Government by commission is even
worse than government by injunction,
because it is more expensive and has
more humbuggery about it. The civil
service commission is most costly af-
fair--three high salaried commission
ers, large and entire building, and
scores of clerks, messengers and other
employees, but that it is grotesque
and transparent humbug has now be-
come apparent to most all intelligent
men familiar with its operations. The
interstate commerce commission is
another very expensive but totally I'M
necessary and utterly ineffective hum
bug. 1t was created, nominally, to re-
duce railroad charges, but that it has
not done SO is plain to everybody, and
its rulings, whenever brought before
the courts, are swept away like chaf
before the wind, as was done last Mon
day by the Z. S. Supreme Court. And
50 it is with all the many others with
which the people of the country are
afflicted. But commissions enable the
administration to provide sinecure po-
sitions with lucrative salaries for many
fits personal and political friends at
Washington, at the expense, chiefly. of
the poor people throughout all the 9TH
er parts Of the country, who are taxed
on almost everything they consume, in
order to raise the requisite money.
All government humbugs should lie
squelched, and the first that ought to
90 are the COMMISSIONS Alexandria

BOULEVARD LINE.

The Baltimore and Gainesville Con-
structon Company, which had the con-
tract for building the Boulevard Line be-
tween Baltimore and Washington, filed a
petition Saturday i'll Circuit Court No 2
asking the discharge of the receivers
appointed for the company some time
ago. 1t is stated in the petition that the
company has complied with the terms of
the decree signed August 1G by paying in
full all the undisputed claims against it
and by giving bond for $4,000 to secure
the payment of the disputed claims.
Twenty-Five per cent. of the claims, it
stated, were paid in stock of the Colum-
bia and Maryland Railway, 72,74O shares
of stock having been placed in the hands
of the committee appointed to recorganze
the railway. One of the creditors, it is
also stated, declined to receive the stock
because of doubt as to the validity of
the proceedings under which it was issu
,, ed, the company being at the time in the
hands of receivers and the directors not
having secured the approval of the court
To cure any informality another meeting
of the directors was held for the purpose
after the decree had been signed.
Accompanying the petition are reports
of meetings at which Messrs. T. Edward
Hambleton, Bernard N. Baker and Thomas
| NJ. Lanahan were appointed the reorgani-
| cation committee and also statement of
the plan of Reorganization. The plan
provides for the cancellation OF al bonds
issued under the mortgage of the Colum-
bia and Maryland Railway Company
to the Central Trust Company of New
York. In lieu of these there are to be
issued $3,000,0OO fcrty-year5 per cent.
gold bonds, secured by a first mortgage,
$4,000 600 fifty year 5 per cent. gold bonds
secured by second mortgage, and
-, 000. 600 common stock.
The first mortgage bonds are to be sold
for cash and the proceeds used to complete
the railway The second mortgage bonds
are to be used to retire the old first mort
gage bonds outstanding, amounting to
81, 261 900, leaving balance Of $739, 900.
One million dollars Of the 81 5000 conf
mon stock is to be distributed pro rata
among the holders of the old first mort
gage bonds who paid cash for their bonds
in consideration of their taking second
mortgage bonds. A 25 per cent. bonus,
amounting to $75O,OOO of the common
sock, is to accompany the sale of the
So, 900 900 new first mortgage bonds.
In exchange for the stock of the Balti-
more and Gainesville Construction Com
pany, at $500 share, $104, 900 of the rail
way stock is to be used The balance of
the railway stock is to remain in the
treasury, to aid in settling the claims of
the creditors of the construction company
and for other purposes.

FARMERS INSTITUTES.

The Baltimore Sun of Tuesday had
the following editorial upon this sub
ject:
To-day the first OF long series Of
farmers institutes will be held in Mary
land under the direction of Mr.. William
L. Amoss, of the Agricultural College.
Beginning to-day at Upper Marlboro,
in Prince Georges county, they will
be held in each of the counties of the
State in succession. and in some of the
counties there will be more than one.
The series which was given to the farm
ers Of the State las winter excited
much interest. They were largely at
tended, and without doubt they were
productive of good results.
In few branches Of industry does in
tellcct, foresight and training tell so
potently as in agriculture. While
there is no opportunity for sudden
WEALTH anu ltN loi eHC Situuttl siSSu-
mutation of a fortune offered to the
tillers of the soil, yet the industrious
and intelligent farmer has assured to
him life of comparative ease and CON-
fort and that independence which can,
perhaps. be found in no other calling.
When he wishes ''day off, he has no
master to ask for permission. When
he produces his crops they command
market without the favor of any liv-
ing man. He is dependent only on a
beneficent Providence, which has prom
ised that while the earth remaineth
seed time and harvest, and cold and
heat, and summer and winter, and day
and night shall not ease. The farmer
has opportunities to study which few
Of other callings possess. The winter
with him is a time of comparative free
dom from work, and people in the
country are subjected to few of the in
terruptions and diversions incident to
life in towns.
There is too much Of disposition
among the farmers, however, to persue
the dull round of toll without thought
Of improvement and without effort for
better methods. 1t is the object of the
farmers Institutes to resist and over
come this inertia. They bring togeth-
er the farmers face to face, to give
each other the benefit of their observa-
ton and experience. They stimulate
enterprise and inquiry by showing what
brains have already done for the call
ing and showing that more remains to
be done. Some thoughtful farmer
some years ago discovered that lime
ftrtilizes the soil of Montgomery coun-
ty. That discovery converted a ster-
lie tract into garden aud added mil
lions to the wealth of the State. An
observant citizen of Washington coun-
ty noticed that upon the west slope of
South mountain peaches grew to 4
great perfection and are exempt from
many of the troubles which destroy
crops in other places. That discovery
has brought more mony to Washing
san county than dozen great facto-
ries would have brought. Intelligence
applied to farming has doubled the
average yiel of wheat to the acre in
the great Western counties, Las brouht
vast wealth from the poultry yards
and from various sources OF which a
former generation of farmers knew
nothing. But the wealth which the
soil Of Maryland low produces may
be vastly increased, and it is the de-
sign of the farmers Institutes to pro-
mote this increase.

A CIIANGEOF 80 VOTES.

A change of 80 votes in certain counties
in this State on last Tuesday would have
increased the Democratic membership in
the General Assembly nine. and thus Civ
en- that party majority on joint ballot,
and probably led to the re election of Sen
ator German. Thus, change of 12 votes
in Talbot county would have elected the
Democratic nominees, change of three
votes in this county would have elected
one more Democrat, a change of IL votes
in Montgomery county would have given
victory to the three Democratic candidates
for the House of Delegates, and a change
of II votes in Carroll county would have
elected Grouse, Democrat, over Stansbury.
Republican, This would have given the
Democrats total membership in the AS
scmbly of SO, or a majority on joint ballot
FOR PRESIDENT OF THE
SENATE.

Some of Senator Wellington's Western
Maryland friends say that he will be able
to control at least 81 votes in the General
Assembly, and willthus practically dictate
who will be his colleague at Washin gton
at the expiration of Mr.. Germans term in
1899. They insist that he will be master
of the situation at Annapolis, and that the
man who wishes to succeed Mr. German
will certainly be obliged to see him first"

Our Duty Now Clear.

While the re-installation of Canovas
and Weyler, the return of Mr.. CAL
houn and the publication unexpected
ly of General Lees report on the Ruiz
case have combined to bring on, as il
were, another crisis in public senti-
ment in this country, President McKin-
ley does. well to proceed toward the
working out of his Cuban policy with
out show. of temper. Though our i'm
pulse may at times be to precipitate
events, sober judgment, the judgment
which historians employ, after all sus-
tains the executive. The government
of the United States cannot evade it's
dutysin the premises, but it should not
move without careful calculation nor
permit it's course to be swayed either
in acceleration or retardation by pass
ing gusts of popular feeling or passion.
Let Spain's mood, if it please, be pas
sionate, fitful and even spiteful the
United States is big enough and strong
enough to take the manly course.
We assume 1t to be true, as several
well-informed persons assert, that AS
the presidents direction, is at this time
preparing a communication to Spain
giving reasons in fact, policy and pre-
dent why the United States cannot
unmoved witness the further extinction
of civilization in Cuba, and offering it's
good offices for the purpose of attempt
ing the composition of a peace. We
readily credit that it is the presidents
paramount desire to stop the hell now
on exhibition in Cuba, leaving less ur-
gent matters for later determination.
Whether the note of Judge Day shall
suggest independence for the insur-
gents, with quit-claim payment to
Spain, or autonomy in name amount
ing to independence in fact, or wheth-
er it shall leave untouched the ques-
tion of method, it is clear that some
overture of this general character must
be made and that it must be answered.
Spanish history enables us to con-
lecture the character of the reply.
There will be peremptory declination
of our proffer with saucy warning to
keep hands off. But that through no
fault of ours, will bring the issue to
a direct and desirable focus, and then
can come the vigorous stroke in the
interest alike of Americanism and hu-
manity From this climax in the long
chapter of Spanish tyranny in Cuba
neither the president nor his consti-
tuents will shrink. We believe that it
will come; and we believe moreover
that it will be welcome. So long as
we go to meet it with pure hearts and
clean hands; so long as the fault and
folly are both on the other side; so
long as our course throughout will con-
vey to all impartial beholders it's thor
ough justification, we need not lament
the inevitable. The inferno to the south
of us must be extinguished. The whole
sale murder Of the innocents by pes
thence and starvation, which Weyler
calls war, must end. That is all there
is to it. 1t must end and we must end
1t.

NONE TOO SEVERE.
From the Philadelphia Times.

From the Philadelphia Times.
Another of our silly American women
who purchased an impecunious husband
with n title, has obtained a judicial sep
aration from her husband in the London
courts, and has returned to her home a
sadder and possibly q wiser woman.
Not one In fifty of such marriages has
resulted in even ordinary dc mestic happi-
ness. AS rule American heiresses have
simply exchanged fortunes for titles,
while the fortunes are usually used by
the husbands to maintain mistresses who
are more highly respected than the
wives, and logically so.
Nobody misunderstands the marriage
of American heiresses with impecunious
titles abroad. 1t is the most conspicuous
and offensive outgrowth of American yul-
garity, and in an overwhelming majority
of the cases the women, who have thus
made commerce of the hoiest relation Of
life have suffered the humiliation of
disgrace they deserve. There are excep-
tions to the rule, but the exceptions are
no more than are needed to prove the rule.
The lamentable feature Of these gener-
ally disgraceful marriages Is that they
are confined almost wholly to American
women. Women of wealth in all other
countries of the world have too much self
respect to contract such matrimonial ain
ances, and they come almost wholly from
American women, and generally from
those who have suddenly acquired for
tune without any substantial fitness 20
appreciate or enjoy it.
The women born and reared under the
noblest government Of the world that
interdicts titles by its laws, should be the
last of the sex in any cline to seek empty
titles at the cost of fortune and the humil-
iation and generally disgrace OF the wife;
but strange as it may seem, here where
woman is more honored than in any other
land this crime against the sex is most
common.
