For Surveyor :
JOHN II. CHUNN.
THE REPUBLICAN, SCHOOL
RECORD.

That true and able Democratic
paper, the Hagerstown Mail, takes
to task Ex-Csngressman McComas
because of his deliverance upon the
public schools at the recent Repub-
lican nominating Convention held
ut Ocean City. In his speech on
that occasion Mr.. McComas said !:
"We who gave to Maryland her
system of public schools, would give
to her farmers a modern and better
system Of public roads.
MCC0nas rgfeTsIs CnHpTgr TOO, Or
the Acts Of 1865, commonly known
as the Van Bokkelen Law and
was passed by the Republican Leg
islature of that year. There were,
however, free schools in nearly
every county before that date, but
the Act above referred to was the
first General Law establishing free
schools throughout the State. The
Republicans, therefore, are, as Mr..
McComas claims, entitled to the
credit Of enacting the first Public
General School Law in Maryland.
We cheerfully concede that they
did pass it, but what kind of law
was it? Chapter 6. Sec. 1-Pu-
pils-of this Republican School
Law reads
"All WHITE youth between the
ages of six and nineteen years, are
entitled to free instruction in any
of the public schools of the State. y
The negroes were entirely depen-
dent upon upon free schools, being
hopelessly unable to maintain
schools of their own, but their
sweet friends, the Republicans, in
establishing free public schools,
with malice aforethought' excluded
negroes from attending them.
For the school facilities which
they enjoy the negroes of Maryland
are indebted to the Democratic par
ty. In 1874, Is Democratic Legis>
lature at the instance of q Demo-
cratic Senator from st. Mary's-
the late Hon. Chapman Billingsley
appropriated 100000 for free
schools for colored children. In
1865, the last Republican Legisla-
ture that sat i,i Maryland excluded
negroes from the public schools.
Thus stands the record.
-.
In reference to the second count
in the quotation from Mr.. McComas
we respectfully refer him and the
general public to the st. Mary's
county roads. For the past fifteen
years the Republican party has had
nearly uninterrupted centrorof the
public roads of this county, and
almost every visitor to this section
freely expresses the opinion that we
have the worst roads in the State.
We have a right to assume that
what the Republicans have done in
st. Mary's is a fair sample of what
they would do elsewhere and we
hope the other counties will be
warned by our fate.

THE OYSTER QUESTION.

The Baltimore Weekly Americans,
of September 18th 1891, thus de-
livers itself upon the Oyster Ques-
ton:
"There il but one certain way to
preserve the oyster beds Of the
Chesapeake and its tributaries and
make them sufficiently productive
to meet the needs of the public, and
that is to lease them to private
parties wherever practicable. For
the people to hold property in COM
mon Is very attractive to some
minds; but it lie a glittering delu-
sion. All experience is against it,
and in this country we have had
numerous proofs of its fallacious
character. The Indians furnish
continuous object lesson. Where
their lands have been divided up
among the individuals of a tribe
they are cultivated, and their own
ers are industrious and thrifty; but
where they are held in common, as
has been very general until recently,
the lands are covered with weeds
and scrub, and the Indians are
worthless. The experiment has
been repeatedly made by white per-
sons to hold lands in common for
the benefit Of the whole community,
with the unvarying result that in q
very brief time the lands have gone
to waste and the community has
tdisbanded."
It must be borne in mind that
the Baltimore american is the State
organ Of the Republican party and
is presumed to voice the sentiments
of the Republican leaders. The
above clipping clearly proves that
the american does not regard the
Oyster Question as settled. A pro-
position to lease the oyster beds
will, in all likelihood, be before the
next Legislature, and unless it takes
the back track the leading Repub-
lican paper in the State will be
found favoring it. This is vital
question to st. Mary's oystermen
and they will need to be represent.
ed at Annapolis by men of undoubt-
ed force if they hope to have their
rights maintained. We cannot at.
ford to try experiments. Men in
touch and harmony with the major
ity party must represent the oyster
counties in the coming Assembly
and denounce any attempted inva-
sion of our fishery rights. There
is absolutely no chance of the Re
publieans controlling the next Leg
islature, and in that body Republi
can delegates from st. Mary's viii
be worse than useless to our oyster
men. We do not mean to say tina

their power to defeat q bin befor,
, the Maryland House of Delegates
and have failed. Can our oyster
men afford to run risks ! If the,
would have their protests heard
they must see to it that Democrats
, are in the next House of Delegates
, to speak for them. On our ticket
will be found men of the stamp re
quired and whose opinions will b,
heard and needed.
