licatiOn:
The Dodge school closed on last
Friday evening with appropriate
speeches, declarations, singing, and
most interesting was the instrument
tai music furnished by the Weimer
Quartette, which was the more
attractive from the fact that
Capt. Weimer, who is scarcely
out of his teens, had made all the in
struments used by the band, which
consisted of two violins, bass and Il
| tenor drum, all of a superior quality
and the music rendered in a mastery
manner. This young man, the son of
Jesse Weimer, known to many of our
people in Oakland, is a natural born
genius, who cannot only reproduce
almost anything he sees, but has made
some inventions which will be of great
help to his fellow-men.

weather? Will they help a man to
undergo the strain of maintaining
his station off an enemy's port on
dark nights with the fear of torpedo
boats ever present in his mind? Will
they help the lieutenant to maneuver
his torpedo boat or tOrpedo-boat des-
troyer, or will they comfort his soul
when these lively craft are plunging
into the sea, with matches battened
down and no cooked food to eat Ow-
ing to the ilnpossbility of keeping the
galley fire alight? No, science will
not help him in any of these things.
Is it not true that men
with average intellect who are endow
ed with strong nerves and strong
physique make the best and most
successful officers in the end? What
do the advocates of science wish our
officers to do in their leisure moments
in harbor? Pore over books in the
pursuit of an abstract science? Will
such a sedentary occupation tend to
keep their physical and nerve power
up to the required point, or is it not
much better for the officers to go on
shore to ride, shoot, play cricket, BIZ
cycle, golf, football, or to boat?
Health, strength, activity, alertness
of mind and body are vastly better
for the mass of mankind than liter
airy taste or artistic refinement.
With the one goes clear vision and
prOmptitude of action; with the other
too often hesitancy and feebleness of
will. The one may uphold a sinking
State; the other will be apt passively
to witness its downfall. 1t has be-
come formula that a Republic is
based on virtue and intelligence.
Hence our public schools; and hence,
in part, our churches. Combined,
they ought to supply to the youth of
this country the means of acquiring
that political intelligence and that
moral stamina which will safeguard
our institutions. But a multiplicity
of studies which OvercrOwd the brain
and lines of research which do not
bear in their influence on the future
pursuits of the pupil should be dis
cOuraged That is not the kind OF
education which the public should be
called on to provide.

THE MARYLAND sENATORsHIP.
The Main Issue of the Next Campaign
Eastern Shore Opinion.


Eastern Shore Opinion.
Snow Hill Advocate April 8
Governor Lowndes is understood to
have decided to be a candidate for
United States Senator to succeed
Senator German, who though appar-
emily politically dead, isn't likely to
recognize the fact until he shall begin
to decOmpOse.
Present indications are that the
next campaign will be made on the is
sue, "Shall Lowndes or German be
the Senator for the six years from
March 4, 1892
The Governors term of office will
expire January !, 1900, and if he should
be chosenSenator and continue to hold
the office of Governor until the begin
ming of his term as Senator, the presi-
dent of the State Senate would sue
coed to the Office of Governor for the
unexpired term.
The Legislature will elect Senator
Germans successor next year and if
Governor Lowndes shall be the lucky
man and shall resign as Governor i'm
mediately on his election as Senator,
the Legislature being in session will
have to elect a Governor to serve out
the uneXpired term. Governor
Lowndes' candidacy for the Senator
ship will make next NOvember's cleo
ton all the more interesting and i'm
portant on account OF the fact that
both a Senator and Governor may de
pend on its result
In 1874 Governor Whyte was elected
U. S. Senator and he forthwith
resigned the GovernOrship III order to
give the Legislature the opportunity
to elect a Governor and James b.
Groom, of Cecil county was chosen to
serve out the term. When Governor
McL3ne resigned the GOvernorship to
become United States Minister to
France the Legislature was not in SEES
sion and Henry Lloyd, president of
the Senate, succeeded to the office of
Governor.
With Lloyd Lowndes and Arthur P.
German as opposing candidates for
United States Senator the voters of
Maryland should not hesitate a mo-
ment but vote unanimously for mem
bers of the Legislature who will re
turn German to private life, whence,
for the good of the State and the ma
ton he ought never to have been
called.

Education should have relation to
the future life of the pupil. That
pupil in most cases will have to earn
his living and make his was in the
world. A smattering of chemistry,
metaphysics or botany will not aid
him in making a boot, shoeing a
horse or blowing field. If he has
b cen thoroughly taught the element
in our common schools he may, if he
happens to develop taste for these
or cOgnate sciences, pursue them in his
hours of leisure and obtain from such
pursuit qualification and pleasure.
If, moreover, he should have a real
aptitude and talent for science he will
be likely, on the documentary founda-
ton which the common schools has
built for him, to achieve a notable
success in this voluntary study. But
success will depend on himself alone.
Any scheme, however, that seeks to
enlarge the circle of study in our
common schools and to educate the
mass Of pupils in science, literature
and art will be likely to prove fail
ure. 1t will be more apt to unfit
them for the work i'll which their
days are to pass than to be an aid in
the struggle for existence. Besides, it
is putting on the shoulders of the tax
payers a burden which they ought
not in reason to bear. When the
public has provided an education
suited to make intelligent citizens
an education that will enable these
who enjoy it TO gain livelihood and
carry on the usual affairs Of life-the
public has done all that should be
required of it. Science and aesthetics
are luXuries, very useful, indeed, and
very beautiful in their manifesto
tions Of results; but no moral or po-
litical considerations should seem to
impose on the Commonwealth the
duty Of gratuitOusly providing them
as feast for all. As long as work is
to be done in this wOrld-aud there

world shall endure-that education

GENTLY fit mankind to do this work
In our military and naval schools
there is, no doubt, a great deal taught
which is not calculated to make flu
ture FaIraguts or future Grants.
The life of the sailor or soldier is to
be passed in warfare, or in prepara-
ton for warfare on sea or land. The
education necessary for him is the
education that teaches him to think
and 60 observe, to manage ship or
battalion. A writer in the UHitcd
SerUjce N0g0zine asks;
Even suppose we can get a smatter-
ing of half a dozen sciences into the
already overcrowded heads of young
officers: what in all common sense, use
will they be to him? Will they help
him to fight his guns? Will they help
him to maneuver his ship. Will they
give him the nerve, strength and en-
dnrance required by captain to en-
able him to safely carry his ship

Think of two Republicans in the
United States Senate from the State
of Arthur Gormanl One is there now,
and the other-Gov. Lloyd LOwndes-
formally declares his purpose to get
there in place of German next March.
Time was when if any one wanted to
know Maryland's attitude in politics
he first learned Arthur Germans ideas
and knowing them, he knew where
Maryland stood. It's different now.
G orman 10 longerrules supreme, even
in his own party down there, and
Maryland turns up with from $4,000
to 1900 Republican majority. If the
Republicans keep together and make
a VIGOROUS canvass they can probably
win the legislature, and particularly
so if German is a candidate for an
other term. If Maryland is determin-
ed upon anything, it is that German
shall be obliterated as political force

two months, settled the feeling of the
people against him.-New York Mail

A man never knows how much
business he can do till he advertises

is the supreme test. Not even the
past-masters of advertising ever

things it has aided in the maintenance
of one language in general use. IHe
children of immigrants in our public
schools learn the language and the
deeds of Washington and Jefferson, of
Webster and of Clay The home train
ing in the tongue of the foreign
Fatherland is a trifle compared with
the American influence of school
books, and the playground; for it is
hard to exaggerate the ties of Ian
guage. There have been instances in
our history where whole counties in
the Northwest are exclusively Scandi-
navian; but the condition lasts only
for time, by reason of the children's
learning our general tongue. Strange
though it may sound, there are fewer
definite dialects in our whole country
than can be found in Great Britain
Kingdom that could almost be pack
ed away in one state, New York. In
that small country Dorset man Of
| low rank could not understand
| Scotchman, and a Cornishman would
be practically a foreigner to both; but
| the national lige in the most remote
corner of our Texas is the same that
courses in the piney woods of Maine,
and the language is the same. A wise
and travelled Englishman who landed
in this country for the first time feS
weeks ago, stated to me that nothing
impressed him here so much as,the
fact that journey of 5000 miles over
land, and 5000 miles brought him to
the same language, while a journey
of one hour to the continent of Eu-
rope, carried him into entirely strange
conditions.

But the extension of territory and
the forward movement of the people
will come to an end. In fact the end
is already in sight, and the tide Of
population is setting back upon the
older states like the back-water of
flood. A new century and new con-
ditiOns confront us. The call is for
those who feel deeply and think
broadly, to guide our destinies as we
stretch forward to the unknown.
Now territory alone is insufficient
for the continued greatness of any
country. A concrete example is China
with a vast area and teeming mil
lions; all holding together like q pile
of brick, simply by reason of weight
and not because of any actual motion
between them. Wealth is also no
guarantee; for if so why are we call
ed on to record the almost complete
decay of Spain, though wealthy be-
yond hearts desire two centuries ago?
The Hindoo princes, puppets in
power swaddled in the lap of wealth
and surrounded by the flashing
glories of gems illustrate again the
tOolishness of resting on wealth for
perpetuity. Territory is nothing
without national character. Wealth
is as much. Furthermore, they that
have relied upon the sword have per-
ished by it. Alexander, the great,
made no permanent enlargement of
Grecian territory; the Hebrews under
David gained the full limits of their
territory and enjoyed it only during
one reign; the Roman Empire crum-
bled from mere weight as soon as I'M
selfish devotion was withdrawn.
Any widely read reader can multiply
combinations.

FASHION AND FADS.

Dressing was never more beautiful
than now, and there never was time
when greater thought was given to
the small belongings that really go to
make or mar toilet. II is easier to
recognize the really up-to-date, and
tasteful woman, by the appearance
of her neck, than by her gloves, boots,
or handkerchiefs and this is saying a
good deal.
fla woman desires to be really smart
of look and tailor made, she must
have her collars, of immaculate white
ness and without break.
Style like those worn by our grand
mothers in their own sweet gracious
fashion are being sent out by some of
the Partisan dress makers.
Never before were there so many
turquoise worn as now.
Some men contend that it is a phys
ical impossibility for a woman to turn
cravat deity. So be careful that
your tie is not in bunch under the
ear, fastened in string or not tied
at all.
The table for high tea" is usually
arranged without a table cloth, par
ticularly if the hostess happens to
possess a handsome table. Center
pieces and dOyles of pure white and
Mexican drawn work are at present
the top notch of style.
Very charming cloth street cos
tunes for the late winter season are
decidedly novel, with the bodice trim
med in the unique handkerchief style
The habit of wearing pearls over
high necked gowns is now a feature
of fashion.
All the spring tailor made gowns
must be extensively and elabOratelv
braided in the handsomest Persian
and Bourbon design.
Never wear a lowered silk ribbon
