jpr* ,Js tdhitfd $ a urns, published on Friday morning of each week at Rising Sun, Cecil Co., Mabylane BI E. E. EWING & SONS. Independent in politics and all othe> subjects. SI.OOA YEAR. IN ADVANCE. Feb. 15,190 L. Governor Smith has issued a proclama tion calling the Legislature to meet in extra session March 6th. The War Department is spending $500,000 a day and the Navy Department half as much more. The pension list doubles this. Where is it to end ? • • Great Britain is hurrying up 30,000 re inforcements to South Africa to assist the 220,000 soldiers already there to crush out the spirit of liberty and republican gov ernment. The United States is recruiting 100,000 men to take the place of those in the Philippienes, to try and stamp out the unquenchable fires of freedom that burn in the Filipino’s breast. A Great Demand. Seventy-five thousand copies of the first issue of The Commoner, Mr. Bryan’s paper, were printed so great was the de mand. Thirty thousand were at first struck off, deeming that would be suf. ficient, but the demand was so great that the press had to be started again. An Unending Conflict Between the Advocates of Equal Rights to All and Those Who Seek Special Privileges-—Advantages Enjoyed by the Latter. Communicated. “Equal rights to all and special priv ileges to none,” has ever been the shib boleth ofj Democracy. But in the appli cation of this doctrine there has always been, and as long as man is selfish there always will be, a conflict with those seek ing (special privileges. In this conflict those who advocate equal rights have on their side, the be6t interests of the great majority of the people, and would always win, where the people govern themselves, if the contest were fairly and openly con ducted. Even where the contest is fair, the seeker after special favors has a great advantage in the fact that he can keep his purposes secret whereas the champion of the people must disclose the plan he .. advocates, and explain how it will work. Thus, for example, iu the controversy between the people aud the money power, which began in Washington’s . Cabinet and has continued to the present, the plans of the bank advocates have always been either bidden, or, held up as something different from what they really were. Hamilton’s first scheme for the United States to assume aud pay at par, all the old debts incurred by the States in the Revolution, was carried through, against Jefferson’s opposition, under the righteous plea of public honor and strengthening the public credit. It was in reality, a H scheme to enrich a few speculators who '• bought up these old and worthless debts for S song, aud history records that such was its effect. •- Some similar subterfuge has marked eveiy act obtained by the money power from that day to this. The same is true of protective tariffs, always secured under " the pretence of benefiting the country, but always operating to take money out of the pockets of the many and put it into those of the favored few. So likewise, the ship subsidy bill is urged upon the patriotic ground of building up our carry ing trade, and providing juxiliary cruisers : > and transports for the government in time .sof war, but it is simply an effort of a few -steamship companies to further enrich themselves out of the public treasury. Another advantage on the side of those seeking special favors, is that they can keep their object in view and work for it for any length of time, gain it little by little, and even suffer defeats without ever giving up; whereas the people are apt to become discouarged, with the failure of one or two efforts, and are too ready to listen to those false teachers who say, we 'fcau’t win, we must give it up. ' The manufacturer, seeking to tax the .public for his benefit, the bank thirsting for the stupendous power aud profits of a money monopoly, the ship company try ing to get its hands into the treatury, the steel company bent on robbing the people iu the sale of armor plate to the govern ment, never give up. They are instant in Season aud out of season, by fair means or foul, they press their demands until th?y gain them, whether it takes one* . effort, or two, or ten, or an hundred. - No one thing perhaps, delays the final triumph of the people's rights so much as 1 the disposition to change about from one policy to another in the face of enemies ' who keep up au unceasing effort for an 1 unchanging purpose —the unchanging '-'purpose of tryiug to put something into their pockets that is produced by the toil of others. [The reason the people are fickle and | ask for a change is because the Demo cratic party offers them nothing tangible. 'Will our correspondent who speaks for v tliat Association, tell us what the Mary land Democratic Association proposes to offer in place of the outrageous conditions championed by the Republican party? The weakness of the Democratic party, visible in the barreu results of its forty years’ history, is found in its dry rot con servatism. It is afraid to propose any thing. Its opposition to vicious measures of the plutocracy is all right, but what does it offer instead? Echo answers What?— Eo.Jouk.J the febbuabt 15,1001.. CONSTITUTION. Cecil County Anti-Saloon League.

Danger of Colds and La Grippe. The greatest danger from colds and la ! grippe is their resulting iu pneumonia. If reasonable care is used, however, and I | # Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy taken, all danger will be avoided. Among the tens of thousands who have used this remedy for these diseases we have yet to learn of a single case having resulted iu pneumo nia, which shows conclusively that it is a certain preventive of that dangerous malady. It will cure a cold or an attack of la grippe iu less time than any othtr treatment. It is pleasant and safe to take, for sale by E. T. Reynolds, druggist 2 Life On the Pacific Coast—Tribute to An Old Friend. BY JOSEPH A. ROMAN. Dear Friends Last week's Midland has notice of the death of mv boyhood friend, S. J. Woodrow. It is more than fifty years since we were “first acquaint” and I hope you will bear with me while I cast my pebble on his grave. The boys who gathered around the stove in the old school house at Rowlandville are widely scattered and mostly forgotten. To a few of us old fellows memory sets them in place and recalls the pleasant wavs of each. Among them Steve is foremost in kindly good nature. There was in that school a boy named “Jim,” abound boy, whose lot was bard work and slim fare. A peep . into his basket prompted Steve to offer him a | piece of his mince pie. You remember what a! piece of old fashioned home made mince pie was, j j the one-fourth a circle a foot In diameter and an | inch thick. The inside was rich, a whole meal, i meat, fruit and drink all in ohe. To see Jim de vour it was ample reward to Steve, whocontin tioued through that winter to furnish Jim pie, for , Steve's kindness was inherited and the story of I Jim’s short rations told at home met hearty re-! sponse. It may have been that this richer diet nerved Jim’s heat to it, but anyway he soon found courage to “ iun off,” and died a prosper-! ous mechanic in Philadelphia since the war. This kindness of Steve’s boyhood attended him through life. A little more than a year ago I met him after an absence of nearly twenty years. The old light beamed liom his eyes and as we talked his heart warmed to those old schoolmates as if fifty years were but as a day. You wish to hear about Oregon City. Well, when I was in Missouri 1 thought I kuew a good deal about it, but after two months residence here have grown modest aul am ready to say there is much I do not know. Why did I make this move? After the late election settled for certain that we had embarked ou this sea of expansion with all its lollies, I got tired of being so near the i centre I could not feel the revolution, so came to I this rim where people of everywhere meet and strive. Then we do not have cold weather here, hut we do have what a Missouri woman would call “ mighty mean weather,” for it rains, snows, fogs aud drizzles, but said to be healthy for all that. There is much to remind me of the Cecil bills. The air has the Susquehanna ozone iu place of the lung disturbing quality of the free 1 breezes of the middle west. We are having a Jan- j uary flood. The Willamette is so high that all i the big mills at Oregon City are shut down The j most water they have had at any one time since j ’9l, when the main street of the town was u thoroughfare lor boats, as is sometimes the case | of your Port Deposit. This flood serves a good | 1 purpose by giving several hundred hard worked: men a needed lay off. ; In these mills they run what at Rowlandville ’ in days of yore was called “double tour,” that Is J two sets of hands to the twenty-four hours. Those going ou at night work 13% hours; the day men j * 10% hours, except on Sundays: then the men who { go on Saturday eve work until 12 m of Sunday, j when the day man of the week beiore takes his 1 turn until Monday morning. This is the rule but 1 mostly these Saturday eve men work until Sun r day eve, thus they each get one Suuday off every ■ two weeks instead of half Sundays every week. , This arrangement is for changing the shifts with out loss of time. 1 The wages are one dollar and a-lialt a day, with something higher for the foreman These men , live all about us but at this time of year we do not see them, only their jack o’ lantern lights as they hurry along the side walk going to or coming from the mills. It is a slave’s life and only pref erable to farm labor or soldiering because of the . seeming better situation of their wives and chil dren. The great majority of these operatives are young wun. Tpey come from everywhere, except Asia and Afiica. Some of them have been to Klondike and Alaska, some to the Philippines as soldiers: otheis have rustled cattle and sheep on the ranges in the pasture country east of us, and many from the logging camps of this coast. The unmarried are uot considered desirable by the “ bosses ” They have away ol taking themselves hence at the rtport of new diggings or like light cause. The young married man who has con tracted with a loan company for his house and I lot to be paid for ou the instalment plan is the catch they like best. He is easier held to long hours aud arbitrary rules, besides we all like to 1 help a man with a family. It seems to be settled that ihis is to be a manu facturing town. At one time this would have meant that fine residences would grace the hills overlooking the valley. There was once a move in this dirction and some good houses built. These, however, were not long occupied by the puilcjers, they either passed into the hands of the Portland bankers or are foeld as a bmj investment, rented to store heepers, mill foremen, doctorsand other small professionals while the mill propri etors stay in the big cities where society is better and where the evading of taxes is easier. The land adjacent to this town, where not too rough to cultivate, is held in small tracts, devoted to a mixed trucking. The vegetaole growing is, however, monopolized by the “ heathen Chinee,’ 1 who uses the river bottoms and over flow lands owned by the various companies. This mild, moist climate suits the Jersey cow. The absence of corn, and the abundunce of roots, clover hay and a wheat offall give to her a fine coat It is not much to care for.a Jersey cow vyhere cabbage, sugar beets, mangels, carrots and potatoes are gathered in good condition and abundance the 21st of January as tpey are here today. Stables and hoard flours ure required but with good lumber delivered for SB.OO per M. this is not the Job it was m Missouri. The old apple trees are moss covered, stunted growths; nothing to compare to those of Cecil, hut they seldom fail to bear, while the plums, cherries and pears make good returns,und some of them immense crops. The land I have seen all bears a striking re semblance to the Stone Run land of your Sixth district. Precisely the same “nigger head” rocks and naturally fertile soil. Clover, timothy, wheat, oats, which they sow from October to May, vetch es, China peas and I know not how many others are forage crops here. Corn will not mature right, but no trouble to grow “ roasting ears.” I am going up the valley soon, which some say is the best country ou the earth. I have been looking a good while for that place, and if I am satisfied in lef you know. PERSONAL AND LITERARY. Stephen Phillips, whose poetic trag edy, “Herod,” has just been- pro nounced 4 suqpess in London, has been an actor himself in the past, Mrs. Humphry Ward is one of the few modern English women who have deliberately prepared themselves for u literary life. She spent eight years in study In the Bodleian library at Oxford.

His , other two loves we re two young wont ed who subsequently became his first \ * and second wife. , One day Tom Corwin, a prominent figure in legal and political circles years ago. met a political opponent, with whom he promptly fell into a discussion, in the course of which he constantly referred to the whig par- j ty ns if it were still in existence. “Don’t you know the whig party is dead?” at last exclaimed his acquaint ance, with evident irritation; “Horace Greeley killed it, and it’s 1 dead and buried.” “Certainly,” said Mr. Cor win, with much solemnity, “and I am . one of its graves, sir, and not to be j I trampled on!” Potash Soap for Eye Glasses. Constant wearers of eye-glasses, ’ spectacles, etc., are much annoyed by the dimming of the glasses upon en tering a warm room from a cooler place. It will greatly interest them ■ to know that this evil can be obvi ated by rubbing the glasses with soft soap. All that is necessary is to rub every morning or before going out a | little so-called green soap (washing soap, potash soap) over the whole sur face of the glass, polishing it until It !is bright again. The preparations, ; “Gasolin” and “Oeulustra,” offered for i the same purpose at high prices, arc nothing else than pure potash soap.— Die Werkstatt. After Its Father.
