In the matter OF health certificates Dr..
Henry Noark. county physician, says he
those issued up to date having been free OF
cost. He thinks the physician Is entitled
to some fee for them II he desires to
charge, but he had no desire to make
money ous OF people during present con-
dltions. He has had blanks printed for
making the certihcates and this has been
an expense. Should he charge for them 1t
would be simply to pay the actual ex-
penfes.

The Post to say that II II is necessary for
persons to make affidavit TO their certi-
ficate that his deputies have been in
structed to make no charge therefor.

On the Eastern Shore.

The Maryland Democratic Editors Association
held its annual meeting this year at Centreyille in
Queen Anne's county. These meetings combine
pleasure with business and the editors take their
wives or daughters with them.
The party arrived at CentreYille via the Queen
Anne's Railroad ON Wednesday evening of last
week, and were given reception ut the Arlington
Hotel the same evening, when very many of the
ladies and gentlemen of that hospitable town were
present to welcome the visitors.
A business meeting was held the next morning
and in the afternoon the party were driven to the
stock farm of Col. E. B. Emory, in Spaniards Neck,
probably the finest part of that highly favored sec
ton. Col. Emory has a tract of five hundred acres
of very productive land, beautifully located the
Chester river, about seven miles from Centreville
and is the of $4,000 horse, with record of
2.2l15 and some promising youngsters.
Through the courtesy OF the Chester River Steam
boat Company the party and number of ladies
and gentlemen of Centreyille, were taken on an
excursion at night on the broad water of the Ches-
ter river, and the trip was enivened by vocal and
instrumental mnsic, and refreshments were served.
On Friday, by the courtesy of the Queen Anne's
Railroad Company, the party was taken to the
eastern terminus OF the road at Greenwood, Della
ware. A stop made at Denton the county seat
of Caroline county where the party was driven
through the village and neighborhood Caroline
many years ago, regarded as the poorest of the
counties of the state but it is now perhaps, better
off than any,
The crops in both Queen Anne's and Caroline are
very promising both as to grain and fruit We OBJ
served wheat fields sixty acres in extent, that will
saw blackberry patches of from five to ten acres;
peach orchards that will yield well, and fine crops
of grass
The land in Queen Anne's is as productive as
Western Maryland in wheat, oats and corn, and far
ahead in fruit. The county is generally level and
farm work is not near as laborious One horse will
do what it requires two in this section to do and
rolling is rarely necessary.
Centreville is only 80 miles from Baltimore, run
of about % hours by boat and half hours drive
from Queenstown wharf. 1t is well for the people
of Maryland to know their own state, and days
excursion from Carroll would afford an opportunity
to get glimpse of that section Instead of eXcur-
sionS to Baltimore, to Penmar and Gettysburg, it
Anne's and other counties on the Eastern Shore in
order to learn something of that part of the com
monMealth.

The Dingley Bill.

On the fourth page will be found some IN
teresting reading concerning the Dingley
tariff bill, which is to produce that prosperity
the people so long for.
The farmer will observe how an attempt to
fool him is being made by the imposition Of a
tax on foreign farm products. A tax Of fif-
teen cents bushel is put upon corn, when
last year only 4,338 bushels were imported,
md this aeas seed corn only. Instead of help
ing the farmer this is a tar upon him. In
1896 the value Of imports on farm and dairy
products amounted to 81, S61, 553 and our ex-
ports for the same period amounted to $780,,
923. 632. Farmers should study this table
carefully, to see where they come in under
this bill that is to make the people prosperous.
Then let him turn to the article on cutlery,
and he will observe how the price is increased
for the benefit of trust.
The ladies will find some interesting
facts regarding the proposed tax on dress
goods that will greatly increase the prices.
They will find that wool and cotton goods,
now costing tax added, 334 cents yard, will
cost 672 cents a yard under the Dingley bill.
Another wool and cotton dress goods, now
costing rs cents yard, will cost nearly Sl.5O
The articles should not only be read but
closely studied. After close reading the
farmer can sit down and figure out how a
higher tax on seed that he may need and a
large increase on cutlery, blankets, boots,
shoes. wool hats, dress goods and all other
necessaries of life is going to benefit him.
After reflection he will conclude that John
De Witt Warmers criticism was correct, when
he said the Dingley bill is designed TO "coteh
'em a.cumin and a-gwine.

Turbulent Legislative Bodies.


The Duke Of Tetuan. The minister Of For
eign Affairs, Of Spain, boxed the ears ofSenor
Comas, a Liberal Senator, and then resigned.
He was later induced to reconsider the mat
ter. as in the crisis over the Cuban war il was
not thought advisable to dissolve the Cabinet.
Sill duel was imminent, and it was with
some difficulty that it was averted. Over this
affair, the financial needs Of the government
and the war in Cuba considerable excitement
prevails in the Cortes and throughout Spain.
In Vienna on Monday there we're scenes of
great disorder in the Reichsrath which was
the elimination Of obstruction proceedings
fors several weeks. For hours, says a dispatch,
the opposition had recourse to every parlia-
mentary device for obstructing business, and
when these were exhausted they overturned
desks, smashed inkstands threw books at the
speakers and finally there was a-general riot.

Gen. Agnus Not Hopeful.

Gen. Felix Agnus, editor of the Baltimore
american, was in New York last week, and
was interviewed by the New York Journal.
The Journal says:
Gen. Felix Agnus, of Baltimore, was in
town yesterday, and practically admitted that
the Democrats would carry the Maryland Leg
islature next fall The General has been
prominently mentioned as possible successor
to Senator German in case the Republicans
controlled the next Legislature.
~ must admit, said he, ''that the Repub-
Ecans in Maryland have made mistakes which
have not helped the party. The Mayor of
Baltimore has made mistakes, and although |
am Republican myself, | must admit that
Republican success in my State has not thus
far proven greatly to our advantage. | mean
that the men elected have not given that salts
faction we had hoped for.
Il had hoped that when Our party won in
Maryland, after suffering defeat for over a
generation. it would make a brilliant record
After short trial ! am reluctant TO confess
that the Republican party has not been ele-
waited BY the men elected to office. This may
be because the men are inexp arienced.

Tariff Debate Begun.


The tariff debate opened in the Senate on
Tuesday, on The revised Dingley bill. sena-
tor Aldrich, Of Rhode Island, made the open
ing speech, and confessed that no special
advantage could be expected from the oper-
atoms Of The law in 1885, hut that in 1900,
when the business interests Of the country
become adjusted TO the schedules OF the bill
prosperity would set in. The Senator, as
chairman Of the Finance Committee that re-
vised the bill, is perhaps the best posted he
publican on tariff schedules, and it must be
regretted that the promised prosperity that
was to follow McKinley's election, or count
ing m, has been postponed for nearly three
wears. What the people are to do IN the
meantime was not suggested, but u IS sup
posed they will live on hope and confidence.
Confidence, however, is now more discredited
than the hated 58-cent dollar, and It is not
likely that the people will remain quiet and
inactive. awaiting the Republican day OF
prosperity. Prosperity was promised to be
speedy and certain; now it is postponed until
1900. The people will not be lulled into
quiet BY any such promise. They want the
ante.election promises fulfilled at once. Al
ready they are tired Of waiting. Six months
and more have passsd, since Mckinley was
counted elected, and the country seems as
Ear off from business revival as ever. In fact
matters have grown worse, and the unrest Of
the people Is increasing. They are realizing
TOO that higher taxation is the wrong remedy
to make them prosperous. What is needed
Is economy in expenses, lighter tax burdens
and more money. The contrary IS offered by
the Mckinley Administration. The extra
session Of Congress win add greatly to the
public expense; higher taxation means the
exaetion of more Of the earnings OF the peo-
ME. and the continuation of the single gold
standard means further contraction Of the
currency, falling prices and ever falling values.
Mr.. Aldrich and the Mckinley Admins
tration will soon realize that the people are
not deceived by their proposed remedy for
business depression and hard times. The
people have asked for bread and are given
stone. aud they will administer a severe re-
buke to the party for ignoring their just ex-
pectations and the passage of a bill designed
10 paw trusts and monopolies for campaign
favors rather than conserve the public good.

Republicans Give It UP.

The Republicans of Maryland have aban-
doned hope of carrying Maryland next No
vember. Wellington is well aware that his
party will be defeated. Gen. Agnus, editor
of the american, has publicly admitted it, and
John V. L. Findlay, who aspires to be United
States Senator, in a club speech, warned his
audience that there would be mo such ava
lanche as there was in 1895 and 1896.
The Republican party will make as vigor-
Gus fight as it can, and the Republican press
and campaign speakers will hold out hope of
success, but all who are honest or not too
blind well known that Maryland will elect a
Democratic Comptroller and Clerk Of the
Court of Appeals and a Democratic Legisla-
ture next November.
Democrats will be cheered by this, but not
lulled into inactivity. The next campaign
will be more vigorously prosecuted on the
Democratic side than any campaign for years,
and rebuke to Republican misrule and in
competency will be administered similar to
that of 1867, except that the governorship
cannot be recovered.
