The International Congress.

The long anticipated and much talk
ed-of Congress of American Nations
met in Washington last week. Dele
gates from all the nations of North and
South America, except Canada and
San Domingo, are present and will
take part in the deliberations. The
meeting was only preliminary to the
real business of the conference which
will lie transacted next month after the
Itinerary of the Eastern and Middle
States is completed.
Upon the other side of the sea this
Pan American Congress is looked upon
with uneasiness and suspicion. Euro
pean journals talk of it as conspiracy
against transcontinental commerce.
1t is feared that the progressive nations
of the New World are to form vast
confederacy of some sort in order to
shut out the trade of the Old World.
When congress of nations is called in
Europe it means an alliance of warlike
powers to patch up temporary peace.
Hence, the true significance of the
American conference is magnified
much hey ond its proper proportions.

and population of the countries FORM

can say without fear of contradiction, not a
horse in the Elkton district receives more
careful attention or has an easier life. l
entered him at your fair not for the pecun-
larry reward or expecting to compete with
trained horses, but simply to show the COM

years if properly taken care Of Being the

After the race he was well cared for and

without the least sign of rheumatic" or
abuse. Respectfully,

Mr.. EDITORIALS the MIDLAND JOUR-
NAILS course since its publication has been
to advance the farming interest in Cecil Co.,
advocating nominations of representative
men to fill the Offices in the county, whereby
the interests Of the people and the tax
payers would be secured, it seems as if the
course Of tine MIDLAND JOURNAL should
still be to advocate the nomination and
election of the best men in the county to ell
the offices. This will not antagonize or in
jure any interest, or compromise your paper
as an independent journal. In back num-
Der of the JOURNAL read in your referring
to the nominations made by the Democratic
convention to i'll the local offices, this: at
seems as if some farmer could have been
found among the twenty or thirty thousand
people mostly connected with farming, to
fill the nomination for State Senator" Is
there farmer in Cecil county that will not
endorse your statement! And is there a
farmer in Cecil county that will Say it has
been done? Aud can there be found farm
er in Cecil county who will say that his
interests have been considered relative TO
the nominations made by the Democratic
party in our county? If there is he is not a
farmer.
Now it seems as if after the Republicans
had net in convention and made nomina-
lions after the Editor of the JOURNALS own
heart fully 80 per cent of farmers, and
selected for State Senator, gentleman who
can say that he is farmer in Maryland,
Pennsylvania and Dakota and paying more
ocratic ticket, land wholly on lands. an ex-
perienced accountant, a gentleman fully
qualified to act as a Legislator, good con-
versa tionalist; the very person, the business
people OF Cecil county want in the Senate
as he represents no other interests, under no
or corporate influence. 1t
seems as if it was the duty of your paper as
a farmers paper to have not onlv acknowl-
edged the Republican nominee, but the
whole ticket as composed of representative
farmers, who will when elected have no
better interest to guard, no other interest
that needs legislation more, no other inter-
est that needs fostering protection and eu-
more than the farming interest |

ron the principal that "a hint to
the wise is sufficient" after noticing
the fact that farmers should look
more to their own ranks for candi-
dates, and the Republican and Pro-
hibition parties, seemingly having
acted on that "hint," by nominating
each representative farmers who
stand among the first classes as types
of integrity and intelligence, we felt
that it would seem like an insult to
their manhood to follow up the hint
by system of newspaper button
boiling for candidates that we had
endorsed in advance of their nomi,
nation. We do our electioneering

We import from them more than
SlOO,OO0,O00 worth of goods annually,
and export to them only about$ 44, 00O,-
900. This means that large amount
of our gold is annually drawn from us;
and the question is: What can be
done to secure more profitable trade
with these countries, whose trade
would seem naturally to belong to us?
1t would help us greatly if our people
would familiarize themselves with
what surrounds them. They would
then be better able to join in an inter

better commercial relations.

bic subjects for grange discussions.
