Prohibition Party Campaign.

The Prohibition party will open
their canvass in Cecil county at Elk.
ton ON Thursday. Oct, /, to be fol-
lowed by a meeting at North East on
Friday afternoon and at Cecilton on
Friday evening. These meetings
will be addressed by DR.. Boole of
New York. DR.. Boole is detailed by
the state central committee to adj
dress the above meetings and is one
of the best speakers of the prohibit
tion party. Aside from the question
of prohibition the election In Cecil
county this fall ls of very great i'm
portance and appeals to the citizens
to choose with discriminating judg'
ment the men they send to the legis.
lature and place in the Office of
county commissioner. We challenge
a comparison from every point of
view in the matter of fitness the can
didates for offices with those filling
similar places on the other party
tickets, and if the honest judgment
of the voter controls his vote we
have no fear of the result.
We urge all who possibly can. to
attend these meetings and hear DR..
Boole. Our canvass is not one of
brass horns, clap trap dead issues,
and appeals to party blgotry and
prejudice. but an appeal to reason
with live issues and the dangers
aud abuses that menace all and
affiict all. Our cause is not the cause
of mere party hut the we'll being of
the whole people. In the name of
sobriety, of morality, of honest
government we appeal to the people
without distinction of party.

Dear money and cheap labor is

Dear money and cheap labor is

Cheap money and dear labor is the
demand of the wage Garner and

1t is profitable for the capitalist to
purchase large quantities of labor

To Dance Before the Queen.

Fashionable circles are much ex
ercised as to the identity of four
pretty American girls who have
arrived 10 London to dance minuet
before the Queen. Their chaperone
refuses to give their names, but says
they are well known in the best New
York society. A picture, however,
is printed in the October number of
the New York and Paris Young
Ladies' Fashion Bazaar, entitled,
"Pretty Girls Learning to Dance the
Minuet." which gives some clue to
their identity. Society of the fair
Americans is to wear q dress similar
to the one illustrated and marked
number eight in the colored plates
of the magazine which has partly re.
vealed their personality and set
fashionable circles agog. The
young ladies have been venturing to
ask the privilege, which has been
granted, of dancing it before Her
Majesty.

whats the Matter Anyhow

The way the unterrifed are
organizing" clubs and "appointing'
meetings, an observer might suppose
they were somewhat frightened.
Meetings are announced to take
place in and all around Elkton. On
Monday next q ringtail roarer is
announced at Elkton to be held in
the Fair grounds. The Hons. to be
there is fairly stunning. There is
the Hon. Arthur P. German, Hon.
Barnes Compton, Hon. Frank Brown,
Hon. John P. Poe, j. Frank Fork
and NJ. deK. Smith.
What is the matter anyhow? Which
ticket are you afraid Of boys? Is it
the Republican or Prohibition ticket?
Something has frightened them or
why all this rattley round?

Cut and Slash.

The vacancy on the Prohibition
ticket caused by the withdrawal OF
W. T. Miller, named for commits
sioner is filed by the appointment OF
W. W. Nickle of Colora. A good
man for the Office. There are three
good men for commissioners put up
in this part of the county, Messrs.
John 2. Wilson, VIM. Cameron and
W. W. Nickle, and if the taxpayers
as well as all sober people who may
not pay tax in this part of the county
don't vote for them they will not
show wisdom commensurate with
their age. They ought TO receive
every vote IN the upper districts.
Their past present party affiliations
should count for nothing. The peo-
pie want three good men in the COM
missioners office. It's a matter of
bread and butter with taxpayers,
and not barren politics.
The voter will have to make his
own ticket this fall and he can select
party politics and sentiment
aside as the corporations and ex-
ploitingclass do and depending on bis
commonsense-good men for the two
most important offices from the three
tickets. The Legislators are very
important officers and farmers should
depend on the men of thei. own class
to fill that office. The movement to
place an independent ticket in the
field was procrastinated till the time
slipped by when such ticket could
be successfully made. The people
were ripe for an independent ticket
and it would have swept the county
there is no doubt of that. The
best that can be done now is to
select candidates from the tickets
nominated and choose the best men
to be had for the different officers.
and the two offices of the greatest
importance are the legislature and
commissioners. Choose relentlessly
but choose wisely.

of steel in one of his eyes few years
ago while watching man grinding a
tool. The steel did not give the boy

Its way finally into more sensitive
part and caused so much pain that an
operation was necessary and the eye
was removed and replaced by glass

an eye as far as other people are con-
cerned, but the owner can't depend on

Faith was the subject of Rev. Father Corcoran's
discourse last Sunday. The text was taken from
the thirteenth verse of the eight chapter of
Matthew-"Go, and as thou hast believed, so be it
done to thee" The speaker said that it was
sometimes surprise to us to see the Importance
given to faith in the gospel; there is hardly a
page in the whole gospel but what makes mention
of it. This may perhaps surprise us because we
are apt at times to think there are other virtues
OF as great Importance; yet it should not, for all
other virtues are based upon faith Our faith in
one another and in affairs of the world may change
with the change of circumstances, but not so with
regard to our faith in God. We as Christians be.
lieve in Gods word divine law. We believe in
the truths proclaimed. st. Paul tells US that with.
out faith it is impossible to please God. Men will
not be condemned for what they do not know. He
sent Jesus Christ to teach men the way. and if
they are lost by not following Him it will be their
own fault. If a sick man refuses to take treat.
ment because he has no faith in doctors and
he dies. he is responsible for his own death, We
must say that this man killed by his unbelief
So too is it with man in a spiritual sense-if he
is lost it will not be because he had no means of
salvation God has not left us to grope after Him in
darkness. He has given us the power of reason
wherewith to examine the evidences Faith and
reason compliment each other. Nature is full of
mysteries, and there must always remain some
things beyond our comprehension. We have faith
through reason in many things that we do not see
or understand. Faith is not simply a shield of
unreason. Faith is the only thread that will lead
us out of darkness. But faith alone is not sufi.
clent to save us-it is only the foundation-good
