There never has been an army of 250.-
600 men gotten together and equipped

ut was simply wonderful that the
government of the United States was
able TO do it, Since the war COM
menced everything else has followed
as a natural and logical sequence, but
the Democratic managers have done
nothing but kick, kick, kick. There
has never been time since Dewey
sailed into Manila pay that our gov
ernment could have let go of the
Philippine islands with consistency
OF honor. We destroyed the only
government there was in the islands
and we are in duty bound to supply a
government in the place of the one
we have destroyed. To say nothing
about military or commercial consid-
erations, it would be an unchriStian
like act, cruel act, contemplate
act, for the United States to with
draw our troops now 1t would leave
the natives who have been friendly

revenge and plunder. Mckinley has

Grand Opera in Frederick,

The plot of Verdi's grand opera,
'IlTrOvatOre," is perhaps the
most dramatic and thrilling of all
the great lyric masterworks. Tro-
vatore, or, in English, the Troub-
ador, is the brother of the Count.
di-Luna and was stolen as an in.
FAINT by gypsies. The troubadOr's
father had caused. Azucena's
mother to be burnt at the stake,
and in dying she asked her
daughter Azucena to avenge her.
The latter had her own infant in
her arms and in her frenzied con
dition threw it into the fire in
mistake for the infant ManricO,
the troubador. The gypsy after.
wards cares for Manrico and
brings him up as her own son.
He falls in love with the Duchess
Leonora, who returns his affec-
ton. She, however, is also loved
by ManricO's brother, the Count
di-Luna, whom she hates. After
many and varying fortunes, the
Count dOoms his rival to death,
and after Manrico has been be-
headed, Azucena informs the
Count that he has killed his
brother, whom he has long vainly
endeavored to find. Thus the
gypsy avenges the burning of her
mother.
The Strakosch Opera Company
will present this great master
work at the City Opera House on
Thursday, February 10, at 8
O'Clock, with great cast of lead

Shameful Neglect of Our Public
Roads.

The Republican County Commits.
siontrs Seen to have no difficulty i'll
getting together when Republican
Road SUI ervisors ae to Dr selected.
The question of the Improvement of
our pubic roads was a matter of general
di-cus,ion during our last election. 1t
was the wish That this question, as far
as possible, should be removed f,om
politics. w, eIe there was-a good road
supe, visor. who was homes ly il terested
in the expendi ure of appropriations IN
tue public roads, such man should be
retained; tut where there were men
VINO neg ected their duties and couse-
quently the r. ads, they should he re-
moved and better men put il their
PAGES. In the recent appointments
some very bad super, isors have been
select d. The commi sioners have
bet ell informed of the neglect of duty
upon the part of these men, and yet in
the face of proper protests these APP
pointments have been made. We
know that there are men who are in err
ested in giving tie public good roads
and honestly spend every dollar APP
propria Ell. In one instance in New
Market district we are informed that
road supervisor, a Mr.. Mount, returned
part of his APPROPRIATED as he could
not use it to advantage, and as an hon
est man and taxpayer he returned The
unused money o the County Commits
sioners. Now, on the other hand, we
know there are men who do not W, rk
to any account on tile roads they have
In charge aud yet pocket every cent
they get from the Taxpayers This IS
DOWNRIGHT robbery. 1t is stealing the
peoples money, and such men snoud
be held up to public scorn. S netting
must be done t. stop the squandeIing
of the thousands Appropriated for our
public roads or we should say something
must tie done TO make the supervisors
put the money into working our public
roads. A competent engineer outside
Of politics could see that the roads are
properly worked, aud, ifnot, the super
visors should be reported. In the alb
sence OF such an appointment, let the
people in the districts take this matter
II hand and report all direlict on OF
duty. A few examples Will have a
wonderful eff ct. Let our peope take
this matter in baud and in the future
determine to report all who neglect
this great public duty.

Adjurant General Saunders.

The appointment of General John
Saunders, of Baltimore, as Adjutant-
General of the Maryland militia seems
to be very popular one and
meets with very general approval.
Governor Smith gave this question a
great deal of consideration and en-
deavored from the abundance of evil
dence submitted in favor of the various
candidates to secure the most desirable
man. Without reflections upon any
one, the Governor in view of many let
tiers touching on the high standing of
General Saunders, selected him for this
important position. General Saunders
is a graduate of West Point. He is a
descendant of four generations of mill
tary men, who have served their coun.
try, and as brave soldier, will, we feel
sure, be an honor to the State and an
efficient officer of our State militia.

After the death of Goebel, Lieutenant
Governor Beckham, who was on the
ticket with G. ebel, was inaugurated
and is now taking GoebePs place.
Taylor, the Republican claimant for
the honor, is still holding out, but it is
said that he is willing to sign an agree
ment that Will put peaceful end to
the business. 1t is to be hoped that
he will do this, for uRto date his ac-

THE Republicans who are so open
in their denunciation of Goebel, of
Kentucky, who was so cowardly assas-
sinated by Republican law breaker
in Frankfort, Kentucky, should bear
in mind that the people have not for
gotten the stealing of the Presidency
and the unwillingness of the outraged
Tilden to plunge the country in the
horrors of civil war. These blatant
Republicans are a pretty set to talk
about stealing the Governorship.
Remember the outrage on Samuel j.
Tilden by the Republican party of the
ration.

Meeting of the Democratic Gen.
trail Committee.

The members of the Democratic
Central Committee for Frederick Dis
trict met on Friday last, for the pur-
pose of recommending the local APP
pointments for this district. Hon.
Jacob NJ. Newman presided with Mr..
William Crimmins as acting secretary.
Some twenty members were present
and after a full discussion of the merits
of the various applicants selections were
made. Instead of these appointments
being selected by the chairman or Sen
ator, a full committee was invited, each
one expressing his individual views
upon the merits of the candidates.
The same endorsements have been
asked hy the chairman of all the
districts of the county. Whilst some
have been disappointed in these mat
tiers, surely no farer way could be Sc
lected to make good appointments, and
no one should complain when twenty
five men are called together to consult
aud make appointments for the party
in this district

City The Democratic Central Com
mittee for Frederick District have +, al
lied the importance of securing the
b st men for these important places.
With that object in view three lawyers
were selected and it is gratifying to
learn that the selections have met with
very general approval. 1t is claimed
that whilst Mr.. Ecksteln was justice Of
the peace of this city, fewer of his de-
cisous were reversed than any magis-
trate ever holding position of such
Importance in this county. Messrs.
Smith AID Wood are young lawyers,
well and most. favorably known
throughout the county. With decent
salaries great saving should be made
for the taxpayers of the county.

GOEBEL DEAD.
In his Last Moments he Ad-
vised his Friends to Keep
Cool and Obey the Law.

FRANKFORT, KY, Feb. A.
The death of Mr.. Goebel occurred
at $50 O'Clock last night
DR.. Hume announced at noon
that the wounded man was de.
cldedly worse. lie was restless
at that hour and apparently los.
ing strength. Hypodermic Va
jectiOns of morphine and antro-
pine had been administered.
The doctor stated that Oh the
morning GOebel was shot he was
i'll in the hotel and went to the
State House without breakfast.
He had had practically no nour
ishment since.
Mr.. GOebel rallied little at 2
o'clock and was stimulated by
oxygen which was pumped into
his lungs.
The physicians abandoned
hope at about a quarter to 3
O'Clock, and devoted their efforts
to keep him alive until his
brother, Justus, from Arizona,
arrived.
DR.. j. +. TalIaferro, Metho-
dist minister, was summoned to
GSebeFs bedside at about a quar-
ter past 3 o'clock. He left the
dying mans bedside at about a
quarter to 4 and went down
stairs into the hotel parlor, at the
request of several friends and rel
atives, and held a brief prayer
meeting.
AT Goebel's request Chaplain
Wallace, of the Kentucky Peni-
Tertiary, an intimate friend, was
sent for and the two had a short
conversation.
"Lew," said Mr.. Goebel, 1 wish
to announce to the world that l
do not hold myself in open vic
lence to the word of God.n
1t had been said that Goebel
was an agnOstic.
The wounded man died Just be.
fore his brother Justus arrived at
his bedside. His brother Arthur,
and his sister, Mrs. Braunecker,
were alone with him when the
end came.
Taylor was notified at his office
by telephone of Goebel's death.
He said:
81 deeply regret his DEATH"
Senator elect B ack bur n,

dozen others, including some OF
the most prominent Democrats in
Kentucky, issued an address tc

bel's death, and saying:

lucky to investigate. There is
one reason which makes it quite
sure that this request will not be
granted; Mr.. Mckinley has no
authority to appoint such a com
mission. There is good reason
for the assertion that Taylor has
lost much of the sympathy he
had from mem bers of the admin
istration by his high.handed and
illegal actions since the dastardly
assassination of Mr.. Goebel.
Senator Devoe is said to have
become disguised with Taylor's
acts, and to have told him so by
telegraph and to have advised
him not to oppose the State
courts.

The Governors House Needs Look
ing After.

The unsanitary condition of the
gubernatorial mansion in Annapolis is
the cause of general surprise by those
interested in the health of the inmates
of that home 1t will be a surprise to
many to learn that there is but one
bath room on the habitable floor of
of that big house, and that an old-style
bath tub is still in use, and possibly no
work done on the plumbing since the
BUILDING of the house. The health of
the Governor and his family is certainly
matter of concern to the citizeus of
the State. A thorough examination
of the plumbing of the mansion should
be made without delay and additional
bath rooms should be provided. The
Committee on Public Buildings should
take this matter in hand and see that q
proper appropriation is made for these
much-needed improvements.

THERE is one thing very certain that
the magistrates who have been recon-
mended for appointment by the Gov
ernor will not be allowed to carry on
the disgraceful business ofgetting cases
simply to make fees and piling up
costs on the county. This trouble will
be obviated by the law, and we hope
it will be passed for this district. The
county districts. however, will be
looked to, end one thing is certain that
Governor Smith will not hesitate to
remove any man when proper cause be-
given him. We want no more dis
graceful accounts against the tax
payers.

The Rough Rider Rebuked.

Governor Roosevelt seems to be
about the only man of prominence
who oountenanced the high-handed
and outrageous proceedings Of the So
called Governor Taylor, of Kentucky.
But we should not denounce Roose-
welt for playing as he always does to
the gallery, for Marylanders owe this
"Rough Rider" debt of gratitude for
his trip through Maryland during our
last campaign, when he turned hun
dreds OF voters to the Democratic
camp. So let him rest in peace.

Good Appointments.

Governor Smith has so far recovered
from his recent sickness as to be able to
give considerable time to the hundreds
of applications for office now before
him. 1t is the desire of the Governor
to secure the very best men to repre-
sent his administration, and in this
wish he has the earnest cooperation of
all the best citizens of the State.

IT is general desire that our magis-
trates be authorized to deal with tramps
and disturbers of the peace. This law
honestly carried out will rid our city Of
hundreds of unwelcomed visitors. The
city magistrates are to receive no fees
for these cases as they did in the past.
When it is found that country magis-
trates are abusing this law the Gov
ernor's attention will certainly be called
to them.
