Correspondence of the Beacon


Whilst Mr.. Giles r. Dyer was return
ing from meeting Of the Trustees CT
st. Mary's Female Seminary, held in this
town on Tuesday last, the bolts which
held the body of his road-cart to the
cross-bar broke, and the body of the
cart becoming inverted, Mr.. Dyer was
caught between the back of the cart and
the cross-bar, the dash board scraping on
the ground held him as in vice. In
this position he was dragged consider
able distance, the mare running at full
speed. Mr.. Dyer held on to the reins,
and at first thought he could check
the animal, but was rendered uncon-
scious by blow on the head, and has
no recollection how he got freed from
his perilous position. When he recov-
cred, one shaft was lying by his side and
two hundred yards further on was the
road-cart, completely demolished, hav-
ing come in contact with tree. The
mare was caught about mile and half
down the road, and was uninjured. A
colored man passing in a conveyance
shortly. after carried Dir. Dyer homo.
Mr.. ID. was badly bruised about the BODY
AMI had nine cuts and scars on his head
and face. Mr.. Dyer had in his road cart
pitch-fork and two hoes, the handles
of which were precipitated on the mare
when the accident occurred. which
caused her to become frightened and
run.

Yesterday week SHOULD be day to re.
member. 100 P. NJ, three long whistles
OF the steamer Potomac of Buzzard's
Point told the good news. Capt. Geo
ghegan kindly consented to take the
children of St. Mary's Academy for a
little trip around to St. Clements Bay
and return. We ali made for the wharf,
and after counting noses, went aboard
with high expectations, that were fully
realized, of nice trip. Abell's wharf
was made in due time, where some were
delighted by q glimpse of home folks
and friends. A toot and again we are
of for Towards wharf. The freight
was light and stay short. Now for CO.
bruins wharf. Here we hardly had time
To throw kiss to those on shore.
Stones wharf was next and last stop
page. Here all hustled to land, as the
Captain said he would be some time
there. A beautiful view rewarded a
pull mp the steep hill; for it certainly
is charming situation and everything
is in apple pie order. We were sor-
~ to leave the good people on the
top of the hill. And now we must re-
turn in time for a good nights rest, for
tomorrow examinations will take the
place of an enjoyable trip. Picnic fash
ion all had heavy baskets starting, but
they lost weight on the trip-salt air has
the tendency TO increase the appetite
The good Sisters, knowing the effects of
salt air, had some little odds and ends
with them to counteract it. To whom
are we indebted for that enjoyable trip .
We would like to answer, but not hav-
ing fortified ourselves with authority to
publish names, must be limited to saying
her name is in benediction at st. Mary's
Academy. and all return sincere and
hearty thanks. To Capt. G. and all on
board we bow with pleasure, for they all
did what they could to increase the sue
cess of the trip.
Joys are seldom unalloyed. The al
10y and only one we are glad to say in this
case was the appearance of few young
men. 1t would be stretch of grace to
use the word gentlemen, for gentlemen
do not go unlimited. n. B.

GREAT MILLS. May 30, 1890.
Messrs. Editors Notwithstanding the
threatening weather on Monday after
noon, May 22nd, quite large crowd as
sembled at the Factory to take part in
the supper and ball previously adyertis-
ed in your paper. Early in the evening
the good people began to come in with
their baskets, and by o'clock the ia
bles represented that of first-class ho-
tel. At that hour supper began, and
Mr.. James j. Norris, of Great Mills, who
was ticket agent, was kept busy selling
supper tickets. The house was filed to
its utmost capacity, and for hours the
table was well-filled and ham, lamb, oys-
tiers, etc, disappeared rapidly. When
supper was over, it was found that the
dancing hall was so packed that at the
suggestion of Mr.. p, of Susquehanna,
the company was divided, and part went
to the dining hall. The Cedar Point
string band was in attendance and rem
dered valuable service Professor John
Redman and Bro, of the Factory. fur
nished the music at the hall. The coun-
ty was well represented from Leonard
town to st. Inigo's, with considerable
sprinkling from Solomon's Island, Cal
vert county. Everything went merry
as q marriage bell, and the ladies who
had the affair in charge are full of praise
for the liberal patronage and good be-
haviour OF the company and very much
regret the absence of Father Ffnegan,
the pastor, who was kept away on ac-
count OF the threatening weather. The
net proceeds were 81. j.

the light of the increased production of
gold. While recognizing and admitting
the beneficial effects of that increase,
as all must who accept the quantita-
tive theory of money, he at the same
time emphatically declares that he does
not consider the increase to be suffi-
cient in amount, or likely to continue
long enough to justify bimetallists in
abandoning the cause for which they
have so long contended.
He shows by the authority Of Jevons,
one of Englands most eminent none
tary writers, that while from 1850 to
1870 the worlds stock of gold was near
ly doubled, prices rose only about fif-
teen per cent. If other conditions, that
is to say, business in general, had re-
manned the same, a doubling of the
money supply would have doubled
prices. But they did not remain the
same, and they never do. As soon as
the increased supply Of money begins
to advance prices, production is slim
ulated and this checks the advance, so
that the rise of prices will be much
less in proportion than the increase
of the money.
He also adverts strongly to the i'm
portance of the exchange question in
it's bearing upon trade relations with
silver-using countries. If the attempt
be made to extend the gold standard
into India, China, Mexico and other
countries, or even to fully establish it
in Russia and Austria, the increased
demand for gold from those sources
alone will be vastly greater than any
probable increase of gold production;
while if it be not done the broken par
of exchange will continue, making per-
manent the advantage of silver stand
ard countries in international trade.
Concluding, the general says: Hence,
while admitting and welcoming the
beneficent effect of the present in
creased production of gold, bimetallists
believe that it would not only be nm
wise and unsafe to accept the present
gold supply as likely to be permanent
and sufficient, but also for reasons CIV
en-, believe that justice to mankind re-
quires the establishment of bimetal-
lism and that to reestablish it would
benefit not only this country, but that
it would help the world
All of this, however, will make no diff
ference with those who challenge his
fidelity. They have a motive in doing
So and it is safe to say that the charge
will be repeated ad nauseam. 1t is
simply a new form of the old cry of
stop, thief" and a cunning ruse by
which it is hoped to deceive many who,
in good conscience, left the republican
party in 1896,

duty. Those who are ready to die for the
cause of liberty salute you.
Guerin has finally capitulated, theat-
rical and bombastic to the last. To
understand such scenes as are being
enacted in Frances these days, you
must understand the French character
William Hazlitt has described 1t as it
existed during the revolution of 1913,
and the description still holds good-in
a century the French mind has gained
very little in strength and stability.
They are" says Hazlitt, "a people ex-
tremey susceptible of provocation.
Like women, forced out of their natural
character, they become furies. Nat
urally light and quick, good sense and
good temper are their undeniable and
enviable characteristics; but if events
happen to stagger or supersede these
habitual qualities, there seems no
end of the extravaganza of opin-
ion or cruelties in practice of
which they are capable, as it were,
from the mere impression of novelty
or contrast. They are the creatures of
lIlpulSt, WHeliltI SOOu VI bdu. hSii
very thoughtlessness and Indifference
prevent them from being shocked at
the Irregularities which the passion of
the moment leads them to commit; and
from the incest sense of the ridiculous
and the justest tact in common things,
there is no absurdity of speculation, no
disgusting rodomontade or wildness of
abstraction, into which they will not
run when thrown off their guard. They
excel in the tIifing and familiar and
have not strength of character or
solidity of judgment to cope with great
questions or trying occasions"
Such then is the French character,
ESSENTIALLY passionate and weak, osten-
tatiously daring enough on occasion
but lacking the iron resolution and
fixedness of purpose so eminently char
acteristic of the Anglo-Saxon.

LATIN ALLIANCE SCHEMES
IN SOUTH AMERICA

will devote itself to making goods for
the South American trade. Our COM
mercial progress there would be good
deal impeded by an alliance among
the South American republics such as
the Italians have suggested. 1t is there
fore, pleasant to see that Notitia. the
organ of President SALES, discourages
the idea with emphasis. 1t doubts the
possibility of an alliance of the three
chief South American countries, and,
supposing it possible, it does not be-
lieve that this union of weakness" as
it calls it, could "counterbalance and
annul the force of the United States"
There can be no South American alli-
ance of any worth which does not in
'clude Brazil, and this hostility to the
plan indicates that our trade will be
left to fight its own way without official
hindrances.
But the thing which italian diplo-
mats behind the proposition saw lies in
the evolution of the future. That is the
alignment of the Latin nations into one
camp and of the Anglo-Saxons into an
other. AS the world grows smaller and
intercommunicaton more easy the COM
bination and consolidation which is the
ruling spirit of the age is likely to draw
the nations into sympathetic under
standings, If not into alliances, and
these will run along the lines of blood
and feeling. Italy thinks she sees the
beginning of the movement in the good
understanding between England and
this country, and the attempt to ex-
tend the triple alliance to South Amer
lea is a move on the worlds chess board
in reply. The interesting point in the
growth of this tendency in the next
country will be the position of Ger
many. In blood she is Saxon, but her
interests and her habits of thought at
present agree with the Latin nations
as against England. If the plan of
Latin alliance were more than a dream
to-day Germany would no doubt be
found in that camp. That Is probably
the reason that the Italian letter was
written. But the Germany of thirty or
forty years hence may not be the abso-
lutte monarchy of William III. If the
Saxon spirit of self-rule grows there,
Anglo-Saxon sympathies and friend
ships will follow. Then a Latin alli-
ance would be almost feeble enough to
welcome Spain.
