The virtue and intelligence of the peo-
pie is the basis of our republican institu-
tions. The census tells us that there are
$4,000 illiterate voters in Maryland, not
withstanding the counties, under the school
law, are required to be laid off into school
districts not more than four miles square,
and a school house is directed to be built
as near as may be in the centre OF each dis
trict The public schools are supportedby
a tax of ten cents on the 500 worth OF
property; by the dividend from the Wash
ington branch Of the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad; by the interest arising from the
investment of the surplus money received
some years ago from the federal treasury
and one or two other sources; and the
county commissioners are required to levy
am additional ten cents or more If necessary,
so that neither poverty nor distance can be
pleaded for illiteracy In this state. The
great number of uneducated people, report
ed by the census, must be largely composed
of the freedmen, but as ample provision
has been made for the education of their
children, the relative number of illiterate
persons must necessarily rapidly diminish.
Education is the foster-mother of virtue
and intelligence, education Of the moral

Westminster-Annapolis.

The citizens of Westminster and Annapolis
celebrated Easter Monday with trade displays,
a la Baltimore Oriole, and fantastic parades.
The affair at Westminster was pronounced a
grand success, there being thousands of the
citizens of Carroll county and from elsewhere
crowded into the city. The trades display
was pronounced very fine, and the fantastic
portion grotesque and amusing. 1t is stated
that there were insufficient preparations for
feeding the crowd, ndthere were, consequent
ly, considerable cravings at the human bread
basket among the crowd.
The display at Annapolis was pronounced a
failure, not more than from 800 to 400 persons
going to the Ancient City. Complaint was
made that the Naval Academy officers and
middies were to aesthetic in their tastes as
none of them took any part in it. 1t is com
planned too, that Gov, Hamilton did not give
It any countenance, though the professions
solemnly proeessed around the Gubernatorial
pile, and the only thing discovered was that
the family washing was being done, which
was rather undignifed to be sure. The
trades display and "fantasticals' were poor
affairs, and from what the correspondents say
the juice did not pay for the Squeezing
MARYLAND Journal.

Mr. Charles Z. Smith, editor of the
Philadelphia Press, in an editorial letter to
that paper from Washington quotes ex-
Senator Roscoe Conkling as saying, in his
piquant and caustic style, Il have but one
annoyance in connection with Arthur's adj
ministration, and that is that in contrast
with it the administration of Hayes becomes
respectable, if not heroic Mr.. Smith adds
his disgust at the composition of President
Arthurs cabinet which he declares ''never
represented Republican sentiment, and since
the election of last fall it has been trav-
esty of council and leadership. 1t is in
capable of originating or grasping broad
political policy. 1t is impotent to quicken
and inspire the Republican party with new
energy or even to catch the reawakened
spirit which springs from the Republican
masses 1t would be hard for Demo-
cratic journal to say more against the Re
publican cabinet.

publican party, and declaring that they
twill hereafter support no man or set Of
men, let them be ever so Republican or
Democratic, who will not give recognition

A writer in a Washington paper com
plains that the Signal Service has been
very unreliable of late, and notes eight
misses of importance in the month of March
alone, besides some Of lesser degree.
The writer, if he had kept record Of the
predictions and the weather, might have
gone back three months and shown that
since the first of January the weather bull
letins put out by the Signal Service, and
the weather, have very often not tailed.
In fact the predictions have so often missed
of late that very little reliance is placed
upon them. The Signal Service is quite
an expensive institution, for one so unreli-
able, and the head of it must be very in
competent Vennor predicts, with much
greater accuracy, six months in advance.
The Signal Service rarely ventures to fore
tell more than forty-eight hours in the
future 1t would be well to dismiss the
Bureau and employ Vennor We could
then place reliance on the predictions, and
have less expensive service.
