Horse Breeding for Maryland Farmers.

A convention of farmers was held, on Wed.
nesday, at Pikesville, Baltimore county, by
the Garrison Forest Grange A number OF
prominent persons were present, including
ex-Postmaster Frank Brown, Hon. Herman
Stump, Hon. VIM. M. McKaig, congressman
elect from the sixth district, Prof. Alvord,
and Prof Milton Whitney, of Washington.
The latter delivered an address on "The
Relation of the Soil to Water and the Physi-
cal Effects of Manure and Cultivation" The
advantage of cultivation, he said, was to en-
able the soil to conserve the moisture for the
use of plants
Hon. Frank Brown, ex-Postmaster of Bal
timore, and successful farmer of Carroll
county, delivered an able address. He spoke
feelingly of the depressed condition of agricul-
ture, which is largely due, he said, to the eff
fects of class legislation by Congress, the
farming interests being ignored. 1t is a posi-
tive necessity, he added, that the farmers Of
Maryland must change their general system
OF farming and thereby try to tide over the
terrible ordeal through which they are pass
ing. Maryland farmers cannot compete, in
raising grain, with the West and must turn
their attention to something else. He strong
ly advocated horse-breeding. The climate,
water and sod of Maryland, its proximity to
all the great Eastern cities he thought Of
fered inducements for this industry to Mary
land farmers. He continued
Why not form stock companies, and
purchase the finest blood that can be
secured, of all strains, and let it be
known that Maryland mans to take
her place with her sister States as a horse
breeding section. We already have num-
Der of gentlemen who are breeding horses in
a moderate way, and owning some of the
best blood in existence but we want more
We want the buyer from New York, Bos-
ton, Philadelphia, Washington and Balti
more to recognize that in Maryland he can
find any horse, of any blood, and of any size,
color, condition or speed that his most fas-
tidious fancy might desire. We will then
have our Maryland combination breeders
sales, with the horse under the hammer to
the highest bidder, without reserve; and, take
my word for it, this is a source of revenue
that should not be overlooked.
Don't imagine for one moment that there
will be an over-production of this animal, as
the production of the horse is limited by ma
ture, and the demand increases much more
rapidly than the animal can be produced.
Mr. Brown then proposed that a horse
breeding stock company be organized with
capital of 100000, and authorized the Pre-
sident of the meeting, Mr.. Edward Choate, to
enter his name for $4,000 of the stock as a
nucleus for the formation of the company.
Those present were favorably impressed
with Mr.. Browns views.
Prof. Thos. L. Brunk spoke on the "Plant-
ing and Pruning of Fruit Trees"

An Interesting Canned Goods Case

A case of considerable interest to Gamers
and commission merchants has been on trial
in the Hartford county court, since Tuesday.
1t appeared from the evidence that 81. Clay
Nelson, who was formerly Gamer near
Perryman employed Baker s. Morgan, canned
goods brokers, to sell his pack of sugar corn.
The entire pack of some II 900 or $4,000
cases was sold, by the firm, on futures, at var
ious prices, and all the parties to whom the
goods were sold took them in accordance
with their contracts, except one firm. This
firm had bought 1000 dozen at IS cents, the
firm purchasing the goods to furnish labels.
This they did not do, in consequence of
which Mr.. Nelson did not ship the goods,
constituting their failure to do SO into a
refusal to take the goods at the price
named in the contract. Mr.. Nelson after
wards sold them for 65 cents Some time
after this he made deed of trust to James J..
Archer. Mr.. Archer brought suit against
: the brokers, claiming they had made them
selves liable for the difference between S5
and So cents, on the ground that they had
guaranteed the sale and charged therefor g.!
per cent commission.
1t was commended, on the other hand, that
the term guarantee meant that the solvency
of the buyer would be warranted and nothing
else. Testimony was offered to prove this
was the general custom amongst canned
goods brokers. This testimony was ruled
out by the court. 1t was also stated by the
Judge that in constituting contracts we must
look to the intention of the parties at the
time Of the making thereof, but that the Ian
guage used by the parties in making their
contracts must be interpreted by the meaning
given them by law, and in his opinion
the legal. Interpretation of the terms sail sales
guaranteed by the broker meant that the
sales were guaranteed unqualifedly." and ex-
cluded evidence to show the usage of such
words in the canned goods trade had more
restricted and special meaning.
The case was given to the jury on Thurs
day. They rendered verdict for the plain
tifffor $216.50. Messrs. James ]. Archer and
John 8. Young appeared for the plaintiff and
Mr.. George L. Van Bibber for defendants

A Leader Of Leaders.

"a Leader of Leaders" is what the Phila
delphia Times denominates Senator Arthur
P German, CT Maryland. 1t adds:
While many rendered great service to the
country In the desperate contest to defeat the
revolutionary Force Election bill with its
countless train of sectional strife and business
paralysis, Senator A. P. German, of Mary
land, stands out before the nation as "leadel
of leaders" in the victory won for free gov.
eminent. He did not arrogate to himself the
right to lead nor was there any formal as
signment of leadership to any; but he gravi
tated into the absolute command of the Cd
position as logically as water gravitates to its
level, and there was the most cordial and
faithful support of his leadership by all en-.
listed in the cause.
There have been many great parliamentary
leaders in the varied important political con.
ficts in Congress, but it is not disputed that
Germans leadership in the battle against the
Force Election bill has never been equaled in
our legislative struggles. There have been
many men in Congress of greater intellectual
breadth than Mr.. German; there have been
holder and more heroic party commanders
and there have been disputants who could
surpass him in electrifying the country by
polished rhetoric; but no man in either
branch of Congress during more than cen.
fury, has equalled the leadership of Senator
German in the defeat of the mad policy oil
Force and Theft in national elections, and his
achievements will long live in the grateful
memories of his patriotic countrymen of every
nolitical faith
In sharply defined contrast with all the
great leadership of the past in our national
conflicts, the leadership of Senator German
stands out so conspicuous that none but it.
self can be its parallel" He displayed every
needed quality of parliamentary command as
occasion called for it. He was gentleness it,
self when it was wise to be gentle he was
heroically aggressive when dangerous ad-
vance had to be repulsed he was the master
of his adversaries in debate as the varied
phases of disputation developed; he blended
the highest Senatorial dignity with the fear
less lesson 10 the Vice President when revo-
lutionary ruling first exposed its deformity
he was ever aggressive in his strategy but
never in his unerring tactics until the hour
had come to strike a fatal blow, and then he
made the victory decisive in both sessions OF
the present Congress. The many months OF
ceaseless conflict during the last and the pre-
sent sessions to defeat the Force Election bill,
are unexceptional in our parliamentary his
tory in the confession of friend and foe that
no single error dims the lustre of the vic
tory, and the one man to whom the nation
turns in profoundest gratitude for the leader
ship that wrung victory from power and num-
bers is Senator German.
