A Woman Wronged.

A young woman with an infant IN
her arms sought in New York pos
lice station shelter and food for her
babe. For nearly week, since she
had left the retreat where the child
was horn, she had wandered about
the streets, begging food, sleeping in
open Railways, hugging her child to
her bosom to keep it warm. The
child had father, but the young
mother had no husband.
1t was "the old story" The police
of great city hear it every day. It
is every day written anew in some
poor girls experience-wooed, de-
ceived, disgraced. outcast, two heads
to shelter, two bodies to clothe, two
mouths to feed. The man in the
case goes about his business as before,
seeking another woman to ruin.
Society has little compassion for
the woman, no vengeance for the
man.. The woman is thrust beyond
the social pale-to shelter her is al.
most to share her infamy. Anybody
may come into the closest contact
with the man without losing any
thing of society's respect, for the
offender himself has lost nothing.
The sin Is held to be all on one side,
and that the side of betrayed trust
and blasted life.
When two burly athletes face each
other in ring everybody insists on
fair play. The demand for faif play
is not loud enough to shake the
heavens when a woman has been
wrorged by man. Wheeling Htels

Let Us Have the Next Legislature.

The Republicans of Maryland in
securing the next Legislature can
name the Board of Public Works if
we can also elect Wellington. and
give Ephraim X. Wilson his quietus.
Leaving out of question for the
present the grand reforms that could
he realized through Republican
ascendency in the General Assembly,
let us see what our chances are. There
are 10 hold.over Senators of whom
4 are Republicans and 8 Democrats.
The Republicans will get sure with
good chances in Cecil and Prince
Georges and capital opportunity
in the third legislative district OF
Baltimore, which was carried by the
Democrats last time by only mar
row margin of 252-surely not a
great thing to overcome. Winning
these. with the hold-overs we would
have IA in the Senate. thereby secur-
ing its control.
In the next House of Delegates the
Republicans can reckon Allegany, 4 ;
Anne Arundel. 4; Calvert. 2; Caro-
line. 2; Charles. 8; Frederick. 5;
Garrett. 2; Somerset. 8; st. Mary's
2; Talbot, 8; Washington. 4; total
81. The Democrats will get 6 in Bal.
timore county, 3 in Dorchester. 4 in
Hartford, 2 in Howard, 8 in Mont
gomery, 3 in Queen Anne's. 8 in
Wicomico, and in Woacester, total
q. Last year the Democrats carried
Carroll by only III; Cecil by 100;
Kent by 80; Prince Georges by 70
II we win in these our delegation
will stand 46 Republicans to As Dem
ocrats, conceding 10 to the latter
from Baltimore city. But we have
a capital chance to win in the third
Baltimore district. Without any

The Health of JOhnstown.

Professor William H. Pancoast,
president of the Red Cross Society,
WAS called suddenly to Youngstown
last Wednesday. and returned to
Philadelphia Saturday. He was seen
in the evening by a reporter, and
questioned as to the condition of the
stricken city. as New York paper
had an article only a few days ago
asserting that there were still 400
cases of typhoid fever In Johnstown,
and that the health of the city was
undermined.
DR.. Pancoast said: "That is all

EDITOR REPUBLIcAN:-Aliow me
space In your columns to correct a
false report that Ia now afl0at con.
corning Mr.. Jacob Fresh. one of our
nominees for County Commissioner.
and money levied him to repair
bridges crossing Blue Lick run. The
report Ia that Mr.. Fresh misspent or
kept $50 LEVIED him tor repairing the
above named bridges. The facts of
the case are these: Mr.. Fresh ASKED
for a levy for the above purpose anu
told the Commissioners to levy the
money to whom they pleased. The
levy was made and Mr.. Fresh gave
1t no more attention, thinking 1t had
been made TO some other person. He
consequently did not know II had
been made to him, and therefore did
not ask me for the money. The
matte. slipped my memory until
this report came out and called my
attention to 1t. On the 9th of Octo-
Der. l found that he had levy of $50
and paid 1t on the next day. The
bridges are now In good order and
the money expended as per levy.
The fault was mine and no blame
whatever can be attached to Mr..
Fresh. I here assert that the report
is entirely false and without founda-
ton.

reputation he served one term

his greatest reputation was gained as
Commissioner of Internal Revenue.

1888. His acceptance of the office is
a great surprise here, as it is we'll
known that he gave up law prac-
tice worth more than double the sal.

Gen. Raum is a good lawyer. a good

executive ability. His Judgment is
sound, and having confidence in it,
he is never afraid to do what is right.

Gen. Raum was gallant soldier.
There is no doubt of where his SYM
pathies lie. At the same time he is
a man of good judgment and of long
experience in department of the

The local II. A. r. men are tickled
almost to death over the appoint

The jury law, as amended, will

more difficult than it has been to

Trial by jury, remarks the Epoch, is
