NO CARS YET.
Officials Do Not Know When to
Expect Them and More Costly
Delay is Caused = Every
thing Else in Readiness.

"NO, the passenger coaches have not
yet arrived and we have heard moth
ing definite at all from them. We
cannot say when they will arrive in
Frederick"
The aforegoing answer was given us
in response to an inquiry relating to
the arrival of the motor cars, which
have long been ordered, promised and
declared shipped, but yet seem as far
from getting here as ever. Nothing in
the way of transportation can be &C
complished without them. The di-
rectOrs do not understand the embar-
RAISING delay of the manufacturers and
went to the expense of sending repre-
sentative to look after their immediate
shipment. Nothing has been heard
from the cars and the company do not
know what to make of the matter.
Every thing is in readiness to go ahead
with the road. Mr.. BOsIey has his
generating machinery in position and
only needs the word to send the cur
rent of electricity cOursing over the
wires. People are anxiOusly awaiting
the starting up of the road and had it
been in operation these hot days the
company would have reaped a rich
harvest. We hope in our next issue to
be able to describe the opening of the
Frederick and Middletown Electric
Railway to public travel.
WOrkmen are now engaged in fixing
up the streets where much tearing up
was done. There is a very dangerous
place where the track goes over the
West Patrick street bridge, and vehi-
cles approaching from the far side to-
wards Market street, need to be very
careful. There should be a light sig
nal placed there at night to warn those
who do not know of the danger. But
the sooner it is fixed the better.

Want an Independent Monetary
System.
(Ellicott City Times.)

(Ellicott City Times.)
Our gold bug friends are predicting
dire disaster in the event of Bryan and
Sewall's election. This is not the first
time gloomy pictures have been drawn
on the eve of new aud important eras.
When railroads " ere under discussion
in Parliament many years ago the pre-
diction was broadly made by noted
statesman that the best interests of
England would be ruined by the in
PRODUCTION of the steam engine, because
it was promised that they would speed
along at the rate of fifteen miles an
hour. Great men are differing on the
question at issue. 1t may be regarded
as movement of the people after all
the promises of the gold bugs have
failed. There is a suspicion abroad
that the people are in some way being
squeezed; that there is a silent but
powerful influence working against
them which the people propose to IN
vestigate. We want monetary sys-
tenn independent of the world if posi-
BILE, and it looks IS if the American
people are about to try the experiment
come what will.

Partisan Politics in our School
Boards.
Cecil Democracy

Cecil Democracy
The most of the School Boards
throughout the State organized this
week. In a number of them there were
decided changes owing to the introduce
ton of new members recently appoint
ed by Governor Lowndes.
The desperate effort made by the Re-
publicans to obtain control of the
School Boards has been generally no
ticed and commented upon. In direct
violation of their campaign pledges
they no sOoner got into power than
they sought by every possible means
to throw the entire public school sys-
tenn of the State into the depths of par
tsan politics.
Those appointed as School Commits
sioners were chosen more with view
to advance the interests of certain pol
iticians, apparently, than to maintain
the present excellent condition of the
public school system of the State.
Wherever these men have obtained
seats in school boards they have pro-
ceeded to unsettle the existing condi-
tions so far as they have been able, to
ADVANCE the interests,Of the Republican
party in general and the faction to
which they belonged in particular, to
the manifest Injury of the school sys-
tenn.

Nearly q Runaway.

Considerable excitement was created
at the corner of Patrick and Court
streets, last Wednesday evening, by
the wild efforts of horse belonging to
Mr.. Calvin r. Mutt, of Prospect Hall,
to free himself from the buggy to
which he was hitched and run away.
Somethin frightened the animal and
the colored boy whom Mr.. Mutt left in
charge could not restrain him. Fortu-
nately he was in the immediate vicin-
ity and noticing the peculiar actions of
his horse ran to the scene and succeed
ed in grasping the rein just in time to
prevent more serious results. In its eff
forts to get away the horse was thrown
down several times and the buggy was
overturned. A large crowd gathered
and willing hands lent assistance. No
of any moment was sustained.

the Assault and That They
are Innocent.

Messrs. Mcbride and Thomas charge
