Pleased with the Connty-w.H.v.

Pleased With the County w H Van
deiord, proprietor OF the Westminster lido
cate, was in the county last week as the guest
of Southern Maryland Development Company.
He was in Port Tobacco for short time and
in conversation he stated to us that he was
much pleased with the county, its people and
lands, and was greatly surprised TO fad that
the county was not, as be had always believ-
ed, great tract of low and marshy lands
The statement of Mr. Yandeford proves. What
We have often said through these columns,
that through the failure and neg
ligence of our people to properly advertise and
make known the kind of soil and climate with
VIII oh we have been blessed by kind Proyi-
denee, false impression has got into the
minds of the most intelligent people, even Of
our own State, about us, which will not be re-
moved until we do so ourselves. Waiting for
State aid is to say the least, rather absurd,
for, it is well established axiom that God
helps those only who help themselves.

Helpless and Friendless Mary Cath
arue Iorseman, bright locking girl fifteen
years old, made her appearance at the South
ern Police Station, and requested to be sent to
some institution. She said her parents were
dead, and she had no friends to go to. She is
from Washington city, and had been down in
Charles county. She came to Baltimore about
a week ago, and lived with family until Il
boil on her arm prevented her from working
She said her only relative was brother,
eighteen gears old, who is in an insane asy-
lum in Washington. She was given over to
the care of the Henry Watson Aid
Society. american,
The girl above named formerly lived in
Benedict and her mother is now confined in
the Spring Grove Asylum for the insane. The
brother alluded to is an inmate Of st. Eliza
beth Insane Asylum in the District Of Column
bia He made his escape from the Asylum
about twelve months ago, but was captured
and returned to that Institution By Sheriff Ad-
ans Insanity is hereditary in the family
and doubtless the young girl who was taken
charge of by the Baltimore society, will soon
er or later fall victim to the terrible malady
which has stricken her mother and brother.

"This sounds like Mr.. MILLS" remarks
the Republic, land II he did not say it. he
ought to have said it,
II our esteemed contemporary is so ready
to quote with approval all that Mr.. ROGER
@. MILLS may utter in his widest moments
OF berserker enthusiasm. why did 1t take
the trouble to draw its blue pencil carefully
and heavily through one of the most sig
niticant passages in the platform of which
tho above is tho mutilated remainder? We
refer to Mr. M1LLs's dictum OF 1890 concern
ing income taxation:
Levy tax on incomes and the wealthy men Of the
country and you'll see prosperity"
The Republic should restore this essential
part Of Mr.. MILLs's political creed to its
proper place. The income tax proposition
belongs just after Mr.. MIELs's announce
ment that :" We must hare absolute free
trade" and just before his declaration. II
beliere in free trade"
We observe. by the way, that during Mr..
MILIs's recent expedition into Long Island.
in search OF votes and under the pilotage OF
that eminent friend OF American Industries.
Mr.. THOMAS G. SHEARMAN. the free trade
candidate for Speaker was reported as re-
marking to a Brooklyn clergyman: " am
not free trader. That is connection OF
the enemy"
In view of the uttcranccs quoted above, it
is incredible that Mr.. MILLS has made any
statement OF that sort to a Brooklyn clergy
man or to anybody else. Like many other
respectable cranks he prides himself espe-
cially on his moral and Intellectual courage.
and it Is not probable that after telling the
people OF Minnesota that we must have abb
solute free trade and that he believes In
free trade. he Is ready to swallow his own
words and his self-respect in any such
fashion. Why, he would at once lose the
valuable esteem Of the Republic.
But the Republic must accept Mr.. MILLS
Just as no is. income tax crank as we'll as
free trade crank. To present him as free
trade crank merely. suppressing his avowed
opinions about income taxation. Is to de.
prive its Missouri readers of part OF their
moneys worth. to say nothing of the injus-
tice to MILLS.
