Special Announcement.

A large proportion of the readers of
THE REPUBLICAN are farmers, many
of whom desire great deal more of
farming literature than we are able
to give in our limited space. TO ac-
commodate all such we have made
arrangements with the publishers of
the american Farmer to give it as a
premium for one year to every SUBJ
suriber of The REPUBLICAN now
one or more years In arrears, who Will
pay up their arrears and one year
in advance. The american Farmer
is large 16 page paper, published
at Fort Wayne, Ind, the subscrip-
ton price of which is 100 per year.
Every farmer in Garrett county
should avail himself of this mag
nificent offer.

A SURE SIaN.-Every established
local newspaper receives subscrip-
tions from large cities, which puzzle
the publishers, but which the New
York Times lately explained as fol-
lows "a wholesale merchant in this
city, who had become rich at the bust
ness, says his rule is, when he sells a
bill of goods on credit, to immediate
ly subscribe for the local paper of his
debtor. So long as his customer adj
vertised literally and vigorously, he
rested, but as soon as he began to
contract hisadyertising space, he took
the fact as evidence that there was
trouble ahead. and invariably went
for the debtor" Said he: "The man
who is too Door to.make his own bust
ness known is to poor to do business"
The withdrawal of an advertisement
is evidence of weakness that business
men are not slow to act upon.-Key-
ser Echo.

Therefore. Resolved, That in the
death Of our cherished young sister

The cash in the U. s. Treasury now
amounts. to over $3.50, 1000, 900. This
seems like a large amount of idle
capital, held only for the purpose of
protecting the paper currency. But
there is another factor that enters in
to this question that is of Importance
to the people. This large reserve is
the Wall streetspeculator's scarecrow,
and as long as it remains there no
other influence is needed to hold the
bulls and bears in check. Without
this restricting Influence it would be
possible to organize combination in
Wall street that would cost the peo-
pie more in a week than the entire
amount of the reserve. The reserve
is good thing to keep in the Federal
family Wheeling Journal.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 25. In 1866,
when the army was reorganized,
Frederick w. Benteen, who had been
in the service from 1861, rising from
a first lieutenant to the colonelcy of
the One hundred and thirty-eigth in
fantry, was offered the appointment
of major in the Ninth Cavalry. The
army being largely cut down, it was
not possible to retain all the officers
in the service, or to give to those re-
tanned the same rank they had pre-
viously held. Col. Benteen was offer
ed the majorality of the Ninth Caval-
ry, which was composed entirely of
colored troops, but he declined 1t not
caring to hold commission in col
ored regiment. In preference to TAX
ing this he accepted the low grade of
captain in white regiment, the Sew
enth Cavalry.
Captain Benteen served nearly sey-
enteen years before his turn came to
be promoted to major, and singular,
ly enough tie vacancy occurred in
the Ninth Cavalry, colored, and was
the identical rosition he had declin-
ed in 1866. and which, if he had &C
cepted would by this time have adj
vanced him to the rank of lieutenant
colonel. Thus it was that ne allow
ed his prejudice to control his action,
and now, seventeen years later, he
finds himself placed in the identical
position which he would not consent
to accept. Not only has he not gain.
ed anything by the course he pursued
but he has been deprived of over
$500 year. amounting to over S.
900, the difference between the pay
of a major and captain. This very
singular case has been the subject of
general talk among army officers.

OFFICE OF THE
BOARD COUNTY SCHOOL COMMISSIONERS,
OAKLAND, Md, Nov. 9Th, 1888.

The above report shows there has been no
increase in the number of Schools during the
past year, and from this fact, the conclusion
might be drawn, that no additional Schools
were required. The truth is, however, that
could the School Commissioners have grant
ed the very urgent demands made upon them
for new school houses and new school dis.
tricts, Garrett county would today have at
least one hundred Schools.
The amountappropriated by State and coun-
ty is insufficient for the support of the Schools
now recognized, and until something is done
to relieve the financial embarrassment under
which the Board now labors, there seems but
little reason to look for any improvement in
the educational affairs of Garrett county. II
the money appropriated by the State for the
education of the children within her borders
was distributed upon anything like a fair ape
preparation, Garrett county Schools, with the
very liberal efforts the county herself has
made, would not to-day be languishing under
the heavy load ofindebtedness they are now
oppressed with. 1t would seem that there
must be some redress for this grievance. In
matter Of such vital Importance to the pres.
ent and future of our county. perhaps the at.
tention ofour representatives to the General
Assembly ernestly directed to this point,
might be productive ofsome good
