The IRONY Of Politics.

New York sun: BY the irony Of fate
and the exIgsncles of personal ambi-
ton, It became the duty of the Hon.
Joseph c. s. Blackburn to pronounce
the funeral grafton at the coffin Of
William Goebel And Of GOebel sena-
tor Blackburn said:
Build here over his grave mighty
towering granite shaft that shall defy
the cOrToding touch Of time. Inscribe
upon Is an epItaph that shall be worthy
OF the man. He earned this at our
hands. In life and death he was conse-
Grated to the peoples cause. He lived
an honest life, and gave his life for your
deliverance. OF him no eulOgy but
truth may say: Earth never pillOwed
upon her bosom truer son, nor Heaven
opened wide her portals to receive u
manlier spirit
At COvingtOn on Sunday, April ~,
1885, n little less than five years ago, the
euloEiEt OF Goebel pronounced another
funeral grafton. That time he stood by
the coffin OF Col. John l., Sanford. who.

ToPRKA. Rams, Feb 1.-THE state
supreme court IL the case Of the Atchi-
Son, Topeka & Santa Re Railway com-
pany against I. P. Campbell has hRnd-
I'd down \ decision. holding the act OF
the legislature requiring railroads to
furnish free transportation to shippers
OF live stock. 70 Be Unconstitutional.
The court was unanimous and its de-
cision reverses both the appeiiate court
and the sedgwicE comfy district court
The court says:
This Is a deprivation Of property
without due pfpeess Of law, and a de-
NAL OF the equal protection Of the laws,
and Is, therefore. unconstitutional and
void under the fourteenth amendment
to the constitution.
The railroads have furnished ship
pers of one car load free transportation
to market, the shippers paying their
fare home. For two car loads or more
the shipper is carried free both ways.
This Is the rule which has been OBJ
served for years and Is now in force.
The PopuIist legislature Of 1887 passed
the law declared Unconstitutional. It
provided that shippers Of one carload
should be carried free both ways.

MEETING OF THE LEGISLATURE.

After lapse of four years. the Demo
cratic party was today installed in full
passion OF the State government with
both branches of the Legislature largely
Democratic. This trust is again given
TO the Democrats by the people in the
full confidence that it will not be betrayed
and it is for the party to see that all the
pledges made duiing the campaign are
fully carried out. After four years OF
Republican rule. they were weighed in
the balance and found wanting. the reins
Of government again given over to the
Democrats, who for nearly thirty years
previous had uninterrupted control of the
State government. They have made
good beginning. and il they continue on
in the same line to the close of the session.
the people will say well done good and
faithful servants, you are worthy of the
trust conhded in you, continue in our
service. The two presiding officers are
men above reproach and have the best
interest of the State and people at heart,
and we feel assured they will not betray
the trust reposed in them by the people.
The acts OF this Legislature will be
watched with scrupulous eyes by the peo-
pie, and by its fruits it will be judged.
Evening capital. (Annapolis, Md.) 1884-1910, 1900-01-03

AT noon today the Maryland Legisla-
ture assembled for the ninety days ses-
sion of 1900 in the old historic State
capitol. The session promises to be one
of unusual interest. II is to be hoped
that all that is done will be for the best
interests OF the State, for the good ofthe
people and not for personal or political
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT. The presiding officers
of both houses are honorable. high
minded gentlemen. whose honor and in
tegrity none. can question and whose
character and reputation are above re-
proach. Their influence cannot fail to
be felt during the present session. and
they will have much to do with the re-
suit Of this sessions legislation.

BETTER TEACHERS FOR THE LOW
GRADES

IA
The CAPITAL has always argued for
the best teachers for the lower grades in
school. and fully endorses the following
from the Minneapolis Times:
The complaint has been made and is
probably not without foundation that the
lower grades in the public schools are
being neglected. There is a tendency.
especially in the larger cities. to spend
too little money on the lower grades and
too much on the higher schools. The
first of these are ineomparably more inn
portant than the others. They are
irequented by the younger children. who
most need and are most capable of re-
ceiving the best instruction. and who
cannot get il in any other place than the
public school, Still. it is notorious
fact that school boards often employ the
least competent teachers at the lowest
salaries for the primary grades and allow
them to do their work in the least desir-
able rooms of the school buildings. 1t
does not require much thought to. under
stand that this is an unwise arrangement.
If reirenchment be necessary it should
be applied TO the higher grades rather
than the lower. 1t is more important to
provide the very best of training for the
young children whose school education
is finished when they get through the
primary grades of the public school than
it is to provide expensive school facilities
for the more fortunate ones who can
complete their education at their leisure
in the higher schools.
