The Seventh Son.

According to French tradition and
belief, if q man is the seventh son of
his father, without any of the feminine
gender intervening, he is a marcou He
has on some part of his body tho mark
of a fiower-de- luce, and, like the kings of
France, he has the power of curing the
kings evil. All that is necessary to
effect a cure is that the maroon should
breathe upon the part affected, or that
the sufferer should touch the mark of
the lower-de-luce. In holy week his
power is particularly efficacious A
darker superstition concerning the sew
enth son exists i'll Portugal. 1t is there
believed that the unfortunate being who
is the seventh male in direct succession
is in the power of the prince of darkness,
by whom he is compelled on every Sat
urday evening to assume the appearance
of an ass. In this guise and accompa-
MED by troop of dogs, he is compelled
to race over moor and through village
until the light of the Sabbath dawns,
when he may resume his human shape
for another week. Bow Bells.

Cleveland Sells the American People
to the Jews.

The contract was made with August
Belmont & Co, of New York, on behalf
of Messrs. n. M. Rothschild & Sons, of
London, and themselves, and ]. P. Nor
an & Co., of New York, on behalf of J. S
Morgan & Co., of London, and them
selves. and provides for the delivery to
the United States of 3,5oo,o ounces of
standard gold coin of the United States
to be paid for in United States a per cent
bonds. A large number of other bankers
and financial institutions are interested
in the transactions, but their names are
not mentioned i'll the contract itself The
department does not know in what pro-
portions the various parties are to furnish
the gold coin or receive the bonds, as this
is matter for arrangement themselves.
By the terms of the contract the parties
are to bear all the expense of bringing
the gold from abroad. Another stipula-
ton of great Importance is that Messrs.
Morgan and Belmont agree to exert all
their financial strength and influence and
that of their associates at home and
abroad to protect the treasury against
Withdrawals of gold pending complete
performance of the contract No bonds
are to be delivered except in payment for
gold actually delivered. III view of the
probable failure of Congress, treasury
officials declare that these terms are the
best that could be procured with coin
bond
Those who are IN position to know
the Presidents views on the subject give
it as his opinion that this issue will so far
restore public confidence at home and
abroad that any other issues will be I'M
necessary, at least until the meeting of
the next Congress, in December. If,
however, it should become necessary the
President will act as promptly as may be
necessary to protect the public credit. 1t
is confidently expected by the President
that this issue will render an extra session
of Congress wholly unnecessary.
1t is stated on good authority that it
was the Presidents first intention to make
the present loan 500, ooo, ooo and this
amount was for some time insisted upon
by the London bankers, but, after much
deliberation, the President concluded
that the amount announced would prob
ably answer every purpose as fully as a
greater amount and recently he stated to
Messrs. Morgan and Belmont that, as
81 500 900 ounces of gold would place our
reserve above the 500, 100000 point, he
would not consent to purchase greater
amount The total purchase will be
S62, 400, 900, and the bonds are practically

The badger game the New York
bankers are working on the Adj
ADMINISTRATION would be amusing if it
wasn't SO Internally contemplate.
Last week they returned a lot of
gold to the sub-treasury, on the
pretense that the demand for ship
ment to London had ceased on ac-
count of the determination of the
Administrator to sell another lot
of bonds. The deal appeared to
drag a trifle and the same rogues
began to draw gold again. OF
course this is all for the purpose OF
'coaxing and frightening Cleveland
into their net.
The midland journal. (Rising Sun, Md.) 1885-1947, 1895-02-15

The "big" corporation papers
have quite recently informed the
public several times that Cleveland
and Carlisle had consulted the most
eminent bankers and fnanciers of
New York, Philadelphia, Boston
and Chicago as to what method
should be adopted to relieve the
present financial distress. These
'seminent bankers and fnanciers"
adopted measures in 1898 for the
purpose of bringing on speedily the
''distress," to compel the repeal of
the Sherman law, the funding of
greenbacks and treasury notes and
the issne of gold bonds to the
amount of $500, 600, 900 to $1,000.
900, 600 in order to consolidate the
power of the national banks, and it
logically follows that their advice
to Cleveland and Carlisle would be
to endeavor to carry out the policy
for which they had made to order
the aforesaid "distress." And
Cleveland has acted on their advice.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

By local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies,
Deafness is caused by an inAamed oondi-
ton of the mucous lining of the Eus-
tachian Tube When this tube is infamed
you have a rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing and when it is entirely closed,
Deafness is the result, and unless the in.
Illumination can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by catarrh
which is nothing but an inhamed condi-

Not Honey But Barter.

Secretary Carlisle has informed
the New York syndicate, with
whom the 100000 ounces of gold
were contracted for, that interest
bonds given in payment would not
be charged after the deposit of the
gold, and in consequence large
amount of gold was on Monday de-
ivered at the assay office. The
superintendent of the assay office
has been instructed to receive the
gold by weight and to pay in certiti-

will be counted, but will be weighed

rate of S1S,60465 plus per ounce; or,
as 43 ounces of standard gold is
exactly equal to $500, the weight
may be multiplied by 800 and
divided by 43 to determine the value
in dollars. Under these Instructions
abraded coin will be received the

offered it will be melted and lis

Pretty Woman's Ways.

They were two women, and they
were OIL the last lap of shopping tour
on the afternoon of bargain day. AS
they passed out from one of the big dry
goods establishments the pretty woman
remarked to her companions: "When /
am on one of my shopping expeditions,
l feel just as imagine man does who
takes a couple of drinks and goes off on
spree. The attractions of the shops
are too much for me. After the first
few purchases l become intoxicated
through my vanity and love of pretty
things, and begin to run up bills. Here
l have been running up bills all the
afternoon, and guess might as we'll
wind up and go to the hairdresser and
have my hair fixed up" They passed
on, and the listener could readily i'm
agine that the pretty woman's expert
ences would be quite as painful as those
of the man who had gone ON spree,
when her husband, provided she had
one, and she was pretty enough to have
one. began to receive the bills.-Buffalo

The News had an excellent article
excellent because its facts are
truths and its deductions sound,
in last weeks entitled "the way out
the way in.'' There are eight
papers published in Cecil county,
and of that number the MIDLAND
JOURNAL and News are the only
ones that take up and discuss the
living questions of the hour. The
others content themselves outside
of their local department, with
thrashing old political straw and
feeding their readers ON the chaff.
Everybody is inquiring for informa-
ton on the economic questions
which are rapidly overslawing old
party, dead issues. Why don't
the editors prepare to meet the
demand? They will be forced to it
eventually. These things can't be
longer hid under a bushel.

Grover in the Raw.

The demand of the President for $780,
900, 600 3 per cent gold bonds running
fifty years is most INDUSTRIOUS proposition
and becomes more SO when the cause for
such a demand, the retiring and destruc-
ton of our present legal tender-paper
money doing service among the people
without interest. In order to retire this
currency the President proposes to issue
$500, DOC, 900 in 5 per cent gold bonds
running for fifty years. The question
occurs to every practical man, what will
this proposed change cost? At present
this currency cost nothing; it is non
Understanding national Treasury note.
On the other hand, the cost of the change
would be appalling. Five hundred mil
lion in bonds at the end Of fifty years
would demand the payment of $780, oo,
900 in gold. One dollar at 3 per cert
compound interest for the same period
amounts to s.. IS. The compound interest
on these bonds would sum up to s.,
ooo, 900. The cost then of changing this
currency from national Treasury notes to
national bank notes would be in fifty
years
Amount of bonds 5 5OO000,Ooo
Amount of interest 2,l90000,O00
Total S2,G90,000,G10
Are the American people prepared to
donate this vast sum to the national
banks? There is no other question in
this message than the change from
national Treasury notes to that of national
bank notes. This change would cost the
people the average annual crops of wheat
Or cotton like these of 1894. Are we
willing to make this sacrifice? If So
stand by the two old parties; but if not
willing, join the Populists and make a
fight for financial reform. National
