Everybody of middle age and resi-
dent of Elkton the last 80 years,
knows these are two wboppers, cut
from the whole cloth. Not a word
of truth in the assertion. And there
is an old adage which the editor of
the Wing ought ever 20 bear in mind
1t is dangerous for those who live in
glass houses to throw stone. Mr..
rorhert has been painfully reminded
of this fact several times, and may
get another reminder at any time.
Political philippics should be con-
fined to political matters. Why don't
the editor of the Wing attack the
present commissioner law? All ~!
That law is a whip in the hands of
the County Commissioners which
they hold over the Wing. Mr.. Tor
pert dare not attack it although he
knows it is a most vulnerable law
de gets quid pro quo to keep mum
on that subject. He has a nose for
revenue only and mighty elastic
conscience. In place of attacking

Texas Fever at Rising Sun.


DR.. R. Ward, the State Veterinar-
ian. visited this SECTION of Cecil
county today (Oct. 5d) at the request
of Dr. Gurdon G. Sill to consult with
him about the outbreak of Southern
or Splenetic Fever among the cattle
around, specially on the farms OF
Robert Aiken, Samuel Tyson and j.
D. SINNERS, at Woodlawn. DR..
Ward was quite in accord with DR.
Sill about the nature of the disease
and its origin. Sometime since two
lots of southern cattle were brought
here via. Old Point Comfort and
through Delaware by railroad to
Rising Sun, where they were sold at
public sale.
The two bunehe s of cattle were
made up of cows, oxen and bulls,
and these were in both instances
covered with the malicious cattle
tick, and thus the disease was con-
veyed to our native cattle.
1t would appear strange that farm.
ers purchased these animals after
Gov. Browns quarantine last year,
from the 4th day of October till the
18th day of December, issued by the
Governor because these cattle had
brought so much trouble OF this kind
to the farm homesteads.
AS soon as the frost sets in these
ticks succumb, but prior, are active
in conveying the microbe of this
disease from the southern cattle into
the system of our native herds.
The only remedy is in the hands
of the farmers: don't purchase these
cattle.

A ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS morn
ing between Ii and y o'clock, S miles
above this city, the water was seen
rushing down the Rappahannock in a
wave, and in an hours time the river
had risen three and half or four feet.
1t brought down considerable amount
of trash and number of Messrs. Ball
& Kerr's saw logs. So sudden and
rapid was the rise that some fishermen
lost several buckets of bait. 1t is sup
posed to have been caused by water
spout up the river. Late in the after
noon it reached this place, the river ris-
ing several feet in brief time and car
rying away dead horse, thought to

few days ago, and which had found

more wheat market was again weak
and excited yesterday, but prices were
not any more affected up to noon than
they were on Saturday. The drop
there was within cent bushel, but in
Chicago the decline was % cents, which
was taken as an indication that liquida-
ton is still going on there among the
grain SPECTATORS. Corn is also lower
in sympathy with the decline in wheat.
Flour has taken drop of 90 cents a
barrel all around, the cause being the
lower prices for wheat. Southern wheat
sold on Change to-day at 642 cents,
while corn was quoted at AZ and As cts.
for yellow and 80 cents for white with

tried and proving eminently satisfac-
tory. Arkansas has followed her exam
ple. All the States, and especially all

contribute to the support of her gov
eminent to the extent Of a small poll
fax should be allowed to exercise the
privilege of suffrage. Some of those
who oppose the payment of a poll tax
as prerequisite to voting do so upon
the silly ground that it offers premium
for a degraded suffrage. Is it possible
nossible that suffrage could be more de-
Graded than it is? Why suffrage in
this country is utterly debauched, and
not only ward meetings but State and
national conventions are sold and
bought, once prominent Virginia poll
tician going so far as to say it is easier
10 buy State, than hundred county
conventions. Votes are openly bought
at every election in which there is a
contest, and it is no harder to buy them
with. than it is without poll tax. Ii
the next legislature be wise, it will make
the prepayment of the poll tax neces-
sary qualification for suffrage, and will
also re-establish the whipping post, II
it shall possibly do these two good
things, the right thinking people Of the

JUDGE HUGHES takes the ground that
il is the governments stamp that makes
money, and not the material on when
that stamp is pressed. That ground
would be good if the country traded
only with itself and within its own bor-
ders. But as that condition does not
exist. ond as all the countries with
which it does trade say gold, and gold
alone, is and must be the standard OF
value, and that when they demand
gold in payment of debts due them,
GOLD must be paid, and that silver, no
more than copper or lead or any other
cheaper metal, will be received, it will
not hold, and no reasoning, no matter
how logical, can make it do so.

SENATOR HILL has lost nothing of his
wisdom. In an address he delivered IN
his State last Saturday, on the personal
liberty of the citizen, he took the true
ground that in free and equal country
a mans personal rights should not be
interfered with unless they trench upon
the rights of others, and that the rela-
ton between an employee and an en-
ployer is that oftwo contracting parties,
with which other people have nothing
to do and that the right to discharge
and the right to quit are equal and can
not be denied. How contrary idea
came to prevail to any considerable de-
gree. against the teachings of both COM
mon sense and the Bible, is passing
strange
