Representative Compton has not
been able to get a democrat to &C
cept and hold on to the postoflice
which he has caused to be establish
ed at Popes Greek, in Charles coun-
ty. If he will have the Office re-
moved to some corner of this eoun-
ty, we will guarantee a postmaster
who will stick if the emolument
reach to five cents a quarter. The
average Anne Arundel democrat
never refuses an official position.

TIE county commissioners of this

THE county commissioners Oh TINS
county, we are pleased to learn,
propose to resist the payment OF
5000, 900 authorized to be subscribed
by them to the Baltimore and Drum
Point railroad. Many years have
elapsed since the question was pre-
sented to our people, and great
changes have since TRANSFERRED
which render it improper for this
county to saddle upon itself such a
burden.
At the time the people gave their
consent to the subscription, we had
but one railroad, and that slow
and inefficient one, bringing US In
connection with Baltimore. There
are now three roads we'll equipped,
we'll managed, running on rapid
time, and covering all the territory
between the two cities. The build
ing Of another road is waste OF
money which Anne Arundel cannot
afford to participate in. The south
ern section of our county still needs
a railroad and ought to have it; but
as the northern half have all tho
railroad facilities they need, without
costing the county dollar, we fail
to see the proprle.y of taxing that
half to build up accommodations for
the other half, who have sat still all
these years, praying for little rail-
road mama to fall into their
mouths, without making an effort
to help themselves except through
county taxation.
The Drum Point railroad COM
pany have purchased the old A. y
L railroad at a cost greater than
the county's subscription, to
enable them to construct q useless
branch road to Baltimore, when we
have now independent direct roads
from Annapolis to Baltimore run
ming through the same territory,
and almost parallel, which are able to
accommodate all the trade and
traffic of the Drum Point road
north of Annapolis. That, how
ever, is the business of the Drum
Point company, and we only men
ton it to show that the company
do not stand in need of the sweat
and toll of our people to enable the
company to deyelope the resources
of southern Anne Arundel, Calvert
county and Drum Point har3or.
The county commissioners should
therefore resist by every legal means
in their power, the subscription of
$500, 900 to the Drum Point rail
road. AS half the object for which
the subscription was agreed to by
the people has been already accom-
plished by private enterprise, we
fail to see the justice of demanding
from our county the full amount
of the county's donation, o. indeed
any part of it after so many years
have elapsed since the sense of the
people was taken upon the PROPOSE
ton. The equity side of the ques-
ton is clearly against the Drum
Point in setting Hp its claim at this
late day.
We want to see the Drum Point
railroad built for the benefit of
those it will serve, but we do not
want those who have no need for
it, or no interest in it, to bear the

To Assist Nature

In restoring diseased or wasted tissue is
all that any medicine can do. In pull
monary affections, such as Colds, Bron-
chitis, and Consumption, the mucous
membrane first becomes infamed, then
accumulations form in the air-cells OF
the lungs, followed by tubercles, and,
finally, destruction OF the tissue. 1t is
plain, therefore, that, until the hacking
cough is relieved, the bronchial tubes
can have no opportunity TO heal.
