What the Counties Need.

The Marlboro Gdzefte has a cor
respondent at Ardwick whose views
of progress in the counties are
worthy of special comment. In a
recent letter to that paper this I'M
known writer referred to the colony
of the Danes once expected to set
tie in Prince Georges county. lie
admits that the project failed, and
adduces some very good reasons fol
being glad of it.
The Danes presumably are a
hardy, industrious and intelligent
race. They might be capable of as
simllation with Americans and
might become easily imbued with
new ideas. But the danger is that
they would not. Judging from re.
suits worked out IN some of the
Northwestern states, they would
probably became clanish, suspicious
of Americans, and would quickly
evolve themselves into an isolated
community, speaking a foreign Ian
guage and clinglng generously to
to European ideas.
The correspondents ideas upon
the immigration that is needed in
Prince Georges county are so clear
and so well expressed that we quote
a paragraph:
"Rather stimulate family and in
dlyidual settlement so that no clan
ish community be founded, and no
hostile influences menace our sim
pie and self made government.
The public good is far above pri-
yate pelf, aud restrictive watch is
better now than when too late we
become environed with elements of
citizenship educated and schooled
to different sentiments than our own
respecting governmental regime,
and fastening imported and dan
gerous ideas regarding the public
veal"
This nameless and vigorous
thinker at Ardwick rightly appreci-
ates the need of having the vacant
lands occupied and of building up
the county by all intelligent and
proper means. But 1t is not at all
necessary that this object should be
accomplished in moment of time.
Prince Georges county Is so stu
ated with reference to Baltimore
and Washington that 1t will natur-
ally be filled with homes of industry
and enterprise from the overflow of
these great centres of trade and So
cial aggregation.
"Only let the country be made
attractive" let good government,
good roads, liberal spirit among
the people and the development of
better agriculture be the order Of
the day, and there will be no
trouble about this vastly fertile and
productive region.
1t is to be deplored that every
Maryland county paper has not a
correspondent of similar discern
ment and ability to plead good
cause well.-Balto. Herald.

Death of Hon, SlIas Weimer


Hon. Silas Welmer died at his
home near McHenry, this county,
Dec. 2S. 1892.
Mr.. Weimer was born IN Somer-
set county, Penna.. on Dec. l, 1S48.
His parents were poor but very
highly respected and commanded
the esteem and confidence of all
their neighbors. In 1849 they
moved to this county (then Allie
gany) where they engaged in farm
ing and spent the remaider of their
lives.
Young Silas's early life was spent
on his fathers farm where he did
not differ from the typical country
boy in all his sports, labors and
educational advantages, except that
at school he always carried home
more head tickets than any one in
his class.
The old log school house was a
prominent institution of his early
life, and within its walls he laid the
foundatian of an education that
was completed only in the normal
schools of this and Allegany county.
Notwithstanding the fact of his
never having attended a college,
his education was far superior to
many who hold diplomas. AS a
mathematician he had no peer in
the county.
AS soon as he was old enough he
became teacher and taught every
winter in the public schools of this
county for about 20 years. In 1888
he went to Allegany county and
secured the appointment of princi-
pal of the graded school at Borden
Shaft, where he taught with perfect
success, for three years. In 1886
he was elected from his native
country on the Republican ticket to
the House of Representatives in the
Maryland Legislature, where he
served his people very acceptably
and with marked ability. In 1889
he was appointed gauger in the In
ternal Revenue service, in the
Custom House, of Baltimore city.
While acting in this capacity
he, on different occasions distin-
guished himself by his ability. The
writer has been credibly informed
that he was the only man during
his - years work whose daily re-
ports were never found to contain
a mistake. But the full performance
of the arduous duties of his posi-
ton to the entire satisfaction of the
law and his employers, and to the
contentment of his own conscience
proved too much for his constitu-
ton and he had to give up his po-
sition and come back to the noun
tains where he drlfted into con-
sumption of which he died.
One of the greatest eulogies that
can be offered to our republican
form of government is the oppor-
tunity it affords for the develop
ment of genius from the rank of the
people. Many of our greatest
statesmen and military heroes gave
no indications in early life of the
superior quality they possessed
until our republican institutions

Dies MONIES, Feb. ,4.---The Bohemian
oats swindles came to tho surface in the
supreme court in case appealed from
Madison county. The court holds that
the Bohemian oats notes are worthless
between the original parties, but are
good and collectable in the hands of an
innocent purchaser. The decision
affects many cases and means that the
swindled parties will have to pay for
their past follies. In the last legisla-
ture bill was introduced to protect
victims against payment under the con-
struction of innocent purchasers, but
was vetoed by the governor. Many of
the swindled parties have paid the
notes, but hundreds of others resisted
payment, pending decision in the case.
