rlaryIand Legislature.

Delegate Kimhle on Monday pre-
scented a petition from the Cecil
County Grange asking for an ap-
preparation of $4,000 to continue
the Farmers Institute.
The bill amending the Constitu
ton and making the verdict of nine
out of twelve jurors the verdict of
the whole in all civil cases is before
the legislature and may be passed.
The House bills to provide for
sign posts in Cecil county and to
make Saturday afternoon Q legal
halt-holiday in Cecil county passed
the Senate last week and now
await the Governors signature.
The bill appropriating to the
Cherry Hill, Elkton and Chesapeake
City Electric Railway the sum Of
sos, 900 now in the State Treasury
to the credit of Cecil county, passed
the Senate last Wednesday, having
previously passed the House. The
conditions of this appropriation are
that any amount devoted to any
corporation must be equalled by
paid up stock held by the corpora
ton itself. The bill now only needs
the Governors signature to become
a law.

E. H. WORTHINGTON & SON.

The legislature is overrun with
bills begging for donations from the
State treasury for private institu-
tions, which increase in number
and persistency by their advocates
every session. If there isn't some
method to bring about reform in
this abuse-for that is the proper
name for 1.-THE State will be bank
rnpted by giving away its funds.
The dividing line between State and
privateinstitutions should be drawn
broad and strong and each party
strictly confined to its legitimate
territory.
Johns Hopkins University-s
rich mans charity, has become a
gentleman beggar, more and more
persistent every succeeding session.
There are also numbers of sectarian
institutions which are pensioned on
the State. A radical reform is
needed in this matter and it ought
to be inaugurated by the present
legislature. Private institutions
not self sustaining, if of a public
beneficial character, should be
turned over to the State and all
sectarian pensioned institutions
abolished and discontinued.

Good Roads.

The good roads excitement has
| got into the legislature and two
bills have been introduced. One
of the bill starts out in the old way
namely, of creating salaried offices
1t provides for three commissioners
at a salary of $1,000 each per year
What they are to do is question
There is nothing they can do oil
any Importance to the public but
lift their salary. All the legisla-
ture can accomplish in furthering
the project of good roads in the
State is to. appropriate a certain
sum to each county to be expended
annually, in connection with a
similar amount, or more or less
amount, as might be determined, by
the counties.
But before any moneys appro-
priated by the State should be
expended, it should be a require
ment that the counties should have
their roads located by competent
civil engineers, laid off in sections
and specifications made by the
engineers stating the necessary re-
quirements of each section, the
plans subject to the county COM
missioners' approval. This done
the roads could be let to contractors
by sections, and cost ascertained in
advance. If the commissioners
concluded the tax payers could
stand it, as much as the county
purse would bear each year could
be expended together with the
State appropriation. Some such
plan as this would insure the
gradual extension of good roads
and keep control of the work in the
hands of the county authorities
where it should rest.
The construction of stone roads
requires an outfit of costly machin-
cry, the chief among which are
stone breakers, heavy cast iron
rollers and traction engines to move
the rollers. Rollers weighing ten
to twenty tons are necessary to first
pack the ground forming the bed of
the road as hard as brick before
putting on crushed stone.

Movement Among Farmers.

Farmers at last are showing signs
of falling in line with the spirit of
the age and moving toward form
ing combinations. which promise
to benefit them. The unprotected
condition of the farmer has made
him the prey Of every other class of
industrials.
The Talbot County Farmers
Association has been organized at
Easton, Md, and regular meetings
of the entire association were fixed
fol the first Saturdays in January,
April, July and October of each
year.
We look for farmer associations
to spread, such movements being
contagious. The Grange was an
attempt on the line of farmers asso
citation but it has only been a par
tial success and that in spots. The
spirit of the age demands differ
ent order of movement.

Habeas Corpus Case Decided,

Hugh Charles Wilson, of Port
Deposit, recently sued out a writ Of
habeas corpus in the Circuit Court
for Cecil County against Henry
Watson, of Frenchtown, to gain
possession of his son, Orland Will
son, aged seven years. The case
was heard by Judge Frederick
Stump Tuesday morning at Elkton.
The Judge decided in favor of the
defendant and remanded the child
to the custody OF MI. Watson. Mr..
W Visions first wife died about five
years ago, leaving the boy Orland,
aged two years. 1t was claimed by
the Watsons that the boy was civ II
to them by his mother before she
died to raise as their own. Mr..
Wilson has since remarked and
now desires to regain possession of
his son, claiming that Watson
would not let him see his child.

and who was arrested on an oyster
boat down the Bay, was identified
by Miss Bradford on Monday last
and is confined in Baltimore city
Jail, as precaution against lynch
ers if taken to Belair jail. A law

mergency, empowering the judges
of circuit courts to call the grand
jury together at any time in order
that the case may be brought to
trial as speedily as possible.
