Pardoning Whisky Conyicts.

The pardon by Gov. Lowndes of Joseph
Veasey and Henry Cordes of North East
convicted for violating the local option
law of Cecil county and sentenced to 6
months imprisonment in the House Of
Correction, created good deal of un.
favorable criticism of the governor. The
Appeal who claims to be the governors
lieutenant in Cecil, publishes the letters
and petition with names of the signers
asking the governor to pardon the men.
The letters and spetitions written and
signed by some of the most respected
citizens of the county tell of the hardship
which the prisoners families were suffer
ing and as Shakespear says, "all of which
l know most potently and powerfully tc
be true, but hold it not honesty to have
it thus set down."
The same or similar pleas can be made
for almost every criminal, especially
whiskey criminals. But nothing is said
of the hardships endured by the wive:
and children ofthe dozens of families who
suffer more, perhaps, than the single
family of the rum seller, who in defiance
of law and regardless of the distress o.
other families pursues his crimina
practice.
In such cases the governor ought tc
demand that the distress on both side:
should be laid before him in order that he
could hold the scales of justice at an ever
balance,

The Old Stone SchooIhouse.

The old stone schoolhouse one
mile east of Rising Sun, which has
been the "seat of learning for 100
years, is to be destroyed to make
room for a modern structure, the
life of which is comparatively short.
The old building is in a state of
perfect preservation. The walls as
sound and corners as plumb as the
day they were finished, and all the
old building requires to make it
good as new is some repairs of floor,
windows, etc., and new plaster.
The matter of a hundred or a hun
bred and fifty dollars would make
the old building more substantial
than a new one. The complaint is
that the building is not large
enough to accommodate the chill
dren of the neighborhood. This
objection holds good only for very
short period those opposed to the
destruction of the ancient building
affirm. AT all events by light
expense this could be remedied.
This is no time for piling, even
necessary expenses. on taxpayers, if
it can be avoided even at some sac
rifice. There is a spirit of extrav-
agance abroad apparently in our
county expenses that ought to be
checked.
