The State EnCampment.

e,-tSi7s1r ,S4.z ss1r7a5 regiments comprising
the Maryland National Guard will
90 into their biennial State encamp-
ment at Frederick next Saturday.
The encampment will last week.
This will be the first regular en-
campment of the State militia since
its enforced active service at Frost
burg in 1894. The Fifty Regiment
held a pleasure camp at Cape May
last year, but the men of the regi-
ment betrayed the expenses of this
trip. The biennial encampment is,
however, strictly business. The
men have few liberty hours and the
strictest discipline is preserved
With it all, however, the Nationa
Guardsmen manage to enjoy theil
week of real soldering and enter
into the hard work with a will that
does them credit.

that transpires on these mountain
tops, west of Deer Park, of course.
On the morning of Jnl7 4th it had
no excursion trains running and
but one or two extra coaches tackled
on to the end of the east and west
bound accommodations. The crowd
of people that took passage from
here to Oakland filled the east
bound train to overlooking. All
that got aboard between here and
Oakland had to hang on, stand up,
lay down or get knocked off. The
west-bound train could not take
passenlg gers west of Piedmont for
Oakland because the train was over
crowded. when it left that place.
Then to cap the climax, the evening
accommodation west-bound (and
the only train that stops at this
point after noon), came creeping

stripes covered Il period of four years
and three months, during which he was
in seventeen battles, including the
siege Of Vicksburg. and received 4
wound in the left arm from minnie
ball ut the battle of Prairie Grove.
After the close of the war he went
to Troy, ILL.,, and engaged in book
keeping. In 1865 he made a trip to
Minnesota. where he was married to
Miss Katie McGannon; in 1867 he
moved to Minnesota. and settled on Il

Mr. Koerner's administration Of the
treasurpr's office during the past two
years has been such as to win the
hearty appreciation of all classes of
business men, without distinction Of

gently served the best interests of the
state and people, with Partially to
none, allowing no personal friendships
or prejudices to swerve him from 4
thorough administration of the states
finances upon the strictest business
principles. Though his first term of
office has included the financial strin-
gency that caused several banking in
situations to close their doors, the
states interests therein have been
managed with such ability as to in

The Price of Organs Triumph.

And at what price will this ultimate
result be gained in the case Of Mr.
Bryan's election? At the price of the
most violent and destructive crisis on
record. such a crisis as can only be
brought on by a sudden subversion of
the standard of values and of the
whole basis of credit At the price of
indefinite business paralysis and dis
treSs. At the price of the ruthless
spOliatiOn of the savings accumulated
by the tOiling masses. At the price of
rObbing our war veterans of half the
value of their pensions. At the price
Of greatly increasing the number of I'M
employed by discouraging enterprise.
and of curtailing the value of the
wages of those remaining at work. At
the price of the respect of, the world
for our intelligence and practical sense.
And worse, far worse than all this, at
tie price of something that has never
been forfeited since this republic was
bOrn-at the price of the greatest good
a nation can possess and for the pres
ervatiOn of which it should shed it's
last drop of blOod-at the price of our
national honor. For this nation, so
rich and powerful, would stand before
the world as WantOn, reckless repudi-
atOr, as nothing better than q fraudu-
lent bankrupt. This will be the cost
of the experiment. Are you willing to
pay this price?-Carl Schurz in Chi.

A Step Toward Fiat Money.

81 will ask you to remember the
fundamental facts in this controversy.
1t is really fight for honest money
and honest currency against the de-
basement Of the currency and the i'm
pairment of credit Free silver is but
a step toward fiat money. At bottom
the Bryanitcs are hostile to the men
who save, to the men who put their
money in the savings banks, who are
investors in any form of productive
capital, whether bonds or real estate
or crossroads stores. Every dema-
gogue in the land, every man who
hates with a venOmous hatred the WELL
TODD because they are well-to-do, the
thrifty because they are thrifty and
have worked and saved, are arrayed
against us.
But free silver is not the worst thing
in the Chicago platform. The platform
contains an attack on the supreme
court, and therefore upon the main de-
pendence of our liberties. 1t contains
Il demand that the laws shall not be
enforced in certain contingencies. This
means free riot. and it is fitting that
with the demand for free silver should
80 the demand for free riots. The men
who are ready to strike down the cur
rency Of the country are ready to strike
down at the same time that safeguard

from our forefathers in the cOnstitu-
tiOn-the supreme cOurt.-Theodore

1t was due almost solely to the acr-
ivity of Mr.. Chiids that the interpreted
ton of the constitutional prohibition
against the holding of a state office by
any member of the legislature was
brought before the supreme court.

which, it is universally admitted. will

followed up by Mr.. Childs with such
distinguished ability as to evoke APP
plause from the whole Northwest,
were his handling of the Holden MUIR
der case; the Great Northern-NOrthern

which the city of Duluth is now

terms, and though several of the
ablest and most distinguished lawyers
of the state were candidates for the
nomination in the state convention.
Mr.. ChildS was nominated by an
easy majOrity, and so general was the
belief that he would be elected that.
had he chosen to go out of his way
for the purpose. the Democrats of the
state would have given him their en-
dOrsement. He did not want it. for
the reason that he is consistent ana

the result when it was placed in the
hands of the people whom he had
