Caught an American Eagle.

Mr.. Alley, while out hunting on
Warm Creek about two weeks ago,
shot a sage hen some distance off and
before he reached the spot where it
had fallen IA large American eagle
had swOoped down on the dead bird
and was devouricR it. He shot the
eagle wounding its right wing so that
it could fly but a short distance at a
time. He determined to capture the
eagle alive. and after a fight, lasting
ABOUT two hours, between him and his
dog on one side and the eagle on the
other he succeeded In capturing it.
He brought the eagle to town and
shipped it to the State University at
the request Of DR. Stubbs. The cap
tive measures nearly seven feet from
tip to tip Of it's wings 1t has a sharp,
piercing eye, and resents any inter-
ference with it. While Mr.. Alley was
feeding it the eagle caught the back
of his hand in it's claw and cut iI
nearly to the bone.-Elko Indepen-

Did il Reveal a Romance.

Loui-vi}la, Der. 2O.-Is Their" a 70
nance in the life Of William J. BRYAN
which he kept sacr dly guarHrt from
the world? This is what IS being
asked by members OF the party who
accomp ,nipd Mr.. Bryan on his tour
in Kentucky last week. At Loretto
there is a srhno! for girls in charge OF
the Nazarene Sisters. When the
Bryan special reached Loretto the
schoolgirls gathered TO greet the silver
leader. Then the sisters in charge
pressed forward. One by one they
clasped his hand and passed on. The
sixth stopped, raised her cNwl, and
looking up said: Mr.. Bryan, I
knew YOU in the long ago"
Mr. Bryan was startled. He leaned
forward and a name VAS Whispered in
his ear. He still clasped the hand of
the nun whose cowl had fallen back
and revealed a face which showed
traces of great beauty. There was a
Whispered conversation, but not until
the train moved slowly Oh its way did
they break their hand clasp.
Il knew her long ago." was all the
explanation Mr.. Bryan gave to his
party.

Stuff From BRYAN.

We give the following extract from
an interview with VIM. J. Bryan as a
speciman of his after-campaign style:
Mr.. Gage is a daisy Greenbacks
should, he says, be retired and silver
purchased under the Sherman act
should be sold and treasury notes re-
deemed and Cancelled. Then we
ought to have bank notes that are
redeemable only in gold. And he al
so says that the government should
not act as a warehouse of either gold
or silver. There is no doubt about
Mr.. Gage being q daisy | wonder if
he wouldn't like to inaugurate a
system by which he would have to
obtain his permission each morning
to live throughout the day.
This sort of stuff would have sound
ed queer had Mr.. Bryan been given a
chance to work it up into messages
and proclamations.
Mr.. Bryan is cultivating his taste
as a sportsman in hunting ducks, and
when he gets well up in taking this
class of fowls, he is going to start in
and endeavOr to find geese enough to
help him run for office in 1900
Mr.. Bryan you will never be wanted
again as a Presidential candidate. 1t
will take four years to get over the
shock you gave US last fall, even if
you did not settle yourself then, you
will etfectually do so in the books,
lectures and interview you are pro
ducing. The country needs some
thing from a statesman besides q ca
pacity as calamity howler. Mont

A number of the baser sort of papers
are making villainOus attack upon
Gen. Russell A. Ayers war record
The allegation is that he left his COM
mand in the face of the enemy and in
the middle of the compaign; also, that
Gems. Sheridan, Torbert, Merritt and
Custer recommended his dismissal.
The plain facts are that the records
show that Gen. Alger had served near
ly three years with conspicuous cour-
age and zeal. He had engaged in 81
battles and skirmishes, had been twice
wounded, and had everywhere shown
such gallantry and ability as to win
for him the highest approval of his
superior officers. After Gettysburg,
Gems. Pleasonton and Fitzpatrick
united in a strong recommendation
for his promotion to Brigadier-G Gen
eral for his splendid soldiership in
that engagement. The end of 1868
found him broken in health, and har-
assed by fears as to the fate of his pro-
perty, which had been entirely neg
lected during his long service. and
was then in danger of being entirely
lost. He rendered his resignation, but
was persuaded not to press it, but
take part in the coming campaign.
He did SO. In the Sheridan's memora-
BILE campaign in the rear Of Lees army
and around Richmond, Alger behaved
so splendidly and showed so much
soldiership that Custer, Merritt and
Sheridan joined in strongly urging his
promotion to Brigadier General
Sheridan wrote the War Department
that he had a brigade which he wanted
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1897-02-11

Alger to command. Shortly after his
entrance upon the Shenandoah Cam
paign Alger's health broke down. His
Brigade Surgeon ordered him to the
rear, and he was sent to the hospital
at Annapolis. Sometime after, the
Surgeons pronounced him sufficiently
recovered for light work, and he was
ordered to Washington as member
of a court-martial. The prospect of
this kind of work was not pleasant to
him, and he was harassed by increas-
ing troubles as to his property. There
upon he rendered his resignation, and
in his letter recited the facts of his i'll
health, his continuous service for
nearly three years, with only short
absences on account of wounds, re-
turning before he was fully recovered
the danger of his losing all his prop
erty, and that he could be spared
from his regiment, which was fully
Differed with excellent men.
Thereupon his resignation was ac-
cepted.
There was some misunderstanding
of this by Custer, who assumed that
Alger had been absent without leave,
and as Custer was never very judicial
minded he at once recommended that
he be dismissed. This went to Divi-
sion and Corps Headquarters, where
it received the formal Endorsement of
Merritt and Torbert. When is reached
Army Headquarters Sheridan put on
it very reluctant Endorsement, in
which he spoke Of Alger's previous
good service. When this came to
Washington it was returned with the
Endorsement that Col. Alger was out
of the service, his resignation having
been accepted before Clusters action.
Alger did not know of Clusters ac-
ton until a quarter of century after
and it was a great surprise to him, for
Custer had always been his warm Gu
gOlist.

menians, subjects of Turkey, kyho
could read and write Armenian{ but
not Turkish. The conference nom
mittee's bill was in this respect a hew
bill and went far beyond the rd1tric-
lions imposed by either house. lhAow
in the conferces' second report this is
again changed and the simple require
ments in the House bill that the i'm
migrant shall be able to read and
write the English language or some
other language" is restored. The
bill is thus relieved from the obiec-
ton and the odium of discriminating
against immigrants from certain
countries or belonging to certain
races and nationalties.
Another objection which has been
obviated in the second report of the
conference committee is that which
we made to their first report-that the
bill as reported by the committee
would lead to the separation of fami-
lies by preventing a qualified immi
grant from bringing in with him or
sending for his illiterate wife, minor
children or grandchildren. The Sen
ate provided for the admission of the
wife, parent, grand-parent, minor
child or grandchild-fivec classes of rel
atives. The House admitted the par
ents, but made no express provision
for the illiterate wife, l. e., admitted
one class. The bill at first reYoffed
from the conference committee ad-
mitted parents and grandparents
two classes-but made no provision
for wife, children or grandchildren.
These, it is understood, will be ad-
mitted according to the bill as now re-
ported in the case of immigrants who
are qualified and capable.
Undoubtedly the leading idea of
the bill was to discourage and restrict
the immigration of illiterate males; in
other words, the increase of illiterate
voters, especially the foreign-born.
In these days of printed official, or, as
they are commonly called, Austria
lian," ballots, and in the absence of
State laws making the ability to read
and write English an essential quail
tication for the exercise of the right of
suffrage the putting a stop by legisla-
ton to the further influx of illiterate
voters from abroad would seem to be
scarcely less important as a matter of
public policy than the exclusion of
paupers and criminals. This latter
object is already sought to be accom-
plished by existing laws. The new
bill is only further step in the same
direction-thato of the exclusion of I'M
welcome and undesirable citizens.

Agricultural Meeting.

10 the Editor ofThe Republican.
Having myself had the enjoyment
and benefit of attending the Farmers
Institute held in Oakland last Satur-
day, cannot refrain from expressing
my regret that so many of our best
farmers were absent.
AS doubt whether the origin and
objects of the institute are at all
understood, brief sketch will ex-
plain.
At the last session Of our Legisla-
ture an act was passed ITO provide
for the formation of farmers insti-
tutes in the State of Maryland" for
the purpose of bringing before the
farmers information of value, and
methods which shall remedy many of
the evil ways now practiced in nearly
every branch of agriculture, and to
provide able and practical men who
shall attend the institutes and discuss
topics of local interest in the several
sections of the State.
Under the able supervision of Mr.
VIM. L. Amoss, appointed director
under the above act, full and instruc-
tive meetings were held last week at
Frederick, Hagerstown and Cumber-
land. At the latter meeting Gov.
Lowndes made a short address, giving
his experience in connection with his

President McKinley's Cabinet selec-
lions thus far announced are as fol
lows, and leave but two more appoint
ments, that of Attorney General and
Postmaster General, to be determined
upon:
Secretary of State, John Sherman,
of Ohio.
Secretary of the Treasury, Lyman
J. Gage, of Illinois.
Secretary of War, Russell A. Alger,
of Michigan.
Secretary of the Navy, John D.
Long, of Massachusetts.
Secretary of the Interior, Joseph
McKenna, of California.
Secretary of Agriculture, James S.
Wilson, of Iowa.
The appointment which has attract
ed the greatest attention and elected
the strongest commentator is that
of Mr. Gage to the Treasury portfolio.
Mr.. Gage is the leading financier of
the middle west, and his ability, con-
servatism and ripe experience make
his selection an eminently iudicious
one. He resigns important private
interests to undertake the duties to
which he has been called, with the
determination to give the country a
thoroughly broad and businesslike
administration of the Treasury
The other selections are also highly
commended by the press of the coun-
try.

aided by the labors of 70 thousand
Sunday-school superintendent and
legions of teachers. The enrolment
of pupils is nearly equal to that in the
public schools. So much for religion.
Is there not in these two organized
forces, very Niagara ofpower?
But despite education, there are
vast numbers who seem utterly I'M
prepared to struggle for existence.
Though knowledge is increased like a
flood, and men hold their hands aloft
to praise free education, it still has
failed to give worthy ideals to the
dwellers in our jails, the tramps on the
highways, and the traitors in our po-
litical life. Despite Religion-and
Science-and Education-the triune
hope of the race, thousands upon
thousands of men are beastly and
grovelling, selfish and cruel. In their
most essential relations they will re-
main in the deepest darkness;-wit-
ness the swarms of idiots and the glib
boring hosts of the insane. To know
ledge we may well say
"Of what avail, to tame the Iightnings speed.

roof. In the winter the ensilage will
come out almost as fresh and green
as when it was put in, and the stock
will relish it most thoroughly.
Director Amoss called for sheep
in order that Mr.. Armstrong might
illustrate the points which breed
ers should strive for, and which will
count at all fairs and exhibitions, but
unfortunately there was none in
town.
At the afternoon session Prof.
Hedges discussed the Geographical
and Chemical Formation of Soil Civ
ing the distinguishing characteristics
of different soils, the amount of heat
and moisture which they would
retain under given conditions, and
from these data, drew valuable illus
tratiOns for the proper treatment and
methods of working them.
He is strong advocate of economic
methods is preserving the natural
manures produced upon the farm,
and of blowing under green crops.
In conclusion Prof. Hedges gave
five uses of lime as follows:
1. When applied to a sandy soil it
will make it more compact and adhe-
sive.
2. The action upon stiff clay will
be to loosen the soil and make it more
friable.
3. Its action will be to sweeten the
soil and remove acidity.
4. 1t will hasten the decomposition
of vegetable matter in the soil.
5. 1t will unite with insoluble salts
in the soil, forming soluble ones,
which can be taken up as plant food.
| hope that those who read the
brief sketch which have given of the
institute will see and appreciate the
pra ctical character of the work which
has been undertaken.
Mr.. AmOss, the director, is thor
Oughly in earnest with his work, and
should meet with the support and CO.
operation of the farmers of Garrett
county. He will hold one or more
Institutes each year, and will if the
interest of the farmers warrant it.
offer premiums for farm products. He
makes no plan for clubs or societies,
but strongly urges the organization
of the farmers of each county for
themselves, and then will be glad to
aid and work through such an organ
ization.
1t is sometimes said that the farm
ers are forgotten; here is direct legis-
lation in our behalf. We want our
share of State funds for the instruc-
ton of the children, why not take
advantage of what is offered for our
selves, as has been done in Frederick
county where the attendance was
nearly four hundred.
