WEST.

Last Sunday morning at very early
hour the inhabitants of this place were
awakened by the cry of fire and on
rushing out found the steam saw and
grist mill belonging to Mr.. +. q.
Bounds, in flames. which was soon
wholly destroyed together with a
quantity Of corn and meal belonging
to patrons of the mill. The loss is a
heavy one to Mr.. Bounds, as he had
expended quite large amount recently
in equiping his mill with new and i'm
proved machinery, which was totally
uninsured, also to the community at
large which literally patronized the
mill.
a Democratic meeting was held at
Bounds, in Atkinson's District, on
Friday evening. Jerome I. Hayman
was made chairman and after a few
remarks introduced as the first speaker
Mr.. W. c. Kirbin, of Delaware, who
made forcible speech. Col. Eph. &.
Polk, of Somerset county, came next
with good speech and the meeting
was closed by the old Democratic
Roman, Senator l.. l.. Waters, of Som
erset county, in one of his old-time
stirring speeches, which was received
with much enthusiasm. A number OF
ladies were present. Old Atkinson's
may be relied on next Tuesday.

COURT HOUSE NOTES.
Quite Active Around the New
Some History.

The present week has been one Of
unusual activity in and around the
Court House, principally on account of
closing up the work Of rebuilding. The
County Commissioners were in session
on Tuesday and according to previous
arrangements representatives were be-
fore them from Rochester and James.
town, New York, to display samples of
the proposed interior furnishings for the
Clerks and Registers offices in the new
building. such as record files, letter
files. and other conveniences for prop
erly keeping the hooks, records and
papers Of these offices, and also the
furniture for the court room aud other
offices in the Court House. The firms
represented were the Office Specially
Manufacturing Company. of Rochester,
n. y, and the Fenton Metallic Manu-.
featuring Company, of jamestown, n.
y. Both had sample sections Of their
interior furnishing and to us there
appeared to be but little difference in
their quality and convenience. The
Commissioners had number of gen.
tlemen to examine the samples exhibited
with the view OF getting their opinions.
No purchase was made, but bids will
be received on next Tuesday week, at
which time action will be taken and the
furniture purchased.
On Wednesday deed for the Balti-
more & Eastern Shore Railroad, to-
gether with all the stock. rights and
appurtenances thereunto belonging, and
also deed from the Eastern Shore
Steamboat Company conveying all their
steamboats,, wharf and all other property
to the Baltimore, Chesapeake l. Allan
tic Railway Company were filed. A
mortgage from the new Railway Com.
pany was also filed in the Clerks Office
ut the same time, the consideration,
81, 100000, in this mortgage was prob
ably the largest ever put on record in
this county.
On Thursday Messrs. Slemmons &
Lankford, contractors, had their stone
cutter at work cutting the dates on the
corner stone of the new Court House,
which revealed matters of history
which proved interesting to a large
number of people who stood by and
watched the work done. The dates
show Worcester county to have been
organized in l74l, the first Court House
was built iD>fSS2. This was destroyed
by the gteat fire OF 1884. which is
remembered by vesy few ot our people
and rebuilt\in 1885. The building Of
1885 was remodsied in 1882, and this
together with-6Gr-town, was destroyed
last year in the great conhagration OF

Ridiculous Einanciering.

Our present method of replenishing
the treasury with gold suggests to the
New York Herald the story of Davy
Crockett's coonskin. "Peltries," says
the Herald "were circulating medium
in the backwoods, and Davy at the log
house tavern paid for the drinks with
the fur of coon which had been the
sole reward of his prowess with a rifle
that day. The bartender threw the
peltry under, the rude counter, and
Davy, recovering it through the inter-
stice in the logs, tenderd it in payment
for another round and repeated the
trick until he and his compotators had
drained the barrel, and the puzzled pro-
prietor discovered that as a result of
the prosperous trade he had been driv-
ing he had nothing on hand but the
same old coonskin."
There is this item of difference, how
ever. While we may have on hand the
same old paper mill that grinds out the
same old bonds, under a new title, we
have each time a larger debt, which the
people will have eventually to make
good. The deficit which serves as an
purely gratuitous one, due to no other
cause under the sun than to DEM
ocracy's meddling penchant for blum
dering. But for the threatened repeal
Of the Mckinley act, finally consum-
mated by the substitution of measure
carrying with it $70,OO0,OO0 of new de-
flciency, and the abrogation of recipro-
cal treaties, there would have been no
occasion for new bonds and no short
age in the national governments cash
drawer.
There is no doubt as to what would
be thought of a private business man
who, while in the receipt of good in
come, should deliberately revolutionize
and experiment with his trade until ex-
penses regularly and largely exceeded
receipts. He might make ends meet for
a time, by borrowing money on promis-
sorry notes. but it would be reckless
and dangerous kind of management,
sure eventually to come to grief The
one safe way to do business is to keep
ones expenses within ones income and
thus save needless interest charges
This was the policy which character
lied the Republican party's admins
tration Of the national finances. The
worst objection that Democrats have
ever made to that administration was
that 1t resulted in the accumulation Of
surplus, whereas their own control
has achieved nothing but deficits.
