Elkton defeated North East at
Elkton on Saturday last by Z to 5.


Governor Lowndes in his address
to the teachers assembled at Ocean
City last week said:
81 would like to see in the future
a requirement that persons who
aspire to teach in this State be
graduates of some normal school,
college or university, but | would
not for an instant think of inter
fering with the efficient corps of
teachers that are now on the rolls.
| think, too, that a rigid and salts
flying examination should be re
quired of applicants for positions
as teachers, but that once passed,
an annoying and useless system of
annual OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES be done
away with"
This is a hint that those aspiring
to the "profession" of teachers in
the near future will be required to
pass through our high school, the
Tome Institute or some other insti-
tuition of higher grade than the
common school. The "annoying"
practice of annual teachers exam
ination was also point well taken
by the Governor. He also favored
higher salaries for teachers, which
is in harmony with "prosperity,"
which the Governors party believe
is descending like the dews of
heaven upon rich and poor.
A rise in the salary of the man
between the pillow handles will have
to he made before he is able to in
crease the salaries of teachers and
other county officers. The taxes
out of which all salaries are paid
have to be provided directly or in
directly by the man at the pillow,
and until he is provided for others
should wait.
There is no prospect whatever,
under present monetary conditions
for it is money that salaries are
made of-that the farmers salary
will ever increase, but the reverse
if any change is made. The sal
aries of teachers, though probably
quite below what they should be,
are higher than the income of the
average farmer, or of the wages
paid by the corporations to their
employees for a like amount of
service or labor.

Pennington being given a first class
coat of whitewash, mainly through
the effectivepitching of Scott Steele
who held them down to six safe
hits and had fifteen strike outs to
his credit.
Appleton took kindly to Sellers
curves, lining out seven hits in the
first inning for an equal number of
runs. Riale succeeded Sellers in
the fifth inning and put an end to
the batting picnic. Farmington's
work in the field was ragged while
Appleton had little chance to show
their form, the battery doing most

In the congress which will assemble
next winter the opposition to independ-
ent silver coinage will have . majority
and little action favorable to silver can bs
looked for. But upon the policy adopted
by the majority villdepsnd the question
how far the silver issue will play part
in the congressional elections OF 1900.
In this connection the report IL i'm
portant that the caucus committee ap-
pointed by the republican members OF
the late congress to CONSIDER the finan-
cial question will recommend that the
gold standard be established by law.
Action of that kind may precipitate a
contest Oh the silver question for con-
troll of congressin the 1900 elections. 1t
will have bearing on the presidential
election, for it is impraotloable to con-
duct in the same year contest for the
presidency on issues distinct from those
dominant in the congressional contest.
1t may be, however, that majority Of
The republicans will not adopt the recon-
mendstions Of the caucus committee.
There are many republican members who
may refuse 10 60 to the length Of form
ally establishing the gold standard. They
cling to the idea that IS long as gold
monometalism is not formally endorsed,
the country retains tho principle Of bi.
mstallism, although practically the gold
standard may be in existence. Membsn
sf this kind may refuse to veto for bill
formally making the gold standard the
law Of the land, while they msy also rs-
fuse to vote for enc rsopenipg the mints
to silver coinage.
IT il, therefore, easy to forssee . con.
test amsng the republican members Of
congress over the question Of adopting
the Recommendations which it is said
the caucus committee will make. In
view Of this probability 1t is at least
doubtful II congress will next winter take
definite action OF my kind ON the tinan.
