The Grand Army manages its own affairs
in its own way. 1t has a perfect right to
make such arrangements for the ceremonies
of Memorial Day, consistent with the occas-

President of the Day. Why it selects one
man rather than another, or changes its Gus
toms or methods in making a selection for
President, does not concern the city at-large.
Our citizens have no desire to dictate to it,
and are well satisfied with the selection re-

month more than $4,000 in property

The drought has borne very hard
upon the people of Crisfeld, and, in
deed, all through the adjoining coun-

have is caught in cisterns. The sup
ply was long since exhausted, and
water has been brought in barrels from
Princess Anne on the railroad at the
price of 25 cents per barrel for trans
portation. Last night, when it began
to rain, republican political meeting
