FOR GOOD ROADS.

The State road meeting in Annapolis on
Thursday of last week was great success.
Intelligent farmers and others interested in
good roads more than half filled the court
house room, where the advocates of the
movement assembled at II O'Clock. Several
members of the legislature were present,
including State Senator Day, who took an
active part in the proceedings. Governor
Lowndes attended the session. He was &C
companled by Commander E. g. S. Turner,
of the State oyster navy.
The Governor listened attentively to what
was going on, and then made a speech,
which gave great encouragement TO the pro-
moters of the cause of good roads. The
Governor referred TO the importance of the
meeting, and offered his assistance to any
measure that would benefit his farmer
friends.
After discussing the road question for
three hours, during which nearly every del
egate present had something to say, the
meeting appointed committee to draft a
bill to be submitted to the Legislature.
The Philadelphia Inquirer of Monday
last says: 1t is interesting to note that there
was a representative gathering OF Mary
landers at Annapolis on Thursday last to
discuss the question OF road improvement
and prepare bill on the subject to present
to the Legislature, which is now in session
The temper of the meeting showed conclu
slvely that the people OF Maryland were
willing to tax themselves TO secure decent
roads, and this may be said, too of the peo
pie oil other States In which the question is
being agitated. One of the speakers de.
clared that for more than twenty years past
large sums of money, varying from forty.
five thousand TO sixty thousand dollars, had
been annually spent on the roads of the
State, and that these roads are now IN
worse condition than they were when the
improvements were started. He estimated
that the amounts referred to, and the loss by
time and tear and wear to the present means
of transportation over the roads, are equal
10 an annual tax OF at least one dollar per
acre on every acre of land within the bounds
OF the State.
The States which have practically taken
up the matter Of road improvement have
found that the cost of the change has not
been greater than was the expense of main
tanning bad roads under the old system, and
it is not likely that before many years have
passed the antiQuated method of making
and mending roads will strongly obstrude
itself. The condition OF public roads largely
illustrates the spirit Of the people, nor is
there anything which would be more likely
to attract capital to Commonwealth than
highways which provide easy and comfort
able means OF travel and transportation.
The wealth and development of States
are largely bound up with this question.

NOT ONE CENT

Owing to the large loss to the Johns Hop
kins University, BY the bankruptcy OF the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company, in
which much Of the endowment fund was in
vested, the University has resolved to ask
State aid
The State did not establish this institution
and is under no obligations to aid it, nor has
1t any right to establish or aid an institution
of its kind. 1t floats mostly in the realms OF
theory, and is mostly valuable tor those who
desire to pursue studies outside of practical
bility. 1t deals 10 subjects other than theory,
and one can get first class education there
of practical value But the State has no
right to establish or aid even an institution
of that order.
The State is under no obligation 10 furnish
public schools. A system has been estab-
lished on the ground of public policy. I'm.
der republican form Of government, like
ours, the administration of affairs is good or
bad as the people are intelligent or ignorant
For this reasan the State has chosen, and
wisely, we think, to establish free school
system But even this system is getting too
expensive and is graded too high, A com.
mon school education (the three Rs) Is all
that should be furnished at public expense,
aud the State ought not to expend cent
for the maintenance of any but public
schools.
1t is stated that there are 1900 Hopkins
alumni who are Msrylanders, and who are
deeply interested in the welfare of the insti
tuition. Let them go down in their pockets,
then, and show their appreciation of their
alma mater by contributing of their means
to sustain it, If they contribute annually
$25, less than fifty cents a week, an annual
fund of $32,5 will result The trustee:
should aid in maintaining the University
and the president and faculty could assis
by accepting less salaries. Good world
without good works are as a sounding bras
and tinkling cymbal. At any rate, th,
State should not appropriate a cent TO sup
port the Johns Hopkins University - West

England with cheap sugar, why, 1t Is asked,

answer attempted to this question is that

ing IRON bounties on exports. Having
cheap sugar TO sell creates shipping interests
and trade connections that pay indirectly.
The trouble about this answer Is that It's

CHARGES AGAINST
 CAPTAIN COOPER.
Members of the Board of Visitors Claim to Have Been Discour-
 teouSlY Treated

WASHINGTON, June 11-Members of the board of visitors to the Naval Academy, who are said to have been displeased with alleged rude treatment accorded them by the Superintendent and other officials during their recent official visit to the institution, do not seem willing to discuss the matter. Representative Hilborn of California, who acted as the president of the board and is one of the leading mem bers of the House Committee on Naval Affairs, hints that the members of the board were not pleased with the recep- tion or treatment by Captain Cooper.
 He says that there will probably be an official investigation of the matter It is reported that he himself called the attention of the Navy Department to the alleged offenses of Superintendent Cooper and that if an investigation is made 1t will be at his instance.
 Captain Cooper has heard of the Congressman's complaint through of f1cial sources. He admits that such charges have been made.
 Lack of courtesy and want of discip- line seem to be the basis of the Rep resentatives complaint to the Secre- tary of the Navy against the Superin- tendent. Captain Cooper explained his conduct" in letter now in the hands of the Secretary of the Navy.

WEsTLAKE FOUND GUILTY.
Trial of the Monterey Embezzler on
 the Third Indictment.

SALINAS, June 1.-The trial of ex- Tax Collector Westlake on the third in dictment for embedding $371 license taxes collected in July, 1897 which has been in progress before Judge Dooling the past three days, was concluded at 4:30 this afternoon and given to the jury. Before the commencement of the trial Westlake's attorney asked for a dismissal of the indictment on the fol- lowing grounds: That he had been ac- quilted on one indictment, convicted on another and was again placed in jeopardy. The Judge gave no decision, but ordered the trial to proceed.
 At o'clock this evening, after hav- ing asked for further instructions, tho jury returned to the court with a yer dict of guilty. Westlake now stands convicted of embedding $321 license taxes in June and s371 in July, 1897 He has several similar ones against him and also four for embezzlement of de- linquent assessment taxes. His attor- neys will appeal to the Supreme Court, as in the case of the former conviction

 THE RIVER. Business Men Unite With the Agri- culturists in an Appeal
 to the City
 Council.
ASK FOR PERMISSION TO TAP
 THE RIVER.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

LOS ANGELES, June 11.-An exten- siveiy signed petition was filed with the City Clerk to-day by farmers having small ranches south of the municipal ity, asking for permission to use for time the waste water of Los An- geles River This water the agricul- tural1sts need to save their crops this year and to be provided against future drought. The plan is to take water twenty feet below the surface of the river to develop the underfiow which now goes on to the ocean and is of no benefit to any one. The point where development is to be made is in the city limits. It Is expected 5oo inches of water can be obtained. For one hour each day the petitioners agree to flush the city's outfall sewer to the sea with water, and the balance of 1t they ex- pect to convey by the Zanja system to their small ranches below the city. The petitioners agree that any time the city desires 1t can revoke the permission given and if the city itself ever decides to develop the underf1ow water of the river the permission Is revoked.
 A petition was filed by a number of wholesale and retail merchants, asking that the Council accede to the request. as 1t will save thousands of dollars worth of crops this year.
 This Is a rather novel request and as the petition. was filed very late 1t Is diff ficult to foretell what the action of the Council will be. A strong delega- tion of citizens will be on hand on Mon day to urge immediate action, for if this seasons crops are to be affected the work of placing water on the planted lands must commence at once
