TEA circular has been addressed by Col.
Matthews to large number of ladies of the sew
eral districts of the county, urging them not only
to interest themselves but to excite as well an
equal interest in their friends and neghbors in the
annual fair Of agricultural society. This cali is
meant to be general. The board of managers
recognize that the influence of our women is
patent, and that it is their exhibits above all
others that give extent and attractiveness to our
fairs They are therefore urged to exert them
selves to make the annual display a notable one
by the size, variety and beauty of their displays.
These exhibits of the work Of their hands are
creditable to them and are justly the admiration
of thousands. They are capable of being widely
extended if the ladies will only determine each to
do her share as the president of the society calls
upon them to do, and the result of such action
will be collection of things beautiful and useful,
the equal Of which was never seen in this section
before.

The Second Congressional District.

IQ0 O0COQQ OOuSr0S5lOndl 0Aooi1SVs
The Baltimore Sun, in its issue of last Saturday,
gives some information on the approaching Con-
gressional campaign in this State. Abiding to
this district it says:
"Ths Second district, with its four Democratic
counties, is considered as too important to be made
needessly the battle ground for factions the pres
ent year. Mr.. Talbot has had bad luck at Wash
ington with the Cleveland administration, and he
has friends who want to prove to the world that
notwithstanding his failure he is not politically
dead at home. 1t looks as if they want to give
him Baltimore county in the Congressional contest
as vindication, but if he should fail to carry it he
would then be very near his political end. There
is an antiShaw element in Hartford, but it is more
than probable that when the time for the nomina-
ton comes along wisdom will dictate that it is not
prudent for Hartford and Carroll to get ct logger
heads. The Talbot wing in Baltimore county is
more likely to skirmish for position this year, so
as to be ready for the contest on the local ticket
next year, than it is to make serious contest to
nominate Mr. Talbot for Congress-"
To any one who knows little of Baltimore
county politics it is quite amusing to read such
stuff as the above If The Sun aims to give relia-
BILE information it should get some one to write its
articles on the subject who knows something about
the situation. One might as well read the Hagers-
town almanac to get at the real status of affairs
as to pin their faith to The Suns forecast. Any
school boy can give it more reliable "pointer"
than the above, and we would advise the writer
of it's "politicar' articles to come out and get
to the facts.

BEER AL THE COUNTY FAIR.

BALTIMORE COUNTY, August 18th, 1886.
Messrs. Editors MANY persons are awaiting
with deep interest the decision of the Agricultural
Society as to the granting of the privilege ~ of
selling beer at the fair, to be held at Timonium
in September. 1t is well known that great
amount of drunkenness always characterzes these
exhibitions, and many interested in the welfa of
the Society, as well as in that of individuals, are
earnestly DESTROYS that the Society will take such
action will free it utterly and always from the
charge of being particeps criminis in this matter.
The public cannot be expected to discriminate be-
tween a man intoxicated on spirituous liquors and
one besotted or brutalized by beer, nor can it be
expected to enjoy the society or presence of the
one more than that of the other therefore it
ly cannot be too much to expect that the Society
will arouse to its responsibility in this matter and
act accordingly. EorITY.

Senator German was in Baltimore last
Saturday and paid visit to the Custom House
for the first time in seventeen years. A repre-
sentative of The Sun interviewed the Senator who
is represented as saying, with reference to the
Second Congressional district that he proposed
to keep aloof from complications there and in the
other districts. He had plainly indicated that
Congressman Shaw should have the Endorsement
nomination usual to party customs. But he can
not presume to dictate where others do not agree
with him, nor to have differences with Democrats
who are his friends. He regretted the complica-
tons in that district"

Ms-T There seems to be very good prospect Of
serious trouble between the United States and
Mexico, all growing out of the foolishness of an
insignificant editor, who did not appear to have
sense enough to know that he was making very
large-sized ass of himself. But Uncle Sam must
maintain his dignity and enforce his laws even if
to do so involves the necessity of taking an army
down there and making it very warm for those
foolhardy people. 1t is hoped that they will learn
wisdom from experience and not bring on another
conflict between the U. S. Government and them
selves. The ultimate result of such a contest
could be easily foretold.
