The Lecture.

An audience of good size, fairly rep
resentlng Frostburg's best intelli-
gence, heard Lee Fairchild's lecture,
The Chinook" Thursday evening.
Concerning its merits there is a
divergence of opinion, many thinking
the orator as not so much at ease on
the platform as on 1.-The stump" and
others that the effort contained too
much autobiography.
Upon two points, however, all agree,
CD that it was delivered in a tone too
low, yet (2) it was too short-55
minutes.
Mr.. Fairchild is pleasingly fluent !;
his humor well framed and so modula-
ted that the climax never fails to
evoke laughter.

for the Baltimore Christian Adcocate

Reform is good thing, but it has its linn
itations. You may reform a bad hen oc-
casionally, but we have never seen any
change for the better in a bad egg.
Contracts, based upon economical
considerations, are good things.
What is economy to-day, however,
may be extravaganza four years hence.
Hence, long contracts embody all
the elements of decomposition which
make an egg irremediably and acccler-
atingly bad.

Two Observations.

The large crowd in the Council
Chamber at last meeting was so
ominous of the dissatisfaction which
prevails that the councilmanlc coun-
tenance plainly betrayed discom-
posture BETTING so unhappy an occa-
sion. Councilmen evidently did not
feel good in the presence of so
many whose welfare they had not
represented, while not one of the gen
tlemen whom they had favored was
there to encourage by his presence or
enrapture by his smile. 1t was a
comfortless season of grace.
A few days before the meeting the
JOURNAL asked the Mayor-"when a
copy of the light contract could be OBJ
tanned for publication ?" With show
of slight embarrassment he replied
ION Monday evening at the Council
meeting.' But the Light committee
reported progress" and not IL
whisper of call for the contract for
ratification purposes was heard.
The Mayor did not mention it; the
big did not want that pool stirred
any more, and even the minority of 2,
feeling that their part in the scheme
of municipal salvation had been COM
pleted, did not make an inquiry. The
way Mr.. Nickel let himself out on the
comparatively unimportant matter of
auditing Baiiiff Bowen's accounts,
however, was terror to doors of small
evils.

Better Than the Best Hotel

"Home life cements the love of
husband and wife; other modes of
Lying often loosen the tle," writes
Edward w. Box IN the November
Ladies' Home Journal. "Nor does
the question of expense excuse the
not having of ones own home. A
home is not of necessity a palace.
The humblest cottage is a million
times better than the most luxurious
hotel ever planned by the hands of
man. In the one happiness is prob
able; in the other it is just posi-
BILE. We can talk all we choose
about married happiness-that it,,
after all, rests solely between two
people, and that it makes no differ
ence where they live. That is very
good as theory. But thousands
of instances prove the contrary
that the theory will not work out in
practice. Happiness depends upon
the growth of the people who are
parts of it. People who stop to
stagnate are never happy. True
happiness thrives upon what it feeds
upon. Let stagnation enter into
two lives and happiness becomes
stagnant and unhealthy. Let our
! lives be filled with contentment,
with domestic pleasure, with that
germ of evolution which springs
from the hearthstone, and the happi-
ness which springs from these efforts
is purer, sweeter and more satisfy.
ing to our natures, our minds and
our souls. A man and wife were
made to abide together in insepara
BILE lives, and as new elements come
into that union to sweeten and hal
low it the abiding place should be
some little place, some corner in this
big world which they can call their
own, their very own, where every
thing around them speaks of the
husbands energy and the wlfe's
achievements. That is home"

The importance Of this country
as q grain producer is strikingly
set forth in the statistics Of the pres
ent years abundant harvest. Sc
lecting five of our cereal products,
viz, corn, wheat, oats, rya and bar
ley, it appears that the total yield
of these products for the year 1897
aggregate not less than 3,2O6, 6,O52,-
900 bushels.
This amount is divided among the
various products in the following
manner: Corn 1887, ,2S0,O00 bush.
els, wheat 1872 100000 bushels, oats
1922, 100000 bushels, barley G6,65O,'
900 bushels and rye 27,41S,OoO
bushels. OF course these figures
are not given out as absolutely ac
curate, but as most Of the returns
have already come in, the verified
statistics are not apt to differ wide
! ly from the result aboye indicated
AS compared with last years fig
ures covering these same products
there appears to be something Of
shortage in the present years har
vest, due mainly to the failure ol
the corn crop. This crop, from The
returns at hand, seems to be shor
of last years by nearly 100000.
600 bushels, the total crop for 1896
being 2,283, ,S76, l65 bushels, against
only 1897, ,2S0,00O bushels for the
crop of 1897. This shortage in the
present years corn crop is partially
supplied by the enormous yield o
wheat, the crop for 1897 aggregat
ing 492,000,000 bushels, agains
427, 100000 bushels for the crop O.
1896. According to these figures
! the wheat crop for the present yeal
is 65,000,000 bushels in excess o
last years crop, Another IN
creasoof some 100000 bushel
is noted in this years crop of oats
Altogether the grain harvest o
1897 is not rs large as in formc
years, but its present magnitude
nevertheless sulllces to show th
very great importance which nj
taches to the agricultural resource
Of this country.

the same date. The explanation
of the republican prophets is that
as soon as the large stocks of goods
Imported to escape the tariff du-
ties) are consumed, then the Ding
ley law will begin to pack the treas
urv. with money automatically"
Bnt as the people are not consum-
ing many goods Of any variety at
this time, the prospect is that the
! deficit will go on increasing until
even Mr.. Mckinley may have to
issue 4 per cent giIt-edged "coin"
bonds.
In the second place, there is the
matter Of currency reform. Every,
body is looking forward to the
moment when the great party Of
progress begins in earnest its work
Of currency reform. Every repub,
lican "statesman," from the mem
bers of the cabinet down to the
drivers of the capitol vans, has a
plan. We were told, at first, that
the republicans would straighten
matters out ifthe people gave them
the power to do so. They have
been in power eight months, and
everything is in a worse tangle
than ever. The southern bankers,
feeling keenly the injustice of the
present system, are preparing to
agitate, and the entire country is
waiting for the Strengthening out
process to begin.
But what do we hear from the
leaders? Why, Senator Allison, who
is so conservative that he is always
on both sides Of every question at

stung by the presidential bee), de-

Hostility to blmetaIlism is thinly

The President and hisparty's other

What VIII the Republicans Do?

The republicans are in deeper
trouble than any oftheir organs or
leaders will formally admit, though
something like y casual confession
crops out occasionally when some
statesman" is discussing the pos
sibilitv Of financial legislation.
In the first place, the republicans
have on their hands a tariff law
which is producing the very re
suits which its promoters avowed
itwould put an end to. Mr.. Dingley,
following the example of Mr.. Nc
Kinley, declared that a deficit was
very dangerous affair. 1t had
produced bond issues in a time of
peace, and had given rise to such a
lack Of confidence as to drive pros
perity out Of the country. There
fore it must be stopped, and the
way to stop 1T was to make the
Dingley bill a law. This would
not only put an end to the deficit,
but would practically retire the
greenbacks by creating a surplus
which the government would not
need.
That was the program foretold
in Mr.. McKinley's message and
carefully outlined by Mr.. Dingley
when he brought the bill from the
committee into the house, says the
Atlanta Constitution. We now
see what the Dingley law has ac-
complished. 1t has increased the
deficit, which is now $46,000,000,
as against $lS,000,000 in 1895 at

clares that there will be no fnan-
cial legislation at the coming ses-
sion of congress "of valuew Well,
haven't the republicans got sense
enough and patriotism enough to
formulate some scheme of currency
reform which, in its results, will
satisfy great majority Of the peo-
pie? 1t is not possible that they
will be able to retire the green
backs and treasury notes, for if they
did, the people would be in a worse
condition than ever; but isn't there
some reasonable and sensible plan
by which they can abolish some of
the evils Of our present banking
system? Can't they at least give
the state banks chance to issue
notes and loan them to whomso-
ever the managers Of the institu-
tions are willing to trust?
The necessity Of creating mar
kct for government bonds has given
rise to the most vicious and deadly
policy Of banking that has ever
been devised. We mean vicious
and deadly because it has practical,
Iy shut out Of the loan market men
OF brains, character, integrity and
enterprise simply because they do
not own bonds and securities. In
nine cases out Of ten those who have
bonds and securities are lending
money instead of borrowing it,
while those who do not possess them
are the very men whose energy
makes our industrial and oommerci-
al progress possible.
Isn't there something the repub-
licans can do? Isn't there some
kind of currency reform that they
can undertake?
