the coal shaft, another that he be hanged.
Sober heads saved the boy from further pun
ishment, and Sheriff Dudley WAS notified by

Just why, please?

Several Of our respected contemporaries
decline to report the heavy weight hogs that
have been slaughtered in the several com
munties.
Now we look upon the breeding up" of
the hog as being fully as merltorious as the
Improvement of fruit or grain by the Sc
lection of the fittest; and as ambition to excel
may be best fed by publicity given to success,
we fail in our calculation of merit and de-
merit, as 1t may be viewed by those of our
brethren who have arbitrarily drawn the
line at the fat hog.
II the mountain "razor back" were &C.

CHRISTMAS.
Gen. Merriam's Reward.

If the honor and emolnments attached to
the office of Director of the Census Is not the
full equivalent of the labor required at his
hands, the fun that he must be getting out
of the unanimous kick that Is being launched
out by the Maryland county towns should
be allowed as a per contra to the salary
and honor deficit
1t Is probable that an error Of two per
cent may be allowed the enumerators, Ger
talnly not more and 80 slight difference
between the actual and enumerated popula.
tion does not warrant the howls that one
hears.
If these dormant or dying communities
would have their complaints obtain respect
full hearing In 1910, let them develop the en-.
terprlse and public spirit that insures growth
in the meantime and instead ofpuerile mouth
ings ut the census bureau, we will have
peans of self laudation when the reports OF
the next census are published and the head
Of the Census Bureau will get more salary In
lieu OF less fun.

One Of the most interesting government
reports we have had for many years, and one
that will be read with profit by every patri,
otto citizen, is the report Of the National
Military Park Commission that has just come
from the government printing office at Wash.
ington. THIS work tells the story of the re-
markabe progres that has been made IN pre-
serving every historical feature of the deci.
sive battlefield of our civil war. Col, John
p. Nicholson, of this city, has been the chair.
man of the commission for some years, and
when his great work shall haye been COM
pleed it viii stand as monument to his
patriotic an6 enlightened efforts, as endur-
ing as the monuments on the field to the
great actors of that desperate conflict.
Congress should not hesitate to make a lib
eral appropriation for the completion of the
Gettysburg work. The area of the battle
field ia over 25 square miles, covering every
form Of country from plain to rugged bill
with tho Rocky Devils Den, and Seminary
and Cemetery ridges as the central positions
Of the opposing armies. The commission
bas now constructed over fifty miles OF
avenues; has ascertaincd and marked the
places for 874 monuments and tablets show
ing the positions of the opposing regiments
on every part Of the field. Batteries EN-.
bracing 1856 guns have been located with all
their shifting in the three days contest; and
when this grand work 81 all be completed
the commonest understanding can 90 upon
the battlefield at Gettysburg and read its
history from start to finish with absolute
accuracy.
Strange as 1t may seem the appropriation
to the Gettysburg Commission haye always
found objectors in Congress, but fortunately
they have been of little weight, and they
ought to he of less Importance today than al
any time in the past. The work has pro-
gressed to such an extent that none who see
it can question the wisdom Of inauguratinp

same direction that started it. 1t needs now
