LITTLE THINGS.

It is the little things that count. For
instance in the Post Office department
our respected Uncle Samuel uses half
a million lead pencils annually. He
takes 1900 quarts of mucilage, 1900
barrels of ink, 10000 pounds of rub
Der bands and 1900 gross of pens.
Life is made up of little things, little
instances, little events. If a cold is
taken to-day and is added to, to-mor-
row it develops into a grave pulmo-
nary trouble. If you take cold do not
fancy you can neglect it. To delay is
dangerous. Get a bottle of Reds
German Cough and Kidney Cure at
once. This great remedy contains no
poison and it is impossible to take an
overdose, but it will cure the worst
malady arising from a cold. Get it
of any dealer. The small bottle costs
IS cents, the large bottle 50 cents.

State Senator Joseph Francis
Talbot, of Calvert county died at an
early hour at Annapolis last week on
Wednesday. 1t had been not quite q
week since Senator Talbot was
seated by the Democrat elections
committee who threw out one of the
districts. Had the senate been
republican the distric. would not
have been thrown out of course
because it was q republican district.
We arrive at this conclusion on
general principles so corrupt and
disregardful of justice has come to
be our political parties.
The expense of another election
will be incurred, as, according to law
the president of the senate should
call an election within ten days after
the death ola member, which would
allow the new member to reach
Annapolis in time before adjourn
ment of the Legislature to draw
salary that part of the term after the
death of Talbot.

A petition from Cecil Grange was

A petition from Cecil Grange was
presented by Mr.. Groves to the
House last week, asking the legisla-
ture to establish Board of Agri.
culture of the State.
A bill was passed to regulate the
salary of States Attorney of Cecil.
There ought to be other official sal.
aries regulated as well as the States
Attorneys, only that the class OF
-spublic servant" sent TO legislatures
and congress to attend to these
things are almost sure to regulate
them on a rising scale.
Mr.. Frincke presented a petition
to the legislature, from Henry A.
Wise, superintendent of public
schools, and seventeen teachers in
the pnblic schools of Baltimore, com.
nendiDg him for his bill increasing
the license for the sale of cigaretts to
$3.50. Which is to say this thing lie
a nuisance and we viii tax it ont OF
existence in place of stamping it out.
This theory is a contradiction Ia
morals and in law. The Law FIRST
justices the sale of cigaretts by
granting permit for the business to
be carried on, and then proposes to
rob the grantee of the most of the
money he can secure through the
licensed nuisance. This false theory
in economics has been tried with the
liquor trade and proved dead fail
nre every time. A little common
sense ought to be able TO reach the
conclusion that such contradictions
cannot be made to succeed. If yon
construct machine with compensat
ing forces it will Hot work but is
bound to break. The high license
laws all break down. Let tia law
proclaim the thing is bad and every
body win learn to believe it. A

Another Gas Bill.

Mr.. W. Sanders Carr, of Baltimore,
is preparing another gas bill which
he will introduce in the House as
soon as be has it engrossed. The
hill will be similar in its provisions
to one that was considered at the
session OF 1888 and which passed
the Senate.
This was the bill which was to
have saved poor Archer'S bacon. but
failing, his fat went into the fire.
The present hill will doubtless have
the same lobby and Doodle behind it.
and the country member who is there
on the make will have his inning.

to stop the Voices which we're sent
to their Office as the farmers refused
to take the paper out of the Office.

suspected that every thing was not
right. and instituted inquiry as to
the facts. II wasn't long till letters
