and, of course, the trustees are consulting
the best interests of the "orphans by OK

cr, ii docs not so appear to some of our peo-
pie who think it docs not thus realize as
much rs if sold at home in full view of the

ent for the trustees to come to Frostburg
as it is for a number Of buyers to 20 to
Cumberland. Ii, however, the latter can
not spare the time some Cumberland man
is enabled to purchase it may, hap, much
cheaper, so that the property is measure

All this without before abiding to adj

CONGRESS- has repealed the salary bill
passed the Sd of March, 1878, and placed
all salaries as they were previous to that
date, except the salary of the President
and Justices of the Supreme Court.
A Washington special says: A Senator
who was in conference with the President,
Tuesday, states that he will return to
Congress, without his signature, the bill
repeating the salary steal, accompanying it
with recommendation that it be reconsid-
cred, and an amendment added reducing
the pay of the Chief Executive to twenty
five thousand dollars year, he agreeing to
forego his constitutional right to the in
crease.
Should the President take such step it
would add very much to his popularity, as
people will remember that the law making
the increase received the approving sigma
ture Of the one to be benefited by it, only
twelve hours before this term began. I'm
der these circumstances it was certainly
bad taste if not violation Of the spirit of
the Constitution to sign it, but the excuse
for so doing was that a veto would
deprive the judges of an increase in salary
to which they we're entitled. Here now is
chance to give them their increase of sal
ary, and at the same time wipe out all the
obnoxious features of the "salary grab"
bill
