"The address saws that, as there is oulv
one party to which the misrule and corrup-
ton that all complain of are to be ascribed,
so there is only one great national party
competent to overthrow it and to establish
correct principles and an honest admins
tration of affairs in its stead. We infer
from this that the authors of the address
have not examined the testimony in the
Credit Mobiler investigation or the vote on
the Salary Grab. The trouble is. that party
lines on this business of misrule and cor
ruption make dreadful zigzags, and that as
a general rule the proportion of Democrats
who have assisted in misrule and corrup-
tion is larger than that of their opponents.

THE MARYLAND PUBLIC sHCOOL LAW.

Some important alterations in the Public
School law were made by the last Legisla-
ture, which many ardent friends of public
education deem unwise, and which may re-
suit in defeating the object of the law to
considerable extent. The most important
of these changes is the fourth section of the
third chapter. The clause reads: "They"
(the State Board of Education) "shall enact
bylaws for the administration Of the Public
School System not at variance with this Act;
and shall have the power to suspend or
remove any examiner or teacher who may
be found inefficient in or incompetent for
the discharge of duties assigned him., &c.
In order to show the conflict of author
ity which this interpolated clause has ere
ated in the law it is only necessary to quote
part of section 5, chapter 4, entitled, Dr.
ties of the County School Commissioners.
Among the prescribed duties of the County
School Commissioners is the election of "a
person not member of the Board, who
shall serve as Secretary, Treasurer and
Examiner" These clauses, it will be seen,
have the elements of strife and dissatisfac-
ton 10 them to very dangerous degree.
While the County Board is given the sole
power of appointing the Examiner, the
State Board may remove him for causes
which they are the sole judges Of. The
State Board of Education consists of the
Governor, Principal of the State Normal
School, and four other persons selected
from among the Presidents and Examiners
of the several County Boards. The Gov
ernor of the State has two much other bus
mess on his hands to devote his time to the
Public Schools, and the four persons Sc
lected by him from the Examiners and
Presidents of the several School Boards
have very meagre opportunities of know
ing much about the Public schools beyond
their own counties; and thus the Principal
of the State Normal School being the act
ing man of the State Board, shapes the
policy and exercises almost exclusive con-
troll in the matter of the Public Schools,
consequently is in a position to exercise
almost unlimited powers over the schools
of the State. He may at will dismiss ex-
aminers and teachers, and make bylaws to
control every County Board in the State.
The power to dismiss officers at will, who
are and must be appointed by separate
and distinct power is one of the most dan
gerous conflicts of authority that can lie
devised, and the moment the State Board
or the acting member of that Board, the
Principal of the State Normal School at
tempts to exercise this dangerous preroga-
tive, clashing will commence in the sys-
tenn which it would be impossible to pre-
dict the consequences Of

The Latest Developments in the Child
Abduction Case.

The track of the kidnappers has proba-
bly, been struck, if any reliance can be
placed on the state ments contained in the
Allentown, Pa. Ne,os of Tuesday evening.
On Tuesday, July 7th, closed carriage,
drawn by two jaded horses, drew up in
front of tho First National Bank, in this
city, underneath which, in the basement,
is the barber shop of William Able, known
generally as "Fancy Bill" This was be-
tween nine and ten o'clock in the morning,
and from the carriage woman, a little
boy, and two men alighted.
The woman was very well dressed in
dark clothes and wore around her neck
heavy gold chain attached to watch in
her belt. She was fair complicated, tall,
slim, and had dark eyes and dark hair
One of the men was rather short and thick
SET and he remained outside with the
horses. The other man was TALL not heavy
and was noticeable for black eyes and black
hair.
The woman and the tall man entered the
barber shop with the child, and engaged
Mr.. Able to cut the little boys hair, which
was light in color and worn in long curls.
While the tonsorial operation proceeded
the woman talked to the boy and promised
him ice cream and candy as compensa
ton for his patiently submitting to the loss
of his curls, and mentioned the fact that
after the curls were cut off it would not
pull his hair SO much to comb it.
The demeanor of the boy was that of be-
wilderment, and he neither spoke, laughed,
nor cried, paying little heed to what was
said to him apparently. When the car
riage stopped in front of the bank build
ing the appearance of the strange horses
and carriage and the rather restless con,
duct of the parties excited the attention of
Mr.. Joseph Stotfiet, who was standing by,
and who took particular notice of the ap-
pearance of the boy, both before the par
ties entered the barber shop and after they
came out.
Comparing the child of this event with
the photographs since published of Charlie
Ross, Mr.. Stotfiet and Mr.. Able, the bar
Der, are confident in the identity of the
two. The parties entered their carriage
and drove off, nothing further being
thought Of the occurrence until later, when
the excitement connected with the Ross
abduction arose.
Having carefully pondered over what he
had seen, and after comparing his recollec-
ton of the boy at the barber shop with the
description and pictures of the abducted
Ross boy, Mr.. Stoffiet wrote to Philadel-
phia the other day, stating his belief that
he could furnish possible clue to the
mystery.
In response to this letter a member of
the Philadelphia detective force came to
this city last evening, and this morning he
and Mr.. Stotilet had an interview at the
Eagle Hotel, the result of which Mr.. Sto-
fflet, who kindly supplied our reporter
with the particulars as far as we have
above related, says had better not be pub
lished for the present.
There are clues to the carriage and par
ties after they left this city, which will be
followed up, and may or may not link to-
gether chain of circumstances that will
lead to the desired recovery.
