As the the time is drawing
near to select candidates to repre-

the Democratic party to select the

will not leave anything undone
that is. possible for them
to carry the next election. There
fore we think that the Democracy
should put forward their best men
and then work to elect them and
not let the Democratic banner tran

The published determination Of
the Wilkinson county merchants
not to furnish corn to any planter
after January, 1896, is attracting
good deal Of notice throughout the
State. The Woodville Courier
thus comments on the matter:
"We wish to express our hearty
approval af this course. While
there is a possibility-we may say
probability-that some few farmers
will suffer, the large majority will
be vastly benefited. There are
some who will pay no attention to
this office; others will look upon
1t as a threat; and still others will
misconstrue it; but the country
will be 500 per cent better off in
1897 than in 1895, if this policy is
adhered to. Not only the people,
but the merchants themselves will
/ be benefited.
'In many counties in the State
the people are, and have been,
raising their own bread and meat
for several years, and the people
all have money. We take only

at home has been more generally

A Superfluous Power.

In concluding his address at the
State Teachers Association, the presi-
dent, M. Bates Stephens, said
They (the public schools) do not need-if
they are fit to live they cannot need-any
organized bands of self appointed defenders
bound together by secret, proscriptive oaths.
They must turn in every danger to the whole
people for defense and look in every need to
the whole people for support.
This is a trenchant thrust at the
Pharisaic striplings who have loaded
themselves to the waters edge with
responsibility for the perpetulty of the
system, Bible reading, etc, but who
have pever felt even featherweight
of school taxation.
What the schools most need to carry
out their benign mission fully is money
enough money to keep every school
open ten months of the scholastic year
For this the authorities must go to
the property of the people-not to the
preamblers. resolutionists and flag
raisers.

"A Case DOubIy in Point,

In Baltimore the opposition of John
E. Cullimore to the erection of a
grammar school building was effective,
and Mr.. Cullimore may now be re-
garded as fit subject for A. p. A.
discipline.
Or, if he lived at Homecoming he
would have to shuttle along under the
ban which the Recieao imposes on all
who oppose high schools.
So much for Mr.. Culimore.
Now for Mr.. Yewell, the owner of
the lot.
Judge Dennis stopped the grammar
school enterprise because Francis E.
Yewell, who is a city councilman, had
no right under the State Constitution,
section 5, article II, to lease the lot to
the city, and, moreover, that the city
has no right to accept lease from
him.
This provision, it is true, applies
only to the city of Baltimore, but
what is good organic law for the city
ought to be good in spirit in the town.
Coming closer home-there is a
prohibition against county commits
sioners selling goods to the county, or
even of being interested in anyone
else's contract with the county.
So it ought to be in the town.
In other words, the Frostburg Flee
trio Light company, for instance,
should have had no councilmanic hand
In the making of a contract with the
town and no councilmanic voice in the
ratification of that contract.

Increase compared with last year -. 446, 453
The soft coal trade of the country shows no
particular signs of improvement so far as the
price obtained is concerned, but there is a
large tonnage being mined in all directions,
and this tonnage is going forward to places
OF consumption, and quite generally for i'm
mediate use. In fact, by the tonnage reports,
it would seem that in spite Of the many
strikes and long idleness during the current
year, that the bituminOus output IN the coun-
try during 1895 will be the greatest on record
The prices at which this bituminolls coal can
be had, warrant no cause for complaint on
the part Of the manufacturers in this coun-
try, so far as their fuel supply is concerned.

Regular Meeting.


present when Clerk Armstrong called
the roll for the July meeting last Mon
day evening.
The building Ordinance was read a
second time.
On motion of Mr. Schofeld, Ordi-
nance was laid on the table until next
regular meeting.
The application of Charles G, Wat
son for town surveyor was read.
Mr.. Ort moved that the application
be referred to the st. Get committee.
Mr.. Anthony thought that a matter
as important as that should be de-
cided at once by Council and not
referred to any committee.
Mr.. Ort withdrew his motion
Mr.. Smeltz moved that Council ac-
cept Mr.. Watson's application for sur
veyor at S. per day for actual service
Carried.
Light committee reported that Flee
trio Light company had agreed to
give light from II o'clock, midnight,
during the Firemen's Convention,
which they had done.
Treasurer Schofeld reported having
borrowed $1,000, from the Citizens
National Bank to pay interest on
bonds.
Mr.. Smeltz requested E. S. Corbett
to state whether he had his bond ready
to fill contract.
Mr.. Corbett withdrew his bids.
The bids of the Gas company and
the Electric Light company were again
read,
Mr.. Ort's motion to accept the bid
Of the Elecric Light company, made
at last meeting, was taken up.
Mr.. Schofield thought lamps could
be changed and gas lamps placed.
Mr.. Smeltz said that if Electric
Light company would strike out "a
arc lamps, Council could work better.
He did not like to be bound down to
any certain number of lights.
Mr.. Anthony asked whether bid
would give bidders exclusive right to
light the town?
Mayor thought not.
Mr.. Anthony said that they could
dispense with several large ares in the
outlying streets.
Mr.. Smeltz moved, as substitute to
Mr.. Ort's motion, that Council reject
all bids and make what arrangements
they see fit to light the town.
Mr., Anthony then cited the churches,
all of which had to have gas because
they could not depend on the electric
light. 1t would not do to give all the
patronage to the electric light people.
Besides, the ares in his part of the
town were very unsatisfactory. They
had been promised better light for
three years, but still the ares were no
better than lanterns.
Mr.. Ort said that he was on the
Light committee and the people in
some parts of the town complained
that they got nothing for the taxes
they paid and wanted light. He
thought they could not do with less
than 81 ares.
The Mayor sad there is a clamor all
over town for light. 1t is quite the
style. People wanted arcs because
others had them, but he thought the
town could do with a less EXPENSIVE
light in some parts.
Mr.. Smeltz's motion was then sub.
mitted and the Mayor called for the
aye and nay vote:
AYeS-Anthony and Smeltz
Nays-Betz, Ort, Schofeld and Price.
The original motion was then sub
mitted:
