Political Sensation.

Cath" aroused II considerable sen.
sation in Maryland political circles
this week by the publication of an
interview with A. P. German, in which
the Great Sphinx is credited with the
lengthiest effort of his life.
He was never before known TO say
so much.
In justice to him, therefore, the
tissue placed to his credit was very un-
Gormanlike, in matter as well as eX-
tent.
But it will be some time before he
gets well of it.
For the old roadsters-the simon
pures. the incorruptibles und unde-
fields, are roasting him in the cruciblc
of history to heat that is white.
This is, therefore, critical period
i'll his career.
In attempting to scale the pres
idency he is daring the forces of intel
lectual and moral gravitation, which
always drive premature, overgrown or
unworthy aspirations down to an un-
willing hunt for their true level.
He can never be president-for two
reasons:
|. The democratic party cannot af-
ford to nominate him.
.. No man with his political record
can be elected

Wantcd-Good Roads.

While the action of the Maryland
Legislature on the road question is de
layed. the roads themselves afford
ample proof that some action is need
ed, The spring season, of all others
tries the country roads. Between the
winters frost and March rams the
rural highway becomes u sort of
Slough of Despond," through which
the luckless farmer wallows with in
finite trouble from his home to market.
In other words, the absence of good
roads i'll all parts of Maryland is pain
fully apparent, and should admonish
the Legislature that a good road law
is one of the greatest needs of the com
monwealth. Maryland can never de-
velop as it should agriculturally and
lndustrlally until proper provision is
made in law for road construction and
maintenance. No St0te question tran
sends tin Importance.
The utility of good roads has been
commented upon often, but recent
writer III the Forum has told his read
ers what they will accomplish in any
community. Railroads. he said in sub
stance, need better wagon-roads for
feeders. farmers need them for access
to the railroad and to market, manu-.
ufacturers need them as transp0rta
ton routes to less populous areas. mer-
chants need them as a means of slim
ulating trade, and the people need
them for the reduction of the expense
in satisfying their wants and for the
more efficient distribution of neces-
saries and luXuries of life.
This is no exaggeration of the value of
good highways. and the members of
the Legislature should need no prompt
ing IN a matter where the public is to
be so universally benefited. There
may he no political advantage to be
derived from the passage OF q wise and
comprehensive road law for the whole
State, but such a measure would re-
donnd to the development OF the com
monwealth i'll more ways than one.
The enactment of a good road law is
one of the duties which the members
Of the Legislature owe to their con-
stituents. Baltimore HetaM.

Dangerous Business.

The battle on that pest of the rot-
ting track, the ringer" was begun
long ago by Maine, and it remains for
the rest of the country to follow the
example set by the Pine Tree State.
The people of Maine over year ago
decided not to let an industry like the
breeding Of trotting horses be killed
by the operations, on the track, of I'M
scrupulous gamblers, and took Il bill
before the Legislature which made the
entering of a horse out of his class or
nnder false name Il felony and
punishable by the confscation of the
horse, with imprisonment for the
parties concerned. BY making the in
former in such case an offer of a
money return it is evident that it is
hard for an offender to get away with
"a job" and it being a felony. he can
be arrested in any part of the country.

a singularly pure and beautiful life

come, the gentle charity and unstinted
beneyolence and compassion in word

acterstlcs of that life, remain like the
fragrance of flower in the memories
of us all, and her works follow her to
the throne of Him who saith of the I'M
selfish sister of LAZARUS she hath
done what she could" Soquietly were
her deeds of kindness accomplished
that few knew their extent, but where
ever there was sorrow, need, sickness,
or any other adversely, it was her
pleasure to administer all the consoa-
ton in her power. God only knows
how many dying eyes have looked
their last into her bright. cheerful face
pointing them to 1.-The Lamb of God
who taketh away the sins of the
word"
"Through scenes of sorrow, by beds of death
Where foul contagious pois'n nous breath
Filled the air with a deadly faint
Listening the heart-thrObS weak and FAINT,
Caring for others, herself instead.
Simple her life, and plain to to tell,
She knew her duty and did it well.
She was the purest-minded person
have ever known, and | have no doubt
is now face to face with the blessed
Saviour who said" blessed are the
pure in heart, for they shall see God"
and we who remain have every reason
to bless His Holy Name, for one more
saint departed this life in His faith
and fear, beseeching Him to give us
grace to follow her good example that
with her we may dwell with Him in
life everlasting.

times brighter, the journal kept. the ledger
balanced, the star twinkled and general
peaceful review of current events sent abroad
by courier i'll an independent, gentlemanly
manner all over the county. Everybody
loved every body, and what was the result?
An Editors Association was formeCand the
pictures of the editors taken in a group, and
everything was too smooth for anything. 1t
was too sweet and loving to last long.
Inside of six months every man Jack of
that lot were fighting and they have been at
it ever since. Each day makes it 'wuss and
wuss."
