TURNPIKE DECISION in q recent appeal
case in the circuit court for Frederick Coun-
ty, wherein the right Of turnpike companies
to collect toll from funerals came up on ap.
peal from decision of Justice White, the
court decided that Baltimore Turnpike Com
pany having been chartered prior to the Act
of 1857, wherein funerals were exempted
from the payment of turnpike toll, had the
right to collect such toll. By this decision
we understand that all companies that were
in existence prior to 1867 may collect toll of
funeral parties, while those chartered after
that date are prohibited thsretrom.
The policy of the Frederick and Emmits.
burg Turnpike Company will not be changed:
While under this decision, it having been
chartered in 1874 would be authorized to col.
lcct toll from parties both going to and re.
tuning from funerals, its rule has been to
collect toll upon returning from funeral for
one way only and tLis policy will not he
changed.
Frederick City has gone about the matter
of securing payment of the $4,000 enforced
loan to the Confederate army in 1864, in Il
manner that gives promise of success. The
National government is now spending some.
thing like six hundred millions annually; it
paid Spain $1,000 900 for the expensive lux
ury of a war in the Philippines and paid sew.
eral millions to Cuban insurgents to have
them quit the business of war and turn their
attention to peaceful pursuits and it seems to
us that so comparatively small sum as
5000, ,0J0 should be paid without dcmur, when
that money simply bought the protection
that the National government failed to give
to one of the most loyal towns in the loyal
State of Maryland. With this legitimate
claim unpaid, the hberality of our govern
ment toward foreign peoples is to say the
least. in bad taste; it reminds one OF the man
who, to cut dash away from home, gives
big suppers to his friends, while he feeds his
family on "flitch" 1t looks well to all ex-
cept those who know him best. In common
fairness, Frederick should be paid every dol
lar of this money, with interest thereon.
RURAL FREE DELIVERY "A revelation
in rural mails will be inaugurated on Dec
ember 20 in Carroll. Three more Postofiices
on Wheels will be started from Westminster
and twenty six letter carriers will receive
mail from them at various points, exchange
mail matter and deliver mail matter to the
wagons. The mail wagons will cover about
10S miles daily, except Sunday, and wagons
and carriers together will cover 575 of the
800 miles of county roads. BY the new sys.
TEN of delivering and collecting mails over
5000 families will be served daily.
The system nccesstates abolishing 63 post

routes will be abolished also. The compen'
sation of the postmasters at the offices to be
is IS 200 per year, and star route
contractors received IS 100. The new sys-
TEN will cost $l4 500 year, but more post
offices are to be abolished and the PostofIlce
Department believes the tree delivery in a
short time will cost no more than the old
system, while the people will be benefited
by the daily service. The only office Of con-
siderable Importance Is at Manchester. That
town will have tree delivery of mail at9:l5
