1T MUST MEAN EITHER WAR OR
THE MILLENIUM.

True patriotism is indeed abroad in
our land. We were impressed with
this several weeks ago, and took occa'
sion to refer to it editorially. The at
tention of our readers was called to
the fact that when the President asked
for $40, 600, 900 to help put US on a war
footing, show quickly all responded
and in neither house was there dis
senting voice. Shoulder to shoulder
stood the blue and gray-protection
linked arms with free trade, and gold
and silver melting together by the
burning fire of patriotism formed an
alloy which will teach the treacherous
Spaniards what true patriotism is, and
show them or any other nation that
when our national honor is assailed
that there is no North, no South, nc
East or no West, but that we are q
band of united brothers who will fight
for the stars and stripes and whatsoever
assails old glory, will do SO at theil
PERIL.
But, never did we for one moment
think that anything short of the
millennium could possibly make oul
esteemed contemporary the Baltimore
Sun, admit that Senator German wa,
the leader of the Democratic party
But it did so admit it in its Washing
ton report of the conference between
President Mckinley. Senator Allison
as leader of the Republicans, and
Senator German as the leader of tn
Democrats. With the Sun and Cor
man linking arms together we cannot
only lick the whole world, but sigf
for others to conquer.

THE TRAMP NUISANCE.

The attention of the public has
been attracted for several days past
by the large number of tramps who
have made their appearance upon
our streets. Within ten minutes time,
ON Tuesday morning, twenty-seven OF
them passed given point on Main
street, Bel Air, and Mr.. Carroll Pen
nington, the overseer at the Couh-
ty Almshouse is reported to have had
under his charge one hundred and
twenty-six during the previous night.
Upon examining the reports of the
Almshouse, made to the County Com
missioners, it appears that that in
stitution, which is founded and is
supported by the taxpayers for the
purpose of providing for the main
tenance of the deserving poor and in
digent of Hartford county, has lodged
and provided with breakfast no less
than three thousand, six hundred and
twenty-six of these nomads during the
year 1897, the monthly report being
as follows:
January, 293, July, 206;
February, 1874; August, 257;
March, 794; September, 1877;
April, 294; October, 204;
MAY, POS; November, 263;
June, 102; Deem Der, 4I4.
and that during the months of Jan
uary and February 1898, seven hun
dred ninety three have been SO
treated, being an increase of over 20
per cent over the corresponding
months of last year. Add to these
the number Of seven hundred and
sixty-one tramps fed and lodged in the
county Jail and we have Il total OF
4, 1897 who have been taken care OF to
the extent of lodging and breakfast at
the expense of the county.
| Surely there should be some remedy
which could be applied. The mere
presence of these men, a majority of
whom have outlawed themselves, is a
menace to the peace and comfort OF
| the ladies and children of the county,
d number of whom are necessarily left
alone and virtually unprotected dur
the day. There is no doubt that there
are men in the vast army Of tramps
who traverse the country, who would
be willing to accept employment if il
could be obtained; but there are
others-and probably majority oil
the number-who scorn to earn theil
daily bread.
The county and State should not be
forced to lodge and feed these fellows
at the expense of the industrious tax
payers, and the jails and workhouse!
are now over crowded with them
Some other remedy must be tried

will cover the case. There are but 4,
few more days left for the work of thu

ing evil. The situation is becoming

JACOB TOME INSTITUTE.

The death of Jacob Tome, of Port
Deposit, last week, and his additional
bequest to the Jacob Tome Institute
at that place, of about two millions of
dollars, making this Institution his
residuary legatee, has placed the
school among the best endowed in
situations Of the land.
No other school in this country, or
perhaps in any country, having a
similar purpose in view, approaches
in amount the endowment of the
Jacob Tome Institute. Its object is
the training of boys and girls in the
subjects embraced in a common
school education and in the useful
arts Of everyday life. Situated as it
is on the very edge of Hartford county,
the growth and development of this
school, with its present princely en-
dowment cannat fail to be of great
value to the people of this county.
The total endowment of this institu-
ton, by it's venerable founder now
amounts to nearly $4,000,000. The
handling and expenditure of the in
come of this vast amount of money
for the special purposes for which the
institution was founded, will require
careful consideration on the part of
the trustees of the institution.
Jacob Tome has left behind him q
monument to his memory, which will
be useful and endurable throughout
future generations. To benefit and
educate the rising generations is a
motive and aim of the nobIest charac-
ter, and if man, by establishing and
endowing such an institution as the
Jacob Tome Institute, at the same
time erects lasting memorial to him
self, surely this does not detract from
the praiseworthy character of the act,
or diminish the widespread influence
for good accomplished thereby.

THE DANGER SIGNAL STILL
FLOATS

In sentencing George Plascher alias
Miller, to ten years in the penitentiary
Judge Walters gives warning to all
horse thieves that the danger signal is
still nailed to the flag pole OF Justice
on our Hartford county Court House.
There is no question but what horse
stealing is one of the most dastardIy
crimes criminal can commit and
should be severely dali with. Since
the time Hoon was sent to the Peni-
Tertiary for fifteen years this is the
first case in the county. In many
States the punishment is death, but
in this State the Legislature has seen
fit to make more humane penalty.
Horse thieves will hereafter see fit to
give Hartford county wide birth and
our good people can rest assured that
if they do not, wholesome justice will
be meted out to any who come swith-
in the clutches OF the law.
