General and Senator Palmer. Of Illinois. is
now formally entered IN the Presidential race

verse. al least Of the United States. the
National Capital NAV with equal or greater
propricty be termed the political hub. Great
political movements have their origin here
and naturally too. Washington Is the official
home of the chosen leaders OF political thought
and action. Congressman coming direct from
the people meet here IN the discharge OF their
official functions and II is here that the con-
ferences. caucuses and exchange Of opinions
which formulate great political movements
take place. This applies not only
during sessions Of Congress. but ne
cessanly u considerable degree
when that body is not in session. Even dur
ing the long recess stretching from the final
adjournment Of one Congress 10 the meeting
and organization of its successor. the public
mind turns towards the Federal capital foy
correct information or advice as To the DRIFT
ing current of politics This IS entirely natu-
raj. primarily because many Of our most lnfiu-
entail public men, who. though they represent
constituencies elsewhere. are really and almost
necessarily domiciled in Washington. At all
events there is always so large an element Of
party leaders here that if any important move
ment is to be considered or discussed the
Federal capitul is selected as the most avail
able place of gathering. BY way of illustra.
ton It may be mentioned that the National
committees of both tho great parties ipysri-
ably meet in Washington to name the place
and date of the ensuing conventions.
This much by way of suggestion that
political specuiations or predictions here ale

the gossip Of other places. Hence tho sug,

candidate may be better entitled 10 consider

would have to pillow the ground for
another crop. The cyclone levelled

ed it with soil, rendering it unfit for
use. The prospect was good for over
twenty bushels to the acre, and this
is very serious loss to the farmer
as well as the owners of the land.

The New York gold ring, driven
to desperate expedients, on Monday
raised premium on gold charging
Il per cent more for loans payable
merely in legal tender than loans
payable in gold. The object of this
is to Brighten the people out of their
determination to have silver remon-
etized. 1t won't do gentlemen. You
tried to brighten them in the same
way during the war. You failed
then and will fail now. The days of
gold gamblers are numbered. You
may publish scare notices in your
big daily papers but we, the people,
will pay those large debts you hold
in silver, greenbacks or gold just as
they choose, and what can you do
about it. We take that kind OF
money without discrimination for
our property and you shall take it
for your interest and debts. You
can swap back and forward with
each other and quote gold premiums,
but you can't scare US any more
with your gold fetish.
"Wild 6nancering' has 5ecome a
stereotypcd phrase with old party
papers when referring to financial
questions, that are not endorsed by
the Jewish gold ring of London,
Frankfort and their Wall street
agents. The widest financial policy
which marks the pages of history is
that which has placed 5000, 900
mortgages ON American farms, and
rs evicting American farmers from
their homes at a rate of $4,000
annually, which is our present inan-
cial policy.

Cecil jail, Almshouse and Insane
Asylum.

Cecil jail, Almshouse and Insane
Asylum.
During the last two weeks in July,
G.. S. Griffith, president, and Rev.
Louis F. Zinkhan, the general agent
of the Maryland Prisoners Aid
Association, visited the jails and
almshouses in the nine counties on
the Eastern Shore of Maryland. In
their report they say:
s'Cecil county has made better pro.
vision for its paupers than any of the
Eastern Shore counties. The aims
house is delightfully."- situated on a
beautiful farm and with healthy sur.
|roundings. and is conveniently
located. The buildings are in excel
lent condition, and the management
everything that could be desired.
The insane department is a new
building erected few years ago
under the auspices of the lunacy
commission, and it is model of its
kind. The twenty.four insane in
mates are well cared for. The only
Improvement we would suggest here
is to have few large iron CRATES put
in the high board fence surrounding
the yard, so that the inmates who
spend so much time here might be
able to look beyond their narrow
confines.
"The Cecil county Jail is a fine
structure and well kept, but it should
have been placed on higher ground.
The building is damp, and at the
time of our visit there were two feet
of water in the cellar. Ofthe sixteen
prisoners two are insane. and we
should see no reason why they
should be kept in jail. One of them
has been there many years, and the
other several years. Neither one is
vicious, and as the county has such
well equipped insane asylum, they
should at once be transferred. There
is certainly no warrant in law by
which insane persons can be kept in
Jail for years and years. This evil
should be remedied at once.'
They report 16 persons in Jail, and
Al in the almshouse and insane
asylum.
