STATE BRINGS SUIT.
Acknowledgement Will File
Bill in Equity Against the
B. & o., to Compel Payment
of Dividends on the Wash.
ington Branch.

A dispatch to the Sun from
Atlantic City on Tuesday last,
says:
The State of Maryland, through
Attorney General Rayner, will in
short time file a bill III equity
against the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad Company asking for an
injunction and an account, with
other special relief, the object
being to compel the company to
pay to the State dividends on the
stock of the Washington Branch
held by the State.
Attorney General Rayner, who
is at Atlantic City, was seen to.
day in reference to the matter
and said that he was at work pre-
pairing the bill. The case, he
says. involves fully $4,000, 900 to
the State.
In speaking of the proposed
suit MI. Rayner SAID: ~ am act
ing under the direction of a Joint
resolution passed by the lsat Leg
islature, and the suit will be
brought within the next few
weeks. This stock is one of the
most valuable assets of the State.
There is a fund of nearly a mil
lion of dollars to the credit of the
Washington Branch of the Bal
tlmOre and Ohio Railroad, and
besides this the road has stopped
paying dividends entirely on the
Washington Branch stock and
has made no offer to resume them.
l was directed by the General
Assembly to proceed in the
courts, and the State must take
action in the matter. This road
not only earned 10 per cent, divi-
dends, but had laid away a large
surplus which amounted to over
$500, 600 when tue receivers were
appointed"

THE GREATEST QUEEN IN

Marie Corelli's Tribute to the
Work and Character of
Queen Victoria.

Qneen VictCiIa was born May

butte from her favorite novelist,
Marie Corelli, in this weeks Sat

woman alone he is compelled to
bend the knee! Off goes his hat
at the sight of the Queen! cheers
break forth from his throat at the

in their estate by the land over
which they rule-as, for example,
Queen OF Italy, Queen of Greece,
Empress of Germany, Empress of
Russia; but when the Queen is
said every one means EnglaDd's
Victoria. Of all Queens the
greatest, she is of all women the
simplest. and herein gives match

the splendors of position and en-
thronement, she is pre-eminently

wOmanly sense of the word-One

is, or should be, inherent in every

strong, personal potency for good.

Using the War to Help McKinley's
Election.

1t is hard to tell what the admins
tration is doing with the war in the
Philippines One day it is at an end
and the next it turns up as lively as
the ghost of Banquo. The Republican
National Convention is only about a
month off, aud Mr.. Mckinley is seek
ing reelection. If there is any re-
lance to be placed in the official re-
ports from those far away islands about
the pacification of its hostile inhabi-
tahts, there is certainly something
wrong when we see contradictory
accounts emanating from the fountain
head, and it is not unjust TO think
there is ''somethingn back of it all.
Mckinley is charged openly with de-
sire to keep the war in operation until
after election day. Think ofthe mean
ing of this! Keeping thousands of our
young men in those tropical regions ex-
posed to every danger If disease and
battle, fighting scattered bands of
elusive guerillas, and having ON your
conscience every death that comes as a
natural sequence! There are 10000
soldiers in the Philippines trying to
ann;hilate almost one-tenth IF their
number. Isn't it ridiculous for a La
ton like ours to engage in such petty,
one-sided conflict? But benevolent
assimilation" and "shot-gun gospel"
must be carried on the bayonet point,
and the sacred realms Of trade must be
stretched across the ocean to allow Me-
Kinley's Patent Providential Protection
Association to get in its fine work, even
at the trifiing expense of several hun
dred million in money and the lives of
many brave Americans.
The purchase of the Philippines in
the first place was the height of ex-
travigant imbecility and the succeeding
acts of the McKinley-Hanna syndicate
are enough to make the long suffering
people of this country rise up in indig-
nation and hurl these selfconstituted
despots from the pinnacle of their al
most sovereign power. They will do
this in November next and thus rescue
the nation from the hands ofits present
desp0ilers.

Story of a Slave.

To be found hand and foot for years

that she could not turn over in bed
alone. After using two bottles of

How the Democratic Party Can
Garry New York.

The New York World, in an ar.
ticle which declares that the
Democrats are in a strong posi-
tion in New York because of the
public disappointment in Gov
ernor Roosevelt, concludes that
the party can carry the State if it
is not handicapped by 16 to l
platform and has a good candi-
date for Governor. The World
says:
"With a modified, moderate,
ing,national platform the Dem
ocrats would have every incen-
tive and an excellent fighting
chance to carry the State for both
the electoral and State tickets.
The foolish leaders that talk of
winning without New York, need
a short course in political history.

York is pendulum State, swing.

Public School Boards.

Governor Smith has completed
the reorganization of the public
school educational system of the
State, promised in the platform
upon which he was elected and
proclaimed upon the stump dur
ing the campaign. He has an
nounced tine appointment of Mar
tin Bates Stephens, of Caroline
County, as Superintendent of
Public Education for the State of
Maryland.
The reorganization of the State
system does not affect the public
school system OF Baltimore City,
which is separate and indepen-
dent. But it places at the head
of the administration of the
schools for all the counties all ex-
ecutive officer under the immedi-
ate guidance and control of the
State Board of Education, of
which the Governor himself is
the head.
The change does away with the
exercise of the function of superin-
tendent by the principal of the
State Normal School or division
of the duties with the conductor
of teachers institutes. In fact,
it abOlishes the Office Of Institute
Director and imposes the duties
of that position upon the Super
intendent. The pay of the In
stitute Director was 81, 800 a
year. The sum of 81, 200 was add
ded to this amount to make up
the pay of the superintendent
$4,000.
The State Superintendent of
Public Education is appointed by
the Governor for the term of four
years. The Governor is empow-
cred to remove the Superinten.
dent for misconduct or inefiicien-
cy upon submitting his reasons
in writing to the superintendent
and ratification by two thirds of
the members of the State Board
Of Educatian.
The salary of the State Super
intendent OF Educationislto be fix,
ed by the State Board, not, how
ever, to exceed So, 900 a year, in
addition to $500 a year for trav.
cling expenses. The State Su-
perintendent is allowed a clerk,
who is also to act as clerk of the
State Board, and to be paid a
reasonable salary to be fixed by
the board and to come out of the
fund allowed by the board for
contingent expenses. The office
of the State Board in the State
Norman School building in Balti-
more, shall also be the office of
the State Superintendent.
With the appointment of the
County School Boards with
proper minority representation,
there is no reason why our public
schools should not do more etfec-
tive work, under direct supervis-
ion and direction, and rebound
to the interests of those who
brought about the desired
change.
