DEATH OF MARCUS DENIsoN.- On Tuesday
son -in-law, Chas. P Montague, in Baltimore
city, Marcus Denson, one of the solid citi-
zens of the State, departed this life. Mr..
Denison belonged to that type of true noble
men that is made of genuine worth and that
commands the respect of all classes of citizens.
He was born in Baltimore at the beginning of
the century and was consequently in the sew
enty fifth year of his age. An orphan at the
age of thirteen, he entered grocery store and
began life in filling one of the humblest sta
tions. His industry, strict integrity and close
attention to the interest of his employers won
for him their esteem and confidence. His rig
id application to his business and temperate
| and industrious habits enabled him to acquire
means enough to begin mercantile life in a
small way This he conducted with such sue
cess that he soon won a position among the
| foremost ranks as a merchant and citizen
He accumulated very large fortune and then
engaged in operations connected with the
leading enterprises of the State, becoming a
director in the B. & o. R. R. Company many
years ago. He witnessed the bombardTent Of
Fort McHenry in 1914, from the roof Of the
store where he was employed. He was mem
Der of the Legislature of 1860, and was a devo-
ted supporter of the Union cause. He was q
! benefcent citizen, fond and devoted parent
and an upright man.

w- Surely the fools are not all dead yet. One
would suppose that in times like these almost any
approach anywhere in the neighborhood of a rea-
sonable compensation. There can be no question
about the fact that there are at least five men will
ing to fll any vacancy that may occur and at less
wages than the man gets who has it. Yet in the
face of this we are told that the glass-blowers Of
Baltimore are about to give other folks than them
selves an opportunity to get work by making a
''strike" against reduction of ten per cent. Of
their wages. And some of the employees of the

GrQtifySnO.

We are gratifed that the B. & O. R. r. Com
pany is not the only great railway corporation
that proposes to make Baltimore city its great
terminal point. At a meeting of the directors Of
the N. @. R. R., held in the city of Baltimore,
on Saturday last, policy for the Penasy lvania
Central road, under whose supervision and con.
troll the first named road is run, was submitted.
That new line o: policy embraces two or three
propositions. The first is that Baltimore is to be
Railway and that improved terminal facilities are
to be provided. Second, that grain elevator
for the use and accommodation of the road is to
be built at Canton capable of holding fifteen hum
dred thousand bushels of grain. Third, that the
company's shops are to be removed from York,
Pa, to Baltimore, and that new depot build
ings are to be erected on the company's lot, at
the corner of Calvert and Centre streets, for the
accommodation of the companys officers. All
these things contribute to push Baltimore ahead
in her rivalry fer the chief commercial city Of the
Atlanticcoast. Wehave no doubt that Col. Scott
has been prompted somewhat to this course in
consequence of the short-sighted policy of the
Quaker City" towards the encouragement Of the
Pennsylvania Central Railroad He desired to
make Philadelphia the terminal depot and told
the city fathers if they would fill up the swamps
below the city, he would construct wharves upon
them on the Delaware where the freight could be
unloaded from the cars into vessels. They spuru-
ed the effer and now he is spuraing them and they
are regretting their folly. When two great rival
corrorations like tie B. b o. and N G. reads, hav-
the West make the same city their terminal
point that city has great future before it, if she
will make but proper use of her opportunities
The rivalry of these two roads for the trade of
| the West will do nobody any harm, will give
both roads plenty Of work and make Baltimore
brisk with the trade that the cargoes bring to her
warehouses and wharves. II the Delaware and
Chesapeake Canal, now contemplated, could be
completed at az early day, Baltimore, with a
judicious use of her chances, will be on the high
road towards becoming the chief commercial
mart of the American continent. A policy that
should encourage the enterprise of both roads is
the one that Batimore's interest dictates 10 her.
We trust she will not stand in her own light as
Philadelphia has stood in hers The workshops
are to be located at Mt. Vernon, in Baltimore
county, and will thus be an acquisition for the
county's advantage.

PUBLIC SCHOOL ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS will be
found extracts from the report of the School
Commissioners of Baltimore county. Educa-
ton is something that should interest every
man in the land, who cherishes any regard for
the welfare of his country and the future OF the
community in which he lives. The report
shows gratifying symptom in the increased
attendance of scholars in the schools the past
year over those of the previous year. This in
crease amounted to about fourteen hundred
scholars, or about fourteen per cent. of the en-
tire attendance. An increasing interest in the
schools, from whatever motive it may spring
will eventually result in advantages to the
system of public instruction.
Twenty five thousand dollars have been
spent in building and repairing school houses
and an indebtedness of the Board in conse-
quence of the erection of school buildings has
become so onerous that the Board has come to
the point where it becomes necessary, in their
opinion, to Suspend the schools for one term,
to work out of this debt or have an increase Of
taxation for the purpose, which latter PROPOSE
tion has been submitted to the County Com
missioners and by them rejected. Perhaps the
suspension for the Spring term may have a
salutary effect. If the people, after losing the
advantages of schools for one term in the year,
think them worth additional taxation, they
will doubtless so decide. This is the best way
to test the question.
