The hue and cry about Southern OUT
RACES palled upon the public car; tho ka
klux cry aud the bloody shirt fail toffighten
and arouse. Something else must DO de-
vised by the Radicals as an electioneering
expedient Hard money might serve, but
40, the Democrats were always for hard
money; that would not DO At last ii was
discovered that the pebble schools we're in
danger, and Grant made haste to sound
the alarm 10 his Des Moines speech, and
again in his message % Congress. Some
simple minded ones affected to believe that
his denomination was necessary for the
safety Of the country. But their views
have been repudiated, and the alleged
danger to the public schools wont frighten
the people into consenting TO third term
for the "sayior" Of the country What
nextg The navy must be mobilized, and
threatening musterof iron-clads to arouse
public sentiment and to iDfuse martial
spirit into the people, that the President
and his adhereuts might profit by it. But
that, too, has failed. The people are i'm
purturbable and unmoved What next
will be resorted to remains to be seen.
The country seems resolved to bring the
present misrule to an end, and radiealism
is in despair, Still, hope has not quite
failed, aud they are looking for the major
ity in the House to do something rash
during the present session, that will give
them some chance for an extension of
their term, and strengthen their grasp Of
power. This, too, viii fail them, and not
even war with Spain on account of Cuba,
which seems to be the only untried expe-
dent, will retain executive power in its
present hands. Thepeople want a change,
and it is sure to come as sure as comes the
ides Of next November.

Our British ancestors inaugurated every
important event by grand banquet
Sometimes it would precede it, and some
times follow, but banquet must accom-.
pany every important event. The custom
has been transplanted to this country. The
Centennial Commission needs million
and half of dollars, and grand excur-
sion aud banquet was arranged for the
President, Cabinet, and Members of Con-
gress, to the Centennial buildings in Phil
adelphia, which took place on Saturday
last. And now that appropriation will be
forthcoming when Congress reassembles
in January. We find in the Philadelphia
Ledger, the following account of the visit
and banquet;
The visit of the Senator's and Representa-
tives in Congress, the President Of the United
State, members Of the Cabinet, Chief Justice
and Associate Justices Of the Supreme Court,
Governors Of States, and other distinguished
gentlemen, to the Centennial Grounds, took
place on Saturday. After the party had in.
spected the various Centennial Buildings they
sat down to banquet in Horticultural hall.
Mr.. Bullitt presided, and, after the opening
address, proposed the first toast. 1.-THE Pres.
ident of the United States President Grant
was loudly cheered and called for, and res
ponded by bowling his acknowledgements. :
Addresses were then made BY Chief Justice
Waite, Senator Morton of Indiana, Represen.
tatiye John Hancock Of Texas, Governor
Bedle Of New Jersey, Representative c. II.
Harrison OF Illinois, ex-Speaker Blaine. Hon.
George Bancroft, Mr.. John Welsh and U. S.
Commissioner Hawley. At the conclusion
of General Hawley's remarks the guests from
Washington and Baltimore departed for those
cities. According to kilograms from Wash
ington the guests ofthe Centennial authorities,
on their return to that city, expressed them
selves much gratihed with the manner OF their
entertainment in Philadelphia, and said their
hopes Of the success Of the Centennial were
much strengthened by acquaintance with the
progress Of the work. Many members of
Congress who listened to the addresses at the
banquet promisedtos support the appropriation
asked for TO complete the great work, and
others privately expressed similar intentions;
SO that no doubt is felt that Congress willvote
the required million and half Of dollars.

MANCHESTER lTENs.--As Mr.. David II
Hotfacker, Of this place was crossing the
Short Line Railroad, near Mengises store, in
York county, Pa, about o. clock on FRIDAY
evening Of last week with load of turkeys,
the western bound passenger train run into
his wagon, knocked il from the track. threw
the horses away from the track and pitched
Mr.. H., on the ground, beside the horses.
he was somewhat stunned, but fortunately
escaped serious injury. Upon examination
he found the horses unhurt, but one wheel OF
the wagon was entirely demolished, the others
considerably damaged, and the bed, including
the seat on which he was sitting was smashed
to pieces. A few Of the turkeys were killed
some were crippled, and the rest were scat.
tered in every direction.
Mr.. H., was not aware that train was due
AT that time and he neither heard or saw it
until the horse was on the railroad, when the
engine coming around curve, revealed to
him his perious situation. The light coming
SO suddenly upon the horse caused him to
stop, and Mr.. Hoffackers utmost eudeavors
failed to get clear of the track before the
train came along at high speed, and striking
the wagon hurled it away with the results
above stated. The damage sustained is about
500.
The cold snap of last week formed ice about
FIVE inches thick, and quite a large quantity
was housed by hueksters and others who have
ice houses, on Monday and Tuesday of this
week.
The Mayor and Town Council have caused
several copies of the Ordinance prohibiting
the discharge of fire arms, rockets or Ere.
crackers within 100 yards of the streets and

IN town for warning to those who engage in
such sports.

FREuEaicg Axp CARRol1. CorSfY PUBilc
ScmooLs.--A letter from Frederick to the
Baltimore Sun, dated December Is. says -
.Jndge Lynch, OF the Circuit Court Of this
district, yesterday appointed the following
board of public school commissioners Of
Frederick county, from January 1, 1916
Jas, W. Pearre, Of Frederick; VIM. G. Baker,
Of Buckeystown; James W. Maxwell, Of
Emmi,tsburg; Henry Boyle, Of Liberty, and
Joseph Brown, Of Myersvile. The appoint.
ment Of an entire new board created no little
surprise, inasmueh as il was not anticipated
although not undesired Doubtless the action
was prompted in a measure at least by the
widespread dissatisfaction which has existed
for some time among our people, and to the
almost imperative demand for a more judici.
Gus management Of the public school affairs
Of the county. One of the principal com.
plants has been that the educational facilities
now afforded are not commensurate with the
amount of money expended. Eight or ten
years ago by disbursement Of about $40, 900,
the schools we're kept open until the latter
part of June. Now, without proportionate
increase in the number Of pulls, the expend-
lures closely approximate $4,000, aud the
schools are clio ed about the middle of April,
because Of the lack Of funds to continue them
longer. This matter has given many Of our
people much concern.
While Frederick county expends $4,000,
Carroll expends for School purposes only $751;
900, and there are but 30 more schools in
Frederick county than there are in Carroll
In addition to sustaining our schools on So,
600, the present School Board have, in the
past four years, paid off the sum of SIS, ono,
the Indebtedness of the former board, and
built II substantial brick school houses. We
think we have reason to be proud Of the
superior management Of the School Board Of
Carroll county, when compared with that OF
the Board in Frederick.
