The Western Shore papere, in
Mentioning the names of prominent
men, in connection with the Repub-
lican gubernatorial nomipatlon
overlook the fact that the Eastern
Shore is still in existence; but when
the convention assemblies, our friend
over the Bay, will realize that the
Eastern Shore does exist, and will
be there in a surprisingly lively
manner, and present a candidate of
ner own, most likely the Hon.
Charles 7. Wescott, of Kent.-Dor-
chester Standard.
The Hon. Charles Il. Wescott, of
Kent, would make winning candi-
date for governor, but it is doubtful
if he could be prevailed on to allow
his name to 60 before the nominating
convention. The fight this fall will
be the people against corrupt Demo-
cratic ring rule and abuse of power,
and the Republican convention must
name a man who will have the con-
fidence of the people and merit their
support at the polls. Mr.. Wescott
and others on the Eastern Shore are
eminently worth this confidence.
The anti-ring Democrats have here
tofore tried to reform the party
within the party, but continued
failure has admonished then that to
succeed they must take some other
course. So now they will reform it
by giving the ring a thrashing from
the effects of which it will not
readily revive, and that is to drive
it from power by voting with the
opposition. 1t is imperative, then,
that the Republican party nominate
State ticket which will of itself in
vite the support of every good clti-
zen. -Easton Gazette.
And the man to head winning
ticket on the Republican side IS
found in the person of Hon. Lloyd
Lowndes, of Cumberland.

Business Men in Politics.

Any business man who attempts
to run his business as Congress runs
the affairs of the United States will
very speedily find himself an utterly
hopeless bankrupt, without credit
and without the means of getting
it.
Politicians and statesmen as a
general rule are not business men or
versed in the business affairs. We
need good lawyers, but not those
who are notorious for q mere
preponderance of language that is
exceeded in quantity only by that of
the professional politician. The

The Return of Prosperity.

Democratic contemporaries all
over this nation are Selling with
feverish grasp every bit of news that
seems to indicate that prosperity is
returning. Whenever a mill long
closed is reopened, editorial praise
of the Wilson bill is heard. If a
concern raises wages that were form
erly reduced the glories of the Will
son bill are resung. Democratic
papers are to-day on a steady hunt
for prosperity, and it must be ad-
mitted that they are finding it.
THE REPUBLICAN will admit that
prosperity is returning. Business
is slowly awakening.
But for prosperity to return, it
first had to depart. When did it
depart? Thisi is the question which
most interests the voter of to-day.
The nation knows that when Benja-
min Harrison left office there was
no fear of this late collapse of indus
try. Mills were running on full or
over time. No one spoke Of reduc-
ing wages. No industries feared
for their lives. When Grover Cleve-
land entered upon his second term
he found full treasury and happy
country. He found himself rein
forced with a Democratic Congress
that promised the nation untold
wealth. The work was undertaken.
The pail of Free Trade fell upon
the land. Mills began to close and
employers to cut down wages. Had
Free Trade been the outcome of
Democratic legislation there would
not be even the slight revival which
business assumes to-day. There
would have been no end to the panic
of '93 and '94.
Since the Wilson bill went into
effect the manufacturer who feared
entire Free trade and took precau-
tlonarY measures accordingly, has
learned what to fear and has
gone back to manufacturing, unless
the cut in his tariff was so great
that it allowed the enterance of for
eign goods into deadly competition
with the American goods. There
have been many such industries.
There has been no return Of pros
perity for them. They are dead.
There have been industries in
iured by the Wilson Tariff. BY the
Mckinley Tariff not a chimney
ceased to smoke, not a fire was
banked. No plants were transferred
to foreign shores in search of cheaper
labor when the Mckinley bill was
passed.
Yes, prosperity is returning.
The consumptive at times seems
brighter and stronger than usual,
but it is no return of health.

Complexion of the Senate.

The failure to elect a Republican
with clear title to the United States
Senate on the part of Delaware, isa
matter of disappointment to the
party leaders at Washington. Con
troll of the Senate is now postponed
until Utah can send her senators.
The vote of a Republican senator
from Delaware had been counted
upon next December, when 43
straight Republicans would have
only required two votes from men
generallyin harmony with the party
except on one issue.
Organization of the Senate is not
as important an object in party pol
itics as that of the House, and con-
sidering that the executive will still
be IN the hands of the Democrats

DEATH OF MRS. BROWN.
The Wife of the Governor Passes
Away In the Prime of Womanhood.

Away IN the FTifI10 OF WOtndlTOOOs
BALTIMORE, Nd, May 12.-Mrs.
Mary Ridgley Brown, wife of the
Hon. Frank Brown, Governor of
Maryland, died at the Hotel Rem
merit, Baltimore, at an early hour
Saturday morning. Her critical
illness had been reported several
days ago, and within the past forty
eight hours her attending physi-
clans, Drs. Howard A. Kelly, Otto
G. Ramsey, l. E. Atkinson and
William Osler, had abandoned
hope and addressed themselves to
making as painless as possible the
last hours of the sufferer.
Mrs. Brown had not been well for
over two years. The disease which
caused her death at the early age of
twenty-eight manifested itself dur
ing the first legislative session of
her husbands gubernatorial term,
but her great desire to support with
dignity her high social position was
the occasion of her series of bril-
liant entertainments in the winter
of 1912. At the session of 1894
her impaired health forbade a
renewal of these social occasions,
and during the past year she was
compelled almost to retire COM
pletely from society.
Mrs. Brown was the daughter of
the well-known David Ridgley, of
Baltimore. AS Miss Mamie Rldg-
ley she was noted for her beauty
and was one of the bellies of the
city. When she was only fourteen
she spent three years finishing her
education at Wiesbaden, Germany.
She returned to Baltimore in 1874,
and with her parents resided in the
winter at the Carrollton Hotel, and
in the summer at her fathers resi-
dence in the country.
Soon after her return from abroad
the late Horatio Wyman Preston, a
wealthy resident of Boston, began
paying her attentions and they were
married in 1877. Mr.. Preston's
health was poor, and trips to Cali
fornia and to Europe were of no
avail. While in Switzerland on
October II, 1878, Mr.. Preston died.
His will left all his estate to his
widow.
In December, 1879, the widow
gave her hand to Frank Brown,
then comparatively unknown in
State politics, but who was begin
ming to rise to his important posi-
ton. In July, 1892, while in
Baltimore on shopping tour, Mrs.
Brown had an attack of sunstroke
and was dangerously i'll at the
Hotel Rennert for several weeks.
She never entirely recovered from
this attack.
Mrs. Brown was a Lady Bounti-
full IN her bestowal of charity and
is q atefully remembered by hun
dreds whom she has personally
relieved. Her purse was always
open. Her son, Frank, Jr., who
has been at school in Alexandria;
her daughter, May, her husband
and DR.. Ramsey were at her bedside
when she passed away at $40
o'clock Saturday morning.
The funeral took place Monday
at IL o'clock at Christ's Protestant
Episcopal church, st. Paul and
Chase streets, Baltimore.
