selectmen Discuss Town Matters.

At the regular meeting of the board
of selectmen last evening many rou-
tine matters were discussed and dis
posed of. The matter of securing a
man to care for the common was settled
by deciding to have the work done by
the hour whenever it is necessa ry and
, not let out in lump sum as has been
done for number of years past II Is
quite likely that the common will be
improved this spring by the LAYING of
stone walks to take the place of those
now in use The selectmen have not as
vet found a man and his wife to sue
coed Mr. and Mrs. George Bi rch as
superintendent and matron of TIN e town
farm. Mr.. and Mrs. Birch plan to leave
as soon as a man can be found and ex.
meet to move into this village. Road
Commissioner David T. Perry di Scussed
with the selectmen several roa d mat
tiers. and Arthur l.. Trip, SUPERB ntend-
ent of the street railroad. was present
to listen to what Commissioner Perry
had to say relative to reducing the
grade of Main street near the town nall
and also cutting down the crown of the
street from the corner of Elliot street
to a point near the BAPTIST churc n. Mr.;
Perry explained to Mr.. Trip WI at had
been planned by the road comm Ssloner
and suggested that the railroad com.
pany might wish to increase the size or
its rails throuh Main street in order
to prevent the surface of the TO adway
for some distance each side Of tn e rails
from cracking. Mr.. Tripp was n OF pre-,
pared to say what his company would
do in the matter. It will be nee essary
probably to law new ties, and as Com
missioner Perry intends to lay tai, ma
cadam from where the paving e nds to
the Baptist church it will requi re con-
siderable reduction of the .gr ade in
front of the town hall. At that point
it will be necessary to remove t he soil
to depth of Is inches. Work will begin
as soon as the frost is out of the ground.

the outlook for the sale Of mac n ines was

abroad get their first impressions from
clothes, it is not improper that we give
them through our foreign represent
atives a correct impression of the
wealth and strength of the United
States. Our affected plainness is not
less ostentatious than it is deceiving.
Fifty years ago the writer of book
called Beyond the Mississippi ex-
pressed the popular feeling in behalf
of the express companies when he told
how the Wells Fargo Express Co.,
carried over two million letters within
a single year at the cost of 12tc a
letter, which he said clearly illustrates
the superiority of private enterprise,
and'', he argued, "abolish the post
office department, leave this like other
carrying trade, to private competition,
and the mail service of the United
States will be performed so per cent.
cheaper and 100 per cent better than
it is today. This is very much like
the anti-parcels post argument we are
having now.

THE DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION
MOVEMENT LAUNCHED WITH
ENTHUSIASM.

A fine spirit of enthusiasm
was manifested at the meeting
held Wednesday afternoon in
the rooms of the Merchants and
Manufacturers Association for
the purpose of beginning the
work of raising the $500, 600 fund
necessary to secure the Demo-
cratic convention, says the Balti-
more Sun. The very inclement
weather kept away many who
would otherwise have been
present, but it did not serve to
dampen the ardor of those who
were there. Chairman Grain
showed that he was the right
man in the right place by the
way in which he pointed out the
duty of citizens to their city, and
his earnest manner of dealing
with the question. He convinced
everybody present that he firm
ly believed the money asked
would be we'll invested, that the
city would receive many returns,
in the way of advertising and
that with the money guaranteed
the chances for securing the
convention would be more than
good.
There was but one opinion >ex-
pressed by those who made
speeches with respect to the con-
vention that it would be fine
thing for the city, and we'll
worth what it would cost; but
one as to the raising of the
money-that it would be done in
a very few days. A number of
those present not only subscribed
but expressed their readiness to
serve upon the various COM
mittees to secure subscriptions
from those not represented at
the meeting. These committees
will be appointed at once, and it
is expected they will go to work
Immediately, pushing the matter
so rapidly that the time consumed
in raising the entire fund will be
counted in days instead of weeks
or months.
With the enthusiasm shown by
the meeting to an animate the
movement it is impossible that
it should fail.

PASSING OF A PORT

1t is not necessary to rename
Annapolis Ichabod, affirming
thereby that its glory has depart
ed, because of such alittle thing as
the adjustment of the ancient
port and the substitution of a
deputy collector for the collector
ship that, has been maintained
there for a time that the mind of
man runneth not to the contrary.
Yet there is sentimental interest
in the passing of the port of
Annapolis, and even though the
showing of expenses to receipts
was that of S977. SO, against
$50. 80, those whose memories
rove to the past glory of the port
will heave a sigh of regret at it's
fate.
Annapolis was once port
whose waters teemed with the
finest fleet of sailing craft to be
found anywhere outside the
Patapsco. In those days it was
the Athens of America, and it's
ideals of culture and refinement
were those of the nation. In the
very early times the port was
the principal point of entry for
the indentured servants whose
addition to the population did
much for the growth of Mary
land in numbers, even if not in
elements of hereditary satisfac-
ton.
The modern Annapolis has
much to it's credit. It's glory as
a port has passed, but it is the
