tba trne Etiu,car1ness'' of the Inspiration OF
1Public Schools" in the ADVOCATE, and OF
.sTheorem'' and ''Decido," in the SeMt'Het;
of last week, wherein they so toollshly ana
f1lselv expressed their restveness-
calling ND the blush of shame to the cheek vi
every intelligent and worthy teacher' lor
whom, doubtless without authority gwen 70
them by any respectable number OF SAID teach-
orc these gratuitous scribblers assume to
sneak-a laugh would roll over the hills OF
Carroll long and loud enough to awaken an
the snakes that occasionally appear TO the
wild and diseased imagination OF the poor
victim of alcohol or of the inveterate chinese
opium eaters-but stop! Does the latter rum :
Gus habit cause the apparent exhibition OF
sncb monstrous snakes to the diseased BRAIN
of its devotee? Let us consider. Possibly
the inioardnesS, like huge snake, Is creeping
into another victim or acisedcre!
But ''Public Schools" ''Theorem," and
''Decido,'' are unworthy OF much, or even OF
any. notice. Their fallacies are apparent;
their foolishness manifest; their object DIS
turbance: and their animus wickedness. Their
ultimate design evidently is, to spill the cream,
which. in their diseased imaginatons, is SO
sweet and abundant, as the froth they make
by stirring it so industriously shows, that they
are excessively eager to poke their long noses
into it.
If they can devise some means to force the
School Board to contract more debt to aug
ment the school fund for the benefit of these
a,osey creatures, and to scare the members
into an exertion of their ''infuence'' on trus-
tees to make them turn" certain imbecite
pretenders up instead of ''dO'cn;" and If
''changes' can be effected to suit the hopes
and interests of these scribblers against the
School Board and its present organization, so
that Theorem shall turn" up, and net
''do,cn,' from the chaos to be brought by
proposed changes in which chaos some
body is to learn the business so as to conduct
it in their interest, the ''Theorem' would
soon be demonstrated, and the issue which
''decido" tries to make would at once be
"decidOr' DEMONSTRATE.

COWpIeUCItStCG UUCt 4 ODutuI HISTORY o. me
United States, from the Discovery Of the
alexander II. Stephens.
The National Publishing Co. of Philadelphia,
Chicago st. Louis and Atlanta, have just issued
magnificent volume bearing the above title. This is
by far the most important historical publication that
has appeared in this country for many years. and is
destined to take rank as the standard History of
the United States" 1t is no dry mass of Details
bombastic effort to infame the national pride but
clear, vivid and brilliant narrative of the events of
our history from the discovery of the American
Continent to the present time 1t gives a most in
teresting account ofthe Indians of North America
from the time of the coming of the white men. The
voyages of Columbus; the explorations of the diff
ferent nations of Europe and the final conquest and
occupation of the land by England are told with
graphic power. Every step of colonial history
is traced with patient fidelity. The causes of our
great struggle for Independence are told with
logical force and ability unsurpassed in any other
work. Then follows clear and succinct account
the events of our history until the breaking out
of the Second War with England the long period of
peace, the Mexican War, and the great Civil War.
Mr. Stephens position Vice President of the Con-
federacy enables him to give the inner history of
that terrible conflict. The Reconstruction Measures
the Centennial of our Independence and the ad-
ministrations Of Grant, Hayes, Garfield and Arthur,
each receive ample and able treatment at the hands
of the author.
The great fame of the distinguished author o this
works a sufficient guarantee of the ability and
with which he has performed his task. Mr.
Stephens has enjoyed peculiar advantages which no
other historian of our country has possessed.
For almost halfa century he of the most
prominent Statesmen of America, and leader in
many of the events which he describes. He had
personal knowledge of the men who were the great
actors in our national drama, and of the secret
motives which inspired them. Mr.. Stephens
writes, not as partisan, but as Statesman, view
ing men and measures from a standpoint which
few historians ever reach-the standpoint of per-
Sonal knowledge, based upon profound conviction
and the keenest insight into human nature. He
tells his story in the most graphic and brilliant
manner, producing his last and greatest work.
the most valuable History of the United States that
has yet appeared-a History which is i'll all respects
worthy of the great fame of its author
1t is comprised in one royal octave volume of
nearly 1000 large double column pages, and illus
trated with over 800 fine engravings on steel and
wood, embracing battles and other historical
scenes portraits of the distinguished men of our
history views of our principal cities, etc. The
price is so low that all can afford to purchase q
copy. 1t is for sale by subscription only, and Mr..
J. II. Jeffrey who is the authorized agent for this
section is now canva ssing for it.

County Finances.

Four years ago, when the Democrats
appealed to the people for a continuance
of Democratic rule, the convention that
nominated the county ticket adopted the
following among other resolutions:
'1st. The nominees of this convention
for County Commissioners are pledged,
hereby, to reduce county expenditures and
county taxes to the smallest amounts COM
patible with the most economical county
administration.
How that pledge was redeemed is matter
of facts and figures.
When Mcssrs. Longwcll, Polk and War
ner took charge of affairs the county owed
debt of $64 ,709.61, as follows:
County certificates. S48,325.OO
Note due Union Nat. Bank. 100000
Due to Daniel Bush Estate. 100000
Due to Geo. W. Armacost... 10000
Overdrawn bank ACCOUNT. 4,784.61
S64, 709.61
This was the condition when the Com
missioners elected in 1879 came into Office.
There was no money in the treasury, and
nothing could be done for some months.
At the close of the fiscal year ending June
80, 1881, they had paid
To Union National Bank. 500. S5,000.O0
The oyerdraft in bank ........ 4,784.61
County certificates. 10000
Making total off,. ........ SlO,604,6l
At the close of the fiscal year ending
June 80, 1882, Col. Longwell had retired,
but Mr. Orendorff was worthy successor,
and the good management was continued.
By that time there had been paid on the
countys Indebtedness:
County certificates redeemed. $4,000
Note paid Union Nat. Bank. 100000
Paid Geo, w. Armacost. ...... 10000
Paid Daniel Rush estate. 10000
Making a total of............... $40, 1900
By June 30, 1888, there had been paid:
For redemption of county GER
.tifcates ..... 900. S4,605OO
To Daniel Bush estate ... 10000
Making total of e. S5,2O5O0
The floating debt has all been paid and
the rate of interest on county certificates
has been reduced from six to five per cent.
The debt of the county is now less than
the county's assets by more than $4,000.
All this has been accomplished without
any increase in the rate of taxation, and in
the meantime the affairs of the county have
been efficiently administered, roads kept
up, new ones opened, bridges built, &c.
This is but part of the record, and we
shall again refer to the subject That the
Democratic party has kept its promise to
the people is fully proven by the above
facts, and few years more of the same
economical management will relieve the
county of any debt whatever, and permit
considerable reduction in the tax-rate.
But for the building Of a number Of bridges
this year, and necessary expenses oceasioned
by the burning of the Jail, the levy would
have been forty-seven instead of forty-nine
cents on the 800 As it is, Carroll has
now levy sixteen cents lower than Fred
erick, the lowest taxed Republican county
in the state
For County Commissioners for the next
two years the Democrats present to the
voters of Carroll Messrs. David Stoner,
John N. Selby and Eli T. Bennett, whose
business capacity, prudence and Judgment
is sufficient guarantee that the excellent
management of the last four years will be
continued
