IRoNTON, Mo-, Dec. It'll, 1891.
Ed. RegiSter-In your last issue you did
me great wrong by publishing an article
which was false all the way through, and L
want you to correct it. As to the game of
poker between myself and travelling man,
these are the facts: A peddler and profess
sional gambler stopped at the hotel, with
gamblers outfit. Some of them l knew
nothing about, and he undertook to instruct
me in the games, showing me several gam
biers' tricks, and finally bantered me for a
game. After he had insisted on my playing,
I consented to, and in the game l came out
winner. If he had beaten me he would have
taken my money, the same as | took his. L
then gave him back So and paid his hotel bill
out of my own pocket. On learning that
Mr.. Kaths had been shooting off his mouth
in abuse of me, and knowing his general
reputation as a tyrant when he had an OPP
portunity, because of his wealth, l went to
him and finally slapped his face for him, and
for which 1 went up and paid my fine and
costs. The professional was hunting soft
snap, the same as Mr.. Kaths does, and don't
fail to take the money, either, when he gets
the advantage.
It is we'll known that Mrs. Schmitz, the
landlady of the hotel, has been quite sick for
the last nine weeks, confined to her room,
and not able to attend to business. My wife
(AIrs. Schmitz's daughter) and myself have
been assisting her during her sickness, and
on learning from her physician that she must
give up business for while, she secured the
services of myself and my wife to run the
house for her until she was able to take
charge herself-not as renters, but for her.
To save rent on the house was living in, l
moved my household goods IN the hotel
where our work was. Then came Mrs. Rus
sell mentioned aud agreed TO purchase GER
tain amount of furniture, &c. OF course
expected some compensation for my NOV
ing and the loss OF my situation for the
winter, &c, which would not have been OBJ
iectionable to Mrs. Russell had not Mr.. Kaths
demanded an advance of $40 per month rent
from her over what Mrs. Schmitz has been
paying him, and at this dull season Of the
year-the rent now being nearly 90 per cent.
on his investment, he wanted to make it
more than that. This is what disguised Mrs.
Russell aud caused her to rue her bargain
and throw up the whole business. When
Mr.. Kaths finds soft snap he always bites
at it, but, like the professional, sometimes
gets bit himself. He has been fortunate
enough to make money out of it. l have

The Everlasting Hog Question.

Ed. Reqister-I understand that there is
a city ordinance against the running at large
of hogs.
II there is no. there should be. In some
portions OF the city, especially that west OF
the courthouse, life is now, and has, for
years, been made burden by Resling's
hogs. They litter the sidewalks by their
wallowings, create sinking cesspools, breed
ing fees without number, opening gates and
breaking through fences. In view OF the
nuisance to the people, these hogs should be
restrained.
Mr.. Kesling has farm near town, and it
would be no hardship to him to keep his
hogs there. We hope the "City Dads" will
look to it. No one can deny that it Injuries the
repute of our town among strangers. j.

Democratic Primaries.

Democratic primaries will be held this
afternoon to elect delegates to county con-
veniion to meet in this city next Monday,
which convention will select five delegates to
the judicial convention at Annapolis and
nominate candidates for local offices.
The contests for preierment are more nu'
merous than ever before in the history OF the
party in Carroll in recent years. In addition,
combinations far reaching have been made,
and the attendance at the primaries will en-
brace three fourths of the Democratic voters
of the county. There is nothing n-Demo-
cratic either in the contests or the combina-
tons. The contest now is for individuals.
After the nominations the contest will be Tor
principles. The rivalry is now-or ought to
be-a friendly one in the family, and there IS
no reason why it should not be. Every
Democrat has IA right TO exercise his Tree
choice among aspirants, and there is no eX-
cuse for luminosity or bitterness. The candl-
dates are all Democrats, holding to certain
principles, and no matter who are successful
Democratic principles will be applied to gov
eminent in event of Democratic success IN
November. After nominations are made III
dividualism is lost. The candidates then
stand for and represent principles, and every
voter who desires the triumph of Democratic
principles will support the ticket as presented
by the duly accredited delegates of the party.
We again, and at this last opportunity,
counsel against undue interest in iavorites so
that disappointments may not be too sore
While friendly rivalries are unobjectionable,
bitter contests are un-Demoeratic. Demo
Gratis should not oppose Democrats, except
fairly, honorably, and in good spirit, and no
Democrat ought to participate in the prima-
ries unless he intends to abide the result and
give earnest support to the ticket. Every
Democrat who takes part in the primaries is
in honor bound to bow to the will of the ma
iority and sustain the successful aspirants.
Every unsuccessful candidate, too, is in honor
bound to give the ticket active support after
it is made up. Each would be much disap-
pointed, if, after nomination, his rivals should
sulk or refuse to give the ticket cordial sup
port, and each would characterize such sulk-
ers as soreheads and declare that they were
not Democrats. Don't go "out of politics"
because you failed to reach the goal of your
ambition. The rather, go to work for the
ticket and show that your Democracy is not
measured by place aad revenue, and that you
hold party and principles above SELF The
candidate who cannot do this ought to retire

Wheat at s1.25 Per Bushel.

Wheat sold up to $l.1s per bushel in Chi
cago and New York on Monday. A sharp
rise took place on Friday Of last week, and
another on Saturday. On Monday and Tues
day there was much excitement in the ex-
changes, but the price dropped to $l.0S.
There were sharp rises in the price of rye and
corn also, the former going up to SLIP per
bushel, an advance of thirty cents in about a
week. The cause of this was an order from
the Gar of Russia prohibiting exports Of rye.
Russia will have but little wheat to export,
and in other European countries the crops are
short. 1t is estimated that the world supply
will be 400, 200, 900 bushels less than usual,
and the general opinion is that the price will
go TO $l.25 or $3.50 per bushel. The cropin
this country is the best for some years, and
we shall reap great profits from the situation.
If we had our high wall of protection lowered
and fair trade regulations with England, Ger
many and France, our whole surplus would
be readily taken and at high figures. Agri-
culture will never prosper until we reverse
our policy. If we close our ports to foreign
commerce, foreign countries will not buy
from us except when forced to by impending
famine

A hundred or so of Republicans will meet
in convention at Ocean City next Thursday
and endeavor to get some man with ''barl"
to consent to become candidate for gov
ernor. None but rich men have been solicited
so far. All the most desirable ones have de-
clined, for the nomination means an empty
honor and the planking up of good sum for
the boys. Col. Vannort and Lloyd Lowndes
are now mentioned, and the probability is that
the former will accept. II. NJ. Clabaugh, of
Carroll, is wanted as a candidate for At
torney General, and he may be pressed into
service, though he does not want the place.
as he is aware that an acceptance would mean
the expenditure of considerable time and
money, and the campaign would close with
him buried under 10000 majority.

Crop Reports.

LONDON, Aug. 20.-The Chronicle Berlin
correspondent takes dreary view of the
situation. He says: September promises
failures of small and big farmers as well as
of city merchants. Home growing rye is
mostly fit only for manure. The substitution
of wheat for rye in the army would not be
easy, as it was proved in the war of 1870 that
the Prussians lost their stamina from a regime
of French wheaton bread.
1t is said that Finland has stopped the ex.
port of rye.
The German Minister of Finance is asking
for the suspension of duties on corn for three
months.
Owing to heavy advances made by German
merchants to Russia, in April, for rye to be
delivered in September, they are losing heav-
lily, and many failures are feared. Rye is
advancing rapidly and wheat declining in
price.
PORTLAND, Indiana, Aug. 19.-The grass
hoppers are on the increase, and are playing
havoc with everything green. Dan Kelly of
New Corydon threshed 124 bushels of oats
and in that quantity of grain there were
twenty four bushels of grasshoppers. The
leaves are all being eaten off the peach trees,
and even the fruit itself is devoured, leaving
the bare seeds.

A Cedar Rapids, Iowa, despatch says that
never before has that State harvested such a
crop of cereals as it will this year. All the
railroads are building large number ofgrain
cars in order to be prepared for the business
when the movement of grain sets in.
Harvesting is well under way all over the
Northwest; says despatch from st. Paul,
Minnesota, and the minimum product of Min
nesota, and the Dakotas will be Is, 200, 600
bushels. The lack of storage facilities will
compel the great majority of the farmers 10
dispose Of their grains soon, and transporta-
ton facilities will be taxed to their utmost.
The Michigan weekly weather report shows
that the weather of the past week has been
generally unfavorable to corn, potatoes and
beans, rain being greatly needed in the north.
ern and western sections.
The continued drought in the central
and southeastern counties of Wisconsin rem
ders the crop prospects very discouraging.
A despatch from Belvidere, Illinois, says
that, owing to the heat and drought, it is
doubtful if there will be one quarter OF crop
of corn.
