THE ASSOCIATION OF PUBLIC SCHOOL
COMMISSIONERS.

TheAssociation of Public School Commissioners,
which will meet at the Normal School building,
Baltimore, on the 2Sth inst, was first organized
when the State public school system was establish
edunder the superintendency ofRev. DIR. Van Box
kelin. The DIR. has been acknowledged to be the
best educational organizer the State has ever had
being possessed in prominent degree OF all the
reouisites that combine to make efficient State
Superintendent. His trips through the counties
in his official capacity were followed by an enthu-
siam on the part of the people in educational
affairs that extorted praise even from those who
were prejudiced against him. man of his stamp
is greatly needed at the present time to infuse
fresh life into the cause of popular education.
Everything connected with the schools has fallen
into such dull routine that unless something is
done to awaken popular interest the whole system
will become unpopular. The School Commission
ers and Examiners, when they meet, should de-
vote the largest part of their session to discus
sion of this question and should recommend some
plan of action that would be likely to wake up the
people from the lethargy which seems to have
come over them.
A synopsis of the number of schools open dur
ing the year. the number of children attending, the
number of teachers employed, the total amount
expended in public education, and whether all
these greater less than in the preceding year.
are matters of far less consequence than report
on the actual educational work performed through
out the State and the amount of interest taken in
school affairs by the people generally. There has
been too much monotony and sameness in the an
nual meetings Of the public School Commissioners
and county Examiners. Let the approaching
session distinguish itself from its predecessors by
vigorous departure from the cut and dried course
which has hitherto characterized their proceedings.
Let them give to the public something that will
deserve and command the serious consideration OF
all the friends of public education. This respect
able body can wake up the people by waking up
themselves. VIII they do it?

ELECTIONS IN ANNE ARUNDEL.

Baltimore Herald.
Ballot box stuffing has become chronic in Anne
Arundel. 1t was the general impression that with
a reform Board of County Commissioners such
honest and intelligent judges would be appointed
as to insure fair election, but the public counted
without their host. In the 4th and Sth districts
the FOUNDERS appear to have stayed their hands
from very WEAKNESS or shame but from the old
Sd comes the annual story, first of colored inter
ference, and subsequently of preponderanee of
ballots over the names on the tally lists. There
were eighty-six more votes polled than there were
names on the lists. This is decided improve
ment over former years and there is hope that
after few more trials the Democrats of the Sd
district will learn that honesty is the best policy
The public has scarcely forgotten the memorable
vote in that district in 1875, when $50 colored
people were deluded by striped ticket and plump
ed $50 ballots into the box for the Democrats or,
at least, the latter said so when the matter was
brought to the attention of the Legislature. The
interference and obstruction of the colored teacher
on Tuesday was, perhaps, of similar character !;
at any rate, the confusion caused by the charge
gave ample opportunity for a resort to the old
tactics. A rush, a scrimmage, and while the
judges backs were turned to push back the lid of
the box and cram in a whole armful of tickets, was
but moments work. They overdid the business
after all. They worked like blacksmiths new to
their trade. They should never have allowed the
tickets in the box to outnumber the names on the
lists. This was a fatal error. 1t enabled one Re-
publican Judge who was fairly elected to obtain
. his commission Had they overturned the box
and cleared it of its contents and filled it accord
ing to the tally lists Judge Smith might not now
have been one of the Associate Judges in the Fifth
Circuit But they were partially successful. 1t
is believed by many that had there been fair
vote in the Sd district of Anne Arundel the whole
Republican Judicial ticket in the Fifth Circuit
would have been elected. The men who manip-
ulated the ballot in the Sd district have given an
unenviable reputation to the county and have
cast doubt upon the election of officers, whose
commissions should be as free from the faint OF
fraud as the emblematic ermine they supposed
to wear is pure and spotless.

Baltimore's New Postoface Building

The cornerstone of Baltimore citys new post.
Office building will be laid on Tuesday afternoon
next, Dist inst, with imposing ceremonies, and it
is expected that the President and members of the
Cabinet will be present. A very interesting pro-
gramme is being arranged, and it has been deci-
ded by the Masonic committee on arrangements
to have some fine vocal music by a select choir of
about twenty mixed voices. The United States
Marine Band will render the instrumental music.
There will also be five or six fine bands of music
in the procession. The several Communicates of
Knights Templar will turn out with full ranks,
and will undoubtedly make creditable display.
They will act as escort to the Grand Lodge, rep
resentatives of which body are expected to be
present from all parts of the State. The process
sion will form in front of the Masonic Temple at
2 o'clock in the afternoon and march by short
route to the postofice building, where the ceremo-
MES will commence at O'clock and will last
nearly two hours. The members of the Grand
Lodge will form in circle around the stone
Grand Master John S. Tyson will perform the
ceremonies according to the prescribed ritual for
such occasions and will be assisted by the Grand
Chaplain and other officers of the Grand Lodge
The stone will be tried with the level and plumb
and corn, wine and oil will be poured on it. The
Grand Master will spread the cement on the stone
with silver trowel, and it will be lowered into its
place on the foundation wall by motions, accord
ing to the mystic rite. A suitable address on the
history of the United States postal service and the
postofice of Baltimore will be delivered by Hon. j.
II. B. Latrobe, and brief addresses may also be
made by prominent officials. Superintendent
Brauns has had a large platform erected over the
north and east sides of the foundation the centre
of which has been left open to admit of the stone
being lowered ON the corner. Seats will be pro-
vded for about six hundred persons, and the fence
on the Lexington street side will be temporarily
removed, so that the crowd may have an oppor
tunity of witnessing the interesting exercises.

Maryland man, follows Maryland plans and
adopts Maryland ideas. When elected Comptrol.
Ter he came over to Baltimore and under the
tutelage of Mr.. Vansant was fully informed as to
the workings of his office. The Philadelphia de-
partment, modelled upon our system, proved so
efficient in its workings, principally by the eco
nomical administration of its affairs and the great
reduction of expenses made by Mr.. Pattison, that
this as much as anything else secured him his
nomination for the Gubernatorial chair. And now
doubtless remembering Mayor Kane's appoint
ment of the Rev. DR.. Poisa as private secretary,
Governor Pattison has appointed as his private
secretary the Rev. Thomas I. Everett, of the
Methodist Episcopal church, who voted for Lincoln,
Grant and Pattison.

@0n Monday last the Baltimore Sun made
its appearance in an enlarged form by lengthen-
ing the columns, making gain in space equiva-
lent to four and a-half columns. The improve
ment was made necessary en- account of the rapid
ly increasing business and circulation of the paper.
In addition to the enlargement the Sun Building
has been supplied with two of Hoes latest web
printing presses, new Corliss engines and new
sterotyping machinery, and an entire new outfit
of type, and the concern is of the most
complete and thoroughly equipped newspaper
establishments in the country. The friends of
The Sun-and there are thousands of them--are
greatly pleased to see this improvement and also
to notice that the new type which replaced the old
has larger and clearer face, causing the paper to
present better appearance and making it easier
to read. The Sun has accomplished two big
things recently, WIZ smashed the ring in the city
and made the extensive changes and improve
ments noted above. We congratulate the paper
and its highly respected proprietors on both.

@-The repetition of the story of the suffer-
ings of the officers and crew of the Inflated jean
nette, now being made public by means of the in
vestgation in progress at Washington, is likely to
have one good result at least. It will serve to
strip from the history of this unwarranted and I'M
necessary adventure whatever of romance may
have gathered around the idea of Arctic explora-
ton and disclose to the public the utter useless
ness of all such visionary projects in the future
There may possibly be northwest passage, but
it is perfectly safe to assume by this time that no
human being will ever explore it and that it would
be of no earthly use to mankind if he did. To
continue the further waste of life and money in a
cause in which there is neither honor, usefulness
nor profit to be obtained is the sheerest folly. 1t
is to be hoped that the current investig will
serve to put an end to all further attempts in this

are twenty-three counties in Maryland and at the
late election twelve of them we're carried by the
Republicans and eleven by the Democrats. 1t is
therefore more than likely that majority of the
county members in the next Legislature will be
Republicans, and Baltimore county may be able
10 contribute to this majority.
