propose pledging their crops for temper
rary loan direct from the government, Of
legal tender notes similar to national bank
notes, which would enable them to hold
their grain from glnlting the market, and
yet have for the time being the use Of money
to transact heir business and pay their bills.
As the grain goes gradually on the market
for use and shipping, the notes would be
returned 10 the U. S. Treasury, which in
sures the country against an era Of specula-
ton caused by initiation.
Window says such condition is needed
without attempting to suggest a plan to
bring it about. The farmers come forward
and offer to pledge their produce to accom-
pllsh the object. Could anything be more
common.sense, business like. practical and
entirely safe? The produce is now held in
the warehouses Of SPECTATORS by the aid Of
banks, the farmers propose TO hold it by a
little government assistance, not alone TO
their advantage but the advantage of every
line of legitimate business except that OF
speculation.

The unemploxed.

Herbert V. Mills, an English political
economist, in his work, Poverty and
the State" asserts that there is ''only
honest work in England to occnpy at
the utmost two-thirds of the popula-
ton" A few years ago a great crowd
gathered before the residence of Mr..
Chamberlin, in Birmingham, and ex-
planned to him that they wanted no
more charity, but work of any kind. A
Liverpool paper gave an account of the
meeting of half starved men in cellar,
at which speaker said: "What we
want is work, not work'us bounty,
though the parish has been busy enough
among us lately, God knows! What we
want is honest work"
Could any cry of children be more pa
thetic than this demand of full grown
men? And yet the same thing is heard
here and there in our own country. The
conditions are the same in kind, though
they have not fully developed them
selves. The numbers of those who have
little or no employment are increasing
from year to year; and over against the
several millions in Great Britain we are
said to have already a million here, TAX
ing the country altogether. New Eng

A Democratic reform club has beer

A Democratic reform club has been
organized in Baltimore, John S.
Writ, Esq, and Dr.. R. e. Bromwell
are members from this county and
among the incorporators. And now
every body is anxious to know what
this club means to reform. The
democratic party has been in power
in this state for twenty years, and
should not need reform. This club
is confession of outrage against
the public by the democratic party Of
Maryland, or there would be 20 use
for its existence. There is NO doubt
at all that Mr. Writ and DIR. Brom-
well both earnestly wish to reform
something that they believe to be
wrong in the methods of the pre-
dominating party in Maryland. So
did Governor Hamilton and many
other strong men of the party. But
what did they accomplish? just
nothing at all. And neither will this
new reform club
"Shall the saw lift up itself against
the hand that useth it?" The whole
is stronger than part. or the party
is stronger than any club and the
members will erelong End themselves
ciubbed by their own club. The
machinery of the democratic party
has been set to gauge and as long
as it is allowed to run it will keep in.
that gauge. 1t is contrary to natural
law that it should do otherwise. The
only way to reform" a party is to
put it out of power. No machine
can be repaired while it is running.
Gentlemen, if you can cite a single
instance in the history of tile United
States where a political party has
been reformed without tumbling it
out ofpower neck and heels wen give
it up.

Secretary Window Argues in Favor
of the Alliances Sub. Treas
ury Plan.

In his report Secretary Window says:
sThe demand for money in this country
is SO irregular that an amount of circulation
which will be ample during ten months of
the year will frequently prove SO deficient
dnring the other two months as to cause
stringency and commercial disaster. Such
stringency may occur without any specula-
tive manipulations, Of money though un-
fortunately, it is often intensified by such
manipulations. The crops of the country
have reached proportions so immense that
their movement 10 market in August and
September annually causes dangerous alb
sorption of money. The lack OF sufficient
supply TO meet the increased demand during
these two months may entail heavy losses
upon the agricultural as we'll as upon other
business interests: Though financial strin-
gency may occur at any time and from
many causes, yet nearly all the commercial
crises in our history have occurred during
The months named, and unless some pro-
vision be made 10 meet such contingencies
in the future, like disasters may be con-
fideully expected"

Valuable Property in Rising Sun
offered at Private Sale.

Mr.. Job Haines advertises ten
properties in Rising Sun and vicinity
in the MIDLAND JOURNAL to day, at
private sale. When asked why he
proposed to sell the valuable prop
erty ne had been years in accumu-
lating, and leaye a neighborhood
where strong ties had been formed
by years of residence among large
circle Of friends and relatives, and
at the risk of sacrificing the property
at what, in measure, would be q
forced sale, his reply in substance
was that he was tired of paying heavy
taxes under the delusion that he has
any protection for his person or
property IN his own county, when
juries composed of its citizens can be
found who totally ignore his testi-
mony and that of his friends, and
give full credence to the testimony
of irresponsible men, however absurd
and unreliable it may be. 1t appears
to have come to this, that creditor
cannot safely ask certain class of
men for his claim or even the interest
due him, without mourning the risk
of losing all he has by way of pun
ishment for his temerity. The man
who is never known to extend help
to his poor neighbor is the one who
always receives the praise.
1t will be acknowledged that Mr..
Haines' charge is not without justice.
Cecil County Court has become
proverbial a good place for rogues to
escape but very risky for man who
has a just cause. There are great
many men put in the jury box who
ought never to be summoned on a
jury.

The Road Question.

On our fourth page this week will
be found the conclusion of Mr.. Wirt's
able lecture on roads, which we trust
our readers will carefully examine
and if any suggestions occur to them
on the subject they are cordially in
vited to present them to the public
through our columns for considera-
ton.
We have long been convinced that
the annual expenditure on the roads
Of the county was in the nature of
interest on dear loan. 1t is all
gone with the season in which il is
applied. We need q well matured
State road law and system, and the
work executed under the direction of
engineers and by exact specifications,
and no pay to contractors till the
work is done exactly as the specfca.
tons call for, the engineer to pass
upon 1T. Contractors who furnish
all the tools and labor would then
come forward and put in bids for the
work. Farmers in the neighborhood
might deliver stone at stipulated
price per perch at points designated
by contractors or engineer. There
should be per centage Of tax for
roads raised by the State supple
mated by counties or districts. The
whole State and the business thereof
are interested in roads. The cities
are as much benefited by good roads
as the country for all the wealth of
the city is produced in the country.
A city is merely central point of
distribution and supply for the pro-
ducts ana merchandise of tne coun-
try, and where it is all tolled. This
toll is what constitutes the wealth of
the city and 1t shold pay portion
of the expense of the roads of the
State.
In the matter OF borrowing money
for the purpose of building perman-
ent roads of the State, the State
should be the borrower and at a low
rate of interest, for say 20 years,
and assess each county for The inter
est of that part Of the loan expended
in it, the whole State to raise the
sinking fund to pay the bonds at
maturity. The road tax that is
annually paid and wholly lost would
pay the interest, and we would have
good roads at no greater cost than
we have been maintaining bad ones.
10 keep good roads in repair costs
annually very little. Botch work is
always expensive and that is the
class to which our road mending
belongs.

Mrs. Richards Funeral.

The funeral of Mrs. L. Jennie
Richards the unfortunate victim of
the midnight assassin was one of the
largest ever held IN the county, her
tragic fate having created an excite
ment and sympathy which extended
far and near, upwards Of 1000 persons
filed the house and over flowed the
lawn and fields surrounding the house
of the murdered mother and MANNED
and grief stricken husband. DR..
Gayley. performed the religious rites
before the funeral cortege bore the
remains to their last resting place in
West Nottingham Presbyterian
cemetery. Three hundred and forty
five carriages lined the road and
fields in front of the house of mourn.
ing, the interest and excitement
which stirred up whole community
drawing persons for many miles
around.
Young Bran is more strongly sus.
pected of being one of the principals
in the shocking tragedy and eircum-
stances which have since come to
light serve to fasten suspicion still
more strongly on him. He denied
having been in the county at the
time of the murder and claimed that
he was in Baltimore, but conductor
Halter was taken to Elkton on Sun
day and recognized Bran as the
individual he had seen ard convers-
ed with on the platform at Perryville
on Monday morning after the murder.
Why he should go to Baltimore on
Monday morning and come back in
the afternoon, and deny that he had
been in the county for two weeks or
more previous serves to place him in
a focus of strong suspicion. 1t is
also reported that another man saw
him at Perryyille at the same time.
Frank Ferguson was arrested by
detective Otty at Newark, Del, and
taken to Elkton on Sunday. The
house he had been haunting near
lakewood in the 9Th district was
searched on Friday by deputy sheriff
Mackey but was found deserted. The
place was disgustingly filthy. Crimi
nails and filth seem to be.always close
friends. Ferguson is suspected of
being an accomplice in the burglary
and murder. His actions after the
tragedy having aroused suspicion.
Sheriff Boyd came up Monday
morning for the purpose of making
more arrests in the 9Th district, of
parties who bear bad reputation
and live without visible means of
support.
The County Commissioners Lave
offered a reward of $1,000 for the
apprehension and conviction of the
murderers.

The Good Old Times.

In every neighborhood we find few
elderly people, whose estimate of the
present seems to be gagged by extrava-
giant praise of the past. Nothing now
a-days is quite as good as it was twenty,
forty, or fifty years ago. They may
make these sad comparisons with the
daily paper in their lap, seated in
steam-heated room, snow and ice with
out and Florida strawberries at their
elbow. Around them are Injuries of
which, in their youth, they never
dreamed. They are used to them now,
and would feel outraged at their abb
sence. They know what happened all
over the world yesterday, quite as thor
oughly as they once understood the
gossip of their native village And yet
they are forever delving amid the mists
of years for something which has never
existed, except in their own remiAis-
cent fancies, 1t is very human, how
ever, to linger over our past AS old
age advances, we love repose. The
present is busting, the future unc>r-
tain. But in the past we can roam with
memory whittier we will, and there are
none to interrupt or say us nay,-Yan-
kee Blade.

They Understand Human Nature.

One reason why sharpers succeed so
well in preying upon country folks VINO
come to the city seems to be that the
strangers do not know how to say no.
They feel alone and unsupported and
they lose their nerve, SO that they may
be led to do many foolish things which
they would not do at home. This is
well illustrated at the ferry houses
Little street Arabs stand at the cross
ings in front of the ferries and accost
the strangers who have valises, saying:
''Let me carry that for you, sir?" The
smartest of them do not solicit at all,
but rush up and seize the strangers
bags, even using a little force. 1t is
noticeable that in at least half such
cases the countrymen let the boys have
their way. They are able to carry
their own burdenA and really want to
do so, but they seem to grow helpless

LYNCH LAW.
First Hanging by the Vigilance Committee
of san Francisco.

First Hanging by the Vigilance Committee
of San Francisco.
Judge Lynch first held court in San
Francisco in the year 1851. When gold
was discovered in California outlaws
and desperadoes from all parts of tho
world flocl<ed to the Pacific coast and
crime increased to an alarming extent.
In San Francisco incendiarism, burglary,
robbery and murder became so common
that the people were finally compelled
to band themselves together for self.
protection, the courts seemingly being
in sympathy with the law-breakers
rather than with the citizens. A vigil.
ance committee was secretly organized,
and on the night of June 10 in the year
named two men named Mckenzie and
Whitaker were taken from the city
prison and hanged in the street. This
for time caused the criminals to act
with more caution. In 1865 Things be-
came worse than ever. MI King, the
editor of the San FranciAAo Bulletin,
called attention to the abuses of the
city government and exposed the record
of one of the political bosses of the day
"a Mr.. Casey, who had been in the New
York state prison, Casey shot King
dead in the street and gave himself up
to the authorities The vigilance COM
mittee was again put into active opera
ton. The prison was surrounded and
the sheriff compelled to give up Casey,
together with Charles Cora, gambler,
who had shot Mr.. Richardson. the
United States marshal. The two were
given fair trial and both were hanged
in front of the committees rooms. For
about two months this extraordinary
tribunal ruled the city. 1t hanged four
men and sent about twenty-five others
out of the state. 1t even arrested JUS
tice Terry of the supreme court for
stabbing one of it's officers. Peace and
quiet were restored AMI at the next
election honest city and county officials
were chosen who relieved the commit
tee from further responsibility. Chi
