Rnmor is again busy with Secretary
Ayers successor, says the Baltimore
"American'' Gen Horace Porter. the
ambassador to France, is said to he the
latest choice OF the President. By his
guarded expressions when interviewed.
General Porter gives plausibility to
the report. General Porter is dipo-
mat, and may not consider it wise TO
shock public sentiment in this country
by either admission or denial. Sutl,l,n
and overwhelming JOY is sometimes rs
disastrous as deep disappointment
As 10 the people. however, it may be
said that they can stand it, even if it is
bad news. They have been standing
it for quite while, and they have
reached the point where they are more
concerned about the country than
about their own feelings
The administration of the War De-
partment is the one conspicuous blot
on an otherwise praiseworthy admins
tration. The appointment Of Alger
was q capital blunder. A man with
such military record should not have
been put in supreme control ofthe army
in time ofwar His record alone would
have made him unpopular, if he had
never committed an error: but he very
soon developed an alarming incapacity
for his duties, and, by reason of his
colossal confidence in himself, he is not
whit more useful today.
1t may be that the recent revelations
before the Beef Court have shown the
President the danger OF retaining the
Secretary in his Cabinet, and that he
has at last determined to toss this IN
paralleled Jonah to the fishes: but it is
scarcely probable The President
seems to share the weakness of many
great men of standing by his friends
through good and through evil report
1t is an amiable weakness, and produc-
tive, on the whole, of more good than
harm; but in this particular instance
it has been productive of evil only.
Nine-tenths of the American people
Will hope that Alger may soon end his
official connection with the government.
1t is neither a factional mol a party
sentiment; it is the sincere and DELHI
crate desire of the American people.

Ii every one who may chance to be
elected or appointed to public office
could and would realize the truth Of
the above expression, the rule of the
people would at all times and every
where be so much better 1t seems to
be hard in many cases for public Off
cials to handle public funds with the
same care and economy they exercise
in managing their own interests.
Money wrung from oppressed taN-pay-
ers is generally expended with Il de-
gree of recklessncss that is appalling
As an instance of this we may take the
immense sums which arc annually
spent in the counties OF Southern Mary
land on the public roads. With little
or no regard to the permancncy of the
improvements, without any settled
methods of construction or repair,
without engineering skill or experience.
our fOaQS nave Dccn worked wear altcr
year, and consequently most Of them
are very little better than they were
when first opened. If the policy Of
using gravel literally had been pur-
sued, and if the money, appropriated
for public roads in this county for the
past twenty-five years, had been pru-
IDENTIFY and iudiciously expended, we
would have to-day excellent roads
everywhere.
Those who are clothed with the
double power of levying taxes and eN-
pending the public money, as in the
case of the County Commissioners.
have imposed upon them public trust
Of the highest order. Taxes are levied
for the good of the people. The con-
stitutional right to do so is based upon
the theory that the levies will be APP
propriated for proper and useful pur-
poses and expended in permanent and
substantial improvements.

NJ ARYLAND'S
MINERAL WEALTH..

Figures presented in the report of the
Maryland Geological Survey show that
the annual output of minerals and ether
material from the rocks of this state is
valued at over six millions of dollars, and
that over eight thousand men are employ
ed in the different branches of this in
dustry. Coal the most of which comes
from the Georges Creek region, and the
output of which is apt to vary according
to the demand, leads in the list, while the
products of the rich clay soil of the state
come second. Next in order in value are
lime and cement products, followed by
the gneiss and granite rocks, and hV other
building stones from the Maryland quar-
ries.
This mineral wealth is well distributed,
and every county of thc state has its share
in the liberal supply. In some sections
the value of these deposits is well ap
preciated, and the mines, Iuarrics and
soils have been worked for gears with
very profitable results. There is room.
however, for q far greater development,
and the work done by the Geological Sur
vey cannot fail to contribute to this end.
Marvland's mineral wealth will always
prove a valuable factor in the material
and industrial prosperity of the state.
