PLANS FOR REFORM
Reassessment to Come Before the
Maryland Legislature.
CONTROL OF THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS
Senator Jones on the Probability Of
a Silver Party.
MIR CANNON ON THE OUTLOOK

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
BALTIMORE, Md, November 9.-Now
that Marylanders have become somewhat
accustomed to the idea of republican domi-
nation in the next legislature, the probable
acticn of that body certain questions
agitated during the campaign is basis of
general conjecture. 1t is reported that
among the first acts of the general assem-
bly, will be the passage of an assessment
LII.
This measure, it is said, while not pro-
viding for such a drastic change the
Hayes bill proposed, will give the people
q new assessment, which will be decided
step in the desired direction, and a great
contrast to the existing laws.
Another reform will be the repeal Of all
laws in force regarding the public schools.
At present the governor has a tremendous
power in the appointment Of school COM
missioners all over the state, a power
which has been built up gradually for
years by previous legislatures, who deter
mined that all danger of local selection OF
school commissioners in the republican
counties. and especially in southern Mary
land, where the blacks outnumber the
whites, should be wiped out.
These laws will be repealed and the coun-
ties themselves will be allowed to have a
voice in the selection of their school COM
Senator Washington Wilkinson of St
Marys was in town this morning. and
told The Star correspondent that he was
heartily in favor of repeating the law
which necessitates the selection of a
United States Senator from the eastern
shore. Mr. Wilkinson said that he favor
ed the election of James A. Gary of Balti
more county as the successor of Mr.. Glib
son. Mr. Gary, Senator Wilkinson safd
had done more to preserve the organization
of the republican party In Maryland than
any one else. The honor of being the first
republican in the United States Senate from
this state for a generation should be his.
Mr.. Phillips l.. Goldsborough of Dorches
ter, who twice carried his county for the
republicans, and who is one of the most
conspicuous eastern shore aspirants for
Mr.. Gibsons seat, was in town this morn
ing. To The Star correspondent, Mr.. Colds
borough said that he thought the ambition
to become United States Senator was
laudable ore, and that should he be chosen,
he would fully appreciate the honor
Many eastern shore men favor Mr.. Colds
borough as Senator GibsOn's successor.

The Republican Difficulty.

1t is anticipated that the fight for the re-
publican nomination will begin earlier and
wax warmer because of the walk-over that
seems in prospect. Mr.. Reed will probably
discover this when the work Of Congress

Cyclone In Surry County.

Durham Sun.
A destructive wind, rain and
hail storm passed aver t h e
West field section Of Surry
county ii few days ago.
The storm did much dam
age and assumed the proper
tions of a cyclone-demolish-
ing timber, wreckius orch
ards and leveling fences. Thir
ty-three apple trees were
blown down on one place.
The hail was phenomenal and
was several inches deep. Three
cows and several sheep were
killed by lightning. Mr.. John
Joyce had Il tobacco barn de
stro.y?d. MIR. Henry Haymore
was blowing when the storm
came up. A flash OF lightning
stunned him somewhat and
caused his mule torun away.
He had the lines wrapped a
round his hand and he was
dragged some distance, there
by inhicting serious injuries.
The wheat crop, in the
path of the storm, was bad

were beat in the ground. 70
bacco plants were also seri-
ously injured.

a matter OF doubt, and could
not be unless he had be cen

will certainly pass from the

that once on the ret tired list

SCHOOLSAND TEACHERS,

Mr.. Editor: 1t does not re-
|quire IL lengthy article to
prove to the average mind
that a good high school of
the right character would be
an elevating and moralizing
factor in moulding worthy
citizens out of the material
80 common and good in
our county.
Everything in nature has
its rise and fall. The seas
ons change. The tides ebb
and flow. The moon wakes
and wanes. Such seems to
have been the condition OF
the educational feeling of our
people as indicated by the
condition OF our schools.
The high tide IS gone and we
are waiting for it's coming a.
gam. 1t will come no doubt
by the natural order OF
things. but may we not has
ten it's coming by rekind-
lingthe educational feeling il
onr breasts and working for
a revival Observation-Disclosures
est in our dear old county.
Do we need some eXhorter
co thunder in our ears the
benefits that will accrue
from the proper education
OF children. Do we need
some leader tD shout the
watch word and then all fol.
low? | cannot say whet her
the people need aronsemrnt
or whether they need move
ment. but one thing ! do
know, there was not n school
in the county last year that
was considered worthy the
support of twenty five or
more of our best boys and
girls.
May mot briefly point out
what appears to me to be
a few OF the many reasons
iOy such q state of affairs.
|. There is a wrong idea
OF what it takes to consti
tUtp II good teacher,
l. A good tacher, as some
think must be composed Of
more than the usual amouut
of gas. II he cannot oyer
rate his ability as a teacher
and the advantages his
school offers, he cannot
draw pntl onage.
9. A good tea"her must
be n good drummer and
spend the greater part OF his
time drumming for his school
DO people want TO make
drummers out OF their chill
dren when they send them to
school or do they want to
make scholars? Scholarship
and drumming are not congo
nial friends and are seldom
the guests OF the same host.
IL. The people have Il
wrong idea of what good
teaching is.
/. A great number of boar
ders constitute, III the eyes OF
some, a good school. Truth is
bourders are essential TO he
success Of u school of hugh
grade, yet there is no reason
for saying that a school is
good because there are a
number OF boardcrs. Boar
ders are often IL rough class
OF students and give the
school and community a
great deal of trolble.

SuperIntendents Stapleton and
Kern Say the Guests VIII Be En-
tertained by Dance-The
Annual Vacation.

Professor F. L. Kern of the Butte
schools came over yesterday to arrange
quarters for the delegation of teachers
from that city who expect to attend
the meeting of the State Teachers as
ISOLATION, which will meet here Dec. 26
and "a.
He found the supply of rooms avail
able very limited. The Montana hotel
has but few rooms reserved for tran
sients and the Commercial hotel has
room for but few, and unless the cit
liens of town open their doors the Wis
itors will have to be taken care of at
the hotels, as occurs during the races,
when hunks are spread in the parlors.
This sort of an arrangement does very
well for men who ere comfortable when
given a pair of blankets and a pillow.
but to ask the schoolmarms to make
quarters in the same way would be to
work a hardship. Repeated calls have
been made for citizens having spare
rooms which they could rent for these
two nights to send word to Professor
Stapleton to that effect, but the re-
sponses have been few, and the COM
mittee is worried about what to do
with the guests expected. According to
the advices received by Professor Sta
pleton 160 teachers are coming, and IL
this be true, Anaconda viii have the
ever been held in the state.
This is the only vacation that the
teachers get during the year in which
they have any playtime, and they will
make the most of 1t.
Caring for the teachers is not the
least of the committees troubles; the
revivalS meetings which have had the
Auditorium engaged every night for
two weeks will still hold the fort and
Dixey on the boards at the opera house
and no room is available which will
afford seating capacity for the audi
ence, such as should and would well
come the teachers under other circum-
stances.
A part of the programme will there
fore be postponed until Friday evening,
when a short session will be held in
the opera house, before the reception
hour.
1--WE are going to have that ball,
whether we have any other part of the
programme or not" said Professor Sta
pleton. 1.-The teachers will not be COM
PEELED to dance. Those who have scru-
Piles against dancing will be entertain
ed in the parlors and we will try to
give them pleasant social time. The
protest of the preachers is in very bad
taste and their remarks border upon
insult to the ladies of the state, who
will be the guests of the city upon this
occasion"
These annual receptions" chimed in
Professor Kern, have been in the past
the pleasantest sessions of the associa-
tion, and / am very much surprised at
the action of the Anaconda preachers,
who are gentlemen for whom 1 have
the highest respect. The dances have
been purely social and have been at
tended by ministers and leaders in the
churches in the past, and 50 far as the
morality of the event is concerned, /
could see no improperly in the pro-
ceedings being opened by prayer, for
the nature of 1t is purely social and for
quaintance of the people thus gathered
together"

A deal was consummated yesterday.
the announcement of which will be
of considerable interest to many people
both in Butte and Anaconda. For
many years one of the most prosper
Gus saloon houses in the state of Mon
tana has been that conducted by Bar
ney Mckinley, for Moorehouse e. AL
bertson, on North Main street, Ana
conda. A short time ago Mr.. McGinley
retired from the management of that
place to go TO Butte. Yesterday James
Johnson of this place and Joseph Har-
mon of Butte. purchased a half interest
in the business from Moorehouse &
Albertson. Hereafter the business will
be conducted under the personal man
agement of Messrs. Harmon and john
son. Many hundreds of people in this
city have been identified in a business
way with Mr.. Johnson. His reputation
for integrity and honesty is well known
in this community, and business under
his management in this place is as
sured of a liberal patronage. He has
thousands of personal friends In these
regions who will be desirous of assist
ing in his success. The opening of the
place under the management OF the
new firm will take place this evening
