ES-As Cabinet builder the Baltimore Amer
lean is not much Of a success. For some days be-
fore the Inauguration it had special Washington
correspondent who took the trouble to nicely
arrange everything for the new President, but
when Mr.. Garfield settled down to work he knock
ed the Americans Cabinet higher than a kite
Of course everybody knew that Mr.. Blaine was to
be Secretary of State long before the Americans
correspondent told us about it, and all we're glad
that Mr.. Garfield had offered that important port
folio to him. We also knew and were much
pleased because there strong probability of
Robert Lincoln being made Secretary of War, but
further than that the AmeIican's Cabinet, with
perhaps one other exception, could not stand the
high winds of March 4th and fell to pieces with
suddenness which must have terribly shocked
"Common Sense" the fellow who did all his scrib-
bling in vain.

TS~A terrible railroad accident, the result of
sheer carelessness, occurred on the Baltimore and
Potomac railroad, short distance south of Severn
station and about fifteen miles from Baltimore, at
o'clock last Saturday afternoon, when an empty
train of passenger cars, bound south and drawn
by two engines, came into collision with an ex-
press train from Washington, containing EXPIRES
iden Hayes and family, military organization
from Cleveland, Ohio and large number of per-
sons who had attended the Inauguration. The
trains were running at about thirty miles an hour
and came together with terrific force just as they
were rounding a curve. The two-front cars Of the
Washington train were telescoped, killing j. W.
Young, a prominent merchant of Shamokin, Pa,
and John Oliver, of Washington, baggage master
thirty persons were wounded, some seriously,
among the latter II. Freeburn, engineer of the
south bound train, who died on Monday of this
week. The ex Presidents party occupied the two
hindmost cars of the train from Washington, and
whilst all were badly shaken up by the collision
none were seriously hurt Both Mr. and Mrs.
Hayes left their car and went to the assistance of
the wounded, Mrs. Hayes giving personal atten-
ton to those most badly injured. The engineer
of the Washington train John NJ. Unglaub) who
lives on the Falls road, in this county serious
ly though not fatally hurt. The accident was
caused by the carelessness of the conductor and
engineer of the south bound train, who received
written orders before leaving Union Depot to pro-
coed to Severn and wait there until the Washing
ton train passed. They did not obey the order
for some reason other, hence the accident All
the trains on the road were delayed for several
hours and persons who left. Washington between
and o'clock in the afternoon did not reach Bal
timore until nearly IL that night.
Another accident occurred on the above road at
$50 ON Wednesday afternoon of this week, near
Mount Winans, in this county, caused by land
slide. The train was thrown down an embank-
ment about twenty feet, killing the fireman, B. L.
McKeever, and slightly injurng tive or three other
persons. McKeever was fireman one of the
engines which collided at Severn the Saturday
previous, escaping unhurt.

THE NEW CABINET.

President Garfeld's Cabinet is, to some extent,
satisfaction. 1t is President Garfeld's Cabinet
and no ones else, except SO far as he desired to
make it such. 1t is strong because it possesses
ability; because it will be in the main harmonious
on all essential points of policy; because it is
unanimously satisfactory to the party and the
sive information and large experience and famil-
iarity with the needs of every branch of the Gov
eminent, can harmonic and appropriate its abil-
ty and executive capacity to the exigences of the
hour. Its immediate and unanimous confirmation
is indisputable evidence that the President dis
played the admirable tact of selecting set of Off
cial advisers eminently his own and at the same
time entirely free from objection for cause, and,
while perhaps some are not the first choice of
some persons whose wishes are entitled to consid-
eration yet mainly satisfactory to all sections and
shades of the Republican party.
The situation is this We have n President
with high order of ability and ripe experience,
an able Cabinet, backed by a strong, vigorous,
harmonious, united party. The Treasury, Inte-
rior and Postoffice Departments require industri-
ous patient, comprehensive executive ability, and
these occupied by gentlemen whose services
give ample proof that they will fill the bill with
credit The following compose the Cabinet:
Secretary Of State-James G. Blaine, of Maine.
Attorney General-Wayne MacVeagh, of Penn
sylvania
Secretary cfhe Treasury William Window, of
Minnesota.
Postmaster General-Thomas L. James, of New
York.
Iowa.
Secretary of MARRIOTT L. Lincoln, of Illinois.
Secretary of Nary-W. II. Hunt, of Louisiana.
Mr. Blaine is too well known to require COM
ment from u.s. He stands at the head of the Cab
met and represents very large portion of the Re-
publican party.
Mr.. MacVeagh represents the Independent Re-
publicans who protest against the domination Of
what is known as "machine politics" He is
scholarly, able and high toned, and will reflect
credit upon the appointing power.
Mr.. WINDOWS record and services justify the
cious management of the finances of the Nation.
Mr.. Kirkwood enjoys the merit of being ma
tive of Hartford county, Md. lie is sound law
yer, has been twice Governor of Iowa and has the
advantage of "a long service in both Houses of
Congress.
Mr. Lincoln is the son of exPresident Lincoln,
is a lawyer of fine ability, was an ardent Grant
man and will make very efficient Secretary Of
War.
Mr.. James represents the energy and native
talent that raises the poor boy to great man.
Like the President he has risen from humble sta
ton step by step to be Postmaster General of the
United States. He has been apprentice boy,
printer, inspector, wegher deputy collector of the
port of New York, and postmaster of New York,
and has risen from one to the other by the force
of merit-and his appointment wasasked for by
Gen. Grant.
Judge Hunt represents the native, Union Re-
publican element of the South as Secretary of the
Navy, and will bring rare judgment and skill to
the Department.

s-The Ellicott City Times, (Democratic) of
9th inst, although little late, pays the following
well-deserved mpiment to Hon. James A. Gary:
"The suggestion may come too late, and coming
from Democratic journal, perhaps Gen. Garfield
would have paid no attention to it if it had come
in time; but if he is really seeking Southern
gentlemen for his Cabinet we doubt if he could
make better selection than Hon. James A. Gary,
of this county. Mr.. Gary is among the best of
the representatives of that class of native South
ern Republicans, the appointment of one of whom
would be gratifying to the Southern people ire
speetiTe of party and graceful act on the part of
the new President

FIRST DISTRICT, March 9TH, 1881.
Messrs. Longnecker Bros. believing you to be
fair-minded and honorable gentlemen, always will
ing and ready to give both sides of every question
space in your valuable paper, write to drop a
few words in favor of our worthy School Commits
sioners, The present management of our schools
is much better in many ways than the preceding
one. l shall mention one. 1t WAS tho old rule
that permits for free pupils should be signed by
two of the three Trustees every term. This was
very great hardship to many of the parents and
particularly the poor widowed mothers who often
had to lose their precious time from sewing for
living, hunting up two of the Trustees for their
signatures. Now, thanks to the present School
Board, these signatures have to be procured only
once a year, and all who are too poor to pay for
the use Of books for their children arc not COM
PEELED, under the present school management, to
make their poverty and destitution known four
times year as formerly. This kind copsidera-
ton for parents unable to pay will shower bless
ings on the heads of the present School Commits
siOners. G..

Es- Railroad affairs took very singular turn
this week, putting an entirely new face upon mat
tiers relating to the Baltimore and Ohio, which
company, it was said and generally believed, had
purchased controlling interest in the Philadel-
phia, Wilmington and Ba fillmore road This
week, however it transpires that the Pennsylva-
MIA railroad company has slipped in ahead of the
b. o. and has really secured a controlling in
terest in the P. w. & B. road. This leaves the
B. 4 o. in more unenviable position than it has
ever been before

ES-The York Gazette is a little "off" as to
figures. In late issue of that paper dispatch
from St. Louis was published which read as fol-
lows:
Zone thousand cars of No. mixed corn, equal
to about 1,00O, zoo, 900 bushels, which have been
standing the track at East st. Louis for some
time, were sold on Saturday and to-day for ship
ment to Baltimore" &c.
One billion bushels in 1000 cars would mako
each car hold 900, 900 bushels One of two things
is very certain, viz, they either have very big
ears or very big liars out in st. Louis.

ANOTHER REMARKABLE SHOWING.
BAITIN0RF CouNTy March 7fh 1891

BALTIMORE COUNTY, March 18th, 1881.
Messrs. Editors In glancing over the "Sum-
mary of School Statistics" in the School Commits
sioners' report and comparing it with the falling
off of 1852 pupils during the year compared with
the increase of last year, there is another remark
able showing. While the number of white pupils
increased Only "a and the number of coored 14l,
the increase In the number OF school houses is re-
ported to be 10 and the increase in the numbeS of
teachers rs. Number of school houses in 1879 is
1853; number in 1880 is 1866; increase13. Num-
Der of teachers in 1879 is 2l1 number iR|fS50 is
236 increase %. Thus see, according to the
report, that an increase of whit and Al coored
pupils required - additional school houses and
25 additional teachers, but the written part of the
report does not show what districts received the
increased accommodations of school houses and
teachers. PATRON or THE SCHOOLS
