Our Fences Need Fixing.

With the assurance that the pres
ent Legislature will pass an assess
ment bill it becomes highly i'm
portant that Garrett county know
where her lines are and the extent
of her territory.
The act creating a division of
Allegany county, passed in 1872,
provided that the division line
between Allegany and the proposed
county of Garrett should begin at
the mouth of Savage river and run
thence to the highest point on Great
Savage mountain where it was
crossed by the Mason & Dixon line.
We are informed that the line
provided for never was run or that
in running it the surveyor did not
go to the highest point on the Say
age mountain, and as a result the
matter has never been settled to
the satisfaction of either county.
This has had the effect of creating
a disputed territory on our eastern
boundary somewhat similar in char
acter to the contention now before
the Supreme Court Of the United
States between Maryland and West
Virginia with regard to our western
boundary.
Large areas of valuable mineral
and timber lands lie in this disputed
zone and we believe that Garrett
county has been the looser of thou
sand of dollars in taxes which be-
long to and should have been COL
lected by her on tins property. In
view of the above facts we do not
see how proper and intelligent as
sessment of either Allegany or Gar
rett counties can be made until the
line as originally provided for snail
have been established and settled.
To us it seems highly proper that
the people of this county should
urge upon their representatives the
Importance of having an act passed
to settle this question. The County
Commissioners should also take an
interest in this matter because we
are confident that thousand of dol
lars will be added to the taxable
basis If the line is properly run.

words as these: "The people are
growing weary of the Democratic
party. They are out of patience
with it because of it's lnefficiency,
its cowardice. its lack of principle
and consistency, and imbecllIty.'
A political organization which to
a lack of principle adds inetficlency,
cowardice and mbecihty, is
manifestly unfit to govern a
prize fight. Having been out of
power so long that a generation had
arisen which knew it not and was
unwilling to learn of it from the
elders, that organization was shrewd
enough to bunco the people and get
control of the government. 1t has
been i'll command for less than a
year, and in that time it has made
record of disaster. Being INSULT
cient, cowardlv, imbecile and with
out principle, what better could
have been expected of it? A pea
nut stand could not be run success
fully without more back of it than
this.
When the late George William
Curtis, then the accomplished edi-
tor of Harper'S Weekly. said in 1884
that the Democracy was "a party
without single redeemlng princl-
ple," he said in effect just what
Harper's Weekly says ten years
later. The Democratic party has
not changed its Interchangeable ma
ture; and those who like Harper's
Weekly and Mr.. Curtis in his time,
who have been trying to make it the
subject of miracle of grace, may
as well give up the effort.

reconstruction.

THE FEAR has been expressed
that in some of the more feverish
Democratic quarters of the earth
the closing performance in the
House on the tariff debate would be
accepted as a model and a prece-
dent. 1t seems that the somewhat
exhuberant enthusiasm of the gen.
tlemen who seized Hon. VIM. L.
Wilson, lifted him to their shoulders
and carried him about triumphantly
like banner or parlor stove, are
now regarded by many of their
compatriots as statesmen of extra
ordinary talent and perception. 1t
is not impossible to sympathize in
this view of the matter. The occa-
sion was exciting. The great audi
forum was full to sutfocation;
beautiful and wealthy women
thronged the floor; the very atmos-
phere sizzled with electricity. The
time seemed ripe for hvperbole.
The opportunity called for horse
play. 1t is comforting to reflect
that the precedent cannot be
adopted by all political sects. There
is the Hon Thomas Bulky Reed for
instance, who may again become
the leader of his party on a majority
in the House. He may easily Gre
ate furore and make. the echoes
groan and rumble. But he will be
lifted on no mans shoulders and
be made ridiculous by no unnatural
elevation. He may be the Moses.
the Solomon, the David and the
Joshua of his party, but never at
his present weight, its BALKAN.

The Hawaiian Mess.

The Hawaiian policy of the ad-
ministration is nauseous dose to
the Democrats in Congress, but
party necessity compels them to
swallow it. The case is a remarka-
bic exhibition of the power of an
administration and the strength of
party discipline. What makes the
dose more bitter is that it was con-
cocted by renegade Republican.
Secretary Gresham's remarkable be-
havior Can be accounted for only on
the ground that spite against Pres
ident Harrison blinded HIM. In
stead of dealing with the situation
as he found it, he undertook to
review and reverse the acts done by
a previous administration. The
result was signal instance of fall
ing into the pit digged for another,
as his crazy undertaking has been a
series of grotesque and humiliating
blunders.
Queen Lils obstinacy was great
piece Of Cleveland luck, for it pre-.
vented the monarchical restoration
whose accomplishment would have
damned the administration The
breakdown of the original program
enabled the administration to I'M
load the dirty business on Congress
and as soon as the Democratic party
finishes its work as Gresham's soul
lion, the matter will be disposed of.
The stain Of it will however remain
and constitute an ugly bIemish on
the party record. ...

The Late John C. Brant.
46-td

John G. Brant departed this life
February 3, 1894, at Elk Garden,
aged "a years, eleven months and
three days. He was well known in
Mineral, Garrett and Allegany
counties, where he spent most of
his long life. Deceased was never
known to violate a contract and his
fervent hope of a blessed reward be-
yond the grave made him willing
and rather anxious to quit this life.
Several months before his departure
he appointed his son, G. E. Brant
as his executor without bond with
almost unlimited powers over all
his property. He was much es-
teemed in Elk Garden.

great debate on the Wilson Tariff
bill, which has occupied the atten-
ton of the House for four weeks,
closed to-day with an unrlvalled
burst of oratory. Crisp, Reed and
Wilson, the giants of the House,
came forward in the closing hours
to prosecute or defend the great
issue--the Inauguration of new
economic system in the greatest re-
public of the world.
Attracted by the anticipation of
the field dav and the speeches of the
leaders, the Washington populace
turned out en- masse to witness it,.
Long before 10 O'Clock the public
galleries, the "bleachers" of the
American forum, were black with
people. Behind the seats, banked
against the doors and walls, were
others straining to get sight of
the arena. The reserved galleries
also were thronged, and even i4a>the
Presidents gallery there was not a
vacant seat. The crowded CALLER
les looked down upon sea of faces.
THE BILL REPORTED.
Speaker Crisp assembled the ros-
trum and the gavel was passed to
him. Richardson moved around to
the area in front of the speaker S
chair, and, according to the par
liamentary formula, reported that
the committee of the whole had
under consideration House bill
4864-the Tariff bill-and reported
it to the House with sundrv amend
ments. The speaker then an
nounced that three hours would be
allowed for closing debate. The
chair recognizes the gentleman
from Name" SAID the speaker,
with a last rap of the gavel for or
der.
Mr.. Reed rose from the center of
the Republican side amid the wild
cheering and hand-clapping of the
galleries and the huzzas Of his party
friends about him. Mr.. Reed
frowned and shook his head as
though the demonstration was dis
tasteful to him. He waited for the
applause to cease. Standing in the
aisle, clad in long Prince Albert
coat, with head erect and defiant,
he looked the physical and intel
lectual giant that he is. He began
to speak at last, slowly and deliber-
ately, in the voice that has become
so familiar to the people. There is
an aggressiveness in Mr.. Reed s
speech which counts far morn than
rhetoric. He spoke to-day with his
back to his friends. and his face to
the foe across the aisle. Save for
his ringing voice, the drop of pin
could have been heard.
EX-sPEAKER REEDS SPEECH.
Mr.. Reed, in opening his speech,
said: "In this debate, which has
extended over many weeks, one re-
markable result has already been
reached, a result of the deepest i'm
portance to this country. That
result is that the bill before us is
Odious to both sides of the House.
1t meets with favors and commands
in the respect of neither party. On
this side we believe that while it
pretends to be for protection it does
not afford it, and on the other side
they believe that while 1T looks to-
ward Free Trade, it does not
accomplish it
"Those who will vote against this
bill will do so because it opens our
markets to the destructive compe-
tition Of foreigners, and those who
vote for it do it with a reservation
that they will instantly devote
themselves to a new crusade against
whatever barriers are left. 1t is
evident that there is no ground for
