DRYDEN's CONTEST.

The Somerset Herald, which is surely
in u position to know the truth about
the alleged Somerset county election
frauds, discusses at length the position
of Mr.. DRYDEN and gives him some
good healthy advice. The Herald is
an honest non-partizan newspaper and
its statement will he received wherever
read as nothing less than the truth.
Here it is:
at is stated that Mr.. \. Lincoln
Dryden will make a contest for the
seat i'm the 5ith Congress to which Mr.
Joshua w. Miles was elected last
Tuesday by over 1000 majority. In
fact. Mr.. Dryden in an interview with
Baltimore Ne'cs correspondent de-
clared that t was his purpose to make
such contest. We do not know who
are the indiscreet friends and advisers
of Mr.. Dryden urging him to such q
foolish contest, but we do know that
Republicans in this part of Somerset
do not countenance the proposed con-
test. There is really no ground for
such procedure. The effort to unseat
Mr.. Miles could only result in dis
graceful failure and bring discredit
and odium upon the promoters of the
scheme. There was certainly no fraud
in the recent political contest in Som
erset county, either in the registration
of voters, or in the casting or counting
If votes. notwithstanding certain
insinuations TO the contrary, the officers
Of election were honorable men who
discharged their duties fairly and
honestly. The talk of repeaters is
worse than nonsense. Ii is simply
malicious SANDER. A repeater in Som.
ersct county politics is still an unknown
factor and everybody with decent
regard for the truth admits the fact.
As to the charge of bribery we can
only say that in this district, at least,
each side seemed to be ready to do its
hest along this line although there was
less money used than is usual in closely
contested elections. Money did not
decide the contest in this Congressional
district. The Democrats have been
electing their candidates in the First
Congressional district of MARYLAND
without a break at every election since
the war. The majority has many
times been under 1900 and once was
less than 800 hut the result has always
been accepted because Eastern Shore
people sre not given to thwarting the
will Of the people by fraud and they
will not brook an attempt To upset the
verdict of the people fairly expressed.
As To Somerset county, the official
returns show that Joshua W. Miles
ran ahead oi' his ticket in almost every
district. In some of them not one
cent was used by Democrats for any
purpose and il is worse than libel
upon the people OF those districts to
charge them with election frauds OF
any kind. We are to have another
election in this county within year
an important one-and the politician
who expects Ia look the honest voters
of Somerset in the face and ask for
their support would do well not to
question the honesty Of their verdict in
the late contest of Miles VS. Dryden
Joshua w. Miles has won a great
victory in Somerset county and his
iriends-and they are II numerous
host-are Justly indignant at The ut
tempt tn strip him OF its value by
groundIcss charges of fraud"

Between the Rival Editors or the

A spirited scrap occurred yesterday
morning at the university between the
editors of the Gapner, Junior annual.
and the editors of the Ariel, the college
paper. The rumpus began over the
ownership of some furniture which had
been In the Gopher room. and which
each faction claimed. A portion of the
furniture was secured Wednesday by
one of the Ariel editors. aud this started
tie row.
Early yesterday morning some of the
Gopher editors gained entrance TO the
Ariel room and took away not only the
furniture which had been taken from
them, but also everything else i'll the
room except the carpet. As soon as the
Ariel people found what had been done
there was declaration of war, and they
made raid upon the Gnpher room.
The door gave way and then the fight
began. There We're OILY three OF the

+ ereo an opening address. in which he

scendant of Col. James Barrett, OF Con-
cord. and recited the historical events

The Decision Will BRING Peace

The Law Has Been the Cause
OF Riot and Death.

COLUMBIA, S. c.. April 10. The Till
man state dispensary liquor law has
been declared uncOnstit tional by the
supreme court of South Carolina, two
justices concurring and one ('rillmanite)
member Of the supreme bench dissent
Ing from the opinion. The decision was
rendered by Chief Justice McIver,
Justice McGowah asserting. Justice
Pope (the Tillman justice) dissents.
The decision was rendered in COM
posite case composed of case orig
mating in Darlington and appealed to
the supreme court by the state author
lies. and of several minor cases. like
wise appealed by the state. The ground
on which the law is declared unconsti-
tuti0nal is that it creates monopoly
for the state. Justice Mclver's decision
declares the law unconstitutional in
nearly every respect, and specially
holds that it cannot be upheld OH any
vital point. The profit to the state feat
ure Is declared vicious.
Gov. Tiliman says he is not talking;
that it is time only for action.
WASHINGTON, April 19.-'the South
Carolina delegation in congress was
thrown INTO CONSERVATION OIL receipt of
kilograms stating that the supreme
court of the state had declared the DIS
penSary liquor law unconstitutional.
The dispensary law has been such
supreme issue in South Carolina. ac-
centuating party lines. that the con-
gressmen from that state regard the
decision as
PROFOUNDLY IMPORTANT.
Mr.. McLaurin, who. as former at
t0rney general, is familiar with the
case. and has all the briefs on which the
decision was tased, said: "The essen
tial point in the case was whether the
state had the right to engage in tht,
whisky business as means of profit
and TO raise state revenue. No one
doubted the power to regulate the bnsi-
ness for police purposes. hut the legal
point was made that the state could )
more 90 into the whisky business for
profit than it could go into the shoe or
hat or any other business enterprise. Ii
Is probable that the decision hinged OH
personal reverse for Gov. Tillman. He
was simply executing the law as he
found it. He did not make the law. but
the legislature enacted it and 1t Was his
duty to execute it,"
Representative Isler, one of the con-
| seryative or anti-Tillman party of
the state, said that the decision would
| undoubtedly bring peace to much
disturbed state. The law had been
| source of political division and indivld-
! ual contentious. Ti:is had brought but
disorder and riot within the state and
much criticism of South Carolina from
the country at large.
Representative Talhert, of the reform
or Tiliman party, said: Il think the
decision will have the effect of strength
ening the reform party. On its face 1t
appears To he reverse. and it will un-
doubtely appear that the decision is
| biased. and it will excite such feeling in
! the state that the reform element will
| eventually De -benefted.'

Early Yesterday morning Ada Bah.

a terrible manner by freight cars in the
Northern Pacific yards. She was taken
to Asbury hospital. and about noon she
died. Tie little girl. whose parents
live in the vicinity of the tracks, had
left the house early TO play. She went
down to the railroad yards aud crcpt

there was no engine attached. When the
engine backed down the yardmen heard
scream, and rushing back found the
girl.
The remains were taken to the county
morgue, ana this morning an inquest
