FIVE MORE REGIMENT

The New York Uerald Tuesday pub
lished the following dispatch from Wash
ington:
"Orders are expected to issue within the
next few days directing the organization
of five new volunteer regiments for the
Philippines. Should it be apparent, when
these commands have been recruited, that
the sc 800 men then to be at General Otis
disposition are not sufficient to control the
situation, the recruiting will continue until
the 81 900 volunteers auth rized by Con-
gress have been enlisted. Secretary Root
is determined that the fall campaign shall
end the war, and that General Otis may
have no excuse for failure to bring it to a
close
The object of the organization of five
more regiments is to have force prepared
to send to Manila Immediately after the 10
volunteer regiments already enlisted,
should additional reinforcements be neces-
sary. The fact that the Secretary is con-
sidering the question of the officers to be
assigned to command these regiments in
dicates the progress that has been made in
the consideration of the matter
"The Secretary is extremely anxious to
get good men to officer the proposed regi-
ments, but be appreciates, in view of the
pressure of business at the Department,
that it will be impossible for him to exam
ire each individual record and select those
who seem specially meritorious. He has,
therefore, decided to place the response
bLity upon the Governors of States, and a
telegram was sent to each of these officials
too day requesting them to nominate two
men from the volunteer organizations of
their States who served in the Spanish war,
of high merit and efficiency. The Cover
nors are informed that the Department
desires these names, in view of the pros
pect of additional volunteer regiments
being organized. Under the Secretary's
message, therefore, Governor Lowndes has
been called upon to name two officers OF
the Maryland volunteers for appointment
in the new regiments"

\ NEEDED REFORM,

We trust that both political parties
in this county will nominate good and
capable men for the Legislature this
year. The next session of the General
Assembly will be an important one to
the State at large, and it can be
an important enc to this county also
If the proper effort is made to procure
the legislation that is needed in certain
matters of local concern.
We do not propose in this article to
cnumerate these several matters which,
in our humble opinion, need attention,
but we would, in spirit of public in
tcrest, like to emphasize the fact, that
the system of working the public roads
and expanding the public road fund re-
quircs radical change before any sat
isiactory results can lie expected.
a general State law, after the man.
nef of the school law, would be better
than any local law, but, until such
step is taken, local law should be
enacted that will ensure more substan-
tis,l returns to taxpayers for the OPP
rrcssive burdens placed upon them
annually in the form Of levies for roads
and bridges. and to supply dcfcicncies
i'll these funds for the years immedi-
ately preceding.
Every land owner in the county
should study this question. 1t is one
that directly and vitality concerns him.
When he pays taxes, he has right to
demand that the money shall be pru-
IDENTIFY and economically expended.
We invite comment upon this sub
ject, and will lie pleased to publish any
communications that may tend to the
enlightenment of the people.

THE PLAGUE EUROPr.

The appearance, says the Baltimore
Sun: of the bubonic plague in Oporto
and Lisbon is disquieting, as it was
expected that it would get no nearer
Europe than Alexandria. At Alex
andria there has been about 90 cases
but the disease has been kept fairly
under control. In Portugal it will
probably be kept still more perfectly
under control, since the population
there will submit to necessary sanitary
measures better than is done in Egypt
or in India. Cleanliness is almost
proof against the plague and it seldom
attacks Europeans. Some cases ap-
pearcd in Vienna a few months ago. it
will be remembered, but they were $50
lated and had no sequel The epidemic
endurcs in India cities largely because
OF the supcrstitious and exclusive ideas
OF the Hindaos, who object to the in
spection and cleaning of their filthy
dwellings. European cities have been
transformed, from sanitary point of
view, since the plague swept them
some hundreds of years ago.

Miss Clara Barton having made the pre-
diction that the Cubans would take up
arms against the United States if the re-
concentrates were not housed and fed,
the Cuban general, Garcia, takes sharp
issue with her. General Garcia expressed
his perfect satisfaction with what the
Government has done. He said emphati-
cally there was no probability of hostili
ties; that the Cubans are not beggars, but
would like to have work. He did not be-
lieve in more almsgiving If the United
States would organize Cuban militia, he
said, and if capital went into Cuba to
build up enterprises, affairs would soon
become prosperous, and the people would
be contented

CRIME; THE SOUTH.

Dr. l.. W. W. Mannaway, leader of
the coored race in the South, who, like
Booker T. Washington, of Alabama, be-
lieves and breaches that the future of the
negro depends very largely upon his own
exeTtions toward leading vrtuous. life
and securing an industrial education, has
kept a record of the assaults on women,
lynchings, and murders reported in sew
eral of the Southern States from January,
1899, to August list. He says:
I'm the State of Georgia % negroes have
been lynched, and of this number were
charged with criminal assault, the others
with less monstrous crimes. Arkansas
has had Is lynchngs, one of them, white
man, being charged with killing another
white man, while the remaining IA were
negroes; three of them charged with as
sault, and the rest for lesser crimes, mostly
murder Texas has had IA lynchings
three were white men, one white girl,
and the other 10 negroes, four of whom
were charged with assault Louisiana has
10 y HNS VI lhSii pSi'S
Italians, charged with murder, the other
eight negroes, five Of whom were charged
with assault. Mississippi had Is lynch
ings, all negroes, five of whom were
charged with assault, one being lynched
by negro mob. Tennessee lynched eight
negroes, three of whom were charged with
assault Alabama lynched five, three of
them being charged with assault. Florida
lynched five, two by negro mobs.
"In the States above named, 10 negroes
have been killed by negroes, five of whom
were women, AZ white men have been killed
by white men, nine white men have been
killed by negroes, and II negroes have
been killed by white men. At Macon and
at Jessups, Ga, negroes were acquitted by
the courts on the charge of killing white
men, as was also one at Helena, Ark,
while in Tennessee a white man was sent
to the penitentiary for killing a negro
woman.
''From these figures, which are thought
to be correct, having been compiled from
the daily newspaper reports, it will be
seen that, independent of the lynchings,
81 negroes and 81 white men have been
killed in the seven States above named
during the first seven months of the year"

PHILIPPINE -AGRICCLTC RE

Secretary of Agricultural James Wilson,
who was in Chicago for few hours Mon
dav on his way back to Washington from
Western trip. thinks the Philippines will
supply the United States with just the
sort of tropical area needed bv this coun-
try.
Already the islam lis have figured valuab-
ly in commerce, having almost monopoly
of the hemp product and being renowned
for their peculiar tobacco. The Secre
tary thinks that the dairy wealth of the
islands may be greatly augmented, and
thinks the great extent of upland should
furnish plenty of grazing surface.
The Secretary reports great prosperity
everywhere in the West. He is impress
ed with the agricultural possibilities of
the West, not the least with those of the
regions considered semiarid and which
will require irrigation to develop them.
One of his pet schemes has been tea
culture in the United States. The depart
ment has developed the plants at Wash
ington city in great quantities and it pro-
poses to distribute in favorable localities
some $4,000, 900 shrubs. 1t is the hope of
the Secretary that some soils and climates
will be found favorable to the culture.
The Secretary inspected lands in Wash
ington and Oregon that have been over
grazed by cattle and neglected to such a
Gaproa that now they are nract iral1y n
desert. 1t is his desire to see these re-
erased. The department has two eX-
perimental spots in Washington, one at
Yakima, in which various grasses, both
foreign and domestic, are being propa-
gated.

PIGPEN NUISANCES.

Frederick city and Hagerstown. which
are usually rivals in everything else, have
at last found common ground for stand
ing together in a good cause. This is to
free themselves and their environments
from the blighting pigpen nuisance, which
has been for so long standing reproach
and menace to the healthfulness of both
these prosperous inland towns.
Two more fortunately situated places
for natural healthfulness and beauty of
surrounding scenery could not be found
in any section of this wide country. But
from the showing of the statistics of their
local sanitary boards, and the constant
agitation by the local authorities for the
suppression of grave nuisances, no towns
of their size, outside of the Island of
uba, seems to be worse off with filth which
could be dispensed with. The populations
of the towns are from 10,000to 10 900, and
census recently taken by the health officers
shows that there are within the town
limits, including suburbs, 941 hogs, 231
pigs sites, II slaughterhouses and four
tanneries. Most of the pigpens and
slaughterhouses are reported to be in very
filthy condition-so bad indeed as to war
rant immediate proceedings for their reno
walton. which it seems is all that can be
done to correct the evil under existing
law.
In Frederick city, according to the Ex-
aminer, the air in these sultry evenings is
intolerabe. 1t Is declared by the same
authority that the public health is ''endan
gered by the existence of such filthy
places as have by law been ordered to be-
moved" But the hog in Frederick, as in
Hagerstcwn, seems to be all powerful and
cannot be dislodged, though it is at the
same time encourag ing to note that pub
lie sentiment is being aroused, and that a
common and threatening danger furnishes
Il common ground of agreement at last
for both communities. -Baltmore SIM.
