Car Reed Is even more of brute

Everything else is going up except

agitators to strike through snpa-

ed Press dispatches unwittingly
told why they had not struck soon
er. 1t was to the effect that Mark
Hanna's starving miners have
brought legal proceedings against
him, and are trying to recover their
hard-earned wages that their en-
ployer confiscated under the terms
OF an iron-clad contract, when his
men Joined the movement for living
wages. To get employment in the
pit, Hanna's men were forced last
December to sign an agreement
which allowed the company to re-
tain 10 per cent Of each digger's
earnings as a guaranty against
strikes. The fund thus accumulat-
ed aggregated more than $1,000 at
the time the men struck, and, of
course, the entire sum was imme-
diately declared forfeited to the
company. Eighty Of the miners
who lost their wages through this
method of confiscation have
brought suit. This is how Mark

In times of great stringency
when the tax payers are forced tc
practice the strictest economy, pru
dence would seem to dictate that
like economy should obtain in the
expenditure of the public revenues
but under the management of a re.
publican board of Commissioner
and Infirmary Directors, the carni-
val of extravaganza has been in
augurated and the tax rate increas-
ed, and todAy for the first time in
the history of the county, a time
too, when no calamity has called
for unexpected expenditure, we
find the county treasury at the
verge of bankruptcy.
There is no dodging. The rppubli-
cans were in complete control, and
are wholly responsible for existing
conditions, from which there seems
no escape save by sale of county
bonds.
1t would be prudent fer the tax
payers to pause and consider
whether a halt on expensive and
extravagant methods had not best
be called, and return to the Demo-
cratic economy of former days. If
so vote for Smith and against

Dissipating the Surplus.

A Treasury surplus seems to give
the Republicans the horrors. The
g. o.p. proved its ability to dissipate
surplus in national affairs as early
as 1898 but we thought the fnap-
cial squanderers were confined to
the halls Of Congress, but the fnan-
cial transactions of the last two
years seem to indicate that some of
them have broken into the bounds OF
this county and been elected to the
office of commissioner.
In proof Of what We say we ap-
pend the standing Of the four prin-
cipal funds.
First take the county fund. This
is the general expense fund of the
county and care should be taken to
keep this fund and the general ex-
penses well balanced.

Obituary.

From Baltimore Christian AdOocate, Aug. II.
Mrs. Louise Clagett, nee Miss White, wife
of James Clagett, died in the sixty-titth year
of her lite on Tuesday, July 18th, 1897, at
her home, near Laytonsvlle, Montgomery
county, Maryland.
Mrs. Clagett was a member of the Pres
byterian Church. Her funeral services were
conducted by Rev. Mr.. Richards, of that
church, and her body, followed by large
concourse OF sorrowing friends, was laid
away at rest in the Presbyterian cemetery
at Darnestewn, awaiting the coming of her
risen Lord. She was good woman, and
was lover of all the followers Of Jesus
Christ.
Her home was for years the home of the
Methodist preachers on Rockville Circuit, In
the bounds OF which she lived, and not one
who has filled that work will fail 10 re.
call and cherish her kindness OF heart and
Christian ministry in her home.
Her Christian character was developed
and perfected in the furnace of a severe per-
sonal affection. For years she was an al
most helpless cripple. She at times suffered
much, but amid all her suffering she magni.
fled the grace of Jesus Christ. and exhibited,
in no ordinary degree resignation to the
will Of God, and the sweetness Of Christian,
patience. Perfected through suffering, made
ready Tor her eternal home, after years of
waiting, the call came suddenly and unex-
pected. Smitten by paralysis on Sunday,
she died on Tuesday. Faithful unto death,
she enters into rest.
May the grace of God sustain her husband
and three daughters who mourn her loss.

a CARD

Dear Editor. | desire hereby through
your paper to express my unleigned graft
tude and sincere thanks to my many friends
of Montgomery for their liberal patronage
of the excursion to Bay Ridge, on the 9th
instant, given in the interest of my church
and mission work. While the pecuniary
profits we had hoped to derive therefrom
may have been uppermost in our first con
ception of giving the excursion, yet we can
now truly say that our compensation was
magnified many fold by the many tlattering
expressions that have come to us since from
those who accompanied US to Maryland's
lovely resort. The one purpose that every
one seemed to have had in view was to en-
joy themselves and also to adj to the com
tort of others. While innocent mirth wa
universal, yet the best order aud perfect de-
corum reigned supreme, and not single
incident, as we have heard, occurred to mar
the happiness and pleasure OF one of the
three hundred aud twenty five excursion
lists.
am glad an opportunity was afforded u
number Of our young people to look for the
first time out upon tue expansive waters of
the dear old Chesapeake l say dear" be-
cause to me it is dear, having been born and
having spent most OF my past life near or
upon its banks.
One of the clearest proofs that it was
day of recreation and enjoyment, am daily
besieged by those who went TO take them
again, and many who did not go are restless
to go because of the goodly report of the
land Possibly il more satisfactory arrange
ments can be made with the railroad com.
pany aud full assurance that goodly num-
Der will go, we in the near future may try it
again. Truly
