in pleasant social chat and in feasting and
will long linger IN the minds OF all who were
present as one thoroughly enjoyable.
Adjoining the Catholic church property
on the north, is a tmali triangular lot OF
ground which is frequently referred to in 9
very uncomplimcntary way. 1t is known az
the dump" and while the lot is we'll SET
with bushes, the odor sometimes arising from
this locality is not at all like unto that Of

all kinds, dying disease, should be buried
securely out Of sight and smell, but Just what

earthen and iron ware, is hard to tell. Ths
drainage from this dump is directly into

A Grave Crisis.

There is little room to doubt that We are
approaching, and with celebrity not fully
appreciated period of greatest gravity in
our relations with Spain and Cuba. Even
before the Maine disaster it seemed to be
growing palmer every day that Spain. real
izing that she must eventually lose Cuba,
would solve the problem Of her own dis
honor by making choice Of the lesser of the
two, viz: defeat at the hands of the United
States and consequent loss of her West
India possessions. as against being forced to
yield them up to themselves, weak as they
are
Viewing these two propositions from the
Spanish standpoint, we see how immensely
less will the former lower the National pride
and how very little more will he the cost IN
human life and money. This we believe to
be the position of affairs in Spain and upon
the outcome rests the safety OF the present
dynasty. The Carlists are yet active in
Spain and they are known to be using Cuban
affairs as propaganda against the govern
death issue in Spain and foreign war with
us) would make every Spaniard a Spanish
patriot instead Of a revolutionist, hs will be
the case when Spain is driven by Cuba alone
to consent to Cuba's freedom,
Up 10 the time of the Maine disaster, the
war party in this country comprised only
the real jingoes, those who do nought but
pose as fighting patriots, very inconsidera-
bic minority: the real earnest, humanity
loving patriots were not numbered among
them. The blowing up of the great warship
has wrought change; not that great wave
of anger is to be seen rolling over the coun-
try, 1t has not come to that, but the grave
suspicion that attaches to the incident has
poisoned the mind of the people and we are
living under the greatest tension. Let the
Official report be 10 the least unsatisfactory
or the court be divided in its views as to the
cause or occasion of the explosion-whether
from within the warship or from without by
torpedo or mine-and there will be Spain
opportunity, for such will be the temper Of
our people, that Spain may even be able to
lay the blame for war at our door. 80 slight
q thing need she then do to rouse an anger
here past curbing or restraining and she
will have gained her point-the loss Of Cubs
through not dishonorable defeat at tn,
hands of the great American Republic.
We are not of those who apprehend s
storm upon the approach of every cloud; ".
do believe that avoidance Of war with Spair

Two FADs.-That game laws and good
roads, are pertinent questions for discussion
and legislation no one can question, but the
extreme views held by many who are today
pressing them prominently to the fore, are
calculated to bring both into disrepute.
As to the f'rmcr, we are not of those who
assume that every creek and rivuiet in the
state is to be preempted by the fancy" ard
that owners of the land through and over
which these streams flow haye no rights that
"spol tsmen" are bound to respect. Neither
do we accord 10 the owners of these lands
the right to dam and weir streams at their
own sweet will. There should be a right
accorded to one and privilege to the other,
but when Dr.. Nassamore assumes to say that
no fish shall oe taken except with hook and
line and even then no black bass less than
twelve inches, we say that that is piere Of
unwarranted presumption. Break up the
fish dam nuisance everywhere; stop SEEMING;
make o closed season to protect the fish
while spawning; make eight inches the min,
imum size; give the farmer special protection
for his crops on the banks and we are with
you--otherwise, not.
As to the good roads" movement, We
favor it, but the good fat job" part Of it
the salaried road eugineer--we are old
fashioned enough to oppose. The simple
truth of the matter is, that bicycists are at
the bottom of this business and We are will
ing to assert there is no ono class of personal
property In the State of Maryland that is SO
nearly wholly exempt from taxation as are
bicycles. They are largely owned by young
men and women, who own little ether per.
sonal property and who pay no taxes, in a
word, the State and Counties receive no
revenue from them, turnpikes get no toll
but they behave IS though they owned the
earth and expect to get the fulness thereof
We have no occasion to feel spiteful toward
them. in fact, have no feeling whatever in
the matter; We see certain state of things
and plainly say so.
Good roads are blessing to any country
and We want them in Frederick County, bu,
we do not care to have fancy system folst.
ed upon us by those who do not have to
count the cost because they do not have tc
meet it. Propose the very best plan of road
making; formulate some good system d
financing to cover the expense and leave il
to home rule to carry it into execution, and
we will second you, but when it comes te
county made bicycle paths on several mair
thoroughfares, while eleven of the lively,
hundred miles of Frederick County roadl
remain quagmres during the season of th,
year that they are not devils racecourses
We object.
