"Whether the children were to be educated
during the coming spring term by subscription
or under a special levy authorized by the Leg
islature, the fact remains that the parents are
paying the same account twice. The present
School Commissioners are not to blame in the
matter; the disgrace lies at the doors of those
who have applied educational funds to politi-
cal ends in the days gone by. "-CdTTotttonian.
We copy the foregoing extract from the
CdrroHtonian, published in its issue of the
4th of February. The closing sentence of
the foregoing extract, contains very grave
charge against somebody; and, it is to be
supposed, was not lightly made. That be-
hind it are the facts, the figures, and the
names of the guilty parties, with such ire
fragable proof as will sustain it at thu bar
of justice, or at the bar of public opinion.
If the Cdrrolltonian is in possession of such
facts, it will, of course, give them to the
public. The public expect it. Ever since
the School Board was made appointive it
has been filled by three Democrats and two
Republicans, equally responsible for the
proper administration of the Office, and it
has been filled by some of the best and
most responsible of our citizens Beyond
that period our own information does not

Maryland's Claim.

The House Committee on Claims was
addressed by Hon. Frank I. Shaw on
Thursday in regard to the long-standing
claim of Maryland against the United States
government. The following account Of the
claim will be of interest to our readers:
In the early days of the nations history,
when there wasn't any surplus in the Treas
ury, and the government needed money to
erect its public buildings, Maryland and Vir-
ginin generously contributed the necessary
funds. A bill was submitted to the Virginia
legislature granting 100000 to the United
States, provided Maryland would grant three
fourths as much. John Marshall, then
member of the state Legislature, and after
wards chief justice of the United States, sue
ceeding in having the word grant" amended
to SUBSCRIBE" and both states passed similar
bills advancing the money. 1t was accepted
as a loan, and the Capitol in Washington was
built with the money advanced by Maryland
and Virginia. The government waxed opu-
lent, and in 1912 Maryland reminded the
government of the loan of S72 900, now stand
ing nearly fifty years. Year after year it has
urged its claim, and year after year the Com
mittee on Claims has acknowledged the JUS
tice of its demand. The only opposition to
returning the money comes from few men,
bers, who, calmly ignoring the meaning of the
word advance, ''claim that Maryland donated
that $72, 900, and that, therefore, there is no
legal obligation to repay the debt. DR.. Shaw
has Fought for Maryland in the matter ever since
he has been in Cogress, and his remarks this
morning before the committee were foreble
and to the point. He has acquainted himself
perfectly with the law and the history of the
case, and will make an eloquent plea on be-
half of the state before the committee when
it resumes consideration OF the claim next
week

How great corporations and manufac-
turers protect American industry, may
be understood by the fact that the great
coal companies have, within the last twelve
years, imported 20 600 unnecessary foreign
laborers into the anthracite region. The
great factories are also filed with Italians,
Hungarians, Chinese aud other foreigners,
because they will work cheaper. This is
the sort Of protection afforded to American
laborers, that we hear SO much about just
before an election. The laboring men are
beginning to- understand this.

Judicial blindness, it may be called, the
Republican effort to raise an issue on "free
trade" by falsely ascribing that principle
to their Democratic opponents. In New

reformers have declared themselves for Mr..
Cleveland, while in the Western and North
western States there are more tariff reform
Republicans than any other sort, and all
