A Big Lie.
Arena.

At the North East goldbug high
tariffmeeting last week Mr.. Singerly
the free trader spoke. He said,
holding up trade dollar;
"Here is a trade dollar that con-
tains 42O grains of silver. Here is
a legal tender dollar that contains
4124 grains, or u grains less. Yet
this legal tender dollar is worth 100
cents, and the other you would only
give 50 cents for. Why? Because
back of one is nothing but the value
of the bullion. Back of the other
is the faith of the United States,
pledged to give dollar in gold for
each one."
The "53 cent dollar" is changed
into 100 cent dollar very suddenly,
so that stock goldbug argument is
gone to the limbo of forgotten things
The difference between the two
dollars Mr.. Singerly says, "the
faith of the U. S. is pledged to
give dollar in gold for each one,"
which is one "thundering lie".
There is no such law or "pledge"
contained in any law of congress,
and Mr.. Singerly ought to have
known it or not be making public
speeches. The "trade dollar'' is
not money but a piece of silver
bullion. The legal tender dollar
as money and not piece of bullion
unless the dollar is first destroyed.

The Rising Sun goldbug marching club
had daisy time on Monday night. They
we're invited to Wakefield, Lancaster
county, to help make lively a "sound

at the meeting. They were first merry,

and the third stage is the satanic condition.
This type did not fully develop till they
reached the Sun on the home stretch
about o'clock when the club paraded
in Bank Square, fought, swore, whooped
for Mckinley and performed tanglefoot
waltz. They lost their caps, burned the
backs out of the shirts Mark Hanna fur
nished them and played high jinks gene
rally. Then they retired when exhausted.
Some in neighboring stables and others
less particular went to bed in the gutter.
Wakefield is not prohibition town.

A Little Girl Shot.

The six year old daughter of
Charles Moody, who resides on the
Taylor farm, near ElktOn, was ac-
cidentally shot with a pistol on
Thursday morning 10Th inst.
The accident occurred about $50
in the morning. Mr.. and Mrs.
Moody were down stairs preparing
breakfast, when they heard the
report of a pistol in the room above,
running to the room from which
the noise proceeded, they found
their little daughter had been shot
through the chin, the ball passing
down her throat. DIR. H. E. Glenn
son was summoned, who located
the ball and removed it.
1t seems that in playing the
children, an eight-yearold boy and
his sister discovered a 30 calibre
revolver, which they Immediately
began to examine, in some manner
the weapon was discharged with
the above result. The wound is
not considered fatal.

Yelling for Bryan.

The editor of the Perryville Record was
at Harper's Ferry recently and saw and
heard an excursion on its way to visit
Mckinley. The editor says:
After retiring, he was awakened some
time towards midnight by succession of
the most unearthly yells it has ever been
his good or bad fortune to hear. After
becoming fully aroused he was almost
dumfounded to discover that the chief
burden of the yells, was lusty cheering
for Bryan, occasionally hurrah for Nc
Kinley would be heard but it was almost
instantly drowned by renewed calls for
Bryan. During the excitement one of
the pilgrims while straying around on
the platform fell over the trestle work, a
distance of about 20 feet, on a coal pile
below and in consequence, missed making
connections with the train again and put
up over night at a hotel.
When questioned by some gold men OF
the town, he bluntly informed them that
the trip was not costing cent to veterans,
that they were all taking in free excur-
sion and were wearing Mckinley badges
because they had to, but there was one
thing the gold men could put in their
pipes and smoke, and that was notwith-
standing the fact that they were making
the trip and wearing the sound money
badges, two thirds of that very delegation
were going to cast their ballots for Bryan
and free silver.

The War of r1Oney.'

Those who marvel at the vast
sums of money which are being
collected and distributed should re-
member this is a war for the con-
quest of the greatest country on

make this country a tributary to
the money power of Great Britain,
after the manner in which Egypt,
India and every other enslaved
dependence of Great Britain is COM
PEELED to contribute.

1t is surprising to many that foot ball
players and other athletes regard sprain
or bruise of so little consequence. One
reason of this is, they know how to treat
such injuries so as to recover from them
in few days, while others would be laid
up for two or three weeks, if not longer.
Writing from Central State Normal
School, Lock Haven, Pa, Mr.. w. H.
Losch, captain of the base ball club and

Cecil Farmers Club.

The October meeting of Cecil
Farmers Club was held at the res
idence of Mr.. John p. Wilson on
Wednesday,. There was not a full
attendance of members but those
with several invited guests made a
fair company, all bent on promot-
ing agriculture by an exchange of
views and experiences. The de
struction of insects which have in
jured the corn crop occupied a con-
siderable portion of attention of the
club, and the merit of fall and win
ter blowing for their destruction
was discussed and reached a con
clusion in which nothing was con-
cluded, like the celebrated story of
Rassalas.
After proceeding with the reg
ular order of business till the hosts
essay was reached, Mr.. Wilson pro-
duced his paper and read what Mr..
FL. S. Coudon facetiously designated
the border-land of politics, if the
club wanted to go into a political
discussion.
Mr.. Wilson's essay treated of the
relation Of the farmer to present
economic conditions and impressed
the fact ON the club that if condi-
tons were not changed speedily,
the class of persons known as
American farmers was in a fair
way to become extinct and their
places be filled by race of tenants,
like England and other British de-
Tendencies who have been pushed
so low down in society that they
are not able to make themselves
heard or felt.
When the members were called
upon for their opinion or criticisms
on the essay, they expressed them
selves in a general way as agreeing
with the sentiments of the paper,
but fought rather shy lest they
might step on the political GRASS
which is forbidden in the club.
Col. Noyes, however, endorsed the
hosts essay most heartily, comment
ing on it at some length. We have
noticed that the great reformatory
movement in our public affairs
which permeates the entire social
system, has made it's impress ON
the deliberations of the club and
the subject of political economy is
claiming very much more of the
farmers thought than formerly,
and it is well this is so, for if he
neglects this most important part
ola farmers education the American
farmer is already threatened with
the fate which befell the English
yeomanry which is now entirely
extinct.
The great promoters of cordially
and social relations, the Club dinner
was announced when the insect
and economic subjects both began
to flag, and the discussion became
general round the board with no
division of opinion respecting the
excellent viands served by the
hostess to her guests. The farm,
buildings and stock were examined
by committee named for that
purpose by the president, and re-
ceived the unqualified praise of the
committee, Mr.. Wilson's farm and
buildings being pronounced the
achme of Cecil county farms and
farming. The meeting adjourned
to assemble at the farm of Mr.. G.
w. Clifford Wednesday, Nov. Is.

Ayers Sarsaparilla
80 Years Of Cures.
Preparing for the Institute.

By an act passed by the last leg
islature an appropriation of three
thousand dollars was placed at the
disposal of the Board of Trustees Of
the Maryland Agricultural College
who are empowered to carry into
effect the provisions of the act
which is to hold an Institute in each
county of the State and more if the
appropriation will justify so doing.
The trustees have appointed as the
director of the new department
VIM. L. Amoss, a farmer of Har-
ford county, who is now engaged in
organizing the work.
Mr.. Amoss corresponded with a
number of farmers of this county
and gave public notice of his desire
to meet at Elkton and consult with
the farmers on Monday last. On
the day named few-a very few
of the farmers of the county met
Mr.. Amoss in Elkton, where con-
sultation was held and the follow
ing District committees appointed,
as preliminary step to the work
in view
First district-Jerry Price, J. P.
Lusby, t. G. Cruikshank.
Second district. G. Griffith,
John J. Williams, W. D. Bradford
Third district-Dr. G. M. Ellis,
w. r. Grosh, John L. Moore.
Fourth district-J. M. Casho, G..
w. Biles, j. I. Dewitt.
Fifth district-W. j. Wilson, j.
A. Rutter, J. T. Janney.
Sixth district-Alfred Kirk, A.
J. Kitchener, D. w. McVey.
Seventh district-Col. E. Noyes,
Thos. G. Bond, VIM. T. Patten.
Eighth district-Dr. S. T. Ro-
man, John M. Rawlings, NJ. S.
McNamee.
Ninth district-E. L. Duyckinck,
J. P. Mearns, Geo. w. Clifford, Jr.
The following executive commit
tee was also appointed DR.. G. M.
Ellis, W. r. Grosh, A. Mitchell.
The executive committee is con-
venient to the county seat, where
it is proposed to hold the first in
stitute, and the duty of this COM
mittee will be to procure hall for
holding the Institute and to look
after the preparations necessary to
be made for the accommodation of
speakers, &c.
The district committees will COM
pose official authorities to confer
with the director. Mr.. Amoss, and
otherwise assist in making the
Institute a success. 1t was sug-
gested by the director, Mr.. Amoss,
that these district committees form
themselves into county associa-
ton, with secretary and chairman,
the duty or object of this associa-
ton to he the promotion of Insti-
tute work by assisting the director,
in such ways as might be suggested
by the development of the practical
work of the Institute.
The first Institute will not be
held till January, and whether the
Institute will continue for more
than one day could not be deter
mined, but it was thought that by
local aid the meeting would last
two days, with evening sessions.
The work so far accomplished is
preliminary, and for the purpose of
organizing this new branch of agri
cultural education in the county.
If the annual appropriation of three
thousand dollars is found sufficient
for holding more than one Institute
in each county more will be held.
The subjects suggested for lee
lures, discussion, etc, by the In
stitute were: Dairying, The Wheat
Weevel, Silos and Ensilage, Lime
as a Fertilizer, Green Manuring,
Peach Fellows, Poultry, Fruit Cul-
ture, Sheep, Swine.
