JUDGE =. w. MELTON.-lC was IuOTe LIldu
intimated at the late term of our Circuit Court,
that Herewith terminated our official rela-
tions with the gentleman who, for nearly two
years. has welded the important powers over
the lives, liberties and fortunes Of the people,
entrusted to the circuit judge. In these days
of degeneracy, when the vocabulary of cen
sure is exhausted in the vain attempt to ex-
press the public sense of wrong and outrage
under the infiction of incompetent and cor
rupt officials of every grade, it is a pleasure
to be able to write hearty "well DONE of
any officer to whom it is justly due.
We think we express the sentiment OF the
people and the bar when we say that the off.
cial career of Jud dge Melton has been marked
by a rare ability, dignity, diligence and cour.
tesy which renders it q matter of fprofound re-
gret that the limited tenure and insufficient
emoluments Of the position rendered other
posts more attractive to one possessing those
high qualifications for the judicial Office which
are Judge Melton's.
In the new field which he seeks to enter,
should he succeed, Judge Melton will have an
opportunity demonstrating the integrity OF
his purposes and his eminent abilities. Should
he solve the intricate problem of Statecraft in
its involved, obscure and anomalous condition
in South Carolina, and rescue the State from
the foul and seething sea Of corruption in
which she is now stepped, he will condone his
political offences and entitle himself to the
lasting gratitude ofhis people, Camden Jour-
nal.

ADDRESS

OF THE NATIONAL DEMOCRATIC COMMITTEE
TO THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES.
The October elections are over. They ena-
true political situation of the country.
In Georgia we have to recount a victory for
the Liberal ticket so unexampled as to take
her out of the list of doubtful States, and
practically to pronounce in advance the de-
cision Of at least 125 votes in the Electoral
College. To this number 1t is only necessary to
add sizty votes to elect Greeley and Bro,os.
In Pennsylvania the distinguished Chair
man of the Liberal Committee has eloquently
characterized the methods by which the re.
suit Of the election there was accomplished.
We commend his statement to the thoughtful
attention of the country.
In Ohio, despite most unprecedented gains
for the LIBERAL Democratic ticket, the Grant
managers have carried the election by re.
duced majority, having brought to the polls
their entire reserve vote. Had our Demo
cratic friends in certain localities of that great
Commonwealth shown the same earnestness
and activity, and enabled US like our enemies
to record our entire strenth, they would now
be exulting over brilliant victory. In Indi.
ana the Democrat and Liberal forces have
achieved most important success over Penn.
sylvania tactics most unscrupulously employ
ed by the administration and its allies, show
ing thus that free people when aroused know
their rights and dare maintain them. Indiana
has fairly demonstrated that she can neither
be "boug ght or bullied." The moral of these
results is that victory is still in plain view for
our national ticket, and that energy and cour.
age will assure it. That victory must be won.
If we mean to preserve free institutions on
this continent we must assure it.
The eventin Pennsylvania on Tuesday last,
when considered in its causes, is the most ap-
palling political catastrophe that has ever ta-
ken place in this country. Should the system
through which this catastrophe was brought
about be condoned by the people, and foisted
on the other States, it seals the doom Of free.
dom in America. A sad contrast it is surely,
that the city in which our Republic was born,
amid the anthems of a free people, should now
be the first to toll the knell of its liberties.
1t is for the free, unbought people of all the
States to calmly review the fearful crime
against suffrage in Pennsylvania, and to de.
eide whetherit shall be repeated within their
own borders.
For the first time the system of free-govern-
ment and the sanctity of the ballot are really
on trial in the United States. From this hour
forward the preservation of the franchise in
its integrity dwarfs all other issues.
Let our friends in each Of the States catch
inspiration from the heroic conduct of our fel,
low.citizens in Georgia and in Indiana, and
from now till November let their struggle be
manful and unceasing for liberty and an un'
tainted ballot-box, for reform and an honest
administration Of the government

President National Democratic Committee.

President National Democratic Committee
MIR. GREELEY ON THE SITUATION.


A few days ago, reporter Of the New
York Herald called on Mr.. Greeley to ascer-
tain how he felt about the result of the Octo-
Der elections. The following is an extract
from the "interviewer's" report"
"In regard to the result of the elections,
Mr.. Greeley, would you state your opinions
regarding the effect the October elections may
have upon the final contestf" The Philoso-
pher throughout this conversation had been
employing his time either in writing (seldom
resting his pen even when he was answering a
question: or glancing at his letters, but now
he put bis autograph with bis usual flourish
to the letter he had just written, and turned
to the Herald reporter with CHEEKY face.
"Certainly," he said, 81 would say this: Our
people are not likely to get frightened by the
October results. We intend to do our best
to the end. think we can surely count upon
1928 electoral votes in the South, and think
the North will give US the rest. Undoubtedly
there were frauds perpetrated in the Pennsyl'
vania election-frauds that affect the whole
American scheme of selfgovernment more
disastrously than they can effect me person
ally, and I believe the principles of the Libe'
raj movement are so deeply imbedded in the
minds and hearts of our people that only SIM
liar fraud can insure the success of the other
side in November, and it must be remembered
that frauds cannot be diffused so readily over
thirty.seven States as over three"
"Did you expect, even with fraud, that the
other party would poll so heavy majority in
Pennsylvania
"No, but at the same time 1 feared for
Pennsylvania, Notwithstanding the evil char.
acter of the Republican nominees there, more
than did for Ohio, because our friends were
well organized in Ohio and greatly lacked or.
ganization in Pennsylvania. In at least one
speech in Pennsylvania I strongly urged or.
ganization, and explained the need Of it."
Here Mr.. Greeley was handed letter by
O'Dwyer from gentleman in Florida, who
offers to sell him an orange orchard for stip.
ulated sum, that sum to be paid only when
the gentleman calls for it on President
Greeley at the White House. The cheer
full sage smiled when he perused it, and re-
piled to it in its turn after requests for auto.
graphs, and "correct poetical quotations"
were answered, but whether he closed the bar
gain or declined it is a mystery that may
never be fathomed.
"Will you make any more tours this can
vass?" asked the reporter.
"I do not know" responded the Liberal
Chief. ri will visit number Of agricultural
fairs, and if our friends think my services are
needed in the field, 1 will cheerfully acquiesce."

The event has also been commemorated by
old firms taking possession of new trade pala-
ces, and the board of trade installed in a
building that outshines the one which went
down in the great fire of 1871. Upon the
spot from which the former Chicago was
swept another Chicago has risen more glori-
Gus than the first. The marvel of its restor-
alton has been greater even than of its rise.
1t is in this but type Of American energy.
If we had but the ability to reconstruct po-
liticslly as rapidly as we can materially, the
national edi6ce would have been rebuilt with
in year after the end of the war.
- The Island of Manhattan, on which
New York city now stands, was bought by
the Dutch from the Indians in 1926 for the
sum of $25. The assessed value of wealth on
the island in 1872 is about s800,000,000, the
real value is not less than $4,000, ,000,0 600, and
may be even double this. Of course it will be
said that the Dutch made good investment
of their $25, and no doubt they did. But if
that S25 had been put out at interest at 10
per cent. on the first of October, 1926, and
the interest itself annually invested at 10 per
cent. also, the product on the 1st of October,
1872, would have been $26,56O179,962, or
more than s26,000,0O0,OOO. This is three
hundred times as great as the assessed value
of property in New York, and nearly as great
as the estimated value Of all the property in
the United States.

A Sermon i'm q Paragraph,

President Porter, of Yale, gave the follow
ing advice to the students of that institution
the other day:
young men, you are the architects of your
own fortunes. Rely upon your own strength
of body and soul. Take for your star, self
reliance. Subscribe on your banner, Luck is
fool, Pluck is hero.' Don't take too much
advice-keep at your helm and steer your own
ship, and remember that the great art Of COM
handing is to take fair share of the work.
Think we'll of yourself. Strike out. Assume
your own position. Put potatoes in cart,
over a rough road, and the small ones go to
the bottom. Rise above the envious and jeal-
Gus. Fire above the mark you intend to hit.
Energy, invincible determination, with right
motive, are the levers that move the world.
Don't drink. Don't chew. Don't smoke
Don't swear. Don't deceive. Don't read
novels. Don't marry until you can support
wife. Be in earnest. Be self-relant. Be
generous. Be civil. Read the papers. Ad-
vertise your business. Make money, and do
good with it. Love your God and fellow-men.
Love truth and virtue. Love your country
and obey its laws"
If this advice is implicitly followed by the
young men of the country, the millennium is
near at hand.

gEg@ The Tichborne Claimant, after a tri-
umphal tour through the provinces of Eng
land, has at last returned to london accom-
panied as usual by his two warm supporters,
Messrs. Onslow and Whaley. He there held
a monster meeting, at which 5000 people
arc reported to have assembled The claim
ant made speech of an hours length, in
which he attacked, as usual. the arguments
that had been brought against him in the late
trial, and declared that he wanted nothing
more than for his fellow-countrymen to aid
him in obtaining fair trial. One Alexander
Kennedy, an ex-sergeant of carabincers, came
forward and declared the speaker to be the
same Sir Roger Doughty Tichborne who had
commanded him in Ireland At the conclu-
sion of the speeches the meeting unanimously
voted a resolution to the effect that the
claimant is no other than Sir Roger Doughty
Iichborne, and avowing that the counsel who
had hitherto undertaken his defence had not
done their duty. Even the press is coming
over to his side, the Morning Advertiser re-
marking significantly that. if the claimant be
really no other than Arthur Orion, it is strange
that out of 5000 persons living in the imme-
date vicinity of his birth no one should have
as yet been able to recognize in him the son
of the butcher of Mapping.

MONEY, MONEY!

We make an earnest appeal to our deliu-
quent friends for settlement of overdue &C.
counts standing on our books. We have in
dulged many persons during the past three
or four years in consideration of the cry of
"hard times" from failure of crops, and
now, in consequence of our indulgence, "hard
times" are reacting upon us with considerable
severity. Siuce the crops of last year were
pretty good and there is prospect for good
crops this year, we confidently make the APP
peal and hope we shall not be compelled to
resort to more unpleasant means to obtain
settlement. We need money for various OBJ
jects-among the rest, for the purpose Of get
ting supply of new type, costly material
but much needed at this time to enable the
TIMES to present an appearance creditable
alike to patron and publisher. We confident
ly make the call. Who will be the first tc
rspond to it? 1897 st

Southern Maryland Railroad.

Some forty or fifty hands, from Virginia,
crossed the Potomac near Smiths Point and
passed through our town on Tuesday last, en-
route for the line of the Southern Maryland
Railroad. They were in charge of "boss, "
and are to be employed in grading this road
between Brandywine, in Prince Georges, and
Point Lookout, in St. Mary's county. We
understand that the company having this
road in hand have been pushing the work a.
head quite energetically, and this addition to
its force of laborers gives promise of an early
completion of the road.

And when thy spirit flies
To this bright world of love,
Then will gladly close mine eyes
And welcome thee above.

The School for young ladies at "Mount Air, "
the residence of Capt. James H. Neale, near St.
Thomas Church, in this county, conducted by
Misses Neale, closed its first session on Tuesday
last, on which occasion the pupils, having been
previously examined, gave an interesting and
pleasing exhibition, composed ola play entitled
.'The Chinese Mother" The performances of
the ;young ladies were rendered in very cred
liable manner. At the interludes Miss Hortense
Digges, one of the teachers, presided at the
piano and delighted the audience with some
fine selections of music. At the close of the
exhibition, the Rev. F. McAtee assembled the
stage and awarded premiums to the following
named young ladies for improvement in all
their studies and for having passed an excellent
examination:
Miss Lala Lawn, of Washington, D. G.
Miss Emily WEIGH, of Charles county.
Miss Kannie WEIGH, of Port Tobacco.
Miss Mary Millar, of Charles county.
Miss Clotildis Franklin, of Charles county.
Miss Mary Emily Hamilton, of Charles coun-
ty.es e-.-
A premium for learning how to write and
CIPHER very nicely was awarded to Miss BERTHE
Fowler, of Charles county.
Too much credit cannot be awarded the
Misses Neale for the manner in which they have
conducted this school, and, as matter of coun-
ty pride, we think, instead of sending their
children to schools out of the county, parents
should patronize home enterprise. We wish
these ladies every success in their laudable un-
dertaking, and hope that at the re-opening of
their school, in October, the number of scholars
will be largely increased.

Miss Nelson's NuptiaIs.

The marriage of Miss Nilsson at Westmin-
ster Abbey, on Saturday, to M. Auguste
Rouzaud, young banker of Paris, was an
event of more than ordinary brilliancy, and
afforded occasion for fitting recognition of
the high social and artistic position of the
bride. 1t is rare indeed that such evidences
of generous appreciation are bestowed upon
an opera singer outside of the opera house;
but, as the progress of the age develops what
is real and discards more of the unreal that is
mixed up with the morality of the people,
these things are destined to become less sub
ject to sentimental restraints. 1t is not always
the meritorious who receive grand presents on
their wedding day; but it is quite evident that
had not Miss Nilsson, who had little fortune
save merit to live upon when she commenced
her career, been possessed of some shining
qualities, the sixty thousand dollars worth Of
presents she received would have still been in
the shop windows of London and Paris. The
diamond bracelet given by the Princess Of
Wales was alone a testimonial worth far more
than its intrinsic value and meaning more than
the mere empty token of affected apprecia-
tion.-Sun.
