Bryan and Watson fill the bill. No
two men stand higher; no two will be
more satisfactory at this time. If
Bryan is good enough Populist to get

probably Bryan's, too. Are you ready

Rev. N. II. D. Wilson denies the
statement that it costs a million sound
dollars to convert each Chinaman, but
says that it would be money we'll spent
if it did cost that much. We will not

statements, but let's try to convert the
Wall street denizens first.

1T OUGHT TO WORK BOTH WAYS

Here's a good one from Hagerstown:
A nan went into a local lawyer off, e
the other day to borrow So, 900, Offering
as security a mortgage on a $40, 900
property. The lender demanded that
the words payable in gold be inserted
in the mortgage" The borrower said
he did not object. After the mortgage
was drafted the lender drew up a check
for s. 900. The borrower scanned it
and, handing it back. demanded that
it be made payable in gold, saying,
since he vas obliged to pay back in
gold, he thought it justice that he
should be paid in gold. The lender
said his banker would not cash the
check in gold, whereupon he tore up
his mortgage and the lender tore up
his check. The deal could not be made.
The borrower had no d fiji Guilty, how,
ever, in getting s., 1000 on a so, 900
property and he was not required to
pay the debt in gold.

What are we coming to7 A news
paper reporter resented something said
in a sermon by a preacher at Macon,
Ga the other night, proceeded to the
pulpit and gave the preacher a drub-
Ding. Up North, we forget where, a
preacher remarked in a sermon that
the free coinage of silver would send
the country to the deminition bow
vows, and it hadn't hardly passed his
lips before one of the brethren was on
top of him with both feet and a general
free fight followed. No doubt sUuue
preachers need a little well directed
muscle now and then, but it is carry
ing the thing too far to convert the
sacred interior of a church into a prize
ring.

a Plea for Charlotte Hall.

To the Pub9tc.-We earnestly solicit your
patronage. in behalf Of Charlotte Hall
School. We do not claim il on sentimen-
tai grounds-although it is but natural for
people TO cherish feeling of pride and
ven@ration for an Institution founded for
their benefit 1913 years ago, and continuous
" engaged in the education of the people
of this State for 100 years.
II is not sound economy 10 send your
money to distance, when you can spend
it at home, where it may come back to you
in the course OF circulation, and, in the
mean time, contribute to the support of
home institutions.
All Southern Marylanders have special
interest in Charlotte Hall School:
l. Because they need home institution
for the higher education of their sons.
2. Because the prosperity of this and
every other institution in Southern Mary
Maryland contributes to the general pros.
perity Of the people. How so? Suppose
Charlotte Hall had 100 boarding pupils

$4,000 to your circulation. Ask your
merchants and other business men if this
would give any impetus to business and re.
lief 10 hard times.
We have not 100 boarders. and the
school never has been 50 large, but can
safely assert that, if South Marylanders
would give us the patronage which na,ur.
ally flows here, Charlotte Hall would cas-.
lily run up 10 100 boarders without count.
ing in Others. But il should be remember.
cd that Washington, Baltimore, and parts Of
Virginia have always been liberal feeders
TO Charlotte Hall-indeed, they have been
the sole support of this School for wears.
therefore, we may safely say, that if South
ern Maryland will do her part by Charlotte
Hall, we can have $50 or more pupils.
Is there any reason why you should no,
paironize Charlotte Hall? Let US see
As 20 low terms-board and wash al the

my Western home to the great me-
tropolis of the nation to accept

nomination given in this city but a

ly expressed in the words of your
chairman, who though q republican
heretofore, is a patriot today.
'And to those Of your brethren,
who like you are the bone and sin

ing and tell them that you are their
friends and that you will stand by
them and help them to emancipate
themselves from the domination
from which they suffer. I can GO
to them and tell them that you
draw your idea of what this nation
ought to be from one of the great
philosophers Of the East. / can
repeat TO them as repeat TO you,
the language Of Ralph Waldo En-
erson. He says:
/ will have never a noble,
No lineage counted great;
Fishers and choppers and plowmen
Shall constitute a State"
"Upon this enduring foundation
can be reared a government like
ours. can take to your Eastern
brethren greeting, and in the Ian
guage of Abraham Lincoln, can
say that the people of the West and
South are ready to join with the
people of the East in declaring that
q government Of the people, by the
people and for the people, shall not
perish from the EARTH"

youth The grounds are broad. thus per-
hitting range FOR exercise which few
schools can afford. yet, most important 10
the exigencies Of youth. The boarding
Accommodations are ample, affording COM
Portable homes for the students. I am
aware that some have prejudice against
boys boarding at different houses-the
writer would prefer 10 have them under
one rccf, because the military regime could
be better enforced-Yet he frankly confess
Is the present arrangement has many adj
vantages. For one thing The students may
have the benefits OF family influence which
50 many esteem, and those who prefer to
have their sous under the direct control OF
q teacher, can easily effect such arrange
men, with the Principal or with the Stew
ard, Prof J. F. Coad.
Space will not permit me 10 enter into
many details of interest and Importance.
In conclusion, let me say that, II you want
thorough advantages and substantial: re
turn for little money, send to Charlotte
Hall. If you will give this old institution
your support by speaking only kind words,
by opposing harsh and unjust criticism,
by sending your sons to Charlotte Hall in.
stead of sending them to more distant
point, the roll of students will number
ab>ve 100 and this institution will become
more prosperous thar ever in the past
The people Of Southern Maryland should
remember that the destiny of Charlotte
Hall is in their hands-they can make or
mar it-they can, by their support and &C.
tive interest, remedy any and every defect
they can institute and develop any re,
form and improvement
Your duty and your interest are parallel
in ibis case. Send your sons to Charlotte
Hall for higher education.

witnessed even in that great city,
and at Pittsburgh there was anoth-

along the line seemed anxious to
honor the candidate and, almost
without exception, the people ap-
peared to desire his success. II
popular demonstrations are any in
