SALE or G. AND o, CANAL.
question Presented to Maryland
Board Of Public works.

Thursday next the Maryland board Of
public works, which 10 composed of Gov
ernor Lloyd Lowndes, Phillips Lee Colds
borough, controller. and Thomas g. snry-
ock, state treasurer will meet at Annapolis,
and It is expected to further consider the
question OF disposing of the states stock In
the Chesapeake and Ohio canal, and, per-
haps. Of the sale OF the preferred stock
owned by the state in the Washington
branch Of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad.
Some time ago the canal was offered for
sale. and the only bid received was one
from Vice President Charles K. Lord of the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad. This bid was
a low one, and was not accepted by the
board of public works. The proposition to
sell the states stock, when first preached,
led to an animated discussion, the people
In western Maryland residing along the
canal strongly opposing the requirement of
the waterway by individuals or a corpora
ton. 1t was argued by the board that the
state had sunk money enough in the canal;
that its days of usefulness as q coal car
rier from the mines of Alegany and Gar
rett counties to Georgetown were over, and
that Its sale would be in line with the
policy of the present state administrator
to dispose of all holdings in internal i'm
provements.
The canal has played for many years a
conspicuous part in Maryland politics, and
it was the alleged political corruption con-
nected with it that led to the rise of the
anti-Gorman element in western Maryland
and eventually overthrow the dominant
democracy. A peculiar feature of the re-
cent discussion over the sale of the canal
was the unanimity with which the German
people, who formerly held lucrative sine
cures in connection with canal administra-
ton, assented to the selling proposition,
Wnlle the foremost independent democrats
or Allegany, Washington Frederick and
montgomery counties claimed that the
states interest should be retained
AS matter Of fact. it is said, the only
corporation in a position to nurchase the
canal Is the Baltimore and Ohio railroad,
the president of which, John Kfssig Cowen
is one OF Its receivers. The canal has been
IN receivers hands for some years and the
receivership will not terminate for a period
OF years TO come. The fact has been COM
mented upon Lat the state in Offering to
sell the canal could not deliver the goods
upon purchase

History Repeats Itself.
or Of The Evening Star:

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
Now that the good people of Montpelier
desire to erect a monument to the memory
of Admiral Dewey's mother, 1t is not out of
place to recite the answer of Napoleon I to
a deputation of citizens that now happens
to bear the same name-Montpelier In
France-who wished Napoleon's consent for
the erection of monument to the memory
of the emperor's father-Charfes Bonaparte.
Napoleon's answer was as manly as 1t was
wise. He said: Had my father died yes
terday, 1t would be proper If. in consider
alton Of my rank, some special attention
and respect should accompany our grief
but he died twenty years ago; his life and
his death were events Of no public interest.
My grandfather also died; so did my great
grandfather; why not erect monuments for
them? This would lead too far; let us rest
the dead in peace" FRANK MILLER
