Springfield became the battle ground.
Holmes Field is admirably situated, right In
the middle Of the college buildings. and 1t has
been understood for q long time that the uni
versity would take 1t In q few years. 1t was,
therefore,. no great surprise when tho announce
ment was made carly last March that tho land
WAS TO be utilized and that baseball and track
athletics must move across the river into ALL
ston. After n controversy which lasted a month
or moro the students prevailed upon the eu-
thorities to leave the field to them for this rear.
With the dismantling Of Holmes. the Carey
athletic building became useless for athletic
purposes. and tho university purchased this Of
the students for about Bic 900 though the price
was never made public. In this was the rowing
tank. which will be kept in its present shape for
a few years, until the crew treasury can afford
money for a new one. There are various runors
as to the future Of this building. but probably

The Race Track Evil.

Cecil county, this state, is afflicted with the
race.traek evil and book-making, gambling,
pool-selling. and all attendant nuisances, aud
its citizens have organized for protection. In
series of preambles and resolutions they
state that the county is now the refuge of
gamblers, driven by wholesome laws from
other states; that their presence Is cornptrng
to both old and young, leading them from the
WAYS Of industry and thrift TO follow these
evil-doers; that not only is the gambling habit
growing upon the people, but that the leading
astray of young girls is frightfully prevalent
and that vile profanity on the streets, in the
cars and everywhere is degrading and intol-
cradle. They appeal to the moral sense OF
the people of the state to unite with them,
and act by securing nominees for the Legs
lature of men who can be relied upon to abate
the evil by the enactment of laws to prevent
race track gambling.
An attempt to pass such law was made IN
the last Legislature, but the gambling intiu-
enee was powerful enough to defeat it, and
the effort will be renewed next winter.
The evil complained of is an intolerable
nuisance, and the presence of the track pro-
prietors, attaches and followers is corrupting
to an appalling degree. Such evils should
not be permitted anywhere, and especially in
MARYLAND. which stands first for morality and
culture among the states ofthe Union. There
should be no difficulty in having the proper
legislation passed by the next Legislature to
break up the race track nuisance, now that
the citizens of Cecil have combined to stamp
it out and are arousing public sentiment upon
the subject.

valuable(q) Statistics.

In the Fifth Annual Report of the Bureau
of Industrial Statistics of Maryland we find
the following under the heading of Carroll
county
Waqes and Labor.-Farm labor is paid from 70
cents SIPS per day. and from $40 to 80 per month";
oo T1nsporfGto Western Maryland railroad
and the Frederick division Of the pennsylvania
railroad constitute the railroad facilues Oh the
0V Etet.wood and coal are used. Wood costs from
50 per cord. Coal costs from S42O TO % per
ton.
There is scarcely any part of the report for
Carroll that is correct, and what is correct IS
only half ought to have been said. There
are few, If any, farm laborers in Carroll who
receive $40 per month, board included. Be
sides the railroads noted it was generally
thought that the Baltimore Ohio railroad
crossed the lower part of the county, that the
Baltimore and Harrisburg road ran through
the eastern part of the county, and that the
Bachman Valley railroad ran down into the
county. The price of wood and coal are
considerably higher than the prices quoted.
Westminster is spoken of as "a thorough
manufacturing city.
In looking through the Report, comprising
2S4 pages, errors we're observed concerning
other counties, and there was mass Of stuff
that makes one wonder why it was collected
and printed, even if it be true. To maintain
this Bureau costs the state So, 900, $4,000 being
the salary of the chief and $1,656.S5 being
paid for salaries of others.

Useless Investigation.

A pious daily paper published in the sanity
city Of Chicago complains that three United
States Senators, knowing that the sugar sched-
ule Of the proposed tariff bill would send up
the price Of sugar stock when the schedules
should be made public, bought about 5000
shares aud sold ont at profit Of SIG. 600, and
wants the matter investigated by the Senate.
II stock gambling is right at all, these Sena-
tors are guilty of no offence. There was
nothing criminal, nothing unbecoming SEN
ator, and nothing to call out criticism, and
especially from Chicago journal. These
Senators learned of the schedules, knew the
effect they would have upon the market, and
availed themselves of their information to
speculate If Senators are not to be per-
mitted to engage in business or speculation
the salaries ought to be increased, for not
many of them can maintain themselves and
families on the $4,000 year they receive.
fthe three Senators had lost $50, 900, no
investigation would have been advised.

How to Have Good Roads.

The bicyclists are continually agitating for
smooth roads. These are very desirable and
all people would like to have them, but they
cost money, and in these times of low prices
and scarcity of money the people, very many
of whom own neither carriages nor bicycles,
do not feel like taxing themselves to construct
and maintain them, especially as wheels are
largely used for pleasure.
There are said to be l0O,O00 bicycle riders
in Maryland, and the number is continually
increasing. If each of these would contribute
annually five dollars for period of ten years,
raising $500 600 year and $4,000, 900 in ten
years, thus supplementing the work of the
local governments, all the main roads of the
state could be put in excellent condition.
Let Consul Sans take hold of this matter.
Every bicycist would save the amount of his
or her contribution in repairs now incurred
by reason of rough roads.

A Strawberry Farm.

SARcoxIE MISSOURI, May 1.-THE straw
berry picking season opened up here this
morning with the greatest gathering of people
ever assembled in this community. The
S rookie Horticultural Association, controll-
ing farm of 400 acres of strawberries ad-
vertised for 10000 pickers. Their circulars
were responded to by fully 10000 persons,
who are besieging the hotels and lodging
houses of Sarcoxie.
The overflow has been so great that thou
sands have been forced to sleep upon the
ground and prepare their meals in improvised
dugouts or shanties constructed of branches
and leaves. The line of campers extends ten
miles up and down on each side of Spring
River.
Men representing almost every vocation are
here. Some of them have seen better days;
but poverty having fore d them to leave the
ranks of the thousands of unemployed in the
large cities they have sought the field.
There are former railroad conductors, en-
gineers, telegraph operators, brakemen, fire.
men, store clerks, newspaper men, and all
kinds of tradesmen, down to the professional
hobo.

upon which the levy was just made by the County

and the revenue for the use of the county would
have been S1O0S0O Under the Republican assess

thing, and if Wellington continues to boss the

From the Laurel Democrat
Confidence has not been restored by the advent OF
Mckinley to power nor has prosperity dawned to
any Illuminating extent, but the hypocrisy and
shallow pretence of the Republican ante-election
promises are patent to all. The principle and dec
laration in favor of home rule for the District of
Columbia is very forcibly demonstrated in the ap-
pointment of u negro eX-Congressman to the office
of Recorder of Deeds. What great pity it is that
there is no competent Republican in Washington to
fill the office that the President must needs go to
North Carolina for candidate.
