A Wild Western Chesterfield.

Here is very neat little story ILL.
ustrative of the fact that even the
wild and woolly west can produce a
natural born Chesterfield upon oc.
casion. At a party given last winter
was bashful cowboy, who had not
been in civilized society for several
years. He was a good looking fellow,
and one of the young ladies present
kindly took All interest in him, and
tried to make him feel at ease. He
feel desperately in love with her at
once, and the hostess noticing this en-.
couraged him all she could. In leav-
ing the house the young lady who
had taken u friendly interest in the
cowboy forgot her overshoes and the
hostess told the young Lochinvar
from the plains that he might return
them to the girl if he wished. The
berder leaped at the chance, aud pre-.
scented himself IN due time Mt the
young Iady's house. She was very
much surprised to see him, but greet
ed him cordially.
"You forgot your overshoes last
night" awkwardly handing her the
package.
She thanked him aud opened it.
"Why, there's only one overshoe
here" she exclaimed.
"Yes, Miss" said the blushing
vacquero. earnestly. "Tll bring
round the one to morrow, and only
wish to God, miss, that you were a
centipede."

and weeks at an expense to the tax
payers Of twelve or fifteen hundred

bill 10 st. Mary's county, or gas pipes
in Baltimore city,"
We have had occasion heretofore
to refer to this subject. There is an
infinite amount Of local legislation
that it might be swept away, and
with it a current Of corruption and
jobbery. that now brings disgrace
upon the Maryland legislature. These
local dog, crow. &C., regulations could
be safely relegsted to the Boards of
County Commissioners for the respec-
tive counties. Road regulations, and
in fact all matters purely local, could
under some general provision DO lett
to the counties. So ell corporations
could be provided for under the gen.
ersl act and charters obtained through
the courts or county commissioners,
instead Of the Legislature. More
than half the laws enacted, are Of Q
local character. By adopting the
above suggestion, at least half the
session of the legislature could be
saved and about $4,000 persday or
some $4,000 could be kept in the
Treasury. And in addition to this,
the lobby would have less occa sion to
harass the sessions of the Legislature
by its presence. The local affairs of
the counties would be better arranged
for. by the people living in the coun.
ties, than by outsiders. Why in the
world should citizen of Somerset be
asked to decide whether Anne Arun.

BALTIMORE, Feb. /.
There probably never was q time in the
history Of Maryland politics when so much
interest developed 50 far in advance of an
election as is now manifested in the COM
ing Gubernatorial contest. Even for seve-
raj months back quiet fight for the nom
ination, which takes place in July, has
been going on between the various aspi-
rants. In every place where politicians
congregate the friends of the opposing can
didates are ever on the alert to put in q
word for their favorite. Many candidates
have been mentioned, but from q careful
look over the field it would seem that the
contest has narrowed down between ex-
Postmaster Frank Brown and ex-Mayor
James Hodges. Il viii not be walk over
for either, but that Mr.. Brown now has the
inside track 10 an indisputable fact and his
friends are confident of his success. They
win have TO work, however, for Mr..
Hodges il game and he and his friends

Messrs. Editors As the time approaches
for the nomination Of candidate for Gov
ernor, it behoves every loyal son of the
grand old State Of Maryland that be should
bestir himself and see 10 il that the very
best man for the Office shall procure the
nomination. One who would do credit TO
the exalted position and give his time and
faculties solely 20 the Transaction of the
duties connected herewith. One who
would not stop at the mere formality of CO.
ing through the transaction of his execu.
tive duty as laid down for him, but one
thoroughly converssnt with the living is
sues Of the times. Such a man can be
found in the person ofex-Postmaster Frank
Brown.
In the past he has proven conclusively
that whenever his duty calls him he has
never been found wanting, either in point
of intelligence and good judgment or in
tegrity and perseverance.
We opine that during the next admin.
istration Of State government there will be
questions 70 be settled of vital importance
10 every citizen constituent thereto, and
especially 10 those of our own county.
Foremost among these will be the question;
the State Tobacco Warehouse problem;
and that in respects to the re-assessment
Of property and equalization Of taxation
all Of which have been cause Of agitation
heretofore and are questions particularly
important TO Southern Maryland.
Mr.. Brown is well able 10 cope with these
questions and no man in the State would
be better qualified to procure proper So
luton Of them.
If the National Senate will desist
from the passage Of the "Force Bill" the
Worlds Fair" at Chicago should also
claim its share of attention. In this mat
ter all eyes should at once turn involunta-
rily to Mr.. Brown. As instigator and
President Of the Maryland Industrial Ex-
hibition" Of 1899, he particularly endeared
himself to the grateful public for the un-
selfish interest he manifested in the ad-
vancement of the general welfare of his
people. His experience in this direction
would insure a creditable showing for our
State at the "World's Fair" and he Is in
every particular the man suitable to repre-.
sent this portion of the State; and our peo-
pie, especially the farmers, and they should
See that all honorable means be used to
procure his nomination and election
Therefore, fellow.farmers, see that you
send delegates to the convention who will
not turn deaf ear to the popular will.
Yours respectfully,
FARMER.
