CALLED MEETING.
The City solons Will Meet at the
Hall Tonight.
They.Win Consider Free Postal Delivery
And Any Other Business Coming
Before Them.

Mr.. Wilde, the postoffice Inspector,
was driven over the city last evening
in company with C. III. Bailey and
Jno. Marable. The object was to
give the inspector a correct idea OF
the city and to impress him with the
need of a free delivery system.
The gentleman is well pleased with
the city and says the free delivery
system can be in working order here
before two months if the city author
tiles will do their part. There is no
trouble about that. Mayor Lyon
handed a LEAF-CHRoNICLE reporter
the following this morning:
CALL MEETING.
hereby call meeting Of the
Board of Mayor and Aldermen for
1880 o'clock tonight to consider the
free delivery system and any other
basiness that may come before the
Board G.. A. LIGON, Mayor.
The above call was brought for
ward at the request of several of the
Aldermen, who are in favor of hav-
ing the houses numbered at once,
and of having the names of streets
placed at all intersections. This will
consume some little time and consid-
cradle careful work. The greatest
care will have to be taken in the
matter to guard against any future
complication.
The Board of Aldermen want the
free delivery system the citizens
generally want it, and there is no
doubt now that they will have it. The
resolution looking to having the
houses numbered will pass the Board
by reclamation and the work will be-
gin as soon as practicable.
JnO. Marable is employed to-day
making a map of the city to be used
by Mr.. Wilde in making out his re-
port. The point that he is working
on now is to find out the number of
carriers needed. He thinks he can
get the postal authorities to give the
city four.

The Springfield Herald says The
farmers in this county were never sc
dilatory and unconcerned about
making a crop as they have been III
to this time.
The wheat crop is recovering from
the recent cold snap; will not re
cover sufficiently to make as full
yield as it would have made perhaps
had it not been so far advanced be
fore the cold snap came.
There were several plant beds sown
last week between showers.

J. Ellen Fosters Contingent.

The Elkton w. c. T. U. advertises that
it has ''severed its connection with the
National W. G. T. u, and become auxii.
larry to the non partisan National Woman IS
Christian Temperance Union" The fol-
lowing reasons are given for this action:
1.-The Elkton Union has taken this action
because the members believe the political
policy of the National w. G. T. U. to be
wrong in principle, contrary to the letter
and spirit Of the original constitution, illog-
ical IN its reasonings, inconsistent in its
conclusions and exceedingly detri uental to
the cause of temperance. Being of different
political beliefs they desired no longer to be
auxiliary to an organization that year after
year pledged their influence to particular
party. On the broad platform of non.
sectarian and non-partisan temperance work
they invite the cooperation of all people of
whatever creed or party"
The above proclamation of secession is
published by one of the officers of the Elk
ton branch of the Union but how many OF
the members join the officer We have not
learned. The history of this sererin9 con-
nection business started with one of the legal
lights of the Union in Iowa, named J. Ellen
Foster, who is female lawyer, and who
was employed by the Republican managers
to make campaign speeches in the fall Of
1888. After the election of Harrison she
went to Washington and stuck by the dis.
persers Of ublic pap for favors rendered
till she got $4,000 Office for her husband
Mrs Foster badgereI the W. C. T. U. to
take her view of political matters of endors-
irg the republican party when it did not de
care for rum and keeping mum wi ca il did:
in short to become silent auxiliary of the
Republican party, encourage its members
to go out for pay and advocate the election
of high license candidates, such as Warner
Miller.

and Sale Of Liquors in
Sealed Packages.

The recent decision of the Supreme Court
Of the U. S. in the Iowa appealed case in
favor Of the liquor party, reversing the
judgment Of the supreme court of Iowa, is
disturbing The more timld prohibitlonists,
more than the consequences of the decision
merits. The purport of the decision is that
under the Interstate Commerce powers
vested by the constitution of the United
States in the Federal government, shippers
from other States have the legal right
to send liquor in sealed packages into
prohibition states or counties and their
agen axe empowered 10 sell it in the un-
broken original packages, regardless Of
State laws. Three of the Judges of the
Supreme Court held adverse opinions,
which shows there is strong grounds for
doubt on the question, and it rests with the
people to strengthen the opinion of the
minority and force change by securing
special act by Congress making it illegal t,
ship into and sell liquors in States where its
sale is prohibited by State law. 1.-THE
liquor men are disposed to take the fullest
advantage of this decision, it would be at
tended with great deal OF Inconvenience
and trouble, and altogether with not very
profitable results to the saloon keeper. In
place of Encouragement, it should rather
act as stimulus to renewed activity on the
part of all who desire to prohibit the liquor
traffic by urging the passage and enforce
ment of prohibitory laws in State, county :,
and even districts ever SO small. Opposition
in every shape to the traffic strengthens
public feeling against the trade. And this
fact should be kept steadily before the pub.
lie in this county, and the present prohib-
itory law of Cecil be endorsed by heavy
majority next November. 1t il important
that the majority be sweeping so that no
candidate will dare go before the people, in
the fall of 1891 for the legislature, who is
not pledged to the repeal of the clause which
the liquor party has fixed in the act to be
voted on next November, which makes it
obligatory to hold ''local option" election
every four years. Let delegates be sent to
the legislature in 1891 pledged by their
party in advance to repeal that obnoxious
clause, which requires an additional election
expense Of one to two hundred dollars to
the county every fourth year.

are tempted into. Drunken men about a
place or on the public highways is repulsve
to every sober person. Every business man
is robbed, either directly or indirectly by a
saloon in neighborhood. The family of
the habitual drinker, if an ordinary laborer,
is always poor and in need of every com fort
and necessity. The money goes to the
saloon that ought to be paid to the mer-
chant for groceries and clothing. Credit is
plead for by the distressed wife, and all
such debts are dead loss. The farmer suf-
fers if he parts with produce to the family
and il is hard 10 refuse-whose natural
protector loses his money by the Unsuitable
saloon. The moral status of the drinkers is
lowered and the whole community must
share the injury. The children of the
victim of the saloon are robbed of schooling,
and ignorance is imposed upon them, the
effect Of which is far reaching into the
future. The evils which flow out of the
open saloon spread and multiply in every
direction, while no person has yet been
found who can name single benefit that
emanated from The saloon. If licensing of
evil could be defended on moral grounds,
it is condemned on economic; the pittance
furnished by licensing vice is swallowed up
in the damage resulting from it, and out.
weighed ten fold, in the expense incurred
directly from it.
Let no one be deceived by the shallow
sopbistry that the license paid by saloons is
a contribution to public taxes. The crime
il sends out eats up the tax il pays many
time. Neither be deceived by the oft re-
peated lie that prohibitory laws do not
prohibit, and that more liquor is sold and
drank where such laws exist, than where
the saloon ia licensed. This is too silly to
answer seriously, If il were true the liquor
men would all be against license and in
favor Of prohibition to help their business.

definite plans for the campaign that has

saloon power. Let the saloon be hurled
back from this county with an emphasis in
the force of the blow that will cause the
friends of the destroyer to despair for the
future. No man with any degree of cantlor
that does not admit the great benefit which
prohibition has brought to every citizen in
the county. There is no one in commu-
niiy that does not suffer from the open
saloon. The farmer suffers often in his
household, aud if fortunate to escape in this
respect he is constantly the victim through
his hired help who lose time frequently in

Papain and Thailin in Cancer,

The anonymous correspondent of The
Lancet, whose suggestion of the COM
bined used of papain and thallin in can
Ger was noticed in recent number of
The London Medical Recorder, turns out
to be DIR. j. Mortimer Granville. He has
since supplemented his first statement bv
further communication, in which he saws
that if the solvent or digestive power of
the papain is to be brought to bear on
the morbid growth it must not be ex-
hausted by being first mixed with food.
He therefore recommends very frequent
administration of the papain and thallin,
and their combination in the form of
pills. The aim is TO get absorption of the
drug, not local action on the stomach.
In cancer of that organ DIR. Mortimer
Granville gives, besides the pills, papain
suspended in water with thallin and an
alkali.
With the view of further preventing
exhaustion of the papain he directs that
the patient shall be fed as exclusively as
possible on vegetable diet, and that the
pills shall be taken before meals or in
the interval between them. He has not
found that the thallin given as described
exerts any injuriously depressing effect
on the organism as whole. The vital
ity of the morbid growth seems to be
depressed by saturation with the thallin
and papain locally; this is effected by
applying strong paste of two drugs in
combination, or, where practicable, by
their Injunction. The results obtained SO
far are said to be encouraging, and
"make it clear that the method will de.
serve full and fair trial by the profess
sion. London Medical Recorder.
