FIVE THOUSAND
FOR A MINSTREL
Jennie Alssander of Hogan Troupe
Uets Heavy Damages Against
Steamship Company
lFrom Thursday.s paIlyl

tFrom Thursdays DlllyJ
Five thousand dollars damages we're
awarded Jennie Alexander OF the Hoo
gan Minstrel Company in her suit
against the Canadian Australian Com
pany. by the jury, after q two hours
absence from the court room last night.
The announcement OF 81 600 damages,
double that which was the verdict in
Ernest Hogan's case, came like bomb
shell to the persons gathered in Judge
Davis court room.
To the Minstrels II was windfall
To the attorneys for the defendant
steamship company the verdict was a
deep surprise. The amount of the dam
ages in each OF the three cases has been
capricious. jumping from thousands OF
dollars TO n few hundreds, and then
back again into more thousands. II the
Ministries believe in lucky numbers they
certainly have reason to believe that
the figure three possesses a potent val
ne, and Is better than a rabbits foot In
the vest pocket
Counsel on both sides INDUCED in
lengthy arguments yesterday afternoon
and II was after six O'Clock before the
Judge charged the jury as to the law
upon which they should base their YER
diet
This makes the third case which the
Hoganites have won, the only difference
being the widely different amounts al
lotted. Jennie Alexander is known as
Annie Bradley" on the stage, and Is
one of the principal performers of the
minstrel company. Her suit against
the Canadian Australian Steamship Co.
has been watched with interest, as II
has been generally felt that II this case
was won by the plaintiff compromise
might be effected which would settle
the difference between the parties to
the suit. rather than drag it out In the
courts through the entire twenty-nint
different complaints.
The jury which brought in the YER
dict last night was as follows: f, j

sympathy for the Beers.

While there is friendly feeling between
the Mckinley Hanna Administration and i'm
perid England, the great body of the citizens
of the United States have no sympathy with
Great Britain in its efforts TO crush out the
Transvaal republic in South Africa and in
corporate the territory into the British En-
pire. This sympathy has found expression in
public meetings in various cities, and very
significant meeting of this kind was the one
held in Washington, the capital city, last
Sunday night, and so close to the White
House that the cheers Of the denunciation
of the British policy could be heard by Pres
ident Mckinley. The speakers were Sena-
tors Mason and Allen and Representatives
Sulzer, Clark, DeArmond. Cochran, Rhea,
Lentz and others. The meeting closed by
the adoption of preamble and resolutions,
reciting allegations of barbarism against
England and speaking of British greed, and
beseeching the President to offer his good
Offices as mediator.

English government is. Each is endeavoring
to stiHe liberty and annex foreign territory.
Each is sacrificing human life TO gratfify hn-
man greed, and because of this there is a bond
of sympathy between the English government
and the Hanna Mckinley Administration.

Mr.. Bryan in Baltimore.

William Jennings Bryan delivered ohe of
the most forcible speeches at Music Hall. Bal
timore, last Saturday night, that has been
heard in that city for many years. His audi
tors were mostly Democrats, but there were
hundreds of Republicans and independents
there, also, and even those who did not coin
eide with him in all things admired his cour-
age, his frankness, his honesty, his eloquence
aud his logic. And those who did not accord
with his views were those who are deaf to
logic and reason and not in sympathy with a
republican form of government and place the
dollar above the man.
His effort-no, not effort, for it requires no
effort for Mr.. Bryan to speak-his speech at
Music hall was one of great force, of sound
logic and of close reasoning. Mr.. Bryan is a
true believer in republican form of govern.
ment, an upholder of the Declaration of In
dependence, a supporter OF the Constitution,
follower Of Washington and Jefferson. and
defender of the rights of man.
On the first page will be found copious ex
tracts from Mr.. Bryan's speech, and we ask
close reading of them. The man who de-
clines to read after those whom he suppose.

How About Cuba ?

Senator Pettigrew, Republican, of South
Dakota, has introduced several resolutions of
inquiry into the Senate relative to Mr.. Me-
Kinley's foreign policy, and he has given the
Administration Senators much trouble. Mr..
Pettigrew should present resolution inquir-
ing of Mr.. Mckinley why United States SOL
diers are occupying and administering the
government of Cuba; whether they are there
by request, and if SO, by whose request. We
are not aware that any authorized govern
ment of Cuba has invited this government to
assume control of affsirs there, to collect and
disburse taxes, and to pass regulations for
government of the island, and some very
delicate questions may arise later, unless
the Hanna Mckinley Administrator intend
eventually to annex Cuba to the United
States. Just what our position and inten-
tons toward Cuba are ought to be known, and
Senator Pettigrew or some other Senator
should institute an inquiry.

Turn Down Reform League Bills.

The General Assembly of Maryland viii
seriously err if it passes the Reform League
bills for the governance of the police force o.
Baltimore. The Reform League is composed
of theorists and impracticables and Radica
Republicans. That League, through the Re
publican party, foisted upon this state reg
istration and election law that is inconsistent,
cumbersome and expensive, and which has
not added anything to the purity of elections.
The Reform League police bills will add to
the expense fthe city and not secure any
more efficie Mt constabulary than the city had
prior to Republican rule in 1895. Baltimore
city pays the expense of its police force, and
Mayor Hayes and some of the City Council
asked no more than the city's due-a repre-
sentative of the city governm emit on the Po-
lice Board, in order to see how the money is
spent. The Republican party was wrecked
in carrying out the idea ofthe Reform League.
Let the Democratic majority in the Legisla-
ture make note of it.

To Issue County Bonds.

The School Commissioners of Carroll are
in debt to the amount of about $50, 900. This
debt has been accommodating for twenty years,
and the School Board find the interest charge
of about $500 year heavy load. Conse-
auently they are having bill prepared to
nresent to the General Assembly to procure
authority for the County Commissioners to
issue bonds to the amount of $50, 600 in order
tn fund the debt. 1t is argued that the Sch oil
Board cannot borrow at less rate than six
per cent, whereas the county can borrow for
four per cent. The bill has not been drawn,
and the provisions cannot be given.
The debt ought never to have been con
tracted. School Commissioners should have
expended the funds placed into their han DIS
by the state and county to the best advantage,
and had no right to do more. The County
Commissioners are required to levy ten cents
on the 500 for public school purposes, and
have levied far beyond that for over twenty
wears. In recent years the levy for schools
has been from Is to 20 cents. In addition
the School Board has been receiving from
81. 900 to S., 900 year for nearly ten years
from liquor licenses.
Still the debt has been contracted and the
county has gotten the benefit, and the p eople
will have 10 pay it. In the future, however,
il is hoped no School Board will expend more
than the annual appropriations. 1t will be
many e--s bee~sa tho panple will AGAR, sane
ton the issuance of bonds. Ofthe County Ger
tifcates issued thirty five years age. $500 are
outstanding and there are also outstanding
81 900 of the Court House Repair Boais-a
total of Sl2,575. A public debt is rot pub
lie blessing, and an addition of $4,000 will
make total of 81, $50. This is not large,
of course, for county with taxable aasls
of over SIG, 1000, 900, but the addition of $780,,
600 in four per cent. bonds means $1,000
wear additional expense.
The people are not now nor never have had
proper returns for the money spent for school
purposes, and never will so long as there is
disposition to aim at higher education The
advanced pupils are getting smattering
of studies that will never be any use to them,
to the neglect ola practical aud useful edu-
cation in spelling, reading, writing, geogra-
ply, history and plain mathematics.
