WHEAT and silver, instead of being
hand in hand are not even neigh
boriy any longer, They stood side by
in price on September 1st, 1896, an
ounce of silver and a bushel of wheat
being worth at that time sixtyseven
cents each. By September 1st of the
present year the ounce of silver had
fallen to fifty-one cents and the bushel
OF wheat had advanced to one hun
dred and three cents, making the diff
ference between them wide. Recent
reports from Russia, which show that
her grain expectation of 1897 has been
only about two-thirds that of 1896,
and that her this years crop will not
warrant the expectation of any grain
coupled with the shortage in other
parts of the world, indicate that the
disparity will be still greater within
the next few months.

new legislature which will be elected
this fall be made to promise that they
will do all in their power to have

Citations discontinued. They pay
their agents large commissions to

premiums, and when you have paid
into the association a few years and
find yourself paying them twelve per
cent on bonded mortgage, and want
to withdraw and pay off your mort
gage, they will keep all the interest
and premiums and deduct ten per
cent. off the. amount of your stock,
which is virtually giving them
twenty-five per cent. on your own
money. Now that this thing has
gone so far to make a few men rich at
the expense of the many borrowers OF
these associations, it is high time for
the legislature of Maryland to take
such action as will secure to the many
borrowers the privilege of borrowing
money at reasonable rate of interest
Very respectfully yours,

SOME RtMBLING THOUGHTS
I BY MEMO
[Copyrlghted by Dawe & Tabor

ICop4rtghted by Dawe & Tabor.
To ALI ABOUT OsTRICHEs = We
cannot know what this gawky bird,
with it's hap-hazard feathers, actually
has in its mind unless we be ostriches
ourselves; but we may attempt to
think its thoughts by reason of
watching its actions, and actions
speak louder than words; which is
desperately true of other two-legged
creaturess besides ostriches. Now
according to the accounts of travellers
this bird when alarmed has a way of
hiding It's head; the idea seeming to
be that if it cannot see the pursuer,
the pursuer sannot see it. If closing
the eyes really stops pursuit, what a
pleasantly easy Vine this sufferer from
woman's whims would have. But
troubles do not vanish thus easily,
and we laugh at ohe poor Ounce of a
bird, who dreams that he has blOtted
out the world and it's miseries just by
refusing to see them; yet, there are
other ounces with the same number
of feet, and they do not all wear
feathers.
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1897-09-30
1t is truth Of nature and still would
be, even though we never had
wrenched its secret forward into light.


Ever the sun shines. Though t he night
Brings darkness, yet, not vanished quite,
Our faith is helped by mirrors dim
The misty stars, the moons cold rim.
Or, when the cloudy veil hangs low,
Some shreding fleece with gold will glow
And bid us hope. Fen the sad soul
Who dwel's where months ofdarkness roll
May find his nfidelity
Rebuked by some pale stars firm eye
And still, through qucStiOnings and doubts
And ridicule and mocking shouts,
Though all men say no sun exists
And each one argues as he lists
And. though the planets all combine
To hide his face, still doth he shine
Some day no cloud shall cloak the hill,
No mist the gloomy valley hII;
But every shadow Ace away
Out driven BY tae perfect day.
My brother ostrich, let us think
further one step of the one whose fail
ures have made you hide your head
| reckon you would regard him as in
expressibly stupid who tried to pic
ture to himself the Grant or Washing
ton monument, with nothing before
him but a sharp edged chip. Its
rough appearance, its dangerous
points, its unfinished and unpublished
sides are not the right things by which
to estimate the original of which it is
a memento. Think now if you please
of those wretched failures among men
and women Of good profession, and
learn what | would argue concerning
them. Mere fragments are they, and
bear no resemblance to the grand
block of which they were once a part.
They have caused you heretofore to
bury your head from the sunlight of
day. Open your eyes now and a
wholesome world growing more and
more full of great things, learned to
be true, is yours to look upon and dis
port yourself in for your little day.

Once upon time, as the fairy tales
express it, some hunted ostriches put
their heads together-they would bet
ter have been scurrying over the
sands-and when they were huddled
like boys in foot ball scrimmage,
one of them suddenly exclaimed, 81
cannot see any hunter; there is none" :"
and SO said they all; but they lost
their feathers just the same.
On another occasion an ostrich
thrust his head into a narrow hole.
He had moment before been in the
full glare of the sun, but in the dark
ness he saw nothing, so he communed
with himself, 81 see no sun, | see
nothing; there is no sun, no nothing.
Up to this time | have been dream
ing" But the herbage kept on grow
ing, and the ardent sun looked after
the neglected eggs and gave the final
warming influence to hatch out an
other generation of Ounces.

There are people in the world who
profess to be good, they bend the
knee in the sanctuary, they freely
give Of their money, they shout loud
''Amens''; until some fateful day they
core tuplbling down in local esteem;
| for this Sunday school uperintendent
or that deacon has robbed a bank or
wronged woman or any one of long
list of things that ruin life and bring
| disgrace on fair careers. Then is the
| favorable time for the human ostrich
to come along in the form of young
man, full of questiOnings in his own
mind, and full of conceit when his
mind, on little evidence or much, is
once made up. He argues thus to
himself: "What did So and So pro
fess? Christliness. What did he do?
! Stole even poor widows mite. On
what did he base his religion? The
Bible Who is supposed to give au
thority to the Bible? God. There
fore, I will not believe in God nor the
Bible nor religion"
am not intending to argue here
what things are true and what things
are untrue, but | want you to see the
charming duncery of your logic. Let
me show you your own ostrich way,
as in a mirror All the ancientS were
prepared to swear that the earth was
flat and the sun its attendant satellite.
| They were even prepared to kill those
who would testify differently. But
while they are processing to run the
universe to suit their narrow minds,
what was the truth? The earth was
globular, and its orbit around the sun
has been practically unchanged for
ages. Now it is evident that all these
millions, ignorant of the truth, be-
lieved in untruth, and yet all their
myriad minds did neither affect nor
hinder the planets in their appointed
journeys.
Again suppose we all with one ac-

sun, we should merely proclaim our
own blindness and the sun would not
be affected a particle. 1t would he
still there, hanging hotly above us,
our denials of it's extence would be in
descriable nothings.
Now supposing God to exist; the
Sacred Books of any of different re-
ligions with any number of different
inaccuracies lived forth by any mum
ber of frightful frauds-fakirs of Hin
dustan or evil men and thieves of
| Christian churches-dO not affect His
existence or put Him aside. If He ex-
ist, million denials of His existence
amount to nothing more than did
ages of ignorance in relation to the
power that kept our globe circulating.
If basic fact of the universe be
true, it has been true always and al
ways will be true, even if never dis
covered. Think of the modern chain
ing of electricity and you will see what
| mean.i The wonderous power we
now control to pull our trains, light
our rooIh cook our meals, has been
here as song as the world has existed.

full consideration to the matter.
Since Congress convened onFebruary

the stand of President CreSpO has won
