Five-Thousand Offices.

When LLOYD I.owndes becomes Gov
ernor of MARYLAND, next January, he will
have more offices to fill than the new
Governors of all the other States conbin-
ed
BY reason of the great negro strength
in some of the counties, it has been the
practice of the Democrats to concentrate
the government in the hands of the Gov
ernor. Then, too, whenever county
would 90 Republican, the Democrats
would rush bill through the Legislature
transferring the appointments to the Gov
ernor.
In this way several of the county treas
urers, all the local school boards, the
liquor license commissioners and the po-
lice magistrates and justices of the peace
for Baltimore city are named by the Gov
ernor.
The Governor also names all the cleo
ton officers, giving him control OF the
election machinery of the State.
The total number of appointments Gov.
Lowndes will control approximates 5000.
For instance he appoints the election su-
pervisors, who in turn appoint the cleo
ton officers. The local school boards are
appointed in like manner by school COM
1nissioners named by the Governor.
Gov. Lowndes is elected for four years,
his annual salary being S4,5oo. During
his term there will be two sessions OF the
Legislature, the first one convening next
January. AS that body is now Republi
can, it is not unlikely that the system OF
Capitalization of appointive power i'll the
Governor hands, begun and fostered by
the Democrats. will be changed.

Election Day Echoes.

The new law that allows election Off
GERS pay for only one day worked to per-
fection in getting out the election re-
turns at an early hour. When an cleo
ton officers finds that he can count the
votes by ten O'Clock, and that if he de-
lays the count until after midnight he
will not get an extra day for it, he is going
to hustle that count out by ten O'Clock,
and go up street to hear the news.
Each of the seven justices OF the Su-
perior Court receives a salary OF $o2
per month Their commissions date
from the first of July last, yet they will
not sit or do lick OF work nntil the last
of the present month. job on that
bench may be designated as large pud-
ding.
That was neat trick that the drum
mer served OH a party of his friends on
election day. He was i'll an Office. and
after the funny stories had been swap
ped, and the half dozen present had each
told his original joke, the drummer said
in a cheerful tone: well. those are all
pretty good stories, and they deserve
some reward. Let's go and get drink.
We'll go you" was the chorus, and
they all seized their hats and trooped out
after the drummer, He led them to the
nearest place where liquid refresh
ments were dispensed, and they were all
telling pretty good until they saw sign
on the door; This is election day. The
bar is closed" Then they all looked
one at the other, and didn't say word
And the drummer? He knew It all the
time.
"One of the sources of great annoyance
to an election officer is the slipshod way
in which assessors write the names OF
voters, said man one day last week.
81 was one of the clerks at the election
on Tuesday and it is an actual fact that
out of every five names two OF them were
either spelled wrong or they had wrong
|
it gave the voter annoyance that he
should not have experienced If the as
SCISSORS had written the name correctly
in the first place. Another thing that
the assessors failed to do was to assess
old citizens who had lived in the precinct
for years. In a number of instances old
men were astonished to learn that their
names were not on the registry list and
they could not account for 1t. They
were certain that they had given their
names, to the assessor, and they could
not understand it. The system of as
sessing is all right, bnt when careless
assessor gets to work he causes endless
trouble. 1t is not difficult to get mans s
name correctly the first time and write it
the same way every time"

One day last week the three year old
daughter of Mrs. Adam Snyder, living
near Rochester Pa, swallowed a large
quantity OF stuff used for blueing clothes.
The dose apparently did no harm until
within few days past. when the child
began to turn blue all over her body. At
irst it was pale blue, then a deep sky
blue, and now it is a navy blue. The
doctor says its the stuff oozing out through
her skin. and when it is all out the child
will get white again.
At Portville, six miles south of Olean,
last Sunday evening, the II year old
daughter of G. d. Simmons, mill hand,
was wheeling 10month-old baby across
the Western New York & Pennsylva1ia
railroad bridge toward home. Her 5-year-
old brother was with her. When half way
across the bridge fast freight came in
sight. The scared girl let go of the baby
carriage, grabbed her brother and buried
him off the track.
She did not have time to save both.
The engineer saw the baby carriage and
reversed his engine, but too late. The
engine and forty cars passed over the car
rage and ground it into pieces. In some
unaccountable way the baby fell between
the bridge timbers, inside the rails, and
was found tightly wedged and securely
held b, four iron cross bars. The only
injury sustained by the child was slight
cut on the forehead
