We trust that Mayor Bowen viii PROMPTLY

prevail Of their action last night in taking pos
Session Of the meeting at Union League Hall.
That meeting was called for Republicans who
favor organizing what is called a reform Repub-
fcan party for the coming municipal campaign,
and these corporation employees had no business
whatever to interfere with the meeting. They.
OF course, think a reform is not necessary, and
they have right TO that opinion, and to express
Ii OF all proper occasions; but those who think a
reicrm Is needed have quite certainly the right
70 express their views, and especially in a hall
ElrCd by themselves Our opinion is very
decided that the way to a reform of evils here
Is not in making fight against the municipal
administration, but in uniting all parties in the
effort to get an improved mode of District GOV
errrent, with enlarged powers. 1t is impossible
Her the most energetic municipal government
that can be selected to do much for the District
without thcs powers. We have seen how con-
tEUally Mayor Bowen has been crippled and
hampered in his administration by the
defects of our municipal system. What is
wanted beyond aught else Is a reform
Oh the vicious system, not a raid upon
the officials who are crippled by 1T. But while
holding this opinion, We hold at the same time
tLat this L tolerably free country, and that If
any Republicans wish to hold "reform meet
ihss and yentilate their own ideas they have
an undoubted right to do 50. And the CORPORA
ZION employees, n they are wise, or have any
prudent friends to advise them, will not under
take to suppress free speech again at the capi-

Reading Matter on Every Page.


We must protest against the disgraceful abuse
leveled by the Corporation contractors and
ward officials at Senator Hamlin, the originator
OF the plan Of Territorial form of government
Tor this District. At the late meetings every
cont actor, commissioner, scavenger and scav-
enger's striker has had scurrilous fling at Mr..
Hamlin's project 1t is natural that these
parties should wish to keep their fat pickings,
but they over-shoot the mark when they blindly
assail Mr.. Hamlin through his thoughtfully con-
sidered Territorial measure. Do these reckless
contractors and scavengers need to be told that
Senator Hamlin is one OF the most distinguished
and influential members Of the Republican
party in the country, that he wasvice President
OF the United States with President Lincoln.
and that he is now chairman Of the Senate Dis
trict Committee? Every consideration of policv.
TO say nothing Of propriety and courtesy, should
prompt the people of this District to treat gen.
tlemen Of his standing and influence with re-
spect, and especially when. as in this case he
has given time and patient elaboration to the
work Of devising measure best adapted, in his
opinion, to remedy the evils under which we are
suffering In this District. But the moment that
Plan Is announced 1t Is received with n
perfect howl of abuse and derision by the swarm
or ward politicians who see their occupation
gone, If it Is adopted. They shout Justify. and
with one voice, that the District doesn't need
any reorganization; that we don't want the
power to legislate for ourselves in District mat
ters' that We don't want a delegate in Congress;
and that everything is lovely here-or will be, If
they are only reelected next June.
After this can We expect members of Con-
gress, who ann to serve US, te give themselves
any trouble in our behalf? But we can assure
MIR. Hamlin that the placemen and ward politi-
ola n A.
upon his plan, represent no one but themselves
and VIC ask that the people of the city shall not
be held responsible for their reprehensible ac-
ton.

The contest for the Treasurership of Mary
land was decided yesterday. The committee of
the two branches OF the Legislature appointed
to count the second ballot taken ON Tuesday,
but not then counted, reported that Mr.. Merry
man had received 81 votes, Mr.. Fowler 80, Mr.
Nansant Is, and Mr.. Pannell 3. Mr. John Mer-
lyman, OF Baltimore county, was thereupon
declared duly elected State Treasurer of Mary-
land for two years, having received a ma jority
of all the votes cast. Both houses, consisting
jointly of Ill members, were fully represented,
and the entire vote was thrown i'm each. The
American refers to the vote as the ending of
the great fight Of Merryman VS.. Fowler, of
Bowie vs. Garrett, of the State of MARYLAND
against the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. ~
which has ragged tiercely for two years. As we
have explained heretofore, the selection of
the State Treasurer was important as con-
trolling the action of the Board OF Public
Works That Board consists of the Governor
Comptroller OF the Treasury and State reasurer
The reelection of Mr.. Fowler would have placed
the Governor iR the minority, and powerless i'm

State has the legal power to appoint directors:
authorizes it to represent the State in all meet
1ngs OF the stockholders of these corporations,
and makes it its duty to require the directors of

and to prevent the establishment of tolls dis
eliminating against the interests of the citizens
or the productions of the State. The American
says: =" To the extent that the success of Mr..
MeIryman may represent the triumph of the
friends Of free railroad law, and of the en-
eouragement Of liberal policy toward new
works of internal improvement, we rejoice over
it,"

an agent went to show him one. The
price was high L" But" said the buy
er, Il cannot build on the lot; there $
bluff forty feet high upon it, The lot
is useless "Do you see that ravine
lot down there % asked the agen.
Yes" Well, the man who owns
that lot will give you S. 900 for this
bluff to fill up his lot" This sounded
very well, and the buyer said be would
see. That day be went to the agent Of
the ravine lot and asked the price. He
was told, and the figure sounded high.
i" But you see, cannot build upon it
without putting the building upon stills
forty feet high" The agen, winked
lightly. "Do You see that bluff up
there he then asked yes"
+" Well, the owner of tina, lot will give
you $4,000 for the privilege of putting
his earth down here" The buyer
thought this sounded very we'll, but
