This new road is highly appre.
ciated by the people of the Eastern
Shore, aud its citizens seem to feel
that they are more closely allied to
their native State than they have
ever been. The Chesapeake bay
has been strong barrier between
the Eastern and Western peoples of
the State which this rood has sue
ceeded in' overcoming, and makes
Maryland a more united State in
feeling and interest. We remem.
Der when Eastern Shoremen were
looked upon almost as foreigners,
and treated with feeling almost
amounting to contempt by the citi-
zens of the Western Shore. But
the Eastern Shore has become enter
prising and wealthy and an impor-
tant part of the State, which this
new road brings into close and cor
dial relations with the whole State
an Importance which is not yet full
ly appreciated on this side of the
bay, but which we hope soon will
be.

REV. DIR. Howard Crosby says
that if he had his way he would ex-
tinguish public high schools and col
leges and diminish the course Of
public instruction to three years.
If the expensive high schools and
colleges were abolished there could
be plenty of school house room
made for children in the primary
grades, without turning any away,
as is done by the hundreds every
September in the older cities at pres
ent. This is proper enough in
some respects. That is the poorest
possible system of education which
stints the primary grades for teach
ers and house room and maintains
costly high schools. But still it
would be precious poor sort of an
education that child starting to
school at six could get in three
years.

legislation in State and nation, m

To Incoming Officers

The Virginia Enterprise gives the
following bit of good advice to in
coming county officers, which is just
as suitable here IN White Pine as in
Storey county.
Shortly there will be number of
non-experienced men who will enter
upon the duties of office. They will
lie paid for their services. Many of
them can earn their wages ifthey have
a desire so to do, aud many wear the
time through aud merely collect their
salaries.
The advice the Enterprise would
give To the better inclined is To- take
the statutes which define their duties,
and study them. Ii they come ACROSS
anything they do not clearly under
stand, pay lawyer S. To have II ex-
planned. No person can hold position
in private concerns without learning
his duties, and IL often requires high
degree ri expertness to hold situa-
ions, and studious industry for the
welfare of the employers, who are
thus made to feel the value ut SER
want. Quite tile reverse IN public
positions. Generally the best quail
tications of a public servant is to look
wise, smile aud be pleasant.

there. Every shade OF green from

latter Is base and il Is necessary to

fumes are observable, yet the hair,

men engaged about the works are
soon dyed bright and permanent

NO POWER TO ACT.
The Constitutional Conventioa
Knocked Dat

Am0CaAeu OGt
The following opinion was filed on
the nth IN the matter 81 canvass OF
the election returns touching the sub
ject of Constitutional Convention:
The power of the Supreme Judges
as canvassers is defined by the Con-
stitution and Statute. The only au-
thority given is ito open and canvass
the election returns for Member OF
Congress, Governor and other State
officers"
This authority cannot be extended
by implication so as 10 embrace the
election returns for other officers or
questions. The only implication that
can arise Is that the Judges have i'm
piled or incidental power to perform
all acts appropriate or necessary to the
execution OF the power expressed,
that Is to say, To do what may DO
necessary 10 make complete cam
vass of the returns for Member of
Congress, Governor and other State
officers. Any canvass by the Judges
in the matter under consideration,
would be an excess of their author
ity, and of no more binding obliga-
ton upon any one that similar action
1y private citizens.
The facts connected with the pres
ent returns now on file in the Office
of the Secretary of State, require that
no action should be taken by the
Judges as Canvassers, unless they
have lawful authority to act. because
some of these returns upon their
face are uncertain end detective, and
others are not authenticated, so far
~ they relate TO the abstract OF the
vote for or against Constitutional
Convention, and no authority is vested
In the Judges to require correction or
amendment.
