Not One Cent.

Owing to the large loss 10 the Johns Hop
kins University, by the bankruptcy of the
Baltimore & 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
it any right to establish or aid an institution
of its kind. 1t floats mostly in the realms OF
theory, and is m ostly valuable for those who
desire TO pursue studies outside of practica
bility. 1t deals in subjects other than theory,
and one can get a first class education there
Of practical value. But the state has no right
10 establish or aid even an institution OF that
order.
The state is under no obligation to furnish
public schools. system has been estab-
lished on the ground of public policy. Under
a republican form of government, like ours,
the administration of affairs is good or bad
as the people are intelligent or ignorant. For
this reason 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 common school
education, the three Rs is all that should
be furnished at public expense, and the state
ought not to expend a cent for the mainte-
nance of any but public schools.
1t is stated that there are 1900 Ho pklns
alumni who are Marylanders, and who are
deeply interested in the welfare OF the ms I'll
ton. Let them go down in their ocke is,
then. and show their appreciation of their
alma mater by contributing of their means to
sustain it. If they contribute annually $50,
less than fifty cents week, an annual
fund of $50, 500 will result. The trustees
should aid in maintaining the University and
the president and faculty could assist by ac-
eepting less salaries. Good words without
good works are as sounding brass and a
tinkling cymbal At any rate, the state
should not appropriate cent to support the
Johns Hopkins University.

A Philadelphia manufacturer in renewing
his subscription to the ADVOCATE, writes;
Mckinley was here yesterday. He continues to
be the Advance Agent of Prosperity, but we are
growing tired of the Advance Agent and would be
pleased to receive a little of the Prosperity
The country was promised immediate pros
perity upon the election of Mr.. Mckinley.
That event happened fifteen months ago. Mr..
Mckinley was installed President year ago,
and still he is the Advance Agent" just as
our Philadelphia friend writes. Congress has
held a special session and is half through
a regular one, and yet there has been no per-
ceptible Improvement in affairs. Further.
Congress has in effect declared that no fnan.
cial legislation will be attempted, and an ad
jourment will be effected by June or July
with the same conditions existing that pre-
vailed before the election of 1896.

WHY ARE WE SICK ?
HEALTH OF BODY IS PEACE OF MIND
AND WITHIN REACH OF MANY
NOW SUFFERING.

Disease, like the storm, gives mmistakable
signs of its approach. At first the threatened
patient experiences Il slight discomfort. lhls
is followed with pain to greater or less eN-
tent, and other symptoms follow III rapid sue
cession. 1t is in this condition of the system
that Jones Great Blood and nerve Remedies
will be found all potent. The administration,
either internally or externally, as the seat of
pain indicates, will arrest the progress of the
threatened diseases and quickly relieve the
patient from all pain or discomfort
If people, on the first indication of uneas-
ness or PAIN either slight or severe, would
take dose Of Jones Great Blood and Nerve
Tonic, as the symptoms may require, not one
in thousand would ever be troubled with
serious sickness. The natural remedies for
the diseases of man are to be found in the
vegetable kingdom Health is that state in
which all the different functions Of life are
performed in regular and efficient manner,
and the removal Of any distractions to their
ordinary action is the true field Of medicine.
Jones Great Blood and Nerve Tonic, being
purely vegetable, cleanses the bowels and
purifes the blood, and By removing all i'm
proper accumulations and local irritations
secures sound and healthy activity through
out the frame.

Trying to Break Contract.

Under the act by which certain portions of
Baltimore county voted to be annexed to Bal
timore city, property there was to pay GER
tain tax rate, about so cents on the 500,
until 1900. and after that only such portions
were to bear the city rate where there were
more than six houses on block. Mr.. Quasi
of Baltimore, wants to change this, and has a
bill before the legislature taxing all property
in the 2lst and odd wards at the city rate after
1900. The annexation act was a virtual con
tract between the people of those sections
where the annexation scheme was carried
and Baltimore city, and the Quasi bill would
be dead letter should it be passed and signed
by the Governor. Such legislation, or at
tempts at legislation, is a waste of time, and
the county members should sit down on the
Quasi bill

Democratic Responsibility for Leg
islation.

There IS little encouragement to be found Ill the
experience of the last few years 10 oHef ellnel
warning or advice to the leaders of the Democratic
party i'm this State. 1t certainly was not for want
of abundant and timely warning that they plunged
the party into the mre of three successive defeats
in the wears 1895, 1896 and 1897. ii tney are ulS
posed to repeat the same experience IN 1875 ana
1899 we do not know who or what power is to
hinder them.
The above is from the Baltimore S"" OF
Wednesday. The SIM then goes on to urge
the Democratic minority of the General As
sembly to assist the Republican majority in
carrying out certain purposes.
The SIN will not deceive anybody by this
appeal. 1t knows that the Republican party,
which it helped to power, is incompetent to
lesislate for the public good and it calls upon
the Democrats to come to the rescue and then
II can use the record of the Legislature to
again carry the state for the Republicans
We have no doubt that Mary and was car
ried by the Democrats at the late election,
bnt were cheated out of it by fraud in Balti-
more. This is a fact we'll known to the SIM
and Netrs but fraud is meritorious when it
rebounds to their advantage. They were so
bent upon the defeat of Senator German they
were willing to accept success by any means.
Upon the face of the returns, however, the
Republicans carried the city and thus the
state and legislature. By this verdict, though
fraudulent, the Republican party is charged
with the government Of this state. The
Democrats are under no obligation to assist
them, or minority Of them, to make good
record, which record would be used to the
advantage of the Republican party. This is
what the SIM, with specious argument, is urg-
ing the Democratic minority to do. But it
will deceive no one. AS the chief Republi-
can organ of the state let it direct its efforts
TO the control the Republican party. No
Democrat in the legislature, we feel sure, will
pay the slightest heed to one word it says.

Divers on Sunday recovered the cipher
code, the log of the Maine and many official
and private papers. A cablegram from
Havana to the New York Herald says:
"There is no disposition here to jump at con-
illusions, and even those who hold the opinion
that the Maine was blown up by mine do
not believe the authorities were party in the
most remote way to the diabolical act. They
do believe, however, that if their worst fears
prove true it will be found to be the work of
a fanatical Weylerits, who had two purposes
in yiew-6rst, to strike blow at the Emitted
States; second, to embarrass General Blanco. /"

been for long time, filed with submarine
