Bad Political Capital,

Democrats are striving to make
political capital out of the recent or
der of the Board of Education pro-
viding for the appointment of another
teacher in the Fourth Ward.
We are sorry they have raised the
question, but do not propose to dodge
the issue. 1t is well known that few
er pupils are enrolled in the Fourth
Ward than in the Second, the exact
number being-Second, 286; Fourth,
224. According to the enrolment
the Second, if any, is entitled to the
extra teacher, but-what a pity we
cannot stop with the dash-but the
Fourth Ward has a Democratic prin,
cipal and the lower grades are crowd
ed while his room has small number
of pupils. Such has been the case
for the past two or three years and
possibly more Now, let it be re-
membered that we do not wish to be
understood as rejecting upon Mr.
Dodd. So far as we know he is Z
first class teacher. But when a Re
publican Board of Education favors {
Democratic principal, by giving him
an extra teacher, when his enrolment
is below that of other schools, the
charge that the Board is squandering
the peoples money comes with very
poor grace from Democrats. When &
party has no better argument to ad
vance, it should go to mapping stone
in opposition to the stone crusher, OF
some other legitimate employment.

VERY BRIEF
Is Mr.. Janney's Reply to Mr.. Gosorn's
Last Effort.

Last Effort.
To the Editor of the Herald
In your valued paper of Oct. 10,
Mr.. Gosorn has seen fit to introduce
my name in nearly every paragraph
of his communication. This gives
me more notoriety than had reason
to expect, but lam possessedof vanity
enough to profoundly thank him fol
it.
shall only notice one or two points
in his communication. First, he adj
mits that he poses as a Joker when
asking questions for information Of
what he believes to be of a visionary
character, and gets in deep waters
after sea serpents and mermaids, and
the location oflively specimens of the
will-o' -the-wisp. This reference es.
tablishes the fact that his claim tc
joker is indisputably verified. When
he found that he cannot nathemati-
cally refute the per capita claim, he
sees fit to call it fooAisAness. I beg to
call his attention to the fact that the
administration, whether in the hands
of Republicans or Democrats, has
seen fit to publish in its annual re-
ports the per capita circulation. They
have gone farther, they publish III
their monthly reports the same in
formation giving the estimated popu-
lation in each publication. q,
Since the writer has made his ac-
acknowledgement that his writing was
joke, as my efforts were on a dis
tinctively opposite base, and believ-
ing the question to be one of profound
gravity, feel that it will be useless to
take any further notice of his remarks.
Respectfully,
TOJN II TANrNfSy

There are those who imagine that g
party paper must support every per.
son who thinks he wants an off ce,
no matter what his fitness or former
conduct. A most pertinent object
lesson in the opposite direction is the
course pursued by the Baltimore Sun
during the campaign now drawing to
close in Maryland. This brilliant
luminacy, which for the past 81 years,
in season and out of season, has advo-
Gated the principles of the party OF
Jefferson and Jackson, finding that the

to boldly denounce them and strive for
purity in politics. The Sun is right.

"I WILL KISS THE STARRY FLAG. -
AS a Maiden She Would Not Do It.,
But as Widow She Surren-
dered

dered.
Messrs. Oehm & Co. have Just
completed fine silk flag on a
special order to which is attached
pretty romance.
A few years ago after the close
OF the war young man living in
suburb of Boston, Mass, conveyed
his invalid sister to the Hygea
Hotel, at Old Point Comfort, hoping
the genial climate would aid in the
restoration of her health. The
orphan children and only heirs of
a wealthy leather magnate with
interests in the great tanneries at
Salem and leather houses in Boston,
! they had abundant means to enter
tain in lavish style, and soon were
the centre of a select circle at the
noted resort.
Among the most intimate friends
they won by their hospitality was
a Maryland girl of much grace and
beauty, who was that seasons belle
at Old Point. The young New
Englander courted her assiduously,
but as she boasted that she was "a
little rebel" and "would never wed
a Yankee" he postponed the ''pop-
ping of the question:" However,
before parting he frankly told her
that she had stolen his heart and
he would never wed another.
eff you can ever kiss the starry
flag" were his parting words to
her, 'I will fly to you from any
part of the world"
'I never can," was retorted with
laughter.
Years passed away. The young
mans sister kept in correspondence
with the charming Marylander,
and finally came the news that she
was married. He plunged into
literature, the resort of Bostonians;
travelled on the Continent; went
around the world a restless wan
derer; never forgetting his vow "to
marry no other than she." He
haunted Old Point, season after
season, hoping to catch a glimpse
of the eyes that had fascinated him,
and year ago heard that she was
a widow, childless aud penniless.
Through his invalid sister he con-
veyed to her, after the lapse of
several months, a message that
brought to him a few days ago this
reply, while he was in Baltimore
on his way home:
81 will kiss the starry flag"
Immediately he went to Oehm &
Co., and ordered an elaborate flag
made-"one worthy to be kissed by
Il queen'-and hastened to an old
mansion near Washington, where
the young widow was sojourning.
"Hold it till wire for it," was
his order.
The flag is now on exhibition at
Oehm's Acme Hall, gracefully
draped in one of the Baltimore
street windows, and it is expected
that in a short time the romance
will eliminate in a nuptial event
that will occur under its folds, as
the following dispatch is pasted on
the glass in front of the flag:
"Washington, d. c.,
March 2S, 1895.
Cochin & Co., Baltimore, Md:
"Send flag April 10.

The flag is of the heaviest silk,
one of it's characteristics being that
the stars and stripes are woven into
it, instead Of being sewn in, the
usual Baltic. News.
