not depend upon Census Bulletin No.
% and the Standard Dictionary alone
but every standard authority shows
that as regards the stated area of the
two counties your abstract is incor-
rect. The abstract says area of Fred
erick county is 662 square miles: that
the area of Garrett county is $50
square miles. Census bulletin to
which you refer gives area of Garrett
county at $50 and Frederick county
663 square miles. The Standard Die
tionary gives same area.
II also refer you to page 30 The
Natural and Industrial Resources of
Maryland by Phillip Scharf, Com
missioner of Land Office. There you
will find area of Frederick county is
given at 633 square miles and on page
81 area of Garrett county is given at
$50 square miles. You refer to map
of Garrett county issued by the Mary
land Geological Survey. l call your
attention to the report upon that sur
vey which places the area of Garrett
county at 6S1 square miles. Frederick
county, therefore, is not the largest
county in Maryland but Garrett is,
being, according to all standard au-
thorities placed, AZ miles larger than
Frederick, except the late Geological
Survey, which makes it As square
miles larger than Frederick county.
You are waiting, according to your
letter, until the Maryland Geological
Survey makes a complete map of the
State before you correct the error.
1t looks to me, if you will permit me
to say so, that it would be better to
make correction of this error at once.

THE SANE GORMAN.

A. p. German takes his seat in the
United States Senate. A. P. German?
1t seems to US that we have heard
that name before-A. p. German?
Is that not the same German that
the Reform Democrats of Maryland
rose up in their might and smote in
the face as being unworthy of their
confidence and unfit to represent
them in the Senate? Pull down the
files of the Baltimore Sun for the
years 1895 and 1897. That is Demo
cratic organ. Behold, we see the
past record of Mr.. German held up to
public gael 1t is dark. 1t is shame
full to look upon! Does the sam blush
now whilst singing the praises of A.
P. German? No! The question is, has
the Sun degenerated or has German
degenerated? German has not reform
ed, for his last great o. act was to
steal the State of Maryland. 1t was
easy for German. He just had his
henchmen amend the election law,
inst1tuting the Chinese Puzzle Ballot,
let the followers of the Ring, and no
one else, into the secret of the puzzle
and the State was his. Seven min.
utes to solve a ballot like this was
sprung on the Republican voters in
some of the counties in this State by
L. T.. Il. l l.
est and most disgraceful fraud that
has ever been perpetrated in any
State, and the voters of Maryland
should rise up en-masse and elect a
full State ticket next fall so that the
way will be clear to stamp out for
ever disgraceful law, passed solely
to thwart the will of the people at
the polls.

DEAR SIR:-I beg to acknowledge
the receipt of your favor of February
9th and note what you say in regard
to the area of Garrett and Frederick
counties. The areas given in the Alb
stract of the Twelfth Census were
computed by planimeter measure
ments from the United States post
route map, on which the two counties
referred to, Frederick and Garrett,
are shown to be practically the same
size. The areas, of course, of each of
these counties are only approximately
correct, owing to the difficulty of OBJ
tanning a map showing the counties
on large scale. The area to which
you refer as given in the Standard
Dictionary was taken from the census
of 1890, as shown in Bulletin No. %.
1.-The Maryland Geological Survey
has issued a map of Garrett county
on large scale and as soon as they
complete the map for the entire State
we will be able to compute the areas
of each of the counties more correctly.
You will readily understand that, in
computing the areas of counties in a
State, it is necessary for us to COM
pute them all from one map, other
wise the total area could not be ad-
justed to agree with the total area of
the State as obtained from other
measurements.

DEAR SIR:-I am in receipt of

which called your attention to error
in Abstract of Census relative to areas

Il believe you want to give the peo-
pie census report as nearly correct
as possible. In this laudable desire |
want to assist you in regard to the
point in question. l have carefully
read your letter and replying thereto
l want to say chat every standard

regards the question before us. You
say The area to which you % refer as
given by the STANDARD Dictionary
was taken from the census of 1890 as
shown in Bulletin No. 49, | do not
think you intend to intimate that the
census bulletin to which you refer
was incorrect and yet from the Ian
guage used we must so conclude. If
the bulletin named'is not correct then
it was the cause of the great Standard
Dictionary being incorrect and we
see at once the Importance of ma king
correction in Abstract of Census in
the matter to which l refer, namely,
area of the two counties named
Then, again, if the census bulletin is
to which you refer is correct it follows
that the Standard Dictionary is also
