Mr.. Jno. R. Bond has published a
lengthy letter in the Wing defining
his views on the liquor question
which concludes as follows:
81 trust may never again be called
on to vindicate myself before the PEG
pie; being of them and with them in
all things tending toward the better
ment of their conditions; anything that
will promote their happiness. improve
their we'll being or elevate them in the
scale of life has my warmest sympa.
thies."
Mr.. Bond is in favor of licensing
plenty of grog shops. Does he believe
this will promote the happiness, I'M
prove their well being and elevate
them in the scale of life?" This is
rather singular conclusion for well
Informed man to reach in this enlight-
ened age.

Not a Third Party Move.

We wish all nervous republicans to
distinctly understand the effort at pres
emf being made to bring out a sweep
ing majority vote for the amended To-
cal option law for this county, is en-
tirely Independent of the third party
agitation which is making considerable
stir in some other States. The same
effort would have been made by the
friends Of temperance had there been
no third party agitation in existence
any where. The democrats, too, have
no cause, whatever to entertain the
least alarm of threatened danger to
their party. The effort making by the
best people of Cecil to strengthen the
local option law and weed out its OBJ
jectionable features, has no party
claims upon it, but calls alike on all
men of all parties to join in giving
the law fair chance to prove the
merits which its frie nds claim for it.
No man or women desires whiskey to
be sold at his or her very door if they
can avoid it. They do not wish memb-
ers of their family or their neighbours
to be confronted by the temptations to
vice and ruin that every saloon holds
out. and they are called upon to unite
their efforts in establishing an amend
ed local option law, that the earnest
workers in the interest of sobriety and
good neighborhood, feel confident will
almost certainly drive rum from the
county, and make drinking more dis
reputable than it at present is. The
present law with all its faults, has
done much to set public opinion against
the whiskey evil, and with law
whose penalties will be punishment
to convicted violators, much greater
amount of good will be achieved.

Cider or Whiskey?

1t would strike the majority of our
good people with kind of paralytic
horror to hear of our farmers seriously
meditating using their corn crops to
distill whiskey from the grain. A
bushel of corn will make 4 gallons OF
whiskey, we have been Informed by
the mountain moonshiners who follow
the business. That would appear like
a very profitable way to dispose of a
corn CROP but who among our farmers
would urge this as a reason for voting
"for license?" 1t would be, however,
as valid reason for voting "for license
as a fear that the sale of cider might
be injured by the passage OF the
amended prohibition law.

Jno. f. Wilson Esq, who favored
"high license' at the time of the
Temperance Conventions were held
in Elkton, last winter, has published
q letter in the NeUs, in which his
views have so far changed that he
proposes to vote for the amended
Local Option Bill. Mr.. W. says {:
II regard the entire aspect of the
temperance question in Cecil chang
ed. Men are in earnest. Local Option
will mean something and be properly
enforced, backed by determined
sentiment. I never had a doubt
Local Option properly enforced was
better than high license, but as it
was then administered I did not
think SO, as always think sumpt-
uary law is better repealed than re.
main a dead letter on the statute
books And think nothing can be
fairer than the words of the Local
Option ADVOCATES. cry it two years
more and if it still be a failure we
will GO for high license"
Mr.. Wilson makes use of the term
''sumptuary law" conveying the idea
that he labors under the wrong i'm
preston, that a law which
classes liquor selling among
nuisances, and seeks to abate it
is somehow sumptuary law.
Webster defines s,@nptuary laaos such
as limit the expenses of people in
apparel, food, &C." The local option
and prohibatory liquor laws have
nothing of this feature about them
The whole aim and purpose of these
laws are to prevent the traffic in
these drinks which are dangerous, in
fact fatal. to the health, morals and
industry of the community. The
local option laws are no more allied
to sumptuary laws than law to pre-,
vent "opium joints" or nuisances
in town. The law does not debar
any man from drinking rum; it de-
clares the selling it to another a
criminal offense. Drink rum till it
kills, if you must, but don't sell it to
your neighbor and destroy him also.
No ''sumptuary'' in this, but rather
economic and hygienic. A whiskey
license law is a law to poison; there
is no doubt about this fact. Dwell
on this, and DISMISS the chimera of
''sumptuary laws"

second day. has proved highly salts

lie. The weather has been
remark ably fine, and the dis
play of attractions in the Grand Hall,
of every thing which makes up the
indor wealth of Fair was in va
riety and of superior quality. The
machinery department was not SO
we'll represented as it should have
been. Our enterprising townsmen
J.C. Bird & Sons had on exhibition
their superior sulky cultivators, and
there were no farm implements on the
ground more worthy the attention of
farmers than these improved corn
workers.
The display of Guernsey, Jersey
and Holstein Friesian cattle was
splendid; large herds of each being
on exhibition. The latter cattle are
not so familiar to our people as the
other two but are coming into favor
where ever introduced.
The Evergreen Stock Farm herd,
Henry W. Austin, proprietor, was
largely represented by the famous
white and black cattle which were
justly the admiration of lovers of
fine stock.
The swine pens were all full and
the hogs were remarkably fine, es-
pecially the Chester Whites.
The display Of fowls was very
large and the varieties numerous.
The cage birds came in for a great
deal of attention, and made quite an
interesting feature of the exhibition.
There was fine display Of potatoes,
also of apples and pears.
The "Grand Stand" end of the ex-
hibit was rather common place. The
nags appeared to be mostly of a sloao
grade. The exhibit of gambling tools
was entirely too large for the good
of the fair or the morals of the com.
munity.

The Cabinet in Council.

Mr.. Cleveland, according to B0skon
zraaeler correspondent, is fond of hav.
ing the members of his Cabinet dine
informally with him, and it is seldom
that his board hasn't one OF them dis
cussing the mysteries of his kitchen.
If one of the Cabinet members has
some particular matter of business
which he wishes to discuss with the
President, and desires time to go over
the whole case, it is customary for Mr..
Cleveland to invite him to 'drop
over to dinner and spend the evening"
In many of these after-dinner chats
some Of the most important acts of the
Administration are formulated for pre-.
sentation to the full Cabinet. AT the
Cabinet meetings the President sits at
the head of the table, and all matters
are taken up in order, beginning with
the secretary of state, who is recognized
as the chief of the Official advisers.
When subject is considered it is gen
orally opened with a reading of brief
by the minister having immediate juris-
diction over it. Then follows the usual
discussion, the secretary of state speak
ing first, and the President last. No
records of the proceedings of the Cab
met are kept, because as a body 1t is
entirely unknown to the law.

mated to the Priory fair last Saturday week,

for by twelve citizens at dollar each, who
each took their share away with them. 1t was

school boys, as is said to have been stated by
the said Hart.

were subscribers) cut it up and handed it,
under the lady's direction, to the remaining
contributors.

STILL BOSS.

Apparently the Spreckels influence
is still able to do its pleasure with the
Hawaiian Government, while the tax
payers of this country are made to pay
for the game. The way the trips of the
Oceanic Steamship Company are
timed leads to this view. 1t is taking
long time for the service to adapt
itself to the changed circumstances
produced by that Company engaging
to carry the mails between San Fran
cisco and the Colonies. A year has
elapsed since the regularly fortnightly
service between here and San Francisco
became deranged, so that the excuse
that it was caused by the new venture
Of the Company has become rusty.
Among a variety of violations of law
committed by the Government during
the last period, that of paying the
Company in question subsidies that
were never lawfully earned is conspicu-
Gus. No satisfaction, not even an ex-
PLANTATION, of that series of thefts from
the treasury, by the Government for the
benefit of foreign corporation, could
be obtained when it was repeatedly
sought by members of the Legislature
proceeding in the most regular and
respectful manner. First the Govern
ment gave an evasive and incomplete
answer to the request for information.
1t was coolly stated to the House by the
Minister of Finance, that he did not
know what was the tonnage of the
several steamers carrying the mails be-
tween December 1, 1885, and March
81, 1886. His return was thereupon
laid ON the table until the lacking in
formation should be supplied, but the
Minister never deigned to supply it.
Yet the facts given by him were suffici-
ent to convict the Government of hav-
ing paid the subsidies contrary to law.
Either similar unlawful payment OF
subsidies is going on now or the
Oceanic Steamship Company is waiv-
ing all claims thereto, for the conditions
of the grant are not fulfilled. Two
steamers going to the Coast within a
week, then not one for month, do not
constitute a fortnightly service. In
deed the present subsidy act says ex-
pressly that the trips shall not be less
than ten days apart. If, therefore, for
such a service as it is giving, the Com
pany is being paid three thousand dol
lars month, it is receiver of so
much money taken unlawfully from the
treasury. After Mr.. Aholo's patriotic
outburst in his last words before be-
coming a Minister, it should be ex,
pected that he, at least, would never
consent to such piece of public rob-
berry, for it is nothing else.
