The road, in any event, will be built TO Stafford;
and while the Stafford end of the road would
suffer in some degree if the river should be
crossed elsewhere, an additional section Of

A HOUSE BLOWN CP BY DYNAMITE.-About
four O'Clock Tuesday morning Reuben Norris
and his family, who live near Cambria, were
startled from their slumoers by an explosion,
which shook the house TO It's foundation, and
nearly threw them out of their beds They
were almost frightened out of their wits but
found themselves unhurt Upon examination
itwas discovered that some miscreant had placed
a charge Of dynamite under the corner of the
house and exploded 1t. The explosion tore
away part Of the foundation and stripped the
withdrawing from one side of the house
The inmates of the house consisted of three
grown persons and three small children. The
shock was felt by Mr.. Oliver Rigdon in u house
1875 yards distant. No cause can be assigned for
the iiendsh act, and indications point TO a de.
liberate intention to destroy both the house and
its occupants. The citizens of the neighborhood
owe 1t 10 themselves and the safety Of their
families to search out the perpetrators of this
crime and bring them to justice

A Plan TO Break Down the Binder Irvine
MOnODOly

The farmer is pinched and robbed by trusts
and high tariff, in nearly everything that his
necessities compel him to buy, but in moth
ingis the eXaction more directlyfelt than in the
price he has to pay for binder Irvine. Last
year this indispensable article was twelve
cents n pound now the price is twenty cents.
The excuse for this is short crops of the raw
material, but the real reason is gigantic
trust, made possible by the high tariff on
manufactured Irvine. Farmers have no way
of escaping this extortion. There is no sub
stitute Immediately available. The monopo
lists know this and put the twine," as it
were, upon the farmer.
A suggestion has been made by ex-senator
Charles NJ. Jump, of Talbot county, which if
carried out would doubtless free Maryland
farmers, at least, from the clutches of the
Irvine trust. The outlines of the plan are
given to us by Judge Frederick Stump, of
that judicial circuit
Mr.. Jump proposes that the next Lcgsla-
ture shall pass law by which convict labor
in our penitentary and reformatory insttu-
tions may be used to make binder Irvine, the
State establishing plant for its manufac-
ture. Instead of using the imported sisal
grBss and other materials ON which high
tariff duty is now laid, hemp is proposed as
substitute, and Maryland farmers are to be
encouraged to raise it. The Irvine is be sold
first to Maryland farmers, preference being
given to those who bring hemp in exchange
for manufactured Irvine. When the home
demand is supplied sales can be made else,
where.
1t is believed that if private enterprise
would enter into scheme of this kind the
trust men would combine together and crush
it out They could not compete against con-
vct labor. An argument used for this plan
is that by it Maryland farmers would get
something in return for the taxes they pay
TO support the criminals in our prisons, and
the establishment of this manufacture would
not interfere with any existing industry
The abolition of the tariff on the raw materi.
al would at once lower the price of binder
Irvine, but this is not possible, and the farm
or has to pay 30 or 40 per cent. more than he
ought for his Irvine, as bonus to the trust
all because OF the high tariff Any relief from
this monstrous robbery would be gladly wei
coined by the farmer.

Use Good Labels.

The american Grocer, New York, points out
to. cannersthe advantage having good labels
on their cans instead of simply brick dust
tomato on one side, with the packers
name on the other and not unfrequently his
photograph" The writer adds:
"Some few packers las, year were persuaded
To discard these 'unatlractIve smeaTs, and in
their places used bright, attractive dress for
their goods, the result was that where
the quality was standard the goods with the
new labels were snapped up as soon rs they
were offered for sale, and the neighbor who
held on to his photograph and brick-dust to-
matoes had TO take what luck gave him later
on, which this year was about Csc Dozen
This season the old labels are almost entirely
out OF date, and the majority of 1SS9's goods
will come out in bright. cheerful-looking
labels, which will do credit TO any fancy
