son " Minch to Settle
uD Business.

The Executive Committee of the
Cumberland County Agricultural So
ciety met Monday afternoon, at two
o'clock at the office of Garrison &
Minch, ten members being present
and President Minch in the chair.
After the reading of the minutes of
previous meeting, Secretary Garri-
son reported that James Watson, of
the Philadelphia Press, had been paid
$25 for his services. The Committee
confirmed the action of the Secretary
in his selection.
In reference to the mortgage which
rests upon the Society, Mr.. Garrison
stated that the holder of the mort
gage had said he was willing to allow
the mortgage to remain with the in
terest at 81 per cent, the bond now
bears per cent
The Secretary then read the prem
ium lists as they had been returned by
the awarding committee. James New
comb, the exhibitor of the pure white
colt, was awarded a special premium
of 81 on the animal. Walter Garrison,
one of the awarding committee was
granted first premium upon a pair
of colts which he had not been able to

mittee.
A request was heard from T. w. Will
liams, asking the committee to release
him from paying the entrance fee for

judges of the race, and ask for permis-
sion to withdraw his horse; after
lengthy discussion it was resolved that
one half of the fee, $3.50 be demanded
from Mr.. Williams.

| horses amounted to $392, according to

mended that special premium be

exhibit of an engine. The Executive
Committee acted favorably.

THAT CONTRACT.

Under the caption of "Our Public Ser vants," the Prospector this morning emits its bilious attack on the Board of Super. visors. The saffron sheet planes the board for opening bids for printing the delinquent tax list at the time advertised, and awarding the contract to the EPI- TAPH, the only bidder. The Board is composed of business men, who have their own affairs as we'll as those of the county to look after, and hence cannot be expected to watch out for the interest of the Prospector. If the manager of that paper neglects his business, he should be the last person in the world to complain.
 The Board has shown the Prospector more consideration than the EPITAPH could expect. It annuled a contract for printing held by this paper and gave the work to the Prespector, without advising with or consulting us. Under our pro test this week the Board gave MT. Nash sl<vsn days in which to file bond for doing the county advertising, when he was under bond in the sum of $500 to furnish in ken days contract and bond for doing said work, and now the cry is, they are trying to "down" the Prospector. Heaven forbid that our jaundiced con- temporary should be "downed," for if the EPITAPH can't succeed with such op- position, there is little hope for it.
 The price we get for printing the delinquent list, is fair one-exactly the same as last year. If the Frospector had a manager who attended to its business and its bid was less than ours, the list would have been printed upon wrapping paper instead of newspaper-that's all The fact is, however, that the Prospectol had no intention of putting in bid, fol it knows, and every printer in the towr knows, that there is not enough smal type in that office to set up one-half the list. Bah! why don't you wait till you have kick coming.

WHO WROTE SHAKESPEARE? How the Element of "Doubt" Leads to
 Grand Achievements.

The world is agitated again over the question of who was the author of Shake speare's plays.
 The world is full of doubting Thomas es.
 The man who has been successful in exciting tine present momentary interest in the subject is, like most successful agl- tators, an Irishman. He claims to have discovered a cipher running through the Shakespearian plays which proves them to have been written by Lord Bacon. It is also claimed that there is cipher ln the epitaph on the moss-grown tomb stone, which, properly interpreted, leads to the same conclusion.
 This age shows decided inclination to pry into mysteries.
 1t can make no difference to Shakes peare now whether the world believes he wrote the plays that bear his name or not.
 The plays are immortal.
 Ignatius Donnelly cannot rob us oi these grand works, even though he should succeed in robbing Shakespeare of his glory. m
 Were it not for doubting Thomases many of mans great accomplishments would never have been brought to suc- cessful issue.
 Men have been stricken down without warning. Doubt put in motion the in' yestigation which ascertained the cause. After the discovery of the cause, the world was ignorant of any remedy with which to stay the terrible slaughter of humanity, and medical science said it was impossible. Doubt led the way to the light, and Warmers safe cure solved the seemingly unsolvable problem. It's friends tell us with conclusive proof that the unsupported kidney disease befouls the blood and causes most of our diseases
 For years the heart was looked upon as the most important organ in the body but doubt led to further inquiry, which developed the fact that the kidneys are the real blood-purifiers of the system and these organs now attract the first attention of the careful practitioner. Ii is now recognized fact that If they are put in healthy state by the use of that remedy possessing such wonderful cura. tive and cleansing powers most of the prevailing diseases of the system will be easily overcome, since their cause will be removed.
 How unimportant, in comparison with such problems, is the present discussion as to the authorship of Shakespeare!

A PRACTICAL PROPOSITION.

It now lies in the power of Congress to give the West such boom as no country ever had, and to enhance the value of taxable property beyond any previous experience. Subsidies were granted to the Pacific railroads and millions of dollars were stolen, but the grain fields of Kansas and Nebraska, the coal fields of Wyoming and the gold and silver mines of Montana, Colorado, Nevada and California have paid back into the treasury of the United States au hundredfold, the amount of the sub sidies by which the original overland lines were built.
 When these subsidies were granted, there was no surplus in the treasury, and every dollar granted to the aid of public enterprises was drawn directly from the pockets of the taxpayers.
 To-day some sixty millions of dollars lie idle and useless in the vaults of the United States treasury. Why not use it for the development of the resource: of the great west?
 The government possesses millions upon millions of acres of land in the west which may be made productive b! irrigating systems, and millions ofpeople stand ready to populate these vast areas whenever they are made tillable. Le
 Congress appropriate portion of thu surplus in the treasury to the subsidiz-
 ing of western irrigating canals, and th'
 money thus invested will prove a paying
 venture in the increased valuation o
 property for purposes of taxation. The government should turn its atten ton to the vast area of unproductive lant l by the reason of lack of water, ant ] employ some of the surplus revenue a 1 it has been done in India by the Britisl government, in developing water, con { structing vast reservoirs. for the benefi , of the public domain. The governmen \ may do this with the same or evel | greater propriety than it spends million | in improving rivers and harbors for tn general good. Albuquerque Democra,
