COL. RUSSELL'S TRIBUTE TO
MR.. GORMAN.

Col. E. L. Russell, writing of his i'm
pressions of Senator German, after a very
interesting conversation with him in
Washington, says in a personal letter to
the editor of the Mobile (Ala.) Register:
1 do not know of a more agreeable man
and vet he is always clear. headed and
accurate in his statement of facts and
accurate in estimating the power of his
own side and the power of his opponents.
He leaves nothing to chance; he careful
ly prepares for every act he proposes to
to take. This makes him a safe and
sound leader. He will know, before he
starts to advance, whether there is any
gulch or %quicksand in his front, conse-
quently, he never leads his followers into
unknown and dangerous territory. This
is a time when every Democrat should
lay aside all of his personal and politi-
cal likes and dislikes and cooperate with
his Democratic neighbor in the pursuit of
a policy as to men and measures that will
bring success. The country needs a wise,
sagacious and conservative administration
of our federal affairs. We do not want
conservatism that means timidity, but
conservatism that follows the path of
wisdom and prudence and patriotism.
We must have frmness, but it must not
be allowed to conduct US into the plane
of obstinacy and obstruction.

never sulked in his tent, not even in
1892 when he was denied the United
States Senatorship though he had the
honor within his grasp. AS Cover
nor he has put none except Demo
Gratis on guard, but always the best
Democrats he could find, citizens noted
for their honesty, intelligence and
public spirit. The result has been
four years of material progress is every
part of the state. In every county
there has been marked advancement.
Baltimore is enjoying unparalleled
prosperity. There have been four
years of peace and con.entment, OF
quiet and orderly government.
Economy has marked every branch
of the government. Official extrava-
gance has been banished. There have
been no political scandals. The state
debt has been practically wiped out.
If Governor Smiths administration
had been a failure, if be had not been
true to his party promises, if his con-
duct of public affairs had been such as
to bring reproach upon the Demo
cracy Maryland would again have
been relegated to the Republican
column. Williams would have swept
the state by a tremendous majority
and in January a Republican legisla-
ture would meet at Annapolis, to re-
elect United States Senator McComas.
Such are the fruits of Governor
Smiths administration. A harmon
ious party, the disappearance of fac
tions, a reunited Democracy, and the
rescue of Maryland from the perils of
Republican domination. Governor
Smith is q modest man. There is no
buster about him. He has never
boosted. He has never plumed him
Scll uDOll Iuc dC~ulcNcuuclJGS We nave
herein set forth. But who can gain
say them? Who can successfully
challenge them?
John Walter Smith is a man of
conspicuous intellectual endowments.
He is not an oratorical peacock, but
he is a strong, logical, forceful de-
batter. He is we'll qualified to legsi-
late on the momentous issues of the
day. AS a member of the United
States Senate he will be an honor 70
the whole people of Maryland. As
a Democratic member Of that body
he will be a tower of strength to the
Democracy of this State and Of the
Union.
In comforting upon him this we'll
merited honor the Legislature of
Maryland will honor itself.

1 beg leave to submit the following re-
port of the finances of the School Board
for the year ending August 1, 1908.
1t will be noted that in addition to the
ordinary expenses of the white schools
the cost of two new school houses had to
be paid out of the general fund for sup
port of schools. One of these was the
house at Magruder's Station in Kent dis
trict which was burned in the spring of
1902, and the other was the new school
house recently erected in Piscataway dis
trict. The insurance on the school in
Kent district was accounted for in last
years report and the only money avail
able for building the new school in Pts
Getaway was 800 received from the sale
Of the old school house and lot.
The note with interest due the Lebrandt,
Mcdowell Stove Company, amounting to
$3.50 90, has also been paid
A large sum was expended in repairs,
and the cost of wood stoves added a con
siderable amount to the outlay for new
furniture.
In order to meet the demands upon the
treasury the sum of $4,000 was borrowed
from the Lu.ztns' National Bank of Lau
rel, of which amount the sun of $4,000
has been repaid, leaving a balance now
due on last years operations of So 800.
The sale of the lot and building in Lau-
rel, formerly used for School No. 1, will
place at the disposal of the Board 81, 500
or $4,000.
The County Commissioners levied last
spring So. 1000 more than they did the pre-
vious year, and I think with economy it
will be possible to run the schools next
year without mourning any additional
debt whatever.
One fifth Of the Bonds issued to build
the Laurel High School, amounting to
81, 900, were paid and cancelled when they
became due in May last. No more will
be due for 5 years.
In consequence of a decision of the
Court of Appeals the amount apportioned
by the Comptroller for colored schools in
this county was 81, 705. 66 less than it was
the previous year, while the cost of run
ming the increased number of schools was
$441.61 more than the previous year.
This made it necessary to borrow from
the First National Bank of Southern
Maryland an amount sufficient to meet
this deficiency.
The next Legislature will, doubtless,
take some action to remedy the injustice
of the present distribution of the fund for
colored schools in the State, and it may
be possible, as it is desirable, to continue
the excellent educational facilities afford
ed the colored people in this county.
Very respectfully,
FREDERICK SASSCER,
Secretary, Treasurer and Examiner.
