The oonstituttonal Amendments.
40 5.

The proposed amendment No. 5, if ratified
by the people, is to be substituted for the
present Section of Article u, which reads
as follows:
1.-THE board of public works is hereby
authorized to exchange the State interest as
stockholder and creditor in the Baltimore 4
Ohio Railroad Company for an equal amount
of the bonds or registered debt now owing by
the State, to the extent only of all the pre-
ferred stock of the State on which the State
is entitled to only per cent. interest, Prov
ded such exchange shall not be made at less
than par, nor less than the market value OF
said stock; and the said board is authorized,
subject to such regulations and conditions as
the General Assembly may from time to time
prescribe, to sell the States interest in the
other works of internal improvement,
whether as a stakeholder or a creditor, and
also the State interest in any banking cor.
poration, receiving in payment the bonds and
registered debt now owing to the State, equal
in amount TO the price obtained for the
States said interest; provided, that the IN
! terest of the State in the Washington Branch
of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad be reserv-
ed and excepted from sale; and, provided
further, that no sale or contract of sale of the
States interest in the Chesapeake * Ohio
Canal, the Chesapeake Il Delaware Canal
and the Susquehanna d Tide Water Canal
Companies, shall go into effect until the same
shall be ratified by the ensuing General
Assembly"
The Board of Public Works, under the
power here granted, has disposed of the pre-
ferred stock of the Baltimore 4 Ohio rail-
road. The stock was bearing six per cent.
and it was exchanged at $50, for the State S
five per cent bonds. This power, therefore,
has been exercised.
The power is given TO sell the State in
terest in the several canal companies, but the
reservation is made that no sale or contract
of sale can be effective unless the same shall
be ratified by the ensuing General Assembly.
This reservation practically prohibits a sale,
for the process is too slow and uncertain.
The stock OF the State in the Washington
from sale. Under the proposed amendment
all interests of the State in works Of public
internal improvement, whether as stock
holder or creditor, and the States interests
IN any banking cofporatlohi are authoTlZeu W
be sold, under regulations to be prescribed
by the Legislature.
The proposed amendment is as follows:
THE board of public works is hereby
authorized, subject to such regulations and
conditions as the General Assembly may from
time to time prescribe, to sell the State S
| interest in all works of internal improve
ment, whether as stakeholder or a creditor,
and also the State interest in any banking
corporation, receiving in payment the bonds
| and registered debt now owing by the State
equal in amount to the price obtained for the
/ States said interest,"
This amendment ought to be ratified
The State should get rid of all its investments
as soon as possible, and retire its outstanding
bonds.

They only Lacked the Opportunity

The resolutions of the Republican coun-
ty convention speak of Democratic ring
that has enriched itself at the public ex-
pense. Had the resolutions been more
explicit and named the individuals who
have so enriched themselves, they would
have been more satisfactory. Assertions,
unsupported, don't count in these days.
How about the Republican ring? If
they are not rich at the public expense it
is not their fault One was for more than
twenty years postmaster of Westminster
another was once clerk, was defeated for
the same place by the people twelve years
AGO, was defeated for the nomination for
the clerksbip six years ago, and is the
nominee now another has been candi-
date for the House of Delegates, for states
attorney and state senator; another wanted
10 be postmaster of Westminster, and fail
inc in. that sought and obtained the posi-
ton Of city tax collector, and another is
the present postmaster of this city. All
the lesser lights have been striving to get
a living at the public expense, also.

Elevate the Campaign.

Col. McKellip, in his acceptance speech
in the Republican convention, on Monday,
said he intended to elevate the campaign,
so far as he was concerned, and he called
upon all Republicans to follow his exam
pie. 1t is sincerely hoped he will be able
to do so, for Republican campaigns hereto
fore have been conducted on low plane.
Reckless assertion, offensive personalism,
public and private, and fraudulent tickets,
have been the Distinguishing features.
Serious and false charges against prpmi-
nent Democrats have been held back for
publication in the last issue of the party
organ before election, in order that the ac-
cusations could neither be denied nor cx-
planned. The campaign on the Democratic
side has not been without faults, either
but the offenses have been forced by the
conduct of the other side.
It is sincerely hoped that Col. McKelliT
will elevate the campaign on the part Of
his party, but it must be admitted that
the resolutions of Mondays convention
charging unnamed persons with enrichine
themselves at the public expense and using
the Democratic party for selfish ends, i,
not step in that direction. Such charges
challenge comparisons, and compel them
Neither is it move in that direction II
say in party paper owned by the party
managers that a Democratic nominee il
filter for an inmate than keeper of a Jail
The Republican start is not good on
for an elevated, honest and straightforward
campaign.

Mr.. Roberts Nominated.

Hon. Charles b. Roberts was nominated
on Thursday, by the Democratic convention
of the fifth judicial convention, at Annapolis,
for Associate Judge. J. Milton Reifsnider
placed Mr. Roberts name before the con-
yentien, and seconding speeches were made
by F. Eugene Wathen, of Anne Arundel,
and J. Z. Mcclure, of Howard, all highly
eulogistic of Mr.. Roberts. As predicted,
Mr.. Roberts is not likely to have Republi.
can candidate against him. The Republican
convention will meet next Tuesday.

Our county affairs have been SO well man
aged since the Democrats came into power
there are no abuses to be corrected, as evil
denced by the absence of anything on the
subject in the resolutions which were adopted
by the Republican convention last Monday.

Was the Bob.Tail Republican ticket put
up on Monday intended to be elected? 1t is
said that the energies of the leaders will be
solely used to elect the candidate for clerk,
one Judge of the orphans court, and part
of the legislative ticket. The other candi-
dates were put up to draw out the vote and
for trading purposes.

1t is not strange that after twenty. five years
of fruitless effort to obtain control Of the po-
litical affairs of Carroll county the Republi-
cans should denounce by public resolution
the Democratic party leaders who have so
successfully defeated and Inundated them.
They hate them as the devil hates the Church,
and for much the same reason.
