Mr.. Wales Claim.

I'VE will not pass upon the validity OF the
contract which Mr.. Wales claims to have with
the State. but we should like to know how
Mr. Wales. or anyone else, as agent, could
be instrumental in obtaining what has been
decided by Congress to be due the several
States.
The Towson .JOuWm credits the above
to this paper and proceeds to show that
Mr. Wales aided in the passage of the bill
to refund the direct tax
That paragraph never appeared in the
DEMOCRATIC ADVOCATE. We know that
Mr.. Wales did aid in passing the bill, or
rather that he did all he could to secure its
passage and we belive he ought to be com
pensated for his services He is not en-
titled to thirty per cent, for the refunded
direct tax never was IA claim of the State
of Maryland against the United States
Government. Mr. Wales was appointed
a commissioner to prosecute claims against
the Government, but as this was not "a
claim" of course ne is not entitled to
thirty per cent. of it. We think he ought
to be paid reasonable sum.-S20 600 or
$4,000.

MEssRs. EDITORS The sudden death of
Mr.. John S. Baldwin, at Porter's Bar, has
cast gloom over this section. Mr.. Baldwin
was only sick few days. Influenza, which
was Joined with other complications, was the
cause of death. He was 10 years of age and
his kind disposition made him favorite with
all. The interment was at Orem NJ. K.
Church on the 18th inst. Rev. Mr.. Harris
offlcated. The pail bearers were Messrs
Gilmor B. Shaffer, w. r. Gillespie, Edward
and Frank Matthin, Anthony Homberg and

roll proud son at their head. We trust all
may end we'll. The Democrats here are

Messrs. Wilson Shaffer and John Mohr

I Canton Copper Works for the coming year.
They have furnished the company with this
needed fuel, poles "A feet long and diameter

Industry here stands at the head of his
class When we take a retrospect and glance
down the avenue of the short time that this
has been our abode, the field of thought is
lost in surprise. Where there was a void
and giant timber only few years ago, now
it is embellshed by a substantial residence;
the sterile soil has been fostered to high
state of cultivation, and happy and cOntented
family recognizing the same as their own dear
home. The Philadelphia division of the Bal
timore & Ohio Railroad. built here some
years ago, has enhanced land and attracted
many newcomers.
The public school at this place, taught by
Mr.. Calvin 7. Shaffer, as principal, had l04
pupils on the roll at the close of the winter

The Republicans are highly elated over
their gains at the local elections in New
York last week Very little interest is
taken in these elections, and very few peo-
pie out of New York were aware they were
TO come off After tidal wave there is is
ways reaction. Gov. Flowers majority last
fall was more than $4,000 above the nor
NAL Democratic majority, and reaction
was to have been expected. Gov. Brown
was elected by over 10000 majority in
Maryland, but nobody expects more than
$4,000 at the Presidential election next
fall. So there is nothing in the Republi-
elu gains in New York nor will there be
any significance in the Democratic majority
of 10000 in 1891 in Maryland being re-
duced to ID, 900 in 1892.

A Tramp Law.

In another column is given today the
draft of bill designed to rid the county oil
tramps and to save to tax payers the three
or more thousand dollars annually they cost
1t is well known that the only punishment
these wanderers dread is to be compelled to
labor. and the bill referred to provides for
this IL makes it lawful TO add hard labor
to the penalties now provided by law in
the matter of assaults, drunkenness, disor-
DERBY conduct and vagrancy, and ''all beg
CARS and vagabonds who roam about from
place to place, without any lawful business
or occupation, sleeping in outhouses, barns,
sheds, or in the open air, and not giving a
GOOD account of themselves, are declared
Migrants by section ) of the bill
The hard labor is to be performed on the
streets of Westminster and the public roads
leading into the city, and is to be done I'M
der the supervision of the Mayor and Coun-
ell of Westminster. The cost Of the super
vision is to be borne by the city, and the
County Commissioners are to furnish the
stone necessary to putting the public roads
leading into the city in good travelling con-
dition, and also to furnish hammers for the
breaking of the stone.
This is the substance of the bill. 1t is
designed, as above stated, to rid the county
of tramps, and it is not expected that many
will come to the county after the bill is
passed by the Legislature. 1t is believed
that it will cause tramps to leave Carroll
out of their route. But even if it does not
have this effect, and they still continue to
come. taxpayers will get some return for
the money they cost, in labor on the streets
of this city and the public roads leading
into it,
For con stables. magistrates and sheriff 5
fees. for board at the Jail and Aims House
and for shoes, tramps cost the tax payers
of Carroll not less than three thousand
dollars annually, and they probably get as
much more from individuals, as they 90
begging about the county for food and
clothes Not only are these vagabonds
expensive to the people but they are an
moving. Farmers don't like to have them
sleeping in their barns and straw stacks,
and yet they cannot refuse them for fear
they will fire their buildings. Sometimes
they are insoleut to women. when they find
that there are no men about the house, and
altogether they are nuisance and cause
an expenditure of money that taxpayers
can lily afford.
