Some idea of the enormous harvests this year
in our Western country may be obtained from the
fact that the transportation facilities for moving
crops, hitherto deemed more than adequate, are
just now choking in distress. The port of Buffa-
10, the entrance of the Erie canal, is blOckaded
with grain vessels, 100000 bushels of wheat being
atioat in the harbOr awaiting transportation to
New York. The congestion is such that the canal
will be kept open until midnight of December 3,
or five days later than the date originally an
nounced. When the canal closes the railroads
must carry the crops from that point unaded.
The Buffalo Courier says that large percentage
of the wheat crop must remain unfOrwarded un-
til spring while the corn crop, which is three
times larger than the wheat crop, has not even be-
gun to move

THE NEXT GOVERNOR.

We have watched with much interest the
contest for the Gubernatorial nomination,
which has been waged for so many months
in Maryland. last the matter has mar
rowed down to three names, from which a
choice must be made, namely Mr.. Frank
Brown, of Carroll county; Mr. James
Hodges, of Baltimore city, and Mr. Spencer
g. Jones, of Montgomery county. an4
The SENTINEL has RETAINED, hitherto,
from the advocacy Of any one of these gen
tlernen, preferring to watch the course OF
events. inasmuch as We thought our intiu-
ence would be but small with the powers
likely TO control the nomination.
As the time for making selection draws
near, and Montgomery county must declare
her choice, we deem it proper to state that
in our Judgment Mr.. Jones should receive
the cordial support OF the people of this
county. AS matter OF local pride, this
feeling is a natural one, and Mr.. Jones is un-
doubtedly the peer of either OF tue other
aspIrants for the position. As public Off
ciaI he has shown himself TO be pains
taking, industrious man, and his personal
character gives assurance that he would dis
charge the duties of the high Office To which
be aspires with constant regard for its
dignity and the welfare Of the State. i.

VOLUME XXXKIL.

With this issue the SENTINEL enters upon
its thirty seventh year.
Encouraged by the success that has at
tended its management during this long
period, and deeply appreciating the very
generous support 1t has received at the hands
of its patrons and friends, the SENTINEL
will continue in the future as in the past,
to illustrate and enforce sound and compre-
hensive political and moral principles, and in
general to do all in its power and legitimate
scope to cultivate and advance the best in
terests of our people and the ge neral well
fare OF the county and State.
Few men, we apprehend, are aware of the
responsibility and difficulty of a well con-
Quoted and healthy newspaper in this pro-
gressive period of our country, where
everybody reads, and so many borrow the
tone and character of their opinions from
what emanates from the press. 1t has grown
to be the medium through which the pub
lie thought is reached and controlled. 1t
finds its way into the homes of the rich
and poor, into the shop of the artisan, the
offices and counting rooms of men OF trade
and business and at the firesdes of the great
industrial class, and silently works its way
into the confidence and conviction of its
readers. If this assertion be true-if the
newspaper is the school of the people, it
should increasingly labor in the direction
not only of the peoples material and moral
interests, but it should endeavor to educate
them up to standard of such excellence
that will elevate them not only to know
how to make laws, but be masters of that
higher knowledge which enables them to
obey the law. In this channel the SENTI-
MEL has earnestly endeavored to keep, re-
gardless of any criticism to the contrary
Its efforts may have been weak, but they
have been given with an honest intention
of purpose.
The advertising columns of the SENTI-
MEL have in themselves been marvellous
record of what the hundreds of our friends
need, and furnish silent exchange whose
value and absolute necessity the whole com
munity comes gradually, by personal ex
perience, to understand and value
