Better Roads.

A call for a road convention to
assemble in Baltimore, January 18th
has been issued. We hope it will
persuade the public and the farmers
that it is only a waste of money to
have the latter playing at road
mending and that the only plan like
ly to succeed is a State system that
employees practical road builders,
working to specifications drawn by
civil engineers, who would bring q
scientific knowledge of that class OF
business to the work.
Farmers organizations, road i'm
provement societies, the Md. League
of Wheelmen and all other bodies
who want good roads are invited to
send delegates to the meeting.
A constitution and SET of bylaws
will be drawn up for a permanent
State road Improvement association,
which it is proposed to form and a
committee will be appointed to draw
a bill looking to the general improve
ment of Maryland's roads, which the
Legislature will be asked to pass
Provision will be made for local
leagues in the counties, and the
question of State aid to the counties
will be discussed.

They Took the Cake.

The Cecilton celebration over the
Cleveland election was an affair Of
large dimensions and took the cake
beating out of sight all the hurrahs
in the county or surrounding territory
They had least as was feast
Roast OK. roast turkey, chicken and
all the sundries were provided in
profusion. Three thousand five hun.
dred hungry stomachs were filed
so runs report, and several baskets OF
fragments we're distributed among
the poor after the feast had ended.
A number of ladies, mounted, rode
in line, while several wagons were
filed with the fair. sex. William
Deshane was chief marshal and was
assisted by about 20 aids. That is
what we call doing the thing hand
some and is hint to some folks who
live in the Sixth district to have
plenty of roast beef, turkeys,
chickens, potatoes, cabbage, pickles
and slch when they get up parade.
AS elections are mighty ''uncartain"
things our advice would be to have
the feast before the election. Such
a spread might draw votes "power-
fnl." And let it be known that the
man who gave the most literally
would stand the best chance for the
post Office. Some of the aspirants
would mortgage their places before
they would be out done.

Teachers Salaries.

The teachers of public schools of
this county have complained, or have
been complaining, for 10! these
many years, of the small salaries
they get The complaint is founded
in justice, and the great mass of tax
payers of the county can justly com
plain of the small amount they have
to call their own after expenses nee.
essery to secure that pittance have
been paid. The teachers are not
alone in their distress but have a
large and respectable class associat-
ed in misery with them. That these
stinted salaries should be padded by
an addition of several per cent is q
fact that none deny, but owing to
economic conditions which prevail
the tax payers feel that this addition
to the salaries cannot be made
Owing to the very small salary that
the best talent is not secured in the
school room is pretty evident, for
numbers OF teachers are not compe.
tent to make correct report of their
work to the School Commissions
which they are required to do. In
any future grading up of salaries
which may take place it should, in
view of this fact, be made a condi-
ton of increase of salary, that the
teacher whose reports were not
properly made out should receive no
additional compensation.
1t is also made a cause of com
plant, and strong plea for al in.
crease of salary. that young bache
lors discover the best talent among
the lady corps of teachers and offer
them permanent life partnerships
and steady work, and thus the
schools are depleted of their best
teachers, and that an increase OF
salary would tend to check the
annual drain from this cause on the
schools. This is worth considering
and we commend 1t to the School
and County Commissioners.
| we Suggest Tor examination by
these bright minds who are employed
in instructing the children how 10
think, if there was more money in
the country if they wouldn't be more
likely to get some Oft through an
increase of salaries. This would
logically lead up to the question why
there isn't more. A proper solution
of this question is the direct road to
an increase OF their salaries. Try it

LEGATION.

The speech of President.elect Cleveland,
at the Willard dinner, which went the
rounds of the papers and was claimed by
the democrat papers as something extra
ordinary, revealed only one fact, which was
that Mr.. Cleveland is a good deal bewil-
dered about what he is going to propose
The speech was little else than string OF
glitteriDg general promises or rather dec
laration Of fine hopes. The following is a
sample paragraph:
"Let us not be misled to our undoipQ by
other lights of false Democracy, which may
be kindled in broken faith, and which,
shining in hypocrisy. will, if followed, lure
us TO the rocks of failure and disgrace. II
we see stern labor ahead of us, and if diff
6culties loom up on our horizon, let US
remember that in the thickest weather the
mariner watches most anxiously for his true
light"
There is absolutely nothing in this but a
glitter of words.

The Presidents Message.

Congress met on Monday and adj
iourned On Tuesday the Message
of the President was laid before both
houses and read. The Message is
very long, and Notwithstanding its
length, the larger part of it seems
necessary to lay before the country
what may properly be termed the
nations business. This is presented
in a business like way. This said,
MIR. Harrison sinks into virtua!
obscurity. No element of states
manship will ever be imputed to him
by the future historian. He dies as
it were murmuring tariff! An i'm
meuse array of figures is brought
forward TO prove the greatness and
prosperity of the country by the
Gains in wealth it has made; so, loo
and 200 per cent of increase is shown
in the various lines of business
Admitting that the statistics OF this
GREAT national increase of wealth are
all true, which Mr.. Harrison brings
to his support, who holds this vast
accumulation of wealth p? Is the
bulk of it in the hands of fifty mil
lion of the people =? No. 1t is in
the hands of few thousand persons
Does wealth in this condition consti.
tute the greatness of nation ? No
Every nation in history has shown
these symptoms exactly in its decay
Yet Mr. Harrison seems to think this
is a proof of rational greatness, and
prosperous people, and this unpar-
alleled prosperity is almost wholly
owing to the protective policy
Our President is a pains taking
lawyer and careful politician. His
last annual message shows this in
every line. AS a student of economic
questions he reveals not single
trace. OF craftsmanship be appears
wholly obliyious. Wages are high
and all classes are on the high tide
of prosperity the Message affirms
except the farmers. The President
does make a partial exception in
their case, but it the decree OF
Providence, and they should bear
their burdens meekly! THIS appears
to be about what Mr.. Harrison thinks
of their case.
AS business document the Mes.
sage is exceptionally good as a
state paper 1t is pitiable in the
extreme. But if any one believes
that Mr.. Cleveland's Messages will
rise one iota above President Har
rison's last Message. he is doomed to
disappointment. They may be couch.
ed in more ornate and ponderous
sentences, but in craftsmanship they
will not rise particle higher, while
in perspicuity and business state
ment they will fall short. And these
are the kind of men we delight to
honor as President of this great
Nation.

Jay Gould Dead.

On last Saturday morning the papers
announced the death of Jay Gould. He
was so years TOO late in dying for the good
Of the generation in which he lived. There
is not paper in the land had good word
for his memory. but were unanimous in the
belief that not tear outside of his own
family was shed for him. Gould was I'M
doubtedly the greatest scoundrel that Amer
lea ever produced.
The danger of such characters lies more
in The conditions that permit them TO intlict
harm on individuals and the community,
than their inclination and natural abilities.
Had our railroads and telegraph not been
placed in the hands of gamblers such mon
stro1s wrongs as Gould committed never
could have happened. When they are
restored 10 the people, to whom they nat
urally belong, by placing them under gov
eminent control, such brigandage as Gould
carried on would be impossible.
The results which are springing up from
such conditions, will be crushed in the
not distant future either by the civil power
or the red hand of revolution. We have
already three families established in thi,
country, the poison fruit of these evil con-
ditions, whose founders have arranged tc
perpetuate themselves; the Astors, the
Vanderbilts and lastly the Goulds. These

bribery of the representatives or "seryants'
whom the people trust with power to harm
will find their descendants wearing titles
created by law and conducting themselve,
as privileged class, publicly acknowledged
as such, which in fact they are already
silently exercising.
There are many others aiming to achieve
the same power and distinction and by tn,
same methods, so that year by year this class
of Mammon aristocracy will strengthen
itself for mutual protection by increasing it,

and land monopolies are the breeding beds
