IN view of the almost certain short
age of feed for stock this winter, Prof.
John A. Myers. Director of the State
Agricultural Experiment Station, has
sent out a circular letter, IN which he
urges farmers to supplement their short
forage crop this year by planting a few
acres of corn for fodder or ensilage.-
An acre of corn, he says, drilled in rows
three feet apart, with the plants left
about eight inches apart in the row
will produce an enormous crop. The
planting, he says, can be done as late al
July 18th, and with fair season llnt
crop of ensilage can be grown.

DEFIED GREAT BRITAIN.
Twelve Judges of the Frederick
Court Repudiate the Stamp
Act-Their Memory Hon-
ored.

Saturday last was Reputation Day,
legal half-holiday in Frederick, al
though no one would have thought so,
from the appearance of our business
houses and banks, which did not sus-
pend operations. There was no dem
onstratlon of public nature, but "a few
patriotic individuals showed their spir-
1t by displaying the national colors
from their dwellings aud the Daught-
ers of the American Revolution visited
Mt. Oivet Cemetery and strewed flow
ers upon the grave of Judge Beatty,
whose remains were re-lnterred there
by that loyal organization. The day
was hUnored IN memory of the twelve
Judges OF the court who refused to
c"ndone the infamous act of Great
Britain III making the colonists pay an
enormous tax on all articles of COM
merce, especially on tea. The Fred
erick Judges Were the first to sign an
order refusing to use his Majesty's
stamps, and this eventually led to the
Boston Tea Party and the war of the
Revolution.

An Encouraging Sign of the Times.

Says the New York Herald The
figures given in Postmaster-(ieneral
Wilson's annual report are encourage
ing evidences of the growing prosper
ity in business circles. To the uuthluk-
ing. 1t may seem strange that such Il
tribe as two-cent stamp can be, as it
were, straw showing which way the
commercial wind blows. But it is
nevertheless true. The purchase of "a
postage stamp will not make or break
any one in prosperous or hard times,
but the revenues of the Postoffice De-
partment as regularly fall and rise
with the increase or decrease of the
general volume of business as does a
barometer in stormy or pleasant
weather. 1t has always been SO in all
countries, and the financial depression
OF the past year or two was promptly
shown in the falling away Of the De-
partment's receipts. The figures that
Mr.. Wilson furnishes are an interest
ing study, and the recent marked in
crease in the postal revenues is another
gratifying assurance of the widespread
revival of business prosperity.

A GREAT RAILROAD TRUST
FORMED.
Senator Chandler Complains.

Senator William Z. Chandler, of New
Hampshire, says the n. Y. Herald,
has addressed letter to President
Cleveland on the subject of the recent
agreement of railroad presidents, in
which he says:
az make complaint to you, and
through yon, to your Interstate Com
merce Commission, against the trust
and pooling agreement now nearly
flushed, of the eight American railroad
trunk lines, and the one Canadian line,
controlling the traffic between New
York City and Chicago.
"The agreement provides every rail-
road in the combine shall make and
maintain the transportation rates pre-
scribed by board of managers repre-
sentiug all the roads. This is "a con-
I spiracy in restraint of the trade and
commerce under the act of Jnly 2,
1890.
'The agreement also makes certain
that all competition shall be abolished
by imposing heavy fines upon any
offending road, which fines are to be
applied for the benefit of the other
roads This is division of earnings
| contrary to section of the Interstate
! Commerce law.
"Ths trust and pooling agreement
can he ann:hilated, as provided by ex-
plicit existing laws of the United
States, by injunction from the COURTS,
by an order OF the Inters tate Com
merce Commission, or by indictment
of the individuals signing the same.
ut can also easily be stopped by a
vigorous appeal from you to Mr.. j.
Pierpont Morgan, whose power over
the nine governors of the nine trunk
lines is as absolute as it was over the
bond syndicate.
at cannot be possible that you in
tend to take upon your administration
the responsibility of fastening upon
your burdened and helpless people this,
the hugest trust the world ever saw, or
that was ever conceived Of when Que
earnest word from you to your fresh
Attorney General, your ambitious
chairman of your commission, or your
omnipotent banker friend will para
lyze the iniquity of its conception"

BALTIMoRES NEW SHERIFF
Inauguration Ceremonies Quite
Simple-List of his Appoint
ments.

Says the Baltimore Evening NetOs:
In the office of Mr.. James Bond, Clerk
of the Superior Court, at noon Mon
day, John Quinn, Sheriff of the City
of Baltimore, was succeeded by Mr..
Stephen r. Mason. Mr.. Mason is the
first Republican Sheriff of the city for
years. Republicans were present in
large numbers to witness the cere-
mony.
Mr.. Mason arrived at the office of
Mr.. Bond, before whom he was sworn,
shortly before noon. Mr.. Mason
handed his bond for S25, 600 to Mr..
Bond, who examined it., and finding
it correct, started on with the cere-
monies, the first of which was the
signing of the test book by the new
Sheriff.
In slow measured tones, Mr.. Bond
read the oath of office whereby Mr..
Mason swore to uphold the Constitu-
ton of the United States and OF the
State Of Maryland, aud never to exact
larger fees for the performance Of his
lawful duty than the law allowed and
never TO turn To his own account any
moneys collected while in his official
position.
The oath being taken, Mr.. Mason
reverently kissed the Bible and then
handed to Mr.. Bond his personal
check Tor $500 III payment of the State
tax. Mr.. Mason was then congratu-
lated 10y several gentlemen in the room,
aud while his bond was being approx
ed by Judge Richie, waited in Mr..
Bonds office, chatting pleasantly with
him. His bond being approved, his
commission from Governor Brown of
ficially notifying him of his election to
the position of Sheriff for two years
was handed to him.
While Sheriff Mason was in the pri-
vate Office the men he had appointed
AS Deputy Sherlffs were taken before
MIR. James Bond by NJ. Joseph Il.
HeIne and sworn in. The following is
a correct list of Mr.. Mason's IA Deputy
Sheritis:
Joseph L. Heine, chief clerk; John
DOemlng, Frank II. Kampe, Harry
w. Amoss, John a. Campbell, Charles
II. Mcclellan, George V. Armstrong,
Charles Armstrong, Charles Kohlman,
Luaries l.. Bonn, William +. Allber-
dyce, John +. RelcKhardt, Robert
Fields and George w. Mecastiu.
The first five are Democrats and
were deputies under Sheriff Quinn.
The Others are Republicans and all are
white. Mr.. Joseph Il. Heine. who will
act as chief clerk, occupied the same
position under Sheriff Quinn.
After the deputies were sworn in
they returned to the Sheriff's Office,
where the old men instructed the new
in their duties. BY = O'clock the work
OF the office WAS progressing as rapidly
as though nothing had happened.
Sheriff Mason did no work, but spent
most of his time trying to get on the
way the office was run.

GREAT CUBAN VICTORY

Aours and Then Completely Rout

ments-Hundreds Killed.

New York, Nov. ga Cuban mes
senger, who arrived at the Cuban Junta
late yesterday afternoon direct from
the seat of the revolution, reported that
on Nov. 10 one of the largest battles
that has been fought since the Begin
ming of the present trouble with Spain
took place. The news has been with
held strictly, the correspondent OF FL
Heraldo, Madrid paper, not being al
lowed to send it out, even. The battle
occurred at Taguasco, town in the IN
terror of the island. The Spanish forces
consisted of about 10000 men, while
the Cubans had but about 1900. The
Spaniards were led by Generals Valdes,
Luque and Aldave, and Gen. Maxine
Gomez was at the head of the Cubans.
Fought Thirty-six Hours.
The Cubans had most favorable
position at the bottom of hill. For
thirty-six hours the opposing forces
fought, but the Spaniards were unable
to drive the Cubans back. The latter,
however, could do no more than hold
their own. Finally, just at critical
moment, Gen. Antonio Maceo of the
Cuban army came rushing in with a
force of $500 men. With the aid of this
reinforcement the Spaniards were
quickly routed The Cubans advanced
then toward Trinidad and Gle.
Killed and Wounded, 600.
Gen. Aldave is reported to have been
killed in the battle and the total num-
Der of killed and wounded is placed at
900. Gen. Gomez secured 700 rifles and
a large amount of ammunition. This
is believed to be the largest battle of
the revolution, larger than that of
Bayamo, several months ago, in which
Gen. Campos was wounded.

No Democrats on Important Balti-
more City Council Committees.

A Baltimore exchange says: For
the first time in many years, there
will not be Democratic member
on any of the important City Coun-
Gil committees during the life of the
new body which was organized two
weeks ago.
The few Democrats in the two
branches have, 1t is understood, re-
quested Presidents Henpighausen and
Mcclellan to appoint none but Repub-
licans to such committees as the WAYS
and Means, Highways and City Pas
senger Railways, claiming that as the
Republicans have complete control of
the city government they should
shoulder all the responsibility in en-
acting legislation, particularly during
the initial stage.
