it has an advantage in giving margin Of
20 per cent, while the national banking act
gives only 10 per cent. Tie constitution
gives Congress the right to leeislate for the
general welfare The farmers have nobly
but not wisely hid their wounds and con-
cealed their discomfort, but by this course
they are surely tending to financial ruin.
Those that oppose the bill argue that it is
unconstitutional and class Legislation, but
it is not nearly so much SO as the national
banking act. It is thousand times more
for the general welfare as it is to relieve a
needy and dependent class, but the largest
class in the government; whereas the bank
ing act is for only few comparatively.
The adoption Of the sub-treasury scheme
would of course cheaper money, as 1t would
remove the power to oppress. 1t would,
however, do violence to no one, since it
would simply tend to tighten the burden Of
the producer.
Gen. Stackhouse spoke for nearly an
hour, and throughout his speech was atten-
lively listened to. His arguments We're
strong and forcibly put. Gen. StackhouSe
is an able speaker, but much Of the ettec-
tiveness of his speaking is lost by confining
himself too closely to his manuscript. He
should throw his manuscript aside. The
day was extremely hot, and the close atten-
ton paid by the densely packed house was
quite compliment to Gen. Stackhouse.
The speaking was held in the court house,
and there We're present about five hundred
persons.
Our notes Of the speech are necessarily
brief and incomplete, and by no means do
Justice, but our readers will nevertheless
find therein considerable food for thought.
Mr.. S. E. Ingram moved that this meeting
endorse the sub-treasury bill. The motion
was unanimously adopted, after which the
meeting adjourned.

in the face of such testimony we are
ready to say that in all the world there
is not so good 4 blood medicine as this
remedy. The cures are simply mirac-

The readers Of the ZINES will be pleased
to learn that there is at least one dreaded
disease that science has been able to cure in
all its stages, and that is catarrh. Halls
catarrh cure is the only positive cure now
known to the medical fraternity. Catarrh
being a constitutional disease, requires con-
stitutional trea tment Halls catarrh cure is
t,,ken internally, acting directly upon the
blood and mucous surfaces of the system,
thereby destroying tie foundation Of the
disease, and giving the patient strength by
building up the constitution and assisting
nature in doing its work. The proprietors
have so much faith in its curative powers
that they offer ore hundred dollars for any
case that it fails to cure. Send for list of

Gen. Stackhouse's Speech.

II the very large number of persons in
town last Friday is any indication of the
public pulse, we would say the people are
thinking more in this county than ever be-
fore. It was understood that it was to be
en- Alliance meeting, and the persons in at
tendance were principally Alliance men. In
order, however, to allow anyone to hear
Gen. StackhouSe's speech, it was decided to
have him speak first. before the Alliance
met, AID to invite the public to listen to
him.
At exactly half past eleven o'clock Mr..
James Z. Tindal called the meeting to order,
and stated this was public meeting and
would be so until Gen. Stackhouse had
spoken, after which the county alliance
would hold its regular quarterly meeting
Mr.. Tiudal divided the people into six
grand classes, each OF which was interde-
pendent. The farming interest was the
poorest represented, and the one which the
Alliance was endeavoring to advance and to
raise equal to any other class, and unless
their condition was raised the farmers would
be lowered into q degraded and unrespect,
ed class. He spoke for some time, and then
in complimentary terms introduced Gen.
Stackhouse, president Of the State Alliance.
Gen. Stackhouse at once proceeded to his
speech and first discussed the sub-treasury
bill, which, while denounced by some, was in
his opinion good and wise scheme. In 1850
the farmer owned 70 per cent. of the wealth
of the country; in 1860, so per cent: in
1880, 80 per cent; and now the farmers
owned less than 25 per cent of the wealth
Of the country. The agricultural values of
the country have, also, been constantly de-
creasing, and lands and products alike con-
tinue decreasing in value. The number of
small farms is constantly decreasing, while
the number of mortgages is increasing.
Tie farming classes live and dress poorer
than other classes, and receive less for their
labors The farmer has to live hard and
live with the most rigid economy. High
priced money and low priced farming prod
ucts hurt the farmers more than any high
tariff The strongest objection to the sub
treasury bill urged in congress was that 20
per cent. was not sufficient margin to al
low for fluctuations in the farm products
market, that these fluctuations sometimes
amounted to mole than SO per cent. This
he considered one Of the strongest arguments
in favor of the bill, as it showed to what
disadvantages the farmer was subjected in
placing his crop on the market. Could he
hold this crop a few months, the price would
60 up. Prices are always lowest when the
farmer must sell and highest when he must
buy. The saving to the farmers in one
season on one cotton crop alone wonld fan
more than pay for the building of the ware
houses, and as far rs the Northwest Was
concerned, they were greatly more oppress-
ed than We Of the South
The treasury bill is no more unconstitu.
tional than the national banking scheme:

WHERE TO Hook THE GAMEY
BASS, Last Friday the Baltimore
Sun contained a long article on fishing.
1t referred at length to the streams IN
which bass and trout abound, and in
this connection spoke as follows OF
Washington county streams:
1.-THE streams of Washington county
are fast becoming a favorite resort for
fishermen and a great many fish are
taken there every summer. Among
the streams that afford the best bass
fishing are, after the Potomac, the
Conococheague and Licking creeks
and the Antieiam, the ripples between
Harper's Ferry and Shepherdstown.
Piper's Fish Pot, dam No. 4, Big
Slack Water, below Williamsport,
Jackson's, Little Georgetown, near
Four Locks, dam No. 5, Cherry Run,
Sir Johns Run Dig CapOn and dam
No. 6. or these, Shepherdstown, dam
No. 4, Weverton, dam 5, and Big
Capon are considered the best points.
Along the Conococheague creek the
favorite points are Kemp's Mill, near
Williamsport, High Germany, below
Kemp's and Bull Hole above. This
stream is shallow and rocky. 1t can
be waded at most places, and affords
excellent fly fishing Bass are caught 10
the Antietam at Fiery's Mill, South
dam and Roxbury Distillery, all near

We hereby inform Capt. Hammond
Hunter. that we are in possession Of
the bottle containing card on which
was written the names of himself and
party who were rowing and fishing in
the Opequon, May Sd. A request was
written on the card for the finder to re-
port to his headquarters; the card con-
tains the names of three of Martins
burg's most popular young ladies the
bottle when found was floating down
the stream.
AT about o'clock Sunday morning
the alarm was raised that Mr.. James
Randall's barn was on fire the neigh
bor5 hastily assembled and began to
eXtinguish the flames that had already
consumed the strawrick, and were
spreading rapidly, 1t seems as though
the fire commenced in two places, at
the same time; in the strawrick, and
in the stable, beneath the barn. A
colt which was in the stable at the
time, was badly singed, but no other
damages are reported. The barn was
stored with hay, but fortunately it did
not catch; as the fire in the stable did
not blaze much, 1t was soon extinct,
The origin of the fire is unknown.
We notice our county is improving
more this spring than usual, notwith-
standing the depressed state of bust
ness. Almost every farmer in this
community is improving his stock,
buildings, and fencing; more fencing
has been built this spring than has
been done in several years past. The
Lemen patent fencing is rapidly tax
ing the place of the plank and rail
fence.
There is said to be more imported
stock in this section at present, than
ever was before. Mr.. J. II. Light has
recently imported beautiful French
COaeheon horse, which can be seen al
the stable of Mr.. E. S. Tabler, every
Tuesday.
Mestrs. w. H. Myers, d. w. Sny.

erons in this end of the county. Mr.
Aquilla Janney has just received foul
Jersey heifers, imported direct from
Jersey Isle. Messrs. j. H. Lemer
and L. S. Tabler have the finest mill
cows, mostly of Jersey and Holster
stock. Mr.. VIM. Hensel has the bes
hogs, they are of the Poland Chins

thorough breds in this section. Mr.

Escaped From Jail.

MARTNTBURG w. VA, May H.
About four o'clock this morning seven
of eighth prisoners confined in the
county Jail in this city made their
escape. The eight was discovered by
railroad Waterman, who happened
near the prison. The fugitiyes are
Francis Martin, Charles Harrington,
James Ford, VIM. Cross, Thomas
hurry, Albert Mark and a negro boy,
Oscar Williams. The four first men
toned were arrested in Baltimore city
and are charged with the robbery of
II. l.. Doll g. Co.'s hardware store in
Martinsburg about two weeks ago.
hurry and Mark were tramps claim
ing to be from Pennsylvania and had
been committed for disorderly con-
duct at the almshouse, and Williams
was held for misdemeanor. They
effected their escape by saving a hole
through the ceiling of their cell. In
an unoccupied room above they found
a file with which they removed the
lock and were thus enabled TO reach
the attic, where portion of the stone
wall in the gable-end of the building
was removed, and by the aid of a
rope made of strips of their blankets
they let themselves down a distance
of twenty-five feet. Just as the last
man, James Hess, was drawing him
self through the opening in the wal
he was discovered and was forced tC
retreat back into the building. The
jailor was awakened and, with Other
officers, started in pursuit of the fug
itiyes. The Jail is an old stone struct
- has long been considered
