THE POLITICAL SITUATION. Both of the
great parties arc now ready for the battle
which will decide the political future Of New
York, and the other party the liberals, is
perched upon the fence where it can view
the contest from a position Of safety. This
situation reminds one of the way the Romans
used to survey the gladiatorial displays in
the Coliseum, excepting that in our warlike
strife the gladiators vastly outnumber the
spectators. AS an index to the canvass we
publish to-day thorough review of the po-
iitical field from which both parties may
derive information and the liberal spectators
innocent and disinterested entertaiDment.

The PREHIsToRIc RUINS OF AMERICA
Many reasons exist for supposing that the
Western Continent, as an abode for animal
life, is older than the Eastern, SO that the
New World is q geological misnomer How
ever this may be, the proofs are constantly
increasing that America was ages ago the
seat of a civilization which has now persisted
from the earth. Long before the Indians
came the West was the home of races which
cultivated the arts and left vestiges Of their
superiority in their architecture The Hay
den Survey has been fortunate in exploring
the caverns and ruins in Arizona. and the
latest discoveries are described to-day in an
entertaining letters from our correspondent
with the expedition.

The SPRINGFIELD ACCIDENT. In his SER
mon at the funeral Of Mr.. Sykes, the un-
fortunate man who was killed by the caving
of a well at West Springfield the other day,
the Rev. Mr.. Pomeroy made some sugges-
tions as to the propriety Of regulating the
methods Of well sinking by legislative &C
tion which deserve thoughtful considera-
tion. The apology the reverend gentleman
made for the blunders in this special case

sufficient to compensate for their previous

The Reform Mass Meeting in Baltimore
ON Tuesday Night.

We copy the following from the San of We'd
nesday:
The committee appointed by the meeting re-
Gently held at Masonic Temple rs called by
merchants and business men, in the interests
of reform, made report last night to a reas
sembled audience in that temple, which, tho
large enough to fill the hall and quite enthusi-
aStic, was composed of somewhat heterogene-
Gus elements. The mercantile and business
element did not predominant, but there were
present Reformers of all classes, and on the
whole an apparent desire was manifested to
purify the political atmosphere, with what eff
feet will be told at the coming municipal and
State elections.
The committee reported the full opposition
State ticket heretofore published, of j. Morri-
son Harris for Governor, s. Teackle Wallis for
Attorney General, and Edwin Wilkins for
Comptroller They also presented Il full legiS
lative ticket for this city, and for both branch
es of the City Council, with one exception in
the second branch, as well as for other elective
city offices. On these tickets they place the
names of five of the eighteen Democratic nomi-
neeS for the House of Delegates, seven of the
twenty Democratic nominees for the first branch
of the City Council, and five of the ten nomi-
nees for the second branch. The meeting also
Endorsed two of the Democratic nominees for
City Surveyor, and partially Endorsed Mr.. \.
Leo Knott the present incumbent) for States
Attorney, singularly qualifying this latter pro-
ceeding by also to the same extent indorsing
Mr.. H. V. d. Johns. the Citizens Reform nomi
nee for the same office. For Mayor they nomi
nate Henry NJ. Warfeld, the Citizens party
candidate. They nominate an entire new can
didate for Senator in the third Legislative dis
trict. Mr.. Harris was present and accepted the
nomination for Governor in conciliatory
speech, and Messrs. Wartield and Porter also
accepted in brief remarks their respective nomi-
nations. One of the most prominent and inter-
eStng features of the meeting was the reading
of lengthy and. pungent letter from Hon. :
I. Wallis, accepting the nomination for Attor-
ney General, in which he strongly arrays the
Democratic parry managers in the State and
city for the growth of corruption, their action
being in defiance of the better majority, and
explaining his own views and purposes in TAX
ing independent action.

Tobacco Inspection System.


BRYANToWN, september 10, 1919.
CAPT. WELLs,-Dea Sir: Don't you know
the farmers do not want to sell, rent or change,
the present Warehouse system in the city OF
Baltimore? Suppose we sell, we will have to
pay cash, freight inspection, drayage, storage
and commission, before we can get our tobacco
notes, should we wish to hold for a better mar
ket. Where are we farmers to get That money
from? Next, rent? Who will be the highest
bidders? | will tell you: The combination
that is now in the city of Baltimore--our COM
mission merchants and tobacco buyers. Are
they more honest than the present inspectors
The present system changed, the combination
will draw their own samples and give their
own prices How can all the evils attending
the warehouses be met? | will answer: BY
an organization that was formed for that pur-
pose. Let us Changers honestly pack our to-
appoint one honest man, in each warehouse; in
spector; let each inspector employ his own help;
then let us Changers remember our obligations
buy and sell together. Let us at once, in
each tobaceo-growing county, appoint our own
agent and concentrate all of our produce in his
hands. Then our agents will get their pay
Our inspectors will be disnterested, and will
have no competition, therefore must be honest
all alike, get what our produce is worth and
sells'for, and that is all we ought to want
Yours very respectfully,
Port Tobacco times, and Charles County advertiser. (Port Tobacco, Md.) 1845-1898, 1875-10-01
The Maryland Reforsners.

The Maryland Democracy have not a
great deal of reason to quake in theiy
shoes for fear of any very great disaster
that may befal their party, and its custom
airy maiorities, from the new Reform $50
called) movement that has recently been
inaugurated. The object of these reform
ers is most too evident. AS far as the
handful Of Democrats who are concerned
the cause of their dissatisfaction is one
too plainly visible in the fact of their be-
ing ont of office, while Others are in. RE
form has ever been and it is probable
that it will ever be, the watchword of all
discontinued aspiring politicians who as
sumo that all parties and governments
need reforming that they do not control.
The Republicans may not have done a
very impolitic thing when they refused
to nominate candidates from their own
ranks and agreed to cooperate with the
Democratic malcontents, but we doubt
whether the future will not prove that it
was not an unwise movement for the well
fare of their party hereafter. Like the
polly McNatts" of Delaware, the "Pota-
to Bugs of Maryland won't amount to
much INiddletorn (Del) Transcript.

ES~ In Iowa, where there has been IA defnl-
cation under every Republican State Treasurer
since the State was admitted TO the Union.
there are three men who within the past two
years have flched Sl4O 900 from the State
Treasury, Rankin, Orwig and Brandt. They
are not in JAIL nor have they ever been driven
from the party of great moral ideas but are
high in its counsels. Orwig until very recent
ly conducted Republican organ and was in
favor of reforming the party by remaing in
the party" Rankin having escaped punish
ment is suing the State to recover possession
of the property he decided to it in part payment
of his stealings, and will probably win his
snit; Brandt is taking an active part in the
present canvass rs a trusted agent of the Re-
publican party, and dictates the local nomina-
tons at the State capital. Per contra. the on
ly prominent Democratic official who proved
unworthy of the trust reposed in him, james
Bryan, the Treasurer of jackson county, who
defaulted for $40, 900, was arrested by Demo
Gratis, indicted and prosecuted by Democrats,
found guilty by Democrats and sent by Dem
ocratic Judge to the Anamosa prison for three
years, where to-day he is wearing the convict
stripes and living on the convict's fare.

PRIMARY ELECTIONS.

We again urge upon the Democrats
and Conservatives to attend the Pri-
mary Elections and send full delega-
lions Of good men and true-men who
care enough for the cause to attend
the meeting of the Convention. Much
valuable time is consumed and great
delay caused by the necessity of filling
up delegations. In this connection
we beg our friends in Patuxent to
make an effort to have here this time
full delegation. They are no furth-
er from the town than many portions
of the other districts, which are al
ways fully represented. Assuredly
they can find ten Democrats in their
district willing to do that much for
the party. We mention this now, not
only because it is especially desirable
to have a full interchange of views
from all sections of the county, but
because the repeated failures of full
delegation from this district to attend
and yet at the same time to be allow
ed to cast full vote, has been the
subject of comment among our friends.
We hope therefore every effort will be
made there and in every other district
to send not only good men, but men
who will attend, for Gin a multitude
of counsel there is safety"
We can add nothing to what we
have already said on the Importance
of these primary elections. A failure
to attend them in Baltimore city by
the more respectable portion of the
party has resulted in such nominal
tions as to have driven a number of
Democratic sympathizers into the
present opposition movement. Had
Mr.. Teackle Wallis, the opposition
nominee for Attorney General, attend
ed the primary elections of the Demo-
cratic party in his own ward and used
half of the vigor he now employs in
denouncing their improper manage
ment, he would have had no occasion
to have taken the Radical-Know-
Nothing nomination and thereby dug
his own political grave. Turn ont
then, friends, one and all, and make one
more effort for the redemption of our
old county from its present mongrel
illumination.

Death OF Edgar SnOWdeM.

The press of the country has sustained
loss in the death of the venerable editor
Of the Alexandria Gazette hard to supply.
Mr.. Snowden was a man of marked abili-
ty, not only as an editorial writer, but in
that other and more difficult role connect
ed with the conduct of a paper, and which
may be described as the sarOir Taire. In
1S31-forty-fou years ago-he succeeded
his father, Samuel Snowden, who had
founded the Gazette in 1900. This is a re-
markable career for paper to have been
for seventy-five years under the control of
two persons, father and son. Yet during
all that time it has been paper of marked
prominence and under the administration
of Edgar Snowden it was one of the insti-
tutions of Alexandria, and to many of our
people had become as familiar as house
hold words. For sometime past the de
ceased had been in failing health from
asthma, but only within the last two weeks
did his symptoms become alarming. The
Gazette will be continued under the man
agement Of his son, Edgar Snowden. who
for sometime past has had the active con-
duct of it.

OUR COUNTY CONVENTION.

We hope the delegates to this body
will be mindful of the purpose of the
Executive Committee to have an ear
ly organization-at II o'clock A. NJ,
if possible. This will give ample
time before dinner for the transaction
of the preliminary business, such as
filling vacancies, and taking the neces-
sary steps for complete and thorough
organization for thepending campaign.
A better opportunity will also be of
fered the delegates for canvassing
proposed nominations than can pos
sibly be afforded by the usual desulto-
~ conversation held on the green
Besides, the members will have all day
before them and can act with more
deliberation than usual and yet have
an abundant time to reach their homes
before night. So we hope every man
will be promptly in his place at the
appointed time-and with the firm
determinations 70 give us the best tick
ct the county can afford. Whilst, I'M
der present circumstances, no man
should seek to obtain a nomination,
we believe and hope no man will de-
cline it if the Convention harmonious
ly demands his services. Let this be
the action of all, and when the sun of
November Sd rises, it will shed its
joyous light on our county, redeemed,
regenerated, and disenthralled.

From the indications already given by
the Baltimore american, Annapolis Gazette
and other Radical sheets, the present State
campaign is likely to become memorable
for its unblushing and unmitigated Radi-
cal lies. Desperate indeed must be the
cause which could induce men who pro-
fess responsibility to allow their papers tc
be made the vehicles of such gross false
hoods
