CAPTAIN CARRIERS CASE.

Ex-senator ingalls, brings a very serious
charge against President Mckinley and
the Department of Justice. In an article
in the New York Journal, discussing the
case of Capt o. NJ. Carter, of the corps
of engineers, he asserts that the delay in
CARRYING out the sentence of the court
martial is in the interest Of the ''contrac-
tors who were Carriers partners in crime.
In time, Mr.. ingalls, declares, the statute
of limitations will protect the contractors
from an action of the government 'to
compel restitution of their plumber
Ordinarily there is no delay in acting up
Washington recently two officers of the
army, General Eagan and Lieutenant
Long, were tried a.ld convicted, and the
President took formal action in less than
IA month after the courts had returned
their findings. Both of these officers
were convicted of conduct unbecoming
an officer and gentleman Another
officer, who duplicated his accounts, was
promptly cashiered. What the President
will do in the case of Captain Carter no
one knows He was convicted by court
martial nearly eighteen months ago of
embezzling more than million dollars Of
government money, and sentenced to dis
missal from the army, to pay a fine of
$4,000, and to be imprisoned in the peni-
Tertiary. Powerful influences have been
exerted to prevent the carrying out of
the sentence. The papers in the case
have been alternately in the hands of the
Secretary of War, the Department of
Justice, President Mckinley, and private
counsel. and still no decision is il sight.
Under the circumstances, Mr.. ingalls,
thinks the words of mad King Lear are
applicable to this celebrated case: Plate
sin with gold" said King Lear, "and the
strong lance of justice hurtless breaks.
Arm it in rags, a pigmy's straw doth
break it, The sentence of the court
martial in Captain Carriers case may have
been severer than the law or the evidence
warranted, but in any case, it should not
have taken the Administration eighteen
months to announce its deciSion.-U ASH

EGLEI1 OF THE, ROADS.

The grand jury of Talbot county, in its
recent report to the public highways of
that county in the following language:
In regard to the roads, reports from
all parts of the county reveal the fact, that
while they are at present in a a fair con-
ditions, during the earl y part of the spring
they were worse than ever known, with
in the memory of those now living. In
some instances the travelling public have
been compelled to abandon the highways
and take to the woods or the fields, or to
boats on the creeks and rivers in order to
reach the points where business called
them, the roads being virtually impossible
Whether this condition of things. how
ever, is the result of negligence or incom
potency on the part of the supervisors, or
of peculiar views upon the question of
economy on the part of County Com
missioners, we have not been able to de-
termine'
Such frank and direct rebuke to the
present road system, coming from such
a source, entities it to special considera-
ton because of its apt application to other
parts of the state Without discussing the
abstract virtues of good roads this report
condemns a condition which makes neces-
sary the abandonment of the natural high
ways on account Of the impossible state
into which they are permitted to sink.
The causes for this condition are obvious.
The trouble is attributable to ineXcusable
able neglect. The neglect is the out
growth of a system under which proper
attention is not given to the roads at a
scasonable time. Nor is due care taken
to preserve the solidity of the bed by
scientific drainage.
In number of the counties the roads
are divided into hundreds of little
stretches which are awarded to various
supervisors for attention more for politi-
cal reasons than for their skill as road
builders. No one man is awarded sutfi-
cient work or is guaranteed such tenure
of contract as will justify him in supply
himself with needed mechanical appli-
ances. AS a consequence supervisors are
forced to work their :.llotments with
ordinary farming implements. At the
same time they are allowed to proceed on
the theory of doing the least possible
work for such an amount of money as
they expect to receive. AS consequence
during good weather so long as the road
is passable, no attention is paid to it..
That results in making it a veritable dan
gerhole when bad weather falls upon it..
Nor can the evil be remedied while bad
weather continues, and that is why so
many roads arc in wretched condition in
winter They are neglected during the
period when they should be improved and
reduced to solidity, hence the horrible
state into which they develop when the
storms of winter come -Bdhimore Ame'i-

| instruct him to force fighting until some
sort of a solution of the problem is cvolv-
ed.
AS have said repeatedly in my public
uttcrances, all this trouble could have
been averted if the peace treaty had been
amended. We could have sent our Peace
commissioners back t" meet the Spanish
ENJOYS, with instructions to release the
whole of the Philippine Islands. save Ma
Mia and sufficient territory contiguous
thereto, for !, naval and caaliny station.
III this ha:. been done We would not
to-day see this bogus white elephant
There would be no war in the Philippines
! There would have been little loss of hu-
man blood and but small expenditure of
public money.
"Do you think the administrations i'm
perialist;c policy will be dominant issue
in the coming campaign?'
| Yes, | believe so-that is to say, to a
greater or lesser extent. At this moment
no one can fortell with accuracy the

FRANK THOMSON DIES SUD.
DENLY.

Frank Thomson, president of the Penn.
sylvania Railroad Company, died ut 30
O'Clock Monday evening ut his home at
Merton, Il few miles out of Philade pha.
Mr. Thomson had been i'll about two weeks
He returned to his home on May Goth from
a tour of inspection, which he, with other
officials of the company, had made over
the main and leased lines of the Pcnnsvl-
vana Railroad system. The trip had oc-
cupied about week. Upon his return
home he was suffering from acute indigcs-
ton, and at once took to his bed and placed
himself in the hands of his physician.
Mr.. Thomson had enjoyed extraordinary
good health, and his relatives and friends
believed he would soon rally and recover
from his indispostion. His death was
rather sudden, and wholly uneXp, cted.
He was fifty I'll ght years of age.

Mr.. Wellington is not consistent.
He says now if Gov. Lowndes should
be renominatcd the independent ele-
ments of both parties will rally around
him, thus acknowledging that this vote
is needed for the success of his party.
But before the election in Baltimore,
he spoke contemptuously of the indie
pendents and said Republicans did not
want their votes. How circumstances
alter cases with some people.

A FLING AT THE FARMERS

The Railway Review undertakes to
poke fun at the honest farmer by say
ing he advances the price of his farm if
he can, without adding anything him.
self to its value. and consequently is
not in 4 position to complain OF corpor-
ations that do the same-in other
words, the farmer cannot consistently
raise the cry of"watered stocks" The
o d-fashionCd idea was that actual value
is represented by the original cost and
that properties should not be capital.
lied above such value. This, the Re-
view holds, is IAN exploded theory. .
Even those who assert this, it says, do
not uphold it when for any reason the
market price has fallen-whcn the lot
tom has dropped out of corporate en-
terprIsc. The theory is only good, the
Review argues, in effect, when it is ser
viccable for ignoring the enhancement
OF original cost that occurs sometimes
when business is successful and is
conducted in growing community.
Everything, in word, is ian exploded
theory" that conflicts with the theories
of the stock diluter.
The curious phase of the propos;
ticn, says the Review, sis that the
farmer, who is loudest of all classes in
his denunciation of over-capitalization
proceeds upon the same theory of val
uation. Every change in conditions
that renders his products more Access
slble to market, and consequently more
valuable at home, is accepted as suffi-
Gent warrant for enhancing the value
OF his lands. In other words. as the
earning power of his land increases
his price, which is simply capital stock
ln-another form, is correspondinoly adj
vanced." The farmer, the Review
thinks, is as prompt as any one else to
appropriate the ''unearncd increment
and swells the selling price of his farm
as much above what his grandfather
gave for it as he can. That is all RIGHT.
But it is also right, in the Review 5
opInlen, for any corporation, or other
owner OF property, on selling out, or
recognizing, to capitalize, if it can,
above original cost, because a thing is
worth, to the seller, what any fool will
give fer it.
But it should he noted that the
farmer docs not advance the value OF
his farm on a purely speculative Lasis,
unl'ss perchance, he gets drawn into
"Eoom" 10y which he may help a
parcel Of land sharpers to feather their
nests at the expense of green inves-
tors. The farmer cannot force any
one to buy his land at any price, hig b
or low, but he is entitled to have his
property appreciated at any price its
marketing facilities and productive
ness may justly entitle it to. He can
not even then sell it for more than it is
worth, except in very rare cases; on
the contrary; when he has to sell it it
is usually at a figure much below the
true value Of the land. The Review
is decidedly more sarcastic than sim
cerc, we think, when it undertakes to
draw any parallel between the farmer
and the stock-watering concerns that
have done so much to demoralize trade
and finance.-Balimore Sun.
