The House Committee on Naval Affairs

large expenditure for torpedoes, and will pro-
vide for the construction of six or seven steel
''belted cruisers" of from five to six thousand
tons. These cruisers are to be the main re-
lance of the navy. Their main features are
swiftness and the power of their ordnance.
There is difference of opinion as to whether
this work should be done in the navy yards
by the Government or by contract, and both

ordnance work will be done in the yards, aud

ALEsIA, Feb. %, 1886

ALEsIA, Feb. %, 1886.
To the People Of Carroll County:
AS more than half of TIE session Of the
State Legislature has passed by and nothing
of much importance has come before that
body which will benefit the people OF Carroll
county, | will, therefore, in the first place,
ask the question, for the sake CONFORMATION,
whether it is the duty of the representatives
of Carroll to exercise unlimited power in the
creation of laws and measures, according to
their own way of thinking and get up bills to
that end? or whether it is the duty OF their
constituents to dictate and advise as to what
laws should be enacted, amended, or repeal
ed, by and through which the greatest ma
jority of the people of Carroll county woula
be benefited, and their best interests promoted!
If it is for the people to say how and under
what laws they are to be governed, then
saw. sneak at once, and do not delay, for time
is precious. If the laws as they stand upon
our statute books are ample and suihclent Tor
the good government of the people OF Carroll
county and are conducive to their best inter
est, than | say let them alone; and when this
session is over, let it not be said that our re-
representatives. were unfaithful. | would, how
ever, suggest to the people of Carroll county
that they appeal to the Commissioners, who
have the supervisory power over the publlc;
roads and highways of Carroll, to have a bill
drawn up (by their legal counsel, whom they
employ by the year, to attend to their legal
business) to empower the supervisors OF Car
roll to open all county roads and public
highways not less than thirty feet wide, and
TO empower said supervisors to grade said
roads. so as to have a travelling surface OF not
less than sixteen feet wide, with an elevation
of not less than twelve inches in center OF
said road, with bitches on either OF said no ad
of a sufficient width and depth to carry OFF the
water; said grading to be done in three years,
by grading one third of said road in each year.
1t would perhaps incur an additional assess
ment of five or ten per cent on our assessa-
Bile basis during the said three years; but at
the expiration of said three years, these addl-
tional taxes can be taken off again, and Car,
roll county would have excellent roads and
would lessen the cost one half to keep them
/ in repair, so it would eventually be great
| saving to Carroll county, as well as a great
convenience to the travelling public. 1t would
also be great inducement for people to come
and settle in our county and thereby enhance
the value of our property. would add anoth'
err suggestion to what | have said. under
stand that there are some county roads IN
Carroll county only sixteen to eighteen feet
wide, where such roads exist (if there be any,
the County Surveyor ought to be authorized BY
the County Commissioners to locate them The
required width.

SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 2T, 1885,
Threatening the Democratic Party.


Our usually conservative contemporary, the
Baltimore Sun, is stepping beyond its ordi-
nary bounds. Trio or three years ago, Slngty
and alone, it advocated the adoption Of neic
constitution, and argued forcibly on the SUBJ
iect. But few of the papers of the state sec
onded its efforts, and the San soon dropped
the subject. The same reasons existing then
for a change in the organic law exist to-day.
When the Sun first brought up the subject,
the matter of expense was then drawback
to the holding of convention. The finances
of the state are in better condition now, and
as there is strong sentiment for new con-
sttution, and as the question OF holding
convention must be submitted to the voters IN
the wear 1887, it has been thought proper to
take the sense of the people in the matter IN
the year 1886, in order, if they should decide
To hold a convention, it could be held next
winter, instead of in 1888, when public atten-
ton will be directed to presidential election
and partisanship will be uppermost.
The San, for some reason not explained
nor apparent, is opposed to submitting the
question of a constitutional convention in the
present year. From conservative discus
sion of the subject it has grown bold, and on
Tuesday talks thus threateningly;
s1The active promoters of the measure
should remember that audacity sometimes
oversteps itself, even in Maryland politics
Audacity, indeed! Is it audacity for the
legislature to exercise a right and power
clearly their own? Does the Sun pretend to
saw that it is unlawful for this legislature or
any legislature to submit to the people the
question of holding convention to change
the constitution? If there be audacity about
the matter at all, it is shown in the SUMS at
tempt to dictate to the legislature.
The Sun also speaks of the party lash being
welded to further the early-call bill. The
Sun should not get excited over the matter
The Democratic party controls this state, ano
is responsible for the conduct OF the state
government If it be considered proper by
the Democratic majority to submit the ques
ton to the people, it will be done. The San
need not crack its whip and talk threaten
ingly. Its power IN this state is not SO grea
as formerly The people of the counties re
member too well that the Sun, while profess
ing to be Democratic, not partisan, rarel.
ever does much for Democratic success. Ii
recent years it not only has openly espouse'
the cause of candidates in opposition to tn
Democratic party in Baltimore city, but loan
ed its columns to full reports of movemen
in Howard county against the Democrat
candidates.
If the San chooses to oppose the Demo
cratic party, it has perfect right to do SO
1t cannot drive the party, let it be understood
and it might as well omit its threats. Should
the early call bill pass the Sun will hav
ample opportunity to test its power agains
the party. 1t is likely the Democratic pres
of the state will hold its own, at least, agains
the assaults of the great luminary.
