Not seeing anything in your valu-
able paper from this section for quite
awhile we thought we would pen you
few items. Our section was visited
by very cold wave last Sunday.
The Rev. jesse Koch is holding a
protracted meeting at the Ryan's
Glade church. May success attend
his efforts.
Our much esteemed friend, Charley
Harvey, is teaching very successful
as well as instructive school at the
Shook Shop school house. The great
est draw back in his efforts is a very
open and cold house with q leaky
roof. We were pleased to learn that
our County Superintendent, Mr.. Pal
mer, paid this school visit and we
trust he has made a note of the con-
dition of the house and that we may
expect a new and better one next sea-
son.
Mr.. John Wolf, of Deer Park, is OPP
Grating a saw mill on Mr.. T. X. Har-
veys new place for D. W. Buzzard, of
Cumberland. Two car loads were
shipped last week and more to follow.
We agree with our friend "Subscri-
ber," of Bethlehem, in regard to pro-
lection, but we are at loss to know
how those cotton tails topped those
ninety fruit trees for his neighbor
farmer Rabbits in that section must
either grow very long legged or else
the trees very dwarfy. An eXplana-
ton would not be out of place as it
sounds somewhat tishy, unless the
trees were pitted for next springs
planting.
County Commissioner E. w. kelso
contemplates building a bank barn
next spring.
Mrs. G.. E. Hilleary is cOnvalescing
slowly. Her little daughter, Lucille,
was quite i'll last week, but we are
glad to learn she is better.
Our enterprising blacksmith, James
Lish, is having quite a lot of work to
do lately in the line of shoeing, fixing
grabs, etc.
We feel much encouraged over the
prospect of getting a new and better
grade up the Nydegger hill near Cor
man as the old one is dangerousone
The writer can speak from experience.
A better grade would fill long felt
need.

The price of wheat for immediate
delivery has advanced cents per
bushel in Chicago and and three
Fights cents per bushel in New York,
while the quotations for the May OPP
ton have risen II to cents per bushel.
The relative strength of actual wheat
is due to the comparatively small
supply available at commercial CEN
tres, particularly on the Atlantic sea-
board, and to the prevalence of fair
demand for export. The rise in the
general market is attributable to in
creased speculative confidence, which
has been due to less favorable crop
conditions in India and Argentina
and higher markets abroad. The
late reports from the River Platte
region indicate that the surplus of
wheat that will be available for ex-
port will be much smaller than had
been expected. The foreign inquiry
for. Hxb nnf haC OF hna,, l.,
has been steady, and much larger
sales for export could have been made
but for the premium on cash wheat
and limited offerings. The interior
movement of wheat has fallen of, but
the decrease in receipts has been in
part due to the poor condition of
country roads. Crop prospects in the
winter grain sections continue gener-
ally favorable.
Corn receipts at Western centres
have also decreased somewhat, owing
to recent wet weather and bad roads,
which have interferred with the mar
keting of all kinds of produce. Prices
of corn for prompt delivery have frac-
tionally advanced; but the market
for late futures has ruled a shade
easier. There has been a well sus-
tanned export demand for corn, and
fair foreign inquiry has been noted
for oats, The poor condition of
country roads is largely responsible
for smaller movement of hogs to
Western packing centres. Values of
hog produce have inclined slightly in
sellers favor, owing to the steady
demand for domestic consumption
and the continued large movement
for export

Out of The Woods.

The election of Mr.. McComas to the
United States Senate is in so many
waysa triumph for clean politics and
good government that it is difficult to

it justice. In the first place, Mary

A NEW breed of prophets has arisen
from the ranks of democracy, which
bids fair to outclass all the old Compel
itors Our Uncle Richard Bland fore
tells sweeping democracy gains next
fall in the Congressional elections.
But he lisa little too general in his pre-
dictions for the present order of
things. The Honorable Champ l..
Clark comes to the front specifi cally
and announces that the democrats
will capture Congressman in every
district that did not go republican in
1896 by at least 5000 republican ma
jority. This is pretty good bluff, but it
takes Texan statesmen to do things
up artistically. One of the Lone Stars
Congressman grows enthusiastic in
the statement that the next House of
Representatives will consist wholly of
democrats" That is the kind of a
prophet to have.

: THE railroads reflect to great ex-
tent the business condition of the
country. With hard times their earn
ings are small, and vice versa The
following railroad report speaks for
itself: Earnings of all railroads in
the United States reported for Deem
Der, $43, 1854 .279, indicate substantially
the same rate of increase exceeding
last years by 105per cent, and the
earnings of 1892 for the same roads by
1.6 per cent. Since 1892 was, on the
whole, the most prosperous year thus
far, comparisons indicate, notwith-
standing the lowest prices ever
known, that the volume of business is
larger, and that in spite of some cut
ting of rates the earnings of railroads
are larger than in the best year of past
history"

Commercial conditions during the
last week have undergone no material
change. The merchandise distribu-
ton has been seasonably active in
most departments and in the indus
trial world the only unfavorable de-
velopment has been the strike, which
had been expected, among cotton
workers at important manufacturing
centres in New England Other
branches of the textile trade are ac-
lively employed, and there is little
complaint of lack of orders in other
industries. Merchandise exports con
tinue large, and the volume of do
nestle trade, as indicated by railroad
earnings and the payments through
banks, exceed all previous records for
this period of the year. Business
failures, according to Il. 6. Dunn &
Co.. are considerably smaller than
ever before known in January The
total for the last week was 374 in the
UnitedStates and 50 inCanada, against
400 in this country and So in Canada
during the corresponding week last
year.
Continued liberal receipts of cotton
and the prospects of a considerable
curtailment of consumption as result
of the New England labor troubles
have combined to check any recovery
in the price of the raw staple. The
restriction Of production and the pos
sibility of further mill stoppages on
account of the strikes have caused a
slight increase in tirnness in print
cloth prices; but the general market
for manufactured cottons has devel-
Oped no improvement. Business has
been better in the aggregate; but
operations have been chiefly in small
lots in reflection of the actual wants
of the converters and jobbers. The
wool trade has been only moderately
active; but there has been more gen
eral insistence by holders upon top
market prices, and belief is general
that further hardening of value is
the prospect, owing to the activity of
the consuming industry in this coun-
try and the strength of wool markets
abroad. Prices at the London auc-
tions have advanced 10 per cent. ow-
ing to the Australian clip shortage
and small supplies of wool in Cont
mental makets; but Notwithstanding
the rise in prices. American buyers
have been conspicuous operators in
the best wools The wooden and
worsted goods trade is active, and the
production of many prominent makes
is already heavily sold ahead. Man
ufacturers have obtained advances
ranging from 30 to 40 per cent. over
the figures current a year ago; but,
even at the higher cost, clothiers have
been placing orders with apparent
confidence.

IT Is thought that there will now
be vigorous effort in Congress to pro-
cure the enactment of some currency
legislation. In view of the contested
seat in the Senate from Oregon, it is
somewhat uncertain as to whether
the Republicans will be able to con
troll the Senate on any financial legis-
lation. 1t is believed, however, that
enough sound-money Democrats will
be found to join with the Republicans,
and in this case the currency question
will be quietly disposed of by the
adoption of proposition such. as was
suggested by President Mckinley in
his message to Congress. He advised
the retention in the Treasury of the
notes which are presented for redemp-
ton in gold coin, but which under the
present law must be Immediately re-
issued, and the increase of the nation
al bank note issues to be brought
about by allowing the national banks
to issue notes up to the par value of
the United States bonds deposited by
them as security.

of his qualifications and his record of
public service. Only after his candi-
dacy had made such Roadway as to in
dictate plainly that he was the choice
of the party's representatives in the
Assembly, did the men powerful in
the past Republican politics of the
Wellington, Lowndes, Gary
come to his support. 1t is greatly to
their credit that they did so then.
Their contrast was in marked con-
trast to what is generally witnessed
in similar contingencies nowadays.
But the candidacy of Mr.. McComas
was not forced or even fostered by
anything even remotely approaching
the character of boss influence, but on
the contrary was opposed by the men
possession of power in State politics
until it had gained such Roadway as
assured its success upon the suppose
ton that fair play would prevail in
the party councils.
=
Finally, the settlement of the Sena-
torship contest in accordance with the
will of the majority, as well as in ac-
cOrdance with the intrinsic fitness,
opens the way to a creditable session
of the Legislature. Instead of begin
ming the regular work of the session
with a record of failure or disgrace be-
hind them, the majority party must
feel now that they have it in their
power to make the present session a
credit to their party and benefit to
the State. In a course honestly and
ably directed to this end, they cannot
fail to receive the support of the dem
ocrats. The policy of getting the re-
publicans 'in hole by helping the
worst element and defeating the effort
of the best will, we may be sure, not
be restored to. Now that the Sena
torship contest, which BODIED so much
i'll, has been disposed of in a reasona-
bly, short time and in manner so
satisfactory and honorable, we have
reason to hope and expect that the
work of the Legislature will be car
ried on in the spirit of true and hon
est public service. The republicans
have, in spite of all ominous signs,
made an excellent beginning, and
the State will look to them for good
work to the end.-Balto. News.
