Ex-Governor Bowie Dead.

Ex-Governor Oden Bowie died on
Tuesday at his home at Fairview, near
Bowie Station, on the Baltimore and
Potomac Railroad, in Prince Georges
county. Since he was stricken with
paralysis last Monday night week all
hope of recovery had been abandoned,
and his death had been almost mo-
mentarily expected. He was one of
the few men who kept up the Demo-
cratic organization during the war.
and was elected TO the State Senate in
1865.
Two wears later he ran for Governor,
and received $4,000 majority. Many
important questions were settled dur
ing his administration-the oyster dii-
ticulties with Virginia. the collection
of arrearages from the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad, repayment by the
United States of money loaned to the
Federal Government for war purposes
and the construction of the Baltimore
and Potomac Railroad. The Chesa-
peake and Ohio Canal was made a
paying concern by his administration.

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE

CONGRESS met on Monday. very
little business was transacted with the
exception of swearing in new members
and listening TO the reading of the
Presidents Message. The Message is
a very long one-too long for us to
publish. To us it was a disappoint-
ment, being unlike any other message
from President Cleveland we had ex-
pected he would refer TO the late
election and intimate in some way the
cause of the reversal OF public senti-
ment; but he did not so much as
notice it. He comes forward again,
however, in a straightforward way
and declares he is i'm favor of free coal
and iron and reduction in the sugar
tariff. The press of the county is none
too enthusiastic over the remarks of the
President, and the banking scheme re-
commended is receiving adverse criti-
cism. The New York Herald has
this to say on the subject:
To permit the issue of notes by both
State and national banks would insti-
tute two systems with conflict of jur-
isdiction. In case a banks condition
became questionable it is easy to con-
ceive what might happen with two
sets of examiners and the question
pending whether State or Federal
authorities should take possession of
the assets. Mr.. Carlisle appears to
have endeavored to make some con-
cessions to each and every one of the
groups in Congress. Those of the
West and South who demand State
bank circulation he would conciliate
by.granting this privilege. but under
conditions which make the operation
of the law impossible. To The intelli-
gent people of the country, who uphold
the gold basis and demand the retire
ment of legal tenders. he caters with
partial and temporary retirement OF
a mere fraction of them. not going far
enough TO relieve the Treasury of the
banking business or protect the gold
reserve from attack. Those who cla-
NOR for a wider use of silver he tries
to please by abolishing all bank notes
of less than $40 each. so as to make
room for more silver certificates, and
for those who protest that the Govern
ment ought not TO guarantee bank
circulation he provides that under his
plan the banks shall virtually guaran-
tee one another. In short, he has tried
to please everybody and will satisfy
nobody.

John Walter Smith.
ON the Cecil County News.

From the Cecil County News.
The withdrawal of Governor Brown
from the gubernational race in this
State has precipiiated the discussion
of the various candidates with renewed
vigor, and much speculation is being
INDUCED in as TO the probable Demo-
cratic nominee.
The recent election has demonstra-
ted the necessity of selecting a strong
candidate, both ON account of the
effect on the general State election.
and on the election of the Legislature,
and we have no hesitation in proclaim
ing our belief that at this time Hon.
John Walter Smith, of Worcester
county, supplies the requirement in
every particular.
Senator Smith has served his county
in the State Senate with marked dis
tinction, and has in consequence be-
come well and favorably known
throughout the entire State, and there
is not to-day more popular man
with the masses within the State.
He has always responded willingly
10 the wishes of the people of the
State. He has been firm advocate
of a re-assessment of property so much
needed, and no man whose position is
in doubt upon this question would be
safe nominee. Senator Smith how.
ever possesses a strength which no
other person in the State represents,
and it is greater Importance than pol.
iticians will allow, an,l that is his
authorship and persistent advocacy OF
the free book bill.
If there is any one thing which has
aroused interest among the masses
more than another in recent years, il
is the demand for free school books
A little investigation will demonstrate
the fact that this measure is very
close to the hearts Of the poor people
Of this State, and il will also demon.
strate that they are familiar with all
the attempts which have been made
to secure the passage of this law, and
that Senator Smith was the original
author of the bill, and has been it:
greatest advocate, and he is Justly re
garded by these people as their par
ticular friend.
We confess the possession Of some
sentiment upon this matter ourselves
and that We have warmer feeling

"Does 1t Pay to Raise Wheat /?

"DOes Ii Pay tO Raise Wheat ?''
The Still Pond Farmers Club has
been discussing this question. We find
their report in the Transcript as fol.
lows:
The question was then asked {:
"What crop can we grow in place Of
wheat that will pay profit? Barley,
buckwheat and winter oats were
suggested, but after some discussion
they did not seem to fill the bill. 1t
was claimed that wheat was the most
excellent crop with which to seed
grass, and that it was absolutely neces-
sary to grow certain quantity of it
for the straw. which none of the other
crops suggested. except the oats. would
supply. And as winter oats were as
yet only an experiment with US no
authoritative statement in regard 10 it
could be made. One of the members
stated that in his opinion wheat at
fifty cents a bushel would pay fair
profit. This acted like bombshell
loaded with red flags. and the original
question had no further chance. The
argument was lively and the holder of
the obnoxious opinion was set down
upon heavily, but he was good fighter,
and besides he had the advantage Of
not having an experience, and this
fact nearly gave him victory. but
the combine took refuge in statistics
and after thoroughly discussing every
item the following estimate by I. j.
