Democratic legislatures, SO that

sional candidates though the states
give large Republican maJorltles
for state and national tickets.
This, then, is the situation which
the Republicans have to face.
Though it is true that there is pop
ular Indignation against Democracy,
disfranchisement of Republicans in
the south, unfair gerrymanders Of
northern states and the power Of
the national administration all COM
prise an advantage far the enemy
which will be hard to overcome.
1t is not intended to discourage
Republicans by calling attention to
these matters, but rather to warn
them against over-confidence. The
duty Of the party is plain. The
nomination of strong candidates,
an aggressive campaign, hard in
dividual work and a full vote on
election day can only accomplish
victory over the powerful combina-
ton arrayed against the people.

Maple Sugar Bounty.

A telegram to the Baltimore Sun
dated at Cumberland Monday, re-
ferring to the bounty on maple
sugar in this county says:
deputy Internal Revenue Col
lector Asahel Wilson has returned
from a trip to Garrett county to
gather the returns from the maple
sugar product of the past season.
The returns show an output of
slightly over one hundred and five
thousand pounds, earning bounty
of one and three-quarter and two
cents per pound, according to quail
ity. The total bounty this year
will be about 81, 100. The product
this year is short compared with
that of last year, which then cost
the government in bounty 81, 7O8.
The farmers of Garrett county are
paying greater attention to cereals
of late and are now adopting more
progressive ideas in tilling the soil,
and, as a consequence, land that
could have been bought at 81 an
acre few years ago is now worth
ten times that amount. p"

The greatest danger to the Repub-
licans this year is in the feeling of
confidence, which seems to prevail
everywhere, that the country is dis
gusted with the Democratic party.
There is feeling that the people
will vote a Republican Congress
into power as an expression Of their
discomfort and indignation on &C.
count of the failure of the Demo
cratic Congress. This feeling of
confidence In Republican prospects
has IN it an element of danger
which should be guarded against
very carefully.
The New York Tribune more
than month ago published an
article IN which there were some
suggestive figures, and which
should be reproduced in every Re-
publican paper. They are intended
to show that the popular indigna-
ton at the Democracy, which I'M
doubtedly exists through the coun-
try, does not necessarily mean Dem
ocratic defeat at the polls next
November. 1t will only be by the
hardest work and a solid masslng
of forces that the Republicans will
be able to obtain a majority in the
next Congress, for the Democrats
have many advantages to start with.
They have the power of the admin
lstration, the control of the ma
chinery in many important states,
and the additional advantage that
they have so gerrymandered Repub-
lican states that 1t has been posi-
BILE for them to elect in them a
majority of the congressman.
In the article referred to above it
is shown that the Democrats start
with 120 districts which it is almost
utterly useless for the Republicans
to contest, as their ballots will not
be counted if they cast majority
Of votes. This has been the case
heretofore and always will be the
case until a federal election law is
passed that will guarantee a free
vote and fair count. The south
will give certificates to these 1870
Democrats without fail, excepting
perhaps the four districts i'll West
Virginia, the only state in the So
called solid south in which honest
elections seems possible. After
these 120 districts are secured the
Democrats only need so votes to
give them majority of the house
Of representatives. Ten northern
states have been gerrYmandered by

TIE South Pays nc Pension Money.
Mr.. Hepburn, q member from
Iowa, in a speech delivered recently,
in the House, on the subject of
pensions, says: 1.-The late Confed-
crate States do not IN reality con-
tribute one dollar to the payment
of pensions. OF the $3.50, 100000
internal revenue taxes the south
paid less than $4,000, 600; of the
$111, 100000 custom receipts the
South paid but 81, 900, 900, and Of
the miscellaneous receipts less than
81, 900, 900, so that the South con-
tributes less than $15,0O0,000 to
the revenues of the government.
1.-The South gets back 50, 000,0 900
of this in sugar bounty, $1,000, 900
in pensions and $1,000, 900 as q
deficit IN postal receipts. The
South receives back #3,O00,000
more than 1t contributes.
"Addressing the Southern men,
5ers he concluded: You contribute
not a cent to Northern pensioners
What difference does it make to
you what we do with our own
money!"

out and held under them only up
to said Deakins line.
The State of Maryland prior to
the running Of said Deakins line
had made some few grants for land
which extended westward of said
line as run by said Deakins. But
after said Deakins line was run and
established the State of Maryland
never made any more grants of land
lying west of said line.
VIRGINIA GRANTS UP TO THE DEAK-
ms LINE.
On the other hand the State of
Virginia had, prior to the running
of said Deakins line, made a num-
Der of grants for land lying along
the meridian line, drawn from the
Fairfax stone to the Pennsylvania
line, which grants called for natur-
al objects in the "Maryland line, -
and after said Deakins line was
run the said State of Virginia con-
t!nued 10 issue patents for the va
cant land lying just west of and
adjoining sand Deak;ns line, calling
for natural objects in SAID line,
until the whole OF the territory ly-
ing west of and adjacent to said
line was taken up and patented by
the State of Virginia, and the pat
entees of said land claimed under
said Virginia patents, and those
claiming them, have claimed and
held possession of the lands granted
to them respectively up to said
Deakins line as the true boundary
line between Maryland, Virginia
and West Virginia, and in this way
the said Deakins line came to be
adopted and recognized by the in
habitants and land owners along
the same as the State boundary line
and as the limits Of their lands.
No controversies arose between the
holders of the Maryland military
lots as laid out by Francis Deakins
and the said Virginia patentees, ex.
cept in some instances, Us to the

The only other controversies that

Please allow me space in your
valuable paper to refer to a matter
of interest, especially unto myself.
The ways of many people are past
finding out, and the ways of some
people in this part of the country
are doubly hard to find out. One
is not always disappointed when
misled by strangers but we expect
good of friends.
About midway between this place
and Frostburg is a farmhouse
termed the halfway house where
many thrilling circumstance tran
spired during the stage days of the
old national pike, and the present
proprietor, who is none other than
one of the honored members of the
Board of County Commissioners,
(Mr. Thomas IL. Layman) and his
estimable lady are fully determined
it shall not lose its record for start
ling occurrences during their day.
So on the evening of the 10th
inst. as was returning from Frost
burg where | had conducted the
funeral of our aged and most highly
respected citizen, Mr.. VIM. Frost,
| was stopped and invited to spend
the night at said house. AS the
shades of night began to steal oyer
the earth quite interesting people
began to assemble and kept coming
until sixty odd strong had taken
possession of the house and we were
impressed that perfect obedience
would be our safest way out Of our
dilemma.
About 9 o'clock we answered an
invitation into the famous dining
room where we were publicly and
substantially pounded-at least 500
worth of pounds. After remaining
until about midnight saying and
doing everything possible to relieve
us of our scare they took their de-
parture saying all kinds of nice
things.
No one courts surprises and
poundings, vet they can be endured
occasionally, these hard times es-
pecially when they end so well.
This is my fourth year among
these strong people and 1 have
learned to love them, and though
they are scrlpturally peculiar on ac-
count of good works, yet / shall
never forget them.

Health Officer iiammett's Report Of Their
Relation to Sanitary Conditions.
An interesting report is being prepared by
Health officer Hammett relative to the sani-
tary condition of the city. Statistics OF the
sanitary arrangements OF houses in the differ
erent localities during the last year are be-
ing compiled in tabulated form from the re-
suits Of house-to-house inspection. and will
be submitted to the Commissioners In about
a week.
On account of the recent typhoid fever
scare, DR.. Hammett is also drawing up a
statement, in which he will show where the
wells and pumps are situated. and just what
proportion OF the people in the vicinity of
these pumps have been affected with the fever
In conversation with TINES reporter last
evening" DR.. Hammett denied the report that
he had ever stated that il was Potomac water
and not well water that has caused so much
sickness. Il cannot" he said positively
make a comparison of the deaths from typhoid
fever as resulting from drinking Potomac
water or the use of pump water, as my in
vestigation has not been carried far enough.
Ahouse-to-house inspection must be made, in
which we will have to inquire just what famfi-
lies are using river water and who are using
well water
tine greater number OF cases OF typhoid
fever have occurred in Localities where there
are pumps and outbouses unconnected with
sewers; but whether the complaint is due 10
the water from the pumps cannot with GER
tainty be stated. as it is not now known
whether hydrant water was used more or less
than the other kind.
Il cannot speak authoritatively. but I do
not think that the Commissioners will close
any of the wells unless it is found that bac-
cilli exists. There has never been a pump
condemned by me until an inspection OF the
water had been made"
