political experts seem to think, or In
1885, as Mussolini and the japanese
general staff have been predicting for
the last few years. nobody can say.
MuSsolini, In statements made during
the last three years, seems to think that
1885 will be the crucial year. So think
the Japanese, too, who are Fastening
their military and naval preparations
to be ready for any emergency in 1885.

Things Better Than Before.

You say that such considerations ap-
peal only to optimists. Not at all. They
as they are, and Americans, as a rule
are loyal to facts. But they also ap-
peal, if you like, to optimists-and that
means to everybody. For everybody Is
an optimist People feel relieved when
they swear and announcing the worst is
only polite way Of seeking relief. But
nobody who does 1t really expects the
worst. I have noted many times that
great croakers are not unhappy pessi-
nlists, but selfish extraverts who get
rid of their blues by donating them to
the other fellow.
So am not serving my readers a
Barmecide Christmas feast. Things at
home are certainly better than theJ
were. Things abroad are not so bad
either. Not that they are satisfactory
why should they be satisfactory? You
certainly must remember the days when
business was never satisfactory; it was
slow or fiat, sometimes it was rotten
and sometimes 1t would perk up a bit.
That was the vocabulary. It was the
same with the affairs Of the world l
cannot remember 1870, but l family re-
member 1875. when Moltke wanted
Germany finally to crush France, and
I remember 1889, with all the dangers
arising from the Boulangist adventure

remember Tangfer IN 1905, and know
that the suspense of the next nine
years was nightmare. Political un-
rest has been the normal state of the
world since the beginning of historic
periods. So when dangers are not i'm
mediate, thankfulneSs is the proper
state of mind.

what he thought about the
general situation, he replied: Europe is
today, more than ever, powder maga-
zine. The slightest spark will set the
whole continent ablaze again. And,
mind you. nobody wants a war; neither
the leaders, nor the people themselves.
The nations which emerged victori-
GUS from the World War have no reason
to desire a repetition of the horrors OF
another war, more devastating and
more terrible than the last. The others,
the defeated nations, have too vivid a
recollection of the past to wish new
calamity.
1T has been frequently said that
Italy and Germany want the abolition
Of the Versailles treaty, by force, if
necessary. This is not quite so. They
want to do away with that treaty but
neither Mussolini nor Hitler want to
employ force for that purpose. Dicta-
tors know too well what will happen
to them in case of a setback, and the
best organized military nation in the
world cannot be sure of victory. Yet,

NEW YORK, June 23.-The savings
bankers Of New York State plan to

help savings banks, which had, in its
turn, superseded a still earlier project
for central bank for savings banks.
The new proposals were discussed at
meeting of savings bankers. Subject
to the approval of the State Banking
Board and to the enactment of enabling
legislation, the plan will be put into
effect when approved by a sufficient

The report commends the States
Attorney for his "unfailing courtesy
and consideration in advising the
grand jury and for his efficient prep
aration of the cases submitted; we
commend the clerk and bailiff for
their efficient attention to their re-
spective duties and we especially COM

ers against the law to justice"
stated the report.
The report follows in full:
The Report of The Grand Jury for
November, 1888.
We, the Grand Jury, in and for
Montgomery County, have the Honor
to report to the Court that we have
carefully investigated all the cases
brought before US, seventy in number
and have found sixty-two present
ments.
We have examined one hundred and
ninety-three witnesses, most of whom
were found competent and willing to
give evidence.
Our examination of the Jail show
ed conditions to be modern in every
particular and kept in good condition.
We found fifty-seven inmates therein,
thirteen white males, four colored fe-
males, and forty colored males.
We visited the County Buildings, at
Rockville, Bethesda and Silver Spring
and found all to be satisfactorily kept
and in first class condition, except
some rooms in the Old Court House
which are badly in need of minor re-
pairs; also that the County Buildings
are of adequate size to take care of
the present needs of the County.
We inspected the County Home and
found everything to be in excellent
condition and also splendidly kept. 1t
is recommended that immediate pro-
vision be made for heating the two
bath rooms in the rear of the house
and further that provision be made
for installing comfortable chairs in
the place of the folding chairs now be-
ing used in the Assembly room. There
were thirty-three NANTES, six white
females, twenty-one while males and
six colored males. The larder was well
supplied with ample provisions to
comfortably provide for them during

Changes In Milk
Regulations Are
Held Not Likely
DIR. V. L. EllicOtt, Health Off
Ger, Says Majority Of Pro-
ducers Have Agreed

DR.. V. L. Ellicott, Montgomery
County health officer, has declared
that it is unlikely any changes in the
county milk laws will result from the
public hearing being sought by indie
pendent county milk producers.
"The provisions of the county milk
laws are unlikely to be changed, since
each regulation is necessary to the
health of the county," he declared.
"The regulations were drawn up by
a Farmers Committee, using the
standard milk ordinance of the United
States Public Health Department as
basis, and three-fourths of the coun-
tvs $50 milk dealers have already
complied with all the regulations.
"The amount needed for equipment
ranges from nothing to $3.50, de-
pending upon the amount of equip
ment already installed. A change in
the regulations, in addition to being
dangerous to public health, would be
manifestly unfair to those who have
already installed equipment"
DR.. Ellicott's statement was made
after the disclosure that independent
milk producers would petition the
Board of County Commissioners with
in the next 10 days for public hear
ing on each of the milk regulations
before they go into effect to determine
whether they are necessary to the
health of the county.
The milk laws are scheduled to go
into effect in the metropolitan area or
the county on January 1, next, and
in the upper part of the county on
January 1, 1885.

charge and the Superintendent are
entitled to commentator for their at
tention to this Institution.
We, the Grand Jury, recommend the
strictest economy in the expenditure
of all County money and further
recommend that all County Offices be
housed in County Buildings.
We commend the States Attorney
for his unfailing courtesy and con-
sideration in advising the Grand Jury
and for his efficient preparation Of
the cases submitted.
We especially commend the Clerk
and the Baliff for their attention to
their respective duties.
We especially commend the Cher
of Police, Mr.. Moxley, and the Force
under him for their efficiency and the
ability in bringing offenders against
the laws to justice. It is our
opinion that to the efficiency of this
Force is due more than anything else
the small number of cases presented
to the Grand Jury.
