RELICS OF THE MORGAN RAID.
Relics of the celebrated Morgan
raiders are now being unearthed at
Brandenburg, on the Ohio. Thirty
one years ago Gen. John Morgan,
with 5000 troops, appeared at
Brandenburg, forty miles below
Louisville, en- route for a raid
through Indiana and Ohio. When
Morgan's advance guard arrived at
the river the Louisville and Hen
derson packet John T. McCoom BIS,
whistled to land, when she was
seized by the Confe1era.es. About
the same time the Alice Dean, an
elegant side-wheel steamer, plying
in the Cincinnati and Memphis
trade, commended by Captain Pep
per hove in sight, and by the aid
Of the McCombs was intercepted
and captured. The two steamers
we're used to ferry the raiders over
the river to Mauckport. This hav.
ing been accomplished, an order
was issued to burn the Dean. Her
hull sank about 500 yards below the
town, where it has remained hid
den obstruction ever since. This
summers extreme low water has
exposed the old hull to plain view,
and an examination has shown it to
be in an almost perfect state of pre-
servation after thirty-one years
concealment under the water and
sands of the Ohio river. People
residing near the locality are now
engaged in removing hundreds OF
pieces of iron, wood and other arti.

FISHING or SUNDAY. The
Centreville Record, Queen Anne's
county, says:
"I.ast Monday Mr.. r. G. Forman,
Of Baltimore, and Mr.. Wilson, of
Queen AhRe's county, were arrest
ed on warrants charging them with
violations of the Sunday laws by
fishing on the day before at Kent
Island Narrows, issued on the oath
of Constable George s. Lowe, of
Kent Island. Numerous complaints
have been made to Mr.. Lowe dur
ing the summer that persons-resi-
dents Of Queen Anne's county,
Baltimore and other places-were
fishing on Sunday at the narrows.
Several times during the season he
visited the place on Sunday to in
vestigate the truth of the charges,
but failed to find any one actually
engaged in fishing, although he
frequently found persons there who
were apparently equipped for it.
Last Sunday he made another visit
there and then found Messrs. For
man and Wilson engaged in fishing.
Mr.. Wilson was arrested at Queens
town and carried before Justice
Aker, who fined him five dollars
and costs. Mr.. Forman, who had
taken the steamer for his home that
morning, was arrested at Kent Is
land wharf. Not wishing to be de-
tanned on the Island, he confessed q
plea of guilty and submitted to a
fine of five dollars and costs, but
instructed Justice Phillips to enter
an appeal and send the case up to
the November term Of court. Mr..
Wilson also took an appeal to the
same term of court. These cases
involve a construction Of the Sun
day laws on points not heretofore
raised here and will be interesting.
Their trial will determine whether
Sunday fishing, when INDUCED in
for sport, is legal or not"

a BORN LAwYER.--A lawyer ad-
vestised for q clerk. The next
morning the Office was crowded with
applicants-all bright and many
suitable. He babe them wait till
all should arrive, and then arranged
them all in row, and said he would
tell them a story, note their COM
ments, and judge then whom he
would choose.
"A certain farmer began the law

rel that got in through a hole in his
barn and stole his seed corn. lie
resolved to kill the squirrel at the
first opportunity. Seeing him 60
in at the hole one noon, he took his
shotgun and fired away; the shot set
the barn on fire.
did the barn burn said one of
the boys.
The lawyer without answering
continued: and seeing the barn
on fire the farmer seized pail OF
water and ran to put it out.
Did he put it out?' said another.
'As he passed inside, the door
shut to, and the barn was soon in
flames. When the hired girl rushed
out with more water
Did they all burn up?' said
another boy.
The lawyer went on without an
swer; Then the old lady came out
and all was noise and confusion,
and every body was trying to put
ont the fire.
Did any one burn up?' said an
other.
The lawyer said: There, that
will do; you have all shown great
interest in the story But observ-
ing one little bright-eyed fellow in
deep silence he said: Now my lit.
tie man, what have you to say?'
The little fellow blushed, grew
uneasy and stammered out. q

WANAMAKRR on THE TARIrr.


WASAMAKER ON The TARIFF
The public are being treated, says
the York (Pa.l Gazette, to some
thing just now in the tariff fight
which is really sensational.
John Wanamaker, President
Harrison's Postmasret General, il
spreading broadcast throughout the
country the most powerful argu-
ment in favor of the Democratic
side of the question which could
possibly be framed. Voters want
facts and Mr.. Wanamaker is giving
them facts right FROM his own ex-
perience.
The new tariff has caused a drop
in price in good many necessaries
of life, many Of which are sold at
Mr. Wanamaker's store, and con-
sequentlY Mr.. Wanamaker's prices
have taken a similar drop. Being
the best advertiser in the country
he is not hiding this fact from the
shopgoers and is parading it every
where in the most novel way.
lie believes that the drop is be-
cause of the new tariff and says so.
For instance one Of his advertise
ments reads as follows:
at is surprising that anyone
supposes that the common people
Abraham Lincoln said it better
"The Plain People-could not
count for themselves. That reduc-
ed charges at the custom house
would make no difference in prices!
What was the tariff fight about il it
were not to put down prices? Five
per cent, or ten per cent, or twenty
per cent. less duty means some
thing less in cost. It does not
mean full 5, 10 or 90 per cent. less
price because the reduction is only
on the duties paid. Whatever it is,
however, that part comes off the
prices.''
We fancy thatssin the face of such
testimony as this from so promi-
nent Republican we will hear no
more of McKinley's pet fallacy,
"the foreigner pays the tariff tax. b"
The purchaser always paid it, and
now the most rabid Republican pur-
chaser will realize this unfortunate
fact. The above quotation is only
one of many, and they all will con-
stitute one of the most powerful
Democratic campaign documents
which could possibly be devised.
That they are discomfiting to the
Republican organs is evident from
the efforts which they are making
to discount the effect of these reve-
lations.
But Mr.. Wanamaker has always
been prominently business man.
At no time in his career and under
10 circumstances does he forget his
chase after the almighty Dollar,
and if it is necessary to explode
even so precious Republican fall
lacy as the old one that "the foreign.
er pays the tax, he will do it il
there is any money in it.
When it is all boiled down it will
be found that most active Republi
cans are so because Republicanisn
pays them. Where it pays TO sup
port Democratic doctrine they are
quite ready to do so.
We are very grateful to Mr.
Wanamaker for his assistance il
the campaign.

LIGHTHOUSE on SoLoMoN's Is
LAND.-The contract for the cree
ton Of the Lighthouse on Solomon's
Island, has been awarded by the
Treasury Department to w. FL.
Flaherty, OF New York, for 81 200.
The contract for the metal work
for the same lighthouse was award
ed to the Iron Works of Richmond ,
Va, for 1924. The metal work
10 to be delivered at Lazaretto Point,
Baltimore, by the first of next Feb
ruary. and the work of construction
will be commenced as early as prac-
ticable next spring.
The entire cost OF constructing
the lighthouse is much smaller than
the lighthouse board had expected
or estimated. The entire cost will
not exceed $50, 200, and, perhaps.
may fall below that. The contracts
awarded aggregate s24,474
The reduction in cost is due to
the new tariff bill. The reduction
made by it in the metal schedule
and in other schedules containing
materials for such work have enabl-
ed the bidders to revise their bids
aud cut them down materially. 1t
is now evident that the original ap-
preparation of CSC, 900 will be ample
and perhaps more than enough to
construct and complete. the work.
Hence the Government, through
the new tariff law, will save at least
$50, 900 in one piece of work by the
operation of the German tariff bill.
