The Cecil County Agricultural
Society.
A pritty general notice was given
that the Agricu'tural Society would
be 1 reorganized” last Monday at the
Stockholders’ annual meeting. A
comparatively large meeting assem
bled in the Secretary’s office at Elk
ton on that day, and considerate
interest was manifested. The meet
iug got togciher and organized for
business about 11* o’clock. The
Treasurer read the report, which told
the members that there was a debt
against the Society of about $12,000
with a default of interest for two
years,that $5,000 ol that debt was car
ried by the Building and Loan Asso
ciation, whose clues, interest and
fines for non payment amounted to
SIOOO a year, tha the horse racing last
year cost the Fair SI6OO more than
it brought in; that premiums were
unpaid and other bills which would
more that absorb the surp'us earn
ings of the last Fair, which left the
debt still running with interest uu
paid. Mr. Jno. S. Wirt made a
strong speech, declaring the Society
hopelessly bankrupt and advocating
winding it up and organizing a new
society. This heroic treatment ad
vised by Mr. Wirt did not meet the
views of other members who request
ed Mr. Blake, the treasurer of the So
ciety, to lay before the meeting the
plan for saving its life that had been
thought of. ‘‘llelrenchment and re
form’’ were the pith of this plan.
The debt, it was thought, could be
funded at 5 per cent interest, and the
privilege of season tickets be with
drawn from stockholders and exhib
iters, which they have been enjoying
and which has deprived the Society
of thousands of dollars; enough in
fact, in the ten years of the Society’s
existence to balance the debt.
After much free discussion and
ventilation , the members were preity
unanimous that if the original So
eiely wound up as a bankrupt’ that
there would not be any chance,
whatever, of organizing a new one.
so the conclusion was to make an
other effort, and the election of a
new board of managers for the en
suing year. There are four of the
o d board included in the new man
agement.
Z. P. Lusby, 'Geo. S. Worley, Dr
C. M. Ellis, Goe. McQuilkin, Robt.
C- Tbaokery, Danl. Bratton, Sami
Arbuckle, Richard L. Thomas, 11. C.
McDowell, T. Bradun Gillespie, F.
S. Everist and Wm. Armstrong.
A resolution was passed by the
stockholder advising the manage
ment not to sell Pool privileges at
the next Fair, and the sense of the
meeting was that the racing ‘ purses”
should be very much cut down. The
Association did not appear to be far
enough advanced to comprehend the
possibility of an Agricultural Asso
ciution whose Fairs should be placed
on useful educational, rather than on
a vicious amusement, basis, and vot
ed to adhere to the old method,
which is passing away and will pass
full soon, but not too soon, however.
At the close of the session Mr.
Frank R. Scott offered the following
resolution :
‘•That it is the sense of this meet
ing that it is against the interest of
this society to have it run by the
W. C. T. U.”
The Chair proposed to consider the
motion a pleasantry but Mr. Scott iu
sisting on its having been offered as
a serious business motion,a member
moved to lay the motion on the table,
which was very promptly and em
phatically done.
The horse race has become repug.
n’ant to both the moral sense and
common sense of farmers, who while
tl ey indulge in the excitement, in
default of any other feature to em
ploy their time, condemn this gam
bling device and feel that they and
tbcii calling are being humiliated by
beieg made tools of to bolster up a
vicious amusement to gratify the
depraved tastes of professional class
es, who regard farming and the
farmer, in about the same light as
the peasant does bis ass, a very pc
tient, useful beast to bear burthens

for other people’s benefit and pleas
ure. The farmer is the only guild,
which calls upon other guilds or
classes to occupy a prominent place
in managing his affairs. No one
ever heard of any other class calling
on a farmer to occupy any place in
their organizations, much less a con
trolling position. The hopeful sign
is that farmers are beginning to
evince a sense of shame at their de
pendent condition.
Join tho Detective Association.
Persons who desire to become
members of the Detective Associa
tion can become members by send
ing their names into the Directors’
meeting to morrow. Names may be
handed into the President of the
Society, Dr. L II Kirk, or to any of
the following named, who are direc
tors of the Association : Alfred Kirk,
Vice-President; E E. Ewing, Secy.;
J. A. Kirk, Trcas,; W. W. Carter,
Barclay Reynolds, A. R. Kay, John
Keilholtz, W. R Cameron, Directors.
One dollar pays the entrance fee and
membership dues for 1890, entitling
the member to the annual turkey din
ner which is the social feature of the
Association, and his person and
property to protection by the Asso
ciation.
Every neighborhood should have
a strong Association of this kind,
which can be called out at once when
a robbery or other crime has been
committed, and by a rapid and con
cemratcd movement, aid in recover
ing the property aud bringing the
guilty parties to justice. It is the
interest of this neighborhood to keep
the Association strong. If the dep
redations on property by thieves or
or other outrages against society are
rare in this section, the organization
of the law abiding and law upholding
people of the community by forming
a formidable association to operate
against outlaws, lias much to do with
purging society of such pests. By
being always ready to repei such
encroachments is the surest way to
reduce them to the minimum. Pre
vention is always preferable to cure
Thai depredations of the kind which
this Association is maintained to re
sist, have become extremely rare
within the territory it covers is one
of the strongest reasons for keeping
it up to the highest standard of ef
ficiency and fullest meniDership.
Words of Encouragement.
We venture to make public tome
extracts from a private letter of a
friend and reader of the Midland
Journal whose good opinion we
value very highly.
‘ The farmers of Cecil county should by
this time acknowledge your paper as their
most representative organ in the county. I
trust you will not slop iD the course you are
pursuing until ihe scales are removed from
the eyes of the old Bourbons. * * *
Keep right along in the path you have
chosen. Advocate farmers to represent
farmers. Advocate business men to repre
sent the people. Stick to the remonetiza
tion of silver; more circulation for the peo
ple in the way af greenbacks if need be;
equal protection for the farmer with the
manufacturer, then perhaps if the Creator
ordains it may be that the light of heaven
may drive prejudice ont of the cranium of
old fossils and they may see their way clear
to Bui port representative nren. * *
The Midland JournAl is right when ad
vocating the interest of farmers, hut I feal
that help will come too late to save many
of us from bankruptev. * * *
Contraction has not affected anv other clas6
to any extent, but the farmers; all other
classes are receiving more than war prices
measured by the purchasing power of
money.”
An Unique Feature of the Penn
sylvania .Limited.
The Pennsylvania Limited, per
forming a daily service between New
York and Chicago, needed but one
feature to complete the perfection of
its appointment. The men had their
porter and barber, and now the
ladies have the maid and hair-dre9ser.
The introduction of the maids is as
novel as it is a unique feature. It
exists on no other r.gular train in
the world, and the ladies who travel
will appreciate it heartily. The
maids are colored women, and there
is one employed on each train. They
arc to assist the ladies in makino
their toilets, to dress their hair, and
serve as a hand-maid to them in
the fullest sense of the term. They
will have an eye to the children, and ,
have a care for invalids and ladies
who may travel without a male
escort. The convenient!* and com
fort of having an attendant of one’s
own sex will be cordially appreciat
ed by timid women and those who
are inexperienced in travel. The
Pennsylvania Railroad Company
and the Putman Palace Car Com
pany deserve great credit for their
presistent efforts to enhance the
comfort and pleasure of their pat
rons.
Congress will meet on Monday
next, and the President’s message
will probably be published iu Tue
day’s papers.

SCENES IN NSW YORK ON
ELECTION DAY.
THE MEN WHO MAKE OUR LAWS AND ELECT
OUR U. S. SENATORS.
Reporters for the Voice visited the salooui
of a number of the candidates; and below wt
present the remarkably interesting reports
that they have made.
The rumshop of Pat II Roche, Tammany
Democratic candidate for Assembly in the
4th District, stood wide open,-(open saloons
are illegal on election day in New York),
both front and side doors, at the corner of
Market and Water streets, near Ihe East
River docks. About 50 steps away on
Cherry street, and facing the open saloon
door, was a polling-place where stood three
policemen and a crowd of half-drunken,
bowing heelers. Two free fights were in
dnlged in while the reporter waited. A
oarkeepar, with a faec like an English bnll
pup’s, was serving two customers with whis
key from a bottle in the would-be Asseroblv
man’s saloon, and numerous other men itnd
boys made their way in and ont. Roche
himself, a squint-eyed Irishman witli a red
mostaclie, was marshalling a gang of inde
scribable bums and bloats at another polling
place around the corner from his saloon on
Center street. He assured the rtporter that
he was polling “de big wote of de disthric.”
He did secure a mighty big “wote,” but he
failed of election by about 120 votes.
His successful antagonist, Tommy Brady,
keeps a saloon at 199 Bowery, near the Peo
ple s Theater. Tommy was the Republican
and County Democracy nominee for the As
sembly, and the indorsement given him at
the ballot-box will enable him to hold up
the hands of the great and good temperance
party in the Legislature. The curtains of
Tommy’s saloon were lowered, but the front
door stood invitingly open, and every one
who wanted liquor could get it by saying
the word inside,
“Silver Dollar” Smith, that highly rep
resentative Republican, was defeated by a
scratch. He was running for a sixth term
in the Assembly, aud despite his reputation
as a rumseller, bribe-giver, bribe-taker,
gambler, associate of scoundrels, eye-gouger,
street-brawler, barroom fighter and general
rough and tongli. he received nearly the
full vote of the “temperance and morality”
party in his district. There was a reform
Republican candidate in the field, but since
he has rot a saloon for a basis of operations,
he was not regarded with much favor by the
loyal Republicans; be received only a paltry
thousand votes. Perhaps if “Silver Dollar”
Smith had operated Ins saloon with vigor
on election day, he might have won. But
an unwonted tendency to virtue and decency
came over the eye-gouging statesman.
Alarming though the assertion may be, lie
showed a positive disposition to join the
ranks of the Sunday-school and other ama
teur politicians. Think of it: the Silver
Dollor Saloon was closed! The curtains
were pulled up, and it could be seen from
the street that the barroom was abandoned.
The towels hung limp from the bar and the
spittons wasted their stench upon a deseit
air. But the eye-gouging proprietor was
active outside. He gathered his men on the
side-walk and told them whatthev must do.
It was the reporter’s private opinion that
many an individual among them would have
done quite well to go and take a bath.
The man who beat the eye-gouger for the
Assembly was Philip Wissig, United Dem
. ocr3tic candidate. Statesman Wissig can -
not be successfully accused of manifesting in
i an V w'ay the weak traits of the Sunday
school politician. Perish the thought that
Wissig would shut up his saloon on election
. day and deprive good Democrats of the op
portunity to drink rum. A tall loafer with
a repulsive pimpled face stood in front of
Wissig’s gin-mill, at the corner of Stanton
and Allen streets, and told the thirsty ap
; plicants for admission to go around to a
1 Joof back of the “family entrance” on Allen
street. When the reporter entered two men
were at the bar. One had just bought a
pitcher of beer. “Business is a little slow
to day,” remarked the barkeeper. Two
other men came in by the back door as the
reporter left. A polling-place was almost
directly opposite on Delancey street.
Christian Goetz was running for re-elec
tion to the Board of Aldermen on the * Sil
ver Dollar” Smith Republican ticket. He,
too, was beaten, hut he had (he consolation
of knowing that his defeat was not due to a
failure to work his rumshop for all it was
worth. Goetz has u “wine room” at 32
Delacey street. The doors of it were seem
i"Kly barred on election day, but those who
persevered were admitted. Three men were
drinking at the bar when the Voice reporter
sauntered in.
By the grace of the Republican party and
the County Democracy, Custave Menninger
goes to Albany next winter to make laws
for ihe State of Aew York, His saloon, at
449 Gland street, was breaking the laws on
election day. “Business is rather dull,”
saiil the bartender to the reporter, “but the
boys are outside working for Gin in great
shape. Come a r ound after 4 o'clock anil
you’ll see tilings hum.”
Mr. Wiiliam Clancy of Ihe fitli District
calls himself “The People’s Friend.” He
is a brutal-looking rumseller. He is one of
ihe men whose ballots the Mail and Express
printed so prominently. The proprietor of
the Mail and Express would as soon think of
drinking tha worst whiskey sold in C!aneey’ s
saloon as lie would of giving an indorse
ment on personal grounds to such a man.
Of course, however, since Clancy was i mi
ning on the Republican ticket for Alderman,
the Mail and Express thought it proper to
approve him in a political way, bad though
he is. The doors of iiis barroom, at the
corner of Goerek and Delancey streets, stood
wide open on election day, and inside there
was a rushing trade. A policeman on the !
opposite corner watched the open law-break- ,
ing listlessly and with indifference. There
were two polling-places within 100 feet of ,

the saloon door. Around ihe corner, at a
polling-place on Rivington street, the re
porter found the man who had been recom
mended to the people of New York by Col.
Shepard's sanctified sheet. He was a big
bellied, warty nosed fellow, a most vulgar
tyrant of the slums. He was issuing orders
to the nasty heelers who surrounded him.
The reporter asked Clancy how he came by
liis title of “The People's Friend.” The
great man did not have the wit to frame a
reply By the help of ihe Mail and Express
and its parly, this odious, law defying Dem-
I oeralie. rummy was elected.
Another Democratic liquor dealer who
1 was especially commended by the Mail and
1 Express, nominated by the Republicans and
elected, was William Tit. candidate for the
i Board of Aldermen in the 12ih District
