A new swinale which is going In

A new swindle which is going the
rounds of the papers which we sup.

we hardly believe that any farmer
who reads the MIDLAND JOURNAL 10
80 jolly green as to be taken in by it.
The trick is for a nice talking. nicely
dressed man to get permission to
leave a bnndle of hay forks in the
barn Of some farmer telling him that
they are the remainder of q large
shipment, and informing him that if
he can dispose OF them he will be
allowed a commission averaging
from thirty to seventysfive per cent.
The farmer agrees to become respon-
sible for the goods, and is persuaded
to sign receipt" which they are
careful he shall not read. and thirty
days later he is called upon by al
accomplice of the seller. who de.
mands .quadrurle payment for the
forks. and shows the farmers agree

An Explanation.

We republished an article last week
from the appeal, which charged MIR.
Moore with influencing members OF
the legislature against the Cecil County
Bond Bill, by telling them that DR.
Mackall was secretly opposed 10 the
bill, and that after the vote members
had told him, 1.-THE DOCTOR that such
was the fact. DIR. Mackall informs US
that members did not state to him that
Mr.. Moore made such statement, but
members said to him, doctor we voted
against the bill because we understood
you did not want it passed." but they
did not say they had been so informed
by Mr.. Moore. The latter joined in a
favorable report and afterwards voted
against the bill. With these facts be
fore them it will not be difficult for the
public to reach pretty accurate con-
clus:on.
The object of the bill was to relieve
the taxpayers, not of the republican
party simply, but of all parties alike,
and was not in any sense a party
measure but was asked for by most
influential men of all parties in the
county, and doubtless the object in
view of antagonizing the bill was a
hope to make capital against the pres
ent board of County Commissioners by
compelling them to assess the whole
amount of tax on the farmers and 9TH
ers the present year to pay the float
ing county debt at once, in place of dis
tributing it through several years. Any
man with sense enough to get to the
legislature ought to know that the tax
payers of Cecil have sufficient intelli-
gence to see through gossamer polit-
ical trick like that, and if Influenced in
any way would be likely to he against
the men and party who placed a crush
ing load on their shoulders, with the
hope of making political capital. 1t
will be discovered by and by we hope,
that honesty is the best policy in pol
itics as in every thing else.

High License.

The Philadelphia News says that
high license has come to stay in
that city, and the sooner those in
the liquor business realize this fact
the better it will be for them. The
people have determined that the
liquor traffic shall be controlled and
kept within proper bounds. The
Republican party has the credit of
inaugurating this great reform, and
for so doing the entire liquor inter.
est will in the future be arrayed
against it."
The above is being quoted by the
city daily press, as though it were a
bright, new thought. We are at q
loss to see why the liquor interest

lessons absolutely choke our public schools,
and teachers are compelled to hurry and

In the high license states the annual

A religious society in Philadelphia did
something of a noYel character that could
be easily and proftably initiated by every
congregation in the United States 1t had
c bare-looking patch OF ground in front of
its church, which gave the premises n dreary
and iorhidding appearance. As an expe-
dient for giving this the appearance of a
garden musical entertainment was given,
the price Of admission to which was one
pot-plant for each person entering. The
rueeess was immense. All the neighbors
and their children crowded INTO the church
on the evening OF the entertainment, each
bringing plant in flower. The next morn
ing the sexton and working committee
OF the church people set to work to place
the plants in position. In few hours the
former wilderness blossomed us the rose.
The good work was accomplished without
pecuniary inconvenience 10 anybody, and
worship was no doubt enjoyed tie more
thereafter. Let other church societies try
this experiment
