City and Red Wing last night after max
ing a successful search for all the sur

vania, Rhode Island and Connection Of
both the old party papers and their election
machinery, they count on, and will undoubt-
eddy get, the same powerful aid TO carry
their amendment article in Nebraska. If
the people of Nebraska succeed in beating
the whiskey ring in that State it will be IN
spite of both political parties, as parties,
with all the money of the whiskey power at
their back. The first assistant postmaster
general, Mr.. Carkson's paper, The Ioua
State Register, is an active supporter of the
movement to overthrow the prohibition law
of that State, and introduce high license.
With such substantial encouragement In
high place it is not strange that the liquor
power should inaugurate a movement to
make prohibatory laws unconstitutional. IF
they succeed in this their next step will be
TO make all speaking and publications
against "the trade" sediton or libels on the
business, punishable by fine and imprison-
ment. This is the direction in which we
are travelling, under full head of steam.
The whiskey power declare they will cover
the State with greenbacks if necessary TO de-
feat prohibition and engraft a high license
clause in the constitution of Nebraska.

High License in Nebraska.

Nebraska was the first State to try high
license, in 1881; $1,000 is the license fee in
the cities Of that State. The ext eriment of
years has been dismal in results, and the
last legislature made provision for a change
in the constitution. Next November the
people will vote ON the question whether an
article shall be engrafed in the constitution
prohibiting the sale of alcoholic liquor or
prohibiting their prohibition.
There are two amendments to be submit
ted at the same time, one prohibiting the
sale of liquor and the other declaring tina.
the sale of liquor shall be licensed in the
State. If the second amendment is carried
it will make license mandatory, and 1t will
thus destroy Local Option throughout the
State. 1t will make prohibatory laws un-
constitutional.
1t will he seen that the liquor power is
beginning to assume the aggressive course.
The liquor interest is no longer content with
a defensive policy, but is going to try to
place in the constitution of Nebraska an ar
ticle that will destroy all laws which forbid
the sale of alcoholic drinks anywhere in
the State. AS the liquor power had the
active support in Massachusetts,, Pennsyl-

A Chickens Devotion.

A correspondent of La Nature, a
French scientific journal, relates that his
young brother had made pet of a
chicken of the Houdan variety. Every
morning in coming out of the house the
young man brought with him handful
of crumbs or of grain or of something
else that chickens like, and little by lit
tie his Houdan pet acquired the habit of
following him about the place.
In grove near the house there was a
bench. When the young man reached
this bench he invariably seated himself,
and the fowl, jumping up by his side,
picked the food from his hand and was
petted by being stroked on the head and
back.
This had gone on for quite long time
when the young man left home to go to
college. For the first day or two the
chicken seemed not to be inconsolable
over the loss of its friend, but took its
food with the rest.
After a few days, however, the fowl
seemed to become aware that its friend
was not coming back, and it was seized
all at once with an unconquerable mel
ancholy. 1t fingered morning after
morning under the windows of the house
as if waiting for its master to come out.
Finally it betook itself to the bench
where it's master had been accustomed
to feed it, and there it remained, its head
under its wing, almost motionless, day
and night. 1t was useless to try to tempt
it with food; the chicken refused to look
up when the most tempting handfuls of
grain or dough were thrown down be-
fore it. Its eyelids were closed, and its
intention to die of hunger was SO evident
that it was deemed mcrciful to kill it.

Missegenation Currency.

Some years ago an chronological genius
wrote book in which he treated sub
ject he termed missegenation. His theory
was the production ofa perfect species of
the human race by a scientific combination
Of the four races of the human family, the
white, black, yellow and red, in which the
bad elements of each were to be eliminated
and only the best qualities, physically,
morally and mentally, retained.
Some modern fnanciers are suggesting a
monetary system something similar to this
missegenation theory by combination OF
the National Bank system, with the old
state bank and wild cat, red dog methods.
The present National Bank system, which
has been such fat thing for the bond hold
ing and specializing class, is rapidly drawing
to close and must entirely disappear with
the payment of the National debt. What
to substitute for this double interest system
is the query uppermost with these gentle.
men, and they have hit upon the following.
The banks under the new plan are to be
charted by the states, and in place of gov.
eminent bonds the banking company shall
use state and corporation bonds as collater.
ais, by which their issues of bank bills shall
be secured. The banks then would buy up
state and municipal bonds bearing interest
at 10 6 per cent, issue bank notes to the
amount of the face value of the bonds or
nearly so, draw interest on the bonds from
the treasury Of state or municipality and
loan their notes TO the people for as much
discount as the business would bear.
What splendid system this would be
for the wildcat bankers. In place of one
national currency. ten thousand different
currencies would be in circulation, and
when bank bill wandered hundred miles
from home it would be at discount of one
to ten per cent or more as used to be the
case. What splendid systems of improve
ments would be inaugurated. Cecil county
road bonds running 40 years at per cent, a
100000 of them. The State banking COM
pany of Rising Sun, The County Bank of
North East, The Susquehanna Bank of
Port Deposit, The Head of Elk Bank of
Elkton, would all be egar bidders for the
bonds. They would sell at premium sure
and more would be wanted.
Now this would be splendid alliance of
the old democrrtic states rights, the black
leg, wildcat, red dog and National Bank
financial systems all in one, and would be
clearly entitled to the euphoneous name OF
the Missegenation Financial System. We
are not little surprised TO see the Appeal
endorsing this democratic State Rights can
didate for popular favor. But politics is
accustomed to strange bed fellows,

Do you know who Kate Field Isl?
She is lady of no inconsiderable
literary ability, of foreign travel and

use in the families of the elite and

Giant Spiders of Ceylon.

Far up in the mountains OF Ceylcn ana
India there is spider that spins web
like bright, yellowish silk, the central net
of which is five feet in diameter, while
the supporting lines, or guys as they are
feet long, and riding quickly in the early
morning y III may dash right into it, the
stout threads twining around your face
like lace veil, while, as the creature
who has woven it takes up his position
in the middle, he generally catches you
right on the nose, and, though he seldom
bites or stings, the contact of his large
body and long legs is anything but pleas
ant. If you forget yourself and try to
catch him, bite he will, and, although
not venomous, his jaws are as powerful
as birds beak, and you will not forget
the encounter.
The bodies of these spiders are very
handsomely decorated, being bright gold
or scarlet underneath, while the upper
part is covered with the most delicate
slate colored fur. So strong are the webs
that birds the size of larks are frequently
caught therein, and even the small but
powerful scaly lizard falls victim. A
writer says that he has often sat and
watched the yellow and scarlet monster,
measuring, when waiting for his prey
with his legs stretched out, fully six
inches, striding across the middle of the
net, and noted the rapid manner in which
he wound his stout threads around the
unfortunate captive. He usually throws
the coil about the head till the wretched
victim is first blinded and then choked.
In many unfrequented dark hooks of the
jungle you may come across most perfect
skeletons of small birds caught in these
terrible snares, the strong folds of which
prevent the delicate bones from falling
to the ground after the wind and weather
have dispersed the flesh and feathers
from the body.-Exchange

Opposed to the Australian Ballot
Law.

At the call of Chairman Archer of
the Democratic State Central Com
mittee meeting of country Demo-
cratic editors was held at the Hotel
Rennert, in Baltimore, on Monday
night. Senator German presided
and instructed the editors to oppose
an Australian Ballot Law. MIR.
German said where it had been tried
the law had proved injurious to the
Democrat party. This admission
and advice from the slippery Senator
shows pretty plainly that he believes
he holds tue high office of U. S. Sen
ator by ways that are dark and tricks
that are vain. We noticed that none
of the Democrat editors from Cecil
were there. Germans ways don't
suit Cecil editors and Australian
Ballot Laws. We hope the Cecil
members will show manhood enough
to help secure an Australian law.
The Democrat party is strong enough
to take care of itself in Maryland
without any dark lantern bosses of
the German stripe.

License Facts.

The Voice collect and collates
numerous statistics bearing on the
liquor traffic. 1t is the only paper in
the country which expends time and
money in this business and the dark
objects brought to light 5y these re-
searches into the hidden ways of
"the trade" are often startling. In
the issue of December 26th a table of
70 high license and low license cities
is given. The following is a sum
mary of the result:
Al high license cities having an
aggregate population of 4,756,O0O
with an average license fee of 1865,
had 1925 saloons. SO low license
cities with q population of 1857 900,
with an average license fee of 1922
have 25,7S3 saloons, about double as
many saloons to the population.
The arrests for disorderly conduct
in the high license cities were 121,-
877, and in the low license cities
l22,l7O a difference of only 3O2 in a
series of years covered by the table.
These statistic show the false claim
set up by the advocates OF high
license and the fact that the papers
which are intent in foisting on the
public this deception carefully avoid
publishing any statistics which show
the fallacy of high license, convicts
them of deliberate intent to de-
ceive. The Baltimore american is
the leading paper in Maryland en-
gagged in this Internal, false business.

"There are two reforms that no

Charge ofthe Gallant One Hundred.

Nhd1 30 Va bhO ~ ol404b S4O AAAAAA OO'
Mr. Henry Stockbridge, Sr, who
was detailed by the committe of the
Zone Hundred gentlemen and bus
mess men of Baltimore to pre-
pare High License Bill. submitted
his work to public inspection at the
Concordia House last Friday night.
The bill takes in both city and State.
1t resembles the Yankees perpetual
motion, an ingenious contrivance,
full of wheels, springs and cams,
counter weights and fine adjustments,
and is about as sure to work as the
Yankees perpetual motion or the
flying machine.
This Baltimore machine is not
new, but has been tried in hundred
places, always with the same result
that awaited the perpetual motion,
but the Baltimoreans appear to think
that Stockbridge has presented them
with somthing wonderful and new.
The highest license named in the
Bill is $1,000 as the license for SELL
ing tue ardent in the city and $500
for beer. In the country the highest
grades of license are $500 and $500.
In remote places in the country the
licenses shall be $500 for the ardent
and $3.50 for beer. In the discussion
which followed the reading of the
Bill, MIR. Reed argued that it was
the original intention of the commit.
tee to suppress low groggeries and
other places that might be termed
nuisance. This clause the license
clause in the Bill he said, embraced
dlstillery breweries, rectifying estab
lishment, and places where liquors
are sold at wholesale; the managers
of such concerns it would not he ex-
pedient to antagonize. Mr.. Reed
stated that he knew that every brew.
er was interested in the high license
movement, and would do everything
to have the bill passed, but with such
a clause as the aforesaid it would
prove very hostile to the bill. A
motion was made that all wholesale
establishments, breweries or rectify-
ing houses be excluded in the bill.
Mr.. Reeds argument was we'll re-
ceiyed, and the amendment was
passed by reclamation.
So in place of this much Wanted
high license temperance measure
being in the interest of morality and
temperance, it is wholly measure
dictated by the rich brewers, distil-
ers and wholesale liquormeI.
And the republican party of Mary
land are placed in the attitude of
championing it in the hope of secur
ing and holding the rich whiskey and
beer interest for the party. The
party leaders are afraid of the liquor
power but don't regard the wishes or
sentiments of the temperance people
any more than the bark of the liquor
party's dogs, which all results from
the uniform survilepolitical action
on the part of temperance people.
AS long as they stick to the party
ticket the whiskey men will rule it.
When they begin to kick vigorously
you will hear something drop, which
will be when temperance voters say
to the party, drop the liquor party or
we'll drop you, then you'll hear it.
