Some Social Announcements

During the past week society has been
less active than during any of the pre-
ceding weeks. The few events which
had been planned and announced be-
fore the entrance of the week were car
ried out, but there were few planned
for the week. The sad disaster of Sat
urday night and Sunday morning cast
its gloom over all the city, and society
was no exception to this effect. There
have been a few large events. Almost
all the events during the week have
been ladies' euehre parties held at the
homes of the hosts, and given to con-
genial parties. There are number OF
announcements already made for the
holidays.
Last Wednesday evening, at the
Holmes hotel. large and fashionable
party assembled to the reception and
ball given by the young ladies' auxiliary

handsome hotel was thrown open TO the
gay party, and delightful evening en-

Reorganization of Cecil Grange
No 2

This order of farmers is again max
ing steady and tolerably rapid advan-
ces in all parts of the country. After
20 years's experience the order has
taken permanent place among the
National Associations of the country.
The influence of the Patrons has been
felt in national legislation. in the en-
actment of the Oleomargarine law and
other laws, and in the movement by
congress at it's last session to preserve
the waters of the mountains of Colorado
for irrigation purposes. The legisla
ton to bring under control of law the
domineering railroads of some of the
westernstates has been so conspicuously
a grange movement, as to have earned
for those roads the soubriquet of "The
Granger roads," One important fea-
ture should be especially noticed; in
every instance where farmer organiza-
tons have bought to bear their influ-
ence in legislation, state and national,
that influence has invariably been on
the side of public interest, and never
in the interest of individuals or corpo-
rations, which seek always to obtain
special privileges by which few may
prosper at the expense of the public.
The social and educational features
of the Grange. are, if possible, more
valuable and important than the influ-
ence the Patrons are able to bring to
bear in determining public measures;
and the advantages accruing directly
to members of the Grange are many
and varied, which tend to lift to a
higher plane the rural population,
who take advantage of the opportunity
offered them by this order.
A movement has been made by the
most enterprising among our farmers

to reorganize, Cecil Grange No. 3,
whose head quarters were at Rising
Sun, and some thirty or more have
already signified their willingness to
take part in the movement. State
master H. M. Murray has been aarang-
ed with to come here and reorganize
by initiating the officers, and the meet
ing for this purpose will take place
some time this present month. The
State Master will bring with him the
Grange lecturer, and after the organiza-
ton has been effected there will be a
public meeting in the hall, at which
the lecturer and other speakers viii

the influence it has exerted and is
destined to exert on the agricultural
community in future. 1t is hoped thai
the meeting will be large one, and
that the recognized Grange will have
a strong send off.

that can happen the supply of mon
ey to sustain the larger movement
must be put into circulation. Thus
the ouJgo Of specie is found to be q

prices lower during the coming sea

and in that aspect it is not by any
means an unHixed evil"
No, "not an unmixed evil.' The
evil is all on one side, however. The
producing class sustains the loss.
A nd the trading classes are the gain
ers, if they can purchase g. per cent
more goods for the same amount of
money and sell them again for prices
a little higher, probably, than they
sold for last year, and in turn bring
back goods to sell to consumers as
high as they can force the prices by
"trusts" and similar devices. This
practice is using up producers like
the candle burning at both eeds.

The people find that while their labor
produces the total national wealth, their
scant proportion of this wealth and their
dependent condition are inconsistent with
the principles of republican government
| Had the Knights of Labor and other like
organizations, expended their vast revenues
wasted in conventions and strikes, in educat-
ing and moulding public opinion, the time
would soon be ripe for repeating the laws of
past generations and enacting Others suitable
to the present economic conditions.
Admitting that it is easier to point out an
evil than to correct it, yet critical exam
ination proves unquestionably that the
cauee of the evils referred to is the absolute
and unlimited ownership of land, and the
granting of charters to corporations for a
long time, or in perpetuity.
The granting of titles and charters in
perpetuity is relic of the past when kings
and princes ruled without regard to public
opinion or public necessities, when the will
of the sovereign was the law of the land.
This might do in those countries where
such system of government still prevails,
bit in Our progressive democratic republic
can government the will of the people is the
law of the land, and as the people be-
come more and more intelligent, public
opinion, public necessities. change, and
what was good and desirable for one gener-
alton is not suitable for the next. Thus an
entirely new economic condition has arisen
since title to the valuable coal and iron
lands Of Pennsylvania passed into private
ana corporate possession. Then those vast
sections were tenantless, save by few.
During the late strikes it was shown con-
clusively, on more than one occasion, that
in the Schuylkill valley alone the interests
of the tens of thousands were jeopardized by
the arbitrary acts of the railroad, and coal
and iron companies.
These companies could faunt their char
teIs, leases and titles in the face of the PEG.

Now suppose these titles to expire within

The Saloon Won,

The Republican party of Chester
county held a convention at West
Chester, July 3Otb, where resolutions
were offered deprecating the recent
decision of the Supreme Court, so far
as it nullifies the salutary effects
made possible by the restrictive fea-
lures of the Brooks License Law
and recommending that the party in
the next Legislature should take
prompt means to remedy the defects
of the Law, so as to restrict the issu-
ance of licenses in accord with the
best interests and wishes of each
community, was strenuously opposed
by members of the convention and
lost by adjournment.
"The best interests and wishes of
the community" have very little
weight with politicians when pitted
against the saloon vote.

Preparing for a Modification Of the
Tariff.

The New York Tribune, Globe
Democrat and other leading Repub-
lican papers have taken the ground
which the Baltimore american takes
in the following extract:
"Any industry which resolves it.
self into a trust forfeits its claim to
protection If any industry wants
the advantage of controlling the mar.
ket and making the community its
slave, it yields. when it attempts
such an end, all claim to the foster
ing influence of the system which the
community has ordained for fair
dealers. Protection will repudiate
it. No place is open on the sched-
ules of the tariff to an industry or
ganized as trust.'
The radical position assumed by
the party which was deemed neces.
sary to antagonize the position taken
by Cleveland and his lieutenants in
the last campaign, was plainly
enough to the sober second thought,
untennable, and the wiser heads of
the party are preparing to take the
practical ground, on the question
which had been marked out by lead
ers of the party previous to Cleve-
lands bold assault. A tariff that is
prohibatory is unbusiness like and
defeats the first object of a revenue
law. A tariff that forces the price
of raw material above the worlds
market price OF such articles, pre-.
vents the manufacturers, who use
such materials. from competing with
the outside world in the markets of
the world for their surplus, and they
are compelled to sell at an advanced
price to consumers at home or stop
business. This condition of affairs
leads directly and naturally to the
combine and trust for self protection.
The trust orders curtailment of
production, to bare supply of the
home market, with price fixed to
suit its arbitrary will. When this
state is reached there is no longer
hope of competition or market in
foreign countries for the products of
an increased manufacturing industry.
The primary object of protective
tariff is at an end, which is the build.
ing up of manufacturing industries
in this country and the cheap
ening of products by competition.
The high Republican authorities
above quoted, see this and are pre-
pairing for change in the tariff law
at the next session of Congress. with
repeal OF internal taxes on whiskey
and tobacco, (Which la n has built up
two giant monopolies in spirituous
liquors and tobacco; no others can
participate In these two lines of bus:
mess but millionaires and powerful
corporations,) and placing on the
free list raw material used largely
by our manufacturers.

Prohibition Tickets.

The Prohibition party is going
steadily forward making nominations
for State and county offices. In New
Jersey a large State Convention
nominated strong man for Cover
nor. In Ohio the party have put a
State ticket in the field. In both
States strong platforms were adopt
ed. The party in Maryland held its
State Convention at Glyndon Park
last week and nominated DR.. D. Il
Stone, of Frederick county, for State
Comptroller. One hundred and
eighty delegates were present. A
member of the executive committee
was appointed in each county, Geo
Balderston being reappointed for
Cecil county. Able speeches were
made against high license heresy
which is attempted to be forced upon
the republican party by the Ameri
can, which appears to have gone
oyer "body and breeches' to the
liquor cause. The platform has no
ambiguity or double meaning. 1t
proclaims unalterable opposition to
"every form of license or comprom.
ise,' and reasserts its belief that
prohibition is the only remedy for
the evils of the liquor traffic, The 5,
6 and 9Th planks declare:
That men who sell their votes, or
men who direcly or indirectly buy
votes, should be DISTINGUISHED, and
forever be prevented from exercising
the right OF suffrage.
That the modern combinations of
capitalists, called "trusts," we be-
lieve to be unfriendly to the interests
oflthe people. and should be prevent
ed by stringent laws.
We protest against the present
laws of the United States which per-
NIT the expectation of rum and other
liquors to Africa and other heather

venting this gigantic evil.

The reports through agricultural
papers manifest that the Alliance
and Grange organizations are show.
ing more activity than ever before
in extending the influence of these
farmers societies, and increasing
their membership. There appears
to be a general rousing up among
farmers all over the country to the
necessity of their joining hands for
self defense and mutual protection.
Notwithstanding that breadstuff are
short throughout the great supply
centers of the world, the money
minipulators and trust combinations
are enabled to quote prices 81 per
cent lower than last year. With the
same amount of money they intend
to buy larger quantity of produce
in a thin market this year than in q
plethoric market last year, and, as a
matter of course, when it is largely
in their possession they will sell to
consumers at an advance over last
seasons quotations. This compress
operation is squeezing farmers so
tight that they are not only squeal-
ing but are beginning to struggle for
release. A few more turns of the
money screw ought to make them
! unch for mutual protection. Put
it to them, Shylock, as long as they
will stand it.

The supercilious individual WI

The supercilious individual who
presides over the editorial columns
of the Baltimore american is bent
on committing the republican party
of this State to high license. When
the county conventions meet and the
State convention meets let them say
in no uncertain tones if the Ameri-
can is warranted in thus committing
the party. The temperance people
of the State want to know whether
the party which has stood heretofore
for temperance law has concluded to
accept the saloons bribe and submit
to it's dictation in future. Speak cut

The Prisoners Aid Society.

There is a humanitarian institu-
ton of this name in Maryland and
two of its chief officers have recently
made a tour of inspection on the
Eastern Shore, among the jails, aims
houses, court dockets, &C. The in
specting officers have made report
since their return of what they saw
and heard, containing numerous
comments and suggestions. Some
of the papers Of the Shore denounce
the report of these learned experts,
as false in part and misleading. AID.
hitting, however, that the report is
all true and its suggestions wisely
made, the Grand Juries look after
these matters two or three times
every year, and it is fair to suppose
that they will make as searching a
scrutiny and as wise recommended
tions to the courts and county COM
missioners, if not a good deal more
so. than the smelling committee of
the Prisoners Aid Society. If the
statistics which the court and other
records furnish are needed for CON-
pilation by the State they could all
be furnished to an officer designated
for the purpose of collating and
compiling them. Less delay in
bringing prisoners to trial would be
a greater aid to both prisoners and
public than this Society's labors.
The following is specimen item
from the Report:
"The almshouse in Worcester
county is in need of whitewashing.
and the colored department should
be thoroughly set in order"
The Report states that during the
past six months ended June 30sh
1856 prisoners were committed to the
nine jails, as against 232 committed
during the same period last year.
This large increase in the number of
commitments is attributed mainly to
the influence of the drinking clubs,in
the local option counties, which
they also think, are more harmful
than open saloons. They say that
there are six of these clubs in Eas.
ton, and in Talbot county the COM
mitments to Jail during six months
numbered 100, as against Is commit
ted during the same period last year.
Several of the clubs have forfeited
their charters.
1t will be seen that these Samara-
tins haYe kind word sandwicaed
in their report for the saloon. A
few drinking clubs that have no
right to exist they allege are more
harmful than open Saloons The
saloon is invariably claimed by this
class of temperance moralists as the
most innocent and least harmful of
all the devices for supplying intoxi-
cants, when every body with a grain
of commonsense, properly used,
knowns that it is the very prince of
all the methods for fostering the
drink evil. When will outraged
truth by public protest stop the lying
mouths of pious saloon aoologists?
One of the report makers is a Rev.
MIR. Zinkhan, who is general agent
of the Society.
