TIE SHERMAN INvEsTIGATIoN.-
New York Times, (Rep.) says Sem
ator Sherman is reported as admit
ting "that the Danville investigation
does not show as conclusively as he
had expected that massacre was pre-
meditated;" but he adds, "it does
show a great many things that are
not creditable to Southern civiliza-
ton" This result, we are left to in
fer, refreshes and cheers Senator Sher-
man so much that he feels richly repaid
for his labors. "These Universalists
believe that everybody is going 10 be
saved, said the orthodox old woman,
"but we hope better things Sup.
pose a committee Of the House were
to 60 out and investigate riot in
Ohio, where riots have been known,
and come back declaring that, al
though the investigation did not di-
rectlyt make capital for the Demo
critic party, it showed great many
things that were not creditable to
Ohio civilization. What on earth has
the United States Senate to do with
the defects Of civilization of Virginia
or Ohio2 If an election to its own
body is suspected to be vitiated by
fraud or force it may inquire into the
facts. But that the mere finding Of
faults which it can do nothing to
mend is fit work for the Senate is an
opinion which Senator Sherman has
pretty much to himself.

THE New TOBACCO INSPECTION
BILL.-Though the bill Of Mr.. Gill,
of Baltimore, making amendments in
the Tobacco Inspection laws, has
passed the Senate, it has yet to run
the gauntlet Of the House. The chief
features of the bill are the abolition
Of the compulsory clause Of the pres
snt law, increasing the salaries Of the
inspectors, the making Of the inspec-
tors directly responsible to the buyers
for over-sampling, and other provi-
sions looking to raising revenue from
this source by the State. The Port
Tobacco Times says it reqGires only a
glance to see that the operation Of this
bill, if it should become law, would
very coon result in the overthrow of
the State system Of inspection and
the sale Of the warehouses. All off its
provisions are vicious and some of
them unconstitutional. TO their cred
it it must be said that, not one of the
Republican Senators from the tobacco
growing counties, except DR.. Lancas-
ter, voted for the bill.

AFTER THE DooToRs.-A bill be-
fore the Legislature provides that the
diplomas Of regular college graduates
must be examined and certified to by
the State Board of Health. Physicians
who have practiced 10 years success
lively may, after making affidavit to
that effect, and filing the same with the
State Board of Health, continue their
practice, but nongraduates and those
who have not practiced for 10 years
must pass satisfactory examnai-
ton. Physicians called from 9TH
er States for consultation are exempt
from these provisions. 1t is proposed
to have examinations annually, and
in case Of failures candidates may
again come up. Apothecaries are in
cluded in the act. All violations Of
this act are punishable by fine of
from $50 to $500, or imprisonment in
Jail from ] to IL months, and doctors
using diplomas not their own shall be
sent to the penitentiary. The bill
also taxes itinerant doctors $50 a
month, and violations shall be pun.
ished by fine Of from $50 to $500.

COME so GRIEF.-Ths proposition
to reduce the marriage fee from $3.50
to 30 cents, and the proposition to re-
peal the collateral Inheritance tax
have come to grief. These PROPOSE
tons, if they had been adopted, would
have taken from the resources of the
State Treasury a hundred and twenty
odd thousand dollars. With regard
to the latter, Gov. Thomas, who is
chairman Of the Committee of Ways
and Means, said that it was probable
there would be deficit of from $780,
900 to 10000 in the State treasury
which would have to be made UP by
this Legislature. In view ofthis fact
he thought it would be unwise and
lnexpedient to abolish the collateral
inheritance tax at this session. The
motion, therefore, to substitute the
bill for the report was voted down,
and unfavorable report adopted, which
kills the bill.

CHESAPEAKE AND ONO CANAL
The memorial Of preferred bondhold-
ers Of the Chesapeake and Ohio canal
asking that some measure Of relief be
divised is now in Gov. McLane's
hands, in slightly amended form,
and will be sent to the legislature
this week. To avoid a sacrifice of the
States interests, which sale under
the present circumstances, they think,
would undoubtedly entail, the memo
,ialists suggest lease for twenty
years or until the debt could be liqui-
dated as the best means Of testing the
ability of the canal to pay this debt.
The debt as it now exists, and grow
ing larger every day, stands in the
way Of the Stale realizing on its large
investment in the work, and it is
claimed that the State by holding on
TO its management places itself in the
attitude of standing between an hon.
est and long forbearing creditor and
defaulting corporation. Mr.. w. W.
Corcoran signs as one of the trustees

DISTRIBUTION OF THE School FUND

DISTRIBUTION OF THE SCHOOL FUND.
Senator Bowlus, of Frederick coun-
ty, is the author of bill before the
Legislature TO change the basis of the
distribution OF the school fund An
unfavorable report has been made
upon it in the Senate, but if it should
become law the school funds for AL
legany, Baltimore, Carroll, Cecil,
Frederick. Garrett and Washington
counties and Baltimore city would be
increased together $32,26S.2l, while
the remaining fifteen counties would
lose exactly the same amount. The
result would be that the public schools
in fifteen counties would be crippled
It is to be hoped the law will not
pass, and If the senators have any ro-
gard for the interests OF their consti-
tuents it will not become law, since
there would only be ten votes for it
and fifteen against it, i.

Slow PnoGREss.A Certainly, our
Annapolislegislators are making haste
slowly with the important matters
they have in charge, local affairs per-
haps excepted. Two thirds of the
session have already escaped and lit
tie or no important general legisla-
ton has yet been enacted. Comment
ing on this fact, the Baltimore Sun
says:-The oyster interests seem to
be not 30 well off, even, as that of to-
bacco. Much has been done in the
way of collecting data and ascertain
ing exactly where we stand with re-
gard to the oyster supply, as to the
inefiiciency Of the oyster police, as to
the need for concurrent Legislation
with Virginin, but everything pertain
ing to the crystalization Of those re-
searches into the forms Of law remains
yet to be done. Among the measures
oil general importance to be disposed
of besides those already indicated may
be enumerated the general appropria
ton bills, which must be passed, and
the measures suggested by the Gov
ernor for the relief Of the treasury of
the State, including the Reading Rail-
road adjustment, and the question af-
fecting taxes and license" Among
other measures, of local as well as
general Importance, which should be
speedily disposed of are the school
book free law, and the question of
changing the mode Of appoikting
school commissioners, the constitut bon
al amendment in regard to the term
of office, &C., of county commission
ers; the questions of starting an agri.
cultural experimental station and Of
legislation on The cattle trade. There
also remains to be acted upon in the
thirty days remaining to the session,
important Railroad legislation, which
should be given time for considera-
ton and not acted upon in the hurry
of night sessions.

THE OFFICIAL CALL.-The follow
is the text Of the official call of the
National Democratic Committee, fix

for the meeting Of the National Dem

The national Democratic commit
tee having met in the city of Wash

day Of July next, at noon, as the time,
ard chosen the city of Chicago as the

titled to representation there equal
to double the number of its senators

of the United States. The Democrats
of each organized Territory and the
District Of Columbia are invited to
send two delegates, subject to the de-
cision Of the convention as to their
admission. All Democratic Conser-

LIKELY TO BECOME A LAw.-The
bill authorizing the comptroller to
adjust and settle the claims of the
State against collectors, sheriffs,
clerks of courts, registers Of Wills, etc,
will probably become law. 1t au-
thorizes the comptroller to settle the
claims against these officers and their
securities, corporations and individu-
ais, where the claims accrued prior to
1882, whether in the form of iude-
ment or otherwise. He is authorized
to compromise the claims by abating
the interests pccrued, either in whole
or part, and to grant discharges to
the parties and their securities on the
payment of the amount agreed upon.

The mysterious current of death has swept
little Ander from US. How can we refrain
from sorrowing after such pure aud beauti-
FIJI one, who only few days since was cher
ished darling, fair and lovely to ALL SO ear
ly was he called TO answer the summons that
all must sooner or later heed But God con-
summaries all things well; and He chose to
take him home rather than leave him here to
suffer the trials and ills of this world. Only
few days since and his weak little smiles
were such comfort to his parents; now they
can see him no more on earth, But bis little
spirit will ever hover near them and some day
they will meet him again in ''realms Of light"
We know that at the exit Of life he was borne
by angel wings TO his home ON high; that
when his little spirit SCARED above there was
another angel in Heaven Band.
Then, loving parents, do not weep;
He was not sent 10 stay,
Twas but ray of sunshine
The good God threw away.
He sent him here 10 cheer your hearts,
But tor little while,
And then He called him home again,
That he might always smile. r.

Little Benny was our darling,

Darling Benny you must come.
Day by day we watched him fade,
And slowly pass from earth away,

That he might longer with us stay.

And we have bowed to the Almighty one
And His eternal will.

On the night of Dow's arrival at the
