School Openings.

dong goes the school bell all
over the land. From the remote
corners of the rural districts
through the hamlets and will
ages on to the densely popu-
lated cities can be heard the
echoing and re-echoing OF the
call to books and the study
hall. The boys and girls have
hidden their pleasures long
farewell. The beaming, smll-
ing countenance has given
place to one of detection. The
young ladies and young men
having reached the age at
which they duly realize the
grave responsibilities that a
wait them later in life take
more seriously to the task.
Having put away childish
things-aims and ideals-they
seize and improve every op-
portunity of intellectual de-
velopnlent.
That parents realize more
keenly than ever the impor-
tance of educating their chill
dren is shown by the large en-
rollment of the country
schools, graded schools and
colleges. Parents have awak-
ened to the fact that no great
er legacy than that of a good
education can be left to their
children. Greater by far than
silver and gold, vast estates or
cattle upon a thousand hills.
One that moths nor rust can
corrupt nor thieves break
through and steal, May this
tidal wave of enthusiasm and
interest in the education of the
youth of the land continue, for
on this hangs the peace and
prosperity of OH country.
NORTH NOT AN ELDoRADo
OR A CANAAN.
Occurrences that have tran
|sspired frequently within the
last few years prove two
things beyond peradventure.
First, that the much boasted
friendship of the northern peo-
pie for the negro does not ex-
ist in fact. Second, that the
southern white people are the
only true friends of the color
ed race. The northerner who
is not on the spot and who
knows nothing of the real
condition of the negro delights
in moralizing and philosoph-
izing upon the race question.
There are a few who con-
tribute from their abundance
toward the improvement of
the race, but these are the eX-
ceptions and not the rule.
Many northerners clamor
for social equality and politi-
cal recognition for the negro
They preach this to others but
what do they practice A recent
dispatch from Illinois states
that 81 negro families, some
of them owning improved
farms, have been compelled
to sacrifice their property and
leave. There has been many
an exodus of negroes from
different sections of the south
always voluntary, however,
never at the point of the bay
onet.
In proportion to the number
of negroes who live in each
section there are more lynch

Tuesday last, the County Com
missioners met and signed the levy
list, imposing tax Of s. cents on
the 800 to meet the expenses OF the
county for the year ended May 3lst,
ultimo. While the rate is higher
than that Of last year II isnever the
less a good showing, and evidences
careful and painstaking financeer-
ing. The increase in the rate is
due 10 several causes, chief among
which is the allowance OF larger
levy for school purposes. The
School Commissioners required more
money to repair old school houses
and enable them to husband their
funds for keeping the schools open.
Two cents additional on each hun
dred dollars was levied for this
purpose. In the present levy the
salaries due the County Commission
ers are put in. Extra amounts had
to be levied this year to pay expen-
ses Of dividing the third election
district. $111S.63, road excess, had
TO be paid, and for public roads for
for the coming year, the 5000, re-
quired by law, was levied. Ii was
found that q larger surplus than
was levied last year, was required,
and $445.25 was put in this levy.
Some accounts omitted from last levy
are provided for in this. The hos
pital expenses of the county are
greater than they were last year,
more patients being in the different
asylums. We are indebted to the
clerk of the Board for these facts
and they account for and justify the
increased rate.

A ST. MARY's RAILROAD.

One hundred and twenty-five Ital-
ian laborers from Philadelphia and
other points northward left this
city last night on board the Weems
steamer Northumberland for For
rests wharf, on the Patuxent river,
in st. Mary's county. None of the
men could speak English, and to
interpreters declared they did not
know their exact destination or pre-
cisely what work they were to per-
form.
Behind this shipment Of laborers
TO Southern Maryland is, il is sur
missed by certain persons qualified
TO judge, n Baltimore and Ohio
scheme OF great significance.
II is believed the company intends
pushing line under an old charter
and by the purchase of the Wash
ingtOn and Potomac railroad-a short
line running from Brandywine, in
Prince George s county, to Mechan-
icsville, in st. Mary's county
through from Hyattsville TO Point
Lookout, ut the mouth of the Poto-
mac river.
Taking into consideration the
facts that along this route there is
scarcely village OF importance and
that Point Lookout itself is practi-
cally barren, but possesses deep
water, the inference is that the Bal
timore and Ohio contemplates the
construction of coal docks at the
Point.
1t is said there is 40 feet OF water
at Point Lookout, and this would
make it exceptionally valuable as
the location of docks for handling
export and sea shipment coal.
The plan to build q railroad from
Washington to Point Lookout is one
of long standing. The Washington
and Potomac road was built as q
part of such road, but before it's
completion its finances broke down.
1t has passed through various hands
since it was built, and it is now OPP
Grated on very small scale for local
business. 1t is said that II the
present company cannot buy the
road it viii parallel it. The new
line will approach near the Patux-
emit river opposite Solomon 5 Island.
and viii traverse country which
has norailroad within 40 or 80 miles.
Whenever there has been talk of
building road to Point Lookout il
has always been in connection with
the idea of establishing a shipping
port ut that place for coal.--SHn.

The inquiry into the connection of
the Sugar Trust witt the agitation
in favor of Cuban reciprocity, which
was instituted by Senator Teller's
resolution, has produced extensive
and, to the republicans, alarming
results. Mr.. +. b. Thurber, OF
New York, who had several times
been called before the Committee on
Relations with Cuba, finally made
his appearance and from him was
elected the statement that Mr..
Havemeyer, president of the Ameri-
can Sugar Refining Company, had
contributed 81, 500 to q fund used by
Mr. Thurber ito educate American
sentiment in favor of reciprocity"
and that General Wood, acting for
the Cuban government, had con-
tributed TO the same fund the sum
of $3.50. General Wood was oblig-
ed to admit the payment saying that
he had made il in accordance with
the wishes Of the Secretary of War
and Mr.. Havemeyer has made no
denial.

ne House of Representatives has
shown unusual Industry during the
past week and number of import
ant measures have been disposed Of.
After passing the bill for the profec-
ton Of the President last Monday the
Lacy bill was taken up and defeat
ed. The Pacific Cable bill, intro
duced and advocated by Mr.. Cor
liss, Of Michigan, was defeated and
on Friday the Hansbrough- Newlands
irrigation bill was passed. As-this
bill had already passed the Senate
and as such amendments as were in
dictated 10 be essential by the Presi-
dent were adopted, there is reason
TO believe that the Secretary of the
Interior win soon be in u position
to commence an extensive system OF
irrigation in the Grid West.
-.
The defeat Of the Lacey bill, which
provided for the transfer of the care
Of the Forest Reserves from the De-
partment of the Interior 70 the De-
partment of Agriculture, calls for
specialcomment becauseof the causes
which produced il. Representative
Cannon, by an insincere and mis-
leading speech, was responsible for
the adverse vote ON the message.
Mr.. Cannon led the members to be-
lieve that the administration of the
reserves by the Secretary of Agri-
culture would mean greatly increas-
ed expense to the government, an
assumption for which there was NO
ground. Mr.. Cannon did not men,
ton, however, that under the man
agement ofSecretary Hitchcock there
are employed several hundred ran
gers who are nominated by members
OF Congress and that of that number
eight are Mr.. Cannon s appointees.
Neither did Mr.. Cannon remember
to state that the rangers nominated
by congressman are generally bro
ken-down politicians who are noto-
riously incompetent and that the
earnestness with which President
Roosevelt advocated the Lacey bill
was due TO his belief that, under the
Secretary of Agriculture, o reform
would be worked and the incompe-
tent Congressional nominees would
be replaced by men who would re-
tain their positions only by the mer-
it with which they performed their
duties. 1t is generally admitted by
republicans as well as democrats,
that the Lacey bill was defeated by
the love of "spoils.
-.
Saturday in the House was devot-
ed to the pension calendar, today
will be occupied with the affairs oil
the District Of Columbia and tomor-
row will be taken up under a rule
which limits the debate to one week.
Ii Is believed that radical changes
will be made in the Lodge bill be-
fore it is passed and it is possible
that the House will pass it's own
measure and return it to the Senate
as substitute for the Lodge bill.

Acting upon the testimony of Mr..
Thurber, eighteen senator's, of whom
Mr.. Elkins is the leader, resolved
to contest the passage Of the Cuban
bill to the end and to notify the
democratic leaders that such was
their intention. The news of Mr..
Thurber's disclosures was tele-
graphed TO the President, then at
West Point, and he abandoned his
intention of spending a day with his
family at Oyster Bay and returned
to Washington Immediately and on
Friday sent special message to
Congress urging that body to pass
the Cuban reciprocity bill and Incl
dcntally mentioning that he could
not approve of the rebate scheme
put forth by the ''insurgent" sena-
tors. While Mr.. Roosevelt's state
ment is very fair exposition of his
views it does not appear to have
produced any marked impression
upon bis opponents in the Senate
and the question of Cuban recipro-
city is as far from settlement as
ever.
