arguments In the four disputed Senate dis
tricts. Tho two appeals IN the Sherwood case
were first called. the arguments being opened
BY Delos McCurdy on behalf OF the Democrats.
sHERwooDs INE1IoIBIITY.
= Mr. McCurdy argued that relator was at
the time OF the election and Is ineligible to
the offlce Of Senator under section 8. article
6 of the State Constitution. The question pre-
scented IL: WAS the relstor at the time Of his
election. or within 100 days previous. an OFF,
Ger under any city Government as contem-
plated By the Constitution p After reading
the act Of tho Legislature creating Park Com
mission in Hornellsville. Mr. McCurdy argued
that those Commissioners possessed every Ut
tribute snd characteristic q publtc officers.
II. then. the relator Is Ineligible to the of1ce
OF Senator. every vote given for him at the
election Is absolutely void. The Constitution
declares the candidate ineligible, and tho Bal
: lot Reform law declares that his name shall
be considered as having been erased from the
official ballot" It has been uniformly held
that II the law which creates the disqualiflca-

where the ballots cast for Ineligible candidates
were treated as blank. and the candidate re-

Advertising ElktOn.

Advertise Elkton Why by all
means. The business man or firm
who has nothing that anybody
wants, cannot palm off worthless
wares by any amount OF fraudulent
advertising.
But Elkton has good wares to put
upon the market, in the shape OF
eligible lots for manufacturing pur-
poses, with unsurpassed railroad
facilities, as we'll as water transport
tation, and other equally important
advantages of location.
AS the purpose of advertising is
to let the world know what wares we
have for sale and bring together the
possible buyer and seller, why should
our new Board of Trade not indu lge
a little progressive action, and herald
abroad the towns local advantages.
We say this in view of the fact
that Mr.. William H. Rowe OF the
New York World has been here very
recently with this end in view, and
that our local Board have under con-
sideration a proposition to make
known through the columns G: That
widely circulated metropolitan jour
nal, the many advantages Elkton has
to offer those seeking location for
manufacturing industries.

Observation-Disclosures.

The delusive desire of a great

has been INDUCED to their cost re-
Gently In Philadelphia where a
number of Societies or orders have
lately sprung up and some of which
have as rapidly gone up. The
local crash is making a sensation
there among the working men. The
Benevolent Order of Active Workers
and the Bi-monthly Benefit Associa-
ton have made assignments. The
first is less than a month old and the
second was started four weeks ago.
The Active Workers were to get
their money in from two to eight
weeks, but nothing has been paid
out. There are about 1000 mem
bers, who may get back what they
have paid in, less about $40 each
which they paid as initiation fees and
for expense account, these items
being absorbed by the supreme
officers. The Bi- monthly had about
1900 members who will also be out
about $40 each. The collapse of
the short term orders is temporarily
beneftipp other orders by causing
lapses.
When the member lapses he sacri-
fees to the society all that he has
paid in, besides reviewing them of a
big liability. But even these orders
cannot be sustained except by con
slant growth in membership, and
ultimately they, too, must succumb
to the reawakening. More than
one.half of the 5000 workmen in the
Baldwin Locomotive Works belon-
ged to the orders that have gone up,
and their losses are said to average
$40 each. A great deal Of this
money has recently been withdrawn
from the saving fund established by
the firm for the benefit of their en-
ployes.
To the deluded people who allow
themselves to be duped and their
money to be stolen by the wild cat
