War on the Bosses.

The campaign this year in more States
than Maryland and other cities than Bal
timore appears to be war OIL corrupt
politics, bad government and boss rule
more than struggle purely between
parties. This thing has become intoler-
able and the people threaten to rise
against it en- mass. In this State the
republican slogan is war to the knife
against German and Rasin and Germans
county bosses who are located in every
county of the State and act as his satraps.
When numbers of such men as Pinkney
White declare on the stand they are going
to vote republican ticket for the sole
purpose of shaking off the unbearable
burden of a political boss and breaking
up a system of political corruption that is
elting out the vitals of the State and ma
ton, the storm hasrisen above party. This
movement on the part of such men as
White does not mean that they propose
permanently uniting with the republican
party. They temporarily will join with
any forces that will serve their purpose in
this revolt to break up corrupt ring that
has seized and is poisoning the source of
American freedom which is the election
ballot. This Maryland, and other similar
gangs i'll other cities and States, have
seized the ballot boxes and pollute and
defeat the elective franchise by bribery
and false ballots, false counts and false
returns. This corruption has spread all
over the country. In the Southern States
there has not been an honest election for
twenty-five years, and this is also true of
every large city in the country. These
spasmodic risings of the indignant people,
like what is taking place in Baltimore,
New York, Brooklyn, Philadelphia ct. al,
can serve only temporary purpose. 1t
is the system that is the root of the evil,
and the evil will only be scotched by
these spasmodic uprisings. The men
which corrupt practices have placed in
positions OF trust, demanding honesty
and conscientious performance of duty
will not be driven out OF their places till
the storms quiet down, and the same or
similar class will find their way to the
front by the old methods.
Oar representative system has proven
melancholy failure. The majority rule
has been the parent of the caucus, the
lobby, and the means by which the worst
elements of society have seized the gov
ernment and sell the peoples rights to
the highest bidder. The system of ma
jority rule will have to be changed to
more just and equitable one, i'll which
minorities will have representation and
a fair share at least of society's best citi
zens can be placed in power and kept
there. The people must strike for more
direct legislation if they hope to preserve
their liberties and this nation republic.
The reforms now agitating the public
mind, if won can never be guarded and
secured under the present corrupt system
of majority rule and irresponsible repre-
sentative government. The people to
far greater extent than at present must
become their own lawmakers by direct
legislation, and the time is ripe for a
strong movement on the legislature at its
next session for an amendment to the
constitution which will permit needed
reforms being inaugurated..

The Peoples Party Ticket.

There was lots of pickering and some
uncertainty about getting the Peoples
party ticket on the election ballot 1t
was finally given place and is the fourth
in the line, having no emblem at the top
The emblem is only for the purpose of
directing persons who can't read. They
can recognize a picture and vote the
picture. The Peoples party voters are
readers. They don't need signs to guide
them. They cast their votes for principle.
The Social Labor ticket is the fifth on
the ballot with the emblem of an appraised
arm and hammer. The Social Labor
party is composed of trade unions in Bal
timore city and there is no utilization as
to party. The direct object of both those
tickets is to secure sufficient per cent of
the popular vote to entitle them to place
on the ballots in future without resorting
to the tedious process of collecting names
to petition, scheme resorted to by the
party bosses to shut out, if possible, all
but their own parties.
The Social Labors have nothing outside
of Baltimore city, where they have full
city ticket, but their petition of 500 or
more signers entities them to a place OIL
the State ballot.
We appeal to the Peoples party voters,
and there are many in this county, to
vote the State ticket of the Peoples party
by making the X i'll the square to the right
of the party name and select the county
candidates as they think best from the
other tickets. If any desire to vote for
one of the State candidates mark the
other two on the Peoples party ticket.
If one per cent of the vote of the State
f., 5oo) is polled for the Peoples party this
year it will entitle the ticket next year to
a place on the ballot when Presidential
and Congressional election will be held.
This is the main reason for polling as
strong a vote as possible this year.
AS to the candidates for Governor on
the old tickets, they are all goldbug men,
and they are opposed to an assessment
bill that will catch the property of cor
porations and coupon clippers, as it
catches and bleeds the farmers The only
remedy for these two evils which prey so
on the working agricultural class is estab-
fishing the principles enunciated by the
Peoples party. And we ask every man
who struggles for bread to cast his vote as
the initial shot, the opening fire on the
picket line of the on-coming battle of
right against wrong, ofpoverty and indus
try against the unjust oppression of con-
centrated wealth. Ask your neighbor to
vote the ticket and work for it on election

QUASSAPAUG LAKE, THE WALLACE HOUSE
 AND THEIR MANY ATTRACTIONS.

That Lake Quassapaug and the Wal lace house, situated delightfully."- near the waters edge of the lake, and of which George w. Wallace is the propri- etor, are becoming more popular each year, was attested by the fact that when the house and grounds were for mally opened on Decoration day, this year, the attendance was by far the largest that ever visited this beautiful spot on similar day. It is not to be wondered at that the Wallace house is growing more and more popular. Mr Wallace, the proprietor, is an old veter- an in the business, and while not an old man, he has had the experience, and by it's guidance keeps first class resort. His house is model of neatness and comfort and each year has seen many new Improvements. This year he has put in new steam plant and re-arrapg- ed the office. The grounds have been improved. His boats have been added to until now he has large and fine fleet, in addition to his elegantly fitted steam launch. MT Wallace has aceommoda-

At this point all interest centered in the flag, which swiftly and surely rose to it's place and as Miss Ida Wood took the hal yards and unfurled it to the breeze the hearty cheers with which it was greeted showed that the 11S eventful years had in no wise diminished the affection which every American citizen has for the ssStar Spangled Banner" Impromptu speeches by the clergymen of the town, Mr Pills bury, MT Swan, MT Shaw and the princi- pal of the Academy, Mir Luther of the Congregational church, were all heartily applauded. as was the very spirited reef tatiop by Miss Wood.

By this route it is not very hilly and makes pleasant. and easy drive.
