LOCAL OPTION WINS.

The Local Option bill was brought
in with an unfavorable report by the
Temperance Committee Of the Mary
land Legislature on Tuesday af,er-
noon and Immediately tire fight to
substitute the bill fer che unfavorab.e
rspors was begun. At 1870 o'clock
Wednesday morning the bill passed
to its thiid reading by vote of 50
to As. The debate that preceded il
was bitter in the extreme and no
more stormy session has ever been
known. Superintendent Anderson
of anti-saloon league was called
liar; Delegate Gift was charged BY
the Speaker with perjury; DIR. Car
roll was told by Speaker Trippe that
be was 'swhited sepulchre." The
Speaker was Kissed to such an extent
that the Speaker Pro Tenn ordered
the galleries cleared, Which order was
afterwards rsscinded; and Delegate
Dawkins said in referring to efforts Of
the League to defeat him said Of
Anderson, ''lf he says he is not
against me and was not against my
election, he is a malicious falsifier,
and when he says that was promia-
ed reward for my vote against the bill
two years ago, be utters what is as
false as hell" And there were many
other epithets, hurled backward and
forward by those for and against the
passage of the bill.
Our representatives Mesars. Mudd
and Posey ach voted against the
bill after explaining their reasons for
SO dong. The bill will now in all
probability, pass the House and then
will have to run tbs gauntlet in the
Senate.

RECALL BY MURDER.


One Of the most horrible crimes
ever perpetrated in this country was
committed by mob Of lawless men
in the Conrt house of Carroll county,
Virginia, on Friday Of last week,
when the presiding Judge, states at
torney, and sheriff were killed, one or
two jurors, and young lady specta-
tor were wounded, one Of the jurors
and the young lady having since
died.
The atrocious crime was committed
because one of the members of
lawless gang Of mountaineers had
been found guilty of aiding in the
escape Of his nephew accused of high
way robbery The man was clearly
guilty and the punishment he was to
receive after a verdict congicting him
had been rendered was not severe
one, as was proven by the words,
zone year in the, which were the
last words, uttered by Judge Massie
as he feel dead from stots fred by
the gang.
More for political effect than for
the general good, we believe, a new
doctrine Of referendum and recalls
is being advocated BY prominent men
in both Of the great political parties
today. giving power to recall those
previously elected. Throughout this
country the doctrine Of disregard for
the courts is now being preached. tt
may be that the proposal for the re-
call Of the judges has not penetrated
into the mountains Of Virginia and
this crime may have been only an
extreme instance Of violence on the
part Of a crude lawless people. But
it comes at time when it cannot be
regarded otherwise than as an impress
sive demonstration Of the danger of
holding up to public view the Courts
Of this country as legitimate objects
Of violent denuneistion and bitter at
tack. Certainly this horrible crime |
is calculated to give pause to the
people throughout the country at
this political juactlre il their politi-
cal development I

Commenting further on the Conn
ty School Board question and reply
ing to some Of his critics, liovsrnor
Goldsboroagh has this 70 say;
@The State Of Maryland appropri-
ates annually $4,000 for free school
books. Leaving out Baltimore city
about $4,000 goes 10 the COUNTIES.
OF this amount il has been said that
one firm alone, which i represented
in Maryland by a gentleman active
in politics, receives not less than
$4,000. May not this fact explain
the earnest activity Of some gentle
menu
1T may not be amiss to state that
| have been informed that Dr. Ste
phens. the State Superintendent, has
said publicly within The past year
that some Of the present county sup
erintendents- Democrats = are not
proper persons to he a. the head q
schools. have been further in
form ell that he has said since the
election that the people OF Maryland
voted for Governor Goldshorough
with full knowledge that if elected
be would appoint Republicans on the
various school boards and that he
DR.. Stephens-wouId not approve of
any legislation depriying him of his
power Of appointment.
an statement recently published
il was said that the school law pro-
vides for the adoption and purchase
Of text books by competitive bidding.
aThis is misleading. Il is trne
that the law provides for the par-
chase Of the tex, books By compsii.
tive bidding, but it does not pro
vide for the adoption f text books BY
competitive bidding. The boards
Of chool commissioners have dis
cretionary powers in the matter Of
selecting books for use in The schools.
They have the right to change any
series Of text books at any time
without asking for bids from any
publisher Or book dealer, apd no
one will deny that this right has
been exercised with great freedom
all over the State. In the matter
Of purchasing books it is eAtall
different. Whens adoptions have
been made, school boards simply try
t. get from the publishers Or jobbers
the best terms in the way Of discoun,
from The list prices Of the publishers,
and this is all there is in the com
petltiye bidding feature Of the text
book law.
"After a full consideration Of these
facts is any establishment justified
because ofmJ appointment Of Repub-
licans on boards Of school ,ommis-
sioners. Il i true that | cannot be
