As il is expected that the subject of leasing the
Chesapeake and Ohio canal to the Washington
and Cumberland railroad company will come
up in the legislature tomorrow, quite large
number of the prominent citizens OF the county
will visit Annapolis. A large number of the
citizens OF the county were here today and the
question OF railroad was pretty thoroughly
discussed. The general sentiment appears to
be in favor OF the lease, provided such safe
guards are thrown around it as to insure the
building of the road through the entire line at
as early day as possible, and many are in
favor OF provision requiring the company to
commence work on both ends of the road at
the same time.
The public school commissioners held q
meeting here today to close up the business of
the winter term OF the schools. The secretary
reported the number Of pupils enrolled for the
term at 4.S75, with an average attendance Of
2,664. This is "a low average attendance, and

Judge GOOdyyiu's Editorial.

Speaking editorially upon the Utah election
Judge C. c. Goodwin OF the Salt Lake
Tribune says: "A great wave of thank
fulness will sweep over Utah today. The
blow delivered yesterday upon Mormonism as
political power was a terrible one and tho
news OF it will strike upon thousands OF
hearts like visible answer to
prayers. February 10, 1890. marks an epoch in
Utah's history. To the mental vision of old
and narrow fanatics it will seem almost like one
OF those cGtaclysms which science denominates
a geological period. They will be forced to
pause and ask themselves if it is possible
for all these years to have been
mistaken and their hearts will be very
sore, and We believe that on the other
hand twice ten thousand women who are
bound in the tolls of Mormonism will while
kissing their babes to sleep tonight thank God
that the cup they were forced to drink will be
forced from their chlldren's lips We believe
that the great body of young Utah people will
rejoice openly or secretly, etc.. ETC.
