The Nations Extravaganza.
From the New York sun January 80.


1.-THE country today is like boy who has
inherited big fortune and is living on it with.
out earning anything himself" said James j.
Hill, who returned from the West yesterday.
SIT is all very well to talk about our great
prosperity, but we are spending what has been
earned, not what we are ca ming now. We
are using up our capital and have become an
extravagant nation"
Mr. Hill would not admit that the country
was tending toward oyerproduction, because,
as be said, if he did people would call him a
croaker. A few years ago he gave out an in
terview saying that overproduction had begun,
and this caused grea: stir in the financial
world. Mr.. Hill said yesterday that the Con.
sular and other reports show that Japan Is
sending us more than we are sending to Japan,
and that it behooyes us to be watchful for our
position among the commercial natiOns
"During the last few years things have been
stirred up so on account ofthe Boer and Russo
Japanese Wars" he said, that with the ex
listing close relation among the nations il has
been difficult to get true perspective in com
mercial and industrial matters. But now we
can look around and appreciate our true
position. Look at Great Britain with a million
men out of work. Great Britain is a country
with balance of trade against ii, and We
should take warning. There sre not many
more new continents or lands to open up.

When great(?) daily newspaper, with q

Pass the Cigarette Law.

Among the many good general bills pre-
sented to the Legislature at this session is one
by Senator Goldsborough, of Caroline county,
known as ''Tbe Cigarette Bill" Ever since
the manufacture of cigarettes began The AID
vocATE has opposed the sale of them to per
sons under twenty one years of age. We have
called the attention of those who are respon
sible for the rearing of the youth OF our coun
try, parents and teachers, of their permclous
effects; articles from medical journals and ex-
tracts from lectures on the evil results to fol-
low their use have been published IN tins
paper time and again; personal appeals have
been made to the users of them, but we tear
without much good resulting theretrom.
Watch the children going to school, IN town
or country, at morning or afternoon, and
fully seven out of ten are pulling away on a
cigarette as if their very life depended upon
finishing it before reaching the school grounds;
then at each recess you rarely ever see the
young cigarette 6ends enjoying the rollicking
fun of the other boys, but they retire to an
unexposed place and partake of the dope
which has become almost as necessary to their
existence as the use of morphine or other
drugs is to their elders. Ifparents can not nor
will not use their authority to prevent their
offspring from slowly committing suicide, then
let the strong hand of the law come to their
rescue, and in after years they will arise and
call the makers thereof blessed. Several
deaths in this city have been traceable TO the
continuous use of the vile cigarette, and the
physical condition OF those who used them
wrecked Let the law be passed. and in such
terms that there can be no evasion of II, and
if evaded have the youthful users arrested and
severely punished. A dose or two of the
Delaware whipping law, or the hickory waffle
of the old tin,e fathers, mothers and village
scheolmasters would go very far, indeed, TO
remedy the growing evil.

Alleged Cruelty TO a Mule.

A letter from Sykesville, January 80, says:
A case ofalleged cruelty TO a mule was brought
ton of Cruelty to Animals at Sykesville. and
as result Of an investigation that followed
James P. Wade, of Walnut Cress, the owner of
the animal, was today held for the action OF the
Criminal Court of Carroll County by Justice
D. S. Brandenburg. James P. Carter was
heli on the same charge, as it was alleged that
he hal treated the mule for IFS ailments.
The case was investigated by Agent Harris,
who says he found the mule suffering from 8
torn joint and was hardly able to staud. The
bones protruded through his flesh, AID it was
evident that there was no possible way to cure
the mule. Mr.. Harris wanted tie animal
killed but this was strenously objected to by
both Wade aud Carter, ana consequently war
rants were issued for their arrest.
