Farmers and the Cold Snap.

BY promptly accommodatins them
selves to altered conditions. the Maryland
farmers may be able to turn what appears
to be serious misfortune into means
of profit. Such similar opportunities
frequently make the fortune Of mer-
chants or those engaged in Other kinds
OF business. and there does not seem 10
be any good reason why farmers should
not be as alert and alive to their oppor-
tunities as people engaged IN other occu
pations The cold snap which has caught
the fruit and early vegetables over a
very large area Of co TRY is disaster
which must bring discomfort. # DOT ac-

which may. to an unusual extent. de-
prIve the public of seasonable supplies of
fruits and vegetables. aad. we fear il
many sections of grass crops which are
absolutely essential. The young clover
just shooting out of the ground has, IN
doubtedly, been killed in a number Of
instances.
While this is misfortune which it
would be folly to underrate, it would be
most cgregious folly for the farmers, I'M
der the circumstan yes. to throw up their
hands in despair, and take no steps to re-
pair it, The Maryland faymers are, for
tunately, placed to make most Of the sit
uation. They are no. too far south tC
pull themselves out of the mire, and
they are sufficiently near to the great
cities of the North to supply them with
what they have been in the habit of get
ting further south. Vegetation Of al
kinds has been more heavily stricken ii

the damage has probably been great, es
pecially where fruit was the main de

Maryland, and the farmer who is tn,
most prompt and energetic, and who ha
exercised the greatest care in the selec

l. is a claimed by prominent fruit
dealer of Baltimore that if the Wilson
bill passes as amended, ii will practically
destroy the banana trade. The price Of
the fruit would be made much higher,
and the banana trade, which is an i'm
portant part of the commerce of Balti-
more, would be rendered disastrous to
large number OF people.

frial results sought. The zeal and the
honesty of purpose displayed by the
Legislature in the enactment of tae law,
leaves no room 'for criticism
even should it not give en-
tire satisfaction On the free
book bill, we had occasion before to ex-
press our views. 1t was demagogic
measure, growing out of a false idea of
popular sentiment and should never have
been enacted. A new assessment was
asked for by tie Democratic party, and
the bill to attain that end was the most
paramount OF al measures that came be-
fore the Legislature. From the begin
ming of the session to the very hour of
its defeat, the whole thought and atten-
ton of that body was bent in the direc
ton of the measure. A majority of the
Legislature favored a new assessment,
but the details Of such measure became
an insur nountable difficulty in the way
of its passage ultimately resulting in its
defeat. Over its defeat we have no
tears to shed. 1t would have done the
people no practical good and a
vast deal of injury to Southern Mary
land. Our taxes would have been
increased to bear the expense incident
to the law carrying into effect; our
taxable basis reduced thereby and bad
showing thus made before the public,
With the record of the full proceed
ing, before them, the people while not
Over-euraptured with the work perform
ed by the General Assembly, are appar-
emily satisfied, content at least to wait
for time to show more effectually the re
suits following therefrom.

The Legislature Adjourned

The Legislature by virtue Of the ,ou-
stitutional Limitation, adjourned sine die
Monday night at II o'clock. It's acts
o. omissions and commissions, and all
of its good deeds have now gone into his
tory The people will con them over
and with the smoke of battle cleared
away, they will Judge the conduct of
their representatives. and pass verdict
accordingly Numerically speaking,
not as many bills we're passed as BY
many former Legislatures. But in this
the good work done is no. to be cOnsid-
ei. 1t is not in the number of legisla-
tive enactments promulgated lies the
good services rendered the people. Few
cr laws. Of wise and beneficial purpose,
often are more beneficial than a greater
number, however, well-disposed the ia
tention in passing them And often the
greatest service rendered the people by
legislative body is in successfully de-
felting vicious measures brought forth by
set of vultures who hover around every
General Assembly to loot the State Treas
ury to subserve selfish ends The per-
sonnet Of the Legislature just adjourned
was not composed of more than the
average set Of men. No master
minds directed the thoughts and action Of
either House, but as a whole the General
Assembly measured up fairly well in in
telligence, and the members fairly we'll
discharged the trust repOsed in them by
their respective con6ding constituencies
No measure of much Importance with
vicious tendencies, of which the public
at present are aware, was allowed to pass
the General Assembly and thus we have
a Just reason to rejoice Creating
of new corporations, amending the char
tei' Of others, the passing of several To-
cal political measures for partisan EUR
poses and the enactment of the usual
number of game laws, are most of the
laws of lesser significance passed; while
the general oyster Inv and the free
book bill are the measures passed OIL
more importance. The condition of the
almost depleted oyster beds made it alb
solutely necessary that change in the
oyster laws should be made with view
of preventing the entire destruction Of
the bivalve, and it was also necessary to
make some new provision as to raising
the necessary funds to support the oyster
navy, so necessary for the protection oil

The American Wool Reporter of
the 22d ult. says; The market is
steady; prices are being fairly well
maintained. A good deal of wool is
quietly shipped away from the ware
houses. Manufacturers are generally
conceding that wool is cheap, and a
vast amount of it is being utilized in
these days in the production of Amer
lean woolens and worsteds, which are
cheaper than any foreign goods of the
same quality yet shown.
There is more or less looking around
for California and Oregon wools, and
and cor siderable sampling; northern
spring wool is worth from 80 to 34cts,
clean, and defective (carbonized sells)
for soc. The better staple Oregon
woods sell readily at 30.
