WHY WAS 1T DONE ?

We have learned that the old School Board,
just before retiring from Office, made arrangements
to have the school report for the year 1888 printed
If this information be correct, they departed from
the course pursued by them one year ago, and
which they found to be q saving to the school
fund of the county. Then they invited proposals
for printing the report and awarded the contract
to the lowest bidder, which happened to be the
publishers of TIE UNION. The fact is more sig
nifcant when it is known that the meeting of the
Board, at which the contract for printing the
report was awarded, was held on January Sd, 1888.
Common courtesy to the new School Board should
have suggested leaving this matter to them in
order to see whether even better terms might not
have been procured than those of one year ago.
1t may be, however, their fear that The UNION
might be the successful bidder, prevented
the old Board from transferring the printing of
the school report to the Board for its action.
We know we have animadverted upon what we
considered one-sided and partisan action of the
old School Board in awarding the book contract,
and we also presistently advocated minority rep:
resentation in the School Board which necessarily
carried with it change in its membership, and
this may have influenced the almost last official
act of the -iefunct School Board. If it be so, we
sincerely trust, and have every reason to believe,
the present School Board of Baltimore county will
not be governed by any such motives in any of
their official conduct.

was administered by Chief Judge Alvey, of the

ut formal duty for me is to deliver into your
possession the archives of the State In doing this
1 beg to express the sincere wish that every mea-
sure of success will attend upon your administra-
tion." To which Governor McLane replied: "I
am very much indebted to you, Governor, for your
kind wishes, and can only express the hope that
when retire shall possess, you do, the re-
speet of my fellow-citizens."

@-Intemperance of women is not as common
in this country as it is in England There in the
cities it is not unusual to see drunken women in
the streets. Here the sight is very rare. The
London Lancet, medical journal, says: at is
painful to see women almost rivaling men in the
public houses" Upon the same subject, the Tenn
perance Record remarks "The growth of female
intemperance is one of the most discouraging
features of our time. Recent judicial statistics
clearly show not only that there is greater pro-
portionate increase of drunkenness amongst wo-
men, but that in their case the habit is more in
veterate than in men,"

William Poplar, of Havre-d Grace, was
arrested in Baltimore some days ago on the charge
of palming himself off as deputy sheriff and
extorting SO from saloon keeper with the
promise that if he paid that amount he (Poplar)
would see that he was not reported to the Grand
Jury for violating the law against selling liquor
on Sunday. Poplar is the same man who was the
informer in the Havre-de Grace liquor cases, and
as soon as the States Attorney of Hartford learned
what he had been doing in the city he very wisely
tetted all the against the accused, who were
5 larged with selling liquor in violation of the
Aeption law of that county.

1t may be proper to state that the claim of Par
ker Scarborough for 81, 100 is now in litigation.
The undersigned, members of the Executive
Committee, respectfully report, that upon exam
ination of the books and accounts of the Com.
pany, they find its condition to be- on the 3lst of
December, 1888, as is set forth in the accompany
ing statement.
1t will be seen that the destruction of property
insured by this Company has for the past year
been very great, absorbing large amount of the
surplus remaining in its treasury. Fortunately
however, the Company has not been compelled
to levy contribution upon the members, nor is
it to be apprehended that any will have to be
made, provided prudence and caution is observed
by the directors in making insurances.
Owing to the heavy losses sustained by insur-
ing canning property and canned goods, and from
a. -, universal complaint of the members,
demand made by them that the Company
discontinue insuring said property, and
~ch risks should terminate on the first of Jan
uary, 1T became necessary that the Executive
Committee should act in the matter. Therefore,
at its meeting held on the 5th of November,
resolution was unanimously passed by those pres
sent that all such insurances should cease to be of
effect on the first day of January, 1884. and due
notice of their action was given through the
public prints.
1t is for the Company now to determine whether
to continue the rule of not insuring canning
property or canned goods, or to abrogate it and
authorize such insurances to be made. The ex-
ecutive Committee will, in reference to this mat
ter, merely state that, from information received
from many sources, it is confident that the large
majority of the members of the Company will be
greatly dissatisfied if the meeting, representing
the Company, should resolve to return to the in
suring of canning property and goods, and that
such action would undoubtedly lead to the with
drawal of very many of them from its member
ship.
1t is to be, whatever action this meeting may
take upon this question of whether canning
property and goods should be insured or not,
that it may be of such character as will give
satisfaction, if not to ALL at least to the great
bulk of its members so that this Company,
which has for upwards of the third of a century
afforded to the people of Hartford and Bati-
more counties safe and economical insurance
of their property, may continue its career of
usefulness, and not be crippled destroyed by
the adoption of measures which the majority of
its members will not sanction.
JOHN CARROLL WALSH,
TH0S. GORSUCH, of C.
The undersigned approved of the above report
with he exception of that portion referring to
the insurance of canning property and canned
goods.

A Partially Dead Man.

The Morning Herald, Baltimore, Md, states ::
Major B. S. White, of this city, describes his mrac
ulous cure as follows: II have been partially
dead man for ten years. Doctors attributed my
suferings to the enlargement of certain glands
The quantity of medicine I took without relief
would be sufficient to set up first-class apothe-
Gerry shop. Finally St. Jacobs Oil was recon-
mended. I had my spinal column thoroughly
rubbed with it. All those knots, kinks and stiff
ness have passed away, and am myself again."

B-It's a serious subject to joke about, but
some of the obituary poetry that appears in the
&an is calculated to make an Egyptian
.ummy grin. A man named Eagan died and
mis- son "fred off, the following, which ap-
peared in Saturdays San:
"He heard the angels calling him.
From that celestial shore.
He Topped his wings, and away he went
To make one angel more"
If the old gentleman is among the angels sure
enough, and could by any possible means see this
"effort" of his offspring, we have no doubt he
would "Aop his wings" again and try to get back
after that young man.

@-In the House of Delegates on Tuesday,
Mr.. Gunther, of Baltimore city, offered an order
authorizing the House postmaster to furnish each
member, &C., with $50 worth of postage stamps.
Mr.. 0ffutt of Baltimore county, spoke against the
adoption of the order. He said he knew it was
an old custom, but as it would cost the State 3d.
400 hethought it was not only extravagant but also
not right on principle. He could not conscien-
tiously take the stamps himself, and would vote
against the order. Notwithstanding Mr.. 0futt's
opposition the order was adopted and the State
pays for the stamps.

-he Baltimore Day says "if children in
our public schools cannot bring the money de-
manded at the proper time, they are kept in day
after day till they do produce the cash. The Bal
timore school board not only believes that there
is Divine decree that the sins of the fathers shall
be visited on the children, but intends to that
here at least, and to the extent of its authority,
and decree is fully enforced"

-@-0ne incident of Governor RobinsOns first
day in the gubernatorial chair of Massachusetts,
will serve to show the good New England sense
that has served him well thus far in life. He
was asked why he did not make his son his private

because 1 think too much of my boy to set him
riding on top of a bubble; he must prepare for
honorable work in life besides, my family are
not going to be fitted out with Offices"
