A Fruit Of the Saloon Business.

According TO the Topeka (Kan) Capital
the 800 saloons in Kansas City, Mo, have
f!ched 500 600 day from the laboring men
emptied $50 business places, 5000 residences
and 1000 offices, and driven laboring uen
and mechanics from 400 dwellings to seek
work in Kansas. AS further fruit of this
business, says the Capital, $40, 100000 are
Invested in buildings that are not paying
taxes, ia chaitel mortgages were flied in
June, while from two to three thousand idle
men stand in the the public square begging
for work
Kansas City Mo, is one of the beautiful
examples Of High License. The saloon
keepers Of that City dispense respectable
liqno7 under 8 license of $500, and to the
detachable results pictured in the above
sketch by the Capital the Baltimore Aneyi-
can, in its hjppant paragraphs INVITES the
Republican party and that city
Chicago is another example Of High
Licensa. From 1882 to 1883 the saloon
license fee was increased from S52 TO $500.
Yet arrests for drunkenness aud disorderly
conduct show steady increase daring that
tiue from lS,o36 to 81, l64-over Al per
cent. During the same time the total NUN.
Der Of arrests increased from $500 TO 50,
452 per annum, or nearly 81 per cent. The
increase Of population by M extrayasant
claim was only 40 per cent IN The same
time And this is The story of every high
license city. Omaha with $1,000 license
shows worse results, statistics from It's court
dockets proving it to be the drunkenesi city
for lis population, in the United States,
So much for High License, a temperance
theory which the whiskey and beer bosses
who rule with despotic power the Democrat
and Republican parties are stulling down
the throais Of their temperance and church

The Prohibition Convention That
WAS not

The Prohibition managers did not
succeed in having satisfactory con
vention on Tuesday last. But few del
egates attended and the chairman of
the county executive committee was
detained ut home on account of his
wifc's sickness. 4 call will probably
be issued for convention at some
future time. We gathered from con-
versation among the attending del
egates that it was their opinion that
full ticket would look more like
business and draw out larger vote
than to have only the name of their
state candidate, DR.. Stone, to rally

ing for the College. If the farmers
of Maryland will give the College the
support which an agricultural college
should receive from the agricultural
class, there is every prospect ahead
for a bright and useful future to the
Maryland Agricultural College. The
college buildings will accommodate
100 students, and there are only Al
names on the list This meagre list
should be twice doubled by the farm
ers of Maryland by sending their
sons to the institution, where they
can acquire an education that will f.
them for any useful business they
may select. Send for a catalogue
which gives all the needed informa
ton required to become familiar with
the scope and design of the course of
study pursued at the College.
Among the students names we find
none from Cecil. This should not
be- and in next years catalogue we
hope to see that omission supplied.

Knowledge that is Most Needed.

Just read the party papers announce
ments of the tickets that have been noni-
mated, aud turn on the electric light of COM
mon sense and COMMON honesty to their
alfspoken, half whispered inuendoes; their
mysterious winks and mods. One who did
not know the hollow tricks of the Organ"
class Of papers would suppose that gang OF
house breakers, horse thieyee or counter
ieiters had been located by the police,
when the fact is the candidates are all,
every day, plain, reputable citizens. Their
indigidual opportunities and qualifications
might have been better or worse as the case
may be but they are 90 the whole very
similar 10 their nejghbogs. The proper
question for the searcher after truth 10 ask
is, what do The political parties which stand
behind these candidates propose they shall
do when they have been iuaGced 10 office?
The fact is that political parties should be

The iugglery Of the average politician is
shown in The platform" of gliltering gem

the matter is that the public is but poorly
Informed in matters Of political concern,

the candidates they elect know what they

There is nothing more needed than So

This ever relentless contest goes on with
increasing danger and ominous rumble.
And the struggle has the whole civilized
world for a stage. Consel-General Mueller,
Of Frankford- on.the Main, in his report to
the State Department says:
fittings social ana industrial are fsr from
being reassnring, no matter what scribes
and scrlhblers say TO the contrary. | have
always looked distruetfully on existing
social affairs here. Nothing would have
pleased me better than that experience
would have demonstrated that | had been
mistaken in my views, but it is 10 my re-
greet that l have no reason to change them.
Social conditions here are bad and fraught
with danger, and recent events are proof
thereof. / refer to the gigantic strikes, by
which Germany was 80 unexpectedly and
suddenly visited, and which have prevailed
for the last few weeks. No revolutionary
or anarchistic tendencies lie at the bottom
of these strikes, it is a spontaneous out
growth of unbearable conditions, and mere
struggle for existence by the thousands
of men, most loyal, conservative and
most unpretentious. In Rhenish West

miles, we behold the spectacle of 10000
people revolving at continued work at star
walton prices 10 enlarge the profits of those
for whom they do work. Think of it; that
even in times when mining companies
realize much better prices for their Goals
than for many years past, these struggling
miners receive wages ranging from 1925 10
Sl95 per year, and that they have to strike
for small increase thereon, while at the
same time millions of surplus capital is
eagerly seeking investment in undertakings
which, if successful, tend to render worse
the condition of the working classes, and if
not successful, will be ruinous to many I'm.
suspecting subscribers of stock and greatly
injurious to the public interest,""
In pursuing this social and business prob
lem, with the spread of stock companies,
which are taking the place OF individuals
and partnerships, which in turn seek the
more powerful combination of trusts, Mr..
Mueller continues:
''ln this change of relations between en-
plovers and employees is the germ of new
troubles in the social political conditions.
Stock companies compelled to report the
status of their sffairs can be easily watched,
and knowledge of their profits can be
easily obtained by the workmen. This
knowledge will enable the workers to know
inst when TO demand increased wages
Against these demands the employers will
seek shelter in combinations. The next
move will be union of the workmen in one
large organization, like our labor league
ruled and governed from a central place,
and then, as new phase of the struggle for
eX stence, the war between employers and
employees will be permanent. What the
consequence thereof will be no man can
forsee"

temporary.
President Adams will be here next
