To the Editor Of The Republican.
The correspondent from Blooming
ton speaks of u. poll tax as way of
raising money for the schools
am in favor of this tax and think
the majority of the people are in favS%
of it. The important question is, how
shall we proceed to get it? 1t is use
less to wait on our representatives
to the Legislature, for their attention
has been called to the matter. We
had several chances to vote for bonds
and it is evident that the people don't
want them. Now give us a chance to
vote for money poll tax and we shall
see whether or not the people are
willing to serve their country. If it
needs a legislative act to give us a
vote on poll tax, we beg for a chance
He also spoke Of dog tax. Inever
thought that taxing the canine family
would do much for education. Ever
since the Hunting season began the
stock and myself have been annoyed
by dogs and guns. Only few nights
ago, after going to bed, dog came to
our house with bell on. | got up
and told him to go home, but had
scarcely gotten back when the dog
returned and finished his serenade.
Now if a tax on dogs will either
raise means for school purposes or
keep the dogs outside my fence'I will
do all can for the cause except keep
a dog.
While head and dog tax are in the
future, | would reco mmend the fol-
lowing: That the county commits
sioners make an additional levy suf1i-
cient to build at least ten school
houses each year until the need of the
county is supplied. If anyone is op-
posed to this measure let him say so;
if not opposed, why not have it?
l would like to know how to i-p-
grass seed that is free from weeds and
filth. My crops were fairly good this
season. Among the rest | had a crop
of wild carrots, the seed of which |
got in clover seed | spent considera-
able time pulling them and don't
know how many may have to pull
yet. s.P.B.

The oId-fashioned Thanksgiving
family dinner is becoming a thing of
the past
In but one part Of our country does
it still hold its own. That is in New
England, where Thanksgiving is the
festival pre-eminence of the entire
year.
The religious significance of the day
is perhaps no more remembered than
in the Middle States, but as family
festival it is the red-letter day of the
3G5.
South of Mason and Dixon's line
Thanksgiving is observed by very few
and those few are NOrtherners who
have made the South their home.
We of the Middle States still keep
our Thanksgiving feast, but not as it
was kept thirty years ago.
Those who remember times long
past assert that then the last Thurs
day in November was much colder
oii''ii IL - nv anu llltib bllt was
made more cosy by the thought of
the snow and ice without, and the
sleighbells jingled merrily through the
city streets and along country roads.
Then the children and the chill
dren's children fiocked from the diff
ferent cities and towns towards which
they had fitted from the paternal
nest, and met to return thanks on the
old home.
For days before the festival the
house-mOther was busy preparing
dainties under which the table should
literally grOan; and it was a marvel
that the maxim, Let us eat, drink
and be merry, for tomorrow we die, :"
was not fulfilled to the dismal end by
the partakers of these repasts.

Washington, Nov. 22-At the Cabi-
net meeting today a brief telegram
was read which had been sent from
Paris by Judge Day. 1t was substan-
TALLY in accord with the newspaper
reports of yesterdays proceedings,
although no reference was made to
any excitment attending the meet
ing or to any open disagreement.
1t was stated that the next meeting
would take place tomorrow. The
Cabinet discussed the matter, and it
was the Judgment of the members
that there will be at least one more
meeting after tomorrow, even if
the Spaniards have concluded to re-
ject the Americans proposal.
Th cablegram said that a reply
from the Spanish Commissioners to
the latest memorandum submitted
by our Commissioners was expected
at tomorrow's meeting. No intima-
tion, however, had reached here as
to what the Spanish reply would be.
No doubt is entertained among MEM
bers of the Cabinet that treaty will
be signed within the next few days.
The Cabinet also discussed the
Cuban situation, and it was also de-
veloped that the Spaniards hope to
be able to complete the evacuation
of Havana by December 20.

and told stories of the war to a few Of
his old friends.
The girls of the town have simply
gone wild over him, and not few of
them have secured the much-coveted
honor of implanting a kiss upon ms

Hoarseness in child that is subject
to Group is a sure indication of the
approach ofthe disease. If Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy is given as soon
as the child becomes hoarse, or even
after the croupy cough has appeared,
it will prevent the attack. Many
mothers who have croupy children
always keep this remedy at hand and
find that it saves them much trouble
and worry. 1t can always be de-
pended upon and is pleasant to take.

from the coal fields of Maryland and
West Virginia to tidewater at Wash
ington. If the rivals of the b. & O..
should enter the fields, as the indica-
tions are that they will, the probabili-
ties are that Mr.. Cowan's corporation
will be obliged to pay Il good round
price for the property, and in that
way the State may secure a small
part of what it has invested in what
used to be called the great sink of
Maryland political corruption"
A leading German Democrats in
speaking of the proposed sale of the
canal, said
For many years Mr.. Cowan and
his friends have been accusing Mr.
Gorman and his friends of trying to
steal The canal, anu on one occasion
it was stated by the late Mr. Wallis
that the German people had stolen
or mortgaged everything but the
watch in the ditch 1t would be a
peculiar sequel to all these years of
controversy over it if Mr. COwan and
his friends should get it themselves
for comparatively nothing and trans
form it from Il waterway into a rail
way-the very thing they have fought
hardest against But | believe that
they will encounter considerable
trouble in completing their plans,
and ! should not be surprised if this
action of the Republican Board Of
Public Works should result in making
the Western Maryland counties Demo
cratic at the next election. AS the
chances are that the next General
Assembly will be called upon to ratify
whatever is done in the matter, the
people Of that part of the State will
oppose the party which is now in
power for this act 1t was the charge
that the democrats were trying to
change the canal from a waterway
which lost us that section, and now
it may turn that part of the Stat e
back to us. In fact, should not be
a bit surprised to see the canal ques-
ton resume its old place in Maryland
politics, and play q large part in the
next State campaign.'

Why fear about the future.

PARIS, Nov. 22-The Spanish
Peace Commissioners last night
telegraphed to Madrid the substance
of the United States 1nomoaanG5in.
presented yesterday, and late in the
evening they were discussing if
among themselves.
AS late as / o'clock this morning 3
Spanish Commissioners affirmed that
he and his colleagues did not know
what to do regarding the American
offer. There is a difference of
opinion among unofficial people near
the Commission, but the prediction is
made that Spain will decline the
American offer Of money, that she
will refuse to cede the Philippines
and will say to the United States:
You may take the archipelago
because you haye the power to do so.
As you advance We will retire, pro
testing against greedy aggression.
We will faithfully carry out our pro-
tocol pledges and leave Cuba and
Porto Rico i'll your hands You came
here to engage in discussion under
the terms Of the protocol, but YOU
evidently meant, when drawing M
that document, to provide Il confer
ence in which, though we differ, man
to man, you proposed to announce
at the proper time what you will do,
whether we agree to it or object.
Such an attitude robs the conference
of negOtiative character and sets up
the United States as a dominant
power, whose first purpose is to listen.
but whose ultimate determination is
to do its own Will"
1t is said today that Senor Montero
Rios, presidsnt of the Spanish Com
mission, at the conference yesterday
remarked after having heard the
American offer, that if the vital por-
tion bad been read the Spaniards
could answer it instantly, but as the
memorandum was very long thew
would defer their answer until
Wednesday, adding that it would be
easily possible to make it within -l8
hours. On the other hand, it is said
the Spaniards cannot justify them
selves before their people and others
by throwing away @200OO00O added
to the inevitable loss of the Philip
pine Islands.
