Improving the Elk and Susque-
hanna Rivers.

A Baltimore daily of last Saturday con-
tanned the following: Representative
Stump yesterday called upon General
Casey, chief of engineers, to consult about
certain proposed improvements in Elk
river and in the Susquehanna above
Havre de Grace. The citizens of Port
Deposit are afraid that unless an addi-
tional canal is cut through the fats, above
greatly injured in the event of an ice
gorge. II is proposed that TIE chief of
engineers shall recommend survey for
the new channel, so that Congress may
be asked to appropriate sufficient money
to make the desired improvement. 1t
appears that there is no difficulty about
the navigation of the river at the point
named, as the channel is sufficiently deep
for the vessels engaged in the ira ffic there
The additional channel is needed to re-
lieve Port Deposit and vicinity from the
dangers of an overflow in case of an ice
gorge. The question in the mind of
| Gen ,ral Casey is whether the government
has the power to open up new channels
to prevent ice gorges when nothing is
said of improving the navigation of the
river in question. Mr.. Stump has asked
Messrs. Tome and Hopkins, of Port De-
post, to call upon General Casey and ex-
plain the condition of affairs more fully.
1t is necessary to have the chief of en-
giaeers recommend a survey before a re-.
quest for an appropriation can be prop
erly asked for. MIR. William NJ. Siugerly
Of Philadelphia is especially interested
| il the Elk river improvement, and it was
a his instance Mr.. Stump called the at
te ltion of General Casey to the subject.

Our farmers are live energetic men and
don't take it any more than a slur on
them to talk about having potatoes the
first of August. dist allow to have them
before that.
There is talk of several weddings in
our midst. One young man has farm
rented, and another has been trying to
purchase house. But he let the widow
get away with him. Tommy says it did
him good to see them bid. What is a
few hundred dollars for cage when you
have nice bird to put in it?
Judging from recent item in mid
weekly paper. some of our farmers would
like to eurtail the appetite of R. T. aDd
his boys. We think it would be time
enough to advertise jobs asparagus in

line he will furnish at short notice.
George and Alfred have some fine spec
linen of wild cattle that were captured
with difficulty ia the lower part of the
County.
Zion correspondent of an Elkton paper
evidently does not have time to collect
items or he would send in new ones oc
casionally, instead of a repetition of the
same each week.

Star Chamber Methods,

The most important work CD done at
Annapolis this week was the selection by
a Democratic caucus on Wednesday
night of a committee of eleven to which
is to be referred for secret action all
matters or measures that the Democratic
party is pledged To. This means the car
rying out Of the managers program in all
legislation to be expected this winter.
When the party whip cracSed the faith
full party hacks responded, but to their
credit be it said there was bold, though
unsuccessful. opposition led by Mr.. Poe,
Mr.. Writ, Mr.. Laird and others. This
action means that a secret CAUCUS manip-
ulated by the managers will take out of
the hands of the regular committees Of
the Legislature all such vitality impor-
tant matters as assessment and taxation,
control Of corporations. liquor licensing,
registration and elections, all of which
should be openly discussed and decided
in an open Legislature. The Baltimore
Sun correctly says: I'm the critical con-
dition of the party's interests in this
State nothing more rash and injudicious
could we'll be attempted than return to
the methods of the past which public
opinion has 80 repeatedly condemned and
rebuked. 1t is to be regretted that the
resistance was futile. By a vote of AZ to
% the caucus decided upon programme
which goes step further in partisan au
daoity and disregard of the common
rights and interests of the people than
anything we can now recall in the his
tory of political manipulation at Annapo
lis. This, too, in the face of the remon-
strances and earnest opposition of such
loyal and active members of the party as
Senators Brattan, Brown, Poe and WHIT,
and Delegates Laird, Carter, and those
| who voted with them. The practical eff
feet of the caucus action is to commit
such vitality important matters as regis
tration, elections, assessment and taxa
ton, liquor-licensing and control of cor
porations, which ought to be discussed
and decided in full view of the public, to
| a caucus committee, which will formulate
its views in secret and report them to the
caucus, which likewise sits with closed
doors. In other words, all the serious
business of the Legislature, in which the
people of the whole State are deeply con-
cerned, is taken out of the hands of that
body, which, if the programme formally
adopted is adhered to, will have nothing
to do but accept the cut-snd dried decis-
ions arrived at in secret session of AZ of
it's members. or little over one third of
the total vote. Could anything be more
undemocratice Could anything contrib
ute more to bring the party into dis or,
just time when public opinion is more
thoroughly aroused than for years, and
determined to insist upon reforms?"
