A GLORIOUS FEATURE.

One of the most glorious features of
of the outcome of the late campaign
was the defeat of Towne in the Sixth

that the silver question is still an is

people Of that district meant what they
said two years ago and that his at

Public improvements.

Some people are always agItatng tor alter
ations, changes and improvements, scarcely
ever stopping to consider the cost Some
woud have all public roads macadamlzed
some want more bridges, some want more
school houses and some want a new JAN and
a new and separate house for the Sheriff.
All these are desirable, and larger salaries
for school teachers, for the County Commits
sioners. the County Treasurer, and other
officials also, but the people cannot afford
them.
Although Carroll has lower tax rate than
any other county and but a very small debt,
still at the end of the fcal year ending June
so, last, the amount Of uncOllected taxes, and
interest was 500, 743.02. This amount is
owed by many people, and it safe to assume
that the great majority of delinquents have not
paid simply because they did not have the
money The well-to do pay their taxes III
August, and thus make the two per cent dis
count on county taxes and five per cent.
on state Persons struggling under debt and
mortgages. with dull business and with low
prices for agricultural products, cannot al
ways do this, and this is the class, mainly,
who owe the 500, 1892 in taxes and interest
due last June.
To further burden these people with in
creased taxation means harder struggle for
them, and an increase of taxation will per-
haps increase the number of deinquentS and
the amount of overdue taxes. While new
Jail, separate house for the sheriff. better
roads, more school houses, &C., are desirable,
the times are not propitous for them. There
are lots of things individuals would like to
have, but must deny themselves because they
have not the money to CRAFTY their wishes
And the people collectively must do without
many things that are desirable because tax
alton, county, state and federal, is already
burdensome.
Before recommending or advocating i'm
provements people should first consider the
cost and then consider whether tax -payers
can stand the necessary taxation to pay for
them,

McComas Ineligible.

Some excitement was raised in Republican
political circles last week by an article in the
Washington Post which endeavored to show
that Judge Louis f. McComas was not quail
fed for a seat in the United States Senate
from Maryland to which he was elected by the
General Assembly last winter. The case was
not fully argued or set forth in the Post, but
it was sufficient to create a stir, and to move
the Baltimore Sun, through its Washington
bureau, to take up the matter. The Sun re-
preventative got but little comfort in Nc
Comas' behalf from those whose opinions
were worthy of attention, and it gave conSid
cradle space to an interview with Ashley NJ.
Gould, a member of the Maryland House of
Delegates from Montgomery county, a young
politician, youthful statesman. and gen.
tleman more noted for personal pulchritude
than mental capacity.
Mr.. McComas is clearly not entitled to
seat in the Senate. He holds life position
on the bench of the District of Columbia,
lives in Washington, and his only claim to be
an inhabitant of Maryland is that he is on the
registration books in Washington county by
order of an associate judge, whose decision
in the matter is directly contrary to the unan-
imous opinion of the Court of Appeals of
Maryland in very similar case-in fact in a
case that had better standing and more
merit than that of Judge McComas and to
the fact that he and his family spend the
summer months at the home of his father-in-
law at Willamsport. In special correspon
dence from Washington, published in this
issue, Judge McComas' title to a seat in the
Senate is very ably discussed Recognized au-
thority is quoted, and numerous precedents
cited to show that the Judge is ineligible, and
we direct special attention to the letter of our
Washington correspondent. 1t is able, clear
and convincing, and while partisanship may
intervene in Mr.. McComas' behalf it seems
certain that his title to a seat will be ques
toned when he presents himself to take the
oath of Office.

The Telephone Monopoly.

Attention is called to all article in another
column with the above caption, taken from
the Philadelphia Ledger, on the profits ex-
tortien and bad service of the Bell Telephone
Company where it has no competition. The
telephone has become as much a necessity as
railroads and telegraph, and knowing this
necessity of the business world the Bell Com
pany taxes the public to the fullest extent it
will bear. In New York the charge is S24O
a year. in Philadelphia $160, and in Detroit,
Michigan, $50. There is competition in the
latter city, hence the moderate price.
Since the Bell patents have expired numer-
Gus companies have sprung up all over the
country. Wherever these new companies
have been organized the Bell Company has
invariably reduced rates, and i'll many places
they have sought to destroy local companies
by putting rentals below theirs.
The rate in Westminster was $4,000 year
until the Western Maryland Telephone Com
pany of Carroll County was organized and
built lines. The Bell Company did not con
meet the various towns of the county with the
county seat and evidently had no intention
to do so, although this was promised when
the C. g. P. Company first began to organize
all exchange here One by one subscribers
here had their phones removed, because OF
the meagre service, until not more than tour
or FIVE were left. The great success IN eX :
tending lines and securing subscribers by The
Western Nd. Telephone Company caused
the C. & P. to improve its lines, establish pay
stations and reduce its rentals one-hali
Rut for the establishment Of a new telephone
company here the C. & p. rates would still
most likely be S4S.O0 a year, and the same
meagre service continued.
A company has been organized IN New
York city to supply phones at reasonable
rates. and it will not be long before the Bell
Company will reduce its rates to meet the com
petition. The new company expects to have
40. 600 phones on their lines, and those VIII"
have been extortioned upon will not be likely
to keep the Bell phones, even If the Bell
Company endeavors to meet the competition
bv making lower rates than the new com
pany proposes to charge.
