An Open Letter.
Frederick, Md, Oct. 16, 1899.

FREDERICK, Ma, Oct. 10, lSJ9.
The public school teachers oI
Frederick county have recently
received IA circular letter signed
by Zone Interested in the Public
Schools" but which emanated
from and was sent out by the Re.
publican Central Committee, in
which they are solicited, individ
ually and collectively, "to vote
and work for the Republican
party" on the assurance that if
that party wins in the approach
ing election in the county aud
State, their salaries "1COuld be
raised"
This is, manifeStly, a bid for
the teacher vote and influence.
1t was to he hoped that the pub.
lie schools would be kept out of
politics, and not only Democrats,
but some persons high in the
counsels of the Republican party,
have so expressed themselves.
Yet here, at once, is disclosed a
scheme to make the public school
teachers of Frederick county. ir.
respective of their previous p0lit-
ical affiliations, male and female,
part and parcel of the Republi-
can party. And that, too, for Il
consideration. An attempt is
made to bribe the self respecting
teachers of this county. For vot-
ing and working for the Republi,
can party it is promised, in case
of success, that the salaries of
the teachers shall he raised.
What is that but a bribe! and
one, too, that is promised to be
paid with public funds! If the
Republican party is SO anxious to
raise the salaries of the teachers,
why has it not done so during the
past two years when it has been
In full control sin county and
Statem During Democratic con-
troll tue salaries of teachers were
raised, yet they were allowed to
vote as they pleased. An eXami-
nation of the school reports for
the past ten years will show that
the teachers received larger sal
aries when the State and county
were under Democratic than they
do now, under Republican con
troll. .......
During the year ended July 81,
1891, when the Democrats were
i'll power, the average salary paid
white teachers was 500 and the
average salary paid colored
teachers was S219. During the
year ended July 81, 1898, under
Republican rule, the average sal
ary paid white teachers was but
S25S, and colored teachers but
S162. Compare the two, yet the
Democratic party never sought tC
influence the teacher vote, and
does not now, but it is only right
that the stealthy scheme of the
Republicans to bribe the teachers
to vote and to work for them
should be exposed. Let teachers
vote their sentiments and permit
no specious promises, by any po
litical party, to influence them il
the full exercise of their rights a,
American citizens Let MS keel
the public schools out of politics
as was done during all the years
that the Democratic party was III
control in this State.

The correspondent who report
ed the speech of Mr.. Ritter to the

Poetry and Psalms y for a variety
partly told the truth. We are
glad to print what he did say,
namely:
My friends, those of you that
read your Bibles-and l am sure
you all do So-will remember that
under the Mosaic dispensation
every tiftieth year was proclaimed
a year of Jubilee, and every man
returned to his own, that is his
property was restored to him.
sin this connection the bright
promise of victory for the Demo-
Gratis in this State and county
this fall has reminded me OF this
year of Jubilee. But with this
marked difference that kind Prov :
idence has only decreed that we
should be kept out of our own for
only four years, for | tell you, my
friends, this is ouryear of Jubilee.
And [ am happily reminded. of
that good old Methodist hymn
that reads:
The year of Jubilee has come,
Return ye conquering Democrats
to your own;
