The splints aud bandages that have been ad-
justed to the rickety old high-school building
fall to impress the patrons OF the school with
the idea of security intended by the board
There is a decidedly panicky feeling among the
scholars themselves. and iJ isn't likely that
many OF them will enter the ramshackle old
building when the schoOl-bell rings in Sep.em-
Der. The two architects, Messrs. Bohlen and
Daegett, who were employed to inspect the
building and give professional opinion as to its
stability have TINS far failed to do so. 1t is I'M
derstOod they do not care TO hazard their repu-
tatiOn thereby. The assurance should be given
without doubt or qualification that the build
ing Is thoroughly secure, and until that is done
u should remain tenantless.

A VERY LOOSE GAME.


AS an exhibition of fine ball playing the game
between the Indianapolis and vincennes clubs
yesterday was hardly success. The Indian
apolis boys detract greatly from the pleas
ure OF the spectators by letting down and al
lowing themselves to be careless when they
have an easy game in their hands Although
they defeated their opponents Dy IS to 8 yes
terday afternoon, the score might have been
twice as large, but for the stupid base
running OF Veach, Donnelly and Peoples and
the loose fielding of two three of the nine.

The same clubs play again to-day. OF yester-

REPUBLICANS IN CoUNcIL.-We are
indebted to the Baltimore Daily Sun,
Of the 10th instant, for the following
account Of and comments upon the
meeting of the Maryland Republican
State Central Committee. st. Mary's
was represented by Mr.. George @.
Maddox:
Mr.. Henry Stockbridge, chairman,
at the opening congratulated the re-
publican party upon the favorable
outlook for victory in Maryland this
fall. He counseled prudence and har-
mony in the deliberations Of the Com
mittee. Messrs. Henry Lingenfelder,
of Baltimofe city, and w. II. A. Ham
ilton, of Hagerstown,. were the secre-
taries.
The session lasted two hours, with
closed doors. Resolutions offered by
Gen. Adam z. King arranging for a
State nominating convention were
adopted, after debate, as follows:
Resolved. That republican State
convention be held in Baltimore on
September q to nominate a candi-
date for Governor, comptroller and
attorney general.
THAT primary meeksBgs and coun-
BY conventions be held in each coun-
ty to elect delegates to said State
convention, and also to select mem
bers for a new State central commit.
tee; said primary elections and coun-
ty conventions to be held at such
places and at such hours and under
such rules as may be prescribed by
the several county committees, or the
members of the State central commit
tee in counties that have no local
committees, or where the local COM
mittees refuse to act.
THAT primary elections and legis-
lative district conventions be held in
each Of the three legislative districts
of Baltimore city prior TO September
q. to elect delegates to. the State con-
vention and to select members for q
new State central committee, and
that the hours, as we'll as the places
Of meeting Of said legislative district
conventions, rs also all places for the
conduct of the primary elections. be
left with the city members of the
State central committee and the MEM
bers Of the city executive committee
jointly. or as q majority of them to-
gethef may agree upon.
The provisions in these resolutions
giving the control Of the party ma
chinery in Baltimore to the 81 city
members of the State central commit
tee and the q members who compose
the city executive committee is half
way concession TO Baltimore. In the
counties. the county committees con-
troll their machinery, and have done

trail committee meeting held two years
ago the control ia this city was given
entirely to the "a members Of thu
State body. These q appointed .

chine 20 well for the stalwart side
that the other wing was beaten out
Of sight, and ~ delegates Of the win
ming stripe were sent to the State
convention thea held at Cambridge.

Of the expenses 81 the I.egislature-
these are some Of the fruiEa of he ses-
sion Of 1882
But they fall far short Of what the
reforming sentiment Of the State de-
mands. The primary election Law
needs improvement. Bribery, violence
and fraud At the polls need TO be bet
ter guarded against. a. also the az
sessment Of ofhceholders and the ex-
istence and practices Of lobbyists.
''To get rid Of the gnats and flies a.
well a. Of the hornets and leeches,
the Governor urges upon the party
the propriety Of lessening the amount
Of patronage il has TO bestow. Among
the Offices which. the Governor thinks
may be abolished without loss to the
efficiency Of the public service are
the following: "The Office Of tax
commissioner, 80 made Office" created
in 1873 the Office Of insurance CON-
missioner. the land Office, one Of the
Offices Of fish Commissioners, the Offices
Of weighers Of grain and weighers Of
hay. The oyster service requires rad
ical revision; much more the tobacco
service. Compulsory inspection should
be abolished, and the ''malign touch
Of machine politics" be removed from
the conduct Of the warehousing sys-
TEN. The canal service also demands
the application Of "the exact princi-
Piles Of ciyil-service reform. The
Legislature should cease to appoint
to Office should make laws and not
seek 10 administer or execute them
much less should "that trinity Of po-
itical power" the board Of public
works, consisting Of the Governor,
comptroller and treasurer. possess the
power Of appointing to Office. at is
the patent device Of political mana
gers for personal aims and ends, and
as sucn has produced It's Legitimate
fruit of disorder, ineficiency, discon-
tent and distrust." Nor should the
judiciary be burdened with the APP
pointment Of school commissioners.
Evils are mentioned in the conduct
Of legislation which need correction
such as keeping back the general ap-
propiation bill so that the executive
shall not.before the close of the ses-
sion have opportunity to veto objec.
tionable private claims improperly
included in it. The power to veto OF
'non-concur in distinct items Of ap.
preparations" it is suggested, should
be accorded to the executive. In
concluding his outspoken and sugges-
tive paper the Governor, after re.
counting the vast improvement made
in the financial status of the State
since 1879, declares that "these en-.
couraging results present the hope
full promise of a speedy redemption
from debt and from State taxation.
To the political movements now go
ing on in the State he makes no al
fusion, unless allusion to them is con
tanned in bis exhortation to the party
to danish intrigue" and to insist OF
fair primaries and fair conventions
at the same time remaining ''free from
all pledges but for the good of tn,
cause, the State and the people"

According to the census mOrtuary
returns now in the hands of the prin-
ter, more people die in New England
Of extreme old age than than in any
other part Of the country. It is not
unusual for persons to live to and
beyond 100 years in that land Of pure

more deaths from malariaI diseases
in mountain regions than along the
river and gulf lines, strange as it may
seem.
