IN his charge to the Grand Jury at the
opening OF Court at Belair on Monday,
Judge Walters laid considerable stress upon
the time so frequently wasted upon petty
cases which come before the Jury, and
which, are not supported by sufficient ties
timony to warrant the finding of an indict-
ment. He also especially charged the Jury
not to consume valuable time in settling
personal grievances Judge Waters is to
be commended for such timely advice, and
his example could be profitably followed in
all the counties of the State, where cases
largely inspired by personal differences, ton
frequently get to the Grand Jury at IL,
expense Of the taxpayers of the county.

THE Missouri Democratic Congressman
who announces his conversion from the
silver doctrine to sound money, seems to
have done so without any promise of pa.
tronage from the White House. This is
what makes his Hop notable, although it is
feared that there will be few Democrats
to follow him unless they can get some
thing more tangible for recanting free silver
than 'tbe approval of their conscience"

CEClL'S CIVIL LIST.

For the first time in a generation Re-
publican list of Civil officers for Cecil
county has been made by Republican
Governor. If Governor Lowndes has done

in Cecil, he will leave little room for
truthful criticism. The Cecil list is good
one all through.

RELIEF GRANTED,
TO the Roads of the Western Pas
senger Association

CHICAGO. Oct. 3.-The chairman Of
the western Passenger association has
granted relief to a number of the roads
IN ms organization in the matter of re-
duced rates to Canton, o. Some time
since the western roads adopted a one
rare rate, to be added to the reduced
rate made by the lines in the Central
passenger committee, for parties going
to Canton. Some of the roads were Of
the opinion that the reduced rates of
the Western roads began at the West
ern terminals Of the Eastern roads in
stead Of the Eastern gateways of the
Western lines. This would make the
one-fare rate, adopted by the Western
roads, available for basing purposes at
points on, the Mississippi river. The
chairman has announced that this was
not the meaning of the resolution under
which the one-fare rates were made.
but as many of the roads, in the opin-
ion that that was the meaning Of the
resolution, have made the one-fare rate
good from the river points he has given
permission to all of the other roads in
the association to do likewise
The next regular meeting the West
ern Passenger association was to have
been held next Tuesday, but on ac-
count Of the impossibility of some of

CANTON, O., Oct 3,-During the day
the delegations were all combined To
them Mr.. Mckinley said:
Patriotism is uppermost in every mans
heart and home beneath our flag. You come
from different states, but you carry the same
flag in your hands. Voices: That's the
stun. We carry the glorious stars and
stripes!o and you carry the same sacred
principles in your hearts. wish | might
give every one Of you a warm handclasp.
You have my high regard and gratitude for
the interest you are showing in the triumph
of national honor, patriotism and protection.
Parties do not make issues; issues make
parties. Men who think alike act together
Every heart here is inspired by the same
consideration, and that is the well being and
prosperity of the glorious American union.
We love our institutions because they are
the freest and best in the world There
ours. And 1t never will be anybody else's
so long as the American people have patriot
ism in their hearts.
We have not only the best country in the
world, but we are the best, and we did have
three or four years ago-the best manufacture
Ing establishments in the world, and we have
the best tin plate mills and the best railroads
in the world. We have also more miles OF
railroad than any government in the world
And we furnish the nations of the world
many of them, with the oil which comes
principally from the fields of Pennsvlvania
We furnish the world with tools that come
from these several states. We have not
only the DeSt MANUFACTURES ana the best rail-
roads and the most of them, but we have
the best money in the world. We have more
gold in the United States than any other
government except France and Germany
We have more silver than any other gov
eminent except India and. China. Every dol
lar We have-gold. silver, paper-is worth
one hundred cents wherever trade goes and
in every mart and market place of the world
Now what we want to do Is to get back
what we lost in 1892. Are you all agreed as
to that? (Cries of We are.'1 And nobody
seems to be satisfied with what was done
in 1892. Those who helped TO do 1t and those
who were against il are alike Dissatisfied
What we want is to return to the normal
prosperity of the United States.
We want 70 restore confidence and we
want to set the wheels of industry in notion
We want our trains to be doubled and to
be doubled in the number OF their employees
in carrying the splendid traffic of our in
ternational commerce Now when we have
done that, then we want to see to ii that
the money of this country shall be preserved
untarDished, and the honor of this govern
ment unsullied. Then, more than that We
want the whole world to know that this IS
a government of law. And a government nv

around that government stands seventy mil
lions of free people. who love the laws they
helped make.

Lines Now Free.

OMAHA, Oct. 3.-The Kansas City &

ago under foreclosure proceedings and
July % an order was entered in the
United States court confirming the sale
There were lately placed on file with

as the Kansas City & Omaha railway
company. will doubtless purchase and
operate the road.
When the new company takes pos
session. the operation of the road will
be entirely independent of theUnion Pa
cific receivers, and it will be the first
of the Union Pacific lines in Nebraska
to go under a separate MANAGEMENT
The purchase and operation of the road
by the new company have been DELAYED
somewhat by the unstable financial
condition of the country, it is said.
but the change is one that may be
locked for at an early date now.
An examination of the records of the
clerk of the federal court also shows
an order for the sale of the ST Joseph

closure proceedings. This order has
not yet been carried out and 1t is diff

Henry Quinn and John Ryan. alias
Spider Ryan, were arrested last night
by Sergt. Davis and Patrolman Houska
on a charge of attempted highway rob-
berry. John Thomas, a stranger in the
city, was the victim, but he was so
drunk at the time the police got him
that he was not able to give any kind
of an account of what happened to him.
The officers were standing near the
seven corners when Thomas left hack
and started down Seventh street. He
paid the hackdriver $3.50 and as this
was being done Quinn and Ryan came
along. The officers watched the twain
follow Thomas down the street and
then saw the three mix up in a general
scramble Quinn and Ryan were taken
in custody, and to make sure of Thorn
as appearance in court, he was also
locked up charged with drunkenness.
Thomas had ST in his pocket when he
arrived at the station.
