Public School system-Au Extra
ordinary Debate.

On Tuesday last, in the Convention, at
Annapolis, npon considering the Report of
the Committee on Education, discussion
sprang up. which for round, unqualified as
sumptions, on the part OF some of the speak
ers, unsustained by any evidence displayed
in the discussion itself, surpasses for reck.
lessness and folly anything we have ever met
with, as coming from members of body
claiming to be deliberate. The whole affair
was one sided, and the effort of each speaker
seemed to be to exceed others IN the bitter
ness exhibited toward the existing system
and its chief administrator, except when
delegates from Baltimore city stood up to
boast of their own city system, which they
falsely alleged the State system was intended
to destroy.
The meanness of the whole thing, was the
reference, by two or three of the speakers,
Mr. Howard, of this county, among them, ,
to the extraordinary expenditure of $50, 900
to print $4,000 copies of the Superinteud.
ents Report, and the failure of those who
knew, or ought to have known, the history
of that matter, to denounce it rs they should
have done,
This charge against the present system
was made either, in gross and disgracetul
ignorance of the subject they undert ook to
| criticise, or with deliberate purpose to tal,
sity and do wrong,
. The history of that matter is simply this !:
Mr.. Van Bokkelen, in submitting his report
| to the last session of the Legislature-two,
thirds of whom were the partisan friends and
| compatriots of the members of the Conven-
ton suggested the propriety of printing
$500. Mr.. Calvert, Of Prince George S
county, with whom the Superintendent con
lerred, advised an increase OF 1900 copies.
| making the whole number 5000. Mr.. Van
Bokkeen replied that it would be very diff
cult and expensive to disGibute so many
copies. Mr.. Calvert thought the members
| OF the Legislature would need large mum
Der for their own use, and the Superintend.
ent yielded
When the order for the 5000 copies was
introduced into the House, members from,
Baltimore city proposed and advocated an
increase to 25,o0o-2o,OO in English and
5000 in German. The folly and impro.
priety of such an expenditure stad the ac.
| ton Of the body for while, until some one
| suggested to the Printer that the order would
| not pass until champagne supper was given
1t is believed the supper came off, and the
-.In a. ~
to put money INTO the pocket of the partisan
Printer of the House and his secret partners
| in that body.
| The effort to use this reckless extrava
gance against the system is worthy of thu
men who have stopped to refer 10 it,
| We shall probably have occasion to max,
! further reference to the extraordinary apC
characteristic remarks of Mr.. Howard, il

said to have almost recovered from the DIES.
olations of the late war. Notwithstanding
the ravages of the many armies that passed
through it, and the almost total destruction
OF houses, fences and agricultural imple-

will probably have the finest and largest
wheat crop ever raised in that region. The
lower counties are filled up with Pennsyl,

all the farms they can get.

About the Early Fathers.

Those who are opposed to negro suffrage
are eternally Cabling about returning TO the
faith of " the early fathers" and maxine
our Government, as it was originally, " a
white mans Government And so long
has this loose talk been INDUCED in thai
many persons accept it without examination.
while all the time it has no shadow of truth
for foundation. Under the original Con
stitution of Maryland, adopted in 1915, the
elective franchise was limited by property
qualification only. All free men, whether
white or black, over 81 years of age, having
a freehold Of fifty acres Of land in the
county in which they offered to vote, were
entitled to the right of suffrage. There was
at that time no denial of suffrage on &C.
count of color. Neither was n man debar
red from holding Office by his being black.
The qualifications of aspirants for Office were
restricted somewhat But ifa man, as black
as the ace of spades, possessed freehold
Of lands and tenements, Of the value of a
thousand pounds, he could be Governor of
the State; while il he had property of anv
sort worth thousand pounds, he could be
a member of the Legislature. And so it
remained until 1906, when it was enacted.
that no slave manumitted under the act of
1888 should be entitled to the privilege of
voting at elections, Or of being elected, or
appointed to any office of prof or trust
The early fathers y had not at that time
advanced so far as to consider a black man
free prior to 1888 disqualified from voting or
holding Office. In 1910, however, when the
slaveocrats had got in the ascendant, they
obtained new light, and amended the Con.
stitution SO that every free white male citi
zen above II years of age, and no other.
should have the right to vote. And thus
the Constitution Of Maryland remains to the
present time, DISTINGUISHING one. fifth of tho
population Of the State. But we trust il
will not remain so much longer. The early
fathers, while slavery was in existence, had
a plausible reason, at least, for excluding
slaves and colored men from the ballot. how
but not till 1910 did they do so. And now
that Freedom is established throughout tho
land, why should we endeavor to disfran.
chise men on account of color? Away then
with senseless prejudice, and let us have
free man's--not q white man's-Goyern.
ment. Let us have Government that 10.
nores color and recognizes only men. Let
us with our increased knowledge and en-.
iarged experience, accept the faith of the
early fathers, and SO improve upon it that
we can frame Government securing all
rights to all men, by basing it upon the i'm.
mutable principles of Justice.

Comfort for COpperheads.

Our neighbor Of The Democrat who ap.
pears to be of hopeful disposition, gave
vent to his feelings last week in this WISE
Let the Conservatives of Maryland take heart The
danger Of our devoted State being engulphed in the
dark waves Of negro suffrage becomes less and less
least another year will eapse before the roll Of the wave
shall reach US. Stubborn resistance may fight it off
till then.
Now, if there isn't comfort in our neigh.
bor's lucubration it isn't our fault. Com.
fort to be sure there is. just think of
fighting of the dark waves for a whole
year, for twelve months, for fifty two weeks,
for 365 days. Isn't the thought that, "by
stubborn resistance they may be fought
of tor such a period, really refreshing!-
We trust the :! Conservatives of"Maryland, y
who we reckon are the chaps better known
as Copperheads, pW take heart. Why
shouldn't they? For whole year, our
neghbor thinks, negro suffrage in Mary
land may be postponed. The danger 'he.
comes less and less certainty each day. "
We therefore, advise our neighbor and
his Conservative friends to take heart" at
once, and if they are not there able 10 make

given such an opinion on the powers OF

gross should meet in July to remedy it.

HE WHEAT CRop.-The present promis.
ing appearance of the wheat crop is gratifv.
ing alike to consumers, who have to paw at
the rate of $l4 to SIG per barrel for their
Hour, and to farmers, who have for several
years past had short crops. The Aourishing
state OF the growing crop is topic of uni.
versal remark, and if the hopes of the peo.
pie are fulfilled it will no longer be scarce
in the land. The fly and the rust are We, to
be encountered, and they may prove TO be
formidable enemies. Yet even with this
disadvantage, which we may escape, there
is good ground for the belief that we shall
have cheaper bread. The grain market, in
view of the promising appearance of the
new crop, has recently been very dull, and
decline has taken place in prices. Specu.
lators, and indeed all holders of wheat, are
now putting their stock in the market, and
it necessarily has its effect upon the price.
A Chicago journal says that the losses on
grain during the past few months have been
unusually heavy, and the trade has become
so hazardous that bankers are unwilling to
make advances even on fair margins, unless
the borrowers are known to be responsible
beyond doubt. Some Of the farmers of this
county have been holding back their wheat
and corn ia TIE hope tbs. the prices would
be still higher,
