CLOSE OF THE LENTEN SEASON.

The close of the Lenten season is at
hand and today all christendom COM
memorates Good Friday, the ami
versary of the sacrifice upon the
cross. This day nineteen hundred
years ago, the Divine Master made
the forgiveness of sin and trangres-
sion possible by his atonement upon
Calvary. Today we look upon the
cross and recall the agony of Him who
suffered so for our sakes. We hear
again the last words ''it is Finished"
and know that the bitter cup has
passed and that the terror ofthelaw
no longer exists. We follow the
Sacred body to the holy sepulchre,
and turning therefrom we wait and
watch for the first hearlding of the
Easter anthem, "Christ is risen."
Our nation today is cast over with
Inc non OIS vi lSSSuI DlOOu SISd, eauu
the whole world seems at unrest. In
the government of men by man there
seems to be something lacking, where
by the harmony of the whole is dis
turbed. Is there something ominous
in the extensive armament of the
kingly powers? Is there not too
much stress laid upon the acquisition
of earthly dominion and the power of
sordid gain?
These anniversaries of the Cross
should remind US of the "King of
Kings" and the Prince of Peace" and
at time when the sword is about to
be drawn in war, we should not at
the same time lose sight Of
"The sword of the spirit,
The word of life,
Unsheath it now, and strong in trusting
bear it
Into the strife.
Let doubt and foul oppression fall be-
meath it,
Nor rest at ease,
Till Prince Emmanuel returns to sheath
it
And there be peace"

1t will be gratifying for those
who are interested in the welfare of
the county fair to know that the
directors held such an important and
harmonious meeting on Monday.
Everyone present showed both
earnestness and zeal in trying to do
all in his power to make the next ex-
hibition a success. The resolution
offered by General Stump will COM
mand special attention. This will be
an unique feature and we believe will
prove an additional drawing card to
the fair. 1t has often been urged
that the men did not know how to
handle the exhibits ofthe women and
there is much force in the point.
Now they will absolutely control
their own part of the exhibition and
doubtless it will be conducted with
much less friction than formerly.

A Gard to the Gentlemen.

Owing to the unprecedented increase in my business
during the past few years. am compelled by lack of space
to remove from my old location to the more commodous
rooms in the Y. M. C. A. Building situated at 900 North
Charles street, Saratoga ground floor in which have
secured tor my patrons convenences not heretofore enjoyed
while selecting their wearing apparel and being fitted with
same.
1t will afford me great pleasure to have you call at your
earliest opportunity for the purpose of inspecting my
establishment and take occasion to state that have secured
the services of one of the finest cutters known and the style
and fit of garments that from my establishment shall
always bear the stamp of perfection.
My special London Importations have just arrived
Hoping to be favored with an early call, am
Respectfully yours,

taken. No board has ever before had
the temerity to plunge the Town into
such headlong proceeding, without
first calling town meeting and dis
cussing the matter fully. 1t will be
noticed that the DEMOCRATS article
ingeniously evaded an explanation
of the Boards disregard ofprecedent
and tried to deceive the public by in
direct insinuations against a former
member of the Board.
1t seems now, that the brilliant
rays from the Acetylened brain ofour
luminous editor having been thrown
upon the transaction, the contract
after all had string to it, and it is
not yet binding. For if, as the DEM
cRArsays "the specifications TO BEIN-
SERTED in the contract to give US fifty
SO candle power lights, all night and
every night etc." then taking our
contemporary at his own word, the
present contract with the Acetylene
people has not even in it the number
and character of lights to be furnish
ed. Perhaps when it is examined
more closely it may be found that
even the amount to be paid has not
yet been inserted" On account of
"our timidity" we do not like to ask
this question direct, but if wedo find
out we promise to publish it so that
the rest of the 'tuninformed" can be
little better posted.
And now word as to the repeal
of "uninforcible ordinances" No
man is the type ola good citizen who
will not aid in the enforcement of
every law upon the statute books,
no matter how much it may inter-
fere with his personal comfort or
luxury. And a Commissioner who
fails to see that every ordinance is
obeyed in accordance with the strict
letter of the law, should recall the
solemn oath taken before he can ex-
ercise the duties the office. VERBUM
SAT sAPIENTI.
We regret that this agitation has
developed into personalities; but
there is much truth in the old saying
Eight the devil with fire." The DEM
ocRAT has seen fit to revert ito other
times and other Boards ofunfragrant
memory, when in another capacity
the complainant did not apply the
best business principles to the con-
duct of the Commissioners office,
when ordinances of doubtful con-
struction were passed, exemptions
from taxation were granted, debts
contracted that were long unpaid
and improvements made that did not
improve"
The untruthfu1ness of this bold in
dictment has been answered at several
annual elections. Four times have
majority of the taxpayers of Bel Air
endorsed in a fattering manner the
official action of one who has per-
formed the duties of his office to the
best of his ability.
The present Board should be con-
graduated for what it has accom-
plshed along certain lines. They
have been good collectors and can
grind the overburdened taxpayer to
perfection. When they came into of
fee they found assets sufficient to
practically discharge every liability
that had been incurred by previous
boards. This they collected, and
promptly extinguished the debt.
Since that time they have, themselves,
been compelled to borrow money,
and the boosted surplus that wehear
so much about on the streets has
vanished-in its place is a debt of six
hundred dollars.

CAESAR HATH SPOKEN.

when Caesar speaks the world
trembles-Cesar hath spoken" True
the voice comes from a long way of,
from the fragrant bowers and signing
boughs of the famous Southern Pines,
yet are we, his humble subjects, CRATE
full indeed for the information impart-
ed, and which has heretofore been
locked within the tight embrace of
committee walls, accessible only to
chosen few. This is the first report
of the committee, so far as the town
minutes show, since its appointment
On November Goth, 1900. Our regret
is, that those who are so unfortunate
as not to have access to the files of
the hartford DEMOCRAT will not be
able to understand the true status of
the towns affairs, unless copy gifts
last issue is filed amongst the archives
of the town.
This epistle from the Pines was in
tended to set all things straight; and
the residents of Bel Air can rest in
peace and security in the knowledge
that, although they themselves do
not know what is best yet the Town
Commissioners, "as trustees" are
fondly looking after the individualin-
terests of the taxpayers; and while
they have entered into a contract
which will cost the poor deluded resi-
dents SIX THOUSAND, SEVEN HUNDRED
AND FIFTY DOLLARS, without so much
as giving a single line of notice in ad-
vance, even in the hartford Demo-
Graf, yet it seemed best not to let it
be known, for reasons which do not
appear on the surface.
Unctious though the explanation
may be yet it lacks one feature, and
that is, some portions do just a little,
pardon the expression, rasp against
the truth. fit were not for this the
article would have been unassailable,
and the position that THE EeIs has
taken would be untenable.
No doubt this is due to climatic
conditions. The soothing breezes,
doubtless, producing the same effect
as befell the lotus eaters, made our
good friend forgetful of that solemn
biblical injunction, Numbered from
Mt. Sinai, Chou shalt not bear false
witness against thy neighbor."
1t is not our purpose to criticise
any advance action that the board
has taken, looking to an improve
ment in the lighting service. We
commend it for this action even ifthe
committee failed to put upon the
minutes of the Board the result ofits
findings. What we do urge, how
ever, is the hasty action, because it
was, so far as the residents were con-
cerned, taken without any public
notice being given. Radical steps, in
matters that seriously affect our
common interests, should have full
yentilati ION before final action is

Director General Merriam seems
determined to get at the bottom of
the Census frauds in Maryland. He
is now having the returns from one
of the precincts in Anne Arundel
county investigated. Thegain seems
abnormal and no doubt when the
truth is discovered it will be found
that like portions of St. Mary's
county they will show that there has
been skillful manipulation for parti-
san purposes. Theposition taken by
Governor Smith last winter is meet
ing with approval everywhere and
his call of an extra session of the
Legislature is receiving the endorse
ment by every fair thinking person.
