Obstruction Ended.

The Spartan firmness of the Executive
against all compromise on TIE peal of the
silver purchasing act, caused collapse in
the ranks of the silver men, and on Tues
day morning last it was publicly made
known that further obstructive measures
in the Senate would cease. The announce
ment was hailed with much qualification
not only in Washington, but elsewhere.
The stock market in New York went up
with a bound, and business generally re-
sponded to the joyful tidings. A vote in
the Senate is daily expected, and thus ends
this most exciting and stubbornly contested
struggle that had well nigh led to most
grave aud deplorable results. The latest
announcement is that a vote will be reached
by the middle of next week.

Party Activity.

The current week has been one OF con-
siderable political activity among Democrats
throughout the State, although it isaeeount-
ed an "off year In Baltimore several mass
meetings were held, and in the counties the
spirit ofactive campaigning has been aroused
in an eminent degree. In Somerset county
nightly meetings will be held until the cleo
ton. Carroll county has caugh' thespirit OF
the occasion, and today grand mass meeting
and barbecue will be held at Hampstead,
two bands of music will be present and able
speakers will address the assemblage. A
large delegation from Westminster is ex-
pected to be present to mingle with their
fellow citizens of Hampstead and other
districts aud to evince the lively interest
which they feel in the successful issue of
the present canvass.

Do You Want New Assessments

Every voter who desires new assess
ment of property should vote for the Demo
cratic nominees for the House of Delegates.
They are pledged to revaluation ofprop-
erty by the following resolution passed by
the convention that nominated them
iiResolred, That It is the sense of this
convention that the next General Assem- bly,
should pass an assessment law for the reval-
uation. on an equitable basis. of all the prop
eriy in the State justly taxable"
The Republican nominees are not pledged
10 anything, and if they were they would
not count for much in Democratic Legs
lature. No one doubts that large ma
jority of both houses of the next General
Assembly will be Democrats, and it Is es-
sentiaI that Carroll, to have any influence
in framing an assessment law, should send
Democrats to the House of Delegates.

Of the people to this great demand for a

large and to the Legislative body when 1t
meets next winter, that you are in earnest
by casting an unprecedented majority for
the Democratic ticket. Give not merely
an ordinary majority, but PILE II UP!
Such a vote in favor Of new assessment
would exert a powerful influence upon the
public sentiment Of the entire State.

A pertinent 1nauiry Answered.

The amount levied last year for roads and
small bridges in this county, aggregated Sl4,-
S24.73. This year the districts, in the aggre
gate, call for little upwards OF SIS, 900 Tor
these purposes. The increase, all told, Is
only about Is per cent. but the Adrocdte says
there has been IL vast improvement IN pubic
highways. We are not able to confirm tins
assertion by personal observation, and have
not been advised to that effect by our cores
pondents; but accepting it AS true, 1t would
be pertinent to ASK why the large sums de-
voted to this purpose in former years made so
poor-a showing. Sentinel
If the Sentinel will inquire of persons
living in any district where road machines
have been purchased and employed on the
roads, it will learn that there has been vast
improvement in the highways.
And the reason the roads have been i'm
proved is. because they are better worked
now. with road machines, and the work
has been personally superintendent by the
Supervisors. We have system now, with
direct personal supervision. Before, we
had none. The County Commissioners
could not know personally the condition
and needs of all the roads, or any very con
siderable number of them, and they had to
manage them from the Office here and rely
upon the representations of those who came
in to talk about them. They did as in other
coSpties, where there is no road system,
and hhey got about as much work for the
money and had as good roads as in coun-
ties where the roads were similarly man
aged.
The money is now more judiciously
spent. and we have no doubt that in a few
years we will have much better roads than
in neighboring counties, and the cost 10
maintain them will be less than before the
new law went into effect.

Suppression of vagrancy.

A rigorous tramp law for the entire State,
will probably be passed by the next Gen
eral Assembly, a law that will arrest all
Migrants and put them 70 work. Enforced
labor is the only thing that will put an end
to voluntary idleness. The subject has
been much discussed in this quarter re-
Gently. 1t is the duty of the Legislature
to protect the State from this growing evil.
The local law for Carroll county was the
pioneer in this direction, and has awakened
public attention to the subject in other
parts of the State The farming interest
especially has suffered greatly from this
cause, and it has suffered long enough.
Surely a corrective can be found if sought

Closing of the Fair.

Monday next is the date set for closing
the Worlds Fair. By common consent it
is the greatest exhibit of the kind th s
world ever saw. and it may never look upon
its like again Its gratifying too to learn
that it has been financial success. 1t has
even been a source of fortune to many of
its exhibitors Since its opening in May,
until the present time, the whole country
has been placed under tribute to Chicago.
Her Golfers must be swelled to plethora, as
not only the whole of this country, but the
residue of America, aud Europe and Asia,
have poured their treasure into her lap.
Chicago must be surfeited with money
unless, like the horse-leech's daughter, she
still cries give, give" Carroll county
has contributed her full quota, both of visit
ors and money, to the grand aggregate. 1t
is computed that 1000 people have gone
from this county to the Fair, The actual
number may be greater still. Atthe mod
crate estimate of S75 a head, the aggre-
gate expenditure of the people of Carroll
would be $4,000 But the probabilities
are that the sum spent was much greater.
Many of our citizens have relatives in the
West, and took occasion to visit them, also,
while going to the Fair, involving add
tional expenditure.
