Maryland and Delaware Reports for thu
Week Ended July 18th.

Week Ended July 18th.
The rainfall of last week for Della
ware and Maryland, according TO the
report Of the Maryland weather service,
was considerably in excess of the
normal; the temperature and sunshine
were about the average. Heavy storms
accompanied by hail and high winds on
June 9th and July LIST did considerable
damage to crops and vegetables in the
northern, central, eastern and southern
parts Of Maryland. Harvesting is almost
finished and threshing commenced. The
yield will be about an average, though
in some sections, the crop was slightly
injured by the warm wave the latter
part Of June. Tho heavy rains enabled
the tobacco growers of southern Mary
land to finish putting out their crop,
which had been delayed by dry
weather. The early planted tobacco
promising Fruit suffered from high
winds in eastern sections. Corn, grass,
and clover, in tlourishing condition.
Detailed reports from Delaware and
Eastern Shore points are as follows:

This is the right name for the free
coinage bill passed on Friday. 1t was
gotten up by a Republican, Senator
Stewart, and passed by Republican
Senate. And, if it gets through the
House, the chances are that it will be
permitted by Republican President, in
Difference to the Minneapolis platform
and to the action of that Republican
Senate, to become law. II is predicted,
with much show of probability under
the circumstances, that, in such con-
tingency, President Harrison will not
veto the bill but will allow it to become
a law without his signature; that he will
send a message to Congress saying that
while he doubts the wisdom of the leg
islation, he is willing to defer to the
action of Congress upon a long dis.
puted question.
The Senate bill is aptly described by
q Republican paper as "a free silver
coinage bill as unqualified and unre.
lieved of every saving grace as it j:
possible for language TO make it. Even
the previso that foreign silver coins
should not be brought here and dumpet
into our minis was stricken out" 1t i!

The New York HarGid points out
that the constitutional provision aimed
at preventing the choice Of both Prcsi.
dent and Vice-presidcnt from the same
state would not apply in case of the
failure of any ticket to secure ma.
jority Of the electors. In that CON
tingency it would dcvolve on Congress
to make the selection; the House of
Representatives choosing the President
and the Senate the Niee-president, and,
since the constitutional limitation afore.
said applies TO the electoral college only,
it would be quite possible for the House
to choose Mr.. Cleveland for President
and for tho Senate to choose Mr.. Reid
for Vice president, Notwithstanding both
hail from the same state. Indeed this
is what would be generally looked for.

We find in usually well informed
contemporary the statement that Presi-
denl Harrison has decided to drop the
Force bill overheard in his letter of
acceptance; not that he has undergone u
change Of heart as to bayonets at the
polls, but because he has become con-
WINGED that this sacrifice must be made
to avoid party shlpwreck. 1t is al
together credible that the information
which is pouring in upon him from
every side is to the effect that the Force
bill sis hurting him in the very places
where it was expected to do him the
most good"-because this, as Senator
Teller denounced it, "most infamous
meaure that ever entered the Senate is
repugnant to the very spirit of a
| system of government by free men but
the President can by no utterance of his
at this late day, and in the face of his
record, take it out OF the national plat
form framed by the men who placed
him in nomination, any more than he
can disavow the silver plank Of thai
same platform which, incomprehensiblt
here, is interpreted by the Montana
organ edited by his son, Russell Har
rison, to require the President to ap
prove free silver bill, should one BE-
passed; his personal judgment as to thu
viciousness and danger Of such legisla
ton being subordinatcd by the platform
to the demand Of his party.

Record, ait is the aggregate iron and
steel works of Carnegie Brothers and
Company, Limited, with capital of
S25, 100000. This magnificent creation
of national bounty employs an army
of 10000 men to fetch and carry
for it, and its battle with its en-
ployes in the attempt to hammer down
the rate of wages is carried on in the
very citadel OF protection. When it
was proposed to further reduce the

turned up the whites of his eyes and
protested not that he could not get
along with lower tariff himself, but
what would become of American labor

They Secured the Information.

The prisoner at the bar was a foreign
looking person, whose beard covered his
features so that it was quite impossible to
say from just what country he hailed. The
police justice looked up at him, then called
for the German interpreter.
Ask him what his name isr" said the
justice, in an undertone, to the interpreter
"Wie heisst dup" said the interpreter
The prisoner put his hand to his ear.
"Wie heisst du?" cried the interpreter.
The prisoner looked stupid and did not
answer.
Call the French interpreter" said the
police justice.
The French interpreter could not make
the prisoner understand what was wanted
of him. so they called the Spanish in.
terpreter. This man, however, Jared no
better than had the others, so they called
the Italian, and the Hebrew, and the Rus
sian, and the Norwegian, and the Danish
and Swedish, and the Turkish Interpreters,
but none of them could get an answer
from the prisoner.
They came to the conclusion that he was
shamming, so they tried to intimidate him
in every foreign language known.
Finally the court policeman lost his
temper.
"Why don't you tell his honor your
name9" he cried.
The prisoner looked surprised.
