Trouble Amongst Maryland Horses.

The recent scare amongst the farmers
because of the hog cholera infection,
has been succeeded by fatal malady
which has attacked horses. The ma
ture of this disease is somewhat sim
gular; and it is one altogether unfa-
miliar to those practicing the veteri-
nary art in this section, Local horse
men claim that the disease is a new one
so far as Queen Anne's experience
is concerned, the present affection
never having made its appearance be-
fore. When the malady fastens on a
horse it begins to stifen in the joints
as if suffering with the founders. Then
follows a rapid swelling of the tongue.
This swelling continues to such de-
gree that it becomes utterly impossi-
BILE for the horse to swallow. Then the
horse becomes shaken with violent
commissions. During the paroxysms
of pain the animal usually dies. Prev
ious to death it is marked by q stag
gering weakness which reminds one of
the disease of blind staggers. It is
difficult to say which the disease most
closely resembles, founders, blind
staggers or lockjaw. 1t has the pecul-
lar symptoms of all three of them.
Mr.. John Council lost three the other
day and a neighbor lost one. Other
horses in other localities have been
similarly attacked. One gentleman
thinks he saved an animal by admin
istering daily very heavy doses of qui-
nine. CentreUiLe Observer.

Democratic Contention.

There will certainly be battle royal
between the Democratic leaders in our
State. Messrs. Bayard and Gray re-
present the gold element and Messrs.
Kenney and Handy the free coinage
element. Bayard and Gray have a
respectable following in New Castle
county, but the adherents of Kenney
and Handy in Kent and Sussex coun-
ties, outnumber the goldites ten to one.
The failure of Messrs. Bayard and
Gray to urge the election of Bryan will
neither be forgiven nor forgotten and
the great mass of the party will not
support them. They must endorse
the populistic doctrine of the Chicago
platform or take a back seat and per-
NIT the Kenney and Handy men to
shape matters to suit themselves.
Where the contention is going to end
we cannot predict, but one thing is
certain, that the doctrine of Bayard
and Gray is not endored by the follow
ers of Senator Kenney, Handy and
John f. Salisbury. There must be a
change of policy by one of the wings
of the party, or there must inevitably
be a split when the nomination of can
didates for the Legislature shall be
made. - Wilmington Republican.

From 65 Cent to IOO-Cent Wheat.

The extensively low price of wheat
prevailing for three years previous to
this one may have been a blessing -
like some other blessings disguise.
When the years crop was planted
last autumn, it was on a 6O-or at most
a 65-cent basis. No one then talked
even 7O-cent wheat. It was to make
profit at 65 cents bushel, and every
cent above that figure the farmers are
now getting is an additional and un-
expected profit. The low price of
wheat forced the farmers to learn how
to grow more wheat to the acre; and at
a less cost. They have learned it.
Farmers who ten years ago could n OF
afford to raise wheat at a dollar a
bushel, last year pitched crop which
they expected to make some money
from at So cents bushel. They did it
by doubling the yield and halving the
expense. Some farmers, of course,
went out of the business of wheat
growing rather than attempt the ex-
pertinent which they believe must be a
failure. These, it is probable, will
Immediately resume the business of
wheat growing. g.-EGstOn Ledger.

BUNGLING LEGISLATION.
How the Courts We're Changed.

The hader thus tells how the time of
the Courts were changed: 'The publi-
cation of the pamphlet laws of the last
General Assembly caused the disclos-
ure of rather peculiar piece of legis-
latiOn. 1t appears that no lawyer nor
any officer of Kent county had, until
then, any knowledge of the passage of
the statute changing the terms of our
Courts in this county from the third to
the fourth Mondays in April and Octo-
ber. It is stated that this statute was
drawn and lObbied through by some
Sussex county attOrnies, their object
being to secure a longer session for
the Courts in the lower county. The
strangest part of the matter is that no
member of the legislative committee
which acted upon the measure, seems
to have thought it necessary or cour-
teOus to consult any of the Kent
attOrnies upon the subject. The re-
suit has been that our officers have
been issuing their writs for the next
term of Court in entire ignorance of
the change in the law, and making
them returnable on the third Monday
in October as formerly.
When the new volume of the pam
phlet laws made its appearance, the
new statute was first known in Kent.
The result is that those writs which
have been already issued, will have to
be re-issued and a new service made of
them.
This ought certainly to be lesson to
our lawmakers not to pass measures
affecting persons without at least Civ
ing them hearing with regard to them
The next term of the Court of Gen
eral Sessions, and the Superior Court
will begin on Monday October 25th.

Kent County Case.

The Morning Ne,Os says: "We hone
the judiciary can arrange for a speedy
termination of the Kent county man
damus case. The usurpation of the
seats in the Legislature by the Kent
County Democrats was a fragrant out
rage that time will not condone. The
Union Republicans were fairly elected
by the voters of the county and they
were kept from occupying their seats
by tactics little short of violence.
The Union Republicans should press
for final judicial determination of the
issue-whether the contingent pro-
cess is to receive the judicial sanction
in this State. While the decision of
the court, even should it finally be in
favor of the Republicans, would not
give them their seats in the Legisla-
ture, it would place the outrage COM
mitted by the Democrats on record.
The Democrats should have the Judi
cial stigma stamped upon their conduct
if it is possible to do so.

We are disappointed in such a woman

love women who are of the same
coarse grain as We are. We expect to
md IN women a refined complement

reverence which a womanly woman
commands. Girls may think that
