Less Confidence and rlore Cash.

The public sale of cows by Passmore
Brothers near Fairville, Pa, last week
was a cash down sale and the stock
brought as good prices as though the sale
had been a credit transaction, payable
months after. Discounting the future IS
bad policy. The future for several years
has been harder to take care of than the
present. 1t is the essence of the gold
policy or confidence" financial
system. Get man in debt and run him
down.

A Washington Anniversary.

Mayor George B. Kerfoot, of
Elkton, has received a letter from
Mrs. John Ritchie, Regent of Mary
land, Daughters of the American
Revolution, asking his cooperation
in honoring the centenary of Wash
ington's farewell address, issued
September 10Th, 1896.
The following suggestions are
made by the committee:
"That the day be marked by a
universal display of the flag ON all
public and private buildings.
That the importance of remember
ing tbs day be placed before pat
riotic organizations, presidents of
colleges, superintendent of public
schools, all institutions of learning,
boards oftrade, and civil authorities.
That the public press be appealed
to, tore publish this, "Washington's
Legacy" to the end that it may
reach the home of every citizen"
There never was a time when
the most important advice and
warning contained in the Farewell
Address, needed urging upon the
American people so earnestly as
now. That warning was to avoid
all eangling alliance with the mon
arches of Europe. In place of
taking heed of this solemn warning
of the Father of his Country, the
republican party and the tory
element of the democratic party are
urging the people to favor the most
dangerous alliance with European
nations. a money alliance.

1t is often the forerunner of serious ILL

Suggestions by the School Commits
SiOnerS.

The School Board is making an
effort toprovide bOoksand stationery
for all pupils and asks the assist
ance of both teachers and patrons.
The teachers can aid by ordering
no more books than they really
need and by requiring the books to
be well cared for. Patrons can aid
by furnishing their own books
whenever convenient. The amount
received by Cecil county under the
free book law will not be sufficient
by a considerable sum to supply
free books to all, and the Board
may at any time be compelled to
issue an order limiting the supply
of books to the extent to which the
appropriation will go, which will
probably end with the Fifth grade.
If patrons and teachers assist, full
supplies may be continued.
Pupils of the sixth grade and
upward in nearly every county in
the state are required to find their
own books. That is the kind of
free book law we have.
Teachers are notified to send all
acquisitions for books to George
Biddle, Examiner, Elkton, Md.
If the school board will sternly
enforce the above policy there will
be plenty of books we have no
doubt. Make the most scrupulous
economy obligatory on the teachers,
and neglect on their part a cause of
dismissal.

Republican Primaries and Convention

Saturday was very unpropitious day
for political meetings but day to rejoice
the farmers heart. Saturday, September
5th, was the day appointed to hold pri-
maries to choose delegates to county
convention, the business of which was to
name four delegates to represent Cecil
county in the Congressional convention
which assembled in Baltimore on
Wednesday, to nominate candidate to
represent the Second Congressional Dis
trict of Maryland in the 55th Congress.
The primaries were SHINY attended,
the day placing damper ON all but the
most ardent party men. The delegates
chosen to represent the Sixth district
were-John w. Terry, R. L. Christie, H.
T. Brown, w. T. Mcclure, George A.
Mckinney.
The county convention was called to
order by VIM. ]. Smith, who was elected
chairman and Webster White, secretary.
The following resolutions were offered
by H. M. Mccullough, and adopted
amidst applause:
Resol0ed. That the republicans of Cecil
county in convention assembled re-affirm
their allegiance to the National Repubii-
can party and pledge their earnest sup
port to the election of Mckinley and
Hobart, believing that thereby only can a
return to prosperity be secured.
ReS0l0ed.. That our delegates TO the
Congressional Convention are instructed
to vote for the nomination of Hon. VIM.
B. Baker, whose answering devotion to
the cause of honest money commends
him to the citizens of this Congressional
district for reelection.
For delegates to the Congressional Con-
vention the several districts placed in
nomination:
3 Joseph L. Wells 80
S j. Wesley Falls :. IS
6 William T. Mcclure 40
7 A. S. Davis go
g Webster White "a
Messrs. Wells, Mcclure, Davis and
White were declared elected and the con-
vention adjourned.
The Sixth district was "cat bird" in the
convention, the delegate having led the
poll.
Mr.. McCullough's resolution was of
course only intended as perfunctory in
declaring that the election of Mckinley
and Hobart is the only road to prosperity,
and was meant to be interpreted as the
road to continued prosperity for the gold
trust and continued hard times to the
people.

Our attention has been called to

Our attention has been called to
all able editorial in the Newport
News, of two weeks ago, the sub
stance of which was, that the rea-
son The contract for the completion
of the new project for deepening
Yaquina harbor has not been let,
was because contractors were afraid
TO bid i'll the face of the free silver
agitation, not knowing what kind
of money they would receive in
payment therefor. 1t is an insult
to the intelligence of every reader
of the News to print such wilfully
false and misleading statements.
The reason no bids have been re-
ceived is simply because none have
been asked for. The News knows
that. Let the department fulfill its
duty under the bill and there will
be plenty of bidders, and they will
take their pay in lawful money of
the United States, either gold or
silver. If further proof of this was
needed we have only to recite the
Iact that the very week the News
published its misleading statement
that the firm of Wolf & Zwicker. of
Portland, were awarded the contract
to build two torpedo boats for the
government. There were six of
these boats to build and the govern
ment received more than twice six
bids to build them. Does this look
like bidders were afraid to bid on
account of the money they would
be paid in?

Upon my judgment l would
never have voted for the Mckinley
bill. l agreed with a number Of
senators Oh this side that the Nc.
kinley bill went far beyond what
we ought to have done. 1t was
defective in not producing enough
revenue, for one thing, The sena-
tor from Ohio says it would have
produced enough revenue. 1t did
not produce enough revenue. We
barely got through the fiscal wear
1898 with s., 900, 900 of revenue
over and above the expenditures,
IN hen we did not pay out a large
amount of appropriations that had
been made, and if they had been
paid there would have been an
actual deficiency hat year, as the
Senator from Ohio himself and
everyone else know. 1t would not
Go to say there would have been no
deficiency under that bill.-Speech

system is reached by the blood, and on
its quality the condition of every organ de-
ponds. Good blood means strong nerves,
good digestion, robust health. Impure
blood means scrofula, dyspepsia, rheuma-
