THESE ARE FIGURES.

Another evidence that tends 10 prove
that the people are not prosperous Is
furnished by the trusts themselves The
great manufacturing industries of the
country have within the past five years
combined for the purpose OF preventing
fall In prices OF the things they
manufacture and control and in com
bining they have increased their stock
liabilities and bonded debt from less
than four thousand millions Of dollars
20 over twenty thousand millions OF
dollars. This Is, Of course, con-
elusive proof that the money question
Is dead, The total debt Of the people
is more than ten thousand millions Of
dollars more than the assessed value Of
all their property and more than half
OF the real value OF all the property
they own and control This Is another
evidence that the money question Is
dead. II these statements be true. can
Il be said that the people are prosper
Gus. that the money question Is dead?
And yet in face OF these facts. every
gold advocate and every plutocrat will
tell you with a bland smile that the
country never enjoyed such prosperity
as II does at the present time.

Mr.. Groot's Speech.

AT conference in Cleveland recently
composed of men who believe in the
doctrines set forth in the Chicago and
Kansas city platforms, It was con-
cluded, after elaboration, that the po-
litical situation required that some de-
finite action be taken with reference
TO the course to be pursued by the
supporters Of those platforms and Of
Mr.. Bryan at the coming election 1t
was decided, since the recent so-called
Democratic convention had deliberately
repudiated those platforms and Mr.
Bryan. that the only proper thing to
do was TO either refuse to vote or to
put a separate ticket in the field. The
latter course was adopted

FOR ELECTRIC ROAD.

Cambridge, Md, May 2s.-Ths agi.
tation for an electric railroad from
Cambridge to the lower districts Of
Dorchester county Is still kept alive.
1t is an Improvement that is undenia-
bly, needed by the people, and the
scheme may be worth pushing by capi-
talists. The investment might be
made to pay we'll. The land over
which the proposed road will have to
run is practically as level as table,
and it ought not to cost much to build
and KEEP a roadbed in condition. The
county which forms the lower districts
of Dorchester has great possibilities
for the profitable employment of capi-
tai. 1t Is so remote from the lines of
travel that it is still very much in the
same condition it was in so years ago.
All 1t needs is the magic touch Of
money and enterprise to make it a re.
markable region. Some day the land
will be snapped up and some people
will grow rich who are now land poor.
The reclamation of the marshes for
grazing. purposes, the draining Of rich
low agricultural lands, the development
Of oyster planting and other work offer
tempting Inducements for money now

CAROLINE SCHOOLS.

Greensboro, Md, May 2s.-while
the Kent County School Board is
abolishing the system of appointing
women as trustees Of the public schools,
Caroline county, which was the first to
place women in These positions, pro-
poses to continue the practice. In
some cases women trustees are in en-
tire charge OF particular schools.
State Superintendent of Public In
struction M. Bates Stephens was school
examiner of Caroline county when the
plan was first tried. He says:
THE plan has been found to work
well. The Caroline board does not
believe in placing women in the
minority on the trustees boards, and l
think to do SO is not the best way in
which to demonstrate their value ms
trustees. When the plan was first
adopted we placed certain schools en-
tirely in charge of women trustees, be-
lieving that the responsibility of
management should rest ON the women
alone, They have shown in Caroline
county that they are fully equal to the
work and the schools having women
trustees are among the best managed in
the county, >,

CITY ASKED TO PAY.

heeeiYes Ellis for Dredging in Front of the
Wharves of the Pusey g. Jones and Har-
lan a. Hollingsworth Companies.
The city Is asked to pay-its share at
least--for dredging in front of the
wharves at the shipyards of the Harlan
q Hollingsworth Co. Some time ago
the latter company sent The Street and
Sewer department bill ior about 5000
Tor dredging, which was necessary,
before a lalge ship could be launched,
claiming that the city was liable for a
par which rad formed in front of THE
comp sny's ways, the bar resulting from
sewage.
Prior to the time the bill was re.
ceiyed the matter was brought TO the
attention of the department and an
investigation had been, begun by Engi-
neer Hatton, TO ascertain to what
extent he considered the city liable for
the depositln the river. When the hill
was received it was laid over for further
consideration.
Tuesday morning the department re-
oeived bill from the Pusey & Jones
20. for ST70, the cost OF dredging in
front of the company s ways re. ently
before boat could be launched. The
bill was placed with the one from the
Harlan & Hollipgsworth Go. and the
two are to be taken up later. If the
department decides that the city is
responsible it will pay according to the
proportion of responsibility, as figured
ont by the directors.

prlsed that the oity is receiving auch

efforts TO have the CITY make an ap-
preparation annually for dredging.

luton adopted April 18th, which, in
adnition to specified contract for

After the reading Of the resolution,
Mr.. Murphey stated that. under ouch
contract, he would not think of
starting to build the road, and was
ready to step out of town at once. He
said such contract was absurd, aud
could not and would not be tolerated
by any contractor. He promised to
deposit In the Farmers Bank q ohec!.
for SO, 600 as guarantee for the build
ing an equipping OF the road in Dover
within 60 days, aud declared he would
not open street until the proper time.
He agreed TO Fave the roadbed dis
tanoe of is inches on each side OF the
track with hard brick, and keep the
same 10 repair as long rs the ioad
existed. He guaranteed the building
OF road at an expense of $750, 600.

THE CHINESE INDEMNITY,

Pekin, China, May 81. 1T seems
probable that Great5Britain's propo-
sition limiting the indemnify to be de-
mandednfrom China to 450, 900. 600 taels
will be agreed to by the end Of the
week.
United States Special Comm issioner
'Rockhill thinks this may be considered
an American victory. Though his
proposition limiting the indemnity to
80, 600, 900 tsels was not accepted, still
it was the cause of the other Powers
considering the idea.
The only point likely to cause further
delay IN decision by all the Powers,
except America, is that regarding the
raising of the foreign customs 5 per
cent. Mr.. Rockhill told the ministers
at recent meeting that, rather than
take this STEP, America would re-
linquish all claims to indemnity and
would even make a, money present TO
China, as American commercial
interests would suffer far more there
by than fhpse of any other Power,
with possibly one exception.
