rhe MaryIand school Commission.

Lu0 NhEyAhnO SCHOOL COMmlbbIOn-
ers.-The Association OF Maryland School
Commissioners began their annual meeting
in Baltimore on Tuesday Of last week. Mr..
F. S. Everist presided. The preliminary
work Of the association took up considera-
BILE time, and the remainder Of the day was
devoted to the discussion of majority and
minority reports of committee on "the
county institute"
At the meeting on Wednesday paper
was offered by Mr.. VIM. E. Mannakee, of
this county, which treated Of the advis-
ability of using the income from the re-
turned war tax to support school Libraries.
at should be the desire of all concerned
with the public schools" said Mr.. Mamma
kee, ,"that appropriations or donations should
be expended to supply the deficiency exist
ing in any branch of education that is neg
lected because of insufficient funds, and that
it should be so distributed as to insure the
enjoyment Of its benefits to the greatest
number deficient. The amount of the di-
rect tax levied in 1861 was 1871 900, which
will be returned to the State by act of Con-
gress of 1891. My judgment is that this as
sociation should advocate its application to
the support of public school libraries Never
before In the history of our country have
appropriations for public schools been so
liberal or have such large donations been
made for higher education. 1t would seem
that every deficiency had been provided for,
but to careful observer it is apparent that
there has been great neglect in providing in
formation of the character requisite to the
development of higher citizenship. Es-
-pecially is this true of the rural districts,
where there is no access to libraries, lectures
or other influences necessary to mental
growth or fuller development of character.
"Our public schools afford the principles |
Of education to thousands of needy ones, but |
the great end is lost sighs of or was never
seen. Further development ceases and in
formation of great Importance to every citi
zen is shut out from them. Hence, the per-
centage of those poorly qualified to dis |
charge the duties of citizenship intelligently |
is large, while that of illteracy is small.
Good books open to US higher kingdom.
lhe recognition OF these facts induced
Messrs. Pratt and Carnegie to making mag
nificent donations for the support of free
libraries"
A committee was appointed to lay the
matter before the Legislature.
Sixteen amendments to the public school
law were presented oy DIR. j. l.. Bryan, of
Dorchester county. OF these, four were
adopted, the most important of which pro-
vides for the enlargement of the State Nor.
NAL School building and for large num-
Der of free pupils. The association also
voted in favor OF giving school examiners
the power TO administer oaths on school af-
fairs; giving school boards positive author
ity 10 rent, lease, purchase stock and in other
ways obtain property for school purposes,
and reducing the number Of children in
average attendance in county schools to
forty to entitle the school to an assistant

Hale and Hearty.

These two adiectives by no means im- ply tte possession of great muscular strength. There are many men and women of slight build and inferior stat ure to whom the terms ''hale and hearty" perfectly apply. Their complex tions are clear, eyes bright and vivac- ious, pulses tranquil, step elastic, move ments steady, sleep undisturbsd, appe- tites sound. These indicia of haleness and heartiness Hostetter's Stomach Bitters will sssuradly bestow upon tho feeble, the nervous and the dyspeptic. No tonic of the century compares with it in popularity, no other rivals it ID efficacy. As permanent invigoration means also the previous regulation of disorder in the system. Hoststter's Stomach Bitters must also be regarded as chief among regulators. It conquors and prevents malaria and rheumatism, overcomes inactivity of the liver, bowels and kidneys, and promotes the acquisi tion of flesh as we'll as vigor.

THE dull tinea complained of in Ariz ona are boom times compared with those Of southern California" said a gentleman who returned from there yesterday. In Los Angeles he was offer ed a twelve room modern built house at monthly rental of SIP. The house originally cost S5p00 to build. While in Pasadena he received letter iron. lady in the esst stating that she had lot in the town in question, for which she paid S700 during boom times, and she wished to dispose of 1t, but not at a sacrifice" The lot was found but the gentleman said she could not get 70 cents for it. Times" says he "are still worse in the neigh borhCod of San Diego" In that city suburban property has practically no value. He was shown tract of land that had been cold to late owner for s15,0O0. He re- fused to longer pay the taxes and when the land wss sold at sherItf's gale il brought just s75. Another party had had paid $500 foI city (?) lot thatis not now worth s35 The boom had robbed the poor fellow ot his money and he is winding U his earthly exiEtance in lun' atic asylum. The Coronado hotel, one oi the finest on the coast, is reported tc be running at loss. In view of the foregoing we think it is good policy tc freeze @ to Arizona.

PIMA COUNTY IS the banner county Of the territory. Her public schools are models of eficIency and credit to the territories. The county su perintendent says in his report to Territorial Superin- tendent Cheyuey: "From such reports as Ihsve receIYed am enabled to say that the progress of the schools in thIs county should be source of great satisfaction to the friends of education. While the number of school children, according to the last census, have increased over 16 per cent, the current expenses have ir- creased less than 9 per cent. The school accommodations have been increased, the efficiency of the teachers has been very good, and there has been an in creased interest and activity on the part of the school officers and parents.
 Apparently the valuation of school property has decreased; the real facts however, would show an increase.

VALPARAISO, Aug, 24.-A desperate battle between the forces under Balma- ceda, numbering about 13,0O0, and the congressional army of less than 1000 men is being fought in Vins del Mar, fivs miles from here.
 The insurgents are aided by six of their war shipe, which forced Aconcagua river after an all days battle Friday. in which nearly 5000 men were killed and wounded. The government forces re- treated to ViBa del Mar, followed by the insurgents. A constant skirmish fire Is being maintained on both sides. The battle was resumed yesterday and the wounded are constantly being brought in. It is believed that Valparaiso will be bombarded by the fleet if Balmsceda is defeated, but if the insurgents arc de feated they will probably re-embark, as they have put forth all the strength they have.

TgE Globe Dem ocrat says: John Sherman does well to call public atten- ton to the Ohio csnvass of sixteen years ago in which he led the republican hosts and Allen the democratic. At that time, even more than at present, the monetary question wss the vital issue, and then, as now, the prophets of disaster were busy. The law to resume specie pay ments in 1879 had recently been passed, and the contraction" policy, es the greeubackers called it, vas entered upon. These agitGtors who were the alliance men of that day, saw nothing but ruin ID the foreground. snd condemned Sher man, who was the chief champion of the resumption measure, as ursparinaly as their successors are doing at present With greenbscks at par with gold, as the resumption jaw proposed. they clearly foresaw that limit would have to be instituted and maintained as to the amount to be issued. They believed and contended that any restriction of this sort which should be made would bring untold calamity to the country, and drive its authors out of office. Hayes however, was victorious, and the Sher- man policy was emphatically and en- Enthusiastically indorsed by Ohio.
 At the appointed time resumption took place, and none of the disasteri which were predicted to come with il made its appearance. Indeed, all thu benefits which the advocates of the policy promised promptly came to hand With the placing of every element of tho currency on an equality in purchaslne power with gold the fluctuations in th' face value of the circulating medium which hsd been under way for seven

teen years disappeared, enterprise was evived and extended, and an era or business prosperity such as the country had never known before get in. The same old predictions of calamity to come are heard today by the successors of the imitation advocates of sixteen years ago. Again the cry is heard that the volume of the currency IS inadequate to the country's needs, and that it is steadily and rapidly shrinking. Ohio IS the headquarters of the soft money propa- gands, as it wac at that time, and Sher- man, as then, is its chief object of attack. Taking tho situation in all its bearings, therefore. the sound-money cause ID Ohio has a cheerful outlook. Victory for the repu blicans iS assured, and de- served and overwhelming popular re- buko ls in store for their foes.
