PORT DEPOSIT ITEMS.

The following letter reached us too
hate for hast week
Port Deposit, Jan. 49, IS.
MIR. EDITORIALS your intelligent
and very interesting reporter has been
somewhat inlisk for II few weeks past |
have taken the liberty OF ercroaching on
his prcr0@ativc and will endCav0r to give
you II few items of Port nowS. The
prospect of II Charge from the 'ice bIi-
gade' this winter has been indefinitely
postponed owing it is supposed to the
fact THAT the frost king has lately been
taking n trip SCath, AND falling in COM
pany with lovely June, has been melted
into tenderness and relaxed his frozen
humor Seriously speaking. Mr.. Editor
it is beginning 10 be a matter of some
consideration with us, HsI with others.
AS To- the probability of a supply Of ic"
for tn" next warm weather. We have
no particular desire for it during the
Writer, but relish it during the sweltcr
ing hult of summer ;sS one Of the great
est hooI.ss of l'rovidence-a most dClici-
GUS luxury. Iccleqs may be in demand
next summer.
Hard times" cannDt entirely stop our
progress. though its influence is senSibly
felt in our midst. The stopping of the
u Co., has thrown out of employment
some thirty or forty hamds; it is expect
ed however. that arrangements will be
made SGoI to re-commence operations at
that establishment.

BY TROLLEY
TO BALTIMORE
Said To Be Part OF Delaware Sub
nrban Project.

BY trolley from Wilmington to Balti-
more. This is understood to be part of
the general plan of the Delaware SUI
hulban Railroad Company, which has
begun to build its line between Whining
ton and t,lkton. Md.
While it is not the intention 10 extend
beyond Elkton at present, it has been
learned from conversations, with people
interested in the project that Baltimore
is the ultimate destination.
50 far asl the Delaware Suburban Co.
is concerned. its line will, in all proba-
bility. end on the northern side of the
Susuut lIanma river. but as there is now
II Baltimore company building II line in
the direction there is every reason to
believe that the two systems will reach
the SusquchHnna at the same time both,
it is understood counting on terminal
| facilities on the river.
From what can he learned, the two
companies will run to almost opposite
POINTS on the SuSQuphunnT, and as the
terminals will be near one OF the bridges
an easy connection can be made, or, it
is possible. if the business will warrant,
there will be Il ferry service between the
river terminals of the two roads
This system will provide trolley facili-
ties not only connecting Wilmington and
Baltimore. but also. locally, for all of
the important Intervening towns, which
will put the towns i'll closer touch with
each other and also develop the country
along the lines Of the roads.
When Chief Engineer X. II. Fothcr-
gill Of the Delaware Suburban Co. was
spoken to in regard to the matter he
admitted that such Il project was in con-
temptation. In fact. Mr.. FCthcrgil, in
mapping ont tho road. has carefully i'll
Sl.,tcd not only the line aS nowl aid out,
hut also the proposed extension to the
SusquChanna river and he is also famil
lar with the northern end of the Mary
lanl company's route. He says the two
roads will pass through the prcttiest
parts Of that section of the country. Mr..
Fothcrgill has photographs of many
places along the proposed routes, show
ing the pretty scenery and other advant-
ages,
When the line is complete connecting
Wilmington and Baltimore. there will
be direct trolley communication between
Washington and Philadelphia, or, for
that matter, giving a New York and
northern connection also.
The Delaware Suburban Co. is busy
taking title to the right of way OH this
end, at the rate of two or three deeds
a day. and is also clearing woodland
through which the road will pats<.-Ev-

Beat Germany In Beer.

Germany yields the first place in her
beer production to the United States
declares Frank Mason, Consul-Gcneral
at Berlin, in Il report to the Department
OF Commerce and Labor.
He shows from the annual report of
the German Brewers Association that
their product last year WAS less by 49,
0S'.230 gallons than that of the Ameli-
can brewers. The falling off is account
cd for variou$ y-cod, wet weather; the
spread of temperance principles, the
practice of economy by middle classes,
and the abolition in many shops of the
"becr pause" and the substitution of
tea and coffee rs beverages.

CANNON RIDICULES
PARkER'S VIEWS.
lie Contrasts Republican and Demo-
cratic Records on Pension
LepiSIatinn

Hastings, Neb., Sept. 27.-Speaker
Joseph g, Cannon, accompanied by Con
gresham Watson and several prominent
Nebraska Republicans, continued his tour
of Nebraska yesterday His principal
speech was made at Hastings.
Speaker Cannon discussed that part of
Judge Parker's letter of acceptance relat-
ing to the Presidents order providing for
a graduated pension scale, and to Park ker's
pledge that il elected he will revoke Pen
sion Order No. IS and use his influence
to obtain the passage OF bill providing
for an age pension without reference to
disability, and said:
1 ask what age, Parker, what age?
Will it be IS, 65, 62 years, or what?
Indefinite still you are, and probably not
sincere, but suppose that you are elected
President, Mr., Parker, and you use your
influence, what will that bring in the
meantime? From $4,000 to $4,000
people will have their pensions taken
away from them, while you promise to
use your Influence to have Congress pass
" SelFlce pension law without stating the
age you propose to recognize
Now, | ask you, Mr.. Parker, if you
are elected President who will control
the House of Representatives? Will not
two-thirds of the Democrats in that body
be made up of members from the South,
and are they liberal people with pensions
tor the Union Soldiers?
"Let us read a chapter from the history
of pension legislation as it stands on the
statute books today. There are fourteen
bills that have been passed from time to
time and these bills from the pension code.
Who passed them? Democrats for bills,
All; Democrats against bills, 64S; Re-
publicans for bills, 1,O68; Republicans
against the bills, none. That's how the
record of the vote upon those measures
stands"

AS direct result of the hlgl
Ilquor license, one thousand dol
lars-which became in full force
and effect on the first day of the
present year, last Friday, New
Iberia today possesses but one
half the number of saloons and
retail liquor houses that it did
eight or nine days since.
Instead of the thirty old saloons
and retail liquor houses which
were formerly in existence in va
rious portions of The city, at the
present time there are about eigh-
teen in existence and there is no
likelihood that the total number
will exceed the twenty mark dur
ing the year. OF course, one or
two others may be opened this is
not certain but hardly more than
this.
Pretty much all the large sa-
looms remain in full blast. 1t was
the smaller ones principally that
were compelled 10 close their doors
as a result of the increase to one
thousand dollars. Some are in
clined to regard the increase as
'ather steep. However, we will
state that in Washington, a much
smaller town than this and not a
miles distant, the license
las been fixed at double the
prevailing here at the pre-
ent. Lake Charles has placed
