The Prince Has Gone.


Prince Henry sailed for home on Tuesday,
after stay in the United States Of sixteen
days. While here he travelled through thlr-
teen States, was given receptions by State
and municipal authorities, dined with the Pres
ident and met Booker T. Washington, as well
as attending two dinners at private houses IN
New York. His visit, though it was an OFF,
cial one as the representative of his brother,
the King Of Germany, and cost the United
States Government about $40, 900, he says
was without any special significance. Per-
haps it was, but it was generally believed that
it was intended to create closer friendship
between the two peoples. The Prince was no
doubt impressed with the vastness of the
United States as compared with Germany
He must have been impressed, also, with our
great cities, their handsome public buildings
and the freedom of the people. We feel as
sured he will not forget the democratic recep-
ton by Gov. Van SAINT, of Minnesota. Van
SAINT is Republican in politics but thoroughly
democratic in manner He Familiarity addressed
his Royal Highness as Prince and Hen

up and be presented to his staff the Governor

Partisanship Run Mad.

One ofthe objects in having State enum-
GRAFTON Of inhabitants was to have an equitable
distribution of school funds. 1t was shown
bv the government in the prosecution of the
Federal census takers, that the census lists
were padded in St. Mary's, Charles, Prince
Georges and Anne Arundel counties, and
yet in spite Of this legally proven fact the
Republicans of the Legislature, aided by
Straus, Of Baltimore, and the alleged Demo-
Gratis Of Anne Arundel county, deliberately
killed bill to appropriate money to pay for
going over the State census returns and ascer-
tanning the population of school aid. ms Is
not partisan matter. It is not one of the
alleged schemes Of the managers the obstrep-
erous Straus pirates SO much about. i is one
in which the whole people of the State are IN
terested. The people in the counties where
the Federal census lists were padded do not
want more than fair share of the school
funds, and no other county wants to be de-
priyed of its just share. Unless another bill
can be passed the Comptroller must accept the
figures Of the Federal census, and the school
fund for ten years must be anportioned I'M
eoually to the counties of the State. Dorches-
ter will lose, because the State census gives
hsf a larger population than the Federal Gen.
sus. and so will Baltimore City and county,
while Kent, Anne Arundel, Prince Georges,
Charles and ST. Mary's will gain by reason Of
the fraudulent Federal census. And the gain
of these counties must be at the expense OF
Carroll and other counties. In fact the whole
State will be affected by distribution of the
School funds under the Federal census. The
action of Straus and the Republicans is par
tisanship run mad, and for it those response
BILE will have to answer to their constituents.
