THE CECIL County Agricultural Society is in
rather bad shape financially. On account of
bad weather and small attendance its last fair
ran behind 81, 1856 and its total floating debt
at this time is s4,316.S9. In addition to this
sum the property of the society is mortgaged
for sl2, 800, its total Indebtedness being nearly
$1,000. The stock of the society is mostly
held by persons who own two or three shares,
bought with view to securing the privileges
that that number carry with them. Herein, no
doubt. is the cause of the society's financial
trouble

COMMENTING ON the result of the election on
the license question in Cecil county the Elkton
Necs says: 1.-THE change of popular sentiment
upon the method of dealing with the liquor
upon the part of those seriously interested in
the public good One thing is made certain
and that is the uncertainty of methods that
have yet been suggested for repression of in
temperance by legislation" Local option has
been on trial in that county for nine years.
The majority in favor of license at the late
election was 298.

In CONVERSATION with Senator German few
days ago newspaper representative asked him
if he thought the late victory would give the
Democrats the next President, to which the
Senator replied: at depends upon their course.
If they are cautious and conservative they may
expect long lease of power" The little word
'if" means great deal in this connection.
The Republican party will pull itself together
before the battle of 1892 and when ii gets in
fighting trim it is not an enemy to be trifed
with. Those who know anything know this
very well.

THE ANNUAL consumption of timber on rail
ways in this country is computed at 500, OOO,OO
cubic feet, requiring the cutting of the best
timber from over 1, 100000 acres of forest land
year. The most significant point about this
is that 20 per cent. ofthe total annual consump-
ton is taken from the young growth, and that
60 per cent of all railroad ties are oak the most
valuable of all our timber. 1t will take great
many Arbor days to repair this waste

THE STATE Grand Jury of Missouri has boldly
declared against the grand jury system, assert
ing that it is dangerous superfuity-a him
drance and delay to the administration of JUS

reputation of honorable men. That some of
these charges are well founded is beyond dis
pute but it is not likely that the system will
be abolished for long time to come. 1t might,
however, be modified to advantage and the
sooner this is done the better.
