FACTS ABour omAMrAeNE.
The Taste Here and i'm France-why
the Hest Wine Does Not Come I'm
Mngnums.

From the New York Sun.
It Is commonly said in this country that
the best French champagnes are sent
10 Russia and the United States. 1t is
said In England, however, that the best
French champagnes are sent to Russia
and Great Britain, and that the best cam
not stand the voyage to America. Wher-
ever the truth rests, It is pretty well
known that the champagnes consumed in
France itself are not what Americans es-
TEEN the best The French like sweet
champagne, and what Is there called
dry wine would be esteemed here a sweet
wine The dryest champagnes are made
almost exclusively for export.
There are some odd supersutions toueh-
ing champagne that have no real founda-
ton. IL Is occasionally affirmed that q
great deal Of so-called champagne is made
OF gooseberries.
payne grower to a young Englishman
visiting him, that story about champagne
made from gooseberries is absurd, for the
reason that II is much cheaper to make 1t
from grapes than from gooseberries., Per-
haps II IL were not, we might-Well, I'll
not say what we might do
There Is popular belief that magnum
of champagne Is big bottle Of the very
finest wine produced and magnums are al
ways named in the accounts that come
from luxurious banquets. AS matter OF
fact, a magnum is likely to contain a
comparatively inferior wine of its brand,
and for an excellent reason. Sparkling
champagne Is distinguished from still
wine by the fact of being matured in the
bottle. But, Ghhappily, 1t is difficult to
make a bottle larger than quart that
will be strong enough at all points to re-
sist the force OF the gases generated in
the process OF fermentation. So the mag
mum Of champagne Is filled from smaller
bottles after the process Of fermentation
is complete, and from that fact the wine
thus bottled Is less likely TO be the best
of its brand than that bottled In quarts.
When a large London wine dealer was
giving a great dinner, a feature of the
table decoration was an enormous bottle
OF champagne wreathed with flowers. 1t
had been especially prepared IN France
and was said to be the largest bottle OF
champagne ever imported into Great Bril-
tain. The bottle was greatly admired by
the guests, a number Of champagne buy
ers, but disasters followed, for the bottle
was too weak for the wine, and In the
midst of the meal, doubtless owing to a
rise in temperature, broke, and the table
was suddenly flooded with frothing cham
payne.
1t is noteworthy. however on the other
hand that champagne In quarts is likely
to be better in quality than champagne
in pints, because the wine natures better
in the larger bottle. OF course, the DIFF
ference Is not noticeable by the ordinary
consumer. not blessed or cursed, with a
delicately sensitive palate.

OUR contemporary, the Cecil Democrat,
will, we think, find it difficult to convince
intelligent readers of his journal, that the
money spent in this community, by the
gambling syndicate which has captured
our local agricultural society, fully offsets
the moral stigma put upon our community
by its presence here.
This is the argument (?) so.called, gen.
orally used to justify many public evils.
1t was the plea used for years in defence
Of the lottery system in this State, which
public sentiment has long since driven out
Of every State Of the Union.
Gambling undoubtedly is one of the
prevalent vices of our times.
Our law makers so recognize it, yet with
strange inconsistency sanction it for a
limited number of days upon Maryland
fair grounds.
But public sentiment is often more
authoritative than the mere sanction of law
and we believe that fact would be apparent
were this question of converting the Elkton
fair grounds into gambling horse race
ground, be submitted to vote of the
people of Cecil county.
The WING thinks, the duty Of the gen.
tlemen Just elected to the State Legislature
is plain one-to secure the passage of Il
law cXempting Cecil county from the pro
visions Of the present law authorizing
gambling upon fair grounds.

WHAT THE STAR THINKS.

Our excellent contemporary the North
East Star noticing the apparent purpose OF
some of our Western Shore Republicans to
disregard the provisions of law, and claim
the senatorial ''carth" as their own, makes
the following sensible comments: 1--WE note
that there is some talk in Republican
circles Of doing away with the law, which
is backed by the time honored custom, of
taking one of the Senators from the Eastern
Shore. While the law may he unconstitu-
tional the custom is not, and the Republi-
cans now that they are clothed in what
may prove to be "a little brief authority
will do an unwse act if they brush aside
this privilege which has all along been con-
ceded by the Democrats of the State. As
long as the Eastern Shore can put up men
as competent to fill the position as can be
found on the Western Shore, this section
should have the right to name one of the
two Senators; but il the selection is made t.
depend solely on voters in the joint
Assembly, the Eastern Shore can be, and
doubtless would be- out-voted every time
might put up. The Eastern Shore should
not be ignored. In a long line of names
that have gained national repute, dating
back to the era of the Revolution, she can
point to as many of whom Maryland is
Justly proud as can the Western Shore, al
though Der population has always been
greatly outnumbered.
1t is but matter of simple justice that
some attention be paid to geographical
position. Senators represent the State and
the two sections of Maryland are widely
diversified in their respective interests.
In the hall of Congress. where the people
are represented, Western Maryland has five
representatives to but one from the Eastern
Shore. Let the old custom be continued
for the upper house, Of selecting a Senator
from each of the two natural divisions OF
the State.
The result of the recent election gives
the Western Shore the Governor and
Attorney General. One Senator she has
already and the very suggestion that she
should lay aside the time honored custom,
and take both Senators is sufficient proof
that it would be an injustice and that
other rights would be as ruthlessly ignored
as this is proposed to be-
There are plenty of wrongs to be righted
amply sufficient to tax the best statesman
ship in the Republican party while it is in
power without its beginning right at the
outset of it's career in this State to crush
out the long conceded privilege and right
of the Eastern Shore to name one Of the
States representatives in the National
Stnlte.

prevail in the Republican party, and that
the prestige of continued success will not
be lost to it, by the illy-considered act OF
men, whose personal zeal for political pro,
motion, seems to outrun their party dis
cretion.
No such discussion as that now on
should have been sprung upon the Repub
lican party at this time, and we hope t.
see the claims of every section of the State
equally recognized, and none ignored.
The mission of Republicanism in Mary
land, is to accomplish by legal means
better government for all her people.

EDITOR OF CECIL WHIG:-
One year ago the trustees of the poor and
insane of Cecil county thought it would be a
pleasure to the inmates of the Aims House
and Insane Asylum to give them Christmas
treat. The trustees waited on a few of their
friends and solicited contribution either of
money, cake, confectionery or anything that
they desire to give, which resulted in liberal
response. After the trustees had provided
for the treat, many other kindly disposed
people Of our county wrote to mo rs the sec
rotary of the board, saying that they wanted
to be numbered with those who were helping
to make the poor unfortunates of our county
happy by making them feel that some were
mindful of them. Some enclosed dollar
others wrote to know how they might help:
but their letters and their money came too
late, and had to return their money thank
ing them for their Willingness to help. Now
take this opportunity to ask all who want to
help to make this Christmas of 1895 brighter
even than tho last. and make glad the
hearts OF those that have had to 30 to the
aims house to spend their last days. to con
triout" what they feel able. All who desire
to help will please leave their contributions
