EDIToRs OF THE BEACON MIR.
r. N. Holmes condescends 10 submit the
controversy in which he has engaged in
reference 10 st. Johns College to ''the
unbiased consideration OF the public"
Nov, il dad not know the redoubtsble
quixotism Of The gentlemen, ! should
just think be was begging this whole
question, and just hoped in that way to
escape the difficulty ofhis bIundef. Be-
sides, Ishould be sorry--in fact il would
q deplorable sight--to see man like
Mr.. Holmes give over in an affair OF
such little moment, and hear him cry
out, from a food ofbewildering despair,
al will be drowned, nobody shall save
me" But had hopeS, before be should
subside into silence, that he would have
gwen at least one good reason for his
hostility to the college one good argu-
ment in reply to what has been offered
as ground Tor its maintenance by the
State. He has done neither. In fact,
in his retiring article, he touched on
nothing of consequence pertaining TO
the subject. Whatever has been said
in that way, has come from other and |
fear equally untrustworthy sources
For, ii certainly is no answer TO say,
that the money necessary TO make st.
Johns College a useful institution OF
bennington that was my proposition
would be better expended il given to
The public schools or distributed among
the poor, as has been suggested. For,
granting the proposition a. true, - there
any one so silly a. to believe that any
money saved in the one direction would
ever be expended in the otheri ! i'm
agine not. But suppose il was. what

TOBACCO BUYKRs AND SHIPPERS
Believing that the complaint Of Tobac-
co buyers Of the nnfairness CT State ,In-
rpections was > mere pretexi, and that
their real object was to obtain contrOl
Of She Warehouses SO that the free stor-
sge which planters now have mightbede-
stroyed, thus enabling them :oget up the
same '.corners" in our tobacco products
that they do in our wheat, we have paid
little attention 10 the faror which has
been raised by them as 10 the unrelia-
biIhy and dishonesty Of samples isr-
nished under State Inspections. Al il
is likely, however, that this Juror gay
have prejudiced Maryland Tobacco in
German and other markets, we feel
gratified that the buyers and sellers of
Baltimore have come together and
agreed upon the following resolutions
RESOLVED, first, Impressed with The
vital importance to the interests of the
trade Of reliable samples Of tobacco. we
would respectfully request and strong
~ urge the inspectors oftobacco to give
from all hogsheads OF tobacco, not only
Ave bundles, according 10 the time-hon-
ored but not obligatory custom. but as
many bundles from as many different
breaks as may be necessary 20 repre-
sent the hogshead faithfully.
Resoired, second, As the sense of
your committee that the sellers Of to-
bacco should pledge themselves not to
sell any repacked tobacco without Civ
ing the name Of the owner Of such to-
bacco when demanded. And, more
over, believing the system OF repacking
legitImately conducted TO be a necessi-
ty in the market, il Is also the sense Of
your committee that the buyers should
pledge themselves not 10 discriminate
sgainstssuch tobacco fairly packed.
Res0lUsd, third, Thatas the law holds
the Inspector and his bond responsible
for the reliability Of the samples they
give out, the committee would urge
Spon the inspectors prompt settlement
OF all Just reclamations.
Resotued, That committee Olive be ap.
pointed 10 petition the Legislature 10 pass
an act appointing committee ofseven,
consisting Of two buyers, two sellers,
two inspectors, and one general dealer
TO constitute Court oil Arbitration, 10
whom oil claims for reclamations aris-
ing out Of differences on samples should
be referred, and that all awards made
by the Court should be paid out of The
warehouse fund.
This rs all very fine and proper, but
the. planter will discover before many
moons have elapsed. We predict, that
justice is not what the tobacco specula-
tor wants and that il is only a hollow
trace that has been made, the objective
point OF the latter being, now as before.
the control of The Tobacco Warehouses
andthe abolition of Tree storage.
