Declines, Thank You.

Mr.. Geo. S. Woolley, chairman
of the board of Trustees of the
Almshouse and Insane Asylum
which Board was invited by the
County Commissioners to resign,
has written the Commissioners a
peppery letter declining to taket their
advice. Mr.. Woolley tells the
Commissioners the real reason they
invite him to resign is because his
legislation does not please them.
Mr.. Woolley was a member of the
Maryland House of Delegates last
winter. The question arises now.
What are the County Commission
ers going to do about it. The
County Commissioners are not
going to take the advice of the
legislature and dismiss their Clerk
and Treasurer and the Trustees of
the Insane and Poor don't propose
to comply with the Commissioners
wish and it looks like stand off
with job for the court.

The County treasurer.

| Cecil is well provided with
county treasurers. Mr.. Crawford,
Treasurer de facto, Mr.. Banks,
Treasurer de jure and Mr.. Drennen
Treasurer eXpectant.
Mr.. Crothers in his letter in reply
to Mr.. Evans opinion of the uncon-
stitutionality of the law says in ex-
tenuation of his act in putting the
law through the legislature.
"To the public, 1 wish to urge
the views which l seriously enter
tain, which is that all valuable
patronage should be taken from the
Commissioners, and placed directly
in the hands of the people, in order
that fitness and integrity should be
the controlling tests in the selection
of Commissioners, rather than their
preferences for Clerk or Treasurer.
The only mistake in the present act
was that the Clerk to the Commits
sioners was not made elective also,
but considering the fact that he
would necessarily handle public
money for which the Treasurer is
alone responsible, we considered it
due to the Treasurer to say who his
assistant should be, and could not
make the clerk elective without
creating new Office.
$50 far as the claim was made
that the Commissioners should APP
point their clerk, we considered
that, as the Commissioners gave no
bond, and were not in any manner
personally responsible for the care
of the public money, that there was
no more reason why they should
appoint the clerk than there is that
the Circuit and Orphans Court
should appoint the clerk and re-
gister."
Attorney General Poe in combat
ting Mr.. Evans adverse opinion to
the law after quoting numerous
decisions in cases he claims are
parallel, concludes his opinion;
"All that the constitutional pro-
vision requires is that the several
sections of the law shall refer to
and be germane to the same subject
matter, which is described in the
title. If this be so, the law is con
sidered as embracing but single
subject, and it is not necessary that
the title shall give an abstract of Its
contents nor need it mention the
means and method by which the
general purpose is to be accomplish
ed. Reitz's case 80, Md. $40.
"Now here the general purpose
Of the Act is to provide for the
election and appointment of a
County Treasurer of Cecil county
and to define the powers, prescribe
the duties and fix the compensation
of that officer and of q deputy whom
he is autholizee to appoint. The
title clearly embraces this one sub

Senator Stewart saws Wall Street

Senator Stewart says Wall Street
would be powerless if it should lose
either the DEMOCRAT or republican
party. 1t requires the two old
parties to defeat the people and
prevent the supremacy of third
party; and it also requires the two
PARTIES to furnish enough members
of Congress and the Executive to do
the bidding of Wall street.

Alpena in the Base Ball League.

There has been considerable in
terest taken by Alpena base ball
enthusiasts during the past month,
in regard to Alpena joining a base
ball league, to be composed of clubs
in various cities of northern Mich
igan, and last Wednesday an organ
ization was perfected through the
efforts of Charles Stein, base ball
expert, who has been selected as
manager of the proposed club to
represent this city. The officers
selected are as follows:
Observation-Disclosures Harshaw.
Secretary-Charles II. Park.
Treasurer-John G. Comfort.
Directors--Richard Collins, Ed
ward Ever, H. G. Eddy, +. w.
Hagen and Andrew Shefferman.
The league is to be composed Of
clubs from the following cities of
northern Michigan: Alpena, Che
boygan, Luddington, Manistee,
Muskegon, Petoskey and Traverse
City.
Although the officers were select
ed, and the club organized, it was
decided that the question should
not be fully settled until reserve
fund of five hundred dollars had
been subscribed by the people of
Alpena, to meet any contingency
that may arise, and it was decided
that if the amount mentioned would
be pledged, then the players would
be engaged, and during the coming
summer a series Of games would
take place in this city, between the
Alpena club and the clubs from the
other cities in the northern Michi-
gan league.
In addition to entertaining the
people with base ball games, the
club will do a great deal towards
advertising this city, and making
the name Of Alpena much more
familiar to the outside world.

board last evening committee was
appointed to enter into contract
with Robert Rea and c. H. Wiltse,
for the construction of a dam on
the site which Frank limerick deed
ed to the village last week. The
site is west of the saw mill, and
consists of four acres, which is con-
sidered ample for a dam and mill.
The construction of the mill will be
commenced as soon as the timber
can be got on the ground, and will
be three stories high, equipped with
a complete roller system and have
a capacity of fifty barrels per day"
There is also a prospect of the cree
ton of a staye and heading mill.
The parties interested in the latter
say they can haul the slaves and
heading to shipping point cheaper
than they could float the logs down
the river. We trust Hillman will
secure both the above mentioned
Industries.

Hibernian Banquet.

The sixth annual banquet given
by the Ancient Order of Hibernians,
in honor of the patron Saint of Ire
land, st. Patrick, was fittingly cele-
brated in st. Bernard's Hall Monday
evening. The banquet was partak-
en- Of by about 300 people. The
tables were tastely decorated, and
profusely laden with all the delica-
cies Of the season.
After the eatables had been
thoroughly discussed, NJ O'Brien,
as toast-master, called upon Rev.
Father Flannery, to respond to the
first toast of the evening, 1.-THE Day
we Celebrate" which the reverend
gentleman handled in his usual
mastery manner. The next toast
on the program was "Catholcs in
American History" which was re-
sponded to by James Collins, and
the grace with which that gentle
man disposed of his somewhat diff
cult subject showed careful prepara-
ton and a thorough research of
ancient history.
The third toast of the evening,
"United States" responded to by
James Mcnamara, was a very elc-
quent address, and delivered in his
usual forcible style, which bids fair
to rival that celebrated after dinner
orator Chauncey M. Depew.
The fourth toast was "Music and
Poetry of Ireland" by VIM. G..
Monaghan, and was very we'll de-
livered grafton, and touched the re-
sponsive hearts Of many Irishmen
present.
The last toast Of the evening was
"Wm. Ewart. Gladstone" by Geo.
b. Greening, who eulogized the
memory of the "Grand Old Man"
and his many acts in behalf of Ire
land.
Interspersed with the toasts were
a number>of songs by Alpena's tai
ent, Misses Della Kelley and Nellie
Blaney, and L. A. Westrope and

The members of the Y. M. G. A..
basket ball club received notice to
be at the parlors of the Congrega-
tional church last Wednesday ev-
ening, as banquet would be served
them. and Of course the members
responded readily. In addition to a
bountiful menu provided, there was
an intellectual repast, over which
w. A. Prince presided as toastmas-
ter, and was as follows:
"Our Blue side, by A. b. Crow;
"Our Basket Ball Club" by H. r..
Kellogg; "Our Heavyweights," by
Napoleon Lalonde; "Our White
Side," by Will Comstock; sour Fu-
ture," by G. w. Mclean; "Our
Featherweights," by A. B. Potter;
"Our Finances and Assistants" by
George Windross. Such social
gatherings are not only very pleas
ant, but they have great educational
advantages to young men, and tend
to promote friendly feeling among
those who are destined in the future
to take an important part in the
business interests and politics Of the
city.

Friday of last week the Su-
preme Court rendered their decision
regarding the two city charters, and
decided that the last charter is con-
stitutional, and the law of this city.
The decision means that the state
legislature has the power to make
what changes it desires in the laws
for governing a city, and to remove
any official who has been chosen
by the people, without the know
ledge or consent of a majority of
the people. The decision of the
Supreme Court is final, and there
is no appeal from it, but it is mon
strous power, and really takes away
from the people of city, township
or county the power of determining
who their officials shall be, and
gives authority to few men in the
legislature to arrange wards for
mere partisan purposes, regardless
of right or justice. If the legisla-
ture has the right to deprive one Of
fetal of his Office, then it has the
right to replace every official of the
cities, towns and counties with par
tisan creatures of its own. We
consider such action an encroach-
ment on the Liberties of the people.

1t is proposed that public meet
ing be held in the Opera House
some time before the election for a
full discussion of the question of
bonding the county to the amount
of 100000 for improving the coun-
ty roads. As the matter is at pres
emit, the proposition to bond the
county would be voted down, but
the result Of our observations to date
is that the taxpayers are anxious to
learn all they can about the ques-
ton, and are anxious to do what
will be for the best interests Of Al
pena and her future inhabitants.
