M(l. Friday Morning, July 15, 1887. The Late Hon. Henry W. Archer.

In Hit death of Hon. Henry W. Archer not only Harford county but Hit entire State has suffered a great loss. His abilities as a lawyer were c-emiuentand hiajiidginenl in public affairs keen, penetrating and just. He was uot a in the ordinary acceptation of the term, hut lie possessed the more exalted qualities of a statesman.

Unselfish with regard to his personal advancement lie was desirous only ol securing the interests and the rights of the whole people. Nor was he willing to seek this good end by devious ways, but always pursued the manly, straightforward, honest course. He would not lower his high standard of political morals to gain any office within the gift of the people. His services as a member of the Constitutional Convention of 1807 entitled him to the gratitude of the people of Maryland and he left the impress of Ids broad, comprehensive and enlightened mind upon the instrument framed by that body. He was a close, logical, forcible speaker, and Ids knowledge of the principiisof law, gained from 03 years of constant practice in his profession, made him formidable antagonist in any court.

He seldom made a political speccb, but when impelled to do so by a sense of duly to ids fellow-citizens, no man was listened to with more respectful attention and his words not only carried conviction with them but aroused Ids hearers to enthusiasm. His industry and devotion to Ids profession were remarkable and his uninterrupted good health enabled him to accomplish an unusual amount of work. He never dishonored bis profession by a single unworthy act, and his private life and character were above reproach. Ho died as doubtless he could have wished to the the height of bis usefulness and influence, witli mental vigor unimpaired and enjoying the confidence and esteem of his fellow-citizens. Tho death of such a man is a public cala- mily and to many, outside of his relatives, it will be felt as a personal, irreparable He was honored while living, and dying he shall not fall dropping flowers, that no man noticeth; Hut like a great branch of some sturdy tree, Hunt in a tempest and ttung down to death, thick with green leafage, so that, piteously, Kneh passer-by that ruin shuddorelh, And satth: gap this branch has left is wide, The toss thereof can never bo supplied." President Cleveland and the G.

A. K. President Cleveland last February received a letter signed by the Mayor of St. Louis, the President of tho Kxchangc and the commander of a prominent Grand Army Post, inviting him and Mrs. Cleveland to bo present at the National Encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic, to be held in that city next September.

The President verbally accepted the invitation, but after bis veto of the Dependent Pensions Bill certain Grand Army posts endeavored to make political capital by declaring that if President Cleveland came they would slay away. Their utterances were extremely insulting and in consequence the President lias written to the committee of invitation declining to go to St. Lonis at the lime of Hie Grand Army encampment. He is not conscious, be says, of any act which should make him fear to meet the Grand Army or any other assemblage of his fellow citizens, and for himself he would not ho afraid of insult. But the dignity of the office entrusted to him he must protect, and if Ida official acts are to be the subject of discussion it is belter that lie should not be present.

Moreover, be lias no desire to bo the cause of any discord or to embarrass the citizens of St. Louis in the entertainment of their guests, and for those reasons he withdraws his aeceptauce of their invitation. It was expected that tho presence of the President and Mrs. Cleveland would attract at least a million of visitors to St. Louis, and the merchants, hotel keepers and others whose business would lie benefltted thereby are justly indignant at the action of these Grand Array posts.

Tho President does uot hold the organization responsible but blames the bitter partisans who openly threatened to insult him if he came to St. Louis, We do uot believe this uncalled-for iusult to the President ol the United States came from any men who distinguished themselves for gallantry in the field. It proceeded, more likely, from those whose warlike ardor was aroused only when tho war was over and they were no longer in danger. The President can stand it, but it is difficult to see how the Grand Army of the Republic can survive this exhibition of bitter partisan feeling. It is one of the cardinal principles of the organization that politics shall bo rigidly ignored, and the prestige and usefulness of 0.

A. R. will be gone forever unless It condemns those who have brought disgrace upon it. Give Us Good Water. The necessity of providing a supply of water for the town of Bel Air is urgent and above every other consideration, and the Town Commissioners should at once take some steps in the matter.

They should consider how much the town could appropriate every year as a security against the destruction of properly by fire, and next ascertain how many of the citizens would use the water at specified rales. The County Commissioners could also with propriety be asked to make a suitable appropriation to supply the Court House and Jail and as a means of saving the county from the great loss which would ensue ifeither of these buildings were burned. A joint slock company might be formed by which the water works could be secured, and it could be ascertained in advance what profit there would lie on the capital stock. The Town Commissioners should lose no lime. Bel Air can not hope to ho much longer exempt from the fate that has befallen so many towns in Maryland.

After one-half or more of our beautiful town is laid waste hy fire it will be almost a mockery to begin to take precautionary measures. Besides the necessity of having an abundant supply of water iu case of fire, there is tho vitally important consideration of health. Nearly all of the wells in the town arc shallow and filled sometimes to the surface with water saturated with every conceivable impurity. The utmost pains arc taken by the Town Commissioners to secure the sanitary condition of the place, but the fact mentioned is beyond their control. If nothing can be done in the matter let us know it at once.

But at any rate nn effort to protect our properly and guard our health should he mode forthwith. Ezra Whitman, the well-known dealer in agricultural implements and proprietor of the Maryland Farmer, died in Baltimore city, on Wednesday, in tho 78th year of his age. He was a native of Massachusetts and removed to Baltimore in 1833 the municipal election in Annapolis, on Monday, the Democrats elected Dr. Abram Claude, Mayor; Counsellor, James Revell and four aldermen. The Republicans elected I two aldermen, one of whom isn colored man.

I i ForGovernor-Hon Henry Farnandls Wo are gratified to find that Hie name of our distinguished fellow citizen, Hon. Henry i D. Farnamlis, lias beta hi ought forward i prominently in connection with the Demoj cratic nomination fur Governor It is well known that he does not seek Hie Governorship or any other public office, lint we believe he would lie thoroughly acceptable to the Democracy of Hie whole Stale and would 1 have no opposition in Hie Convention. His triumphant election would follow, us a mat- ter of course. i Mr.

Farnandis lias earned this mark I of respect at the hands of the Democrats of Maryland. No man in the Stale has labored i more earnestly and efficiently, during the past twenty years, (or Hie success of the i parly. In every campaign within that period i he lias taken an active jiart, not only ns man of the Democratic Executive Committee i of Harford comity, hut os a member of (he Democratic Slate Central Committee. His I talents and his influence have always been given to the cause freely whenever the parly has needed his services. He is therefore en, titled to the highest honors the Democratic party in Maryland could bestow on him.

In asking lor his nomination Mr. Farnan. dis's friends do uot rest their claims entirely 5 upon Hie value of his services to the Demo. cratic parly through a long series of years, hat upon the ground, also, of pre-eminent fitness for the exalted position of Governor of IhelSlalc of Maryland. His ability, his tin, tarnished honor and integrity, his experience i in public affairs, his popularity and his Hon to Democratic principles all combine to make him the candidate above all others who i could unite the Democracy of the Stale and i lead them to victory.

His elevation to the Governorship, unsought us it would be by himself, wonld he a fit rounding out of a life i of unselfish devotion to Democratic principles and of usefulness to the party, i After having labored so zealously for Hie 1 party Mr. Farnandis ought to he willing to gratify his political associates by permitting i them to use his name as a candidate, and i every proper influence should he brought to bear upon him to accept the honor which we believe the Democratic parly of the Slate are not only willing hut anxious to bestow upon him. The Fnlcnster Whent Swindle. Farmers have been victimized so often hy lers of prolific oats, wheat, anil induced to sign contracts, apparently favorable, which I turn out in the end to be promissory notes, that one would suppose the dodge was by this time exhausted. This does not appear to be the case, as will be learned from the following letter from Mr.

J. H. Emmord, of Perrymans To the Editor of The and Intelligencer Dent Sin; I would suggest that you warn farmers through your paper, in regard to Hie transactions of a stranger who Is selling seed wheat. 11 is manner of doing business Is this: He opproaches farmer and tells him he has a new seed wheat, called the Fulcaster, which is a cross of tho Fullz and the old Lancaster Red, and originated by Messrs. Scbindel dt of i Hagerstown, Md.

It Is very productive and In other ways meritorious. (So far he tells a true story.) He wants this farmer to put in 10 or 30 1 acres for him and will pay him next year, when he threshes, per bushel for all that he raises. He will furnish the seed in September at per 1 bushel, so that although the seed costs til) or SIS I more per acre, yet he gets tl per bushel more for his wheat (or or more per acre, possibly according to yield Also, he does not ask the farmer to pay for the seed this fall I but will take it out next year when ho buys the farmer's wheat. Now, could you imagine anything more liberal? All that the farmer has to do is to sign the thereby hangs the talc. This contract looks innocent enough, but the chances are 99 out of 100 that in a short while this former will get a paper from bank, stating such andsuch a i These notes being shaved, arc in the hands of innocent or third parties and he paid.

Now the moral of all this la: Don't sign any thing for Grangers." Very truly, yours, J. H. Emmouo. Mr. Emmord wrote to Messrs.

Scbindel the originators of the Fulcaster wheat, and encloses us their reply. They are selling tills wheat at per bushel, In car-load lots, whereas the Porrymansvillc stranger asks per bushel. Messrs. Scbindel Co. add know of parties who signed similar contracts last season, the contracts turning out to be notes and have had to pay them.

We think farmers better use a little common sense and judgment before Ibcy sign any contracts from Hey. Dr. McGlynn Excommunicated. The formal edict of Archbishop Corrigan excommunicating Rev. Dr.

Edward McGlynn from the Roman Catholic Church has been published. It had been expected for a long time but the delay in issuing it gave rise to the belief that it would never come. Ry this decree Dr. McGlynn is not only cut off from the communion of tbe church, from its sacraments and participation in its prayers, but should be persevere in bis contumacy be will be deprived of Hie right after death of Christian burial according to Hie ceremonies of the church of which bo was once a priest. Dr.

McGlynu's case is a notable one. His excommunication lias been ordered because having taught iu regard to the right of property iu laud which were condemned by his cburcli he refused to appear before the Pope and explain Ills comluct and stand a trial. Excommunication is the severest form of ecclesiastical censure, and Dr. McGlynn must he a brave man, indeed, to have persevered in a course which a knowledge of tho history of his church taught him could have hut this result. And this, too, to uphold a doctrine opposed by Hie Christian Church from the product of recent timesthe outcome of the teacldugs of men wiio proclaim that there is no God.

Dr. McGlynn appears to have been a devoted and popular pastor and with many of his communion he is regarded as a martyr. He has a large personal following, but it remains to he seen whether or not, defying and contemning the power of the church of Rome he will be as successful ns a political leader as he was as a priest. J. Ilatvcy, chief of a division in the Second Controller's office, at Washington, has been arrested for forgeries amounting to $9,300.

The defaulter had prepared his papers to forge accounts amounting to $53,800, and the only thing that prevented him from realizing the sum was Hie delay of Congress in making Hie appropriation. It certainly would have been made but for the detectiou of steal, because it is a portion of the deficiency appropriation. After being confronted with the evidences of Ids crime, the wretched man broke down and confessed all. The penally is fine or ten years imprisonment, or both in each case, and there are a hundred cases or more. Cleveland took part, on Wednesday, in a centennial celebration at Hie little town of Clinton, N.

where he went to school. He made pleasant addresses. It is remarkably fortunate for Sir. Cleveland that he always says the right thing, and in this, as much as anything else, shows his cleverness. Without apparently doing anything to secure his renorainatlon lie is bringing it about in away that must confound his adversaries.

Taylor, of Philadelphia, on Thursday of last week visited Bel Air, and made an examination of the various sources from 1 which it was believed a supply of water could bo obtained for the town of Bel Air. The best and most available source he found to be Run, but there might be some difficulty in diverting any portion of the stream, on ac I count of possible injury to the mills farther down the stream. Col. Taylor suggested that the gauge of the How of water in the stream on Dr. £.

Hall place be taken, at about its minimum, and said that the supply 1 generally estimated to be necessary is 30 gallons of water per day for each inhabitant. This would include all that would be needed for sprinkling the streets, Ac. He pointed out several eminences which would bo suitable for a storage tank holding about 100,000 gallons. The probable cost of the engine, boiler honse, storage tank, mains, Col. Taylor thought would not exceed 112,000.

The mains, I he suggested, should he six inches in diameter on the principal streets. The plan usually pursued is to pump the waterdirectly from the stream into the main supply When these are filled the oveiflow goes into the storage tank. In case of fire the water is drawn directly from the stream. The storage tank is to be used chiefly when repairs to the engine or works are needed. Col.

Taylor has had much practical experience In const Hiding water works, having (milt those nl Havre de Grace, Westminster, Easton ami more recently at Chattanooga. He is preparing to build water works at Moorestown, N. He thinks there arc no i insuperable obstacles in the way of supplying Bel Air with an abundance of pure water at a moderate cost. 4 Death of John John Scott, a wide; ly known preacher of the Society of Friends, died at Oakland, California, on the 9lh instant, iin the Will year of Ids age.

John Scott married Elizabeth Llttig, of Balti- December ISth, 1827,. which was the year of the Hicksile separation in the Friends' Society.

Their wedding trip was by stage from Baltimore to Washington, and occupied two days. Now the trip is made in 40 minutes. They attended a levee of President Adams and were presented to his Ex. ccilency by Col. Little.

In 1876 he was sent North Carolina to reorganize the schools which had been closed during the war, and was afterwards commissioned with funds to bo used at his discretion for the relief of destitute Friends.

Christopher Hughes in the lead carrying a banner. They formed a soml-clrclo around the altar, and sang an appropriate hymn. Then followed prayer by the paslor. The other exorcises consisted or singing, reading and recitations by the children. A pleasing feature of the occasion was the reading of a piece entitled Man at the Poor by Miss Carrie Osborn, daughter of Mr.

Wm.H. Osborn, of Bel Air. Miss Osborn read it in a most graceful manner and with touching effect. Every one, in fact, performed his or her part well. Miss Clara Mount presided at the The church was beautifully decorated with flowers and ferns.

A largo arch of evergreens, extending from one side of the pulpit totho other, was variegated with roses and other flowi ers of every color. An instructive and appropriate address was delivered by Rev. Mr. Smith- It was in all respects a grand affair. Mrs.
