We want fair dealing for the 100000 colored
people of the State in school affairs. The colored
school system In Maryland Is almost a sham. There
Is not public college, university normal school
supported by the state within its borders The col

must work, and persist and Insist; must organize,
concentrate, agiiate: must economic, accumulate
and have enterprise; must own property and carry
business. Such course win command success
and respect

Bound For the GalIovys.

We attended church the other even
ing in company with Hank Rifer's
oldest girl, Sarah. When the contri-
button box was passed we intended TO
chip in quarter, but got hold Of 81 by
accident. After the services We went
to Deacon Jaggers, who runs the box,
and requested rs cents rebate. He re-
fused to make it, saying the Lord nev-
er allowed discounts or rebate. The
deacon being this sort of man, the
Kicker does not hesitate to record the
fact that he broke Jail at Akron, o..
twelve years ago, and Is still wanted in
that State for bigamy. We have been
keeping still on him because we we're
trotting Sarah about, and because the
deacon claimed that he was doing
work for the Lord in this locality. We
have given Sarah the shake, and We
shall now stand the deacon out to the
public in way that will make him
anxious to move before Christmas

MARYLAND'S MERRY WAR.
The Folly of sOne Man Trying to Ar
rest Fifty illustrated.

Il
rest Fifty Illustrated.
Mr.. Johann Strsuss once wrote a
comic opera entitled, "The Merry
W ar" which had a wide popularity
both in Europe and in this country.
The subject of the libretto was dis
pute between two nations over their
services of a prima-donna, and when
diplomacy was found unavailing these
warlike lovers Of music had resort to
arms.
The complaint Is often made that
there are not subjects enough in this
country which are capable of treat
ment on the stage or in fiction that
our life is too 'prosaic and colorless to
furnish the materials for any work of
the imagination. 1t is true that we
have no dukes, or lords and ladies, or
even ruined castles but there is still
plenty in our civilization that is cap
able of either romantic or humorous
treatment.
If fan aspiring writer Of comic opera
wished to find suitable theme for his
humor and music, the oyster war that
is now in progress in Maryland would
be fruitful. 1t is being waged with
all the intensity of a conflict that
was to settle the fate of nations, but
the bloodshed is not much more CO.
pious than in Herr Strauss contest
over a prima donna.
On one side are ranged the pirates,
numbering 5000 or 1000 men, and
on the other the police, who, even on
great days, scarcely exceed hundred.
Ifyou send one man to arrest fifty, the
result is almost certain to be the same
as that of the Maryland police when
they start in pursuit of the oyster pi-
rates. 1t is the pirates who generally
do the chasing. The police have
about as much as they can do to keep
out of their way, to say nothing OF
making any arrests.
AS for the pirates, their favorite
amusement is hunting the police.
When their business of stealing oys-
ters pals on them they deposit their
plunder in some safe place and then
start off to bag IA policeman. When
they catch party of them, they take
away their arms and turn them adrift
in their own boats on the stormy
Chesapeake.
Occasionally there is bloody bat
tie, as when the police happen to be
in especially large force, as at Little
Choptank River last week. On that
occasion over 1000 rounds of ammu-
nitlon were fred, and three men were
wounded but that was the most dis
astrous conflict of the year. The lib
rettist who chose this topic for his
work would find no end of incidents
to use his imagination upon. We are
not told whether the pirates have cho-
sen king as yet, but no doubt they
would be willing to elect one to oblige
any author who wished to recount
their deeds in song

Married His Half Sister.

Jacob Wells, an Alabama farmer,
discovered last week that he had been
married tor four years to his half sister.
The way it happened was that his
father died when he was twelve years
old, his mother married again and he
ran away from Georgia to Alabama.
Soon after the birth of a daughter,
both the mother and father died and
the child was adopted by Smith
family. This family went to Alabama
