1910, according to everybodys admis-
sion. there was only $1,000 to the
credit OF the Sinking Fund On June
2Ist, 1910, the County Commissioners
held their meeting, Prior to that
meeting, in front Of the Court House
and in perfectly public way, the
WHIG'S editor told two of the Com
missioners that if provision was not
promptly made for the proper deposit
to the credit of the Sinking Fund, then
some of the taxpayers proposed to
ask the Court for mandamus, com
pelling such deposit. This, mark you,
was on the morning OF June 2Ist, and
on June 22nd, the next day, the Com
missioners had $8I42.5o deposited to
the credit OF the Sinking Fund and
certificate No $500 from the Ma
tional Bank of Elkton for the amount
bears date of June ~, 1910. That
story will show how conscientious the
Democrat has been in its editorial on
this subject. The editorial states some
facts with accuracy, but it omits to
state the dates connected Herewith,
which show that the $8,I42.5o WAS
NOT DEPOSITED TO THE
CREDIT OF THE SINKING FUND
UNTIL A FEW DAYS AGO, AND
ONLY AFTER THE WHIGS EDI-
TOR HAD SPOKEN PLAINLY
AND EMPHATICALLY ABOUT
THE NATTER, as he or any other
taxpayer OF the county had perfect
right to do. The Commissioners have
also levied $4,000 for the Sinking
Fund for the present year, and Mr..
Terrell of the Treasurer's office tells
us he proposes to see that it is de-
posted so soon as the taxes begin to
come in in August This is itself an
acknowledged OF the fact that we
were perfectly justified in our former
criticism, and that some good has al
ready come from that criticism. 1t
was a perfectly just and a perfectly
dignified criticism, and one which the
Commissioners needed to awake them
to do their duty in the premises. The
mere fact that the Democrat goes off
into one OF its usual TRADES does not
diminish our qualification at having
accomplished our purpose in getting
this Sinking Fund property cared for.
The Democrat may not appreciate. our
utterance, neither may the Commits
sioners Gust now; but every thought
full and fair-minded taxpayer will con-
cede that just such honest criticism
of public offices is what the people are
entitled to- A subsidized local press

JUST A PLAIN NARRATIVE, WITH
DATES

r T is earnestly hoped that the edi-
tor OF the Cecil Democrat is
more accurate and conscientiJu;
in the performance OF his duties as
State Auditor (whatever they may bc)
than he has shown himself to be, upon
several occasions in the discussion OF
the affairs of certain County offices.
We understand OF course. that it is
worth thousands OF dollars, N the form
OF pap or oihce-holding to the cdi-
tor OF the Democrat to keep himself
in entire favor with the powers that
be-" at most any cost. But he must
not expect the public which has no
such bias from feeding at the crib,
to follow him in his peculiar and pal
pably misleading statements. 1t IS al
ways easy to drive coach and four
through the reasoning OF man who
is trying to deceive. 1t is especially
easy to do so with the Democrats edi
torial OF last week on the sinking
Fund Before doing so, let us tell
the Democrat, ii it wants to know
"where we got our data" that We got
il from the County Treasurer, and a
number OF prominent taxpayers of
the county heard it given to us, as
they had perfect right to do On
Saturday, June 18th, 1910 (notice the
dates, please). we asked the County
Treasurer how much money the
County had deposited to the Sinking
Fund He told us $1,000. We asked
him if the County Commissioners had
not levied $1,000 more for that fund
last year. He said they had, BUT
THEY HAD NOT PUT 1T IN THE
SINKING FUND. In other words,
they had LEVIED it for that pur-
pose, but had not USED it for that
purpose We thereupon wrote our
editorial for our issue OF June rs, 1910,
saying that only $1,000 was to the
credit OF the Sinking Fund, although
the law was passed in the winter of
1908 (more than two years previously
and bonds had been issued and work
done to the amount of $4,000 in the
intervening time. Were we making
wild and hystercal allegations" or
were we stating the facts as they stood
on June IS, 1910?
Now, let us go on with the story
and see how a plain narrative can put
to confusion n special advocate who
is stating only "half-truths." In It's
editorial OF July 2, 1910, the Demo
crat says, with much pompous appear
ance OF exactness and detail that
there is on dpeosit in the National
Bank OF Elkton to the credit OF thia
Sinking Fund the sum of $II,I42 so,
and the certificate of that Bank No
2s7oo in the safe OF the Commissi IN
ers proves it"
We are not going to question that
statement. 1t, is perfectly true-SO
FAR AS IT GOES. But the Demo-
crct is careful to suppress DATES,
and therein lies the very gist of the
matter. Let us see. On June 18th,

MutinouS Battalion Loses
More Than 200 Killed
SIX HUNDRED CAPTURED
Second Rio Janeiro Outbreak Quickly
Suppressed--Mutineer Try to Es-
cape, but Are Caught by
Destroyers.

Rio Janerio, Dec. l2.-The govern
ment troops are again in control Of the
garrison on Cobra island, and the second
mutiny of the naval forces has ended
with heavy casualty list, but in a
way that viii probably prevent further
risings for some time to come.
The mutineers in the garrison, who
composed battalion of the marine
corps, numbered about 600 men. OF
these 200 were either killed or wounded.
The others were taken prisoners by the
destroyers while attempting to escape
from the island during the night.
Two hundred citizens were either
killed or wounded while watching the
bombardment from the streets of the
city or along the water front Many
government buildings were damaged, in
Guiding the treasury, the foreign Office
and the departments Of public works and
telegraphs, all handsome structures.
Two land batteries, two warships and
several destToyers took part in the bonn
bardment of the island Saturday and
twice during the engagement an armis.
tice was allowed for the removal OF the
dead and wounded. Firing ceased en-
tirely late in the evening, but no actual
surrender of the rebels took place, the
commanders of the government forces
deeming it the wiser course to await
the coming of day.
The destroyers, however, were sta
toned within easy range OF the island
so as to prevent any attempt on the
part Of the mutneers to escape. Toward
midnight several boats put out and men
could be seen swimming, evidently with
the intention OF reaching the mainland.
The destroyers bore down on them and
made them prisoners,
