each other, particularly in Frederick, Hag
erstown and Cumberland. \ record has
been obtained for the years | S94 and 1895
and S97 and 1898. Of assaults by Negroes
on whites
The record in Cecil is the worst There
were no assaults by Negrocs on white peo
pie in the years S94 and 1898, In 1897
a lady was assaulted by a Negro On High
street, Elkton, at night, and her assailant
escaped On jan /, 1898, a lady was AS
saulted in her husband store, at Elkton, by
a Negro she caught in the act Of robbery.
She was too frightened to give description
of the man and he escaped. On March IL,
1898, a Negro shot and killed a white man
at hotel in Elkton. He was sent to the
pcnitenuary for Is years. On June 10,
1898, lady was attacked by colored man,
at night She was not able to positively
identify a man arrested on suspicion On
June 2l two days later, a Negro attacked
three ladies near Elkton. who were driving
home from that place. They fought him
until assistance came when he ran off. He
was subsequently arrested and convicted
and is now serving 20-year term in the
penitentiary. On July 5, 1898, Il lady
of Elkton WAS attacked and pulled out of
bed at night She scratched her assail-
ant face, and by that mark the Negro was
identified, convicted and sent to the peni-
tentiary.
In Howard county there were two as
saults on white people in 1894. In 1895
Jacob Hensen was lynched for the murder
of Daniel T. Shea On April 23, 1897,

Jail for 90 days for attacking a lady.
Alex Brown was sent to the penitentiary
for three years for assault on Frank Griffith
on July 9, 1897, and Charles Matthews
is wanted in Howard for a serious assault
on Antoine Simile on June %, 1897.
In Charles county there were no assaults
in 1894, but one in 1895, one in 1897
and three in 1S9S-one under Democratic

The Cost of Bad Roads.


Maurice Z. Eldridge, of the Department
of Agriculture, who has special charge of
the Office Of Public Road Inquiries, has
been collecting data as 10 the cost of haul
ing farm and other products over American
roads The conclusion which he draws
from the replies to 10, 600 letters of inquiry
sent to reliable farmers and teamsters in the
United States is that the average cost Of
hauling one ton a distance of one mile is %
cents For the same amount of money
ton can be carried 200 miles by steamer
and fifty miles by rail Evidently horse
power or mule power Is expensive.
But while it costs the farmers of this
country quarter Of dollar to team ton
of produce one mile, it costs European
farmers only c. s cents. The latter have
hard, smooth and comparatively level roads,
which can be travelled in all kinds of
weather.
1t is impossible to figure out the cost of
the bad roads bills which the farmers pay
yearly needlessly aud without complaint.
One read reformer says those bills foot up
250 million dollars annually. That is a
mere guess, but it may be near the truth
Whatever the sum may be, it falls on the
farmers exclusively, and thus cuts down
their net receipts from their corn, wheat
and other crops 1t would not be difficult
for the farmers of an Illinois township to
ascertain the weight of all the produce they
take TO and from the nearest market during
a year, and thus find out what bad roads
are costing them. When they have the
information it may he they will vote for a
higher road tax.
Every year about $50, 600, 5000 is spent
in this country in the repairing of mud
roads. The money is expended to no pur-
pose, but the farmers keep on paying it
out, while refusing to contribute larger
sum which, if judiciously expended, would
give them permanent roads, which it would
cost but trihe to keep in perfect condi-
ton. Then they would not have to keep
as many horses as they do now. There
would be less wear and tear of horses, har-
ness and wagons. The farmers would be
able to Get their products to market at all
times, while it happens now often that they
cannot market those products when prices
are highest, because of impossible roads,
The taxes which bear hardest on the farm
ers are those they uuthinkingly impose upon
themselves.

Rolled Him in q Barrel.
From the Miansapo,i. Tribune


Therrs something barbaric about

the man with the broken nose, "but can
easily name two worse things. One is
rolling a man aroand in barrel, and the
other Is a coat Of tar and feathers. In
my foolish Young days arrived at town
in Southern Indiana to find the people ex-
cited over several arrests for robbery. A
family named Black, consisting of man and
wife and Il grown-up son, had been esught
and made to confess TO many theits. In

had determined to apply tar and feathers

The Growing Appetite for Grain.
From the N. Y. Sun.


The Department of Agriculture circu-
lar on the grain crops of this year says that
the European estimates of the worlds
wheat yield for 1899 indicate an important
decline from the production of 1898. The
British estimates are about 100, 600, 900
bushels less than those of the Hungarian
Ministry and the Bulletin des Halles, but
all agree that the crop will be smaller than
that of last year, which was about 2, 1885,
600, 600 bushels. The estimated diminu-
ton in yield is from 800, 900, 900 to 40O,-
600, 600 bushels, or roughly speaking, an
eighth of the crop of 1898. If this esti-
mate is accurate, there must certainly be
high prices for the coming year.
A comparison of recent statistics with
those of ten years ago shows that the de-
mand for all the cereal crops has increased
in volume. This is due partly to the con-
stant growth in the world population and
partly to the increased use of some of the
grains. Preparations of oats for human
food, for example, have been popularized
and have added considerably to the con-
sumption of oats The world on an average
calls for about 500, 600, 900 more bushels
of wheat, 100, 900, 900 more of rye, 150,-
600, 600 more of barley, 300, 900, 600
more Of oats and 600, 600, 600 more of
Indian corn than it called for ten years ago.
The estimate of this year crop points TO
a deficit in all these grains, which cannot
be wholly supplied by the stocks on hand
France is surpassed only BY the United
States and Russia in the quantity of wheat
produced, and yet France imports great
amount of grain. The reason is because
France is the largest consumer per capita,
each inhabitant eating about 700 pounds
of wheat a year, while the rate of consump-
tionin Great Britain and the United States
is only about half as much England has
to import about two thirds of the wheat
she requires, and she takes more than half
of it in -four from our Western mills.
As the largest grower of cereals, our
country has lessons to learn from the rapid
increase in the demand for all those grains
which we are prominently able to produce.
1t is 4 noticeable fact that the two countries
which export the most wheat raise a good
deal less to the acre than some of the i'm
porting countries. Our average production
to the acre is twelve to thirteen bushels,
that Of Russia is ten bushels, while Eng
land raises about twenty eight bushels on
land that is not so fertile as ours. We
need better methods of till&ge, and one in
dication that they are coming into use is
the fact that the era Of vast wheat farms in
the West is passing away. With small
homesteads better tillage viii be possible
aud more abundant crops viii be harvested.

Georges county was in October, 1894,
Stephen Williams outraged lady and was
lynched.
In Kent there were no assaults in 1894
and 1895 On February IS, 1897, a
lady was assaulted by Samuel Schofeld,
who escaped from the county and is still at
large. The Negro met the lady on pub
lie road, forced her team into woods,
dragged her from the carriage, knocked
her senseless, outraged her person and left
her for dead Schofeld was in the neighbor-
hood Of the crime for hours after the deed
but Republican officers failed to arrest him.
The County Commissioners offered reward
for his arrest, but it was some weeks after
the crime before Gov. Lowndes consented
to offer reward.
In Queen Anne's county there was but
one serious assault in 1894 and 1895.
William Jackson was lynched on July 6,
1894, for the murder of two men on April
H. There were seven in 1897 and one in
1898. One assault was on white girl,
aged a, and John Wesley Killson is Serv-
ing 4 fve-y term in the penitentiary for
it. Five of the assaults were on officers,
and one of the Negroes. who was sent to
the House of Correction for two years,
'caS potoloHef By Gou. Lo,cRdes after Serr-
ing SIC months of his sentence. Three
Negroes who assaulted an officer were never
arrested
While most Of the increase of crime in
Maryland by Negroes under Republican
rule has occurred in Baltimore, it will be
noticed that in the counties under Demo
cratic rule there were scarcely no assaults
upon white people, whereas there have
been considerable number under Repub
hcan rule
Our years for comparison were lS945

has been sufficient to cause all good citizens

A STRONG REASON
Why the Democratic Party
Should Be Restored to
Power in Maryland,
The Republican Party is So Con8ti-
tuted 1t Cannot Repress the
Lawless Negro Element.
a Comparison of Crime Under
Democratic and Republican
Rule.

One of the strongest reasons why Mary
land should be again placed under Demo
cratic control Is the preservation Of peace
and good order in the State. In the In
dictment of the Republican Party it was
charged that no party is fit to rule this
State whose freedom is clogged by an
ignorant, -taxpaying class of yoters.
About one half of the Republican party Is
made up Of such class Of voters In
some counties this class comprise eighty
per cent, of the party strength. That
there are many industrious and worthy
colored citizens Is not denied They exist
in every community, but the bulk Of the
race are shiftless, ignorant. pay no taxes
aud have no intereS, in government.
One Of the worst results ct Republican
rule in Maryland is the appalling increase
Of crime bv the low element Of the Negro
race. They have construed Republican
ascendancy to mean license to commit the
most horrible of crimes, and Republican
administration has been Indifferent and
lenient in restraining it for fear of alien
ating its most certain aud reliable voters
The Democratic party is not 80 hampered,
Few colored people vote the Democratic
ticket. and those who do are usually the

and ls9S, under Republican State aud
