So? How have you fellows always
explained the Cleveland panic of
1893?-St. Adams Messenger.
The exact phraseology of the Dem
ocratic explanation of the Cleveland
panic" of 1893, to which the Mes
senger refers, escapes us just at this
moment. If it contained any of the
humbuggery of the Republican plat
form of 1908, the Messengers allu-
sion to it is slim and highly I'M
satisfactory apology for the panic
plank"

THE patrons of the Is. G. & A.
Railway in Mathews county have
just cause for complaint of the
transportation facilities. offered
them by this line i'll that they ONLY
have two trips TO Baltimore a
week and one Of these is on Sat
urday-an entirely worthless trip
in SO far as shipping is concerned.
OF course no one wants TO ship
anything to market on this day
and the reason is obvious We
hear that the management OF this
line claims that business will not
Justify additional boats. Granting
this TO be true, they could GER
tainly change their schedule so
that neither of the boats would
reach Baltimore on Sunday and
we believe if the matter was
properly pnt before them they
would make the change. On
every hand we are told that con-
siderable more trucking would be
done in the county if the people
had better skipping facilities;
that they (the truckers) have be-
come discouraged on account of
the uncertainty of the steamboat
schedules, and make it a point
BOT to patronize this line any morc
han is absolutely necessary. III
bis be true we think the manage
nentof the b. G. & A. Railway
would do well to look into the
matter, if only for their own ben
eft.
