The Recent Elections.

The tide of Democratic victory is sweeping
on through the West. Last week they car
ried Chicago by a majority of II 900 and in
Milwaukee they elected their candidate for
mayor by 5000. The issue in the Milwaukee
election was not tariff reform, but it was upon
the right of the State to prescribe what
studies shall be pursued in private or
parochial schools. The people decided that
the State may control the public schools but
not those supported by private means.
On Monday the Democrats made extensive
gains at the charter elections in Michigan.
They elected judge Of the Superior Court
and number of other officers in Cincinnati
and came near electing majority of the
councilmen and board of education. They
made large gains in Cleveland, Ohio, carried
Bridgeport, Conn.,, Toledo, Ohio, Fort
Wayne, Ind, Columbus, Ohio, and Evans
vile, Ind.
Indianapolis, a Republican stronghold, has
elected the entire Democratic ticket. This
Is rebuke to President Harrison and Speak
er Reed which will doubtless cause them to
ponder deeply.
The Democrats also carried number of
other towns in Ohio, but it would not be safe
to assume that Ohio il already Democratic
State.
In Kansas the women cast about two-ffths
of the votes, dividing between the two parties
In Edgerton, in the same State, the wo-
men carried their ticket electing their own
sex to every office voted for, including "coun-
cilmen."

Business Affairs in Hartford.

The dependency with regard to business
affairs which seemed to possess many per-
sons in Hartford county, last week, has given
place to a more cheerful feeling. Indeed,
there is no reason why any farmer or business
man should take gloomy view of the situa-
ton by reason of the events which have tran
spired within the past two weeks. All of the
business enterprises of the county are in as
complete and unembarrassed operation, as
they have been at any time within year rast.
The Hartford National and the Second Ma
tional Banks of Bel Air and the First Nation
al Bank of Havre de Grace, while necessarily
careful in assuming risks in discounting
paper, are always prepared to accommodate
their regular customers as well as to meet
the demands of depositors. They are all well
managed BY careful and prudent officers and
directors and are not involved by any trans
actions of the State Treasurer.
The same may be said of other Hartford
county enterprises, such as the Bulett Car
rigea Works, the Susquchanna Paper Mills,
the wilma Spoke Factory, the Mutual Fire
Insurance Company, &c.
The projectors of the Bel Air Water Pow
er and Light Company also show no signs of
weakening, but have received bids for the
new water works and will in few days
make contract, under which they hope to
have water introduced into the town before
the next summer is over.
The unthinking assertion of few persons
that Hartford county is ruined is the veriest
nonsense. Our county feels the effect of hard
times, brought about by the failure of our
canning industry and the general depression
in agricultural produce, increased here by a
partial failure in the crops last year. This
is enough it, is true, but beyond this there is
no cause for alarm and no reason why any
one should lose confidence in any of the mon
etary or financial institutions of the county.

The Assessment Bill.

Governor jackson, we are told, hesitates
to sign the assessment bill passed by the Lee
gislature. The Real Estate Exchange of Bal
timore city is in favor of the bill, believing
that real estate in that city is unequally
assessed, many of the smaller class of houses
being assessed too high while those of a
more expensive class are assessed too low,
thus shifting large part of the burden OF
taxation from the owners of large houses to
those who own or live in small houses.
On the other hand new assessment is Wig
orously opposed by the Board CT Trade and
many influential citizens, including business
firms, bank presidents, &c. The argument
used against new assessment is that con-
stitutional amendment is to be submitted to
the vote of the people in 1891 charging the
basis of taxation, now confined TO real and
personal property alone, and the certainty of
wide and radical. changes in our system OF
taxation, in case the amendment is approved.
A new assessment, it is argued, would be ex-
pensive and inconvenient. The opposition
to the new assessment is not confined to
either political party.
The drift of opinion in Hartford county is
unquestionably in favor of new assessment.
Farming land here is at least 30 per cent.
lower than it was fifteen years ago. Our as
sessable basis has decreased, not because
Hartford county is becoming poorer but be-
cause property is drifting out of the hands of
the farmers and into the hands of capitalists.
A new assessment, it is believed, would
not only equallze the assessable basis but
would increase it. Let US have new assess
ment by all means.

In this age of push and worry, the business

to devote any adequate time to exercise. In the
daily round of toll and pleasure, no suitable pro-
vision is made for that important function, and
the result is that men of sedentary habits be-
come subject to many forms of ailments arising
from q torpid or sluggish liver. Constipation,

due to the improper action of the liver. DIR.
