Ata meeting of the Board of Managers of the Maryland Society of the Colonial Dames of America held in Baltimore on Nov. 4th, 1897, the following resolutions were passed: Resolved, That by the death of our honored member, Mrs.

Elizabeth Pheobe Key Howard, this Society has lost one of its chief ornaments, whose dignity of life and charms of person typified in the highest degree all those virtues so highly prized by our fathers and the commemoration of which is one of the most important objects of this Society. Inheriting the traditions of a distinguished ancestry, highly honored from the earliest history of the Colony, the public servicesand private examples of which contribute in a large measure to the development of the Commonwealth, her own life in the community of today has been equally an example and an inspiration to those who have had the privilege of coming within the sphere of her influence. Always gentle, always of charming manners and ready sympathy, of quick intellect and never failing tact, unselfish and generous, she was beloved and venerated have been few WOmen of this epoch. Resolved, That in loving memory these minutes be spread upon the records of this Society and that a copy thereof be sent by the Secretary to the members of her family." New West Verginia County.

Brother, we were not two weeks in preparing the article to which you refer, and if we even had been it was not a company concern. but our own and not borrowed. Wedon't dispute the fact of your being a genius of the highest order, and a musical, intellectual and physical prodigy, and are not at all surprised to learn that you were shocked at our stupidity in written composition, for great minds like yours can never do justice to mediocrity. You advise the Board of Health to take my case in hand and place me in a conservatory with plenty of fish for diet.

Now, I am led to believe, judging you by what you say in regard to your broad breast, that you have recently been there, and that instead of feeding you on fish they fed you on crab, for you, like that crustacean, are all breast and no brain. We admit your deep, broad breast presents ample surface for many stars and medals, but we are inclined to the opinion that if any ever adorn it they will be the stars of braggartism and the medals of ostentation. You speak of my audacity in saying there were no bad singers in the Hoyes class and claim that you were too modest to say that of yours. The fact is you are egotistic enough to think that talent for music surpasses that your of a Beethoven or even a Mozart, and that when you are absent there is no Sang Run class. You say in your article that it did not take you two weeks to collect your thoughts.

Now do you really mean yours or somebody else's thoughts? I have never in any of my articles claimed to be a vocalist or musician, and you challenge me to a contest, and if I accept and beat you it will mean your "barrel," for a "half barrel" will never induce me to take a step of that kind, so is you still have the "barrel," you can name one judge and I will name two, as you challenged, and we will have a sing. As to the condition winter, we will leave that to the judgment of others, whose vision has not been impaired or blurred by a twenty sleep, and who, sometimes at years least, are oblivious to -those who would prefer to have their deeds of valor and mental and physical powers recorded and told by others than to tell and sing of them themselves. letter was received too late for publication last week. For a good lunch go to Martin's. Selbysport.

To Mr. Getty. Mr. Getty's organ, the Democrat, in its issue last week, contained a personal attack upon the editor of THE REPUBLICAN which will not be allowed to go unnoticed, although at this time we are not prepared to give Mr. Getty's letter the attention it shall receive in a later issue of this journal.

We have suflicient evidence in our possession to prove what we have asserted in reference to Mr. Getty, which will be published along with other unquestionable evidence in a future edition of THE REPUBLICAN. My oh. whither hast thou Democrat. She's gone in out of the wet.

Jimmy, old boy. Kindly tender our sympathies to the editor of the Garrett Jour-Oracle. NO INTELLIGENT man, with a nice sense of the sanctities and proprieties of domestic life, and no woman with a proper appreciation of the refinements that adorn a virtuous marriage will lend themselves to the sensational matrimonial symposiums which have recently become the bizarre feature of yellow journalism. TO THE Republicans in Maryland has come great power. They must use it wisely, not in any partisan sense, but for the best interests of the people.

The good citizens have placed the trust in their hands and they must do their duty to the broadest and fullest sense. It is not merely a Republican victory but a triumph of the people over Gormanismn and bossism. -Oakland Republican. Right you are, brother; and a noble victory it was, too. An effort of a life time was made by the Democracy of Maryland this year, and their failure to reclaim the State from the Republican ranks but illustrates the fact that the people of Maryland have placed their signatures and seals to their ballots of last fall and that land soil is henceforth and forever free soil in every sense of the word.

The victory is dicisive and final. Future elections will substantiate this Hard to Satisfy. The complaint of Bryanites that prices are higher is most illogical and unreasonable, since their whole cry last year was against low prices. The Democratic contention used to be that low prices were a blessing to the people and a low tariff was advocated on this ground. But when the Populist creed was adopted at Chicago high prices and a high tariff to make them came into favor.

The leaning of the Bryanites at the last session of Congress toward high tariff rates was a novel and remarkable spectacle. Eminent men from Georgia and even from Texas wanted high duties on certain things. Last summer the Bryanites were poohooing the advance in the price of wheat, saying that it was due to an exceptional scarcity of wheat and nothing else would advance. The gold standard was bad because the advance was not general. Now that improved confidence and business have increased earnings and increased the demand for and price of goods generally, still they are not satisfied.

Baltimore THE fall in the price of silver and the failure of the attempt to bring about a redemption of free coinage in the United States by the election of Mr. Bryan operated as a great discouragement to silver mining. Gold is the metal now sought for, and silver is considered as a by -product. As a result of these conditions the output of gold in Colorado this year will reach the enormous sum of the yield of silver will be of lead, copper, and iron $3,000,000 all told, $52,700,000. This is an outturn which puts Alaska to shame.

For the first time Colorado takes rank as the first among our gold producing States, and California falls into second place, with a gold output for the year amounting to $17,000,000. When it is known the surface has been but barely scratched in the development of the mineral wealth of Colorado, Montana, Idaho, Washington and other of the Rocky Mountain States, and when the proportionately small risk of mining ventures is considered as compared with operations in frozen and inhospitable Alaska, the preparations for gold hunting next in the Arctic regions seem to be year foolhardy. Distribution of the State The Unjust School Fund. In to-day's issue of THE REPUBLIRev. S.

M. Engle, pastor of the CAN Garrett Memorial church, contributes strong argument against the ent method pursued by the State's officers in distributing the State school fund by withholding from Garrett county her equitable proportion of the money for educational purposes, and thus unjustly depriving the children of this county of the for securing what every Amermeans ican citizen should have and is entitled to--an education at the public expense. Rev. Engle, in his letter, proposes reform in the matter of distributing this fund which, if carried out, will remove the odium now resting upon the educational advantages of this county and place her children upon equal plane with those of other an counties in the State. The only way this matter can adjusted is by legislative enactment and the newly elected members the House and Senate from this county are urged to use all honorable in bringing this reform about.

means THE REPUBLICAN has always been an earnest advocate of the public schools of the county and nation and invites correspondence along this line. Mr. Bryan In Ohio. Well. Mr.

Bryan did it again. His in Ohio, which was meant to tour that State in the free silver place ranks and take Hanna out of the Senate, worked the other way. The rear-platform orator talked in great twelve Ohio counties. He was not permitted to go into any city, as it was thought the tenor of his speeches was better suited to the rural communities. The scheme of the Democrats was not to pay very much attention to the cities, but to work 1 the counties for all they were worth.

It was the same plan that Mr. Gorman tried in Maryland. They call it a "gum shoe" campaign out west. Mr. Bryan's part was to whoop up things in the backwoods.

The Columbus (0.) Journal has figured out just exactly what Mr. Bryan did, and shows it in the following table. It takes these twelve counties in which Mr. Bryan spoke and shows gains and losses: Gain in Gain in Rep. Dem.

Counties. plurality. pluranty. 415 Van 2 Defiance. 942 Licking 223 191 27 Vinton 45 Perry.

Hocking 178 Jackson. 173 Highland 35 257 Cuyahoga 5.1 2,051 1,053 Net Republican gain. 997. Each party gained in six counties, but the Republican gains was almost double that of the Democrats. The table is the more interesting when we remember that there was a great reaction in Ohio.

and the Democrats seemed to be making gains everywhere. After the Presidential campaign, it was pointed out that Mr. Bryan's record breaking tour left a trail of Republican gains behind it. He seems to be keeping up his gait. Maryland Pensions.

The report of Commissioner of Pensions Evans shows that there are in Maryland 12,751 pensioners who draw an aggregate of pensions amounting to $1,847,292.52. Ohio is the banner pension state, having no less than 103,471 pensioners, drawing 078.56. Indiana has 68,213 pensioners and Illinois has 68,717, but the Hoosier pension attorneys seem to be shrewder than their neighbors, for Indiana veterans divide $10,550,900.70 among them, while the Illinois men get only $9,944,283.38. The list showing the residence of foreign pensioners proves that some of the veterans have wandered rather far away from the land they shed their blood for. There are pensioners in India, Algiers, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Finland, Korea, Tahita, Siam, St.

Helena, and almost every other spot on the face of the globe. Incidentally there has been expended for pensions in the first five days of this month the sum of $3,725,000, or over a million dollars more than the receipts of the government from either customs or internal revenues.
