The soliciting con- mittee in aid of

movement are again actively at work,
and it is thought the $500 1000 notch
will be reached within a fen days.
Messrs. n. H. Walker and II. W.:

their willingness to contribute $4,000
each if eight others could be found who
would do likewise. Now, these gentle
men say they will be two Of six who
will do the same. The prospects for
the incorporation of the company grows
brighter every day; that the road will
be built is almost an assured fact.

United States vs. the Church. l re.
member the filing of the petition of
compromise: was in the court at the
time it was presented. There were
some questions asked and some
responses made. Some questions were
asked the attorneys for the defendant,
but | do not remember whether any
question was put as to the value OF the
property; l believe the chief justice
asked whether it was fair valuation,
and the reply was in the affirmative.
l couldn't state whether they asked
whether it was fair valuation or not.
l did not understand there was any
compromise; but that the money
received was in consideration of the
property. in order that the suits might
be dismissed. I think I understood
that the prices named were fair valua-
ton.
To PowERs-The personal property
turned over was in consideration for
the real property-that the amount
was the actual consideration; that the
offer had been made that if the receiver
would dismiss the suits and allow the
property TO remain with the grantee,
they would turn over whatever consid-
GRAFTON they had received. The sub
stance OF what was said before the court
was that the amount received for the
property was a fair one; that it was q
fair value at the time of the transaction;
that the church was turning over the
consideration received by it for the
property in question.
To PowERs-I think Mr.. Marshall
did say something about turning over
the proceeds. and that Mr.. Young
made the remark that it was merely
turning oyer to the receiver such prop
erty as he had been endeavoring to Sc
cure. remember Judge Zane asking
whether the action was agreed upon by
all parties, and his remark: "Let the
order be made.'
BEN sHEKKs
was one of the attorneys in the case
He had been present only during the
reading of portion of the petition, and
heard no oral statements.
LEWIS P. KELSEY.
Am a real estate dealer, and have a
fair knowledge of the values of proper
ties. think the church stable pro perty
was worth, in July, 1888, about $12 600 ;
in March, 1887. it would have been
placed at about the same figure. I do
not believe the value in that part of the
city has increased to any extent. The
Wells corner was worth at the same
tlme,i $65 900, and about $55,0C0 in
March, 1887. think the building there
of the shoe factory has enhanced the
property at least that much. The Con-
stitution property was worth some
where between $125 600 to $14O, GOETHE
Main Street about $500 per foot, and the
north frontage 5000. Some of
the Improvements are worth
something. Taking everything into
account, 1 think the total value
would be close to $4,000. In
March, 1887, it was worth about $685.
coo. The rapid increase in values has
not been upon Main Street.
To owERs-All my calculations have
been based upon a good title; buyers
require e good title; cloud on the
title such as,would require litigation to
remove it, would efectually stop the
sale of it.
An adjournment was then taken until
this morning at 10 o'clock.

The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1889-11-02

The Cecil Democrat admits that the
present Board of County Commission
ers have proved faithful and efficient
officers, yet in the same breath asserts
that thev have done nothing to deserve
re- election and points to the fact that
they levied and collected in 1888 more
money than any recent Democratic
board.
Now as the Democrat assumes an
air of candor and pretends to desire to
be perfectly far to Messrs- Bond. Will
liams and Crothers, with equal candor
we ask tile Democyat-WAo is resbon
si6Ie for the excessive amount Of tile
Levy Of 1882
Let plain statement Of the facts OF
the case be the answer to this question.
When the present Board of Commits
sioners took charge of their Office they
made careful examination of the as
sets and liabilities of the county, and
found in addition to the bonded indebt-
edness of the county, floating indebt
edness amounting to upwards of forty
thousand dollars. They published on
January 7, 1888, the result of this ex-
animation, and before making the levy
for that year made under their own sig
natures this statement to our tax pay
The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1889-11-02

In this year the deficiency was S7,o64. 2o
In 1885 the rate was IS cents on the 500
In this year the deficiency was SIS SII.S3
In 1886 the rate was SO cents on the 500
In this year the deficiency was S54 e7S 69
In 1887 the rate was SO cents on the 500
In this year the deficiency was $40, 1913. 90
In 1888 the rate was 100 cents on the 500
20 cents being to meet a deficiency
created by previous Boards which a
Democratic Legislature refused to au-
thorize the funding of.
In 1850 the rate is 674 cents on the 500
By this record it will be seen that the
lowest rate of taxation in the county
was under the Republicans in 1862
when 81 cents was levied for county
expenses on basis Of an eight million
assessment. When this basis was in
creased to fourteen millions in 1868,
there was not proportionate decrease
in the rate under the Democrats, while
under the Republicans the rate was
lower even with only about half of the
amount of assessable property. The
record of the administrations of the
Democratic party in the Commissioners
office does not show that the monies Of
the taxpayers have been more eco
nomicallv discussed than under Repub
lican administration, that the rates
levied by the Republicans were not
more, but in the average less than the
rates levied by the Democrats, with
nearly double the amount of property
under the latter.
The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1889-11-02

members of Its own party for not doing
the very thing the Democrat asserts
they did do, viz, run their office as a
political machine. Messrs. Bond, vii
llamS and Crothers were elected 10 their
present positions as County Commits
sloners by the voters of Cecil County,
because they believed they would prove
just what the Democrat comedies they
have been "both faithful and efficient
officers"
If they are what our contemporary
says they are, why should they not be
reelected
Besides, being faithful and efficient
officers, they likewise now add official
experience to individual talthfulness
and efficiency, thereby attaining a
higher standard OF qualification for the
duties of position, in which the prop
erty interests of our people are so init
mately involved.
Now if as argued by the Democrat,
partizans cannot free themselves from
party obligations, what possible motive
can tax payers IN Cecil County who are
not partizans have in turning down a
Republican Board who are faithful,
efficient, and experienced, to succeed
them by Board, which if the Demo-
c,ufS argument be true, would be
equally parlizanP We can't see what
non partizan tax -paying citizens If
Cecil County would gain by the change
We can very readily see what local
Democratic politicians would gain, but
their interests and those of tax-paying
Democrats who are not Office seekers,
and who do not desire party spoils. are
not by any means identical.
II as asserted by our contemporary
party spirit and partlzan action are in
separable from party organization, NOM
nations, and elections, the Democratic
Board must he open to the same OBJ
lection as the Republican Board, for it
matters little to the tax payer what the
political complexion of the Board may
be, if his hard earned taxes are to be
squandered by it. The fact is the par
tizanship of Boards of County Commls
siontrs is getting to be less matter of
concern year by year with our tax pay
ers. They are hundred times over
more directly interested in the honest
and economical management of their
monetary aft 'irs, by competent County
Commissioners, than they are in the
partnership of those officers. And it
is the comparative non-partizanship,
and positive official efficiency, of the
present Board that so emphatically
commend it to public favor.
The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1889-11-02

We say that it is true that the present,
Board of Commissioners have made the
taxes sI.6734 in two years or fraction
over S3L5c for each year. With that
they paid off the balance OF the floating
debt OF their Democratic predecessors
SIT, 900 90, and So, 10000 of the Bond
ed debt, and then left surplus OF
nearly 81 100000
But now mark the other side.
The Democrats made the taxes SI.7o
in two years, or S5c per year, and yet
created bonded debt OF SSo,ooo.oo
to pay portion Of the deficiency, and
Sho0ed off on the present board anoth-
er deficiency of sa7, 10000 to be paid
by the taxpayers.
Compare the two pictures.
Under Democratic management, S.
cents year on the hundred dollars,
and S57 10000 of deficiency.
Under the present board.
No deficiency, an average of S31a
cents on the hundred, and surplus Of
s12, 10000 in the treasury.

What a beautiful accompaniment for
Mr.. Germans cry OF "negro suprema
cy" in Maryland, is the story OF his
political henchman Mr.. Charles Good
mans missionary (2) work among the
colored voters IN Howard county, as
told publicly at the Concordia Opera
House on Saturday night last. Mr..
Arthur P. German was a candidate for
for the State Senate against Mr.. Orson
Adams, Republican IN 1879 and Good
man with band of roughs and re-
peaters was sent to Elkridge Landing
in that county. The sheriff there had
determined to arrest all rereaters and
to use Goodman's language 81 was told
not to allow the sheriff to arrest me, to
break the line of negroes at all hazards
and every man to vote once or twice.
AT five in the morning, l led my band
(of heroes) to the polling place. The
negroes formed in line to vote,
strung 20 men on one side and 20 men
on the other, and the negroes were in
the centre, and then we picked quar-
rel among ourselves and the lie passed
between us we pulled out our pistols
and commenced to shoot at each other,
but we shot the negroes accidently on
purpose. And the consequence was
the negroes run; they run pell mel,
heller skelter everywhere we run them
into Baltimore county, and, according
to the history of that county-Howard
county-not negro voted that day, and
we all went there and repeated twice,
and we elected German over Orson
Adams by $50 majority, and that is
what in them days l called square
election. And they are the square
elections you have had ever since 1875.
