duced Resolution No l45: assessing
one-eighth Of one mill on the dollar for the
benefit of the State Agricultural College,
and onesixth of one mill for the benefit
Of the East aud West Florida Cniversi-

throughout the State will be pleased to
see this, but perhaps large majority Of
them would be better pleased if the pro-
vision designed for the East and West

to that for the Agricultural College The
statement Of the resolution a. printed in
dicates that the one-sixlh Of a mill tax is
To be for the joint benefit of the two
Universities, or one-twelfth Of a mill for
each, which would Weld a revenue Of on
ly about FIVE thousand dollars at present
assessment, and would still supply but a
meagre income when in the future the
property assessment Of the State shall be

The Baltimore County union. [volume] (Towsontown, Md.) 1865-1909, 1885-03-14

g-On Friday of last week two prominent
Minnesota Democrats called upon President Cleve-
land and had long talk with him on the subject
of Offices The President is reported to have said
to them that be was dead in earnest in the matter
of Civil Service Reform and that he expected
every good Democrat in the country to stand by
him on that point. Up to this time those seeking
ofices-and hundreds of them appear to be assem-
bling in Washington-have received very little IT
any encouragement. The President will not see
them and the Cabinet officers are too busy with
more important matters to be annoyed by their
opportunities. Hundreds of applications are be-
ing received at the departments every day, and
these are being indexed and carefully filed away,
where, it is believed, very large proportion of
them will remain for many long, long weary day.

@-Harper's Weekly, referring to President
Arthur, says "the conservative good sense which
distinguished him at that time (alluding the time
when Garfield was shot has marked his admins
tration, and he has grown steadily in the good
opinion of the country. His course has indeed
alienated some old political friends, and disap-
pointed some mercenary intriguers. But it has
commanded general approval, and has shown SO
much intelligence and tact that the occasional
inconsistencies are the more surprising. His
honest enforcement of the Civil Service Reform
Act has been of signal benefit to the reform.
The foreign policy of the administration in its
tranquility and freedom from sensatiOnalism has
been most acceptable to the country. Coming in
to his great Office suddenly and under the most
difficult and painful circumstances, be retires
from it with dignity, with honor, and with the
respect Of his fellow-eittzens."

@- The Harrisburg Patriot says the great In
ter State farmers picnic at Williams Grove,
Cumberland county, for 1885, promises to be the
great event of the season in central Pennsy vania
Nearly all the exhibitors who were present last
year have long since secured space for the coming
picnic, and new applications are daily received
by the manager from parties who were present
last year in the capacity of visitors and sized up
the affair. A few days ago representatives from
three of the largest manufacturing establishments
in Kalamazoo, Michigan, visited the grove, select
ed ground and made arrangements for the erec-
ton of handsome and suitable permanent build
ings. The question that perplexes the manager
Just now is where to find room for all who desire
to place their manufactured products on exhi.
bitiOn.

@s- The Confederate relief bazaar of Maryland
will commence in the 9Th Regiment armory, Bal
timore, on April 18th, and will continue until the
18th. The object is worthy one-to raise funds
to establish home for poor and infrm men who
served in the Confederate army during the late
war-and it is hoped that the generous people Of
our county will respond promptly and literally.
In their appeal to the people of the State the COM
mittee say eve have frankly approved of pen
sions and bounties for those who fought on the
successful side, and have contributed our duepro-
portion of taxes for their honor and support.
Their declining years are made comfortable by
money paid by all citizens" Those who desire
to aid this laudable object-and we feel confident
that Baltimore county will not be behind-can
send their donations to Mrs. d. G. Mcintosh, Tow
sontown who is one of the vice. presidents of tn g
bazaar, and who will thankfully receive all con-
tributions and give due credit therefor.

wThe Secretary of the Treasury has ap-
pointed Mr.. Eugene Higgins, of Baltimore, to the
position of chief of the appointment division of
the Treasury. The Office is one of considerable
Importance and the salary is s., 800 per year. Mr..
Higgins is practical politician" and is one of
Senator Germans most ardent friends. He has
heretofore held several Offices under the State and
city governments, and served one term in the
Legislature. He is not regarded as much of a
"refOrmer," and those Baltimore Democrats who
do not train with the same faction that Mr.. Hig-
gins does, had the breath knocked out of them by
the announcement that he was the first Democrat
in Maryland to be honored with an appointment
under the new administration.

g9-It is stated that Secretary of State Bayard
has offered the position of Assistant Secretary to
John Cadwaladar, Esq, of Philadelphia, who is a
connection of his by marriage. Mr.. Cadwaladar
is a SON of the late Judge Cadwaladar, and
nephew of the late Gen. George Cadwaladar, from
whom he inherited an immense tract of land in
Hartford county, embracing about II 900 acres
and including San Domingo, Maxwelps Point,
Ricketts, Point and Sandy Point, which have for
years been considered the finest ducking points
in Maryland. This estate lies along the line of
the Phila., Wilmington & BALTIC. R. R., and has
long been favorite resort for sportsmen from all
the large cities. The old Cadwaladar mansion
was in its day known far and wide for its OPEN
handed hospitality, and whilst it has, in the last
few years, gone down somewhat, it is still noted
as one of Maryland's best resorts for those in
quest of good duck shooting and at the same time
the enjoyment of real solid comforts. The pres
ent proprietor, who will occupy prominent place
in the new administration, is gentleman of the
old school, and those who have had the pleasure
of meeting him on his cunning expeditions speak
in glowing terms of his generous impulses and
old-time hospitality.

@~It is hardly just to compare what is called
the extravaganza of to-day (says an exchange)
with what we are pleased to term the simplicity
of our fathers and grandfathers. The truth is,
the latter were not free ivers because they seldom
had the means to be. Their simple ways of living
partly the result of their pecuniary necessi-
ties, and partly because many of the things on
which the present generation spends its money
had no existence at that time. Their wants were
fewer simply because there was less room and OPP
portunity for the exercise of luxurious tastes
Opportunity cseates desire and if we moderns
spend moro and need more it is because we see
more things that we need, and because we chose
to make ourselves as comfortable as the science
and invention Of the day and our own pecuniary
means will allow.

ms-All the members of the new Cabipe,

@-All the members of the new Cabinet have
assumed the duties of their respective positions
and the business of the departments is running
along smoothly. Some changes are being made
in the heads of bureaus, the former incumbents
having handed in their designations to the chiefs
when the new appointees appeared for duty.
These changes will necessarily be made slowly
and it will be some time before the subordinate ap-
pointments will be considered. Judging from
what Secretary Lamar says there is to be no
sweeping changes in his department, and those,
therefore, who expect to go into snug places imme-
diateIy will be disappointed. Other members of
the Cabinet appear to agree with Secretary La
mar and will not be in bury to "turn the ras-
Gals out"
