Worshiping the Mighty Dollar.

Of all the worshipers on this green
earth, commend US to the English for
the most servile idolators. Their
last performance is the spectacle of
English royalty and aristocracy pay
ing homage to that half barbarian,
the Shah of Persia. The following
port of English flunkeyism will
illustrate our text.
Everybody that can be Shah and
have as good a time as Nasru'd
Dinhad in London. He had a
reception at the Guildhall, and
rode thither in a carriage with the
Prince of Wales, being followed by
a gorgeous procession of royal per-
sonages, members of the cabinet and
diplomatic corps and other notables,
All along the route the houses were
decorated in honor of the Shah
Troops lined the streets, and the
crowds that cheered his Oriental
were immense. Lord Sails
bury, the premier. was the only no.
table not in place, the crowd having
gotten in between him and the rest
of the possession and amused itself
with his lordship's misfortune.
British commerce has recently gain
ed a footing in Western Persia, and
the thrifty Londoners hope to enlarge
it. He left his numerous wives
home at this time.

A Western agricultural paper
sums up the farmers condition {:
when the farmer comes to sell his
products he runs into the greed of
the railroad first. That docks him
of pretty much all his profits before
his products are moved out of his
sight When they get to the market
they are handled by ring. His
wheat goes into Pillsbury mill and
is ground into -four by the most i'm
proved and profitable methods. Now
for the result: the railroad gets rich;
the commission merchant gets rich;
the elevator company-which we
forgot to mention-gets rich and
Pillsbury gets rich; but the farmer
remains poor. The improvements
seem to be for the especial benefit of
the other fellow. The moro we grow
the richer he gets; the easier we do
our work the Weather he becomes"

Speaking of "mibs," who has not in.
dulged in that fascinating game at some
stage of his youthful career? Every
man has had in his time his favorite
"shooter"-either an agate, an alley, or,
perchance, q cornellan-and he has had
bag Of marbles. He has been able to
make good ring on soft dirt with the
sharp edge of his boot heel, and he has
often scooped holes in the ground for
"holey-boley." He has practiced tagging
at the ring for his shot, and he never
forgot the order of that shot. If he were
smart boy he put the kibosh on his
better playmates by calling: Fen picks

Often he has recklessly played "chineys

ounces in A Authority.

Our Custom House department
appears to be sfflictcd with the curse
of ounces, if the following manage
ment is fair sample which we clip
from the Havre de Grace Republican
of last week.
The British schooner Laura"
Capt Saunders, arrived at this port
Tuesday with cargo of 100 cords
of wood from Weymouth, Nova
Scotia, for the Susquehanna paper
| mills. This cargo coming from
foreign port, it ought to have been
entered at Baltimore, or some other
port of entry which Havre de Grace
is not, and an inspector assigned TO
it, to remain on board until the car
go could be discharged. Capt Saun.
ders found himself here, subject to
fine of $500 If he unloaded his cargo.
He went to Baltimore and interest
ed the British Consul there in the
matter, and the two went to Wash
ington to consult the Treasury Of
ticials, who had been notified of the
non-fulfiIlment of the law on the part
of Capt. Saunders. The outcome Of
the matter seems 20 be that the
''Laura" will have to be towed back
to Ba timore. properly entered there.
and then come back here to unload,
involving an expense of 500 or
more. and two or three days delay
While all this may be in accordance
with strict construction of the law
in the case, it seems to be very ar
btrary and unreasonable. When
he found himself in error in this, lie
promptly reported personally at the
custom house in Baltimore. AS
Havre de Grace is in the Baltimore
district, and constructively part
of the port of Baltimore, it would
seem that all that would have been
necessary was that a customs in.
spector should come here, take chrge
Of the vessel, and remain in charge
until the cargo was discharged, and
thus saved Capt. Saunders the cost
of towage, delay and other expenses.
Our laws are made for the pro.
lection, and not the oppression of
those engaged in legitimate trade
and business, and should be admin
istered in the spirit and intention of
their framels. Capt. Saunders did
not violate or attempt to evade any
of the revenue laws, and we think it
an outrage to compel him to charter
tug and tow his vessel to Balti.
more to enter, and then back here, to
unload 100 cords of wood, at an
expense of $3.50. The vessel was
in the Baltimore customs dis
trict, and constructively in the port
of Baltimore, and what possible diff,
ference did it make to the govern.
ment whether the vessel was in the
Patapsco, mile from the custom
house, or in the Susquehanna, With
government inspector on board?
Every day, in all departments of the
government, tie hard letter of the
law yields to full compliance with
its spirit"

bill providing that PHYSIOLOGY and
hygiene shall be taught in the public
schools, with especial reference 10 the
effect of alcoholic stimulants on the
human system. This is a step In the
right direction, that should be followed
by other States. Let the rising gem
Grafton be taught the evil effects of
alcohol on the physical system in our
public schools. Let our Sabbath
schools devote one Sunday each
month in teaching them the soul de-
stroying effects on the moral and
spiritual system, and then, il this is
followed by high license and restric-
tive liquor legislation, tho day will
surely come when prohibition can and
will be enforced all over this country,
and alcohol only used as medicine

yet ready for it, and that is why pro-
hibition cannot be enforced. They
must be educated for this change, aud
the best way to accomplish that Is by
commencing with the rising genera

Robert Grahsm was arraigned before

charge of being one of the parties con-
cerned with Michael j, Kelley In beating
Frederick W. johnson, In Kitchen s

witnesses examined said they were almost
sure Graham was one OF the party, but
they would not swear positively that he
was the man. Even Kelley did not know
whether Graham was present or not.
The evidence not being positive enough
for conviction, Graham was discharged,
Judge Ball telling him as he lett the
stand that he had u narrow escape. 1t is
due to the Reliance Fire Engine Company
TO State that none of the parties concern
ed In this disgrsceful assault were mem
bers OF that Company, nor did Kelley on
the event & of the assault come to the
engine house " get help as had been
stated In a city paper. Kelley himself
stated to a representative OF the ktrUB-
LIcAS, that he only went down as lar as
Poplar street where he met some friends,
but did not go near the engine house.
