We are opposed to state Appropriation for
Johns Hopkins University. We are surprised
to see the great scholars of the University and
the rich men of Baltimore city begging the
Legislature for an appropriation. II the
state can afford to spend any more money on
schools, give it to the common schools where
are educated the boys and girls into whose
hands, as men and women, the affairs of the
state will fall.
Let the people who wrecked the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad and impaired the value of
the Johns Hopkins endowment, put their
hands in their rich pockets and make it good
from their stock jobbing profits.
There are thousands of people in the state
widows and orphans amongst them, whose
incomes have been diminished or destroyed
by the same Baltimore and Ohio mismanage-
ment Is the Legislature asked to recoup
them? No, but it is asked to tax them on
what they have left to recoup the University.
What pity DIR. Gilman, or some other
friend of the University, did not suggest to
the late Euoch Pirate to leave million and a
half to the Johns Hopkins, provided the Gen
eral Assembly would change its name to the
Johns Hopkins and Enoch Pratt University.

Leon Albeit became Governor in the
first year in the above list. He found
the State nearly bankrupt. His message
to the Legislature and the personal fight
which he made secured the passage of
the Railroad and Corporation Tax laws.
The State was saved by him, and since
then there has always been a surplus,
which by the close of his first term rose
to over s2os. ooo.
Then came a period of Republican SUI
premacy in the Legislature, eliminating
in 1883 with a reduction of the surplus to
si69. $40. IS, as given above in Mr.. Ham
cocks table.
In 1889, the Legislature became Demo-
cratic. The surplus took a leap to $241,-
$780, IS. See Mr.. Hancock's figures above.
In the next year, 1890. Leon Albeit again
became Governor. The surplus jumped
to s433, 760S7, ant it continued to grow,
until, when the State was turned over to
a Republican Legislature, in 1894, it was
