Previous to the Hot Springs affair, Cor
bett was a 2 to l favorite over FitZ-
simmons and Corhett cash went begging
at those odds. For the present engage
ment there has been some change of
front by the betting fraternity. Joe"
vendig, who has previously taken the
Corbett end of the argument. now CON
cedes that FitZSimmons is decided fGc-
tor in the game. Speaking on the sub
ject, Vcndig says: The odds lave
shifted in favor of Fitzsimmons. For
some time past the figures have ruled
at 10 to I, hut they have now jumped
to 10 TO 1-2. / know a man who
stands ready to wager $S 800 TO SIC, 900
that Fitzsmmons will win, and he finds
difficulty In securing takers. / believe
he has made one bet of $3.50 against
$1,000, but the bulk of his money stil
lies idle.
''As for myself, l will lay to 8 and
permit any one TO choose his man. The
cause OF the change in The betting aScribe
entirely to the meetings of Corbett and
Fitzsinmons with Sharkey, the showing
made by FitzsirnmonS having made dis
tinct impression on bettors."

The billiard controversy Is not entirely
lacking in amusing features. Schaefer first
challenged Ives to play 500 points, finch
balk, on the same conditions as those under
which they played in 1892. Ives replied
that those conditions did not bar the
anchor shot, which would make the game
a farce Schaefer thereupon claimed the
championship, and Ives retorted with
challenge to s 200 points game, and
concession # 900 points to Schaefer. The
latter agrees to play the game, but spurns
the odds, and offers 1 800 points in 5000
to Ives He makes the additional proposal
that the net receipts and the stakes go 20
charity Each of these experts being SO
eager to play, it should not be difficult
to arrange game. Capt. Mike Scanl0n,
Of this city, says Ives can give Schaefer
cards and spades at billiards and then
win out.

Over Done,

There is but one way of accounting for
the unprecedented majority by which the
Republican ticket was showed under in
Cecil. Last year the party carried the
county by plurality of 22I. This year
the ticket falls behind 500 votes, one of
the candidates on the Democratic ticket,
Mr., Fryer, having majority of 763, and
so uncertain and far at sea were the most
active workers that he was anything but
confident that he would be elected. There
was no such violent change anywhere
else in the State. What caused it There
is but one conclusion that can be reached
which appears to answer the query. Too
much race track as a party question.
There may be too much of good thing,
and this was case in point. The people
saw there was more zeal than honesty in
the shouting of the Whig and Appeal,
and while it was sure to drive every race
track man to the Democratic side,-they
naturally believing if there was any
chance for them it must be there-not a
single anti-race track vote was coaXed
from the Democratic side. No one ever
dreamed of such a turnover from last
year, almost thousand in a total vote of
less than six thousand
This whirligig of election play ruins
Mr.. Torbert's chances for the Senate. 1t
is true that Mr.. Smith will not be in the
legislature to give Cecil's candidate the
marble heart as i'll the last legislature,
which may be grain of comfort.
The Sixth district was the only district
in the county that stood by its colors and
gave within vote or two its majority of
last year. That may be readily account
ed for. 1t voted for principles before
party last year and stood by them this.
The MIDLAND JOURNAL has preached the
virtue and stability of political principles
as compared with tickle party. Last year
the goldbug forces charged the Sixth
with their Roman legions and Greek
phalanx i'll vain. The most noted orators
of the country, even Billy Marine, were
imported to the Sun and rained shot and
shell from their batteries of sophistry,
prevarication and abuse, but the old Sixth,
pauopled in the armor of principle forged
by the MIDLAND JOURNAL, came out of
the storm of battle without link Of its
mailed armor broken, and this year it
stands without change or shadow of turn
ing for free silver aud down with British
goldbugism

Did you ever think of it? That the
government gives the national bank notes
to the banks. The banks pay one cent
per dollar per year to defray the expense
of printing, etc. The government keeps
safely on deposit U. S. Bonds and pays
the banks the interest semi-annually.
The government holds the bonds as
security that the banks will return the
notes at the end of 20 years, and take
back their bonds. The banks pay 20
cents on each dollar for its use 20 years,
and they loan this money and use it in
various ways that it will return them the
most profit. Who can tell how much
profit this 20 cent investment yields the
banks in 20 years? Honest men, did you
ever seriously think of this transaction OF
banks with the government?

Commercial papers report business of
the country last week decidedly bad, with
prices steadily tending downwards. AL
though our exports are unusually large
and imports small, gold does not come
over from Europe to pay for the wheat,
but instead securities, railroad and other
stocks and bonds. Money in place of
going into business is accommodating in
the banks where it remains idle. Had it
not been for the wheat business would
have been in deplorable condition. The
outlook is that next year will be the most
dismal of any in the recollection of the
oldest inhabitant. Dun's, who is always
as cheerful as possible, gives an unprom-
Using outlook.

A Great Sacrifice.

1t was great sacrifice to pay in order
to get rid of German All lis corrupting
political methods. He appeared to have
hypnotized the party, with long practice
of his deadly methods, and it chung to
him as though stricken with paralysis,
refusing to see that he was leading it to
defeat
This year when victory stood ready to
perch upon the partys banners the hyp-
motto sleep of Gormanism seized upon it
and turned its face from the Chicago
platform that filled with new life pur-
blind organization, to again follow Cor
man to defeat and the edge of the grave
for third time.
Like old Dobson the party has had its
three sufficient warnings. 1t has been
blind and deaf and lame i'll the idle pur-
suit of Gormanism. This madness has
cost the reform elements United STATE S
Senator when most sorely in need of one,
but the gain was worth the sacrifice,
Gormanism had become a stencil i'll the
nostrils of the people, and especially that
part who are dedicating their lives to a
cleaner politics and American principles.
If the German element who have had
the party machinery in their hands make
further efforts to carry it over to the
Honest money" enemy, then a new
organization will be placed in the field
which will unfurl the banner of the new
democracy and call all patriotic and free
silver men to fall i'll line and move with
the organization which is everywhere else
but i'll Gormanised Maryland bearing
down on the British party that has the
government now i'll its hands.
