Pat Wright Jumps His Contract.
Pat Wright has made a great big
fool of himself. He is one of the best
second basemen to be found in a
minor league, but he has queered
himself for the future. After great
deal of negotiation he signed with
the Peoria team, which he Joined.
He has since been playing ball with
them, and has sustained his old time
record. He is good second base
man, good base runner and an ex-
cellent hitter. But Pat has jumped
the team and has been black listed
He has returned to Springfield,
where he will manage an independ-
ent team. He may make few more
dollars for the time being, but his
move will end to his discredit. He
is now contract jumper, and no
club will place confidence in his word.
Money was advanced him and it is
still owing to the club. Manager
Bracket naturally feels sore over the
treatment accorded him by Wright,
but it is only question of time until
the Springfield player will regret the
move he has made.-Peoria Tran

value from age.
"NeW whisky Of this kind sells for from
80 to 45 cents per gallon, exclusive Of tax.
We will call It 40 cents for the purpose
OF this calculation. When from five to
eight years old, 1t is ordinarily worth
from 81 30 to s. per gallon We will
assume it to be $275. 1 will assume a
ripening period Of six years in bond, and
endeavor to state the financial sdvsn-

years. The cost Of insurance is a little
less than cent per gallon per annum
We will call it 5 cents for six years. The
actual leakage for six years is about 616
gallons to each barrel Of 40 gallons,
which at 40 cents per gallon, makes q
loss of $3.50 per barrel, or 61S cents ger
gallon for six years. The interest at 6
per cent. on original cost, at 40 cents
per gallon for six years, is about 151k

Further Examples Of PaternaliSm Under
Which We Have Lived.

~ GVVcBBtVI OOVIUeBOv0
So we see that the principal Of indi
viduRlism in our government structure
Id pretty thoroughly played out-indeed
was ignored in our economy very early
In our existence as a nation; and q sys.
tenn Of corporations and combines
welded by the crafty and cunning few
substituted in its stead. Our fathers, 90
jealous Of q titled sristocracy and ol
artificial dignities that they forbade
their creation, never dreamed of q fan
more deleterious and dangerous agency
proceeding from perpetuities and vested
rights to pray upon poor humanity, and
therefore, left the door wide open y
these with the results that have con-
pass in our day and which have Fd
Cally altered the whole theory and chsr.
aCter Of their work. And every instinct
and interest OF designing man contrib
utsd to this change. His ambition as
we'll as his avsrice and greed was an
taRonistic and inimiCsl to the simple
theory Of Jefferson OF plain simple gov
ernmentsl institution to protect sll and
favor none. Under such a system the
new-fsdgsd statesman couldn't spread
himself in the sight Of his fellows and
the world. And those who live by the
sweat Of other mems faces land their
number is legion), couldn't avail them
selves Of such q government to feather
their nests and live in ease, luxury and
splendor. Therefore, it was prsdsstined
to DO undermined by these two classes,
who are always and everywhere too
much for poor, untutorsd and unRo-
phigticNted human nature in every age
aud country.
And SO we have lived for years under
paternRlism--pRternRlism for the benefit
Of the few and powerful at the expense
OF the masses. Every trust and combine,
and every corporation is paternalism
Tor the benefit of class. But the latter
CRY out Justify against paternallsm (that
is, government favor and partiality) If
you propose to take it away from them
and confer it and it's benefits upon the
whole instead of the powerful few. And
how long will mankind submit to such
deception and fraudY Or rather how
long before mankind will get their eyes
open TO such partiality and deception,
OF which they are the victimsS We
alluded to the bank and money monopoly
In our last. But we cant let it pass
without declaring again and sgain that
this species Of government patsrnRlism
and special favor is the most damnable
OF the whole brood. Think Of the gov
ernment deliberately placing the money
OF the country in the hands Of q select
few and thus enabling them to levy
tribute on society as q condition Of hay
ing the use Of its own money. Furnish
ing the select few with a duplicate cspi.
tai with which to do business, and that
almost free; while they are permitted to
charge the public all the way from 6 to
10 and IL per cent. for the use Of the
same. Does the farmer or mechanic get
like favcrs from their governmental No,
they can't raise a dime out Of her coH-
forB at any percentage though they
Ghould pile their securities mountain

Let US cite two or three more ex-
smples to the same effect. Think Of our
several governments and the people in
their sovereign capacity under the tutil-
sge Of the old parties and Of cunning
and designing men, constructing 10000
miles OF railways in this country and
then making a free present Of them to
great and powerful syndicRtes and cor.
porations headed by their Goulds, Hun
tingtons and SanfOrds, and bidding them
run the same in their own interest and
for their own benefit subject only TO
their caprice and conscience. For Of
these 10000 miles, 100000 of them at
least were built with funds and lands
G by Che government and bonds
by tao people. Those Of Kansas,
nor In bic message Of q few years
dAalArsd "were wholly constructed
be people, and then delivered over to
the eharpors who stood ready to sppro-
pirate them; while the people have been
contending with them ever since and
protesting against their extortion and
abuse Of power. And thus we have
one Of our systems Of highways owned
and controlled by those whose interest
it is to get all they can out Of them and
bid "ths people be ID" Was ever
such st0lidness on the part of man
known or such an open, bRre-faced and
unnecessary surrender Of his vital in
teFests to his enemies recordedP AS
well surrender the common highways Of
the country to Jay Gould & Co, and
bid them run them for their own benefit,
regardless Of the public interest and |
well being, or subject only to such |
as the latter can recover
from subsidized Legislators and hostile,
quibbling courts Of law owned by such
themselves. For the worst
such courts could do, they couldn't get
over the fact that railroads are, in law,
substantially highways, established by
and designed for the benefit and behoof
Of the people; but then they (the
courts) proceed to weed out as far as
possible all vitality from such princi-
pie and deliver them over to the un-
regulated and unrestrained use and
control OF those upon whom the people,
in their folly ,'have bestowed them. And
here is paternal government with a VEN
HeRnce. PRternRl government with US
consists in nursing and bolstering up
The favorites Of the family. If it should
favor all alike from A to q no one
would be specially benefited, and that
Is not the theory or design. Therefore,
sll that Is left us is to secure a turn
about in its administration, so that
hose heretofore turned down in it's
operation will come uppermost and So
,ure their share Of its benefits and
blessings.
But there is another most pregnant
Of paternalism under our gov
'rnment to which little attention has
1esn directed, but which illustrates the
advantages Of those who SO.

The following letter from DIR. E. P.
Keech, of Baltimore, will no doubt prove
of much interest to many persons in Kent
and We would be glad to receive any infor-
mation in regard to the existence of news
paper in Kent county during the period
referred to by the doctor.

EDITORS CHEsTERrowN TRANSCRIPT.
Dear sirs:-About one year ago you pub
lished a genealogical history ofIthe Smyths
of Kent county, which was of interest to
many in Baltimore, myself among the
number.
My mothers maiden name was Scott. She
was born in Chestertown, 1897. daughter of
John Scott Qawyer) and Elizabeth Dorsey
Scott His father was DR.. John Scott,
born in Chestertown, 1728, and one of the
founders of Washington College and col.
lector of Port of Chestertown, 17S9-90; by
tradition he inoculated five hundred colon
ial troops while in winter quarters at
Chestertown. His father was Dr.. John
Scott, who married Hannah Smyth,, sis
ter of Col. Thos. Smyth.
Now would beg that you would let me
know whether there was any newspape r
published in Chestertown during the Rev
olution. and if so where can copies Of it
be seen?
Some one of them might refer to the
matter of incubation.
Mr.. Cornelius Scott, Galena, is also de-
scendent.
Yours very truly,

Sussex County Ahead -C0ndition OF the
Crop In Other States.
The jump inthe price Of cornto s. cents
has given rise to inquiries concerning the
Delaware crop. which, sad to say, will be Q
short one. The cut worm ruined the first
planting and the hot dry weather of mid
summer has caused great injury to the
crop, though in some sections there will
be good yield.
In recent interview with number OF
Sussex county farmers We learn that corn
in that locality is very fipe, and the tomato
crop also bids fair to be good one.
The government weather bulletin
says; in Michigan, Iowa, Nebraska
and South Dakota the condition Of corn
except over very limited areas, is more
serious than was reported last week and in
some of these States it is being cut for fod-
der. but in Ohio. Indiana and Illinois the
outlook is fair.

WEATHER AMI cRoPs.

Reports from the weather bureau for
the Peninsula.
The reports received by the weather
bureau for the first week in August for the
peninsula is as fellows:
AT Chestertown the weather during the
past week has been very hot Rain fell on
Friday night, but was too late to help the
corn; the crop win be very light
At Milliugton the weather OF the past
week has been hot and dry. Corn, to-
matoes and truck have suffered Light
rain of August Sd did lots of good. Water
melons are in market. Sweet potatoes look
well
At Milford the splendid rains of the past
seven days have given new impetus to all
growing crops. corn especially. Melons
are deing marketed and are of fine quality.
Farmers are now able 10 plow, and farming
generally is progressing rapidly. A few
sweet potatoes are in market.
At Chesapeake City, the week past has
been one of thunder-showers, doing much
good; very beneficial to corn and pastures.
Fall plowing has commenced.
At Colora, the weather continued dry
and has been much cooler during the past
two days since light shower on the morn
ing of August 4th. Some heavy storms
passed over on previous days. Tomatoes
look fairly well; some ripening. Potatoes
are about through growing; late ones are
light crop.
At fredericksburg, early planted corn
excels by far that which was planted later.
Tomatoes, sweet corn, watermelons and
cantaloupes are in market. The week has
been extra fine for growing crops, two good
showers having fallen-one at the begin
ming of week and another at the close. No
drouth here; plenty of moisture. No fruit,
except Sickle pears, which are abundant.
At Preston, scarcely any rain has fallen
since July 22d, and then not enough to
turn fallow. Owing to drought the tomato
crop will be short. although larger acreage
was planted than last year. Sweet
potatoes and other vegetables are drying
up. There are no peaches, and not per-
feet apple is to be found in this section.
At Dailsville, the forepart of the week
was very not, but it became much cooler
towards the close. The recent rain insures
fair crops in this section. Considerable
crimson clover seed has been sown in
. orchards, and cornfelds are at last fit to
work.
At Mardela Springs, Wicomico county,
the prospect for good corn crop is ex.
cellent, the best for three or four years.
Cantaloupes and melons are commanding
fair prices. Farmers are finishing culti-
Mating corn, many fields being silked and
fasseled out.
