GRAND JURY DISCHARGED.
They Present Their Report, Which
IS Unusually Brief, to the Court,
and are Dismissed.

The Grand Jury, which has been in
session for over three weeks, yesterday
appeared before the Court and asked to
be discharged. The report is very
brief this time and deals, with one ex-
ception, with general routine matters:
THURSDAY, Feb. 25th, 1897.
To the Honorable, the Judges Of the
Circuit Court for Frederick County:
The Grand Jury assembled for the
February term of court and adjourned
after being in session twenty one
CD days. They report having exam
ined 312 witnesses and found 129 pre-
sentiments and indictments and dis
missed "A cases. Have visited the
jail, finding that institution in first
class condition. Number of persons
in the Jail twenty-one, held as witnesses.
They visited the Deaf and Dumb
Asylum with much pleasure, being
treated very courteously by Professor
Ely and Miss Marley.
Have also visited Montevue Hospi-
tai at their own expense and found
everything under the management of
Superintendent Derr in excellent con-
dition. The separation of the colored
inmates from the white people is a
great boon to all. The hospital affords
great relief for the sick and is an eX-
cellent sanitary arrangement.
The number of inmates in Montevue
Hospital, white males, IA; female, =;
colored, male, Al females, "a; children,
white, 4; female, s; colored male, A.;
female, 3. Tramps, male, 20; female, L;
total 29S.
The attention of the Grand Jury has
been called but too late for them to take
action on the matters pertaining to the
arrest of tramps along the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad, and the commit
ment of them by magistrates to the
House of Correction, with free trans
portation, involving heavy expense
to the taxpayers of the county.
Respectfully submitted,

Too Late To Kick Now.

The New York Herald, one of the
foremost journals in the country to
sound the note of retreat from the
Democratic nominees during the last
Presidential campaign, begins to real
ize what Republican ascendency in
this country. means. In speaking of
the Sundry Civil appropriation bill,
which has been rushed through Con-
gress. it says: "The amount appropri-
ated reaches the unprecedented aggre-
gate of nearly tifty-one millions and
SURPRISES the great total of last year by
more than seventeen million of dol
lars. More than third of the entire
amount is voted for rivers and harbors,
although an enormous sum for that
purpose was carried in the River and
so monstrous in its features as well as
its aggregate, that Mr.. Cleveland was
compelled to veto it, There are thirty
seven items of appropriation for rivers
and harbors, and the amount appro-
priated for all is eighteen million six
hundred thousand dollars" This bill
is now in the Senate and the probable
titles are that the aggregate of appro-
priations will eventually amount to
ffty or Sirty millions. The Herdid also
enters its verdict against the extra ses-
sion of Congress which it seems to think
will be called on the plea that the
expenditures of the government great
ly exceeds its income and that more
revenue is needed Why should the
Herdld be surprised ut this condition
of affairs? No paper in the country
was better posted upon the record
made by Mr.. Mckinley while in Con-
gress. Nopaper was better informed
rs to the connections of Mr.. Hanna,
the manager of Mr.. Mckinley before
and after the nomination, with all the
trusts and combinations of the coun-
try, rs well as with the corporations de
handing higher tariff for their selfish
purposes. Yet the Herald undertakes
at this late day to sound the note of
warning against Republican eXtrava-
gance. Mr.. Mckinley is perfectly JUS
titled in carrying out his policy of
high protection, for he made no con-
cealment of his views on this subject.
Did not the trusts and combinations,
together with the high protective bar
ons of the country, contribute the mil
lions to corrupt the people, whereby
they made sure of the cleo
ton of their chief? Is it to be suppos-
ed that they will now turn from the
realization of the purposes they had in
view when they gave up their mill
lions? Not much. The Herald and
other so-called independent journals
have no one to blame for this condition
of affairs but the1&elves. OF course
an extra session MI be called. OF
course we will have higher tariff rates.
OF course there will be extravaganza
and as matter of course hard times
for the people will continue even if the
corporations and trusts flourish. But
this is what the Herald helped to fas-
ten on the country in its advocacy of
Mckinley.

some of our rural contemporaries
will be full and running over
Many of the States have
State board of equalization, to see
that all the counties and cities
contribute fairly their proportion Of
State taxation. For lack of sucha
board State taxation has been une
qually distributed in Maryland. Every
city or county WEIGH has high local
tax rate makes an effort to unduly
swell the basis in order to keep the
local rate within reasonable figure,
The State tax being imposed upon this
valuation, these contribute more largely
to the State. That has been the case
with Baltimore City, where real estate
has nearly always been overvalued
1t also applies to the smaller and
poorer southern counties, where the
tax rates are high. In the rich western
counties, on the contrary, like Freder.
lex, Washington and Carroll, the tax
rates are comparatively small, and they
can safely keep down valuations; and
so they escape any undue contribu.
tions to the State treasury.

chester, $l0.4S; Altoona and Pittsburg

This inauguration will be most in
teresting event, aud will undoubtedly
attract large number of people from
every section of the county.
The magnificent facilities of the
Pennsylvania Railroad makes this
line the favorite route to the National
capital at all times. and its enormous
equipment and splendid terminal adj
vantages at Washington make it es-
pecially popular on all such occasions.

wellington in the Saddle.

Some time ago, it will be remember
ed we claimed Wellington was firmly
seated in the saddle, and would go
right ahead, looking neither to the
right or the left Wellington believes
in practical politics and wants results.
The selection of Hon. James \. Gary
is a measure due TO the position taken
by the Maryland boss for recognition
of his State. And why should he not
be recognized? Has he not humbug-
ged sufficient number of sore-headed
Democrats to secure control of Mary
land? Did they not turn the State
over to him? Knowing how well he
ran the Republican machine in his
own county can he be blamed now if he
runs the state machine for the benefit
Jof his chosen clique? What difference
does it make if the assessment is going
to raise our taxes all over the State of
Maryland? Did not his organs in Bal
timore assist him to wreck the Demo-
cratic party? Who can blame him if
he has the police of Baltimore carry out
his orders or faithful guardians retired
to make room for some of his boys?
The horse that carries the oats should
eat them, has always been his creed.
So who can blame Wellington if Mr..
Gary puts the federal patronage at his
disposal, and who is more entitled to
1t than the General of the army?
Blame him for using his power, the
power given him by sore-headed DEM
ocratsl Not much.

The camel is a beast of great strength
and endurance. Nothing hurts it until
the proverbial "last straw" is added to
its burden. The human digestive sys-
TEN is very much like camel. Ii is
really astonishing how much abuse it
will stand. Sometimes, however, some
thing worse than usual will be eaten,
and will go through the stomach into
the bowels, and there it will stick
that's constipation. Nine-tenths of all
human sickness is due to constipation.
Some of the simplest symptoms are
coated tongue and foul breath, dizzi-
ness, heartburn. fiatulence, sallowness,
distress after eating, headaches, and
lassitude. A little thing will cause
constipation, and little thing will re-
lieve it. DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets
are a certain cure for constipation.
They are tiny, sugar-coated granules,
mild and natural in their action.
There is nothing injurious about them.

For several years past, Mr.. Luther
Derr has occupied the position of Su.

and We feel sure that if the Board OF
Charities and Corrections had searched

institution was attached to Mr., Derr-
IN fact it could not be otherwise, as his
kindly interest and attention to the
unfortunate under his charge endeared
him to everyone. The Board has
Thought proper to make a change in

MARYLAND will be honored with a
choice in the cabinet in the person of
James A. Gary, of Baltimore, in whose
interest Mr.. Wellington has been
working since the election. 1t was
understood that Southern man was
slated for one of the places and so the
Maryland man had chance with the
rest. 1t is most likely that he will
get the Postmaster Generalship.
The selection of Mr.. Gary, of Mary
land, for portfolio, seems to give gen.
eral satisfaction, as he is man highly
respected by his social and business as
sociates, and one who ia thoroughly
competent to fill the position for which
he is intended. BY politicians it is
