MIDLAND JOURNAL.

EDITORS MIDLAND JOURNAL
y In your issue of March % there appears
in your editorial columns scathing re-
view of the called meeting at Calvert in
the interest of improved roads. Now, let
me say first, it is a gross perversioa of
facts, an insult to the intelligence of those
forming three-fourths of that meeting.
Now we purpose to set forth the facts in
brief: A self.constituted committee of
ssMany Citizens notified the citizens
generally of the 9th Election District of
said meeting and its purpose. A gather
ing of nearly fifty assembled at Mechanics
Hall and was duly organized at p. m.
An elaborate address, setting forth the
comparative merits of the two roads, was
made by one of MANY Citizens" which
of necessity made choice between the
rival roads the only question at issue.
Our esteemed but misguided Citizen failed
to convince the assembled audience that
it was practicable to drive five miles to a
given point when we could reach it in
four, and with less grades, and conse-
quently less cost.
Now, if the expectation was to build
this rainbow road this year and in perhaps
couple of years the other, there might
be some show of justice in the claim.
But what are the conditions The State
Road Law quotes our mileage in Cecil
county at 638 miles; our county author
tiles claim 66S miles. We have at the
disposal of the improved scheme approx
mately $I8, 900 to $40, 900 yearly, which
will build four miles of road per year.
Thus it would take I5o years to complete
the county and as most of us think this
too long to wait, we think it of the
utmost importance to first improve the
important roads.
A vote of those in attendance resulted
in II in favor of the Pennington road and
26 against, or in favor of the direct line to
Rising Sun. This in brief is the history
of action of this large majority, which has
called down upon their heads nearly every
imprecation known in our language, to
distinguish them from intelligent citizens.
But for the comfort of MANY Citizens
let me state this action in no way bars
them from going before our County Com.
missioners with guarantee bond pledg.
ing one-tenth the entire cost of said road
The law makes it mandatory for the Com.
missioners to apply for the State aid and
to proceed to have survey and preliminary
arrangements concluded, provided some
other part of the county does not present
equal or superior claims.
Yours truly,
ALLEGED OBsrRUcTIoNIsT.

In the desperation to keep Rock Is
land from winning the pennant and TO
discredit this city as a baseball town,
some OF the southern newspapers are
making themselves Ridiculous. The
Peoria Star says. The Peoria PLAYERS
are unanimous in agreeing that; Rock
Island is fast becoming a disgface to
the league by the rowdv tactics, there
and that all deuials of this fact by the
newspapers there will fail to convince
the other members. Although Peoria
| lost two games at Rock Island they
say that the work Of Umpire Daub was
| eminently fair and that the vicious de-
Iuunciation of him for calling 4 man
safe ut second was entirely uncalled
for. He was safe by four feet, accord
ing to the Peoria players. The fecision
was followed by a vollcy Of pop bottles
and missiles. one bottle striking the
center of the diamond. Had il struck
| the umpire or player on the head, the
blow might have proved fatal" Every
body here knows that Daub was offered
DO actual violence. whereas il; he had
done 10 Peoria i'm that city as he did to
Rock Island here, he would have gotten

that one bottle was thrown at the end
