A False and Damaging Report.

The Egery EUeajng ofyesterday under
the head lines of A Prevalence of
Diphtheria" had the following, sent bv
Its Smyrna correspondents:
" SMYRNA, Jan lO.-Several doctors re.
port that at least 30 cases of diphtheria
now exist in this vicinity. Should the
disease become epidemic, the school com
missioners will at once close the public
schools"
1t would be impossible to crowd
more talsehOods into six lines of read
ing matter than the above contains.
and what should prompt any one with
any regard for truth or the interest of
the town to pick up such a senseless
and unfOunded rumor and publish it to
the world on the authority of our phv-
sicians, it is hard to divine. We took
the trouble this morning to wait on
our doctors in active practice. Drs.
Ashcraft, Dwight, Swinney, Clifton.
Moore and Tanning, and each one i'm
response to the inquiry, said they haze
not a case of diphtheria in their prac-
tlce. 1t is strange how such state
SO devoid of fact should get afloat.

three cases, but that there is none now

In taking into account the differ
ence in the price of grain now and
twenty years ago it is found that it is
largely accounted for in the matter of
transportation. Then the cost from
Chicago to the seabOard cities was IS
cents per bushel, while now the rail-
road charge is only % cents. If this
difference of 40 cents were added to
the present price of wheat in our mar
ket, the farmer would be entirely salts
fed. 1t is not likely that the railroads.
IN the active competition that exists
between them, will go back to the high
rates that formerly existed, nor is it
likely that the great product of the
new acres of virgin soil constantly be-
ing opened in the West will cease to
flow to the East until the soil there be-
comes devoted to other products, and
the cities grow to be immense con-
sumers. In this condition of trade it
is pretty hard on Delaware farmers.

The Proposed Canning Industries in
our Town.

We gave in our last issue an account
OF a meeting of our citizens to encour-
age new industries, prompted by the
Visit TO our town Of two gentlemen
from Hartford county, Md, looking out
tor a suitable place to engage in can
ming corn and tomatoes. There is
nothing III the way of the latter. for
the growing of tomatoes for canning
purposes has been satisfactorily engag-
ed IN for some years and is beyond
preadVenture, but that of corn, viz ::
sugar corn, in large quantities, is some
thing new and naturally is looked into
with proper business caution. The
gentleman interested in this special
department of packing, Mr.. Baker. has
his fears, we understand that our
farmers will not be able to furnish him
the quantity desired. He wants the
product of from four to five hundred
acres, and desires it within a radius of
from mile and a half to two miles of
his plant. This question can be easily
enough settled, and need not cause
any delay.
Mr. Jardine, who has an opportunity
TO meet with and consult the farmers
on this subject tells us that without
exception they express readiness and
in fact an eagerness to cooperate to
the fullest extent in this enterDrise
Our soil in the vicinity Of the town is
adapted to the growth ofcorn, is fertile
or can easily be made so, and since Mr.
Baker proposes to guarantee by Hartford
county farmers who have been for
years engaged in the business that it
Will pay considerably better than grow
ing matured corn for the market. there
can be nothing in the way of Mr.
Baker coming if he has fully decided
to seek a new field. 1t hinges right
here. We have no question at this
point of the subject. If Hartford conn
ty could anything like supply the corn
needed for their business. it wouId he

late how many acres he can spare from

SENATOR SHERMAN's speech, which
follows Mr.. Blaine's interview on Presi-
dent Cleveland's message on the Tariff
question that so stirred the political
world, furnishes matter for discussion
by the politicians of both parties and
is reechOed in notes of approval or dis
approval throughout the nation. 1t is
a question of state-craft, and it is we'll
to have it discussed by men able to
grasp the subject. Mr.. Cleveland laid
down in his message his views with
vigOr and without any attempt at con
cealment; those who take the opposite
view are meeting the question with the
same candOr. The man who studies
rather than scans the views as thus
presented, will be able only to get a
proper view Of the subject of political
science. There is a fact to be reached
that will initiate for or against our
prosperity that far outweighs party
success. This may lie in a mean be-
tween the two extremes, but there
may be a right theory and a wrong
theory in reaching it. Which Of these
methods as much as the question itself,
is what is up for decision.

PAIRING Down the salnnns

Inc temperance people of Delaware
county, which joins New Castle county
on the north, have accomplished a VIC
tory similar TO the one gained here last
month. Our judges refused 35 per
centum of the applications for licenses
made to them, while Judge CLAYTON of
Delaware county turned down only
ABOUT 10 per centum of the applica-
tons before him. The course, howev-
er, of both courts was precisely the
same, in the respect that licenses were
refused in every instance where a re-
mOnstrance was presented.
The action of the court IN Delaware
county, following so closely upon that
in New Castle county, indicates clear
ly the rapid and encouraging growth
of the anti-salOOn element. The sem
tentious replies of Chief Justice Come
gys, to young lawyer who was plead
ing for liquor licenses, were to a GER
tain extent a pleasing revelation to
those had been most active in the gen
eRal effort to reduce the number Of sa.
looms; and remark made by Judge
Clayton in Media on Wednesday was
especially gratifying to those who had
presented him with circumstances.
He said
" The best way would be to stop the
sal Of intoxicating liquor altogether.
1 don't think few men should be Civ
en- chance, as the new law provides.
TO make monopoly of the sale Of in
toxicants. / believe / would support
entire prohibition" This declaration
we are told, made "a stir among the
temperance people, as they have here
tofore regarded Judge Clayton as unfa-
yorable to their interests Jud0e
Clayton has the reputation of being a
master politician, yet at the same time
ms decisions upon the bench are above
suspicion, and in the matter of licenses
he has shown conclusively that he rec
ognizes the right Of the people to petit
ton.

IT is with pleasure that we note an
arousement of public spirit among our
leading citizens for the development of
industries. This has been evinced the
present winter in more ways than one.
and is as it should be. When men
with capital take hold of those who
have not, or show in any manner a
disposition to aid and encourage them,
they can pursue their business with a
vim and energy which cannot be done
when they feel they are left alone and
thus in measure helpless. 1t is thus
that some towns develop faster than
others; because they have the key to
success-a combination of head, hand
and purse.

Learning to Write.

a few weeks ago the Philadelphia
Weekty Press started a department for
the interest of the young people. the
object of which was to learn them the
art OF composition. The chief feature
OF this is a picture which the children
are asked to describe, prizes being
awarded the most successful. Miss K
l.. Storm, one of our teachers caught
the idea at once, and adopted it in her
department. Its success has been
wonderful in stimulating thought, cul-
tlVatlng the imaginative faculties and
learning them to properly express
themselves in written language. This
class, which numbers some sixteen
pupils ranging from ten to twelve wears
nave become deeply interested in the
picture lessons, and all show not only
a readiness but an eagerness to do their
best in describing the picture that is
presented to them for subject. and to
one learning young ideas how to
shoot" many of the compositions are
not only cute" but decidedly interest
ing. Miss Storm gives a prize at the
end OF each month, a feature in which
she has been kindly offered assistance
by parties interested in the school.
Two or three of the girls have already
had articles of sufficient merit to be
named IN the columns of the Press.

tilted that they were forgeries. Capt.
Emory denied that he admitted his La
bility as indOrser, as claimed by Mr..
John E. Tygert and Mr.. Barrcll.
Judge Morris ruled out letters from Mr..
Ruth to Capt. Emory to show that
there was no intention that Capt. EN-
DRY should be looked to for payment of
the original notes, which were Endorsed
by Capt. Emory. A letter from Mr..
Ruth to Capt. Emory, dated on the
day of the suicide, in which Mr.. Ruth
contesses the fOrgeries, was offered for
Identification only. The verdict of the
jury if given, we have not seen pub
lished, but the forgery was clearly es-
tablished.

protection of a duty that doubles the

vantage to the country of adding Kan
sas to the list of sugar-producing
States is, perhaps, an equivocal one.
though, of course, the Professor did not
deem it his duty to consider this aspect
OF the question. In the Fort Scott ex-
periments the diffusion process was
used, with the best modern appliances
for evaporation. The cost of plant for
manufacturing sugar with profit from
sorghum cane, the Professor thinks,
should not be less than $685. 900, not to
mention the cost of apparatus suitable
for refining.
