ting
money in greenbacks with which to
bank, and hence every effort is made
to increase public expenditures and lie.
crease payments on the debt. But peo-
pie do not study these questions, that
and waste precious time reading trash.

Newspaper Sop.

The Democrat of last week has a chap.
ter on ground hogs with a moral =,
which will apply to lots of other trash
that get to the notice of the reading pub
lie through the press, which is run
ming over with just such corner groc-
cry gossip. This morbid appetite is the
bane of the age. What precious hours
are spent in writing, printing and
reading such profitless jottings. The
public appetite for such trash literally
compels the newspaper makers to hunt
up and print it.
The Democrat calls halt to this slop
business, and we second the motion.
But the average editor has the weak
ness of the average belle who fears her
friends, some one of them will get an
extra frill, feather Or ribbon in her
dress which may wholly neutralize all
her own beauty and worth. That Py-
THAN club might have found rich
mine here to work.

We acknowledge the receipt of an
invitation to Grange Basket Pic
Mic. by the Baltimore County Grange

Past Lecturer of Montgomery County
Grange and DR.. NJ. G.. Ellzey former

Could they not get up such a demon
stration as the above and increase the
interest in Grange work? There
should be large and prosperous
grange with its Genre at Rising Sun.
A better neighhorhood could not be
found for planting grange in, and

Boring q w ell.

Mr.. Jethro T. McCullough's we'll,
which is pumped by a wind mill cav
ed in for the third time, on last week,
and he then determined to let the
old well go and have one bored and
tubed which would never caye in.
Willard and Edward Mcdowell,
who have we'll boring machinery,
commenced operations with their
boring apparatus on Saturday last
and have put down a three inch
hole. After strata of clay was
passed one of sand rock was struck
about II feet below the surface. At
a depth of l8 feet a strata of gravel
was entered. The drill reduces these
hard substances to fine particles
which are pumped out by the operat.
ion of the drill which. as it works its
way down, forces up, by a pumping
apparatus the debris released.
At depth Of AZ feet the boring
was stopped, depth of over 20 feet
of water raising in the tube. This
we'll will not cave in or be liable to
contamination by teaching from the
surface, which pollutes so many dug
wells, frequently spreading typhoid
fevers through whole families. Such
unexplained causes Of sickness and
death used to be termed '.visitations
of Providence" People, however,
have learned better having discover
ed that the source is filth from the
surface. These bored wells in the
main cost less than dug wells are in
every way cleaner and better. We
arprehend that ere long they will be
all the kind used and the Messrs.
Mcdowell will have as many orders
as they can fill.
