To the EDITOR orthe KepubIlcar.

10 the Editor OF the Republican,
In your Issue Of last week ap-
peared an article from "Ta1 Payer"
in regard to the school bond issue
and more particularly directed to
the building Of q new school house
for Oakland.
Now, while we do not propose to
go into u newspaper controversy
with Tax Payer" in regard to the
authority of The School board to ex-
pend the money of the county or
State, we can only refer him to Art.
21 Of Chap. 4 Of the State School
Law, which authorizes them to
build, furnish or repair and pay for
same out of the money appropriated
for school purposes. But "Tax
Payer seems to think that Oak
land with her 800 children should
not have q respectable school house
(not ornamental) Does "Tax
Payer consider that District No.
z pays one-fourth Of the taxes of
this county and therefore has a one
fourth interest in every school
house built by the county since its
separation from Allegany; and
again does "'Tax Payer" know that
Oakland has never, since the for
nation Of our county, had one dol
lar in the shape of school buildings
while all the other districts have
faired better. Then again does
"Tay Payer" know that our 500
children have been put in novels
from year to year in Oakland that
are worse than nino-tenths Of the
school houses in the county. and
our State Board of Health has
threatened very strongly to have
the schools here closed unless better
quarters were furnished for our
scholars and the present school
building was condemned two years
ago as being unsafe and 1t would
have been an impossibility to have
used it another year for school pur-
poses without jeopardizing the lives
of our children.
Of course our School Board
might have put up cheaper build
ing for the present but we think
they have acted wisely in providing
for years to come, and giving us a
building at the county
seat, the nucleus of the school work.

Senate the triumph Of the sugar
trust will be complete and the bill
which President CleYeland has
characterized as an un-Democratic
measure and a base betrayal Of
party principles will be adopted.
This being done, it remains to Oe
seen if the President will so far re-
treat from his own position as to
approve the measure. An approval
would hardly be consistent with
the sentiments he expressed in the
Wilson letter, and yet even man
Of his frmness might be induced to
yield to the party demand for the
"passage of any kind Of tariff bill'
as a campaign necessity.
Matters have reached such a con-
dition that whether the House or
the Senate Dill is hnallY adopted,
or whether it is a measure resulting
from mutual concessions, such as,
for instance, a modification of the
sugar schedule on the one side, and
the consent to a duty on coal and
ores on the other side, the result
cannot give satisfaction to anybody,
and the Democratic aggregation
will ind itself, as deep in the hole
as an outcome of its laundering at
tempt to "reform" the tariff, as if
the Mckinley law were allowed to
stand. The country is already
much Disguised over the matter
and, under the circumstances, any
action now taken will not allay the
feeling.

JAPS ARR Fighters.
The Chinese Defeated Again
In a Naval Battle.
CHINESE NAVAL FIGHTING ENDED.
Two of Their Finest Cruisers Either
Captured or Destroyed-The Vessels
Were Well Protected and Well. Armed.
The Third Vessel Sunk.

SHANGHAI, Aug. 1.-The news of the
second desperate naval battle between
the japanese and Chinese fleets has been
received by private parties from Tien
Tsin.
If the report is true, of which there is
little doubt, it means that an end has
been put to China's fighting upon the
seas. The Chen Y uen must have started
out from Taku after leaving the Chi
nese transports there.
The two Chinese cruisers supposed to
have been captured or destroyed during
the engagement which ended so fatally
for the Chen uen are the Chin-Yuan
and the Foo-Ching. The Chin-Yu
was a protected cruiser, built at Els
wick, England. She had a displace-
ment Of 1900 tons and attained an aver
age speed in her trial trips, with all
weights, batteries and crew aboard, of
Is 1-2 knots. Her armament consisted
of three IA inch Krupps and two g.
inch Armstrong;, protected by splinter
proof shields. She also carried eight s.
FOUNDER rapid fire Hotchkiss guns, six
Cuttings and four torpedo tubes.
The Foo-CEing was also an English
built protected cruiser, very much SINH
lar to the Chin-Yuan. She had dis
placement Of $500 tons, was built of
steel, in 1880, and carried 10 guns of
about the same caliber as those carried
by the Chin Yuan
The battle was hotly contested, but
the japanese appear to have handled
their guns, ships and toTpedoes with
more skill than the Chinese.
The Chinese feet engaged carried
nearly thousand men and a large num-
Der of them are repo ted to have been
killed or drowned, the latest dispatches
saying that few il any of the Chinese
engaged il the battle escaped. Two
German officers, in command of the
Chen-Yuen, are reported to have met
death with the crew Of that vessel.
The Chen-Yuen was sunk with all on

CLEVELAND, Aug. Wv. A. Billings,
Cleveland manager Of the Sin Clair Meet
company Ct Cedar Rapids, Ia, week
ago reported to the police that 81, $50 had
been stolen from his coat while it was
hanging in ! IS Office. He was unable to
give the SLIGHTEST clue to the thief. The
head Of thc company was notified, and
came here at once. Upon investigation
he discovered hat the books had been
doctored, and demanded an explanation.
Ii is said Billings confessed that he had
not been robbed of all the money, only
$500 was stolen, the othxr he had lost
cat of his pocket. FEARS he~would get
into trouble, he changed the books. HIS
story evidently was not believed. and a

PRESIDENT GROVER CLEVELAND
has taken a new way to pay old
debts. 1t is o fit time to recall his
inaugural address to Congress,
March I, 1885, in which we find
that:
every citizen owes to the coun-
try yigilant watch and close scru-
tiny Of Its public servants, and a
fair and reasonable estimate of their
fidelity and usefulness. This is the
price Of our liberty and the inspir-
alton Of our faith in the republic. i"
The man who wrote these words
now seeks to enrich an American
Canadian coal combination and is
willing to enrich an American
Sugar Trust, and yet has the eff
frontery to say to the American
people:
~ beg YOU to believe in my good
intentions. ="
Who will follow such leader?

The Tariff Deadlock

The adjournment Of the tariff
conference to meet at the call Of
the chairman, and the fact that the
Democratic conferces are still una
BILE to agree among themselves,
leave the issue between the House
and Senate conferees almost as far
from settlement, apparently, as
ever. There is no indication yet
that the Senate will recede from its
position on the main point at issue,
namely, the sugar schedule, but
word comes from various sources
that the House members exhibit
willingness to make important con-
cessions. However, until the con-
ference meets again it cannot be
said whether this feeling among the
Representatives is strong enough to
warrant their conferees to surren-
der.

To The Citizens of Garrett County.
Editor of The Republican.
In connection with the establish
ment of the new addition to Mt.
Lake Park the citizens of Garrett
county should remember that Maj,
j. G. Anderson purchased every foot
of the 800 acres contained in this
Park and in connection with his old
class-mate, Dir. e. W. Ryan, and
his personal friend, DR.. G. P. Mas
den, organized the Mountain Lake
Park Association and put this beau
tiful body of land into sald Asso-
citation at exactly what it cost HIM.
This Park, with its beautiful resi-
dences, it's shady drives, its cold
clear waters and its delightful re-
ligious and literary entertainments
has been a blessing morally, socially
and financially, not only to every
citizen Of this county, but to thous-
ands outside Of our county and
State.
Maj. Anderson has assurances that
his new addition will be equally
successful and add still greater
blessings and advantages, and we
feel sure our citizens viii attend the
sale at Loeb Lynn Heights en-
masse, and aid him IN making it
another deiightful place and a
grand success.
The assessed value Of both per
sonal property and real estate has
nearly d0UJ2ed in Garrett county
since the establishment of Mt. Lake
Park. The building up Of Loeb
Lynn Heights will increase it in
still greater proportion. 1t Will
bring increased trade to our mer-
chants, add additional markets for
all kinds of produce to our farmers,
and give employment to hundreds
of builders, carpenters, stone-ma-
sons, plas5erers, painters and in
deed to all branches of trades and
| professions. Do not let this oppor-
tunity slip to purchase q lot at one
third Of what you will have to pay
in year OF two. Give your pres
ence, your influence and your mite
in helping to build up Loeb Lynn
Heights. 1t viii not only increase
the value of property in Oakland,
Mt, Lake Park and Deer Park, but
in every section of Garrett county.
While you are helping these gentle
men who have come from other
States and invested their money
here, You are helgiHg y0urselges and
eoery citizen Of this county.
GARRETT.

crank notion of ours will, per-
force, be adopted by the sapient
gentlemen who have been laughing
at it during that time. In spite of
this warning we do most heartily
congratulate our sister town, Con-
fuence, upon the bright prospects
opening to her. She has waited
long and patiently and we rejoice
that her patience is to be rewarded.
The fact that prosperity comes to
any point in the county ever warns
the heart Of THE Commercial and it
is ever ready to assist in the good
work with all its power.
Thus far the Connellsville Courier
restricts any advantages that may
accrue to its town to "better shop
facilities;' it may live to widen its
scope of vision, for we think it is
strictly in the SWIM. Speaking OF
the extension it has the following:
Confluence would naturally take
on a boom in the event of the road S
extension. The construction, how
ever, would be expensive. The
topography above Manor Lands re-
sembles that between Indian Greek
and Ohio Pyle, only more SO. Grad
ing would classify more rock than
earth. However, there are immense
tracts Of valuable timber awaiting
development in that part of Mary
land. These lands have been
bought tor q mere trlhe, and the
owners probably feel that they can
pay something for their develop
ment.
