Need a Better system.

Governor Lowndes' common sense
remarks to the tillers of Maryland
soil, who gathered at Annapolis in
conference Oh the important subject
of roadmaking are given elsewhere
and it is to be hoped that will give
an impetus to this important move
ment. The demand for good roads is
one of most urgent reforms of the per-
iod. What is needed is not spas
modic excess of enthusiasm on the sub
ject but steady and earnest effort at
improvement. The Baltimore San
strikes at one of the main features of
the problem in saying that a better
system is desirable. Work should be
done in a thorough and uniform man
ner, carefully and scientifically. The
Suns remarks are very pertinent,
and are, in part, as follows:
THE interest displayed in road i'm
provement at the meeting of farmers
held in Annapolis yesterday encour-
ages the hope that something definite
may be accomplished in that direc-
ton at the present session of the Leg
islature. There is no question about
the evil; the only question is as to the
remedy. The appointment of a com
mittee to draft bill for submission to
the Legislature is a step toward the
desired end and should produce a
measure that will be satisfactory to
all sections of the State. What is
needed, as was pointed out by some
of the speakers at yesterdays meet
ing, is a better general system of
road-making, based upon scientific
principles. Money will be needed to
inaugurate and maintain such a sys-
TEN, but money could not be better
or more profitably invested. At pres
ent we spend hundreds of thousands
of dollars every year in keeping our
roads in bad condition."

whisky tax produces already about as
much as it can be made to pay. To
increase the .tax on it would not
increase the revenue. But beer, wine,
tobacco, proprietary medicines and
matches could be made to pay from
sixty to seventy-five millions. A
stamp tax on checks and on legal and
commercial paper would produce
largely. An income tax and direct
taxes might be made to yield all the
revenue that is wanted.-Balto. Sun.

REMITTANCES:
THURSDAY, MARCH 3, 1898.
THE REPUBLICAN.

Just twenty-one years ago to-day,
March 3rd, 1877, Capt. James A. Hay
den issued the first number of THE
REPUBLICAN. From the time of the
formation of Garrett county until
the above date the republican party
had no organ and was at disadvan-
tage in placing before the public the
principles of the party. Capt. Hay
den embarked in the newspaper bus
mess under adverse circumstances
but by his indomitable pluck he won
favor for his paper and to-day THE
REPUBLICAN stands at the head of
journalism in Garrett county.
Since it came into the possession of
its present proprietor it has made
even greater strides than under the
management of fits founder. 1t has
sought to make known, as widely as
possible, the resources of our county
and urged it's people to improve their
opportunities in every possible way.
1t has advocated more extensive and
more thorough educational facilities
and always espoused measures that
would elevate'the morals, add to the
knowledge and improve the comforts
of the people. 1t has, to ii great ex-
tent, been the lever that has taken
the control of county affairs from the
opposition and placed them in the
hands of the republican party, and
that, too, by majority that will be
hard to overcome. 1T shall continue
to advocate sthe principles of the
republican party and hopes to merit
the support of BITS large and ever in
creasing clientage by publishing all
the news of local Importance and
such literary.2 productions as shall
make it indispensable to every house
hold within the borders of the county.

THE Wyoming republicans have
decided to abandon the free coinage-
of-silver proposition which they in
serted in their State platforms in the
last two campaigns and plant them
selves squarely upon the st. Louis
platform. The advance in Wyoming

has been too much for the silver
cause, even In that section of the

SILVER bullion took another tumble
in the markets of the world the other
day on the announcement that Rus
STA had completed her plans for her
new financial system, under which
silver hereafter is to be purchased
and used only for subsidiary coin.
The latest quotations in New York
markets is 554 cents per ounce. This
is in marked contrast with the prices
less than ninety days ago. The mar
ket reports show the price of silver
per ounce on December 4th, 1897, as
60.3 cents, while on February 21st, it
was 554, with a downward tendency.

THE example with which the farmers
of this country have set in utilizing
their surplus money in paying off
debts is being followed, perhaps in
voluntarily, by the great enterprises
whose securities were largely held
abroad. The enormous trade bal
ances in our favor of the past year are
being largely settled by the return of
American securities for payment in
stead of sending gold to settle the
balance as has been formerly the GUS
tom. This change on the part of
European money lenders is believed
to be due to the constant agitation Of
the silver leaders and the fear which

and five sisters to mourn her early
death, which was a great shock to
the family and the neighborhood in
which she lived, and loved by all.
She was sick only a short time with
diphtheria. The deceased was de-
voted christian for about ten years,
always faithful at church and Sunday
school where she will be missed from
her accustomed place, but while it is
our loss it is her gain. Hers was a
triumphant death, being conscious to
the last. When nearing death she
said the valley was beautiful with
blooming flowers, but more beautiful
on the other side. She said to those
around her, "Weep not for me; | am
going home" To her brother she
said, II shall soon be we'll when l get
| to heaven" She never spoke OF
death but said she was going home to
heaven.
The funeral was conducted by the
writer at her late home on March /,
1898, interment being made at the
Harvey burying ground. We extend
out heartfelt sympathy to the be-
reaved ones, directing them to God
for comfort in this their sad bereave,

A WILD SCHEME,

The Cuban insurgent army pro-
poses to get up a sort of military
government Of its own. It is an
nounced that the army is to choose
a president and viceopresident. No
civilian Is to have u vote or voice in
the matter. According to this scheme
representatives of the various Cue
ban army corps will meet at Gu
bitas on October 1st and proceed
to set up ga constitutional govern
ment and to elect a president and
vice-president." There, are six
corps in the insurgent army and
each corps will send eight delegates
to this convention. These fortyo
eight men will have no restrictions
whether as to the scheme Of govern
ment they are to formulate. They
seem to be foolish enough to sup
pose that the million and a half
people Of Cuba viii accept with
out objection the government they
set up and the officers they choose.
AS soon as this convention Of
forty-eight has constructed It's
government the United States
will be notified that its services
are no longer needed in Cuba and
it will be requested to withdraw.
This farcial scheme is addition
al evidence that the Cuban ins
surgents are not now fit for self
government. The idea that the
little i%nsurgent army will be per-
mitted to cut aud fit a govern
ment for the whole island is too
ridiculous TO be considered Sc
riously, and yet the attempt to
carry out this absurd scheme
may preolpitate trouble between
our government and the insur-
gents.

TWO PREMATURE PRESS
DENTS.

President Masso, at Camaguay,
Cuba, and President Aguinaldo,
at AIalalos, Luzon, may harangue
md procalamate to their hearts
content, but Camaguay is not
Cuba, and Malalos is not Paris.
The Cuban commission is now
in session, and the details of the
Spanish evacuation will doubtless
soon be agreed upon. 1t should
be well advanced at the beginning
of the dry season in November.
Seven or eight months will then
follow in which American troops
can restore order and institute
good military government
throughout the island. When
order and peace T restored, and
prosperity begins to show it's
smiling face, and preparations for
crops are we'll advanced, then a
plebiscite may be possible, but it
is doubtful whether the needful
governmental and sanitary re-
forms can be inaugurated and
established in a single year. I'm
til they are, no popular appeal is
admissible. The insurgents must
learn to proceed slowly. Many
matters need Investigation and
rectifcation. The representative
nature of President Masso's re-
public needs looking into, and
this cannot be done until the is
land is fully occupied.
President Aguinaldo is more
bumptious than his Cuban brother
but he, too, will have to await So
buttons and results that are alto
gether beyand his control. Paris
first, and the Americans after
wards, will have something to dc
in settling the Filipino question
It is very knotty, and President
Aguinaldo should pardon some
delay. He asks the Americans to
return to America, leaving hin
and his associates to manipulate
the islands that Dewey's genius
conquered. IF he does not become
too urgent or i~nsistent, all vii
be well. If he does, he may need
lesson or two; but the chances arr
very good that both Of the new
fedged presidents-Masso il
Cuba, and Aguinaldo in Lazon-
IRE simply feeling their way ant
airing their feelings in the Gus
tomary grandiloquence of thei-
respective localities. There vii
be no serious trouble in eithe
case, and the end is not in sigh

LEES CORPS
Said to Be i'm for It--NO Relief
for Volunteers in His Cons
mand

Washington, September 22.-
The War Department is every
day receiving applications from
friends of volunteer regiments
to have organizations mustered
out, and the probability is grows
lug stronger that a further re-
duction Of the volunteer force
will be ordered within a short
time.

there was hardly a regiment in
the whole army which had not
applied for discharge, aud in eb-
solufely all the regiments there
was apparently "a large number

remain longer in the service The
volunteers enlisted, he said, TO
see active service during the
war: and now that the military
duty required is simply such as
the regular army will be re-
quired to perform in time OF
peace, volunteers are impatient
to be relieved.
The War Department believes
| that the volunteers now at the

ing the corps of General Lee
will be almost sufficient fer re-
quired garrison duty,
