OF INTEREST TO INSURERS.

We find in the annual circular of The Amer
lean Fire Insurance Company of Philadelphia
Pa, some very interesting figures showing
marvellous growth and financial stability of the
highest. Their total assets TO January I, 1891,
amounted to $3.50, ,394.o7 as against Sa,64a,-
669.97 year previous-and to the fact that
after paying their stockholders dividends
amounting to ten per cent. and adding to their
reserve for reinsurance, required by the in
surance departments of the several states,
Sl34,58I.I3. They increase their surplus S46,-
o92 %, Notwithstanding the shrinkage of S32,I39
in the market value of their investments, caused
by the furry in the money market during the
last quarter of the year, which shrinkage has to
a great extent been recovered. This alone
shows great care and prudence exercised in the
selection of investments, and this magnificent
showing should inspire all confidence in those
who have dealings with the American Fire In
surance Company of Philadelphia.

AMERICAN canned goods can be
bought cheaper in England than in
tine United States. The same is true of
many other American wares. What
further proof do the people require to
open their eyes to the so called ben.
efits of high tariff legislation? The
humblest laborer in the country, arm
ed with a knowledge of this fact could
annihilate in five minutes the winded
sophistry of dozen McKinleys. Gar.
field once said that the safety of the
country lay in universal education
and he was right. Garfield also said
he believed in tariff that ultimately
leads to free trade. Thanks to Grover
Cleyeland and the Democratic party,
the great body of American people are
being rapidly educated to the evils OF
high protection" and to the benefits
of true tariff reform.

WASHINGTON LETTER.

WASHINGTON, ID. e., May 20. 1891.
Mr.. Harrison has at last, it is said. braced up
his backbone sufficiently to inform mmission-
er of Pensions Raum that he must hand in his
resignation as soon as another man can be
found with some political pull who is willing
to take the place. Raum did the grand kick
act. and has not yet consented to resign. saying
that he prefers being dismissed. but he will
change his mind They all do that way. When
Tanner was asked for his resignation he swore
that he would never write it. but he did all the
same. It's easy to talk about being kicked. but
when the big hob nailed boot is raised they all
get out of the way if possible.

District Attorney, Republican, of course. has
begun to hint about The difficulty of securing G
the necessary proof to convict Raum or any of
his pals, and the uselessness of bringing the
case before the grand jury II is always diff
cult to do that which we do not wish to do.
By the way, speaking of Pension Office mat

week. A man was tried for borrowing money.

lodged under oath that he had borrowed $t2, 600
from the king of pension sharks. was one of the

Grover Cleveland condensed more
truth and practical wisdom, as well as
genuine patriotism into his Buffalo
speech than perusal of all the public
utteranees of Benjamin Harrison
would reveal. Harrison is a surface
talker merely; Cleveland is plain
talker, deep thinker, and logical rea.
soner, Harrison's sole stock in trade is
taffy and rhetoric; Cleveland is armed
with Spartan courage, honesty and
good, practical English. Harrison is a

The Coal Trade.

There seems to be surplus of stock
i'll the hands of consumers, but large
tonnage is still coming forward not
outstanding. The companies are all
running over their allotment. and
seem to evince no anxiety concerning
this fact, inasmuch as they are all in
the same boat. In reality, so long as
prices are maintained, and it is con-
ceded fact that they are so rigidly, 1t
makes little difference what the
tonnage is. We hear of scarcity of
cars. This agglavation. so prominent
ly manifest every fall, promises to be
more marked than ever this year,
owing to the large grain traffic which
has already been contracted for.-En-

A club in Homecoming known by the
name of "Star,' from which paper
down there was chrstened, which is
not strictly en- regle in journalistic

could lick Frostburg's "Bowery" team.
Accordingly, last Saturday the
"Stars'' came no with a bumptious
array of retainers, hackers and
coachers, and hied away to the old
Association grounds, where erelong
they were joined by the inyincible
"Bowerys." The game was pronounced
lone of the finest by some city boys
who know a good game when they
see one. OF course, the "Bowerys"

The death and burial of Mrs Mary Doub,
was one of the sad affairs of this community
last week. Mrs. Doub was formerly Miss
Mary Gruber, daughter of Isaac Gruber, Esq,
OF this place. and was highly respected and
much admired by a large circle of friends.
She had been a sufferer for some time at her
home in Frostburg, Md, and was taken to
Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore for
treatment, where she died. Her remains were
brought to this place and buried in our
beautiful cemetery on Sunday. The funeral
was the largest seen in our town for many
years, showing plainly the high esteem IN
which she was held. The burial services
were conducted by Rev. DR., Gambrill of
Baltimore, assisted by Rev. Gayer, of Zion
Lutheran Church.
