COMBINATIONS

From the Weekly Record OF to-day
The philosophy in combination,
when one is in it, is serene and inspir-
ing; but il takes a deal OF calm resigna-
ton to view philosophically a combi-
nation. when we are on the outside of
IL.
When bad men combine, good men
must unite.
In looking around for good material
for combinations in our county. quite
respectable amount of suitable stuff can
be found. There is never any difficulty
in finding the top timbers that would
make a senator; nor yet the great trees
of the forest that would give excellent
girders for the House OF Delegates; nor
still less the broad beams, out of which
are fashioned Treasurers, Sheriffs.
Registers of Wills. aud States AttOr-
MES.
There are also in the wood or Anne
Arundel many a shapely sapling and
sturdy oak. from whose strong fibre
could be turned, with very little work
by the political lathe, excellent county
commissioners. Then there are num-
berless varieties of forest growth from
which can be made pins. such as clerks,
road supervisors, magistrates, consta-
bes, aud so forth, by which the build
ing is firmly fastened together.
t.aY
has been the effort of the politicians to
&C ;omplish, and he who could make the
strongest union of the trees OF the for
ests of Anne Arundel, generally erected
the building, joined the timbers, LABEL
ed the apartments thereof, and said who
should occupy them.
These combinations always had, how
ever, veto power over them-the peo-
Pile. We have rs regularly noticed this
though that ''THE PEOPLE" always
seemed like Napoleon's Providence and
heavy artillery, on the side of the mosl
influential leaders.
So when the men who were leaders in
the first, second, third, and fourth car
ried their several districts or any other
four election departments, and combined
in convention, and nominated the ticket,
thy were THE PEOPLE" by the way,
in the manner, and according TO the law
inaugumted, established, and confirmed
by the Democracy of Anne Arundel.
One might wish otherwise, such as
the Inauguration of the Crawford sys-
TEN, but as long as the district delega
ton plan lasts, so long fourdlstricts are
the people, and so much the more five.
aud still more six.
Union, another more respectable
name for combination, is only bad
when II has bad purpose in view. The
object OF combination is the subject OF
thoughtful inquiry. When its main
object is right, minor thin. : IRE or little
account; and men still lusz
individuals are very .pt to feel that
combinations that place them outside
the uttermost circumference of the circle,
are an exceedingly improper concentra-
ton ofpolitical forces. In fact ii makes
them, as one of onr acquaintences once
said of himself, in similar position,
Feel like an orphan in the Democratic
party"
The true test in many cases, is an
honest answer to this candid question
Would not approve the combina-
ton, if were only in the ring?''
Unanswered in the negative, then the
inquiry arises-''and ought not coun-
ter combination meet the orher?'' So If
II be right TO combine t, defeat, why
not the right to combine to win?

All this trouble would be obviated here
The waters of the Sound are filled with
multitudes of small fish Which are not

catch all the smelt that are used in this

"There is one thing certain: The sar-
dimes we have here are just as good as
those OF the old world, and we can put

WEALTH IN sARDINEs.
Washington the Only Place Where They
L..

Washington the Only Place Where They
Are Found in This Country.
1t is said that the waters of Grays har-
Dor and Puget Sound are the only waters
in the United States where sardines are
found Manager F.. A. Chase of the
Puget Sound Fishing Company, who has
been looking into the subject, says the
sardines Of this state are just as large and
that they have the some flavor as the i'm
ported sardines caught on the coast of
Sardinia. Recently several persons have
begun to interest themselves in the SUBJ
ject of utilizing the sardines to be found
in this state. Their plan is to build a
cannery' and export at least part OF the
product. Mr.. Chase says that there is
no place in the country affording better
location for the establishment of a sardine
cannery than the Sound. On a recent
trip to Hoquiam, he found the waters in
sloughs. and dikes near that city fairly
filed with sardines.
"1here were millions of them," said he,
"and it is very strange that their COM
mercial value has not been recognized
long before this. 1t is the best chance
for paying industry that is lying open
in this state, but it will take a great deal
OF capital and man thoroughly under
standing the work to build it up. A COM
pany, to work practically, would have to
manufacture their own cans, and this in
itself would be adding another industry
to the few we have'at present in this state.
If such business was started it would
not have the trouble that the eastern
companies do in putting up herring.
They had to create demand for their
product, but the demand for sardines
already exists.
eve yearly import from the old world
an immense. amount of sardines. A great
part OF this trade could be diverted to
this very region if some person with CAPT
tai interest themselves in the matter. 1t
would not only bring trade here but it
would keep the money here which we
, pay out for sardines for our own con-
sumption. The best sardines we use come
from the coast OF France. There are about
800 canneries there which do nothing else
but put them up. The idea of putting up
small fish of all kinds originated in that
country. Seeing the advantages and
profits derived from the business other
countries began to take up the same
work, and today in the United States,
particularly in Eastport, Me-, home COM
panies are packing large quantities of
herring under the name of domestic sar-
dimes. These meet with ready sale in
this country, and are also largely shipped
to foreign ports. In addition to the sar-
dimes, which we have on this coast alone,
there are myriads Of herring here OF the
same kind they have ON the coast of
Maine. These two products insure very
profitable business to any one who will 90
into it in this section in the right way.
We can catch sardines here much easier
than they can be caught in the old world.
Here they come right up into our inlets
and can be taken with net In France
the fishermen yearly import thousands of
barrels of haddock spawn, which they

THAT STATEMENT OF FACTS.

1t is strange, indeed, if the action Of
the county commissioners and county at
torneys in submitting to the superior
court an agreed statement of facts in
the matter OF the fees of county attor-
neys in delinquent tax cases is not a
proper subject Of press comment.
Without doubt the people will get as
fair deal as possible upon the facts SUBJ
mitted; but the fairness of these facts is
exactly what is criticised. AS the HER
AID has before said ,the statement is fair
enough on all points, except the vital
one, and on that point the statement is
this =
WHEREAS, the prosecuting attorneys in
making reports to the county treasurer
for moneys collected in said causes have
paid and accounted for to said treasurer
the tax, penalty, interest, costs and ex-
penses in each of said causes, but have re-
tanned the counsel fee in each case as fix
ed by the court, claiming such fee as
compensation for extra work in the FORE
closure of such tax cases.
But the county attorneys report for
March 80, 1898, and which is no part of
the statement OF facts, shows: Total COL
lections in cash, 81, 1OO.66; less his fees
collected in cash, 1862; fees in tax suits
on lands sold to county, 81, 1890; bal
ance paid into county treasury, 81 ,995. 90.
We re-iterate that we believe it impos-
sible for both the report and that part OF
the. statement of facts given to be true !;
and the commissioners did the people a
great wrong when they agreed to such a
statement of facts, without even seeking
disinterested legal advice.
Under such a statement of facts, it will
be only natural for the county attorneys
to contend that the county has received
its tax, interest, penalty, costs, in fact
everything to which it is entitled in each
and every case. Yet, from the county
attorneys report, if he has deducted
from the cash collected in other cases
81 ,453.00 for fees in cases where the land
was sold to the county and no cash paid,
how has the county got everything that
was due it in those cases settled by cash
payments; how is the treasurer going to
apportion the balance turned over to
him for the benefit of the fund to which
it belongs?
These are proper questions for the pee
pie to ask, and for the answers to which
they expect to hold the commissioners
responsible.
