A Silk Factory.

The following is the,very latest
Elkton project:
s.The Liberty Silk Company, Of
New York, is contemplating NOV
ing its plant from that city to Elk
ton. Mr.. Frank T. Whitney is
trying to secure the required
amount of capital necessary. The
conditions are that the people OF
Cecil county subscribe to $4,000
in stock, give the land at Elkton
free and exempt taxation for a
period of years; the company will
subscribe 100000 and erect the
plant at Elkton and employ from
200 to 400 hands. A meeting of
the business men will be called and
the matter thoroughly discussed.
There is no doubt about the land
and taxation, but the question is
whether the necessary $4,000 of
stock can he placed.
The old bunco game of giving
proposed manufacturing companies
everything in sight and then pay
ing them to come ought to be
understood by country towns by
this time, considering the exper-
fence they have had.

A Chase After Horse Thieves.

Henry Summers, who lives near
the GAP, Pa, a noted place for
horse thieves, near Cecil county
line, was on qua d for horse thieves
on Saturday night. William Tray
nor OWES a very valuable horse and
several attempts had been made to
steal the animal. Summers, who
was lying in wait armed with a
double barreled gun, saw two men
approach the stable, which was
locked. They left but soon return
ed with a.crow- bar and attempted
to break the lock, when Summers
fired and they fled, being pursued
by him, firing as he ran. The
thieves returned the fire with re-
volvers but their bullets few wild.
1t was a half mile chase, Summers
firing several shots at the retreating
figures. The thieves at last reached
a thick woods into which they
escaped, Summers firing a parting
shot which took effect, one of the
men yelling he was shot.

Electric Railway Talked Of.

Many years ago, the Maryland
legislature appropriated $4,000
towards building the Eastern Shore
railroad. The project failed. Sew.
eral times since railroads have been
located and commenced-on paper
from Elkton to Massey's and
other points, but all fell through.
In every instance the nest-egg that
was to hatch out the railroads con-
Meeting with points south of Elkton,
has been that $57 90 which still
lies in the State treasury.
There is a scheme put on foot
recently to build an electric OF
trolley road from Elkton to Chesa-
peake City. The Pennsylvania
Railroad Company a few years age
purchased the right of way and
built a siding connecting the Pulp
mill and Scott fertilizer works with
its main tracks. The continuation
of the road further was abandoned
In the recent trolley scheme the
plan is to lease the right of way
from the P, w. & B. to Chesa
peake City and build an electric
road, and the legislature is to be
worked to have the $57, 900 trans
ferred to the new company. That
$57, 900 is a disturbing element
and to get it by hook or by crook
the schemers have laid awake al
night for these many years contriv-
ing plans to get it. 1.-THE trolley is
built it will be built by the Penn
sylvania company and owned by
them, and the taxpayers of Mary
land would have no more rights
vested in it than they have in the
Baltimore Central, for the building
of which the farmers and others in
| the upper part of Cecil subscribed
and paid thousands of dollars. II
Maryland is disposed to invest any
money in electric roads, let the
State and county build and own
the road. IF it will pay the Penn.
sylyania company to build a trolley
to Chesapeake it will pay the State
and county to build it.
If the people are capable of learn
ing anything after they quit school,
they ought to have learned by this
time that substituting monopolistic
enterprises is putting a rod in
pickle for their own backs.

The Saloon on the War-Path.

A big fight is on by the Anti
Saloon League of Hartford county,
as well as nearly every church con-
gregation in that town, against the
effort that is being made by the
enemies of the Hartford county local
option law, to secure the passage
by the present Legislature of a
measure providing for the licensing
of the sale of liquor, particularly in
BEAR, or a resnbmissiOn of the
local option law to the voters of
the county, or any part thereof, or
for any alteration of the present
law. The league has circulated
blank petitions, addressed to the
Hartford county members of the
Legislature throughout the cou nty,
asking for signatures, protesting
against any change in the present
law.-Whig.
The same fight that was made in
Cecil several years ago to have the
prohibition law changed to local
option. The Whiskey Trust came
down on the legislature then with
its $5O,O00,000 and bought the
change they wanted, and there
isn't much doubt that they will
buy out Hartford. 1t is noticeable
that they ask for any change, no
matter how slight, SO that the law
gives the business some standing.
They will trust to the future and
their liquor to do the rest. AS long
as the prohibitionists with "party
behindit," play into the saloons
hands the liquor party will go on
cOnQuering and to conquer.

Anniversary to H. j. H.

Written for THE MIDLAND JOURNAL.
Do we meet another birthday?
Joy has come and joy has gone;
Flowers blossom in the pathway,
Bloom and fade as time goes on.
Say no more there's naught to tie thee
To this world OF love and truth
See fair treasures standing by thee,
Train them tenderly in youth.
Tell them all of sins forgiven,
When perhaps no one but thee
May portray the path to Heaven,
May be left to oversee.
Tender dalings in youths morning,
Who their guardian shall be,
Who shall give the solemn warning.
Who more competent than thee?
Then, our homes, the bright reflection,
They must know our country's love,
They must learn the great protection
Ofsweet home, its honour prove.
Speak in most profound direction,
Tell them of our countrys rights,
Teach them of the grand protection,
Valuing the stars and stripes
From thy birthday now wander
To the children's aid, from thee;
Thou wilt oft reflect and ponder
On a nations liberty.
They must know how sweet the freedom
Of our country and our home;
May their comrades live to see them
Guarding nobly freedoms home.
Pride may lead them strongly onward;
Keep the homestead ever tree,
Gay each song in tuneful number
Hail, oh hail, sweet liberty.
Will they in thy kind caressing,
As their footsteps onward move,
Whisper an obedient blessing
On thy kind, devoted love?
Thou hast been, in love expressing,
Tender teacher of the young;
Thou shalt gain thy Sayiour's blessing
On thy peaceful journey home.
Once again, my precious treasure,
May my heat commune with thee:
Heavenly blessings without measure
May they ever rest with thee.
