Oppose to Change.

The following communication re-
speeding the dog law in this county
has been received at this office. The
communication was written by Mr..
John A. Sewers, of Oakland, who re-
quests its publication in these col
umns:
To the Editor OF The Republican.
| hope you will publish this note in
your paper in regard to the dog law
as now applied to our country.
If the people who own dogs would
take the proper care of the animals
by feeding them and giving them the
attention a good dog deserves there
would be no necessity to change the
existing law.
| am as much opposed to the kill
ing OF sheep by dogs as anyone and
this outrage on our farmers and
sheep owners could be averted if the
proper care were exercised by those
owning dogs.
! have owned dogs all by life and
| can't see how farmer could Get
along without at least one good ami
nal on his place

WHILE CHRISTMAS STARS SHINE

ThereH be rosy-cheeked children with dear
curly heads,
Tucked snugly away in pretty white beds.
With soft-linen sheets and dainty white
spreads
While Christmas stars shine.
There'n be silk stockings hung by ribbons
Of blue;
Theren be plenty Of toys and picture books
And a tree all glsten with every thing
While Christmas stars shine.
Therein be small hungry children with dear
tangled heads;
ThereTl be shivering babies in poor little
beds,
With no sheet at all, and no dainty white
spreads
While Christmas stars shine
There1l be no stockings hung by ribbons Of
blue;
There1l be no pretty tree and nothing quite
new;
There'il be poor mothers wondering what
they shall do
While Christmas stars shine.
Therell be mistletoe hanging high over
head:
There1l be bright shining ewes ana cheeks
blushing red;
There'n be sweet merry laughter ana whis-
pered words said
While Christmas stars shine.
There'n be angels just bearing a soul away;
There1l be angels just bringing babe to
stay
Till the Master shall call him away from
his play
While Christmas stars shine.
There'H be smiling ana weeping ana some
will sing,
There1l be meeting and parting and bells
will ring
With clamorous dingdon and solt ting-a-
ling

SEVEN THOUSAND DOGS.

The constables of Allegany county
have started out with dog-tax bills.
under instructions to bring back the
money or the dogs. 1t appears that
the citizens of AIlegany county decid-
ed, some time ago, that 1000 dogs are
too many for county, where sheep
rising is an important industry, and
they secured the passage of law i'm
posing a tax upon all dogs. The raid
upon the CANNES, already mentioned,
is the result of this law, and there
will be many yelps throughout the
mountain districts before the officers
make their final return.
Garrett county should have a SINH
lar law, because there are thousands
of worthless dogs here, and it has
been conclusiYely proven that sheep
raising would be pleasant and profit
able occupation in this county if there
were less danger from dogs.
There is another reason for enact
ing such law. Game birds have
become very scarce and many hun
ters have agreed to abandon the
sport for some years Since dogs
brighten the birds from the fields and
thickets, it would appear better pol
icy to exterminate the worthless dogs

MAY HAVE TO PAY CAR FARE.
Possibility Confronting Members of
the Legislature on the Pass Cues
tim

tlOE.
1t is probable that members of the
Maryland Legislature will have to
pay railroad fare for travelling to and
from Annapolis this winter. Here
tOfOre legislators have received passes
from the railroads, good during the
period the Legislature was in session.
The Pennsylvania railroad has an
nouuced that it will discontinue the
practice of issuing passes, and it is
sand that the b. & O. railroad will
likely follow its example. 1t is also
considered probable that the Western
Maryland railroad will adopt sim
liar course.
The state makes fairly liberal al
lowance for the payment of legisla-
tors travelling expenses, but hereto
fore legislators, with rare exceptions,
have travelled on passes and pocket
ed the mileage allowance, along with
the allowance for stationery.
Mr.. Aaron Z. Anders, one of the
members-elect of the Maryland Legis-
iature from Frederick county says he
will not accept a pass if it is rendered
to him. Soon after his election he
announced he would accept no favors
from the railroads, because he realiZ-
ed the. fact that the moment he ac-
cepted pass he was placing himself
erHobligatiOns to corporate influ-
ence, aud this was calculated to rob
him of his independence. He says he
has no thought of criticising others,
who usepasses, but for himself he pre-
fers to be free and independent. Mr..
Anders has bought thousand mile
ticket book over the Baltimore and
Ohiosroad, and when this is used he
says be still has S13 of the states
money to travel on.
The position of the Baltimore and
Ohio compay will be definitely de-
termined at an adjourned meeting of
the Trunk LiHe Association, in New
York. tomorrow.
a prominent executive officer of
the company expressed the opinion
that his company will join the Penn
sylvania, the Norfolk and Western
aud Lehigh Valley, which have al
ready abolished the pass system.
"Who. will be included in the list
to be deprived of passes?
Every body, except employees of
the several railroad companies"
Whom do you mean by every
body"
Judges, Senators, congressman,
members of the State Legislatures,
members Getty councils, all public

How about newspapers.

A number of the members of the
City Council haye asked this paper
to correct the report eminating
through the columns of one of our
local contemporaries wherein the state
ment was made that the Council will
ask the Legislature to enact law
increasing the cost of liquor license
from the present rate of $3.50 to $500.
The Council discussed this matter
informally but no action of any Off
cial nature was taken by the council
nor was the attorney instructed to

"Will this abolition of the pass sys-

Office holders and politicians, be per

1T most certainly will"
Then you DO not doubt your abili-
ty to make the new rule permanent
one?n
1--WE do not, if we enter it.
At the Offices of the Western Mary
land railroad it was said that the
pass question has not been considered
this year. In local railroad circles
the opinion seems to prevail that the
railroads which have announced their
position on the pass question will be
unable to entirely eliminate the prac-
tice of giving free transportation to
some individuals. Politicians and
Office holders will be the principal
ones affected by the order. Hereto
fore practically all of the railroads
have made it practice of giving fee
transportation to the holders of GER
tain political offices, and it is said
that these can be stricken from the
list. All of the roads will probably
continue the practice of furnishing
passes to employees and exchanging
them with officials of other roads.
