OUR COUNTY SCHOOLS.

We are indebted to School Exami-
ner John d. Worthington for a copy
of the Report of the Public Schools of
Maryland for the year ending July
31st, 1898. The total receipts of the
Hartford School board, from all sour
ces, during the year for which the re-
port is made, were $5S, 1875, of which
81, $50 II were from book fees. Har-
ford had 112 schools open, with 100
teachers. The average yearly salary
paid teachers was $685.. 0S, being among
the highest in the State outside of
Baltimore city, where the average
was $500. In Baltimore county it
was $4,000; Montgomery, $341.9G;
Queen Anne's, $365.76 Talbot, $34S.71.
Garrett county was the lowest, being
$14655. The average for the counties
was 1921. 33. The average cost of each
pupil in Hartford was $11.04.
School Examiner Worthington paid
1874 official school visits during the
year. The white schools were kept
open 10 months and the colored schools
81 months. The total number of
children OH roll was as follows: Fall
term, 4, 142; Winter term, 5, 172;Spring
term, 4,76S; Summer term, 3,ST. A
comparison of the statistics for Har-
ford with those for other counties
shows that our public schools are
among the very best in the State.
COMING THE SEIGNIORAGE.
The Bland silver seigniorage bill
| passed the Senate, on the 18th instant,
by a vote of "A to 81 The bill simply
provides that the present requirement
of law shall be complied with. The
Philadelphia Times explains the situa-
| ton as follows:
The purchase of silver bullion ceased by the
I action of Congress at the extra session, but
| the purpose of law still remains, that the sill
yer bullion in the Treasury shall be employed
| to redeem the notes issued for this purpose
| OF course it cannot be so used before it has
4 been coined. The present acts directs the
| Secretary to go on and coin it, but provides
| that he shall first coin the seignorage-that
| is, the surplus silver not required for the re-
| demption of the Treasury notes-and that
this, amounting to the fixed sum of $685. 156, 6Sl,
| shall be used in the payment of public expen-
| ditures In other words, limited amount
| of the silver which is now lying idle in the
Treasury while the government is borrowing
money to pay its current expenses is to be
converted into live asset. The Secretary is
| authorized at his discretion to issue certifi-
Gates representing the silver dollars thus pro-
vided for in advance of their actual coinage,
but this is merely matter of convenience, u
silver certificate being simply paper repre-
sentative of SO many silver dollars on hand.
| 1t will be seen that the actual effect of the
present bill is simply to add, within the next
| two years, So, 100000 more to the 100000 0O
| silver dollars now in use

cussed-Election of Officers

cussed-Election of Officers
Reported for The Egis.
The Deer Creek Farmers Club celebrated its
21st anniversary ut the hotel in Churchville,
on Saturday, March 18th, 1894.
In the absence of the President, Mr.. James
F. kenly was called to the chair. The active
members present We're Messrs. William d. Lee
John Moores, w. Beatty Harlan. John B. Wy
song, james W; Hanna, Thomas Lochary, John
5. Webster, Il. E. Swartz and r. Harris Archer
Among the invited guests and honorary men,
beers were Messrs. B. Frank Hanway, A. H
Strasbaugh and S. NJ. Lee.
Az the previous meeting Mr.. Wysong had
been appointed chairman of a committee to
ascertain the views of the County Commission
erS upon the system of road-mending adopted
by the preceding board whether they are III
favor of giving long sections of roads to each
supervisor, or short sections as formerly,
when there were in all about $50 sub-super-
Visors in the county.
Mr.. Wysong, on behalf of the committee re-
ported that he had u talk with the County Com
missioners and from what he could learn from
their remarks he would say that Mr.. Loehary
was undoubtedly in favor of the present sys-
tenn. MIR. Scarborough thought that while
some OF the districts want the present system,
the fourth and fifth would like to return to the
old system. Mr.. Strasbaugh, Mr.. Wysong said.
was undecided as to what would be lest, and
had heard of some complaint against the pres
ent system in the 4th and 9Th districts.
A general discussion followed, in which all
participated in their turn, giving their views as
10 what they had seen and heard of the exist
ing road system. 1t was the unanimous opin-
ion of the active members present that from
their observation and on general business
principles the system adopted and practice
last year is better than the old one, and the
hope was expressed that the Commissioners
would continue the present system until it has
had II fair trial Last year was only the be-
ginning and any mistakes or faults could not
be fairly attributed to the plan but to failure
i'll carrying it out completely.
Some thought it would be good thing to
abolish the Office of General Road Supervisor
and appoint good sub-supervisors to be re-
sponsible directly to the County Commission
ers, who should themselves have a general
oversight of all the roads,
Officers for the ensuing year were elected, as
follows: President, John Moores Secretary
and Treasurer, w. Beatty Harlan.
The next meeting will be at the home of Mr.
i. E. SwartZ. The subject selected for discus
sion is How can farmers derive the greatest
benefit from the application of barn yard and
stable manure, also commercial fertilizers!''

choir, e greeting by the pastor and addresses
by Rev. Joseph T. Kelly and DR.. S. NJ. New
man. Altogether it was one of the most sue
cessful rallies of the local and neighborlng
chapters of the Brotherhood.
Owing to the late arrival of the Baltimore
brotherhood men, who did not reach the city
until O'Clock, the meeting did not begin un-
til Sl5. While waiting for the visitors sew
eral gospel hymns were heartily sung. and
then Prof. Harry G. Kimball played Bach's
Sans Dea as an organ prelude. The Western
Cnurcn cHOlE sang 'JeruSaleIn, ana heY. Dr.

church.
He extended special welcome TO Presby-
terians, and then read letter from Rev

TROOPS TO INDIAN TERRITORY.

Secretary Smith Wants Them Despatched
TO Suppress Lawiess Bands.
Secretary Hoke Smith has requested the
Secretary of War to send troops to the Indian
Territory to suppress the lawless bands which
have been operating there and in the adjacent
country. Accompanying the request was the
communication Secretary Smith received
from the Indian Territory detailing the de-
plorable condition of affairs there
These communications reached Acting Sec
retary Doe at the War Department yesterday
afternoon. and after reading them carefully
he referred them to Gen. Schofeld. command
ing the Army. Gen. Schofeld looked into the
matter and then returned the papers to the
Acting Secretary with suggestion that the
request for the aid of troops be matur9ly con-
sidered. with view to ascertaining the le-
galty OF the proposed action.
This endorsement from so high an author
ity upon the complex relations between the
military and the civil branches Of the govern
ment undoubtedly will cause the War Depart
ment to move with great caution in acting on
this request for troops and in the end may re-
suit in d refusal.
