Does it Mean High Tariff?

A few years ago the people repu-
dated the idea of high tariff, yet
here we are to-day confronted with
the singular spectacle of electing Nc
Kinlev President of the United States,
who was the father of the very tariff
bill which gave us protection. 1t is
but natural to enquire whether the
people have reversed their decision
and are more anxious to have the
high tariff reversed. AS a matter of
course no one voted in the dark on
this question. McKinley's record was
we'll known. Mark Hanna's ideas on
the tariff were well known; the fact
that millio Is were contributed to carry
the election by high protective tariff
clubs was also well known. In the
face, therefore, of all these. facts, why
should we not have the old Mckinley
bill passed by the Mckinley Congress
and tried by the Mckinley admins
tration. Let the people have what
they voted for and we will then see how
the old thing works.

Let the Word be Spoken.

Owing to the erection of new
building for the colored inmates at
Montevue, the Board of Charities and
Corrections, through their efficient SUI
perintendent, Mr.. Derr, have given
very little attention to the important
question of public roads. 1t seems I'M
fortunate that they were obliged to
suspend all operations upon the road
they started many months ago to inn
prove. The entire road from Monte
vue to the city should be piked this
winter, and it will be great mistake
if this is neglected or allowed to go
over for next year. There are plenty
of stone already broken to go a great
way towards completing the road.
Soon our farmers will be through with
their busy work, then horses will be
idle. If general movement could be
made by which all who use the road
would give one or two days hauling,
we would solve the question and have
a splendid road by spring. Who will
move in the matter? Let us have the
teams aud wagons and the road will
soon be finished.

The Beautiful Catoctin-Let us In
vite Capitalists TO Come and
See What We Have.

If we are to bring the attention of
the outside world to Braddock Heights,
we should endeavor to have some of
the capitalists of the country visit our
resort before the spring time comes
again. There are plenty of men in
Baltimore, Washington and Phila-
delphia, who no doubt would be glad
to invest their money in substantial
hotel erected on the Catoctin Heights.
There is no section of country so well
known to the men who participated in
the great battles of Antietam, South
Mountain, Harper's Ferry and Mo-
nocacy. There is no other section
upon which you can stand aud look
down upon the great battle-fields of the
late war, including Gettysburg and
all through to Virginia can be seen
from Catoctin Heights. Far greater
advantages are to be obtained than at
Pen-Mar. The view of both valleys is
sight not often seen from mountain
resort. We are convenient to Wash
ington, Baltimore, Philadelphia and
our sister cities in Pennsylvania. We
have a well-equipped electric road to
the heights and the national pike with
interesting "reminiscences, passes over
into the beautiful little village of Mid
dIetown, then on to South Mountain,
Boonsboro' and Hagerstown. A hotel
with modern improvements and con-
veniences would attract tourists and
others in quest of a lovely summer re-
sort from all parts of the country.
The old soldiers of both armies would
be glad to come and talk of their long
marches and the hard fought battles
of the late war. A hotel of such a
character would cost well near on to a
hundred thousand dollars. A smaller
one, of course, could be built for half
that sum. 1t would be difficult to or
ganize stock company for such an
amount among our people, and there
fore it is that we urge investing CAPT.
talists from abroad to come and look
upon the most desirable site in the
country to-day.

The Tramp Nuisance-Stop it in
Time.

Our citizens will call to mind the
constant efforts we have made to save
them the heavy cost incident to send
ing tramps to Montevue and our Jail.
AT one time our magistrates and cOun-
ty constables cost our taxpayers thou
sands of dollars. For the past five
yeare we had a police justice in the
person of Justice Eckstein, who looked
after the interest of our taxpayers and
saved us thousands of dollars. We re-
greet to say things have already
changed in this department, and we
want to warn our people in time
against the renewal of the old tramp
nuisance. To-day we have more tramps
at Montevue than we have had at any
time, except during the days when
Richardson, Willard, Grove and Hart
sock were sheriffs of the county. Then
our .ails were full and our sheriff7s of
flee cost us fifteen thousand dollars per
annum. The Democratic party put a
stop to this outrage, and in Mr.. Derr's
first term of sheriff the office was so Or
ganized that it cost but three thousand
dollars to the taxpayers. The magis-
trates and ! county constables were
called on to end the practice of look
ing up tramps for the Jail and Monte
vue. Every tramp sent to Jail or
Montevue still costs the taxpayers
from two to four dollars. The county
constable gets his whack, wagon is
hired to take the gentleman out and so
the cost piles up, and the taxparers
quietly sit by and pay the bills. If the
tramps continue as they have COM
menced, we will have more of them
at Montevue than we have ever had in
the history of this institution. The
superintendent puts them to breaking
stone, but this does not keep them
away. This is a serious matter to our
people, and the press of the county is
asked to join us in doingssomething to
put stop to this outrage.

The B. & 0. and It's Great Future
General improvements all Aloug
the Line.

An application has beeu made. by the
Receivers of the b. & o. r. r. to Judge
Morris for an additional amount to be
applied to receivers certificates. Since
Messrs. Cowen and Murray have taken
charge of the affairs of this great cor
poration, a most gratifying change has
been apparent in every department of
the Road. The investigation of the
experts into the affairs of the B. q O.
revealed the fact, that the road was
able to earn its fixed charges, though
it did not earn it's dividends. If the
fixed charges were earned in its demon
allied condition, surely there should
be no question as to the ability of the
road, now that it is in competent
bands and will be placed in first-class
order, both as to its ro1d-bed and rum
ming machinery, to not only continue
to earn its fixed charges, but come near
earning sufficient to pay its dividends.
The b. & o., like many of the other
trunk lines of the country, suffered in
consequence of the general depression
of business and the ruinous competition
in railroads, which existed all over the
county. Cheap transportation has done
great deal to demoralize the railroad
interests. Unfortunately the general
public gains very little by the constant
war that is being made upon railroads;
on the contrary, great loss is entailed
upon the thousands of stockholders,
whose money was obtained to build
these great public thoroughfares. But
few roads in this country surpass the b.
& o. for it's great natural advantages.
The interest it has in the valuable
coal lands of Allegany, is now looked
after by Mr.. G. X. Lord, the efficient
and popular Vice-President in addi-
ton to his other duties connected with
the road. The stock of the company,
which once commanded such high
price, has been depressed through Wall
street spectators, but with the renew
ed prosperity promised and the able
manner in which the road is now man.
aged, we see no reason why better
days should not be in store for the
stockholders. A liberal policy is being
pursued and new life seems to pervade
every department. Long needed inn
provements are being made and others
will speedily follow. The road-bed is
being greatly improved about Martins
burg and every facility for quick and
comfortable travel to the West and to
New York will be given. We look
forward to brilliant future for our
great road. We shall watch and wait
for developments.

Let the Farmers Meet and Talk
Over the Question.

If we are to have any practical bene-
fits from the establishment of the
Farmers Institute, let them start the
movement to have our roads improved
in all sections of the county. There
seems to be prejudice on the part OF
farmers doing anything to improve
the public roads, for the reason, as
many foolishly assert, that they are
taxed to keep the roads up and the
work should be done by the Commits
sioners and their supervisors. Well,
the work is done by the supervisors,
such as it is, but there is no reason why
a neighborhood should not unite in
having some particular road graded
and piked by it's own united efforts.
We know of farmers who refuse to fill
up mud holes in front of their own
gates, because they claim it should
be done by the county. Such
farmers generally show the kind of
men they are; if you go through their
farms you will find things in general
state of decentralization; nothing neat
or tidy-looking about their places, and
in many instances they keep them
selves just about as untidy as they
keep their places. There is class of
Frederick County farmers who, how
ever, feel pride in their county and
take pride in their homes and are
ready to lend a helping hand to secure
improvements by which they and their
neighbors will be benefited; to this
class we urge the necessity of neigh
borhood meetings this winter. Have
ten, twenty, or more, of your neigh
bors meet at one of your homes and
discuss the best methods to improve
their roads. The winter is long, your
horses will be idle and few days
work on your roads will give you last
ing benefits. Just try it in some local
ity and see how quick others will fol-
low your good example.

Reed on the War Path.

Considerable speculation is being in
dulged in by Republicans as to what
the relations will be between the Pres
ident and Speaker Reed. Recently
Speaker Reed passed through Canton,
McKinley's home, without even stop
ping to pay his respects or to extend
his congratulations. During the recent
canvass, Reed, it is claimed, never
mentioned McKinley's name, except
upon one occasion in a speech made
in California. Things may be lively
after all. AS fighter Reed is a cy-
clone. Will it be peace or war?

Speculation is still INDUCED in as to
who will constitute McKinley's cabi-

Hanna can have any position he
wishes. He has been slated for both
the Treasury and Navy Departments.
In January the President-elect will ac-
company Mr.. Hanna to his home in
Townsville, Georgia, where no doubt
the vexed question will be settled. BY
many it is thought that Hanna prefers
the Senate.

there must be some mistake; and the
papers tell us that the miners in the
coal regions of Ohio went out on
a strike last week. Strange, indeed.

IT is the general impression of those
acquainted with the wishes of the Re
publican leaders, that there will be an
extra session of Congress called at once,
to settle the vexed question of raising
sufficient money to run the govern

ed with a most serious problem. A
party divided upon the most vital
question of the day, does not give

Civil Service.

What will our Republican friends do
about the civil service. Nearly all the
positions in the government employ
have been put under the civil service,
and unless there is an open disregard
it is difficult to see how many of the
boys can be cared for under the Nc
Kinley administration. Bryan was
in favor of a change in these positions,
as he did not believe in a life-tenure
in office. The Republican leaders,
however, profess to be in favor of civil
service. We shall see, we shall see.

The Federal offices which President
elect Mckinley will be able to distrib-
ute among the faithful amounts to less
than 5000 offices to be filled by APP

service has cut down the former patron
