W e nave received, with the respects OF
j. II. Stickncy," the author, neat pamph-
let in advocacy of the adoption OF this
system in the State of Maryland. We
presume the author is from Massachusetts,
originally from the evident relish with
which he recalls the pleasant features of
this system as it exists in that State. We
have read this pamphlet with much pleas
ure and instruction and will be glad to
see the subject of which it treats discuss
ed by the public. There are many reasons
why we should look upon the system with
favor. Two of these might be sufficient
to mention, namely, the beneficial results
with which it has operated for upwards
of century in the New England States.
and for a shorter time elsewhere, and the
further fact that it is based upon the true
principle which should underie all GOV
ernment-Home Rule. There are many
other reasons besides these which would
make it worthy of our consideration.
Bv this system the counties are divided
into a number of towns or townships of
convenient size, just as we have them di-
vided now into election districts. though
of smaller and more compact form, or as
might be determined. Each Of the divis-
ions would have all the franchises of a
municipal corporation. with power to lay
taxes, regulate schools. roads and other
matters purely local. and. in short II con
duct their own affairs 10 suit themselves
as they might think most conducive to
their interest. without waiting for the
approval of the rest ot the county which
has no direct local interest in their mat
tiers. Thus, if one township thought
proper 10 make turnpikes out of its public
roads it would he at liberty 70 do 50 with
out the troublesome process of obtaining
the consent of the rest Of the county To he
taxed for this purpose. In short, it would
be governed as any other town 10y its duly
qualified voters. The system in opera
tion in the Eastern States is neither cum
berous nor expensive. Such measures rs
are proposed are acted upon in town
meetings OF which due notice is given,
and every voter is entitled TO bc heard
and thus takes an active part in the gov
ernment. \ Town Clerk and Selectmen
TO administer the government the town
ship are elected every year and they only
carry out the objects which the people
have previously determined upon. As We
have said, there is much in the system
which causes US 10 admire il. But the
very reasons which make il cIninently
suitable in the States wherein it has So
long been in use make it unfit for US. at
least at present. Whes administered by
an industrious and intelligent class of yo-
tiers, we can we'll imagine that it would act
well. but with the kind Of voters which the
18th Amendment has created in this coun-
" it would never answer. but would sure
ly in short time result in the bankrupt
CIV and utter ruin of the taxpayers
When the colored people understand that
their interests are indissolubly bound up
with those of the property holders, then
perhaps, but not until then, we will con
slider the propriety of the adoption of the
system here Until that time we should
unquestionably oppose it.

OH AS A DRESSING FOR WOUNDS
DIR. Joseph w. Howe has re-
Gently introduced at his hospital
ordinary sweet oil for the treat.
ment of all kinds of wounds. 1t
has several advantages over any
of the other dressings in use, and
apparently yields better results.
The advantages are, that it keeps
the air from the wound, and at
the same time is a grateful dress
ing to the patient. 1t also pro-
notes healthy granulations. The
mode of application varies with
the variety of wounds for which it
is intended. In necrosis, the cavity
is filled with the oil, and a lint tent
introduced. Every day the oils re-
newed. In one case of necrosis
OF the lower jaw this procedure
was had recourse to, and, shortly
after, the patient was attacked
with facial erysipelas, but strange
to say, the side OF the face which
had been operated upon was not
affected. In the incised wounds,
the edges are brought together,
and soaked in oil used es an exter-
nal dressing.

indispensable.
