The tariff conference bill passed the
Senate on Tuesday by vote of 33 for
and 81 against. Three republican
senators voted no; Plumb, Petigrew
and Paddock. A change of s more
votes on the republican side would
have tied and defeated the bill. AS
Cleveland's famous tariff message was
the gauntlet that challenged the repub-
lican party to battle in 1888, so this

To the Voters of Cecil County.

The Anti License League of Cecil
County was organized for the single
purpose of defending the prohibition
law as it now is. This is therefore
strictly defensive league. II de-
MAIDS noLhing but that which we
have already. Believing the law, to
he good and to be for the best inter
ests of the people we ask that it be
let alone. Is this reasonable or
fanaticai? Are we asking anything
that is unjust or that is adverse to
the prosperity and happiness of the
people? If we are. let the friends of
the license law demonstrate the fact.
Let them openly explain to the peo-
pie the benefits 10 be drived from
licensed bar rooms and saloons; The
value Of money spent in these places
to the wife and children; the value to
parents whose sons are to be exposed
to the temptations of licensed dram
shops, and the value to both fathers
and sons of this same temptation.
We oppose what we believe to be an
evil, and if there is any good in it
we demand that it be pointed out, il

if there is moral value in dram

dram shops have proved blessing

But it is said, prohibition does not
prohibit, and therefore it is better to
have licensed and regulated bar
rooms than illicit dealers. Are
licensed liquors any less apt to make
drunkards than unlicensed? Did the
license law Of ten years ago tend to
sobriety and morality? Was it not
violates altogether as much as the
present law is? Was it in fact good
law, and if so why did the people
demand its repeal and prohibition
substituted for it?
And if it was curse to the people
ten and four years ago, what has
occurred since to make it desirable?
Are dram drinsing, drunkenness and
dehauchery lesser evils now than
then?
Again, it is said that the present
law entails a heavy expense upon the
county. Without admitting this to
be fact, but whether it is or not, We
reply that every thing of value is
costly. To suppress crime of all
kinds is costly; churches are costly;

A Female Bull Fighter.

The heroine of the hour just now in
Lisbon is German girl, Fraulein Jo-
hannah Maestrick. Fraulein Macs
trick was born near Berlin, but went
with her parents as child to Portugal.
When she was seventeen an impress
sario, struck with her size and beauty,
offered to train her as a female bull
fighter. The agent sent his pupil, who
is not yet twenty, to compete at the
show of female beauty which took
place this spring at Lisbon, when she
carried off the first prize. The adver-
tiselnent proved an excellent one, for
ever since the impressario has been
bombarded with letters from all classes
wishing to know when the beautiful
'ttoreran is to make her debut. She
mas not yet appeared iD an arena, but
last week she came out in trial fight
at Oporto. A huge crowd collected to
see the unusual sight. The young lady
quickly laid two bulls in the sand and
strobe off, followed by q band of music,
amid thunders of applause. Crowds
of people collected before the windows
of the hotel at which the "torera" was
staying, and far into the night she was
obliged to appear on the balcony in
response to the calls for her.

If it is a sin to steal a pin it is still
worse to cause other men to curse by
reason of getting pricked in handling
papers carelessly pinned together.
Evidently this is the opinion Of Mr..
Carlton Hillyer, the well-known audi
tor of the Georgia Railroad company,
for he has the kindly thoughtfulness
to send out to his correspondents a

reads as follows

HARRISON NOT A WINE-BIBBER,
This is Called the Dryest Administration
Since Hayes.
| From the New York World. I

From the New York World ..
CLEVELAND, o., August 25.-There
has been some controversy among the
various temperance organizations over
the question as to whether President
Harrison was Wine-bibber. Some of
the disputants have stated that the
quantity of wines consumed in the
White House was disgraceful. In order
to get at the true inwardness of the
matter Mrs. Ellen J. Phinney, of this
city, President of the Non-Partisan Ma
ton w. c. T. u, recently addressed a
letter to Mrs. Lydia H. Tilton, Presi-
dent of the District of the of Columbia
branch of the Union, asking her to
furnish the bottom facts.
Mrs. Tilton has replied that "while
it is true that wine has been furnished
at State dinners by the present Ad-
| ministration, and by every other ex-
cept during this Administration fur
nished wine the example of the Har-
| risons, Wanamakers, Windows, Mil,

f1uence. Scarcely any of the men
selected by President Harrison as his
advisers ever take wine. Blaine is now
a total abstainer. President Harrison
does not take wine at any of the recep.
tions, and Mrs. Harrison never under
any circumstances anywhere takes
wine. Never since the days of Mrs
Hayes has so little wine been taken al
public official receptions in Washing
ington during the present Administra
tion."

Got Its Board Out OF the Log.
lChattanooga News.1,

The following is related by Frank
Wyatt of Rome, Ca, who has been
visiting relatives at Martindale, On the
Chattanooga, Rome and Columbus
Railroad, about thirty miles south of.
Chattanooga. Frank used to attend
Sunday school regularly, and iscon-
s!dered a truthful boy, without much
mulhattonism flowing in. his veins. He
says:
"My cousin owns watermill, and In
removing some distractions found an
immense log imbedded in the stream,
which must have been submerged for
number of years. The log had to be cut
in two to remove it, and much to our
surprise we found it hollow, although
it had every appearance of being solid.
One of the negroes while examining
the log looked into the hollow and
thought he saw something moving.
He began using his axe, and soon had
| the log cut into another place.
"Inagine our arazement when we
discovered a live catfish which had
grown to an enormous size and length,
and was so completely wedged in the
hollow as to be unable to move except
to open its mouth and wiggie its tail.
The fish was very lively and apparent
ly IN the enjoyment Of excellent
health.
"The question is how did the fish. get
| into the log, as the only means of ing
ress or egress we could discover was a
| small, round hole not more than two
inches in diameter. We surmised that
he must have entered into little open
ing when no larger than ,ninnow and

ment.n

Gen Bonham acted with rare judge


ment and conspicuous gallantry at the
battles of Blackburn's Ford and Bull
Run. Gen. Lees "great reliance" on
his "discretion" was not displaced, and
Gen. Beauregard, in his official report
of the battle of Bull Run, returns
thanks "to Brigadier Gems. Bonham
and Ewell and to Col. Cooke and the
officers under them for the ability
shown in conducting and executing
the retrograde movements OH Bull Run,
directed in my orders CT the Sth of
July-movements on which hung the
fortunes of the army"
Of the conduct of his men Gen. Bon
ham thus reports of Gen. Beauregard:
II shall find it difficult to do justice to
the fortitude, the patriotism and the
steady courage of the officers and men
composing my command, though their
hard labors of several weeks in the
trenches at Fairfax Court House; the
falling back from that place to Bull
Run and their occupation of the trench
es for four successive days through all
changes of weather, much of the time
without food and entirely without cov-
ering; their readiness to meet the foe at
any odds at Fairfax and the willingness
to encounter Eim at all times at Bull
Run command my highest admira-
tion."
Gen. Bonham was in turn called
thence to received the highest office in
her gift-that Of Governor of South
Carolina. At the expiration of his term
as Governor, in 1864, Gen. Bonham re-
turned to the Confederate army, in
which he was reappointed brigadier
general, and served to the end Of the
war.
Broken in fortunes but not in spirit
he resumed the practice oflaw after the
war, served in the Legislature in 1865
and 1866, and in 1865 was elected dele
gate to the National Democratic Con-
vention. His valuable services to the
State as railroad commissioner, which
office he held at the time of his death,
are we'll known and need not he dis
cussea here.
Among the most conspicuous figures
at the recent ceremonies at the unviel
ing of the Lee monumedt at Richmond
was the tall and soldierly form of this
veteran soldier and civilian of the dead
Confederacy, and very warm was the
greeting he received from his old Caro-
lima comrades and his many distin-
gushed associates of the Confederate
Congress and the Army Of Northern
Virginia.
The witchery Of his courtly manners,
the warmth and loyalty Of his friend
ship, his ardent patriotism, his legal
acnmen and innnressiNa nratarv renre-,
sented that type of South Carolina gen.
tleman which is associated mainly with
the past, but which it is to be hoped
will still survive elsewhere than in
mans memories and the novelist's
page. These virtues and graces were
eminently characteristic of Gen. Bon
ham, and endeared him to his intimate
friends, while they commanded the
respect and esteem of the multitude.

ment must expand the circulation
Make money cheaper by making more
of it-sorter like we did during the wa,
when it took SO to buy bunch OF
yarn and 5000 to buy pair of cotton
cards. In January, 1865, paid 5000
for little old meas!y COW that gave
about 4 half a gallon Of milk day; but
that was enough for poor little half
starved war-born baby, whose mothers
milk had dried up from anxiety, while
running from the everlasting yankees
and lodging their hirelings like scar
ed rabbit dodges the hounds. They
say We must have more money, and
they make the people believe it will be
divided out among them whether they
earn it or not-another case of forty
acres and mule. Fool the people
that's the idea. They are raising big
fuss because the national banks are not
allowed to lend money on farm mort
cages and I hope they will have that
law repealed for it is of no consequence.
No bank is fool enough to lend money
on q mortgage. Will Howard is big
banker in town--a private banker-and
he is not prohibited but I'll bet $40 he
hasn't got i mortgage in his vault.
Banks lend money on business integri-
ty with good end0rser or a collateral
that can be converted into money in
thirty days. 1t takes eighteen months
to foreclose q farm mortgage, and if the
farmer dies it takes year longer.
George Truit, of Troup country, has
made grand success at farming. The
State Alliance visited his farm the other
day and George said he began with
nothing since the war and has made ali
that he has got at farming, and that
economy and diligence and constant
care and watchfulness will do more for
the farmer than all the legislation that
can be devised. You can pick out farm
ers here there and in every county who
have by hard work got ahead and pros
pered while their neighbors have been
waiting on the Lord or luck or on the
politicians. There isn't country upon
earth where the farmer is so surely re-
warded for his industry as he is right
here. They had big camp meeting
up at Pine Log last week, and just such
a spread of good things as the farmers
took there every day was never seen
before. Such a wealth of chickens and
chicken pies, and roast pig, and mutton,
and kid, and potatoes and pies and
cakes and jellies and pickles and wine,
and all were home-raised and home
made. Will the good Lord make us all
thankful for what We have got and in
cline our hearts to quit grumbling.
