Care orfhe Cellar.

We feel disposed to caution our
readers thus early that they exam
inc their cellars very carefully. Too
often the farm house cellar is the
common store room for apples, po-
tatoes, turnips, beets, onions, cab
bage and squashes, while pork and
beef in the shape of hams, shoulders,
sides, jowls, rounds and tongues find
a resting place or hanging place.
Besides all these we have seen in the
same cellar sweet milk, skinned
milk, buttermilk, butter, and the
cold remnants of meat, vegetables
and fruit from the tables. Does
any sane man believe that these
things can be kept together without
serious damage to some of them2
Some of the fruits and vegetables
must begin to decay at the very
time they are Put in, and all of
them, together with the meets, give
off peculiar scents that are instant
ly absorbed by some of the others,
and especially by the milk and
vegetables. To eat these is sure to
cause disease sooner or later, and
the sooner the head of the house
provides separate and exclusive
places for at least three products
fruits and vegetables, meats, dairy
products-the greater will he reduce
his doctor bills. The more pure,
fresh air of u low temperature can
be made to pass through the cellar,
the better for occupants of the rooms
above.

High license.

The city of Joliet, Illinois, fur
nislfes the following testimony to
the effectiveness of high license in
mitigating the evils of the liquor
traffic: Seven years ago it had 127
saloons for a population of $4,000,
and the license fees being s25, each,
amounted to s3,175. Under the
High License law the fee was
raised to 81 900. This closed more
than one-half the saloons, leaving
only fifty-five. The largely in
creased tax they pay supports the
police, the firemen, all the officers,
and cleaning the streets. Having
now population of about 10000,
the people of the town are consider
ing the advisabiIity of raising the
fee to the enormous figure of $4,000.
This would. they believe, cut down
the saloons to fifteen, while at the
same time increasing the total rev.
enue. Isn't it better that the sa-
looms should be heavily taxed for
the support of the government than
that they should go scot free, as they
do in so many communities under
Prohibition laws?

Take a sheep.

There is a pertinent temperance
lesson in. the following anecdote.
A farmer once employed a young
man to labor upon his farm without
knowing anything of his habits.
All too soon the farmer found that
his new hand was addicted TO drink
ing alcoholics and his habit inters
ferred with his usefulness.
aJohn, said the farmer to the
man, @rll give ye one o my best
sheep if yen give up drinkin' while
ye work for me"
ats a bargain, declared the man.
A grown SON of the farmer.
overhcaring this agreement, looked
mp and asked: ePa, will you give
me sheep, too, if viii not drink
this season."
"Yess' replied the father, '.you
may have sheep, also"
Then the little boy spoke up and
said. spa, will you give me a Sheep
too, If / will not drink
"Yes, son, you shall have Sheep
also.
After moments pause, the little
boy turned to his father and.
said: @Pa, hadn't you better take u
sheep, too2"
81 dunno, [ dunno" the farmer
replied, doubtfully, and then sud-
denly concluded, az declar', I'll try
it and seeI'
The old gentleman was heard
afterward to declare that he made
the best investment of sheep that
season he ever made in his life.

The Eastern shore Of Mary
In .n..l

1t is the oldest section OF Talbot
County, and many would say the
least progressive. AS yet the loco
motive has not penetrated there, the
steamboat comes but three times a
week, and the farmer looks to the
slow returns of wheat and corn for
his income, but it is a land of beau
tiful situations, of comfortable, we'll
kept homes and generous living.
Many of the people still live in the
houses which their fathers or grand
fathers built, and race of fine old
time country gentlemen they were,
whose abundant life and generous
hospitality made the bayside of their
day famous. AS yet there has been
but little immigration. The people
are most of them descended from
ancestors who established them
selves there when they came from
England in the early days of the
colony; the Loves and the Lamb
dens, the Kemps and McDaniels,
Wrightsons and Caulks still live
down there, and grow up and mar-
ry their cousins and their neighbors'
daughters, as their fathers and
grandfathersa and -grandfathers
before did. Thoruddy complexions,
the rotund, compact figures, still
bespeak the English blood. A peo-
pie nourished on oysters and terrapin
who have known how to entertain
their friends and to enjoy them
selves.-Battimore american.

Pomeroy Telegraph.
Mcssrs. George McQuigg and j.
J. Juhler, of this city, Il. W. More

of Louisville, went together to New
York last week on business connec-
ted with the salt interest of this
Bend. Messrs. McQuigg and More.
dock returned home Monday night,
but Mr.. and Mrs. Jnhler are visit
iting their son, Albert, at Lchigh
University, Pennsylvania.
From what can be gathered from
these gentlemen, who have been iu
consultation with the leading spirits
of the contemplated Salt Syndicate,
it seems that move is on foot
among the salt manufacturers of
this region, which, however,, is not
fully developed, to sell all the live
interest here, looking toward con-
solidation of the entire manufacture
of salt in the United States, Eng
land and Canada. Later ON, it is
said, developments OF great interests
to this community may be looked
for.
The salt industry here brings
more money into this bend than any
other enterprise, and whatever benz
efits that might accrue to the salt
makers would certainly benefit all.
We are ready to hail with delight
any Improvement in salt iutercstss
as they have been very much de-
pressed for some time.

Democratic societies.

SlafksDnfg news.
Hon Ghauncey F. Black again
urges the formation of Democratic
societies in every county in the
United States. and is giving his
time and talents to the work in
PennsyIvania
West Virginia Democrats should
wake up at once and commence the
organization of these societies.
There should be one in every dis
tiict in Harrison county, and the
same is true of all the other counties
in9the State, Itis claimed by many
that If Mr.. Cleveland had issued his
celebrated message, which squarely
raised the tariff issue, one year be-
fore he did, the Democracy would
have Won on that issue and Cleye-
been re elected The campaign was
purely $ educational one, and while
the worIsingmen in the manufacture
ing towns saw through the stale
pretence that high tariff is neces-
sary to maintain manufactures and
secure a good market, in the more
remote districts where the advan-
tages for investigation are not so
good, the people were badly hum-
bugged by that high-sounding word
"protection."
The campaign of 1892 will be an
educational one. Bitter partisan
ship is fast becoming a thing of the
past. The party that wins must
present a real issue and one that ap-
peals to the deliberate Judgment
and good sense OF the people. The
farmers especially must be freed
from the superstition that unless
they and the rest of the country are
unnecessarily taxed to protect a few
millionaires there will be no manu-
facturies and no market for farm
products. They are anxious and
fully capable of investigating this
question and many of them have
done SO 10 their satisfaction. The
formation of Democratic societies
devoted to fair discussion of this
question is the best means to fully
educate the people up to the point
where all will see the truth. Dem
ocrats in this county especially,
should interest themselves on this
subject and form clubs.

HIS HlnDorsance.

Ills Importance.
Ex-senator Camden's new rail-
road and coal company schemes, in
(which several millions of capital
are invested, are pushed in the .Ex-
Senator's usual vigorous manner
The construction of the Mononga-
bella River Railroad, which is to
open up the greatest coke seam in
the country, will be under way in a
few weeks. The road will follow
the Monongahela river from Fair
mont to Clarksburg, thirty-fve
miles, and will connect with the
Parlsersburg and Wheeling branches
of the Baltimore & Ohio railroad.
Mr.. Camden controls several other
roads, which will be feeders to this
one, forming system that will open
up the coal fields as large as the
combined Pittsburgh and Connels-
vile region.
President Mayer, of the Balti-
more g. Ohio Railroad Company, is
interested in Ex-senator Camdcn's
projects. Mr.. Mayors consolidated
coal companies furnish traffic over
the Baltimore & Ohio from the
mines to tide-water, and Mr.. Cam
denis company will be an important
feeder to the Baltimore & Ohio for
Cincinnati, ST. Louis and other
western points. The new coal from
the Camden fields will not compete
with the deposits of the George
creek region, where the consolidated
and other mines are located, nor
with the Elk Garden, in which Ex-
Senator Davis is interested, because,
unlike them, it is a gas. and coke
producing coal. The company is
known as the Upper Monongahela
Coal and Coke Company, and it
owns $4,000 acres of coal lands.
The Baltimore & Ohio under Mr..
Mayors management, will improve
its coal carrying facilities.

Once a Tramp. Then a Cover

AAOE.
Your correspondent, while pass
ing up Pennsylvania avenue with a
bureau officer. passed a man named
Wilkinson, who was recently turn
ed outof the ofIfeesof the.eomptroller
of the cnrreneyson account of 'sof-
fensive partisanship. The bureau
officer, after passing Wilkinson,
turned to me and said:
"You recognize that man? Yes;
well, there was an incident in the
early part of his life which connects
him in a way with one of the most
prominent Democrats in Ohio. A
good many years ago Wilkinson
was moving into a house at Spring
field, now one of the most prosper
GUS manufacturing towns in the
central part of the Buckeye state
While his goods We're being put in-
to the house, and those belonging to
the outgoing tenant were being put
on a wagon, seedy looking tramp
came up and inquired if he could
get something to eat, offering to as
sist in the work, if he was accom-
modated. The outgoing tenant re
ferred the tramp to the incoming
tenant, and the latter took the wan
derer into the house and gave him
a dinner. There was not much at
tention paid to that tramp, and for
years, those who saw him on that
day lost sight of him. Finally he
reappeared; however, entered into
the business of the place and began
to grow. He grew in every sphere
of life. He became wealthy and
influential. A few years ago he
was governor, and now he has more
property and money than any man
in his section of the state. 1t is not
necessary for me to mention his
name. He lives at Springfield yet
and is very rich man. His name
is a household word throughout
Ohio"

which a very slight tariff operates

that article a tariff of forty, fifty, or
seventy per cent, as is frequently
done. Now, we have an American

the cheapness of its manufacture
freed from foreign competition, but
it has a tariff tax upon it which, by
means of proper manipulation, can
be utilized as profit by the manu-
