Lawyers as Law-Makers.
Some of the Elkton legal frater
nity take exception to the closing
paragraph of an article which was
published in the Midland Journal.
Dec. 25th, on court matters, which
claimed that lawyers fit to send to
legislatures and Congress were about
as rare as white blackbirds- This is
no retraction from or reflection oa
their good citizenship in all business
and social relations of life. They
reach the general average in these
respects, but as law-makers they are
as a class improper persons. It is
human nature to err on the side of
its interest. The community is
divided into classes by .its bussineos.
Ibis condition of society is unavoid
able, and shonld never be lost sight
of in matters of legislation and law
making. Each c'ass shonld he rep
resented in the law making body in
proportion to its numbers and the
importance of its business. The
legal class comparatively is very
small, not more than one to a thous
and, scarcely so much as that, of the
population, But in congress and
the legislatures they far outnumber
all other classes —twenty to one per
haps if measured by their numbers
in the community. The majority of
these legal, law makers have but a
single qualification which is of a
negative nature, that of gab. Many
of the leading men in congress who
are lawyers, are there not only to
represent a mixed constituency in a
perfunctory manner, butas attorneys
lor corporations. The State pays
them a few hundred dollars for their
services, the congressional quota get
§SOOO a year. The corporations pay
them all the way up to §50,000 a
year. No man can serve two masters
honestly. And any lawyer who is
attorney for a corporation ought to
be made ineligible as a legislator or
congressman- There are other reasons
which shonld contribute to reduce the
number of that class as desirable
law-mrkers, making them as rare as
white blackbirds, metaphorically
speaking.
License or No License.
Friends of morality, friends of law
and order, friends of home, friends
of their country, friends of industry,
friends of the church, friends of
things sacred, friends of education,
friends of a higher civilization,
friends of temperance, friends of
prohibiting the liquor traffic and the
Alcobiic disease, and enemies of the
saloon, man’s most deadly foe, are
you willing to ask the four men who
are standing for Cecil county in the
legislature to speak tor her people, to
present a Bill and advocate its pas
sage, to abolish the liquor traffic from
Cecil county? Let every temperance
organization prepare to take the
answer. The W. C T. U. has sev
eral societies in the county. They
can do no more useful temperance
work than canvass from bouse to
bouse If need bo, for signatures to
petitions praying the legislature to
drive this tiger from the country.
There are other temperance societies
which should take up a similar work;
aod the prohibition party which
places a ticket in the field at every
election, the opportunity offers now
V.-for work which that organization
may do with a promise of good re
sults. We will print as many peti
tions as are necessary'for this work
if they are called ter. free of charge.
Let the test be made whether your
representatives in the legislature
have more respect for, and less fear
of your displeasure and future votes,
than they have of the saloon. Now
it the time to teat yonr representa
tives. Two years ago they bowed
their mouths iu the dust at the
behest of the saloon. Let us know
whether the saloon with its crimes
and beastiness is stronger than the
virtue of this people.
John ft. Wirt is a candidate for
U. S. Senator. Cecil ia for Wirt,
and if he doesn't succeed in going
into the Senate he will be held in
reserve far the Democratic candidate
for Congress from the Second dis.

THE MITDXxA-fcTID J"OTTH*/I>T_AJE: FBIDAY, CTJLISTTJJLRir 15, 1892.
WASHINGTON LETTER.
The General Council of the Alliance at
its meeting in Washington proposed a
memorial setting forth the ideas and policies
which the Allince wants formulated into
laws. This memorial will be presented to
the Senate on Monday by Senator Peffer
and in the House by the Hon. Jerry
Simpson.
The Presidents of the various S:ate Coun
cils at a meeting in Waabingtoo, have for
mulated an address, which will be furnished
to all the Alliance Press, which urges the
sending of delegates to the conference to be
held in St. Louis, so that a closer union can
be formed with all the organizations of work
ing men, and a declaration of principles
formulated that shall be presented a: the
convention of the Republican, Democratic
and Third Party, with a request for the
approval of these principles ami their in
corporation into the various platforms.
No action ia suggested in the address as to
wbat shall be done in the event all or any
of the parties refuse to accept aod endorse
the program. The course for the Alliance
to follow ahoulJ this occur is left for futnre
consideration.
It ia very certain that Speaker Crisp in
bis assignment of the members of the Alli
ance Caucns to Committee work deliberately
determined to snob the Alliance. Not one
of them is placed on a Committee where he
can under any circumstances bring out any
of the measures, which these members as
representatives of the Alliance want brought
before Congress. Not a single Alliance
member is on any of the leading Commit
tees, except McKeighan, of Nebraska, who
is oo “Coinage, Weights and Measures” and
also on “ Enrolled bills.” Not one of the
Alliance members was put on the Committee
on Agriculture, though the only colored
man in tbe House, who is a lawyer, was
placed there.
Preparing tbe Way.
Reforms iu government of nations are
confronted by many formidable obstacles
and if of a radical kind the opposition they
encounter is the more obstinate, unrelenting
and uncompromising. The moss-backs
which have clutched power hold on to it
with a death grip and aeldom yield till
time puts them under the sod. New parties
are the demands of necessity and not the
work of malcontents, office aeekers and
cranks, although these abnormal spirits are
found in every party, every church and
eyery large association. The generation a
reform starts in which is great enough to
effect Bociety and shape the course of em
pire, must pass away before the fields sown
by tbe pioneers are harvested. The old
stumbling blocks of prejudice, ignorance,
bigotry and self idolatry, that block the
wheels of progress must all be removed by
the flight of time before tbe younger genera
tion with a truer education, and untram
meled by faLe theories, lame practices and
defective reasoning, can finish the work
began by the dearer brains and more
unselfish natures among their ancestors
Tbe radical reforms in government which
are now being agitated will not be secured
in a few years, as many sanguine people
hope and expect. There will be advance
and retreat, trials and failures, reoewed
efforts and disappointments. Faint hearts
will fall by the way and many turn back
from imaginary dangers that lie before
them, frightened by the dismal prophets of
evil omen, while the brave and true will
ever press forward whether victory or re
pulse attends them, gathering force from
tbe young and hopeful, the independent of
thought and brave of heart, Tbe Republi
can party came up through much tribula
lation and heart ache, through a constant
experience of change, treading the wine
press; and had it not beeu for the mad
haste of the slave oligarchy which forced
matters to a crisis where retreat was impos
sible, and nothing hut fight or surrender
was left to choose between, tbe reform it
was born out of would have been many years
more in reaching its grand final.
The unrest which iB now moving like
troubled waters tbe entire web and woof ot
society. is infiuitely greater and grander
than the questions that stirred to i.s depths
the public mind in the fifties. The English
aristocratic class systems which were en
grafted on the parent stock of our republi
can form of government has in tbe beginning
of the second century commenced to yield
an abundant crop of the identical fruit that
ia so plentiful in monarchical Europe.
Through all these years it has been slowly
maturing and repening and now in ita rich
fruition it is far larger and finer than tbe
parent tree in the old world producers, and
is the tnvy of aristocracy who diaport in
the gardens of the Hesperides that bloom
and ripen perennial harvests ip the sun
shine of royalty. To slay the dragon that
guards the golden fruit, to tear out the
monarchical branches from our liberty tree
and regrafl it with the ciona of pure repub
lican institutions is the grand but stupendous
task this generation ia beginning to address
itself to. But the old moss-backs who have
grown up under the shade of this poison oak
till they have passed tbe point which slopes
to the setting sun and when they taste of any
thing new sickens and hope is left behind,
will have to sleep with their fathers ere
victory U complete. Organize, educate,
here a little and there • little ia the work
which the present laborers in the field are
called on to do. Thia ia alow, tedious aod
discouraging to all, and especially 10 to
those who cannot penetrate the future with
the mind’s eye, but it fa tbe sure and only
road to success.
While labor wi 1 never be made richly
remunerative and happily prosperous
by the unsought generosity of the
capitalist, neither will It be improved
into contended satisfaction by the
monthly efforts of theoretic dem
agogical- It will have to work out lie
own salvation by education, temper
ance, self-reliance and Intelligent co
operation.
The above is a bit of philosophy by
the Philadelphia Times, and the first
move in co-operation is .for them to
vote together and send their own
people to represent them in congress
and the legislatures, iu place of corpora
tion attorneys and polltlaai adventures
such os now fill those Important publle
positions.
PRESIDENT POLE.
To the Brotherhood of the National
Farmers Alliance and Indus
trial Union.
We believe that the great principles upon
which the demands of our Order are baaed
are correct. We believe that these princi
ples are founded iu equity and justice. We
believe their recognition and adoption in
onr governmental policy would conserve the
highest interests of tbe public weal. We
believe that the jnst equipoee between the
great industries of our country, which is
absolutely essential to our existence as a
free people, baa been destroyed. We believe
that the political power and wealth of the
country are being appropriated and absorb
ed, through discriminating and vicious leg
islation, by the few, to the detriment and
ruin of the many. We believe that as a
people we are fast drifting away from the
landmarks of the fathers of the republic.
Prompted by these painful convictions,
we have solemnly appealed to the sense of
justice acd patriotism of the American peo
ple. Ignoring past party differences, men of
all sections and of all shades of political
opioion, have magnanimously and patriot
ically aligned themselves under tbe Alli
ance banner and espoused a common cause —
the cause of common country, tbe cause of
humanity and justice.
We expected opposition, persistent, bit
ter and powerful opposition. We expected
that every expedient that could be devised
for demoralizing and dividing us would be
employed. We expected that the formida
able evils against which we had entered
battle would iolreucli and fortify behind
party lines, and employ the machinery and
enginery of party power against ns. We
expected that our righteous demand for an
open field, and an equal chance in the race
of life would be ignored and spurned. We
expected that onr earnest plea for justice
would not be weighed in tbe scale of reason
nor met with fair and manly argument, but
that we would be ridiculed, maligned and
persistently misrepresented. In ail this we
bare not been disappointed.
Now what is our duty as Alliance men?
Plainly, it is to Stand loyally and manfully
by our principles, extend the hand of friend
ship and fellowship to any man or party
who favors onr principles. Place measures
above men. Place country above section.
Place love of home, of family, above the
illusive and treacherous rewards of party
service' Place right above wrong.
Let duty—the grandest word ever uttered
in the dialect of mortal tongue, duty to God,
duty to country, duty to home and family
be tbe sublime standard of our action in all
things devolving upon as citizens. Let us
be diligent and faithful in all our duties as
Alliance men. Keep up and strengthen the
organization. Ecourage the wavering,
strengthen the weak and confirm the strong.
Continue lo educate the people in the great
principles of justice, equality aod truth.
The crucial test of our manhood, and our
loyalty lo principle is upon us. Stupendous
effort will be made by onr enemies to so
direct the campaign of 1892, as to disrupt
and destroy our organization. Appeals to
sectional pride or prejudice will be made
Let us answer that our Order knows no
North, no South, no East, uo West. Tbe
disaffecction or disloyalty of an occasional
traitor in our ranks will be urged as evi
dence of decay. Let us answer that no
human organization that ever had an
existence was exempt from these. Party
fealty and party spirit Will be our prin
ciples. Let us answer that we will stand by
that parly that will stand by us, and that
we are not so blind as to expect relief at tbe
hands of any political party that opposes
our principles, and seeks to destroy our
organization. Weakness in numbers, and
our disorganized condition as a political
factor, will he paraded to prove our help
lessress. Let us answer that the old Saxon
spirit aud courage which met this same
base argumeot io two of the mightiest rev
olutions of modern times, aud gave to the
world this great country, has not yet died
out in the hearts of tbe American people.
Corporate power, centtalized capita!, and
all their allied political forces, will be held
up in formidable array to intimidate ns.
Relying on the justice of our cause, the
invincible power of right, and the favor of
God, let us meet them with tbe only weapons
left us—manhood and ballots.
‘ Equal rights to all and special privileges
to none” is all we ask. A just and honor
able people would be content with nothing
ies*. Be not deceived by plauaihje devices
involving a compromise of principles, or a
betrayal of the high purposes of our Order.
Beware of gift-bearing. Greeks.
Fraternally, L. L. Polk,

Women are not slow to comprehend.
They’re quick. They’re alive aod yet it
wee a mao who discovered the one remedy
for tbatr peculiar ailments. The man was
Dr, Pierce. The discovery was his “Fav

women. Why go round ‘’with one foot in
the grave,” suffering in silence—misunder
stood—when there’* a remedy at hand that
isn’t an experiment, but which is sold
under the guarantee that if you are disap
pointed in any way in it. you can get your
money back by applying to its makers. We
can hardly imagine a woman's not trying it.
Poasibiy it may be true of one or two—but
we doubt it. Women are ripe for it. They
mast have it. Think of a prescription and
nine out of tea wailing for it. Carry tbe
news to them!

Tbe Tariff Trick-
Like the etigbt ol band ago tbe
politicians use tbe tariff to attraot
tbe attention of tbe crowd while tbe
money traders pick tbeir pockets.
The people are beginning to see bow
tbe trick is done.
Governor (farmer) Brown was in
augurated on Wednesday In tbe most

Cash or no Paper.
The West Grove Independent
complaioiog of the slow way sub
scribers to country papers are wout
to pay up their subscriptions remarks,
‘•lt must be a self-evident fact to
every country publisher that the time
is fast approaching when there will
be but one way to conduct a local
newspaper, and that will be on a
strictly cash basis ”
That is the right way to conduct
almost every business where the con
sideration is small, and it would oe
the general practice if the people bad
or could get the cash. If our brother
will join in and help to carry forward
political reforms that will enable the
farmers on whose prosperity the
country journal depends to have
ready cash to meet their subscription
and other small bills he may.reason
ably hope to see that good time come.
The monopoly press of the is
all cash in advance, subscription and
advertising. Its patrons rob the
farmers and are able to pay. The
farmers having been robbed are not
in a condition to pay their press
which is the country press. Not
withstanding this fact so .apparent
the country, press continues the
willing tool of the city press to help
plutocracy rob its patrons.
Don’t you see brother that the city
press is the desdly enemy of the
country press? It pushes its ireekly
editions at nominal rates into every
nook and corner of the country in its
efforts to crowd out the country
press. It employs a boy at every
railroad station where there is a vil
lage of two hundred inhabitants to
sell its daily editions which persis
tently misinform their readers of the
condition of public affairs and praise
and advocate the plutocratic methods
of its masters which are beggering
the country and booming the cities,
keeping full the plethoric pockets of
the city press by cash down in
advance for every thing. When
country publishers become indepen
dent thinkers, in place of taking their
cue from the city press, and address
themselves to the interest of their
own patrons as the city press does
they may hope to receive spot cash
for their work and not till then.
Tariff Howlers vs. Calamity
/ Howlers.
It has puzzled some honest folks,
no donbt, to account for the hostility
of the politicians to take up any
other question than the tariff as a
party measure. But there is nothing
in this to be surprised at. The very
moment any other question is taken
up the old parties will split in two
and rapidly fall to pieces. When the
question of reforming the financial
systems of the country secures the
first place, the position it is entitled
to, that moment the work of disinte
gration in the old parties will begin
fbe monopoly and money aristocracy
element which controls both old
parties will take a solid stand shout
der to shoulder, in opposition to any
change from the British system
under which the producing and
laboring class now groan, while all
the latter class will range themselves
in opposition to the class o } wealth
aristocracy. The disintegration will
be as complete as that in 1860 among
the then old parties. And this is
why tariff is howled for so madly by
every politician in the country.
Tariff bowlera is the name which
ought to be applied to the old parti
sans till they became the laughing
stock of the public. Pass the word
along the line.
Futures.
We want to call particular atten
tion of our readers to the article on
“Futures’ 1 and the synopsis of a law
for the suppression of this New York
and Chicago gambling in the pro
ducts ot the farmers, published from
the Jmertcan Agriculturist. When
this old, conservative agricultural
paper is foroed to take op the sub
ject of legislation to protect tjtc
farmer, it is high time for other agri
cultural and country papers to be
stir themselves in the e&me cause .
The agricultural press too much
resemble the dumb dogs on the walls
of Zion which the prophet likens
indifferent people of danger to. The
farmers must torce their agricultbfal
papers to take up their cause by
dropping all that refuse.
The History of Nations.
The history of the rise and fall ot
nations is very simple. It is that
indqstry-r— l*bor —created wealth.
By the skillful manipulation cf
money it was converted into debt.
Debt by the subtle power of usury
or interest drew the surplus wealth
thaL labor ersated into the few cun
ning bands that held possession of
the debt and eventually made labor
the slave of its own prestion. The
history of this nation is now being
written by a mere transcript of
ancient history.
Money has merely replaced the
club and spear of the savage and the
only distinction between tkecivilized
man and the savage ia the character
the weapon used in bis exploit
mgs'; the object of the occupation of
both being the saint—the seizure and
appropriating of the goods and ser
vices of others to the selfish use of
the agccessfql ponderer. *
MORE DWARFS DISCOVERED.
Tribe* of X.IUI* Me* Extending Hall
Way Across Africa.
When Paul Du Chaillu, about 30 years
ago, reported the existence of a dwarf
lacs in west Africa, his statements were
received with derisive incredulity. The
world little dreamed that his story would
be proved to be perfectly accurate, and
also that later explorations would bring
to light many tribes of .these little people
stretching far across Africa.
The latest discoveries concerning tho
dwarfs have been made this year by the
French explorer, Gaillard, during his
fruitful researches on the upper Songha
River, one of the largest northern trib
utaries of tiie Congo. He found near tho
i towns of important chiefs many families
■j of dwarfs, who in that region are called
the Babingas. They are great elephant
hunten. They do not live in the vil
lages, but camp in the forests. They aro
of less than medium stature, are very
muscular, are extremely skillful in the
chase, and their weapons are assegais,
with a head like that of a harpoon.
They wear their hair and beard uncut
end have no ornaments. When they feel
that they have a grievance against a chief
under whose protection they have been
living they disappear into the forest
without saying a word, and begin again
in other regions their lives as nomad
hunters. In return for the fruits of the
chase, with which they supply the chiefs,
vegetables and articles of native man
ufacture are given to them. They are
a source ot profit to the tribes among
whom they live, and consequently they
are almost always well treated.
The discovery of the Babingas adds
another link to the almost unbroken chain
of these dwarf tribes, extending from the
region westofGaboontotheNile. TheOb*
ango of Du Chaillu, the Babingas of Gail
lard, the Akka of Schweinfurt, the Tiki
tiki of Stanley, are all evidently frag
ments of an ancient tribe of little men,
who were probably scattered to widely
separated regions by the fortunes of war
in which they were vanquished by intrud
ing races who were physically mors
powerful than themselves. The numer
ous dwarfs known as the Batwa, who
have been found in the southern part of
the Congo basin, are also near relatives
of the people north of the Congo. All of
them, though the' various fragments
are widely separated, have the same
characteristics. It is surprising that Such
widely separated people, who perhaps
have not heard of one another for some
centuries, should retain so much in com
mon.—New York Sun.
Advocates the Vs* of Alcohol.
The great storm of discussion which
Dr. J. Mortimer Granville started in the
London Times by his outspoken advocacy
of the moderate use of alcohol has now
subsided, and the doctor, rallying from
the storm of expostulation, sarcasm, and
denunciation outpoured on his devoted
head, has taken a breath and restated
his' position. He stands manfully by his
colors.. After reiterating his hatred and
contempt for drunkenness, lie says:
“Abstinence all the world over and in
all ages hss taken, and still takes, the
backbone out of a man and leaves him a
limp, invertebrate animal with a pulpy
brain, a feeble intelligence, and a will
which lacks the power to assert its au
thority over the instincts and propensities
it was made to control. Drunkenness
suspends the action of the will, and it
often repeated it destroys the power it
had too frequently enslaved; but a mod
erate and wise use of alcohol in suitably
apportioned quantities is not only desira
ble but advantageous to the healthy not
less than to the sick.
“The weak minded and short sighted
practice of ‘tippling’ and ‘treating’ with
'drinks* at odd intervals throughout the
day, with no better excuse than ‘having
a thirst’or ‘feeling local’is the silliest
and most irrational to which any sane
man can addict himself. Can not a
man be friendly in business or in social
intercourse without helping the object
of his friendliness to get drunk r
Meanwhile, there are habits to be cor
rected, not crimes to be punished, as
faults are avenged in the nursery. If
drinking be put on a rational basis; if
the people be taught bow much absolute
alcohol they ought to consume in 34
hours—never more than two ounces—and
let them be told, or take pains to find out
for themselves, precisely how much abeo
tute alcohol each favorite beverage con*
tains, and arrange their ‘drinks' accord
ingly, and drunken England will be
drunken no longer. ”
Flpodtd With Honey. •
Whoever heard of a church being
flooded with honey? The very idea
seems ridiculous, and in any other placo i
than California would excite a smile of
incredulity. It appears that a swarm of
vagrant bees, while in search of a suit
able home, found an admirable location
in the loft of an Episcopal church in
Tulare county. Here, having an abun
dance of space, they increased and mul
tiplied, and at the same time laid in a
large store of honey. Great white combs
were attached to the rafters overhead,
and added to until hundreds of pounds '
Of honey were hidden away in the waxen
cells. Then an unlooked for contingency
arose. The weather turned very warm,
and in the loft, where the bees were hold- <
ing high carnival, the temperature j
reached the melting point The wax i
gave way beneath the torrid heat, and 1
down the rafters, scantlings, and joists 1
began to flow streams of liquid sweet- 1
ness. Through every crevice it poured, J
and soon altar, pulpit, chancel, and all '
the belongings of the sacred edifice, were ,
treated to such a deluge as the world has i
never seen. No effort could stay the 1
sticky tide, and before anything could be j
done to repair damages the interior of 1
the church was a sight to behold, j
