The session Of Congress
just closed. did more valuable
work tor the country than the half
dozen which preceded it. To
again turn Congress over to the
Democratic party would be ma
tional calamity. The people
will not do it.
MIR. Lee I. Robinson, of
Putnam county, who was recently
nominated by the Democratic
party for the office of prosecuting
attorney, declined to accept the
nomination and has withdrawn
from the party. He gives as his
reason for This act that he can not
endorse Vest aud Hatch, nor is
he in sympathy with the Demo
cratic platform. His letter to
the chairman of the Democratic
central committee, is a straight
forward manly one, Eand will
have great weight with thinking
democrats. Many more are to fol-
low the good and courageous ex-
ample of Mr.. Robinson.
The only visible fleet SO
far of the recent initiation of the
currency, is a growing ease in
money at all of the financial GEN.
ters. 1t is unquestionable, how
ever, that we have entered upon a
new situation, of which q large
and permanent initiation of the
currency Is to be the chief factor.
This means a coming relaxation
that has prevailed among lenders
for some time; an accumulation of
balances in the banks, and ulti-
mately a plethora Of money that
will lead to lower rates and the
encouragement of speculative un-
dertakings. This may lead to
much unwholesome speculation
that will ultimately end in disas-
ter. Under the new order of
affairs it would be we'll to proceed
with care and invest with the
same caution as when money
commands a higher rate and is
more difficult to obtain. The ex-
ercise of prudence DOW will save
many failures in the future.

Township Organization.

Sec. 1890. Treaasurer's salary
and commissions. The county
treasurer in counties adopting or
ganization shall be allowed a sal
ary by the county court as at pres
ent provided by law. The county
collector for collecting and paying
over the same shall be allowed a
commission of two per centon ell
corporation taxes, licenses, mer-
chants tax and tax on railroads,
and five per cent on all delinquent
taxes, which shall be taxed as costs
against such delinquents and COL
lected as ether taxes.
There can be but two reasons
for township organization. One
Is to simplify the county business,
the other to reduce expenses. By
the above section it will be seen
that the Collector under township
organization gets two per cent on
all railroad tax, licenses etc.,
which sjust double the amount
allowed the present Collector.
His per cent for collecting de-
linquent tax is also greatly in
creased. Instead of simplifying
the business it only makes it more
complicated and increases the ex-
penses of the county. We have
room tor only one section of the
law this week, but there is more
to follow.

Mr.. John Keown, the worthy
postmaster at Keown, Allegheny
County, Penn, says: "Chamber-
lain's Cough Remedy sells better
than any other" The reason of
this is because it can always be
depended upon. Let any one
troubled with severe cold give it
a trial and they will find that the
first dose will relieve the lungs
and make breathing easier, and
that its continued use will free the
81 stem of all symptoms of the
cold. The rromptness and GER
tainty of this remedy IN the relief
and cure of colds, has won for it
many sincere friends and made it
very popular. For sale by Smith

was realized by saving horns,
hoofs, hair, and, in short, every
thing but the animals dying
breath. A wholesome lesson in

Ship Canal Through Cecil.

The project of building the Maryland
and Delaware ship canal is again revived
and Mr.. Richard j. Caption, who has
held stock in the enterprise, stated on
Thursday that the work would be begun
within the next ten days. The route
selected is what is known as the Sassa-
fras route. The proposed enterprise is
in the hands of a party of French capital
lists, who have organized company with
a capital of $4,000 600 to prosecute the
work. Mr.. CapiOn says the new COM
pany is in earnest, that the advantages
of the canal have been carefully consid-
cred, ard that the money to carry on the
work has been fully subscribed.
The route to be taken is that surveyed
by the late Benz. H. Latrobe, OF Balti.
more, in 1874, and is what is known as
the Sassatras route. 1t begins at the
Sassafras river, on the Chesapeake bay,
aud extends to Black bird creek, on the
Delaware. The route passes up the Ches
apeake, 39l miles from b Gilmore, to the
mouth OF the 5 .ssafras river, then up the
stream 164 miles to tide water. Then the
canal pas 'es through over two miles of
land i'll the lower part of Cecil county and
then into Delaware, entering Delaware
bay near Listers Point, 14I miles from
the head OF tide-water on the Slssafras,
and one mile from "a feet water in the
Delaware. The solid cut required for
