Ieachers, Institute Manual.

This week Examiner Simpson sent to all
the teachers the Manual which maps out the
work for the next Institute to he heldin West
minister, September to II The Manual was
carefully prepared by State Superintendent,
DR.. M. Bates Stephens, and the intention of
the author is that each teacher shall read it
repeatedly, preserve it and bring it to the
Institute The Manual will be the basis of
the Institute work. and the questions and
topics suggested in it will be taken up.
1t is expected that all teachers will take
some part in the Institute, and by studying
the Manual they will be better prepared to
give and to receive information on the various
subjects presented
According to the suggestion of The Super
intendent many teachers will find their names
on the program for talks OF two minutes or
longer. But it is clearly to be understood
that those whose names are not on the program
will feel as free to take part in the Institute
work as those whose names are given. This
is 10 be the best Institute that has ever been
held in Westminster The Institute Instruc-
tors are competent and practical school men.

Messrs Editors: At this crisis in the fortunes of
the Democratic party it is of more than ordinary
consequence to the country and to the party that
the next House of Representatives should be Demo
cratic To secure that result the best and strongest
candidates should be nominated. There should be
something like patriotism, and persons whose
nomination would embarrass the party should step
aside and make way for men who can command
the most votes. The Second Maryland Congress
sional district in which Carroll countyis included.
is Democratic district, and always has been, and
yet II is represented by Republican,, and has been
represented by Republican for eight years. The
last time Democrat was elected was in 1892, just
10 years ago The Democrats in the district are dis
couaged at these repeated defeats and another de-
feat will seriously affect the State election of next
year. Out in the counties Democrats like to
march in the torchlight professions after the cleo
lions. and they hate bitterly to be always on the
losing side. Eight years of Republican Congress
sional representation i'll district normally Demo
cratic is about enough, it seems to me. The dis
trict is composed of Hartford, Carroll and Baltimore
counties and the Fifteenth and Sixteenth wards of
Baltimore city. The last State election, that of
1901, was not very favorable to the Democratic
party, but at that election the counties and wards
now composing the Second district gave Demo-
cratic majority of IT'S, as follows:

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Chicago Chronicle (Dem.) says:
Congress may pass laws designed to
protect the President from assassina-
ton. but history shows that the assas-
sin who is willing to sacrifice his own
life in order to kill someone else can
not be guarded against. In the short
history of our own country we have
had three such instances. Few people
will believe that either Booth, Guiteau
or - zolgoz could have been deferred
from their murderous purpose by any
law that could have been enacted. The
law can punish such crimes, but it
cannot prevent them"
The Philadelphia Ledger (Ind.) says:
THE hard-headed, unsentimental
Beers belong to the class of people
who, while willing TO fight to the last
extremity, know when they are whip
ped. and when they surrender, do so
without reserve. That they will be as
good colonists under the British flag
as under their own. provided that they
are properly treat&1, is not to be
doubted. In this connection it may
be noted that one of the first procla-
nations by the British imposes a tax
of 10 per cent. net on mining opera
lions in the Transvaal, while the Boer
tax, which irritated the mining inter-
ests into stirring up the war, was but
per cent"

TWO PHILIPPINE BILLS.

Notwithstanding the long and tire
some debate on the Philippine govern
ment bill in the Senate it looks as If t.
" ould be a quite long while yet before
there will be legislation by Congress
for the government of the Philippines.
The bill passed by the House is radi-
cally different in important particulars
from that passed by the Senate. Both
bills were alike when they were intro
duced. The House passed the bill
promptly with comparatively few
changes. The Senate passed the bill on
June 3, after having made very i'm
portant changes in it.
The changes made by the Senate to
which the House will likely make
stronge objection relate to two matters
local government and coinage. The
House bill, for instance, provides that
the Philippine Commission shall order
an election of delegates to what is to
be known as the Philippine Assembly.
After the election of this assembly
legislative powers for the Philippines;
eiAN " w CACNNlSCd Nv u iGSlSldluTG
composed of the Philippine Commission
and the Philippine Assembly, the COM
mission to be one branch and the as
sembly another branch of the Legisla-
ture. The Senate bill simply provides
that a census of the islands shall be
taken after the restoration of peace
from which 1t is to be decided as to
whether the islands or any of them are
fit for representative government.
The House bill also provides for the
geld standard. and for the use of sill
yer as subsidiary coinage only. Tn.
Senate bill allows free coinage of a
silver dollar, which is to issue at par
with gold, and which is to possess legal
tender qualities within the Philippine
Islands. The Senate BILL in fact. pro
Fides for the free coinage of silver on
a small scale. 1t is thought that tha
House will object to this emphaticallv
1t will be seen from the foregoing that
the differences between the two bills
are of such a character that it viii,
be difficult for the two houses to ad-
just them.

OIL PREFERRED.

One of the effects of the coal strike
/ is to turn the attention of manufac-
/ tuners, railroad and steamship men to
/ ell as a fuel. Just now a great deal
| OF soft coal is being used in New York
city The smoke from this coal is so
| Objectionable that there is a general
! protest against it. Manufacturers are
/ therefore experimenting with oil, and
| they are finding it so satisfactory that
il is thought that in a comparatively
short time most OF the factories in that
city using steam power viii be using
oil as fuel. 1t is said by manufactur-
ers now using oil that they will never
20 back to coal, even if coal should be
cheaper after the strike than it was
before.
One manufacturer who was inter
viewed in regard to oil said that he
had equipped some of his boilers for
! burning oil, and that he was equipping
the others as fast as he could. He
claimed that with oil he could main
tain a steady and uniform heat under
a boiler, something he could not do
with coal. Besides, it requires less
labor to feed the fire with oil and the
fire can be turned on and off at a mo-
! ment's notice That cannot be done
when coal is the fuel.
And it is found that oil costs less
than coal. The manufacturer inter-
viewed said that ne was paying the
Standard Oil Company $1.O5 per barrel
now for crude petroleum. and at that
price oil was the cheaper, but he ex-
pected, he said, to get oil from Texas
in a short time at so or 60 cents a
barrel. At that price oil, it will be
readily seen, is much cheaper than
coal.
A ship owner was also interviewed
in regard to oil as fuel, and he said
that of the eight steamers under his
control one had been changed to an oil
burner and the others were being
changed
1t will be seen from the foregoing
that the strike is bringing oil into use
as fuel. OF course, if there had been
no strike oil would have gradually
made it's way into general use, but the
strike has given it an impetus that
threatens 20 greatly lessen the demand
for coal in the immediate future.

A whistler Story.

Whistler one afternoon called on a
young painter of his acquaintance who
did the pretty little sort of things that
are popular, says the New Yorl;
Times. In the course of the conversa-
ton that followed the young artist
turned to a little head he was paint
ing, and, daintily balancing a square
palette by one corner between two fin
ger tips, took a fine sable brush and
as daintily began to tickle a piece of
bad drawing into a 'sweet expression"
saying:
"A pleasant art, ours, isn't it, Jim
my?"
Yes" was Whistlers response, "but
what are you doing, Frank?"
oh" said the young artist, II am
painting a replica of a little thing
some one liked, because, you know, |
can always sell two or three of the
same subject, if it's a taking one.'
All" commented Whistler, you
must be genius, Frank and 1, alas!
am like the supplemented hen who,
when asked to do SO, protested that
she could not lay the same egg twice.

The recent death of Lord Vantage
affords a curious example of how peer
ages die out. He was the first and
last of the line, though the title was
not conferred upon him in 1885 with
any idea of its being only life peer
age, for he was a very wealthy man.
Lord Vantage had no children. There
has been a great deal of talk lately
about model saloons that are run by
peers, but it was not generally known
that Lord Vantage was the first peer
to run an establishment of this kind.
He started a model inn in Arlington

system and gave the profits to local

The Syracuse IN. W Post Standard
says; THE propriety Of calling New
York the Empire State of the Union
has never been doubted, but here
comes the Savannah News with the
suggestion that Georgia be called the
Empire State of the South.
Georgia is entitled to great credit for
the progress her people have made
since the war, and she is entitled also
to whatever nickname her people may
choose. If they choose the phrase EN-
pire State of the South, New York
can have no objection. 1t will be the
duty of Georgia in that case TO be-
come without delay incomparably SUI
perior in wealth, population and en-
ergy TO the other states south OF the
line" If our esteemed contemporary
were as familiar with Georgia as II
should be, it would know that she has
been called the Empire State Of the
South for many years. by common con-
sent. not only within her own bor-
ders but from the Lakes TO the Gulf.
