A FRIEND.
Obituary,

Died, at the residence of her father
near st. Anne's church, Garrett coun-
ty, Md, Wednesday, February 8, 1899,
Miss Rose Dorsey, aged "A years. The
deceased young lady was daughter
of Mr.. Patrick Dorsey, a prominent
resident of the above place. She had
been in delicate health for a long
time, which affection she bore with
Christian resignation, and maintained
her cheerful and lovable disposition
until the last. During her long sick
ness she received every care and at
tention that the loving kindness of
her father and her brothers and sisters
could bestow upon the dear one that
was taken from them by the dis
pensation of higher power, that does
all things for the best. The deceased
was a graduate of st. Catharine's
Normal, Baltimore, and was q must
clan of rare ability. She was univer-
sally beloved and respected for her
kind and gentle disposition.
The funeral obsequires were solem-
nized on Saturday, at st. Michael's
church, and the remains inferred in
st. Michael's cemetary, being follow
ed to their last resting place by large
concourse of friends and acqQaint-
ances, who thus paid their last sad to-
ken of respect to her memory.
The following gentlemen were the
pail bearers: Algernon Shaw, Uriah
Stanton, Llewellyn Blocher, Oscar
Robinson, Chas. Wegman and Urban

no complaint was made by the demo-
cratic press. But now when the
republican party, charged with the
responsibility of administering the
affairs of State, seeks to follow the
way, blazed with democratic prece-
dent with reference to offices in con-
nection with the school system, this
same democratic press, with its robes
bedraggled with the political mire
OF thirty years accumulation, cries
out you are putting the schools in
politics." just as though they had not
been in politics before. Governor
Lowndes made no pledges to continue
democrats in possession of the schools
and the platform upon which he was
elected contained no such promise
Every promise contained in the re-
publican platform of 1885 has been re-
deemed and we challenge the NeaCS
or any other democratic journal, to
point to one promise that has not
been carried out. The republican
party has kept faith with the people
and the finances of the State were
never in better condition than they
are to-day.-Worchester Advocate.

REMITTANCES;
THURSDAY. FEBRUARY %, 1899.
INFORMANT NOTICE.

In view of the fact that the county
is getting its publishing done at
greatly reduced rates, The REPUBLI-
CAN thinks that the individual is as
much entitled to the benefit of a cut
rate as the county treasury, if not
more so, for the reason that he or his
property must stand the whole eX-
pense for publishing, whereas that
for the county is borne by the many
and is, consequently, not nearly SO
burdensome, Individually, being a
mere bagateUe compared with the
other.
We have, therefore, decided to re-
duce our advertising rates one-half-
so cents per square for the first inser-
ton and IS cents per square for each
additional insertion-on the follow
ing class of legal advertising: Mort
gagee's Sales, Trustees Sales, Admin
istrators' and Executors Notices and
all other legal publications for which
the poor man, widow or orphan are
bound to pay.
Let all interested parties bear these
rates in mind and insist that those
representing them, or who have the
power to sell their property, shall
take advantage of these reduced rates
in advertising property for sale or in
sorting other legal notices.

IT MUST be gratifying to every
Marylander to know that General
Otis, who lea the American forces to
a signal victory against the Filipinos,
at Manila, is native Of this State,
having been born in Frederick City,
Frederick City is also the birthplace
of Admiral Schley, who won his lau-
rels at the naval battle at Santiago

Same Old Tory Cry.

When American patriotism won the
war of the Revolution the Clevelands
of the day, then known as Tories,
predicted only a mad rush toward
disaster" as the inevitable conse-
quence. When Jefferson acquired
the Louisiana territory. they were as
dOwncast as is the Princeton recluse
now. They say only disaster in the
annexation of Texas. The Mexican
war and the addition of territory
brought by it filled them with gloom
like his. They prophesied that as a
consequence of the war for the Union
grass would grow in the streets of
New York. They declared that war
to be disastrous failure seven
months before it was brought to an
end in complete victory. They con-
tended that the resumption of specie
payments was impossible. They pre-
dicted infinite disaster along our sea-
coast as an inevitable consequence of
a war with Spain.
From the beginning of this republic
its speedy downfall has been predicted
by the Clevelands; but it endures and
its rush now is only toward greater
power and greater solidity. Why
don't these hopeless Tories sell out
and leave a country which their
mouthpieces sayis in straits so des-
perate.

BY PUBLICATION in this issue of
THE REPUBLICAN notice is given the
voters of Oakland that on Monday,
March 18th, they will be called upon
to elect for term of two years three
persons to act in the capacity of Town
Councilmen
In years past the municipal fights
in Oakland have been made upon the
lines of improvement and anti-im-
provement which has in a small way
resulted in the improvement of one
or two streets but generally the con-
dition OF things remain as they were
years ago.
At the approaching election it is
devoutly hoped by all progressive cit
liens that men of liberal views and
good business judgment will be selec-
ted to fill the positions made vacant
by the retiring members of the Coun-
Gil.

WHO DID 1T 3?

During the past week this paper
has been in receipt of number Of
communications addressed personally
to the editor asking if we can throw
any light upon a question which has
become the talk all over the county,
viz: Who placed the placard warn
ing republicans away from the Com
missioners office on the door of the
Boards room at the court house?
From the tone of the letters address,
ed to us it seems to be the general
opinion that we personally directed
the preparation of the placard and
had it placed where it was found by
the clerk of the Board of Commission
ers. To this imputed charge we state
positively that we are innocent. The
placard was not printed in the office
of THE REPUBLICAN, neither was any
of the material used in its prepara-
tion a portion of THE REPUBLICANS
outfit. We are pretty well satisfied,
however, that it was prepared in a
newspaper office in Oakland which
has the the unenviable reputation of
having secured the contract for doing
the county's printing at cut-throat
prices, thus keeping those engaged in
legitimate business from making even
a fair profit on their work.
We do know, however, positive
ly, emphatically and without the
shadow of doubt who hung, or
caused the placard bearing the odious
words mo Republicans Need Apply.
All Offices Reserved Exclusively for
Democrats" to be hung upon the
wall of the Commissioners Office.
That person was man who has twice
been honored at the hands of the re-
publican party with the office he now
holds-THE PRESIDENT OF THE
BOARD OF COUNTY COMMITS
SIONERS, THOMAS b. LAYMAN,
for he stated when called the atten-
ton of the editor of this paper to the
placard after it had been placed
where all could see it. He seemed to
take special pride in directing our at
tention to his master stroke of try
ing to disrupt the party which has
been true and loyal to him. He even
treasures the shameful bit of paper
so highly that he now has it in his
possession and we may expect that at
the next session of the Board of Com
missioners to see the placard in a gold
mounted frame looking down from its
position upon the heads of the men
who were elected as republicans but
who have turned upon their truest
friends and are busily engaged in tear
ing to pieces what it has taken life
time to build up-the republican ma
jority in Garrett county.
Shame upon you Resign your
positions and give true, loyal party

chief executive of this State G'vernor
Lowndes has proven himseT to be
the man for the people, He has
given to the state an honest clean,
economical administration. Els work
has been aimed directly for ne bet
terment of the financial condition of
the state, and his aim has cen so
true and unerring that he ha3struck
the bull's-eye of the people, conf
dence with such force that it will be
impossible for the democratic party
to nominate a candidate to defeat
him. Every appointment ofais has
been for the best interests of the
state, and not for the puIpose OF
building up a political fort il which
to entrench himself.
No doubt that there were sme APP
pointments made by Gov. Iowndes
that did not meet with the s'proba-
ton of all classes, but tain as a
whole his appointments haze been
such as to please large majority OF
the citizens of the State.

IN the Hagerstown Circuit Court
on Monday with Judge Stake on the
bench question of costs in the lower
court was brought to the attention of
the Judge, who said, to his mind, the
statute requiring costs to be paid be
low, before an appeal can he heard,
is unconstitutional, for the constitu-
ton says justice shall be speedy, free
and is not to be bought. 4 man is
guaranteed "a jury trial, and he can
not be compelled to pay for it.
This is an important decision says
the Hagerstown MuH land differs
from the opinion held by Court of
Appeals and other Judges Of he State.
Heretofore cases coming up from
magistrates were promptly slain if
they got on the docket with costs I'M
paid below Now the loser before a

and let the final loser pay all. 1t
