BRYAN IN ILLINOIS.

The following extract is taken from
Mr.. Bryan's great speech at Springfield
last week:
You may continue you. gold stand
ard until you toreclose the mortgage on
the farmers farm. but when that mort
gage is closed the man who buys in the
farm will not work it himself He will
want tenant. and the farmer can be.
come tenant on the farm. When the
farmer ceases to be home owner he can
still live as tenant and he can make
enough off the farm to feed his family,
and if necessary we can 60 back to the
old times where the wives and daughters
made the clothes for the husbands and
sons. The farmer can live, but when
the wage Garner loses his employment the
means OF feeding and clothing his family
are gone. The farmer can burn his corn
for fuel when he cannot buy coal, but
the miner cannot eat coal when he fails
to buy wheat (Applause and cheers)
II say, my friends, that in contest Of
endurance the farmer will be the last to
perish, because he was the first when
this process of civilization began. But
there is no need for test of endurance
The principles, the policies that are good
for the farmer are good for the laboring
man, and they ought to stand side by
side and shoulder TO shoulder IN restoring
this government to its old foundations
where it will guarantee equal rights to
all and give special privileges TO none.
II read phamplet issued by Buffalo
banker in which he declared the prosper
ity OF the farmer and laboring man de-
pended upon the prosperity Of the busi-
ness man. My friends, no man believes
in that proposition will ever be able to-
understand any economic question. The
laboring man and the farmer do not de.
pend upon the business man. The busi-
ness man depends for his prosperity upon
the prosperity Of the farmer and the
laboring man. Those who produce
wealth are the foundation Of our social
system, and until that wealth is produced
1t cannot be distributed and unless the
producers are prosperous there can be no
general prosperity"

For several months past the residents
of the vicinity of Thurmont have been
harassed by number of robberies but
were unable to apprehend the perpe-
traitors About three weeks ago the

learned that there was gang operat-
ing in the community and hiding the
booty in the mountain. Also that a
disturbance was going on over the dis
tribution of the plumber. This gave
him all opportunity to gain the conf
dence of one of the party who gave him
the names of number of the others,
also where the stolen goods could be
found The detective, assisted by Sher-
iff Mcbride, Riding Deputy Crum and
several other assistants, made raid

The Frederick and Middletown
Railroad

Operations on the Frederick and
Middletown Railroad are progressing
finely on this end of the line and the
track is now laid as far as the West
Patrick street Bridge, commencing at
the Pennsylvania depot. The Penn
sylvania Railroad has put in cross
ing on East Patrick street, preparatory
to making a ''y" connection. AT the
Market street crossing culvert is be-
ing built in each gutter, so that the
water can pass under the rails.
The same" plan of crossing has also
been adopted at Neidhart's alley. On

The Electric Light Company Must
Paw Taxes.

A decision by the Judges of the Cir
cult Court, of this county, was handed
down on Wednesday last, in the in
junction case of the Frederick Elec-
trio Light and Power Company, YER
sus the Corporation of Frederick, to
restrain the City Register from levy
ing upon the plant of the company for
the payment of taxes overdue. The
Electric Company claimed to be
manufacturing company, and there
fore under city ordinance permitting
manufacturing companies to operate
free Of taxes for number of years
were exempt from taxation for that
period of time, aud refus d to pay.
In the opinion of the court electricity
Is not a manufactured article and that
electric plants do not manufacture,
but merely distributes electricity. The
case was argued before Chief Judge
James McSherry, and Associ-
ate Judge John A. Lynch, ,of
the Circuit Court for Frederick
County, by City Attorney Pam
pei for the city, and Mr.. F. l.. Stoner

July b, 1896.
Your edition of last week contained
notices of the deaths of we'll known
people-Mr. John Ebert and Mr.. Jesse
Hunt. With the exception of Mr..
Lewis Bruner, there was not better
posted person on municipal affairs than
Mr.. Ebert. He was thoroughly posted
on the system of water works of your
city, lie was always interested in the
welfare Of Frederick and your city has
lost a good citizen.
The death of Mr. Jesse Hunt recalls
"reminiscences of Frederick in the days
of yUre; the oldest living resident can
call 10 mind the store of the Hunts on
Market street, near the old City Hall,
and which was removed to make room
for the present City Hall; it was
stone building, over the door of the
store was the sign "The Two Hunts"
painted in plain letters; the store after
wards, if remember Alright, was occu-
pied as a stationery store by the father
of Mr.. r. Brown Henderson. The old
residents, like the landmarks, are rap
idly passing from memory and sight.
A very interesting history of Frederick
city could be written of the city in the
anti-bellum days.
Last Friday afternoon, the 3rd inst,
between and 3 O'Clock, was one of
our hottest days, the thermometer reg
istered go.
The 4th was quietly observed in this
section. AS this holiday always occurs
about the busiest season of the farmers,
the non-Observance OF it does not arise
from lack OF patriotism, but is mat
ter of necessity.
The summer bOarders are now MAX
ing this section their favOrlte resort.
Our springs furnish water at q temper
allure not higher than 500 or $50; in
the evening the air is cooled by the
balmy breeZes from the mountain,
redolent with the odors of the wild
flowers and the new mown hay. The
following are now summering in this
section: MIR. Nicholas Schlicker and
family: Mrs. January and son, all of
Baltimore, are the guests of Mr.. George
Shaffer.
Miss Harriet Slifer, of Hagerstown,
is visiting her sister, Mrs. Chas. Falk,
near Montevue.

Our famous "White Rock" drew
quite large gathering from all parts
of the country and city on the 4th.
Thrashing is now IN order and the
steam whistle is heard in all directions.
Many of our farmers will thrash their
crops as they haul it in from the fields.
Mr.. e. A. Kaufman, Jr., of Balti-
more, spent last week in this and Brad
dock vicinities.
Guess Maj. Mckinley knows by this
time with whom he has swords to cross.
Hope the boys will hold together at
Chicago and choose a good leader.
Whether he be for gold or silver, we
want an honest man, like Cleveland.
On Wednesday of last week Mr.
Nicholas f. Rickerds. one of our wOr-
thy widowers, left for New Orleans,
where he has an engagement of matri-
mouy, the result of advertising; then
they say advertising don't pay. Some
people don't know a good thing when
they see it. Now just see how Nick did
it. Several years ago he advertised in a
newspaper, under the heading, "A
Widower's Wants." The result was a
correspondent from nearly every State
in the Union. He finally settled on
the one in New Orleans, where he has
now gone to consummate his engage
ment. We wish them joy and happi-
ness, and hope that neither of them
will ever have cause to regret their
novel courtship and marriage.
Messrs. Gaver, Lakin and Palmer,
the assessors, were in this place on Sat-
urday last and quite a number of our
people know how much they are worth.
Our cornet brass band was down at
the Relay on the 4th, making the fourth
time in succession the boys We're there
on tie 4th of July. They enjoyed the
trip very much.
