Tomorrow will be jackson Day.
and it is not the anniversary OF his
birth or death, but of his victory over
the British in the Battle Of New Or
leans. It has become the occasion for
the gathering of the Democratic hosts
and all over the country will they
meet and sing the praises of him who
did so much to make the Democratic
party, and who the Baltimore Sun"
when it announced his death in 1S45
said was one of the most pure and
honest minded patriots that has lived
since the days of Washington"
We trust that the Democrats who
attend these meetings will leave fill
ed with the uncompromising spirit Of
this hero If they do they will be
true to the principles of our party,
and we will thus be enabled to take
advantage of the opportunity offered
by the righteousness of the trusts
and the subserviency of the Republi-
can party to all their demands.

THE COUNTY PAPER.

Ignorance of many things can be
excused i'm this age of desperate light
ing for living, but lack OF knoWl-
edge of what is happening in our
county is inexcusab1e, for we can all
afford a local paper. From AZ W. VIII
learn what Is being done by the Coun-
ty Commissioners, what property Is
being transferred, whose estates are
being settled, in fact, will be in touch
with what is going on around us with
those things in which we are directly
interested. al a channel OF informa-
ton II is most important to the busy
business man, or the laborer, as IL
comes at the end Of the week and on
any one day OF rest can be read ana
enjoyed.
And so every family in Carroll
county, that does not get local Pa
per. should subscribe TO one. NO
matter which paper it may be, it IS
the duty of every man to see that at
least one local paper comes into ms
home. and then to read it. He owes
this to the county, as citizen, to De
enlightened on public affairs and All
a father, for the education OF his chill
dren. Let one of the New Years res
o1utions be, to keep apprized cf coun-
ty affairs BY reading weekly our local
paper. If you do not get one, become
a subscriber now. And when II az
rives, read it, and in short time you
will find yourself becoming more IN
terested in your county, will become
a better citizen and wonder how you
previously did without It, And later
YOU will experience deep disappolnt-
ment when upon rare occasions the

STATE CARE OF THE INDECENT
INSANE,

This is a subject that will be taken
nm by the legislature, and demands
most careful consideration the pup
lie sentiment Of the etate will endorse
the enactment of legislation to put
this sentiment into effect
It IL a shame to the state, tnat
there are any poor unfortunates ol
this class, huddled, and without
nroper care, i'm the Almshouses OF
some of the counties Of the state
Fortunately, and we say it with price,
Carroll county il free from this dis
grace. and has received the common
dation of the Secretary of the State
Lunacy Board.
The legislature will be required 10
act wisely in this matter, and not go
half way about it. Its schemes shoulo
comprehend all the INDECENT insane
in the state, white and colored.
For the colored insane, there should
be built a separate hospital, located
we should say, somewhere i'm South
ern Maryland or on the Eastern
Shore, where those of this class OF our
population are most numerous.
This is not a party question and the
best heads of both parties in the legis-
lature should be put together, to work
out the most feasible plan to accom-
plish this most important object.

GOOD ROADS AND A COUNTY FAIR

The directors of the Merchants and
Manufacturers Association Of West
minister, held their regular meeting
this week. Two matters Of import
ance were discussed, and the policy
of the Association determined in ref
erence to them, according to the &C
count of the meeting appearing else
where. There subjects are of such
importance to the people of Carroll
county, that we feel compelled to no
tice them, for they deal with the e4-
penditure of the money Carroll county
is entitled to for State Roads, and the
holding of County Fair.
The fact that no one Is, apparently,
looking out after the interest of the
county in the expenditure of its share
OF the State Roads Loan" IL well
known. 1t is not, Of course, the duty OF
any individual or official to assume
the responsibility of doing 20. it l.
a matter for all the people to take up
and delegate the power to some one.
The idea that this duty should be
borne by the County Commissioners
is most wise and practicable, and we
are confident will be gladly assumed
by them, If it il the wish of the peo-
pie. The great difficulty, in all public
matters, is to have some one take the
lead, and the actions of the Associa-
ton, i'm expressing its views, and call
ing a meeting for next Saturday, Jan
uary Is, at 1 o'clock, is certainly to
be commended. III will, of course, be
largely attended and full expression
will then be obtained of the views Of
the people.
And we also heartily commend it,
action in appointing committee to
cooperate with the committees of the
Oranges of the county, in an effort
to secure a County Fair. Carroll
County is about, if not, in fact, the
richest agricultural county in the
State. The farmers are entitled to
have fair of their own, and with
proper support they will make it go.
The start towards good roads and
having a County Fair, make two
bright and promising hopes for the
coming year.

PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION

Many subjects of Importance will
come before the legislature during the
session which opened on Wednesday
last But there will be no single sub
ject Of greater Importance than the
enactment of law creating Public
Utilities Commission.
While many of the states have such
commissions, it will be new to Mary
land.
The scope of the work of such a
commission, will be to see that the
Public Service Corporations, acting
under our laws, are conducting their
affairs i'm accordance with such laws.
And to see that the people are re-
ceiving the service to which they are
entitled from these corporations.
The legislature of the state now has
the power to do all this, but any one
at all familiar with the work of the
General Assembly will realize the
difficulty, If not the impossibility Of
this large and unweildly body, intel
ligently doing this work
Hence, in many OF the states, as we
have said, such commissions have
been created.
III IL a fact also, that our legislature
being in session only 80 days in each
two years, such delay might be occas-
Toned in settling questions, under our
present arrangement, which could DC
promptly adjusted by the commission
which will have continuous exis.
tence. q commission of carefully
selected men, such Gs the Governor
would unquestionably choose, cal
certainly do this work, in manner
much more satisfactory and efficien
than it could possibly be done, durin,
legislative session, by that body.
While such commission will b.
guarantee to the people that thei
rights will be protected, it will ais
BE- a protection to the Public Servic
Corporations themselves, against un
warranted attacks upon them, an
such unfriendly legislation, IS some
times finds it, way into legislativ
halls In the bell-ringer bills wnic
are introduced there.
90 that W. think from every poir
Oh view, such commission will b.
valuable adjunct to our state govern
ment But it must be general, cover
ing every Public Service Corporate
in the state.
The Democratic party is pledge
through its platform, 10 tn creatio
on such commission. and there H. r
doubt it will be done.

PLEADS VETERANS
CAUSE TO RETAIN
PENSION AGENCIES
Congressman Kinkead Says Men
Who Saved Union De-
serve Consideration.
Especial to the Newark star.l.

WASHINGTON, March 26.-When
the pension appropriation bill comes up
every ear in the House there is al
ways a fight made to abolish the pen
sion agencies which are located in diff
ferent parts of the country. Many n
gressmen speak in favor of the plan u
do away with the agencies, while others
tell of the unselfsh devotion of the Old
soldier and declare that it would work
a hardship upon the veterans to dis
pense with the agencies. In this man
ner a lot of material is placed in the
Congressional Record that serves for
distribution in the districts Of the con-
gressmen, and incidentally some of these
speeches make excellent campaign ma
terial, particularly in interesting the
old soldiers.
Representative fKinkead, of Jersey
City, made a very good speech in favor
of the retention of the agencies. In
part he said:
Il have situated in my district a SOL
diers' home (Kearny) where more than
600 old soldiers are located, and there

are convenienced by the agencies at
New York and Philadelphia.
THE brave men who considered no
sacrifice too great, no burden too heavy,
and who We're aver ready to lay down
their lives, if necessary, to preserve the
integrity of the nation are entitled to
this convenience at our hands. We
should make the distribution of PEN
sions as simple inc as convenient as
possible for these men who in their
youth served this country with honor
and devotion and are now bowed down
with age n in many instances Grip
pied as a result of their army service.
These men are entitled now to any
consideration this nation can give
them, and the retention of the agencies
is one way that it can be done. When
a mistake is made or a misunderstood
ing has arisen the soldiers in my dis
trict have always found it convenient
to call at the agency at New York
where invariably they have been able
to clear matters fully and to their en-
tire satisfaction.
"By all means let US not deny these
conveniences TO the survivors of the
valiant defenders of the union. Ny
third reason for hoping the amendment
will prevail is a sentimental one. but a
reason which should have great weight
