A, REFLECTION. When ye local cdi-
tor reflects and takes q retrospective
glance, all the while remembering how
people say, tornn q local column is
simply JWn, he is forced 10 give few
reflections on the ordinary "local's"
life. AT least three mornings Of the
week he awakos with his mind Won
dering whether any ones hen roost has
been raided, whether the population Of
our town has been increased during
the night, if another presiding elder
has been in the hands of the. law, if
there has been any knock -down-and-
drag out fights, if some MANS son has
run away with another mans daught-
eis, if another county convention will
-ilSol be, he, call ed. aud in short. be won
ders where that next local column will
us niicu from. While lie wonders If
any of.these things have happened he
is compelled to risk chances that nine.
tenths of his subscribers will say,
"givo us something new, we heard all
these things a day ago." Even before
these thoughts have been fully devel-
oped he hears g cry for "local'. The
odds are against any Of the events hap
pening during the night, and still the
column must be filled. Now, we do
sometimes lay claim to being news
gathcrer, but when our citizens fail to
perform their portion of their contract
in regard thereto, we should not be
forced to draw on what some call our.
fertile imagination.

the following speech upon which he
was highly complimented:

tho shadowy years of her earliest his

others who were the peers in war and

in whom she could put her trust, as
pure and as spotless as any In her

Soldiers to the Front!

Harrison is an army man and the
old soldiers expect-aud reasonably
expect-to come to the front. Those
old veterans should receive every
nollar in the way of salary for Of.
fetal seryice that it is in the power
of the government to give, and no
office should be filed by civilian
while soldier who is competent to
fill the Office, remains unserved. The
nation can never pay the debt it owes
to these men who while in their
prime, took their lives in their hands
and went out from comfortable homes
to save the country from disunion
followed by dissolution. The sur.
vivors of that conflict have struggled
on to the present day. year by year
their ranks depleted by death, till
the remaining-comparatiyely few of
the million who went out in their
youth and vigor-now fast becoming
old men, ask the government to re.
member them first in its distribution
of offices. The claims of these vet
Grams, many of them shattered bv
the enemy's shot and shell, imping
on the downward path toward the
tomb, should be satisfied before all
others. No busy, lound talking pol.
itician should be admitted till the
last of these veterans has been
served. Beat the long roll and fall
in old soldiers. Demand your.rights,
and one of your number who will
soon stand at the head will surely
hear the call of his old comrads
You will be too feeble four years
hence, to make your power felt anG
your rights admitted. Your last
best chance is moU.

An Explanation

What is this nervous trouble" with
which SO many seem now to be afflicted? If
you will remember few years ago the
word Malaria was comparatively unknown.
to-day 1t is as common as any word in thu
English language, yet this word covers only
the meaning of another word used by our
fore fathers in times past. So it is with
nervous diseases, as they and Malaria are
intended to cover what our grandfathers
called Biliousness, and all are caused by
troubles that arise from diseased condition
OF the Liver which in performing its fnnc-
tions finding il cannot dispose of the bile
through the ordinary channel is compelled
to pass it off through the system, causing
nervous troubles, Malaria, Bilious Fever,
etc. You who are suffering can we'll APP
preclate cure. We recommend Green's
August Flower. It's cures are marvellous.

Another Young Murder In Elk Jail
Two colored men are now confined
in Elkton Jail awaiting trial for muir.
der. Asbury Cole, the slayer OF
Samuel Young, young colored man
of Cecilton in August last, has been
Joined by another man accused of
murder who also bears the name of
Samuel Young, and is said to be an
uncle of the victim of Cole. The
Samuel Young confined is an elderly
man, and was taken to the Jail on
Saturday afternoon by Constable G..
K. McQuirk. He had killed his SON
in-law George Warren that day and
given himself into custody. The
shooting occurred at White Banks,
a fishery on the North East river
about 10 miles from North East. A
quarrel occurred between the men
about two dogs, and Warren beat his
father in law. AS is usual in such
cases one of the parties had been
drinking whiskey which he procured
at Havre de Grace. Warren left the
house after the fight, but soon return
ed when the father-in law met him
at the door with a gun and fired,
killing Warren instantly.

Some of the Fruits of Government
Land Grants.

Judge Brewer of the Supreme
Court of the State of Kansas has de-
cided in the Allen county case, in
which certain alternate sections of
land granted by the Government to
the Missouri and Kansas and Texas
Railway were claimed by the settlers
thereon, that the land in question
legally belongs to the railroad com.
pany. The settlers will, therefore,
be compelledito give possession. The
land embraces large amount of the
most fertile farming lands in the
county. About 5000 settlers are
thus thrown out of their homes
Many of them have occupied the land
for 10 or Is years, and have made
extensive improvements.

Another Nail in King Alcohol's
Coffin.

Hartford county at the recent cleo,
ton took vote on a prohibition
law similar to the Cecil law, and car.
ried it by 1907 majority every dis
trict giving majo-ities in favor of the
law except Bel Air and Havre de
Grace. In the former the vote was
A in favor of license. In Havre de
Grace the vote in favor of license
had 1T majority. By dicker with
the whiskey element the legislature
permitted Havre de Grace to sepa-
rate from the county and allow the
vote for or against license to apply
to the town independent of the
county. This outrage on the part of
delegates to the legislature elected
by temperance votes, has resulted in
the whiskey element concentrating
their strength on one point and thus
establishing themselves in the
county licensing saloons to sell
whiskey the law will prove almost o
total failure. You might as well at
tempt to renovate and purify house

do not for a moment doubt the right for
thee and others 10 vote as you do whether
you support the Republican or the Demo-
cratic party. TO ME that line of action has
no allurement whateyer.
1t is to the Prohibitionist matter Of per-
feet indifference as to which Rum Pdrtv
wins. For it is well known fact that the
saloon continues, whether the White House
is occupied by Cleveland or Harrison. It
has been SO in the past and from the very
nature of the case it must SO continue as
long as the saloon interest is represented in
and allied to both parties controlling their
action.
! 1t is true that we have had some temper
ance legislation, such as Hartford and Cecil
Co., electing prohibition with Hayre de
Grace as liquor distributing centre, but ia
no instance by virtue of the fact that repub-
lican and democratic party exist, but on
the contrary in spite of this fact and there
fore the sooner these parties whose principal
contest is for cfice and the emoluments
thereof, are ruled out of existence the better
for our Nation. This great cry and wall
sent up by the Republicans especially. "that
| am holier than thou" and alleging that all
Democrats are outrageously wicked, &c.,
&C., is simply gush. The man who utters
such language of yituperation don't believe
his own assertions and 1 am greatly sur
prised at thy INDUCING in them.
Thee asks me TO "quit and come oyer"
OH no John, I'll not "come over" 1 see
no good nor prospect of good in SO doing.
AS far back as 1872 decided that the tick
ct Of the rum seller and mine should not be
identical. l was then one of 5000 ouly to
commence voting differently from the saloon
keeper and have SO continued up to the
present time. The sentiment and vote have
grown from that day to this. The Prohibi.
ton vote in your own state cast this year is
about double that of 1884 and so it is the
country over. The vote is yet largely in
the hands of the enemy, the two Rum
Parties, who take great pains to convey
false impression concerning its magnitude
and moral effect, but enough is already
known to assure us that about $50, 900 pro-
hibition votes were cast in 1888 against $780,
600 for St. Sohn in 1884.
