The School Board Question.

To the Editor of The Republican.
On the Sth day of November the
voters of Garrett county will decide
by their ballots at the polls question
which will be for or against the flu
ture welfare not only of every boy
and. girl in Garrett, but will have a
great deal to do for or against the
future welfare of our county. Each
voter when he enters the polling booth
to mark his ballot will have a duty to
perform which as true American
citizen he dare not shrink; he will
there have the privilege and right to
vote for or against school bonds. In
my opinion the question is a very i'm
portant one and should at least
receive the careful attention Of every
voter in our county and | hope that
both sides of this great question will
be thoroughly discussed in the county
papers between this time and election
day.
What is the situation? Simply this
that the boys and girls of Garrett are
not being given the same chance to
obtain common school education
that the boys and girls are receiving
in other counties of our state and in
other states of the nation. While
nearly all of the counties in Maryland
have from seven to ten months of
school each year, Garrett county is
having from thirty. five days to five
months. What will be the result?
The boys and girls who gather
around the hearth stones of Garrett,
who. love this county as their home
and who are so unfortunate in regard
to a chance to develop the minds
which God has given them, will have
to become "hewers of wood and draw
ers of water" for those who were
fortunate enough to live in other
counties of Maryland.
The state, it is true, treats us badly;
this we cannot remedy at this time,
but we can do something ourselves

LOSt-One Line.

Lost: On or after April 81, 1898, be-
tween Marylandand Pennsylvania, one
line, bearing the name of the makers,
Mason & Dixon, and used for some
years past to divide two parts Of the
country. 1t is supposed to have been
surreptitiously removed south of Key
West, or to have been stolen by the
Spanish, to bind raft on which to
get home. No reward will be paid
for its return, as its former owners
have gone out of the division bust
ness.-Hardware
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1898-10-06

The spectacle presented by the dem
ocratic party in this State is pitiful.
1t is controlled by ring which by
years of mismanagement, jobbery aud
fraud, has driven all self-respecting
democrats from participation in its
councils. This ring, with shameless
audacity, is trying to elect men to of
fees who have not declared them
selves for any principle or principles,
but are simply inviting people to vote
for them for their own personal ag-
grandizement and that of the ring.
1t is a pitiful sight to see a party,
which has commanded the respect of
its opponents without single prin-
ciple, without a single thing to offer or
to commend it to the people, and with
candidates in the field asking to be
supported from no other reason than
that they belong to a ring which has
fed for years on the public. Conven-
tion after convention has been held
by the democrats and the only thing
that was done by any of them was an
indefinite meaningless renewal of al
legiance to issues that have long since
been buried by the dead past.
The democratic party in Maryland
as it now stands, with the cool and I'M
scrupulous German leading, is like the
French army when it was at the foot
of the Alps, with Napoleon command
ing, cheering his men on with the sig
nificant cry, as he pointed to Italy,
"Your reward is there
From what high estate has it
fallen and the bowling dervishes'' of
the machine endeavor to confuse the
people by storms of abuse, false ar
guments and misrepresentation
The position of the party is undig
nified, unenviable and pitiful.
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1898-10-06

The ardent democrat is ever anxious
to show that party is economical and
that it has saved the State vast sums
Of money. Here is a report of thrifty
financiering, however, in the interest
of this State to which the democratic
politician is not likely to refer;
in two years, under Treasurer
Thomas J. Shryock, the State of
Maryland has received more interest
on deposits than in the previous thir-
ty years of democratic rule. General
Shryock has received from the banks
where the State funds are deposited
the sum of $33, 3S1. is. In the pre-
vious thirty years, during all of which
time the democrats were in control,
the amount received by the State
from the same source was $16,534 68!"
Comment is unnecessary. The intel
ligent voter will give credit to the
party which uses brain and thrift in
the management of public affairs.
The State has developed and pros
pered during the past two years, and
will continue along that line SO long
as safe principles govern the affairs
of the commonwealth.

When the Dam Bursts.

There is an unwritten law, yet one
punctiliously observed, that an Off
Ger in the service of the United States
must not talk for publication, says
the New York Herald.
This finds Colonel William J. Bry-
an, the Silver King, yet only a vol
unteer officer, in a dreadful dilemma
He is chock full of ideas. He de-
claims to himself in his tent by the
hour. He has viewed the country up
and down from his perch on a field
officers horse. He is pent up Utica
without a safety valve, a prophet
without a word in his own country.
1.-The tongue tied ferryman'o of ancient
and vulgar lore is nothing to him.
Some day the blue uniform of Uncle
Sam is going to be dotted by the gal
liant Colonel, and then-well, as he
himself says: you know how it is
when dam bursts; there is no telling
when the flood stopsr'
we beseech the government to keep
this gentleman in commission. Cuba,
Porto Rico, Luzon yearn for his SER
vice. The blue uniform could never
be put to better service-at once an
ornament and stop gap. Heavens
help the day when the dam bursts
AS Colonel Bryan says:-"There is no
telling when the flood would stop

Cider.

Apples are plentiful, and that means
that cider will be. But that does not
so much matter, for the cider does
not appear to have the flavor it had
away back in the SOS. They have
new tangled ways of making it now.
The apples are ground in some kind
of a castiron hopper, run by steam,
and the juice is pressed out by some
new tangled arrangement which to
our mind gives a new and different
flavor to the liquid and destroys all
that old-tine sweet cidery flavor
which all men of middle age who were
reared on the farm so well recall. We
blame the change to the new cider
mill. The old time mill is gone. Who
does not remember it as it stood by
the roadside; the old cider mill with
its wooden burrs and hopper with u
sweep attached, to which the horses
were hitched and ground the apples

\ Shooting ARRAY.

Last Saturday morning what came
near being a tragedy occurred at
Hutton. Charles Harmon, a colored
man, working at the grading of 5S-
cut near Hutton, had some alteration
with John w. White, the boss under
whom he worked; it is said the trouble
grew out OF Harmon not being on
time to his work. Words came to
blows and in the tussel that ensued
Harmon was getting the better of
White when they were separated by
some of the other men, This it was
supposed would end the matter and
Harmon started for the contractors
office to get his time and quit, going
roundabout way 50 as to escape
White. White also went to his house
and procured q double barreled shot
gun and started in pursuit of Har-
mon. When within twenty yards of
him White discharged both barrels of
the gun, but the shot did not take
any serious effect, although Harmon
fell to the ground. White then went
up to him and beat him on the head
with the gun, bending the barrels
and breaking the stock into splinters.
Harmon was brought to Oakland
, Saturday afternoon and his wounds
dressed by the jail surgeon. White
disappeared and no trace of him
could be learned until Monday night
the authorities were notified that he
had returned to his home and Deputy
Brown went up and arrested him
bringing him to Jail. Tuesday after
noon both the participants in the
affair were brought before Justice
Sincell. White waived Il hearing and
gave bond for his appearance at the
March term of the Circuit Court.
Harmon, being unable to give bond
for his appearance ut the next term
of court, was remanded to Jail.

Mr.. A. f. George, state fish COM
missioner for the Western Shore, was
in Baltimore last night. In speaking
of the work done by the commission
he said it was the body's intention TO
break the record as far as fish culture
was concerned. He said: I'VE shall
take out 1000 small black bass and
distribute them along the Youghio-
gheny river in Garrett county, next
week and we expect to liberate large
numbers of young bass along the Pc
tOmac river.
Il have at last succeeded in COM
plotting the arrangements for the pro-
pagatiOn of bass in Druid Hill Park.
| have been notified that the lumber
required to partition off the ponds is
now on the ground and | shall start
this week at once. We have already
sent to the park ponds brood bass,
which will be used as stock fish and
with fair success by next spring we
expect to have large supply to dis
tribute in Maryland waters
The hatchery in Druid Hill Park
will be run to its full capacity this
winter in Matching rainbow and
brook trout, which are in great de
mand in the State"
