An gxpected Veto.

The Annapolis correspondent of the Balti-
more Sun of Wednesday says:
'iGov. jackson says he will veto Carroll
county school bill because of its mandatory
provision that the county commissioners
shall be required to expend money The bill
provides that where majority of the patrons
in school district petition the county COM
missioners for a new or an improved school,
house they shall appoint three disinterested
persons, who are to look into the matter, and
if they so recommend the county commits
sioners shall levy the money to make the re-
commended improvement. Senator Bennett,
of Carroll, says bill can be introduced in
the Legislature to reach the question without
the mandatory feature"
AT the evening session on "Wednesday, the
Governor returned to the House without his
approval the bill to authorize and require the
county commissioners of Carroll county to
levy money to build sehoolhouses. The
Governor bases his veto on the. ground that
the general law provides method for build
ing sohoolhouses, and the school commits
sioners are entrusted with the duty of build.
ing schoolhouses, and he does not think local
laws should be passed which impair the uni
formity of the public school system unless for
urgent reasons The veto was unanimously
sustained

there is much reason and occasion to
be found for grateful heart. Has
trouble come to US now? 1t might
be worse. Are we alone? There is
poorer company than ourselves to
be had. Have we lost our dearest
and best? They, at any rate, are
not here to suffer. Has the year
dealt crushing blows in business?
1t has net taken away also our pow

rest give thanks again. Give thanks
that we live and breathe and have
