The Chesapeake and Ohio! Canal.

The fate of the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal
is still unsettled. A bill is before the Legis-
lature, with the favorable endorsement OF
the Governor and the Board of Public
Works and such far-seeing and honorable
business men as Enoch Pratt and others, au-
thorizing the lease of the canal to the Wash
ingtOn and Cumberland Railroad Company,
which proposes 10 build railroad on the
tow-path to compete with the Baltimore and
Ohio.
The canal has virtually been closed for
traffic since the great food Of last year, and
the board of Public Works, acting under au-
thority, publicly offered.it for lease. Only
one bid was received, and that was from the
Washington and Cumberland Railroad Com
pany. The offer was considered advanta-
geoas to the State and was accepted, subject
to the approval of the Legislature. Suisse
quently certain citizens expressed desire to
obtain control of the canal and continue it as
q waterway.
Canals as means of transportation have
outlived their usefulness, and the Chesapeake
and Ohio Canal has for years been burden
TO the State. It has cost millions of dollars
to keep it in operation, and it has been a
fruitful source of political corruption. The
State would be far better of if 1t parted with
its entire interest in the great work, and the
people themselves, if 1t could be converted
into rival railroad to the Baltimore and
Ohio, with terminus at Baltimore, would
derive vastly more benefit from it than lift
were kept up, as it is now, as political
waterway.
The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad has now
$3.50 000, 900 worth of property exempt from
taxation. It has been highly favored by the
State and has not, for years, shown dis
position to make any return for the liberal
manner In which 1t has been treated. The
Legislature would act wisely in passing any
law which would take the canal out of poll
tics and prevent it from falling under the con-
troll of the grasping power OF the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad.
Chief Judge Alvey has appointed Messrs.
Robert Bridges, Richard D. johnson and
Joseph d. Baker, all prominent citizens OF
Western Maryland, as receivers of the canal
property, to preserve the corporate organiza-
ton of the canal This action will probably
complicate the affair. The receivers are par
ticularly directed to ascertain the probable
cost of repairing the canal and the feasibility
of operating 1t proftably when repaired. No
matter what other action may be taken, in
the light of past experience 1t would be a
mistake for the State to put another dollar
into this costly affair. Too much public
money has already gone into the concern to
render additional experiments advisable.

MARCH, Last week Thomas Curry caught

Branch, which empties into Deer Creek. near
Glenville.
The debating society at Lapidum has been
largely attended. There have been some fine
speaking and close contests.
Mr.. Stephen B. Hanna's horses have been
stolen out of his stable at night and ridden
away but returned before morning. Some mali
cious person threw stone into Mr.. Hanna's
window and fired a gun outside. His son Robert
and Nathaniel Smith were sitting in the room
at the time, reading. The stone came very close
to Mr.. Hanna. The young men were surprised
for q moment, otherwise the person who COM
mitted the outrage might have Jared badly, as
Mr.. Robert Hanna is q good shot.
Several public sales have taken place in this
neighborhood. Hogs and corn sell very well
but farming implements have been almost given
away. No one appears to want them, farming
being an improbable occupation and likely to
continue 80 until there is q change in the ad-
ministration at Washington. We will have to
stand the storm, 1t won't be long until ex-Presi-
