There is fair shipping demand in Wheat,

s8A@9oc q ctl for No. quality, with 9114c
for something of choice character. The gen.

look for more active movement in The near

Barley offerings are liberal, though not ex-
cessive. There is fair demand, while holders
are somewhat firm il their views, and values
show strength rather than weakness.
The week has been a fairly good one for
business in Oats, though transactions were
larger at the beginning OF the week than at
the close. There is goodly array OF offerings,
and custom can be readily satisfied. New
California coast Oats are coming forward,
selling at a wide range, say 65c@S1 10 p ctI.
The Vegetable market shows few changes.
Green Corn is scarce. Tomatoes ana Cucunl-
befs are lower. Potatoes and onions are firm
and in good demand.
The hot spell has hurt the fruit consider
ably. Mexican Lines arrived in poor condi-
ton and are held higher. Berries are cheap.

On Wednesday of last week Mr..
George asked to have the bill re
funding Garrett county the April
installment Of 81, 572.01 for school
purposes for 1898 and 1894 taken
up for its third reading, and on his
request being granted had marked
article in the baltimore Argus sent
to the clerks desk and asked to
have it read. The article in ques-
ton is as follows: "a
Among the regulars of the Leg
Islative session the Garrett county
school fund bill turned up this
week like the minute hand of grand
fathers clock. This is an old dodge,
biennially perpetrated, to the injury
of the other counties schools, and
is not only robbery, syst ematic
robbery, Of the school funds, but it
makes the state law a ridiculous
farce. If Garrett county does not
choose to impose a tax upon itself
sufficient to enable it to comply
with the law governing the state
school fund, why should the sena-
tors of other counties be willing to
take the money from their counties
and reward Garrett county, which
for many years to our own knowl-
edge has been evading and viola
ting the school fund law"
On this subject Mr.. George said
among other things; "Mr. Speaker,
| think / would prove recreant 20
the trust confded in me by the
people | have the honor in part to
represent did | not give this House
some idea of the true condition of
affairs in our county, and being
charitably inclined | can but think
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1894-02-01

that the writer of that article was
ignorant of the facts in the case
and if not so, then a man of that
cahbre ought not set himself up as
an educator of the people. 1t has
been asserted that our people ought
to tax themselves so as to keep the
schools open the length Of time re-
CURED by law. The fact is, Mr..
Speaker, that Garrett county is
paying more, according to the tax
able basis, for educating her child
rem than any other county in the
state, and that while several of the
counties are paying but ten and
twelve cents on the one hundred
dollars, Garrett county is paying a
faction over thirty-three cents on
tAe one hundred dollars. There is
no county that is doing so much
for its children according to its
ability as Garrett county, and l
Fesent any imputatlon upon my
>}9ople that seems in the least to
ly that we are robbing any other
..unty in the state of what is their
Gust dues; also | want it distinctly
understood that our people are not
down here holding out the hat so
nmIiciting aims We are simply
demanding our right. While in
1873 we had but ffty-fve school
houses. to-day we have one hundred
and fifteen. We have built thirty
five school houses in the last five
years, and another fact | remember
is that Garrett county is the largest
in area Of any county in the state,
and being sparsely settled, it costs
more in proportion to run our
schools; and yet there are other
counties which pay in great deal
less to the state school fund than
we and yet get double the amount
out that we do. On last night |
took the trouble to look through
the journal of the House and of the
Senate of the different sessions
when a similar bill has been before
the Legislature, and | have failed
to find single negative vote
against this measure. 1t is not
charity, but only just and right aud
| hope and believe that the mem
bers of this House will not vote
against giving back to Garrett
county what has been withheld,
and to which it is justly entitled.

We are glad to see that the peo-

Join in tho march of progress, in
road provement. 1t is said that
the character of the roads is an en-
blem of the civilization of a people.
The best roads in the world are to
be found in France, Germany and
England. In all these countries
the roads early came under the ma
tional su pervision, and this govern
nent aid has made the best roads
in existence.
Good roads are always to be de-
sired, and are a source of comfort
and convenience to all who use
them. They attract a good class of
population, improve land values
and encourage exchange of COM
merce.
We are pleased to note that the
committee recently appointed at
the Farmers Institute to devise
means for the betterment of our
roads, have taken prompt action
and have called public meeting
for the exchange of ideas. This
agitation of the road question will
bring good results, and the men
who are joining their forces to &C
complish the object sought for, are
the leaders Of thought in the sec
tions they represent.
Let the good work go on until
our road-ways are the equal of those
in any land, symbolizing the most
advanced civilization known on the
earth.
