People living in the natural gas belt would think more of the gas if it did not fail them just when they need ed it. In many sections the inhabi tants relied upon gas for heat, fuel and manufacturing purposes. Just iu the midst of the cold snap old Piute, or whoever has charge of the under ground gas trust, turned oft’the meter and stopped up the pipes. The iv-ult was that many persons suffered severe ly from the cold and the wheels of in dustry stayed -till for a while. President Cleveland must l>e slightly puzzled to know what to do with a temporal*-' petition thirty miles in length that was hauled in carts to the White House recently. It’s a big thing, and it may l>c a very good thing, but where in the world can they find room to put it in the White House? It would nearly fill the radi ant “Red Room,” and there is no other room that could be properly used for its reception. The “Blue Room" is in constant use. It would be mani festly improper to stow it down in the Cellar, for several cases of “extra dry’’ are laid on their cob-wcbUxl sides in that portion of the Executive Mansion. If it was stored in the garret it- tre mendous weight would bring the whole building tumbling and rattling to the ground. The only thing that we can suggest is that one end of it be attached to the rear jart of an express train and rapidly unwound towards the ii' -rtli.

That they are hard to arouse in the morning and when they come down -tairs merely pick at their breakfasts; go to school with empty stomachs, come home and repeat the same killing program. Older people do not seem to realize that child ish heads are not capable of grasping problems that are easy for mill lire minds. Their great desire seems to be to force education at the expense of health, spirits, recreation and all that makes childhood a golden period in stead of a weary grind. Education is a blessing. It tits one to cope with the world, but it can be accomplished with out defeating the very results that it is expected to gain. Children can lie ed ucated without strain and in a manner that will make school life a pleasure instead of a task. It can be accom plished just as well by lightening tasks and avoiding the great multi plicity of studies. Ambition can be stimulated and ought to be stimulated, but not at the braiu’s expense. Child hood is too sweet to have all its prom ise crushed nut under the iron heel of flmn or burdensome task. 0 Some After Thoughts. As a result ot ttie last election, the complexion of the Congress of 1595, in numerical order the fifty-fourth, will be decidedly Republican, due to the lack of appreciation of circumstances inllu encing the acts of our legislators in Washington on the tariff law, also the low price of wheat and a general feeling of apathy. During the agitation of a change of tariff, business in every locality under went a marked decline and hard times took p of the country. Strikes were of frequent occurrence and large manufacturing industries were 1 compelled to suspt-nd operations until a more favorable period. Employees consequently had to bear the brunt of this action on the part of their employ ers and w ere induced to believe all the nonsensical and damaging ret poured into their ears by rabid partisans w ith a view of their use at election time. Fanners were interviewed and talk ed into a state of antipathy to the prin ciples .of Jett scren, instilled into their minds by honest and honorable ancestors, and which, before that time, they had always advocated and su(>- ported. (Haring and highly-colored newspaper articlis tended to complete the victory of the enemies of IVinoera ey. At election time these dissatisfied voters turned their bucks upon their party, and helped the very men against whom they have in the past waged the most bitter warfare. Logical explatia- 1 tion and intelligent newsjiaper disserta tions concerning the paramount issues at stake, made little or no impression upon the stolid determination of those who had U-forehaud made out their tickets, and at the critical moment, w hen the tide could easily have been turned in the balance for or against, cast it with the enemy, or about the same thing.-refrained from voting. Several mouths have passed since the Sth of November, and the people have had a chance to calmly consider their action and come to the conclusion whether the complete rout of the Democratic candidates accomplished the ends at which their temporary withdrawal from the stronghold of party unison were directly aimed, or otherwise. In the first place the situation, as re gards holding the power in both houses of t ongress was a critical one and was realized by all who gave the matter the slightest thought. Defeat meant minority with no power to do anything but tillibusternnd hinder the work of those holding the reins in hand. The next Congress will be able to pass a two-third vote over the President’s veto, with the aid of the Populists, who 1 are fast gaining a holding in both Houses. Czar Reed will, in all probability, be chosen speaker, w hich means a renew- , al of the scenes of despotism which marked his previous career in that ex alted position. F rederick County is now represented by a Republican of bitter partisan view s and prejudices, whose entire aim will be the furtherance of his party | and capitalistic backers’ wishes and his own personal aggrandizfnent. Therefore, our people have little to look forward to front his efforts in their be half. Protection and Monopoly are his watch-words and Capitalists his staunch friends. He favors the Force Rill. Negro domination and a return to high prices and big profits for trusts and combinations, in whose service lie would prove a willing tool. Wheat shortly after the election bounded forward a number of (Hunts, and then settled to its normal price, with a tendency to go upward. Poli tics and the action of Congress, can till influence tlie supply and demand for wheat in an indirect and uncertain manner, by creating a market under favorable conditions, for our surplus in foreign countries and to this lienefi eial result, the Democratic platform tended. It will be remembered, that this question of a change of the old tar iff McKinley' regulation# was advo cated by President Cleveland, when lie was a candidate for office in 1887 ami wa# defeated by Harri-on. It was that question alone that did it. Then it was said that under a new taritl law, the price of wheat would go up to a high mark, considering the many labor-giving inventions that had bevii reduced to a working basis for the benefit of the agriculturalist. In the meantime, other countries began the 1 raising of wheat in large quantities, and soon our exportation of this staple and other productions of the fanner was reduced to a minimum and the price steadily declined until it reached the lowest point for years—in theneigh borlnxsi of .50 cent# per bushel. But even at that price the percentage is only a small amount less than when the price was SI.OO and over. The pur chasing value of a dollar is far greater than ever before, due in a great meas ure to the application of the new tariflT bill to the needs of the situation. Farmers should realize that it i# im possible to conijiete with the large prairie fanns in the West, where steam supplants the work of horses and thou sands of acres are tilled as easily, at a proportionately less expense, than so many hundreds in the East. Tt is like manufacturing good# by hand against ! machinery—the latter has 50 per cent, advantage both as to output and cost of production. These and many other | things tend to keep wheat at the pres, ent prices to the exclusion of good re sults front legislation. If any increase in value or benefit in other ways can i come to the relief of the farmer, it 1 must be looked for from the present 1 taritl law, or one embodying its essen- 1 tial characteristics. We may safely add that only by a Democratic Congress, sustained by a Democratic Praident| could such a measure receive traction necessary to its adoption. Notwithstanding the r many false * PRKDERTCK CITIZEN, FRIDAY MORNING FEBRUARY 22. 1895. and audacious reports circulated by means of the subsidized press <>f this country, the present tariff measure, evolved in the Senate, from the then considered too radical clauses of the \\ ilson Bill, after a long and seeming unnecessary term of debate and con tention, is doing all that was claimed . for it by its advocates, and even more. It is estimated, as heretofore pub- ! lished in the Citizen, that the ex- j cess of receipts over expenditures for the year 1895, will amount to the sum j of $20,000,000. But much has happen- 1 ed to hinder the flood-tide of profits j from our custom duties in the earlier I stages of its operation. Since the ; first of the present year the ad- j vance has been marked and rap id, and it will not be long before the entire world will see the manifold blessing of the Democratic tariti' law enjoyed by one and all alike; no favor itism, no exclusion. The present condition of the finan ce-' were explained in a measure iu an editorial in the Citizen of the Sth inst. It is incumbent upon Congress to pass some law which will relieve the treasury of the burdens which now unjustly oppress it. Both Return'rats and Republicans are divided in senti ment, as regards the establishment of a perfect bi-metalie system, and can not. it seems, unite upon any plan by which even temporary relief can be gained. Theeontinued issuance of bonds i< like l ouring water into a sieve, for it only helps for a time to keep tip the gold reserve and creates another in debtedness which Uncle Sam must li quidate by going down into his gold pocket at the end of a certain number of years, tiesides paying annually several millions in interest. Our worthy President lias followed the law established to guide him in such east's, and in hewing so closely to the line some of the chips have fallen upon dangerous ground, resulting in many of the recent attacks made upon our Chief Executive, even upon the floor of the Senate and House. It is a ease of “many men of many minds,” in Congress and many incompetent judges on the outside. liow often does a little calm and un biased deliberation prevent extreme measures by persons (xisscssing a good principle, but a wavering faith. Con sider the whole matter from beginning to end and sec if the “party of the peo ple, has not done much to commend it, which outshines the trifling mistakes gathered in the bright reflection, like moths around an electric light i Somestimes one of the tiniest of these insects get between the illuminary and ; some object upon which its form is magnified many times. So it is with , the numerous faults laid at the door of our party. They are often changed entirely in the telling. Never was an administration called upon to face such appalling difficulties and provide for exigencies which arose like mushrooms over night, yet never has the guiding hand faltered in doing what was deemed expedient and neees- I sary to meet the emergency. The Democratic bark has ploughed through troubled waters in the past and always came out unscathed and in vigorated by the ordeal. Such an out come can be expected of the present situation, provided all who are Demo crats in theory and practice will stand i U P for their convictions and help turn the tables upon the enemy next fall. With a united front to the foe, an old time victory for Democracy will l>e an inevitable result. Republican newspapers are full of reports from alleged financiers, no names U'itig given, to the effect, that President Cleveland might have done better than to pay 3j per cent, interest on government bonds, and that it was ii"t necessary to have paid ] of a cent more interest on “coin” bonds than on gold bonds. Some of these "fake” fi nanciers and bankers could have aided the situation materially by coming out from behind ambuscade aud taking some of these bonds for less than 3} per cent, interest for “coin” or three for gold. Last week was the time to talk, not now. FOULY MURDERED Mr Daniel F. Shea, of EBicott City, Robbed and Killed by Unknown Parties. Ellieott City is in a ferment of excite ment over the recent outrage perpe trated iu that town. One of her best known business men was assaulted j and killed in his store, by (arties un- ' known, last Tuesday evening. Mr. Daniel F. Shea was the victim. He had beeu missing since the evening be f"re, when he was last seen cl uing his place of business for the day. The j b sly was only discovered Wednesday night at 9.30 o'clock. No direct clue is held by the authorities aud the theory I advanced, that it was the work of'a stranger iu the town, is not held as g"spel by all the people. The object was evidently robbery, as the dead man’s p ickets were entirely rifled; the murderers leaving traces of bloody fingers everywhere.

Sad Ending of the Promising Ca- . reer of Mr. W. T. Delaplaine, Founder of the Frederick “ News.” We are pained to announce the ■ death, after a short but painful illness, j of Mr. W. T. Delaplaine, who died at j his home in this city, on Tuesday morn- j ■ ing last, from the effects of an aggra vated case of pneumonia, which was 1 contracted during the recent cold spell, j and while our lamented fellow-towns men was engaged iu relieving thedis- i tress of the poor of our city. Mr. Del- ; aplaine was the President and General Manager of the Sewn Publishing Com pany. of this city, and carried with the i enterprise, that energy and push that j • has ever marked his career, eveu prior | to his assuming control of the Newt Company. We feel sure that few young meu in our city have so thoroughly enjoyed j the confidence ami respect of their’fel low-citizens as did Mr. Delaplaine, and | and in his death, our city and county have lost a useful and valued cilizeu. i At a meeting of the directors of the Great Southern Printing and Manufac turing Company to lake action on the death of Mr. Delaplaine, the following resolutions were passed: Whereas, Almighty God iu His wis i dom and providence lias seen tit to re move from our midst our worthy aud esteemed President and General Man ager, William T. Delaplaine, who, iu the midst of the cares and responsibil ities of his office and the performance of his onerous duties, has, m the prime of life and apparent full possession of vigor and enthusiasm, been stricken I down like the reed before the wind and called out of this life into the life j eternal; therefore, be it ltesolvd, That while we bow iu humble submission to the Higliet Wis dom that has seen tit to call from our , midst oue who was so actively iutei ested in and devoted to the welfare of this Company, we mourn with uu feiged grief the death of one who was ever worthy of the trust and confidence imposed iu him and who by bis un tiring energy, unfaltering perseverance and eulliusiasm, inspiring spirit of en terprise, good judgment and excellent business quahfiications, became not only an essential feature of the inter ests which under his guidance had at tained success, but an example to the | community of the highest manhood, iutegrny and honor. Resolved, That we mourn iu the death of William T. Delaplaine a man of unostentatious character, indefat igable industry, practical earnestness iu all the allairs of life, purily of thought and deed, and unswerving friendliness, a man whose worth to us and to the community, hut greater than all, to the lone and sorrowing wife and children and desolate sister and father, was higher than words can measure or sentiments of regret ex | press. I Resolved, That we extend to his j widow and children this expression of ! our esteem and respect for the deceas ed, assured that it voices likewise the feelings of the people of this com mu mty, who are bowed in acommou sor row beneath the blow that lias been dealt by death; sorrowing, yet trusting, we freely from our hearts oiler this tribute to the memory of oue who will be missed iu our councils, in our daily associations, and in our mutual labors for the interests which he had so much at heart.

Miss Bessie Clabaugb, one of Fred erick’s most popular young ladies, now on a visit to tier cousin, Mrs. Frank Marked, iu Charleston, W. Va., met w ith quite a painful accident recently, which might have proven much more serious.

As it was, she sustained uu injury to. iter left arm ; which caused much annoyance for sev- 1 oral days.

If there is any one thiug to which the farmers of this section should give paiticular attention and careful inves tigation, it is the question of what crop is the most profitable for tlicm to cul tivate—giving the same ail the time aud attention bestowed upon wheat and other cereals. This subject has of tentimes been ably discussed by meu who have given the matter careful thought and years of experimenta tion, aud the result of their research has beeu to place the garden and truek farm upon a plane tiigher than ever reached before iu utility and profit. Authorities on the above subject do 1 not advise fiersons who own and oper -1 ate farms and large tracts of laud to to tally abolish tHe raising of wheat, corn, barley, oats and other staples, but ad vocate to a greateror less degree, in ad dition to such industries, the profit-: able side issue of a truck garden, where- : iu early vegetables can lie raised for j home oi foreign markets, yielding a percentage of gain that will surprise those not acquainted with the facts, i These are times when most people are j hard pressed for money and we would advise our farmer friends to consider | the practicability of this plan to in- j crease the net earnings trom business, and have for sale a commodity at a j season w hen the highest prices pievall. i Now is the time to begin considering | the project, and we feel reasonably cer tain that those who engage iu tlie pro- j duct-ion of early vegetables and have them ready for the market when the demand is greatest, will Hud a baud some balance to their credit atterull debts are paid. Not a great deal of money is required to start into this branch of agriculture. Every farmer knows tlie essential features and pri mary details of cultivation; only a lit tle study being required to acquaint ’ him with the habits and necessary treatment of the diflerent varieties. It is not wise, without previous expe rience to engage at the outset, in truck gardening on a large scale, as it re quires a certain amount ot practical study to know what variety and quan tity of vegetables will bring the great est profit for the amount expended. There is good money iu tomatoes if produced early aud of fair quality. Any catalogue from a reliable seedmau will give the best varieties among which will surely be the Buckeye State, Fa- ! vorite, Dwarf Aristocrat, Beauty and Atlantic Prize. Takiug a medium price and quick sales to turn merchandise into ready cast), as a basis aud wheat aud corn are handily beaten. At an av erage price of 5 cents per pound, there are few products which net more re turns for money invested. Tomato seed should be sown at once iu hot beds aud remain until the second leaf puts iu an appearance; then transplant into cold frames about 2 by 3 inches apart until the season for outside plant ing arrives. Give them plenty of light and air and do not water too freely. If a large enough quautity is put out, , sei them so as to admit of horse culti vatiou, which will save great labor ai d expense. The northern markets : command the highest price and a re-1 liable commission merchant should be selected to handle your goods. Pack I them iu neat and attractive boxes aud only ship first-class stock. Honestv and pr inptuess will stimulate a ready market for your wares and give you i plenty ot Work. Rudishes are another profitable garden product. They ma ture in about thirty days aud a*good 1 price i. always obtainable, even iu large quantities. They should be ready \ for January, February and March mar- j kets. .Some good varieties are the Rap- I id Forcing, which, with g>aid cultiva tion matures in twenty days, Rosy! Gem, which is ready to cut iu about j twenty-three days and tiie Ciiartier, j which is a great favorite. Ollier trucks are potat >es, always iu demand at good j prices; parsnips, squash, celery, tur nip-, lettuce aud it host of others, each | having it- special features and strong . advocates. No mi-take can be made iu any of them, the only requirement l>eing a careful study of each one aud j the closest attention given to tiie oest methods of cultivation a trial ven ture into the truck business will soon convince the farmer that “there is money in it ” THURMONT’S CHURCHES.
