About the Chain Gang at Curnber-
land, lid.
The One True Blood Purifier. All druggists. 81.

The mayor Of Cumberland has re-
Gently issued and put into operation
an order in regard to the treatment Of
tfamps, which seems to have proved
a very quick and effective solution of
a problem that had long puzzled the
authorities Of the Queen City. Cum
berland, on account of its many rail
roads and its canal, has long been a
sort of rendezvous or headquarters for
a large number of tramps and va
grants of all classes. Arresting such
people and locking them up in jail,
where they are allowed to remain in
idleness, does no good, does not re-
duee the number, but it does add a
very large sum in the course of a year
to the expense of the county or city
that carries on such practice. The
MARYLAND House of Correction can
hold but very small part Of them, SO
the rest have been allowed to roam
over the State preying upon farmers,
a constant menace to peace ard good
order.
So Cumberland has decided to put
these people at work, ana at hard
work, too. Every tramp who can
give no satisfactory account OF him
self, and who has no visible means
of support, will be put to work on the
streets, and will have chain fasten-
ed to his leg with a ball on the end of
it, to make sure that he does not get
away. This is radical treatment, and
has not been tried in Maryland before,
as far as we know. but it is sure to
cure. No tramp will stay long in a
place where he is made to do such
work as this in such way as this.
Cumberland has by this plan quick
ly solved the tramp problem as far as
Cumberland is concerned, for the va
grants will now steer clear of this city
and 60 elsewhere. 1t will, therefore,
be necessary, if the problem is to be
universally solved, for other places to
adopt similar measures. The whole
matter in nutshell is simply this;
A man who wants 10 live at the pub
lie expense, who can work and won
work, best be made to work News.

The Herald does not wish TO open
old sores, cause i'll feeling, arouse
animosities, or wound the sensibilities
of the Statesman, but it does afford us
exquisite pleasure to announce that a
Martinsburg boy, member of the
Junior Class of the High School, last
year, Philip 4. Shaffer, son of our
esteemed fellow-c citizen, Mr.. Joseph
II. Shafler, who by the way, is a
leading Democrat, has entered upon
the full Freshman course of the West
Virginia University, at Morgantown,
and in addition is assigned to the
Sophomore department in one study.
Mr.. Skaters attainmeuts prove that
it is possible for our boys and girls TO
prepare themselves for college in our
High Schools. 1t also demonstrates
that private school is not necessary
to attain that object, The Herald
not only congratuiates Mr.. Shaffer,
but also Prof. A. B. Carman and all
others who have labored so earnestly
to bring the schools OF the city up to
their presenthigh standing. 1t should
be remembered that Mr. Shaffer is the
first pupil from the High School to
enter the University without prepare
tory training, also, that he is not a
graduate of the High School-only a
junior Other pupils now have great
err incentives to study and we urge
them to put forth renewed efforts
and see to it that Prof Cole is abund-
antly sustained in his work in behak
of the schools, and not hiudered at
every point as was Prof. Carman.

Getting a Good Start.

County Superintendent Snyder is
now visiting the schools and reports
that they are starting off in good
shape. The compulsory law is work
ing admirably. Several teachers re-
port every child between the ages Of
s and "a years in attendance and in
terested in their studies. The new
textbooks are not causing the trouble
anticipated, many OF the schools being
we'll supplied and nearly all Of the
teachers rendering intelligent service.

Those persons who dispute the fact
that a bushel of wheat is worth two
and a half times as much as the
silver in a dollar forget that only
10 per cent of the silver dollar
is intrinsic value and the other
6os per cent faith in the liability Of
the government to redeem all those
dollars with gold Lei that faith be
undermined and the silver dollar will
only be worth its bullion value Such
a condition would arise in case it was
known that the government intended
to adopt the free coinage ideas of the
Popocrats, just as values Of all com
modities diminished when, in 500
and % it was understood that free
trade was to be foisted npon the peo-
pie.

1t has been talked on the streets
that the editor of the Herald wrote
the article published in the World, of
this city, on September 4, relating to
the award made for printing the city
ordinances, which was reproduced in
the Herald last week. While the
honor bestowed is appreciated, we
are compelled to plead not guilty.
To the best of our recollection we have
not at any time written line or word
for the World upon that or any other
subject. To the best of our knowl.
edge and belief the article referred to
was written by Mr.. w. + Hofeins,
Editor OF the World, and it was a
very truthful and accurate account OF
a very remarkable transaction.

A BEAUTIFUL TRIBUTE.
An Act of Love and Esteem Highly
Appreciated.

Not always is devotion to cause
remembered as it should be. Lin
coin Post No. I, Grand Army Of the
Republic, is not so strong in mem
bers as some others, neither are the
old veterans, many OF them at least,
possessed of a great amount of this
world goods, but the fire of patriot
ism, of love Of country, Of devotion to
the Union, for the preservation Of
which they risked their lives, is just
as intense as when, in their young
manhood, they bravely battled for the
right.
Memorial Day, the most sacred Of
all holidays, is always looked for
ward to with feelings Of love and
tenderness which only the true IA
triot can know. Every kindness be-
slowed at that time is treasured in the
hearts Of the old heroes, never to be
blotted out until the last reveille is
sounded.
There lived in this city lady who
always carefully uurtured her flow
ers, and took special delight in supply
ing the post with the choicest pro
ducts of her garden. Within the past
year she crossed over the River and
we are told that many of the sacred
veterans dropped silent tear upon her
tomb. When Memorial Day came,
she was not forgotten. Brave men
they were. Now, as the time draws
nigh when they, too, must pass away,
their hearts grow tender, and love OF
true friends is hallowed.
The memory of ELIZABETH HoFF-
MAN is eushrined, and while the
graves of departed comrades were
decorated with the emblems of that
brighter and better world, her last
resting place was lovingly beautified.
Thefollowing letter from her daugh-
tiers explains itself, ard we gladly find
a place for it in the Herald, knowing
that other good and true friends OF
Mrs. Hoffman will appreciate the ac-
ton of the post:

as well as other articles, and then
there are other ways of getting ahead
of the Trust. The editor of the
Statesman has had an opportunity to
examine Spillman Bros. bills and
should therefore be honest and state
the fact thatthey are selling sugar at a
profit not large-but at fair profit

sugar for S cents a pound, when they
