The MONUMENT AT FREDERICK.-Ow-
ing to lateness at which we received our
information last week, we were unable to
do more than simply notice the action of
the County Commissioners in the matter
of the proposed monument to the union
dead in Court Square, Frederick.
The following is the order as passed by
that body:
Ordered By the County Commissioners Of
Frederick County, That in accordance with
an application of a committee of soldiers
representing Reynolds post, No. 3, and a
committee of citizens, permission is here
by given to erect in the Court House Yard
monument in memory of the deceased
Union soldiers of Frederick county, that
said monument be erected by contribution
of the citizens and built under the dircc-
ton of this board, after the design of the
same shall have been approved by the
| Commissioners
While we approve of the act of the Com
missioners, requiring that the erection of
the monument he under the direction of
the board and that its sight in the public
square be also matter left to their choice,
we must demur at the last condition in the
above order.
As a rule, those elected to fill the Office
! of County Commissioners, are not chosen
for their proficiency in matters of art, but
the reverse, that of solid, unesthetic bust
ness, figures, not fancics and with all the
Difference imaginable and without any i'm
piicaton of unfitness to judge, we, cannot
see lin the language of an esteemed con-
Temporary lin the fitness Of things" the
proprety of our busincss-minded commits
sioners setting themselves up as connois-
senrs to become art judges Of final appeal
in the choice of design of the monument.
The people, probably to IL man, who will
contribute to the fund, are eminently sat
| istied with the business tact and energy Of
the present board of Commissioners, fully
recognizing their fitness for the position
and its duties, yet probably but few of
these same people would accept them as
authority in matters of art and would
necessarily feel less interested in the move
mcnt, than they would be- if assured that
the choice of design rested in the hands OF
body Of men, whose tastes had been ed
, ucated in the direction of art, rather than
finance.
We trust therefore that, for the good of
| the project. the Commissioners will recon
slider their order and, while retaining their
full share Of authority in the matter of To-
cation and care while building, they will
agree to relinquish to body ofmen, whose
may carry more weight with the people,
rs competent critics of a design of a mon
umcnt, than body of men, whose duties
are accepted as being to widely ditieren,

such radical raShness as to
throw the business Of the country
into panic to the end

the stoutest opponents of protective
taxation have never advocated such
sudden changes in fiscal laws as to
work injury to business interests.
There is plenty of work for congress
to do in revising and reforming the
laws. overhauling the whole list of
appropriations, reducing expenses
and throwing safeguards around

unto a debating school to discuss
for months tariff bill which would
speedily be slaughtered in the senate,
thus frittering away d session, is not
the first work in hand, nor the best
way for the lower house of congress
to make itself useful.

McDonald's Opinion of MIR. Carlisle,
the Tariff, and the Coming Cam
paign.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Dec 4.-Mr.
Mcdonald was interviewed today.
Upon the election Of Carlisle he said:
Il am greatly pleased ever the cleo
ton of Mr.. Carlisle He is safe
conservative man who does not hold
extreme views.
What is his position on the tariff
question:
He is i'll favor of tariff for reve-
nue. and in favor of such protection
as that tariff gives to the industries
of the country He is not in favor
of an immediate adoption of free
trade, but III favor of tariff reform,
the reform to be made without dam
aging the business of the country
Tariff for revenue with incidental
protection expresses it. There is no
question but that in reforming he
tariff there must be an accommoda
tion to the business of the country SO
/ that no disasters may follow
Mr. Carlisle's position is therefore
III accord with your own"
1t is.
Is it the position of the Western
democracy?'
1t is.
Is there any connection between
the election of Mr. Carlisle and the
democratic victories since lSS22"
Mr.. Carlisle's election is due to
the same causes that brought about
those victories
Then, if the democrats in 1884
should go into the presidential cam
palgn upon a platform in harmony
with Mr.. Carllsle's position on the
tariff, do you think they will VIM"
/ mo st certainly do.
What is Mr.. Carlisle's attitude on
the question of taxing liquor and
tobacco
He is in favor of maintaining the
taxes for the present,
What about the republican cry
that Mr.. Carlisle is southern MANI"
Il think the time is past for bring
ing into consideration of man s
worthiness for position the matter of
the section in which he may chance to
reside, more particularly when the
man IN question was union man
during the war, as Mr.. Carlisle was !"
The democrats have then thrown
down the gage of battle to the repub
licans on the tariff question:"
They have. That is TO say, the dem
ocrats are opposed to protection for
the sole purpose of protection.

ment."
