The AGRICULTURAL Society.

The following letter from Hon.
A. F. George to Mr.. S. P Baker,
president of the Garrett County
Agricultural Society, was handed
to us with the request that we give
it space in our columns. The letter
was not written for publication,
but Mr.. George will soon write
some articles for The REPUBLICAN
which will interest all farmers of
Garrett county.
Mr.. Georges letter to Mr.. Baker
is as follows:
"DEAR SIR:--I had fullyexpected
to be at the farmers meeting to-
morrow, but find now that it will
be impossible. | am very glad to
see the farmers taking an interest
IN the matter. 1t is what is badly
needed in our county.
81 would like to see Il road league
organized in connection with the
society, or at least, committee
that would take an interest in the
question of better roads. Our
present system is very expensive
one and gives very little in return
for the outlay. Garrett county
must have better schools and better
roads if we want to keep in sight of
those counties that are making
progress and increasing in prosper
ltv.
"The farmers need to take a
greater interest in their welfare as
class. The capitalists have their
organizations; the manufacturers,
the miners and the mechanics, but
the farmer is too busy TO attend
to this important matter and
consequently he is the one that
generally gets fceced. In unity
there is strength and l hope the
farmers Of the county will take hold
Of this organizations and make it a
power for the betterng Of their
condition.
q shall be glad to do anything
l can to make the organization a
success and hope that the time may
soon come when Garrett county's
farmers shall be thoroughly organ
lied for the benefit Of all.
Signed, "a. T. GEORGE"

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.


they started that demand for a
southern man at the head CT the
next Democratic national ticket.
Needless to say it was played
against Mr.. Cleveland, and so clev-
erlY was it played that it caught the
immediate endorsement of Senator
Hill, who apparently forgot IN his
anxiety to thwart Cleyeland's hopes
that he was practically committing
himself to the German boom. The
manner in which this demand was
first made public was calculated to
blind a great many ordinarily
shrewd people to the fact that Sen
ator German was pulling the wires.
1t was on the editorial page Of the
Washington Post. an alleged indie
pendent paper, that the demand
first saw the light, in all the con-
spicuousness Of dou ble-leaded type.
Now, it is a fact well known to
those who keep posted on such
things that the independence of the
Washington Post has been upon
more than one occasion made Il
commercial commodity to be ex-
changed for cash or personal fayors.
That being the case it did not
require a Pinkerton to connect that
demand with recent conferences in
Washington of prominent Demo
Gratis who are opposed to any fur
Their party favors being granted Mr..
Cleveland, although few Of them
are actually committed to Senator
Germans candidacy. The making
of the connection was aided by the
knowledge that the Post is con-
trolIed by a Democrat--ex-C Congress-
man Beriah Wilkins. of Ohio, who
has the Ohio mans natural love for
a political deal and no special liking
for Mr.. Cleveland, although he
doesn't object to asking for and
accepting executive favors.
Senator German was too smart
to have his demand for southern
candidate have any outward appear
ance of a German boom. Yet that
is exactly what it is. While the
demand is calculated-in fact, was
intended-to tickle the ambitions
of score of southern Democrats,
should it grow into a power great
enough to control the next Demo-
cratic nominating convention, there
is only one man who is big enough
and smart enough to take advantage
Of it, and his name is German.
There may be ADLER southern Dem
ocrats than Mr.. German, but if
there are they have successfully mid
their ability, while Mr.. German
has forced the Democratic Senate
to retain him as leader against the
wishes Of a Democratic President.
Mr.. Cleveland recognizes his
demand for q southern man as a
very shrewd move, and lie knows
the source from whence it emanates.
lie is afraid Of Mr.. German, not
having forgotten the humiliating
defeat he suffered at his hands
during the late Congress, but he
proposes to fight, not only for him
self but to prevent the nomination
Of Mr.. German. These contests
Tor the empty honor Of the Demo-
cratic nom nation are decidedly
amusing to Republicans, who regard
the election OF a Democratic presi-
dent in 1896 as an impossibiIity.
But they are interested all the
same.

Co They were arrested Saturday by
Officers Mallory and White on Front

brass at a second hand store. Officer
Maloney, who Swallowed the men, said
they belong to gang which has been
in the city for about two weeks.
Eugene Stirlith, who keeps second
hand store at Front and West streets,
stated that he paid two men 81. 80 for
so pounds of brass. He recognized
one man, but was not sure of the other.
They could not give satisfactory ac-
count of themselves and each was held

court.
Henry Irons, a colored frequenter of
the coast, was accused of the larceny
of shirt and several pairs of suspen-
ders from the store of Samuel r. Price,

SUPREME COURT FALL TERM
Prospects for a Session of
Unusual Interest.
PENDING CASES TO Be DECIDED
The Defunct Income Tax Law
May Come Up Again.


Washington, Oct. with the ex-
ception of Justice Gray, all Of the Su-
preme Court justices have returned to
Washington, in anticipation of the
opening of the fall term of court. Tho
recess has given time for the members
to consider cases which were submitted
but not decided at the last term.
Among these is the litigation of the
Consolidated Electric Lighting Co., in
volving a number of patents connected
with the electric lighting. Other cases
in which decisions are expected are;
Tho United States against the West
ern Union Telegraph Co., involving the
question Of telegraphic against the
government along the Union Pacific
lines: the Sioux City & st. Paul Rail
road Co. against the United States, in.
volving the ownership of land grants
in Iowa; Gilfilan against Mckee, i'm
volving part of the moneys appro-
priated to settle the Choctaw claims,
Meyer against Richards, which is suit
growing out of the irregular reissuance
of bonds which had been cancelled by
the treasurer of Louisiana.
An interesting case remaining to be
decided is that Of John G.. Moore,
against the Commissioner of Internal
Revenue, asking that the commissioner
be enioined from enforcing the collec-
tion of the income tax. This one of
three suits begun at the same time.
The court passed upon the other two
but left this undecided. 1t is of little
further consequence, now that the law
has been declared unconstitutional,
yet it may possibly afford basis for
another ruling on the income tax, not
on its merits, but on the request for
an injunction.
An important opinion on the case on
foreign judgments is also expected.
The case in point was decided at the
end of last term, it being held that a
French judgment could not be collected
in American courts. II was an oral
decision, however, and it yet re-
mains for the court to hand down the
full opinion.

Jesus whose spirit inspired and ruled
the soul of ST. Paul, kindled the fires of
the Reformation, guided the Pilgrim
Fathers in Now England, gave living
power to Channing's burning words for
freedom, both of body and of soul, and
to-day is felt wherever a hard heart is
softensd, a prodigal reformed, soul
restored TO the Fathers LIKENESS, a
child Of earth lifted to God and heaven
in faith and love.
This is the authority of Jesus for Uni
tafians. We look to Him as the way,
the truth, and tho life, I" the one
"whom the Father sanctified and sent
into the world" to teach it tho religion
of love to God and love to man. We
follow Him naturally and nationally as
our brother and teacher, and by Him
we are led, as through an open door,
into the presence of the living God,
His Father and our Father, in peni-
tence, faith, and love.

SUICIDE BY HANGING
John Hilbert Kills Himself at His
Home, on Sixth Avenue.

The Lifeloss BUdy of the Unfortunate Man
Found hanging by Clothes Line TO One
OF the I5ed Chamber DOors--Thought to
Have Beon Temporarily Insane.
John HILBERT, aged 50 years, com
mitted suicide by hanging himself Fri
day morning, at his home, No. % Sixth
avenue. AT IL. Is o'clock he was seen
alive in ped and before IL. so his life
less body was found hanging by
rope to one OF the room doors. He had
left his room, which is the front one
on the second story, and went to the
middle room, where he procured a rope
which had dono service as clothes
line, and making moose put it around
his neck, and with the rope thrown
over the door, the other end being fast
to the knob, he moved his feet and
allowed the weight of the body to sus-
pend from the rope.
Shortly before IL. 30 o'clock Charles
L. Simmons, a brother-in law of the
deceased went to the house and in
quired for Mr.. HILBERT, He was told
that he was not feeling well and was
in bed. Mr.. Simmons went upstairs
to see his brother-in law, and was hor
rified to see the body hanging by the
rope from the door. The alarm was
given ,and hasty examination showed
that life was extinct. The corpse was
cut down and Deputy Coroner Chand
Ter was notified. An inquest was held
on Saturday afternoon, the verdict be-
ing that he committed suicide.
The only reason that can be assigned
for the rash act is melancholia, which
was probably due TO Mr.. Hibbert's ill
i.rx hn nn of
his legs, and although il apparently
got well, the injured member has been
troublesome at times ever since. Re-
centlyMr. HILBERT has been complaining
at times, and not feeling well Friday
morning he remained in bed. Less than
10 minutes before the lifeless body was
found the unfortunate man was in con
versation with members of the family.
As rule HILBERT was bright, and
even Thursday he was at the home OF
his son, No. 1922 Banning street, and
apparently was in the best of spirits.
He was laughing and joking with the
rest OF the family. The deceased has
not said anything to any of the family
that would give the impression that he
contemplated suicide, and for that
reason it is thought that he was tenn
porarily insane when he took his life.
His injured leg has caused him great
deal of Inconvenience and he has had
TO lose time on account of it. He has
not worked since last May.
Living in the house with Mr.. Hib-
bert were his wife and two young chill.
dren, boy and girl. There are five
other children, two of whom are alb
sent from the city. Deceased was a
member of Hope Lodge, |. o. O. f.,
and also of Asbury M. E. Church.

tion of 1893 came on, and you:know
the result.
A nEvlyA1 OF BUSINESS.

REVIVAL or BUSINESS.
But things worked out, the Sherman
act was repealed, the panic passed, fac
tories started up, commerce and bust
ness improved, and now the Republi-
cars arc not laughing so much. And
as surely as the first two years of Presi-
dent Clevoland's administration wore
clouded in migfortunes and depression,
the last two will end in blaze of
glory. The Republicans now find them
solves in this position that the welfare
OF the country means the disruption OF
their party. The great fact remains
that the truth in President Cleveland
for his stand on tariff reform and the
truth of his party now stands forth
triumphant. You cannot bring great
principles forth and make them poten-
tial in the country unless you have a
great party. You must uphold the
hands of your Democratic President by
supporting the friends of his admins
tration. How will Mr.. Cleveland feel
when he hears, il he does, that the
gallant State of Maryland, which for 80
years has stood by the Democratic
party, has gone down and combined
with the enemies of his administration.
The JOY only will be in the Republican
headquarters from the Pacific to the
Atlantic. Give us courage for our
fight in Delaware. Keep your align
ment, remain steadfast to your princi-
pies and party. Cast no shadow on
the gallant old commonwealth of
Maryland. -

SpecialCorrssuondence OF Gazette and journal
Middletown, Oct. THE last game
of the season between Townsend and
Middletown was played on the home
ground Saturday. The visitors came
up with Dover,s crack battery, Rad
cliffe and Zearfuss, which played
against the Phillies at Dover Fair on
Thursday. After the first two or three
innings the home toam hit Radcliffe
hard, and more safe hits were made off
him than the Phillies secured few
days previous. Willis and Gibson were
the battery for the home team, and
were given good support. The score
was II to in favor of Middletown,
and the Townsend enthusiasts who
came up confident of winning the de-
Gliding contest of the series were sorely
disappointed. This will probably be
the last game of the local team this
season, and ii is very likely that next
year Middletown will have a team
which will play an important figure in
the State championship games.

kIVER PIRATES SHOE.


Philadelphia, Oct. s.-A dispatch
from Cape Charles, Va, last night told
of the killing of Benjamin Hudson,
one of the most notorious river pirates
that ever pestered the police of this
city and Camden. His brother, Will
liam, was seriously wounded.
The killing occurred at Cobb's Island,
off tho Virginia coast. The Hudsons
occupied cat boat, which had been
stolen from Camden. the dispatch said
and several of the islanders endeav-
ored to capture the craft yesterday.
The Hudsons showed fight, and in the
exchange Of shots Benjamin was in
stantly killed, while William was so
badly hurt that he will die.
The Hudsons lived, when out of Jail,
in Camden. They were desperate fell
lows, and have given the police no end
of trouble. Several bold thefts were
traced to them about five years ago, and
they were traced to house in the
southern section of the city. In at
tempting 10 arrest them the police had
terrific battle with them, in which
bullets flew on both sides. They were
finally captured, however, and had
but recently finished term in the
penitentiary for that escapade.
