generally to farmers.
The association earnestly appeals
to the farmers, planters and fruit
growers of Maryland to arouse such
interest in the subject as will bring
together a large number of farmers
in this convention in January.
They hope that every club and as
ISOLATION Will send its delegates;
and that steps will be taken
promptly in each county to secure
a general meeting of the farmers of
such county to select representa-
tives, as proposed.
1t Is suggested that a few farm
ers in each county issue call for
such a meeting at gwen time and
place for this purpose.
1t is believed that if this conven-
ton can agree with some unanimity
upon desirable legislative action in
aid of the interest of agriculture,
the now arousing spirit of expect
ant concern will lead the incoming
legislature to consider favorablv
and enact as laws what may be pre-
sented as the means of advancing
and promoting this most important
of the States industries.
The association also appeals to
the, local newspapers of the State
for their aid in arousing the atten-
ton Of the farmers of their respect
i've sections to the great importance
of such action as it is thus proposed
to secure.

Cyrus West Field was born at
Stockbridge, Mass, Nov. 3Oth,
1919. After an education in his
native town, he entered a counting
house in New York, and became in
few years the proprietor of a large
mercantile establishment. Retir-
ing from business in 1858, he be-
gan to turn his attentions to the
subject of ocean telegraphs, and
was instrumental in procuring a
charter from the legislature of
Newfoundland to establish tele-
graph from the continent of Ameri-
ca to that colony, and thence to
Europe. For the next thirteen
years he devoted himself exclusive
ly to the execution of this under
taking. He was actively engaged
in the construction of the land line
of telegraph in Newfoundland, and
in the two attempts to lay the sub
marine cable between Cape Ray
and Cape Breton. lie accompa-
MED the expeditions of 1857 and
1858, fitted out to lay the cable
under the Atlantic and took a
prominent part in the expeditions
of 1865 and 1866; the complete sue
cess in the last named year being,
in great measure, due to his exer-
tions, in the course of which he
crossed the ocean more than fifty
times. He received the unanimous
thanks of congress, with a gold
medal, in commemoration of the
successful enterprise and at the
Paris exposition he received the
grand medal. Since 1877 he has
been prominently connected with
the elevated railways in New York
city, and has been president of one
of the companies.

would conduce to economy IN time
as well as energy. When six horses
are required to haul load of hay
to market something is wrong
somewhere.
Finally, the methods of road
repairing practiced all over this
country have no relation to actual
road building. Sewing on patches
would never make a coat. There
must be the skilled work of the
tailor in the beginning or the gar
ment could not exist. So in the
road building is there needed the
assistance of the engineer and
skilled workman to put the particles
together and form the completed
whole.
These are but crude suggestions,
yet they signify the track which
discussion has blazed through the
wilderness of chaotic opinion upon
the question of road-making.

Maryland State Farmers associate

Maryland State Farmers Association
The Maryland State Farmers AS
ISOLATION was organized in elgteen
hundred and eighty-six, with view
to some united action of the farm
ers of the State, for the advance
ment of the interests of Agriculture
throughout the State.
Its plan of organization provides
for an annual convention, in city of
Baltimore on the second Wednesday
of January in each year, for the
discussion and consideration of all
questions touching the welfare of
agriculture. This convention is to
be composed of delegates from each
Farmers Association, Farmers
Club, or Agricultural Association
in the State. In addition to dele
gates from such organizations, the
farmers Of each county are author
lied to hold voluntary meetings and
choose as their representatives in
conventions, as many delegates as
the county has representatives in the
General Assembly of the State.
The annual meetings thus far
held since it's formation, have been
composed of earnest and intelligent
farmers; and by comparison of
views, and discussions of topics, the
Association has thus been success
full in doing something for the pro-
motion of the agricultural interests
of the State.
The outlook for the future of ag-
riculture encourages the expecta
ton of improvements and advance
from the depression which has ex-
listed for some years; and it is now
all the more to be desired that the
annual meeting in January next
shall be largely attended, and by
representatives from every section
Of the State, with view to united
action by tho entire farming class
to secure proper and needed legis-
lation In its aid from the coming
General Assembly.
1t is proposed to have the con.
vention sit for period of at least
three DAYS; its proceedings begin
ming with the annual address Of
the president Oh the first day, an
address by the Hon. the secretary
of agriculture, on the second day,
and further addresses on fruit Gull
ture, stock breeding. commercial
fertilizers and other subjects by
competent speakers on the third
day. The convention will FURTHER
consider the subject of legislation
to secure the improvement of our
public roads; o new assessment law,
and an equitable system of taxa
ton, adapted to promote the agri-
cultural interests of the State, as
we'll as other matters of interest

DON PEDRO De ALCANTARIA,
ex-Emperor of Brazil, has died in
exile: but he dies with the respect
and affection of the very people
who dethroned him, and leaves be-
hind him good name for all time
to come. His death will put an
end, for a time at least, and until
his grandson is old enough to act
for himself, to what is called Sabas-
tianism in Brazil-the restoration
of the royal family. Dom Pedro's
daughter, the Countess d'Eu, is not
popular, and her husband is cordi-
ally hated in Brazil. There will
be no attempt to seat them on the
throne of Dom Pedro.

Governor Mckinley and Protection.
In the entire series of recent
State campaigns, that of Ohio was
the only one in which was promi-
nently brought to the front the is
sue between protection and self
styled "reform. In other States
the success or defeat of candidates
can be traced to local considera-
tions, which failed to align either
of the great political parties on a
distinct national issue, or to call
from either its fullest possible vote.
Not so in Ohio. There the issue
was boldly made by putting to the
front the author of the avowedly
protective law now in force, indors-
ing the spirit of that measure in
the convention platform, and ex-
tolling its results by speeches in
every neighborhood of the State.
Opposed to Major Mckinley was a
prominent statesman, who had
avowedly served former party affili-
ations by reason of his preference
for the non-protective policy of
Golden, Cleveland & Co.. and who
proclaimed the virtues of his re-
Gently acquired faith with the pro-
verbal earnestness of the new con-
vert.
And the result was the same that
has invariably characterized the de-
cisiOn of American voters whenever
the question of protection for do
mestic industries or the free use of
our markets for foreign competitors
has been passed upon. A vast ma
jority of American voters believe
in protection, and can be relied on
to so vote, when led to believe that
the protective features Of our tariff
laws are in danger of repeal or such
modification as will rob them. of
their recognized efficacy. The
overwhelming majority for McKin-
ley in Ohio is but additional evil
dence of fact that finds emphasis
in every page Of political history
wherein is recorded the untrameled
expression of American voters.
1t would be impossible to secure
for the tariff question more promi-
nence in political campaign than
was given to it by the platform and
canvass of Mckinley in Ohio, and
it seems equally impossible to ig-
more the significance of the MAORI

ton to home industries was there

German, Nov. 80, 1891.

There has been great mistake
made by the old board of county
commissioners. l am in favor of
economy, but not in road levies :;
there has been too much of that
kind of economy already. | hope
the new board will consider this
matter as believe they are all men
of good judgment. Think of the
difference in the wages of the la
borer and the register. The labor.
er gets $1.25 per day and works on
the roads from morning until night;
the register gets 81 per day for wrl-
tlLg few names. Here is where
the law should be changed. l think
the wages should be $3.50 per day
and then the supervisors could get
good men and their work would
show. say have a law passed al
lowing laborers 81 so aud the wages
of the register reduced to what is
right.
We often hear people say they
would not live in Garrett county.
1t we ask the reason they say we
have such badroads and poor schools.
That is true. What is the cause of
this? Why economy used in the
wrong way. | say make a sufficient
levy for the roads il it does raise
the taxes little.
| would like to hear from someone
else III regard to this matter.

For Better Roads.

To the Editor of The Republ can.
Last winter there was an agitation
on the school question, and a Ion
ger term of school is the result.
Now l think that we ought to take
up the road question and see what
we can accomplish IN that line. 1t
seems to me that we ought to have
better roads. To look at some of
the old roads, it seems that the peo-
pie in former years, in locating a
road, when they came to a hill, tried
to see how quick they could get to
the top, consequently We have some
roads so steep that 1t takes four
horses to pull two-horse load up
them. A great many places of that
kind could be changed at small cost.
Why not have On increase OF a few
thousand dollars in cur road levy,
and make better roads? ItmaY in
crease the tax to some extent. but /
think that most every Taxpayer
would rather pay little more tax
for few years, in order to have
better roads. Let US hear from
every taxpayer on this subject.
Yours respectfully,
TAXPAYER.

Marion G Defeats the Eastern Crack for
Big Purse.

CHICAGO, August 22.-The mighty east
was humbled to the dust today in the
Garfield stakes before western crowd
of $4,000 people. 1t had been arranged
that the famous swayback Tenny should
uphold the honor for this city, and much
regret was expressed today that Tenny's
temporary bad form prevented the plan
from being carried out. Nevertheless a
remarkable contest 1t was conceded
would of necessity ensue with Kingston
in splendid condition, being chased by
the Kansas City crack, Verge dor, the
California record-breaker Aloha, and the
Kentucky beauty, Marion @.

There was no delay at the start, the
horses moving in perfect alignment
passed Mr.. Chinn and after few strides
Marion C. showed in front with the
others nicely punched. Passing the
stand Kentucky's pride was half a
length before Aloha, who was Tapped by
Verge Dor, with Kingston length
away under heavy pull.
THE RACE BEGINS.
When Strengthened out down the back
stretch Overton sent Verge dor for
ward, and was leading Aloha by half
length, Kingston and Marion g. head

horses thundered down the back stretch
Hamilton let Kingston out and the
brown horse closed up TO the leaders.
Making sure for home Aloha's nose
peeped in front of Verge Dor with
Kingston scant length away, Tapped by
Marion G. Fitzpatrick now began to
ride for dear life, and inch by inch Ma
rion worked to front, and Hamilton rode
Kingston furiously, but it was too late
and hard pressed. The Kentuckian
passed under an easy winner by clean
open length from Kingston. Aloha was
third, length and half away, while
Verge dor galloped in badly beaten.
The time was IS, the quarter being
made in .25, half in 81 three. quarters in
