Did the farmer ever think Of it,
who can see no use in farmers or
carnations that if he would work
less and think more he would get
along better. In union there is
strength. Did he ever think OF
that? The member who attends
and does his part i'll an organiza-
ton helps every other member to
do. his part.
Did he ever think of that?
If farmers knew as much about
government as they do about farm
ing they would have two dollars
where they have bat one now.
Did he ever think of that!
To understand government affairs
is as much part of their business
as to understand farming and as
profitable.
Did he ever think of that?
Because they do not think of
these things the gin mills run the
government and the men who think
but do not work rob the farmers of
about all they make.
Did he ever think of thatj
There is only six pense between
the man who works and the man
who plays, and the man who plays
gets it, says an old proverb. Did
the farmer ever think of that!

Eight aqueducts supplied ancient
Rome with water, delivering forty mil
lions of cubic feet daily. That of Clau-
dia was forty-seven miles long and one
hundred feet high, so as to furnish the
hills. Martha was forty-on miles, of
which thirty-seven were on seven thou
sand arches seventy feet high. These
vast erections would never have been
built had the Romans known that
water always rises to it's own level.
Our western cavalrymen are keep
ing up their reputation for hard riding.
The Third cavalry travelled in all is, 900
miles last year, chiefly scouting on the
western border. and one troop of the
regiment, q troop, covered as high as
eighty-five miles in one day, the longest
days march made in 1898 by any sol
dier of the United States army. Last
year record, seventy-eight miles. was
achieved by the same smart company
in the GarZa campaign in southern
Texas
Sectional calamities have given OPP
portunity for the Red Cross society to
make itself power in the country.
Into the midst of the desolation
wrought by fires, floods, cyclones and
earthquakes, messengers have gone
with medicine, food, clothing, tents,
lumber and furniture, and, by the
method which is a characteristic of the
association, have done more to restore
comfort and hope than any morgan
lied efforts could do.
The first printing press established
in America north of Mexico was
brought to this country by Elizabeth
Glover, the widow of Rev. Josiah Clio
YER, of Surrey, England, who died on
his way to this country with his wife
and five children. His widow settled
in Cambridge and married President
Dunster, the first president of Harvard
college. Part of the revenues of the
college were derived from the use of
this printing press and it was upon
this that was printed the famous Indian
Bible of John Eliot.

The SeigniOrage Bill.

The passage of the seigniorage bill
caused a chill and fever to Wall Street
and their comments OIL the "shock" it
would cause to the credit of the gov
ernment i'll Europe even absolutely dis
gusting to American ears. Much specula-
ton was had over the action of the Pre-
sident. This little incident shows what a
gang of absolute towards the whole gold
bug outfit is, and that a bold step is all
that is required on the part of the people
to make the whole pack crawl OH their
bellies like ours. The more light that is
thrown on that crowd of conscienciousless
shylocks the more contemplate it ap-
pears i'll contrast with the arrogant boast
ing of their importance in the world. In
place of importance they are an unimport-
ant nuisance.

Our LEGISLATURE.

The Maryland legislature is drawing
near its close, and had that body never
met, the people-the tax paying people
would at the end of the session have in
the treasury of the State, just the amount
it cost, which the treasury will be ont.
The whole business so far transacted is
not worth five cents to the people. of
Maryland.
By turning the rotten, boss-ridden party
out and putting in a republican party
legislature would temporarily better mat
tiers, possibly, on the principle that the
new broom sweeps clean. But continue
the same party in power twenty years and
the same corruption and boss rule would
reign as now governs the democrat party.
A mere change of parties would be but a
temporary improvement, if SO much.
There is only one thing sure inviting such
change, it couldn't be any worse, with
no assurance that matters would be
mended. A new leaf will have to be
turned, and our present political failure
system undergo radical change.
Twenty five thousand people of Cecil
county under present systems turn over
all their political rights, power and priv
ileges to four men. The people tie their
own hands and virtually say to these four
men: "Here is carte blanche, go to
Annapolis and do as you please. You
can pass any laws you have a mind to or
none at all; or you can sell your influence
and votes to the highest corporation bid
der if you like; or you can trade with
other members to legalize personal legis-
Iation, we are utterly powerless to prevent
you. See. Our hands are tied. You are
called our servants. But when the mas
ter's eye is not on him or his back turned,
the servant has always done, and always
will do, as he pleases. Our eyeis not only
averted and back turned, but our hands:
are tied. We cannot use the rod if we
would"
If the people ever hope to see better
legislation they must keep the law max
ing power in their own hands by reserv-
ing their right to pass upon all laws
enacted, and either reject or accept them
as they do constitutional amendments
and ''local option" liquor laws. This is
the veto power which the present consti-
tuition places in the executives hands.
In addition to reclaiming this veto power
they should go further and reclaim the
right to originate bills. Take the initia-
the in the matter of legislation. And
still further reform is imperative1y needed.
The tyranny and injustice of majorities
must be overthrown. A majority despot-
ism is but grade better than a minority
tyranny. One hundred voters should not
usurp supreme control over ninety nine
of their fellows. All should have as equal
representation as possible, and the sys-
tenn of proportional representation would,
with the referendum, bring lis as near to
popular government as it would be pos
sible to devise. Time and experience
have proven our present delegate system
to be most dismal failure, and it has
filled our politics with every form of
political corruption possible for rogues to
invent

TO WASH THE FEET OF PAUPERs
Bishop Curtis Will PrefOrm the COM
memorative Act on Holy Thursday.

On Holy Thursday at the Roman
Catholic Pro Cathedral of st. Peter
the ceremony of feet washing will
be performed for the first time, it is
believed, in IA Catholic church in
this country. Bishop Curtis will
conduct the ceremony and the per-
sons whose feet are washed will be
twelve persons, who are brought
from the County Almshouse. The
ceremony illustrates and is COM
memorative of the humility of the
Saviour when he washed the feet
of the apostles.

Significant Paragraphs.

The following clippings from popular
daily paper may be duplicated in kind
any day from almost any of the leading
city dailies. They suggest much for
serious thought:
One of the local newspapers this morn
ing goes so far as to mention the names
of three members of the Senate, two of
them members also of the Finance Com
1nittee, who that paper says have estab-
lished close relations with two firms of
brokers who more than any other firms
deal i'll Sugar certificates.
The majority of brokers incline to the
belief that certain Senators in Washington
sent out reports regarding the sugar tariff,
and on the strength of these reports the
stock went up and they made handsome
profit; that is, those who were able to get
out while the price was up.
\ X
Among the bankers and brokers there
was a good deal of talk over the apparent
connection of some of the Senators i'll
Washington with the stock market.
Tuesday, it was said the Senators were
SpGCuldllllS Ill sugar, dllu tOudy lCd't was
also included i'll their reported dealings.
Among the men mentioned in connec-
ton with the deals is ex-Congressman S.
V. White, who drew public criticism to
himself by openly working for a sugar
tax on the floor of the House when the
Wilson bill was under consideration there.
x =
Senators may technically excuse them
selves, but there is no doubt that the
Finance Committee of the Senate has
been using the Wilson bill more or less
in the interest of stock-jobbing and that
no such bare-faced scandal has ever been
known in Washington in connection with
tariff legislation. But it was what was
expected when Mr.. Voorhees, was put al
the head of the committee.
Some intimate friends and relatives in
daily association with members of the
Finance Committee here in Washington
have been daily visitors at brokers' offices
and have been dealing largely i'll stocks
affected by reports of the action Of the
Senate committee. That this has been
going on for weeks and that a good deal
of money has been made and lost as a
result is beyond denial

Europe Is uneasy about silver. The
debt-rld and tax bled nations of the
continent are wondering whether they
can stand greater appreciation of
gold. England has for many years con-
graduated herself on the gain she has
standard, but since her trade with
India has become demoraliZed and her
echanges with all silver using countries
shaky, her exporters are asking ques.
tions of the bankers who have taught
the statesmen all the finance of the
past hundred years.
One of the Republics financial cor
respondents, who has always been con-
sentative in making predictions writes
that an European war, forced by the
intolerable trade depression of the gold
standard, is almost certain to come
very soon. The discontents of all
classes are pressing the government in
to war, because the expedients of peace
full finance have all been exhausted.
The war will end, he believes, in a gen

short-sighted action Of Germany in

alternative before the European nation!
is silver legal tender with free coinage,

The latter might be temporary relief
but it would be soon felt as a terribls
strain on credit, and at the first convul
