Clear the Walks.

Yesterday notice Was served on
many of our citizens by the town
authorities to clear their pavements
OF snow. In some instances the no.
tice had sanitary effect, in others
the opposite One of the largest real
estate owners of the town wanted to
know whether the crossings had been
cleared of snow before he set to work
on his pavements.
Considerable complaint has been
made since the fall of snow concern
ing the condition of the walk con-
Meeting Second and Railroad streets
When the Mayors attention was
directed to it he was of the opinion
that the walk was not under the care
of the town officials as it had been
erected by private parties for the con
veLience Of those having business at
the station. Be that as it may the
walk is still covered with two or more
inches of snow and ice and is danger
GUS for persons to cross in its present
condition.

The Observation-Disclosures.


On Wednesday night of last week,
at the opera house, under the direc-
ton OF Mrs. Geo. T. Brew, there was
rendered by local talent one Of the
most beautiful rs well as the most en-
PERTAINING productions witnessed in
Oakland for a long time.
The play, the Chronothanatoletro
derived from the Greek and Latin,
represented machine by which those
dead centuries ago, were brought to
life again, dressed in their ancient
clothes, and made to stand before the
audience in all their gorgeousness and
splendor. There was Elizabeth, the
Protestant queen of England; Cleo
patra, the beautiful though intrigu-
ing queen of Egypt; Pharoah's daugh-
ter, who lamented the loss of Moses;
Sarah, the wife of Abraham; Martha
Washington, by her kind words and
domesticity sought to teach the pres
ent generation an art which it has in
a certain degree departed from.
Other characters of a later date were
also represented by numerous young
ladies of Oakland, all of whom played
their parts well.
The entertainment was a success
both socially and financially and great
credit is due those having it in charge

The Poll Tax.

To the editor of The Republican.
For the benefit of your Blooming
ton correspondent and of my friend
S. p. B., of Mt. Lake Park, who wrote
the. letter for last weeks REPUBLICAN
in favor of longer terms Of school, |
want to say that the only way to get
the poll tax which they advocate is to
get an amendment to the Declaration
of Rights of Maryland. If you will
read Article 10, you will find this to
be the case.
The representatives from this coun-
ty, led by Senator Ravenscroft last
winter, were always ready to do all
they could to advance the interests of
the schools of our county, but they
could not enact a law fora poll tax in
Garrett county or the State of Mary
land either, if they had tried, as it
would have been unconstitutional
and the people of the state would
have to say by their votes that they
were in favor Of it, which they did not
do when they voted upon it seven
years ago, at which time they voted
the amendment in favor of poll tax
down nearly as bad as our people
voted down the school bonds at the
last election.
Keep up the agitation, but look for
the remedy in some other direction
than the poll tax, to which I do not
object if we could get it.
Respectfully yours,
A. r. GEORGE

CHAUNCEY M. DEPEW
Delivers an Address at the Omaha Ex-
position.

Omaha. Neb, October s.-The announce
ment that Hon. Chauncey M. Depew would
deliver an address on behalf of New York
during the exercises incident to New York
day at the exposition, attracted a very
large number of people to the auditorium
medley of popular select ons by Innes
band was played and Hon. Warner Miller
was introduced as the presiding officer of
the day.
In presenting the orator of the day Hon.
C. M. Depew Chairman Miller said he had
no opportunity to look over the grounds
to see what sort of an exhibit New York
had made, but he now had the pleasure of
presenting the best exhibit 1t was capable
of making and this he was confident would
take the gold medal, the exhibit of a man.
When Mr.. Depew arose to deliver his ad-
dress he received the most dramatic and
inspiring greeting that has been rendered
to any exposition orator. An innovation
of handclapping began spontaneously in
every part of the house. Then the band
Joined in with the melody of ''Auld Lang
Syne." This lent new insp ration to the
applause and the entire audience arose to
its feet and cheered tumultuously for sew
eral minutes.
After gracefully expressing his appre-
ciation of the royal reception, Mr.. Depew
proceeded to deliver one of his characteris-
t.cally eloquent orations which was fre-
quently appauded.

TARIFF MUST Be :
GREATLY MODIFIED
The Santiago Schedule Will Not
Do for the Island.
RATES ARE FAR TOO HIGH
Nearly All Railway Supplies Are Du-
table at Nearly 100 Per Cent-Span-
ish Officials Will Put no Obstacles
in the Way of Americans.

Washington, October 8-Mr. Robert p
Porter had a consultation with Assistant
Secretaries Vanderlip and Howell today
and went over the special testimony which
he had taken as Cuban commissioner in
relation to the new tariff of Cuba. The
testimony shows beyond doubt that the
Santiago tariff will have to be greatly mod
flied before 1T can be put in force for the
whole island. The tariff adopted by the
United States was the tariff which Spain
enforced for merchandise coming from
Spain and hence was in favor of all arti-
cles produced or shipped from that coun-
try. Mr.. Porter in taking the testimony
has discovered that some of the schedules
are far too high and especially on articles
that Spain did not produce and was unable
to import from other countries and then
export to Cuba. The iron and steel sched-
ule, for instance, under the SAINT ago tariff
is high as the present Spanish tariff.
Nearly all articles of railway supplies, in
cluding locomotives, rolling stock, iron and
steel bridges, ETC., are dut.able at nearly
100 per cent. and this rate must be adjust
ed or the new tariff will be practically an
increase on the old, as 20 per cent. of the
cents on the dollar, or 10 per cent. in bank
bills at 10 cents on the dollar. 1t is there
fore arranged that the whole tariff be re-
vsed. To this end the testimony taken
will be written up and the reason given for
the change and the whole work gone over.
The idea will be to frame the tariff so
as to bring in sufficient revenue and at
the same time encourage in every possible
way the importation of all articles that
will help in the industrial and commercial
reconstruction of the islands
The treasury department will also take
up the question of the collection of GUS
toms duties in the newly acquired ports
and be in readiness to prosecute their work
the moment the ports come into possession
of the United States!
Mr. Porter reports we shall have no more
difficulty in doing this than in making the
usual changes in customs officials at home
when the administration changes. The
Spanish officials when the dates for the
transfer are settled will put no obstacles
in the way of the United States officials.

NEW DAILY FOR

The Morning Chronicle Will
Make Its Appearance Today.
THE RIVERS ARE BOOMING
Heavy Rains Will Result in Much
Damage to River Bottom Crops in
Northeast Alabama-Busy
Picking Cotton.
THE RIVERS ARE BOOMING

Montgomery, October 8.--(Special.) l.)-The
new morning daily, the Montgomery Chron-
icle, will make its first appearance in the
morning, and it's initial issue is looked for
with considerable interest. Messrs. Simp-
son and Lillard, who are at the head of the
new undertaking, are possessed of ample
energy and intelligence to make the paper
a go, and they promise to furnish the pub
lie a bright, newsy, democratic morning
paper just as long as a reasonable support
is accorded them.
Rivers Booming
The rivers in this section of the state are
on a considerable boom. Moderate flood
stages are reported in the upper and mid
die Coosa river and considerable low land
has been overiowed, though, owing to the
well-distributed warnings of the weather
bureau, no loss Of stock is reported.
Gadsden reports further heavy rains dur
ing the twenty-four hours ending at a. nr.
yesterday, and F'orecaster Chaffee of the
weather bureau has telegraphed supple
mental warnings to middle and upper river
points, saying that the rivers would con-
tinue to rise for several days, giving slight
ly higher moderate flood stages.
The recent rains over the upper water
sheds will also cause slightly higher water
at Montgomery than was anticipated sew
eral days ago; it is now thought that we
may have about a 29-foot stage here by
Sunday night.
Busy Picking Cotton
The big rush of wagon cotton is subsiding
somewhat; the warm, dry weather keeps
the hands in the fields picking cotton in a
hurry and making hay while the sun
shines. The local market is quoted quiet
and steady in tone at lis for middlings,
GIG for low middlings and 3-16 for good
ordinary, standard class.

VIM, STRUTS Death
The death of the Hon. William Strutt,
the son and heir of Baron Belqer, and
nephew of the Earl of Dunmore, who was
found dead on October 5 in the bath tub
of his apartments at the West End hotel,
st. Louis, Mo-, has recalled the romance
of the Belper family The first Belper was
a blacksmith, who helped Arkwright with
his inventions. When Arkwright made MS
first spinning frame he found the threads
twisted. Greatly chagrined, he went to the
blacksmith, who said he would remedy the
matter on condition that he receive hal1
the profits on the invention for ten years.
Arkwright, it is said, agreed to this, where
upon the blacksmith rubbed his hand over
one of the cylinders and coolly said: THAT
is all it wants.
He had chalked his hand and had Gre
ated a rough surface where Arkwright had
too smooth ones.
