Dun's report for January shows that
the prices of the Kings used in the aver
age family have risen 40 per cent in the
last ten years That is, goods that could
have been bought ten years ago for 200
now cost 500 And this, TOO, in the
face OF the fact that machinery has been
so improved in the last ten years that it
should have effected a reduction in price
of certainly 10 per cent or more. The
same report shows that wages have adj
vanced but IS per cent in the same length
of time and it doesn't require much of a
mathematician to prove that the wage
earner's prosperity hasn't kept pace with
that of the trusts, which manufacture and
control the price of nearly everything he
is required to buy, the increase in price
being more than double the per centage
of increase in his wages.

John Alexander Dowie, self-styled
"Elijah II and Prophet of Divine Selec-
tion," is dead This remarkable man
had consummate grasp of the credulity
of people and by the exercise of audacity,
great energy and personal force won fol-
lowers who trusted him implicitly, until
factionalism caused his undoiug. The
fact that he was able in few years, with
nothing but his energy for capital to start
with. organize and build up enterprises
representing millions of dollars. stamps
him what in the commercial world would
be termed promoter of great ability.
Dowie combined the commercial and
religious life in his Zion City enterprises,
which thrived under his direction. He
was selfappointed healer, law-giver,
prophet, master of men, and chief of all
fakir, who as the experts in the Thaw
trial would doubtless testify was afflicted
with Exaggerated ego" and suffered
frequent and violent attacks of brain
storm"

The sensation of the week has been
the surprise the Grand Jury had in store.
Up to Wednesday of last week little but
routine work had been accomplished and
it was thought the Jury was about ready
TO adjourn, when the old County Town
on the Elk was given the shock of its
life, by the serving of summonses on
half hundred or more of its citizens, in
all walks of life, to tell what they knew
concerning certain alleged violations of
the local option law and gambling being
INDUCED in by some of; the residents of
the town. This unexpected move caused
widespread CONSERVATION and uneasiuess,
and resulted in several indictments, the
guilty parties recognizing the hopeless
ness of their cases and pleading guilty.
News of the round up was received
with qualification by the best citizens of
our county, the hope being freely ex-
pressed that the law and order campaign
might extend to other towns, our own
included, where the running down of
rumors might develop tangible proofs and
be the means OF bringing to justice some
parties long suspected of illicit traffic
who pose as honest citizens at the present
time.

The Cecil Democrat Explains.

Relative to the reported suit of the
editor of the Cecil Democrat. of Elkton.
against the Commissioners of Cecil
County to force payment of claim for
publishing the local option law last fall,
the editor of the Democrat makes the
following statement in last weeks issue:
''It has been enormously stated in some
of the papers in the county that the editor
of the Democrat had brought suit against
the County Commissioners to force pay
ment for publishing the local option law
last fall The law was published in the
Democrat under the authority of the
Board of Election Supervisors, and when
the bill was presented to the County
Commissioners, they, acting under the
advice of their counsel, declined to pay it
There being an open legal question as to
whether the Election Supervisors had the
right to have the law published, it was
agreed by the County Commissioners and
the editor of the paper that the question
should be submitted to the Court for
settlement. both parties pledging them
selves to abide by the decision. The
Commissioners are entirely justified in
their position, having been advised that
they we're not legally required to pay the
bill. and we on our part did not wish to
force payment if we were not legally
entitled to it. Hence the agreement
without suit"

it appears, is the Dingey tariff the APP
plicatioi of which, according to the Del
egate finished the ruin of the coffee
traders which had been begun by the
cyclone year before. Porto Rico has
enjoyed lucrative trade in coffee with
Spain but the U. S. tariff destroyed it.
The failure of the House of Delegates to
pass the proposition to raise loan on the
credit of the Island to supply the Capital
to restore the industry was also blow
that could be traced to American inter-
ference. Furthermore the changing of
the currency, he claims caused money
