tice of his enemies as he does. In
a private letter he recently referred
to the attack made on him In the
North American Review as follows:
ssThere lives not human being 10
whom would at this moment IN

had rather turn away from men
who disgust me by their baseness
and wound me by their venom. The
kingdom is wfhin, and man who

North American Reviews can
change my real character nor just
repute with honorable and sensitive
men. But they can give pain to a
great many innocent people" This
treatment of the matter is worthy
of the man. His position and rec
ognized worth are such that he can
well afford to ignore his enemies.

this entire list of eligibles and con-

The good features of the new

leaves the succession in the hands

THE LATEST CASE.

While our cotemporary of the Cecil
Democrat is vainly endeavorlng to
twist and distort the murder record Of
this county into an illogical and falla-
cious argument to prove that b10hibi-
Hou increases crime, the distressing
story of a wretched wife's suicide
largely traceable to rum, pleads trumpet
tongued for the absolute suppression
of this demon, that steals away mems
brains, and converts otherwise happy
homes into scenes of sorrow and death.
Here is ample food for the moraIist.
Here undeniable evidence of the evil
that blights and damns.
And yet, while this vile enemy of
man is moving down all around US like
grass before the reaper, thousands of
our race, scarcely exempting family in
our midst, still men who profess to be
friends of morality and religion, with the
multiplied evidences of the evils Of the
rum traffic confronting them on every
hand, actually rack their brains to pro-
duce specious, and finely spun argu-
ments to convince weak men, why the
chained tiger of alcohol ought to be let
loose in Cecil county. We sympathize
with and pity Aurelius G. Taylor bowed
down as he should be, under the double
weight of an accusing conscience, and
an uncontrolled appetite for rum. All
such men are legitimate objects of SYM
pathy and pity. His case is but one of
thousands, where the indulgence of his
passion for strong drink blights those
who loved him, more than he respected
himself. The evidence shows that he
was not naturally unkind. That his
wife was devotedly attached to him,
asserting just before her death her af
fection for him, Notwithstanding his
habits. 1t will be at least interesting
if not profitable to note, how the advo-
Gates of the re-licensing of the sale of
rum in Cecil county, will turn to ac-
count this latest and freshest evidence
of the evils that whiskey inficts upon
society.

TAXPAYERS SPEAK OUT.

The public schools of this county are
now closed in May instead of June
every year, scholars and teachers losing
five weeks, just full half ofthe summer
term, they being open only eigh,
and a half months of the scholastic year
The scholars lose valuable time, and
fhe teachers lose position of theil
salaries, which at best are not adequate
/ This is matter of regret not to say
of modification to every friend O.
popular education in the county.
/ The reason for this is plain enough
iTne annual county levy is insufficient
Iand the board of School c Commissioners
lis compelled to close the schools fol
lack of funds.
/ Now as will be seen in the proceed,
sings of the board of County Commls-
Esioners which met on Tuesday last, and
(which are published elsewhere in this
tissue of The WHIC," the School Board
reports to the County Commissioners,
tthat in order to keep the public schools
fopen the full four terms of the year,
aand in order to build ten new school
shouses pressingly needed in the locali'
Aies mentioned, it will require the

creased to StS,ooo, or in other words
an additional levy of about 10 cents on
the hundred dollars for two successive
years, and a permanent increase there
after of the yearly levy for county school
purposes of 5 cents on the hundred
dollars. In view of this plain business
statement, the situation is simply this.
The County Commissioners are the
friends OF the public schools as every
body should be, and they are desirous
to meet these monetary demands of the
school board. They feel that the in
terests of the schools would only be
properly met by making this increased
levy for their support, and which they
deem it good public policy, and sound
judgment to make.
But in view of other unusual ex-
penses incurred by the county in the
immediate past, and at this time, they
hesitate about making this additional
levy, and are looking for some indica
ton of public opinion in regard to it.
We voice the sentiment of but one
taxpayer in advocating the levy, but
we believe it would be approved by a
large majority of the taxpayers of the
county, who we know are the friends OF
the public schools, and would like to
see them kept open all the scholastic
year, and needed school buildings pro-
vided.
Let the tax payers speak out. Now
is the time.

WE regret sincerely that our cotem-

yet realized his expectations in the
shape of remunerative office under
the present Administration. During
the entire period OF Republican ascen-
dency Mr.. Cruikshanks never lost an
opportunity to deride and ridicule the
bread and butter brigade, and if we
could only get him in office, he would
be nothing less than erpetual whet-
stone, on which every Republican ed
itor in the state could constantly
sharpen his wits. Get in, Brother, and

Mr.. Writ need not expect of course,
that the regular "organs" of his party
in Maryland will agree with HIM in his
views OF the spoils system in politics.
They will generally follow in the foot
steps of the Democrat of last week, in
damning him with faint praise. The
Easton Ledger of this week repeats
his name nine times (lucky number)
in series of questions dissenting from
his views. He has the satisfaction, how
ever, Of knowing that his views are those
held by the best minds of his party not
