Government Building
ColIapses. Clerks
Killed.

The quiet of Washington
was suddenly changed into a
scene of horror on Friday
morning last. The Ford's
theatre building, now used by
the government, tumbled in
carrying the hundreds Of occu-
pants, government employees,
down under the death trap
without a moments warning.
Twenty-seven years ago, on
the same day of the week,
this building was the scene Of
the tragic death of Abraham
Lincoln, at the hands Of John
Wilkes Booth. and as the re-
mains of Edwin Booth, his
brother. were borne to their
last resting place another
calamity occurred on the same
spot in the death of some 40
persons with many more badly
brvised and fatally injured.
A great loss of life. untold
suffering and indescribable
anguish resulted not by any
accident. but solely attribnta-
bic to gross carclessness and
neglect on the part of the
government. This building
was some time back con-
demmed and declared unfit
for the storage of government
archives. yet, it was allowed
to remain. not for the storage
of papers. but for the daily
operation Of several hundred
individuals. This is another
sad remainder of the impor-
tance of doing at once what
is essential for the protection
OF life. 1t is unfortunate that
such heavy strokes are neces-
sary to impress the public
mind with the Importance of
prompt action, however, such
is this case. Now weeks will
be consumed in fixing the
causes the result will be,
gross neglect.

COUNTY POLITICS.

Saturday, and the Courty
Convention on Tuesday fol
lowing: 1t will be the duty of
this convention to nominate a
candidate for State Senator,
three candidates for the Leg
islature. one for Sheriff, five
for County Commissioners,
one for Wreckmastcr and one
for County Surveyor, also to
appoint delegates to the State
Convention which will nomi-
nate a Comptroller. Delegates
to represent this county in
the judicial convention which
will nominate the successors
of Chief Judge Page and
Associate Judge Lloyd will be
appointed.
For the first place on the
ticket-State Scnator,-Col.
John Walter Smith is the
unanimous choice of the peo-
pie. He made such a brilliant
record during the last session
of the Legislature that his
name has become familiar in
every household in the State.
His Free School Book Bill,
which passed both houses by
tremendous majorities. but
was vetoed by Governor
Brown. will no doubt be again
introduced by Mr.. Smith with
every prospect of a speedy
passage and becoming a law
in spite of opposition by the
Governor. if there be any.
We believe that Gov. Brown
would now gladly sign the
bill and therefore fear no
objection from him. his objec-
ton before being a lack of
funds TO carry out its provis-
ions. Col. Smith is with the
people on the Tax question
and can be depended on to
serve their interests faithfully.
The prospects are that he will
be nominated by the conven-
ton and at the polls will
receive the strongest endorse
ment ever accorded a citizen
OF the county.
Probably as much interest
is manifested in the approach
ing judicial convention, by
the people of Worcester
County, as anything which
has been brought before them
for years. Our county sadly
feels the need of a Judge. 1t
is a matter of Justice that we
should have one and with the
bar and public opinion cen
tered upon one man for that
high office in the person OF
Clayton ]. Purnell, Esq, we
can see very little in the way
Of his nomination. Mr..
Purnell's legal talent makes a
favorable impression where
ever it is exhibited. In a
recent interview with an emf
nent Baltimore lawyer. and
one holding high official posi-
ton in the State, he said to
us concerning our candidate,
"Mr. Purnell is regarded by
the legal profession of Balti-
more as one of the ablest and
best read lawyers in the
State" Considering therefore
the general availability and
acceptibility of Mr.. Purnell,
the people of this county
should certainly see that moth
ing is left undonc that will
work out the success of his
candidacy.
Therefore, with SO many i'm
portant offices to fill and bear
ing in mind the Importance OF
exercising your privilege as a
Democrat. let everyone attend
the primaries next Saturday.
Don't think because the way
appears smooth and the inter
est lags that you can afford
to remain away from the
primaries. We warn you not
to do it. Attend your prima
rics and you will never have
cause to regret it if your dis
trict should disappoint you,
and send men To the County
Convention who are not your
choice.

Over 1000 men in the Carnegie

about forty per cent after the LIST

the low prices of the foreign made

ception in the entire industrial

must come down to the old world
