A CARD
The Financial Condition of the Baltimore
County Hedge and Wire Fence
Company.

The Maryland Journal in its issue of Novem-
Der goth, contained local item to the effect that
a bill had been filed in the Circuit Court for
Baltimore County, to have this Company placed
in the hands of a Receiver because of its insol-
vent condition, and to the further effect that its
work had proved failure. Some of the officers
of the Company being much surprised by the
publication. no such suit having been instituted
and the charges made being wholly untrue, in
vestigated the origin of the report. and found
that it was furnished the above paper by
member of the Company who has been secretly
working against its interests for sometime,
though in its paid employ.
On the 10th of December, 1890, nearly two
weeks after the above publication, w. Frank
Mitchell, the retained counsel of the Company,
filed bill in the above Court, pretending to
represent Joseph E. Tracey, and John ]. Myer,
the assignee of said MITCHELL alleging the insol-
vency of the Company and asking for the ap-
pointment of receiver. 1t is due Mr. Tracey,
who is a stakeholder, to say that he has denied
or authorized him to file any such bill on his
behalf The only complainant in fact is one
John J. Myer, to whom the said MITCHELL on the
9th day of December, assigned a pretended
attorneys fees, amounting to $160.97. Included
in the bill is charge of $74.97 retaining fee as
counsel to the Company. This is one OF the
most remarkable suits ever known, and the po-
sition of Mitchell a novel one.
The Company has upon its books claim for
hedge planting done for Mitchell, never paid,
and also holds his overdue notes amounting to
$17SOS with interest, still unpaid. The pre-
tended claim of Mitchell is the only outstand-
ing and unsettled claim against the Company
and as to the charge of insolvency, the Compa-
nv has valid tangible and available assets of
over eight thousand five hundred dollars, and
the Company is most anxious to show the utter
fasity of every charge contained in the bill filed
in the above mentioned case, and to expose the
baseness of the motives which prompted the
publication of the charges made through the
columns OF the JOu71tn, ana IN the Dill OF COM
plant above mentioned.
The Company has now employed reliable coun-
sci to represent it's interests and will insist upon
the earliest trial of the above case consistent
with thorough investigation of every charge
made. JOHN b. LONGNECKER,
President pro tenn.

Col. d. NJ. MATTHEWS. of Dulany's Valley,
who for six years served so faithfully as presi-
dent of the Baltimore County Agricultural
Society, declined to accept the Office for an
other year and his successor was elected on the
18th instant. COL Matthews devoted great
deal of his valuable time to the affairs of the
society, and this necessarily interfered with his
extensive farming operations. The Board ac-
cepted his resignation with much regret and
adopted unanimous vote of thanks to him
for his valuable services to the society. Mr.. D.
III. Rice, who succeeds Col. Matthews as presi-
dent is an active and successful business man,
possessing peculiar fitness for the position. He
owns and gives his personal attention to one
of the largest stock farms in the county and is
meeting with deserved success in the raising of
standard bred horses and Holstein-Friesian
cattle. We have no doubt the society will
flourish under his guidance.

THIS MoNKEYING with the Indians ON the
part of the Government appears more like
child's play than anything else. First the
authorities arm the reds-or permit them to
arm themselves-with the most improved ri
fes and other death-dealing weapons, and then
the Government appoints lot of thieving
agents to furnish supplies to its wards Instead
of feeding the Indians these agents rob them
in every way possible, even to the verge of
starvation. Is it any wonder they want to
fight when they are driven to it by these scamps?
Anybody would fight under similar circum-
stances. If the Government wants to do the
right thing let it hang about half hundred of
its present Indian agents and then endeavor to
find some honest men to take their places.

A FEW days ago two men were tried in the
Baltimore Criminal Court on the charge of
running gambling house. The evidence was
dead against thim-in fact there was no evil
dence whatever for the defense-yet the jury
returned verdict of mot guilty" Judge
Stewart, who presided, was highly indignant
at the verdict and denounced it from the bench
in unmeasured terms, saying "this verdict is a
most disgraceful one" The Judge deserves
the highest commentator for his manly stand
in this instance. People are coming to look
upon trial by jury as mere farce and unless
the courts take decided stand and check the
rapidly growing evil, very soon all respect for
them will have vanished. Not a man who
served On that jury should ever be permitted
to disgrace the box again.

corn is higher now than it has been since 1881.
Last year the average price was % cents per

increased from 60 cents to S4 cents, while a
like advance is shown in rye, oats and buck

get more jurors who have little sense, instead
of lot of lunk-heads who are put on as re-
ward for political services, there would be
fewer verdicts to be denounced. This is the

be still higher before spring. A Kansas man
who made fortune off his crop was asked how
he grew them so successfully. He replied: 81
planted them and then 'tended,them." The
"tendin'' part is the secret of success in every
thing.
