PicGyupe says that the committee is
made up of two democrats, one an
archist, populist, one silver republi-
can, and a socialist as general mana
ger.
We can see no real objection to the
committee. Every man of them
stands on the Chicago platform with
both feet. Allen is as good a Demo
crat as Stone of Missouri; Stone is as
good a populist as Allen. There is no
reason in the world why they
shouldn't hook up together and pull
in the same team without stretching
the traces unduly. The gentlemen
who are running the democratic party
at present know what they are about
and they are not hiding their light
under bushel The gentlemen who
propose to rescue the party from this
coterie by eiecting a handful of gold
democrats to Congress, some of whom,
doubtless, will be too regular to
bolt caucus, have got a pretty hard
job before them.-BaltimOr News.

of the House while it remainsAtom-
mitted to the free silver doctrine of
the Chicago platform would be, then,
in the first place to give the death
blow to that sound-money Legislation
for which we have waited SO long,
and which has become at last,
through gains in the Senate, a prac-
teal possibility; and in the second
place, to invite the incalculable evils
which would attend a repetition of
such a campaign as that of 1896 Lei
those who relish this prospect help
to make sound-mOney legislation i'm
possible; those who wish to put a
quietus on the free silver trouble
will give their support to candidates
who are sure to work with the sound
money forces.

CARELESS of such a thing as political
principle, has been known for some
time, but Representative Kerr of
Pa, who is Secretary of the Commit
tee and who has done about all the
managing hat has been done for it,
candidly stated that it was reason
ably certain that the republicans
would control the Senate after next
March, and that the sole object Of his
committee in this campaign was to
elect majority OF the House
that would block republican leg
islation. He also stated that even
if the House should be controlled by
anti-republicans, there would be no
legislation because Of differences in
opinion as to what policy should be

confesses that opposition to repub-

that the voters will block this little

The position of the Democratic
party in the Sixth district on every
public question still continues to be
as uncertain and ineXplicable as here
tofore, With the election day but
two weeks off one would have thought
that the party or the candidate would
have ere this declared on some sub
ject, Does it expect to drift into of
flee and there with free unbridled
rein run away with peoples interest is
and the interests of the country?
Without Il pledge to the people should
its representatives be chosen, they
could upset the nations finances in a
moment and inaugurate a system
which would cause such damage that
years would be necessary to rectify
and mend. A candidate for Office
without principal or holding such
principals that lie dare not show them,
can scarcely be a fit man to represent
such community of varied and eX-
tensive interests. People want to
know when they are voting and in
this extraordinary state of affairs
when party and candidate refuse to
declare, the good common sense of the
people will call to mind what has been
the public utterances of the candi-
date and party previously, and take
those utterances as the declaration of
principals. Two years ago Mr. PofTen-
berger was leading the fight for Bryan
Washington county, afcl advocated
the free and unlimited coinage of sill
yer at the ratio of 16 to l. Since then
he has been quiet on any and all pub
lie questions. 1t is therefore fair to
presume since there has been no de-
NAL that he still has the same princi-
pals. He either has them or is
ashamed to say that he has none. 1t is
most remarkable condition and yet
the votes of the people are asked.

Senator Teller of Colorado.

parts Of the county conditions are
the same. Prof Palmer knows the
state of affairs. The question arises,
whether are we to make a step
forward or to remain as we are-in
the same old places. We are told
that Garrett county has the best
credit of any county in the state.
Then think it is our duty to try to
give to the rising generation, that
which is better than silver or gold
a good education.
knowing that in the education of
the masses lie the strength of our
government, and if Garrett children
are to contribute to the nation

The School Bond Question.

TO the Editor of The Republican.
Noticing in your valuable paper
the fine article written by Mr.. George
it has prompted me to add my mite,
not with the hope of presenting q
better article than Mr.. George but of
stating a few facts to the voters of
Garrett county that have been
noticed by your scribe.
| have observed that when the
question of voting on the bonds has
been announced to a voter he always
says he will not vote for the bonds,
and when the question is asked why?
they have all told me it will increase
the taxes. ] think it will help our
cause greatly if all the facts pertain
ing to their issue would be explained to
the voters. They seem to take diff
ferent view after they understand the
facts of the case. Let us pause a
moment and view the situation.
Allegany county has a taxable basis
OF real and personal property amount
ing to seventeen millions of dollars,
and has bonded debt of two
hundred and five thousand dollars.
The greater part of the money arising
from the sale of the bonds is used for
school purposes. What is the result?
A splendid school system-as good as
any in the state-excellent school
buildings, good salaries for the
teachers and a term of school lasting
nine months With such conditions
the schools have good attendance
and with the surroundings it would
certainly be conducive to advance
ment on the part of the child.
Now let us take a look at Garrett
county with a taxable basis of real
and personal property amounting to
seven millions and bonded debt of
six thousand dollars. Our sister county
with wealth of two and a half times
our own county and bonded debt
of twenty five times our bonded debt.
Should we increase our bonded debt
the twenty-five thousand dollars our
sister county's bonded debt would
still exceed our bonded debt six times.
Let me state to you the conditions
of affairs in my home district
number nine. We have school
population of two hundred and fifty
children. We have three school
buildings in the district-less than
any district in the county. The
Beall school is a room 20x30 IT, and
has to accommodate eighty children.
The johnson school is large enough
to accommodate all of it's pupils who
number about fifty. In the north
western part of the district are about
thirty-two children who are denied
the privileges of an education, al
lowed to grow up in ignorance all on
account of having no schoal room.

letter to the republican candidate for
Congress in his district:
While | claim to be a democrat,
and one of the olden time, | desire
not only to congratulate you on your
fifth nomination by the republicans
of this Congressional district, but to
assure you that unless the democratic
nominee is as much opposed as you
are to the financial vagaries of the
Chicago platform, and is as willing
as you to publicly declare his opposi-
ton, shall do all | can to aid your
reelection by as large a majority as
you ever had.
There are plenty of gold democrats
who know what the issue in this
campaign is.

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.

WASHINGTON, ID, c., Oct. II, 1898.
President Mckinley talks with the
greatest enthusiasm of his experience
on his western trip. Although it was
a period of hard work for him, as in
addition to the speeches he made andl
the receptions he held, he transacted
a great deal of Important ,;ss.d, ifai ,bbS,ss-
inesss, having been accompanied by
two secretaries and in constant tele-
graphic communication with Wash
ington, he says he would not have
missed the object lesson in the patri-
otism of the people which he saw
everywhere, for anything. He will,
this week attend the peace jubilee at
Philadelphia and possibly make a
short trip further east. President
Mckinley will not talk politics for
publication, but his personal friends
know that he is pleased with the po-
litical information he received on his
trip and that he is perfectly confident
that the country will emphasize it's
Endorsement of his administration
and its great accomplishment by
electing II republican majority of the
House to assist the republican Senate,
which will exist next March, in carry
ing out his policy and in maintaining
and adding to the prosperity which
the country is now enjoying as di-
rect result of republican legislation
and administration His confidence
in the success of the republicans in
the Congressional elections is shared
by all the party leaders who are in
Washington.
In a letter received in Washington,
Miss Lillian NJ. Kurtz, who has been a
nurse in the military hospital at San
tiago since July, says: Now, about
our work here among the poor soldier
boys. Well, everything is being done
for them within reason in spite of the
many reports to the contrary, as we
see in the daily papers, and | am sure
there is no room for complaint at this
end. They have eggs, at the rate of
ten cents per egg; soups, fresh meat;
in fact, they have everything the
island affords for their benefit and
comfort, and they have comfortable
cots and plenty of clean linen, etc,
and | really think, taking the circum-
stances into consideration, that they
are treated as well as they possibly
could be treated" Miss Kurtz is not
an amateur, but a regular graduate
of st. Luke's hospital at st. Louis,
and is therefore competent to Judge
of what she writes.
The Board of Army officers appoin-
ted to examine the Spanish small
arms captured at Santiago, has made
a report that seven thousand of the
Mauser rifles could be easily put in
condition to be used. The board did
not report on the question of using
these rifles in the army, but unless
there should come time when more
rifles would be needed in hurry than
we could get, there is no probability
that we will ever use them. The
Mauser rifle requires ammunition
that is not interchangeable with any
rifle used in our army That alone is
enough to prevent our making use of
these seven thousand rifles which can
easily be sold.

Interest At Home.

To the Editor OF The Republican.
We notice in the columns of THE
REPUBLICAE quite an interesting
question brought before the voters Of
Garrett county to be considered and
decided on next election day in re
gard to the school bonds.
There is no doubt we need school
houses within the bounds of Garrett
county but we would like to know.
provided the bonds carry, where
would the money be spent and who
would reap the benefit. We would
draw from the columns OF your val
ued paper the idea that houses would
be built at such places as would stop
the renting of other buildings for
school purposes which would make
three school houses within town linn
its, with the probabilities OF others to
be built in towns elsewhere. Not
having any guide to go by as to the
cost of school houses in town, except
we notice Oakland has a very fine
school house which we understand
cost $4,000. We notice the cost of
other houses $50. | suppose from
the cost of such buildings they must
have been built outside Of town linn
its. Surprising the houses which cost
1910 each would hold 40 scholars, if
we would consider the Oakland school
house to be as roomy as it was costly
it would hold quite number Of
scholars, but when we look at the
Oakland house we notice the expense
was not all for room, but quite an
amount must have been spent to sat
isfy town pride which cost Garrett
county's children the loss of most one
winters schooling. If we are to Judge
the future by the past we would like
to know, provided the bonds carry
and the school houses are built in
town, which we believe are meant to
be built, how much of 100000 would
be left to build school houses among
the buckwheaters or country iakes as
they are often called. We don't be
lieve that the majority of CARROTS
children would reap much benefit, if
any. a. j. LEE.
