Col. Rich'd c. Hollyday, ex Secretary of
State of Maryland, died on last Sunday.
near Easton. He leaves widow and a
sou and daughter No man was ever held
in higher esteem than Col. Hollyday. He
was a most hospitabla and warm hearted
gentleman and bad the friendship Of all
who knew him. He was born in Ia hot
county in 1911. He is a son Of the lon.
Henry Hollyday, who represented Talbot
county in the State Senate for mum Der OF
terms, and was cousin and brother in
at Princeton, and udied law with VIM.
Carmichael, in Centreville. He practiced
law in Talbot county, and subsequently in
Allegheny county. He removed to Cecil
county in 1885 or 1886, and practicod law
at Elk ton until 1852. He represented Co
Gil county in the Legislature for two terms,
1S4445 and 1S45 As. He wss Secretary of
State 1S49 to March, 1949 under Governor
P. F. Thomas, who also appointed him the
clerk of Cecil County Court, where he re-
manned until November, 1851 In 1852 he

He was member of the constitutional

-Vice-President Schuyler Colfax drop
ped dead suddenly last week, in Mankato,
MINI. The deceased was born in the city
of New York in March, 1928. Having in
1886 removed to Indiana, his career as =
politician is identified with tho history of
the latter State. Beginning as a clerk in
a country store, he became afterward a
lawyer, an editor, delegate to the Wing
national convention of 1S4S, and in 1854
a member of Congress. By successive re-
elections he continued in Congress until
1868, when he was elected Vice-President
on the ticket with General Grant. His al
legged participation in the Credit Mobilier
stock distribution made by Cakes Amss
clouded his political prospects in his lat.
ter years, and perhaps prevented his re.
nomination along with Gen. Grant for g
second term.

Senator GrOOme and the Ca binet.

The Statesman, a Washington journal
has this complime ltary notice of Senator
Groome. The suggestion of The State,
man is u most excellent one, and II Presl
dent Cleveland should see fit to act upon
it and make Senator Groome postmaster
general, he would make an appointment
satisfactory to the country and valuable
to the public service:
lex Governor James B. Groome. Of Mary
land retres from the Senate on the 4th of mex
March, after having served "Msryland, my
Maryland" faithfully and we'll. The Senator
is one of natures noblemen, and has yea ousl '
served the Democratic party without being Of
fensive to the Republican party, and no better
selection could be made for place in the cab
met of President Cleveland than that of Sena
tor Groome for Postmaster General, the duties
of hich would he familiar TO him, because OF
his active service On the Senate Committee or
Post Offices and Post Roads. His selection
would satisfy Democrats Independents, nd
be unohjectionable to any Republican.

Those Democratic Senators, who gave
their Endorsement by their votes to the
measure now pending in Congress to place
Gen. Grant upon the retired list as Gener-
al of the United States armies with the
emoluments appertaining to the position,
have done graceful thing. The fact that
Gen. Grant was taken by the suffrages of
the people from his position in the army
and made President OF the Republic and
thereby deprived of his right to the pri-
vilege it is now proposed to confer on him
is no valid reason why it should not now
be conferred on him, especially as recent
financial reverses have made the salary a
desideratum to the old warrior in his de-
Ginning years. 1t is true that the narrow
partisan conduct of Gen. Grants admins
tration and his persecution of the South
was not such as to recommend him to the
friendly consideration of Democrats, and
especially of Southern Democrats, but this
ought to be as it seems to be, attributed to
his bad advisers and his own weakness
Gen. Grants natural instincts were shown
ut Appomattox, and in bis recent vindi-
cation of the character of Fitz John Por-
ter, and his subseq uent bad conduct should
not deprive him of the claim which his
previous great and faithful services to the
country give him to the preferment now
sought in his behalf. There does n Of seem
to lie much doubt that the Democratic
House will promptly concur in the meas
ure.

Gen. BENJAMIN F. Butler began = suit
in the United States Circuit Court for
New York on Monday against Stephen B.
Elkins, one of Blaines managers of the
Republican National Committee. The
complaint charges that in February, 1884
a contract was signed whereby the defend
ant agreed to convey by quit claim to the
plaintiff about 100000 acres of land in
Mora county, New Mexico. Gen. Butler
was to pay Elkins seventy-fve cents an
acre. Gen. Butler asks the Court to en-,
join ElkiDs from selling the lands, and
make him perform his agreement. Doubt
less Stephen would like to get out of his
campaign contract with BENJAMIN, now
that the scheme to make Blaine President
has failed; but the General is cunning
lawyer and it is probable that he has ar.
ranged the business SO as to be able to
make his bargainor come to time.

The Court of Appeals OF Maryland in a
recent decision Che indexing case from
Montgomery county,, says the WicoE1ico
Record, clearly limits and defines the pow
crs of Boards of County Commissioners in
making appropriations and paying claims,
and also 'ermines that any tax payer
can upon his own motion stop any unau-
thorized expenditure by these officials
This decision is Of special Importance to
these Boards, because it will deter them
from going beyond legal restraints, and
make them more careful in the expendi-
ture of money procured by taxation
They are not clothed with arbitrary pow
ers, but should in all cases be governed
by sound judgment and prudence in max
ing contracts and appropriations, and un-
der all circumstances endeavor to act with
in the bounds of legal authority. Narrow
minded economy is sometimes as bad as
reckless extravagance-but there is just
balance between the two, in which all le-
gislation affecting the rights and interes. 8
of taxpayers ought to be carefully weigh
ed. In building bridges or roads, or any
other public convenience, the public good
should be studied and not private interests
