ON THE GOVERNORS LETTER

WE are in receipt ia letter from
Governor Goldsborough published on
another page wherein he affects to ask
the advice of the Maryland farmers as to
matter of public policy.
We are not disposed to regard the
Governors request very seriously That
Is to say, we do not attach much SINGER
ity to his protested desire to discover
the farmers judgment on this matter-or
any other 1t is the way of the politi-
clan, you know, to make a great parade
of single minded devotion to the farmers
welfare, of unlimited admiration for his
occupation, of distinguished regard for
his vital worth to society; and il is like
wise the way of that same politician to
sacrifice that farmers interests on the
altar of his own political fortunes-with
a blythe and beautiful belief that he has
fixed the farmer" sufficiently, by few
bouquets OF advice" and Appreciation
Maybe he has and then again maybe he
hasn't. He certainly hasn't fixed" the
farmer who knows bull calf from a
taxpayers brief.
THAT farmer will go slow on offering
or receiving advice, from the Governor,
until he has given some more genuine
evidence of his interest in the farmers
welfare than is to be found in hot air"
We must judge the tree by its fruits. The
fruit of the Goldsborougn garden, thus
far, for the farmer has been a LEMON
And while the acrid taste thereof vet
sticks in our throat, we feel no warming
to either receive his advice or offer him
ours in return.
Going into office with strong profess
sions of economy and retrenchment in
public expenditures, he signed. sealed
and delivered the people of Maryland
over to the most appalling program of
expenditure that has ever been imposed
upon them. 4 great share of the burden
OF TAXATION resulting therefrom, falls
upon the shoulders of the farmer. Bow
ed down and bitter beneath that burden.
MS grace OF patience is not sufficient to
give kindly ear to this lawyer politician
as he gives advice or asks it,
We are speaking very neutrality-suspicious.
you think severely. Let us then saw,
very deliberately, that if the Governor
resents our words as either too severe
or not entirely just, we here and now
invite him to say so-AND WE WILL
PROVE OUR CHARGES TO THE Hit,
an effort to make political capital. We
belong to the Governors party. We are
not warped by any personal ill-will. We
helped elect Goidsboruugh Governor, and
have for him the kindest feelings, person
ally We cannot be charged with ig-
norance of that whereof we speak, be-
cause We were intimately associated with
the plan of his campaign and have been
closely in touch with the steps of his
administration.
Let 1t be understood then, 5nat we in
dict him and his administration with
regret, BUT WE NONE THE LESS IN
DICT HIM, because we believe we would
be recreant to the interests or our peo.

GRANGE SUBMITS VIEWS

The Maryland State Grange has sub
mitted a report to Governor Goldsbor-
ough, containing many recommendations
as to the rebuilding of the Maryland Ag-
ricultural College destroyed by fire sew
eral months ago. and as to the selection
of a president for that institution as a
successor to Capt. r. w. Sylvester.
The recommendations of the Grange
which will be considered by the college
trustees, are as follows
I'VE believe that no man should be
considered who cannot command salary
of $4,000 year. The position is one of
sufficient dignity and Importance to the

OUR WISHES FOR SUCCESS

THE projected Farmers Business and
Civil Association" for this county may
or may not work out to a practical sue
cess; but it is BORN OF A NEED AND
FATHERED BY A LIVE IDEA. The
man who never was guilty or having an
idea himself or if he perchance found
one about his person, never had the cour-
age to produce it and acknowledge it,
THAT man will, of course, deprecate 1ht-
project as wholly impractical, simply be-
cause nothing is ever practical to his
thinking that is in any wise out of the
ordinary. This man will wan, to wait
and see He always does. His temper
ament puts him in the class of the do
nothings" who always view with alarm
or prophecy with assiduity the failure of
any and every thing that comes from the
camp of the do omethings."
For ourselves, we regard this project
with the highest favor and most sincerely
hope for its success. We want to see it
extend through the county, embracing
our citizens generally, WITHOUT REF
ERENCE TO SECTION OR PARTY.
Some such organization, for unifying us
as county people, for bringing us to-
gether for conference and concerted ac-
ton, is deeply needed and any idea or
project looking to that end is worth
nursing

command the services of such man.

command the services of such man.
Having secured the right man, we be-
leve that the management of the inter-
nal affairs Of the institution should be
placed largely in his hands; that MEM
bers of the faculty should be employed
or dismissed only upon his recommen-
dation; that he should be made respon
sible for courses of study and the de-
tails of instruction, and that the trus
tees should deal only with the larger
questions of finance and administration.
I'VE believe before any step is taken
to make plans for permanent structures
to replace those destroyed by fire or to
locate such permanent structures COM
petent landscape architect should be en-
ployed to make plans for the location of
buildings, which shall provide for the
growth of the institution for the next
100 years or more 1t has been almost
universally the experience of rapidly
growing colleges that if such plans were

In contrast to the above report ID
the argument that comes to our table In
a late bulletin from the Agricultural Col
lege. which contends that the present
location is in every way unit for the
purposes of the college, that IT should be
moved to some more central location, and
that the State should make much greater
appropriations for its support. convert
