Necker, 18th District.-The Cars great
army of grand dukes is marching over the
Belair road to Havre-de- Grace, and although
the farmers need help badly they will not
switch off for steady job. All their talk is,
"How far is it to Havrede- Grace~ There
will be good many moons before the process
sion is over. A day or two ago the flying bat
TALON was under Major Beatty. who pushed
ahead to get first chance on grub and roosts:
There were numerous inquiries about him and
when told that he had passed half hour ago
they sat down in the shade in despair. Hun
garians three days landed want $l8 a month

rent and fuel.
Rumors are once more afoat to the effect
that the United Railways Company is about to
extend its tracks from the present terminus on
the Belair road to Silver Spring farm. or per-
haps to Germantown. Three enterprising citi-
zens have volunteered $500 each, if the other
$500 is collected, for the grading of Putty Hill
in the hope that this would facilitate the work.
To make this extension could not help but
prove great investment for the company,
even with single track to Germantown. The
travel on this end of the line would soon be
heavy. st. Joseph's Church alone drawing

the time in the Philippine Islands and he was
not especially pleased with his service there.
He says the natives are on the order of the
American Indians-not fond of work, but
always ready to gamble; they are always a
puzzle and one cannot depend on their friend

Mr.. Gavin says that Uncle Sam has already
done tremendous work along many lines.

Meeting or the ScnoOl boar0. - Inc
School Board held a meeting at TowsOn on
Wednesday, with the president, Mr. Thomas
B. Todd, in the chair, and Prof. A. s. Cook,
secretary.
A committee of teachers composed of one
principal from each district, (the names of the
committee have heretofore been published in
the The UNroN,) appeared before the Board
and asked if it would be willing to increase
teachers salaries according to their judgment
provided the County Commissioners would
give an increased amount for running expenses
The Board assured the committee that it
would be willing to comply with the request as
to higher salaries under the conditions named.
The committee then decided to go to the Court
House and present their claims to the County
Commissioners. The Board listened attentive
ly to three speakers on behalf of the teachers
Messrs. Blair, Mosner and Comegys. 1t was
strongly urged by the speakers that the cost of
living was much more now than it had been
for fifteen years, that all kinds of commodities
were much higher, yet there had not been in
all that time any increase of teachers salaries,
except in one single instance. 1t had been
said, Mr.. Mosner stated, that the amount levied
for running expenses was going to be cut down
as much as the county would receive from the
increased appropriation from the State. This,
he argued would work hardship upon the
teachers and defeat the real object of making
the increase.
Mr.. Yellott assured the committee that the
Commissioners were going 10 levy as large
amount for school purposes as possible and
would give as literally as the county will
stand.
Subsequently the County Commissioners had
a conference with the School Board in the Of
flee of the latter as to the amount necessary to
be appropriated for schools including running
expenses and buildings.
The Board notified the County Commission
ers that it wanted $175,OOO for running ex-
penses, which is S., 900 more than was given
last year. The County Commissioners agreed
to appropriate S173, 900 for this year.
For building purposes the School Board asked
fore $4,000 and the County Commissioners
agreed to levy $4,000. Following is a list of
the items the School Board wants this
year Highlandtown, S11 900; Catonsville
heating plant, 1880; Gainesville colored
schbol $3.50; heating plant and finishing high
school, 81, 600; consolidated school building at
Butler flour schools in oue,) $4,000; remodel
ingISnnny brook, $500; new school and lot to
consolidate three schools without transporta-
grading at Roland Park, $500; HohmaDville
$500; Garrison, $780, Cronhardt, $500 |;
Roekland, 81, 500; 9th district, general repairs,
$1,000. Total, S36, 800.

German sounds the Alarm.

Senator German has ordered the tom-toms
to be beaten, the alarm to be sounded and all
the forces Of Maryland Democracy set in the
field TO fight the terrible spector Of negro dom
ination. The fear that the negroes. consti-
tuting less than one-fifth Of the population.
will in some way come to dominate the million
whites, grind them to powder and set up
reign of debauchery and misrule so affects the
mind of the Senator that he cannot sleep o.
nights. He trembles at the thought OF hls own
knee in suppliance bent before some dusky dc
tator. He will make any sacrifice to escape
this plague. He even offers to retire from pol
itics If only he can be assured that negro may
not rule over him at Annapolis.
The truth il that German Is in q desperate
situation His attempt to foist the grand
father clause on the State 10 not promising
well. He expects defeat unless be can raise , .
terrible bugabOo about negro domination. Inc
negroes have lust about as much chance OF
ever dominating Maryland as have the descen-
dants of the Indians who lived there when
First Lord Baltimore began his scheme OF coli
onization. The trouble is not only that the
people will not have false issue thrust upon
them. but they will not rise up 70 support
German. In the last senatorial election be was
badly worsted in choosing colleague. He
seems to have lost his grip on his party and
this leads him to exhibitions OF demagogy
which are depressing.
Senator German is man OF marked ability,
conservative Democrat, who has done the
country much service. He rises far above the
intellectual level of most of his party associates
while be is broader in his vision. Ii is with
pain that we see man who really has marks
of greatness stoop to political tricks which are
transparent, puerile, and. we believe, utterly
inefficient.

COMMENTING ON the platform adopted by the
Democratic convention in Baltimore last week
Mr.. Charles J. Bonaparte said: "Now it is
simply trihing with a serious subject to pretend
that the source of this platform commands
confidence It comes from the very men who
in 1875 and repeatedly during the years which
followed falsiied or attempted to falsify the
peoples will at the polls, who once gave us
Governor and more than once gave as a Mayor
we had not elected, who are universally
believed to have instigated and are known to
have profited by gross frauds at the polls and
shameless perjury by election officers. They
tell us in substance that this amendment,
whatever it may seem on its face is really adj
vice to nullify and violate with impunity
part of the Federal Constitution and nothing
more. These men who say this have again
and again sworn in the most emphatic and
solemn words to uphold that Contribution"
The Governor referred to above by Mr.. Bona
parte is no less parsonage than Mr. John Lee
Carroll. the very man who presided at last
weeks convention and who made speech
violently denouncing the Republicans of
Maryland.

THE REPUBLICAN State convention which re-
assembled in Baltimore on Wednesday night
was presided over by Hon. Charles ]. Bona
parte. who made very strong speech against
the proposed Poe amendment and unmerci-
fully scored the Democratic managers. The
convention unanimously nominated for Comp
troller of Treasury Hon. Henry Mitchell Nc.
Cullough, of Cecil county, and the selection is
unquestionably very strong one. The nom-
inee was born at Elkton in 1858. His father,
James T. Mccullough, was prominent mem
Der of the Cecil bar, and represented his county
in the Senate in 1855. His mother was
daughter Of Col. George E. Mitchell, who serv-
ed with distinction in the United States Army
in the War of 1872. and who was member of
Congress for three terms. Mr.. Mccullough
acquired his education at the Elkton Academy
and at Princeton. He read law under his
father and was admitted to the bar in 1881.
In 1900 he was elected one of the Presidential
electors at large by the Republican party. In
1901 he was elected to the State Senate, defeat
ing Senator Crowthers, who was candidate
for reelection.

Dream Reveals Hiding Place
Letter from Hagerstoacm.

J
Mr.. Richard ]. Hamilton, well known
newspaper man of Hagerstown, several months
ago lost pair of eyeglasses on Oak Hill farm,
the country place of the late Gov. VIM. T.
Hamilton. The glasses were searched for in
vain and, as the prescription was destroyed at
the time of the Baltimore fire, Mr.. Hamilton
was planning to make trip to Baltimore for

sister, Miss Julia H. Hamilton, had dream,
in which she saw her brothers glasses lying in
the midst of large myrtle bed under great
oak some distance from the mansion house.
Bright and early next morning Miss Hamilton
made her way to the place where she had seen
the glasses in her dream and found them at
the identical spot where the dream had placed

Baltimore city Rapidly Advancing.

The increase of the taxable basis of Baiti-
more s57, 100000 in the past two years shows
how progressive our city is. The fire did not
ruin US. 1t rather stimulated our people and
brought outside capital in to help our develop
ment Last year the increase of taxable basis
was $40. 600, 900, to the surprise of many peo-
pie. but this year the increase is $37, 0000O the
growth being at an increasing rate. Not only
is the Burnt District transformed, but the ad-
iacent areas have been improved. Vacant
lots are being built up with improved struc-
lures and old buildings are being replaced.
The suburban area is being rapidly improved,
thanks to the facility given by the electric and
steam railways. There is every day more
manufacturing, more trade and more bust
ness. which means more population and more
houses to accommodate the people and their
enterprises
