North Glade,

Our school has been suspended
on account of measles. Both
teacher and pupils have them.
Nearly every family in this com.
@mnnity has been afflicted in some
way since Christmas.
Miss Della Savage, who is teach
ing Fort Hill school, has had quite
a serious time with measles.
Estella Baldwin died on the 9th
ult. with scarlet fever and measles.
She was good Christian girl,
nearly seventeen years old.
We have met but few applicants
FOR office from No. l. We are very
modest in our demands, you know,
although there is plenty of good
material down here.
1t has been amusing to see Mr..
0. |. G. trying to explain his posi-
ton in reference to the school ques-
ton and other matters. He evil
IDENTIFY realized that 1t is difficult
to explain such stuff as ne has made
public. He is certainly in a pitia-
BILE predicament. He has taken
great interest on the rising genera
ton for a few months; how unfor-
tunate he didn't commence sooner
He eulogizes the present teacher,
but insinuates that her predecessors
were incompetent and not fit to
teach. He arrays his exalted iudg-
ment against the majority of the
patrons of our school, and Of course
against the school commissioners
and examiner for sending out as
teachers those who are unqualified
to teach and unfit to govern schools,
but then his own words are charac-
teristic of the man, viz, "We are
the people and must be respected. ;"

Is defined, apparently unnecessar-
lily, as the laws of the United States
make ample provision on the sub
ject. The bill, however, reiterates
the famous law which has just been
ignored in the election of Senator
Wellington, and requires that Zone
of the Senators shall always be an
inhabitant of the Eastern Shore
and the other of the Western Shore
Of this State And it is generally
conceded that this requirement is
without the authority of the Con-
stitution of the United States. it
will probably be eliminated. SEN
ators and members of the House of
Delegates haYe taken an oath to
support that instrument and can
hardly in conscience vote for such a
provision.

will react and cause the overthrow
of those who are guilty. The proud
and arrogant majority may override
us, may be able to suppress us in
our endeavor to do what is best for
the people of the State, but the day
will come when the people them
selves, regardless of party, will rise
and hurl from the control of their
affairs the men who have abused
their trust. 1t may be generation
before that day comes, and | may
not live to see it, but if the major
ity keeps on its present course SEES
sion after session, the time of reck
oning will come, and the Democratic
party will go down in the dust OF
defeat and suffer for the sins that
are being committed here to-day
Judge Stake spoke of his proph.
esy at Annapolis, and said that the
dav Of retribution had come sooner
than he expected, and that 1t gave
him great pleasure to see his party
installed in power in the State.

Sented as Candidate
INDIANAPOLIS, IND, Feb. f.
Capt. John x. Gowdy, chairman
of the Republican State Central
Committee, has received the follow
ing communication from Ex-Presi-
dent Harrison.
Gin view of the resolution passed
by the State Central Committee at
its recent meeting, and of the fact
that the delegates to the National
Republican Convention are soon to
be chosen in this State, | conclude
that some statement from me as to
my wishes and purposes should now
be made to my Indiana friends.
Hitherto | have declined to speak
to the public upon the matter, but
scores Of friends with whom 1 have
talked, and many scores more
whom have written will recognize
in this expression the substance of
what | have said to them. 70
everyone who has proposed to pro-
mote my nomination | have said
NO There never has been an
hour since | left the White House
that | have felt wish to return to
it. My Indiana friends have been
most devoted and faithful, and |
am their grateful debtor. The Re-
publican party has twice in National
Convention given me its endorse
ment and that is enough. | think
the voters Of our party are now
entitled to have a new name. For
the sentiment, great or small, that
has been manifested for my nomi-
nation, | am grateful, and of that
wide respect and kindness, break
ing party lines, which have been
shown. me in so many ways | am
profoundly appreciative. | cannot
consent that my name be presented
to or be used in the st. Louis Con-
vention, and must kindly ask my
friends to accept this as sincere
and final expression upon the SUBJ
ject."
although Mr.. Harrison's decli-
nation Will cause considerable con-
fusion in Indiana Presidential poll
tics, 1t is generally admitted that
Mckinley will have the major part
of the delegation from this State,
and some believe that he will secure
nine out of every ten delegates,
Mr.. Harrlson's influence will no
doubt be thrown to Senator Allison,
but it is conceded that his personal
choice will not control the. people to
any considerable extent.

reported, would take part in the

not appear, thus many were disap-
pointed. Examiner limbaugh is

The history Of this country for
the past two years conclusively
shows that the financial and indus
trial depression is the direct result
of Democratic incompetency. Any
attempt to show that it is due to
anything else must fail for lack of
evidence. And, moreover, the in
telligent people of the country
understand the situation thor
oughly. This is why the next
President will be a Republican.

THE MOST deplorable spot in the
world, civilized or savage, to-day is
fair Cuba. Manufacturing is stop
ped, the sugar plantations have
been destroyed, the tobacco crop
will be devoured by the worm and
choked out by weeds. Foreign
commerce will cease very shortly,
for Cuba will have nothing to ship
abroad. Hot weather will soon be
again upon the doomed people of
the island. The Spaniards are not
now so near to conquering the rev.
olutionists as they were two months
ago, and still Spain holds on with
the fatuousness of an obstinate old
dotard who drifts onward to his own
destruction rather than yield. In
the name of humanity it is time for
other powers to step in and stop
this thing. If other governments
will not, then let the United States
play a lone hand in the matter.
Spain has had long enough trial
to show that she cannot down the

The Elections Bill.

The new elections bill, prepared
by the Reform League of Baltimore,
and introduced in the State Senate
by Senator Dobler, is a very vol.
luminous document. Apparently
every detail in the election processes
of the State is provided for with
great minuteness and care, so that,
as far as possible, every avenue tc
fraud may be guarded against.
Some of the provisions of the bill
haye met with hostile criticism

visors of election shall be chosen by
ballot, at the general elections, as

Judge Stakes Prophesy,

Judge Edward Stake Of the
Fourth Judicial Circuit was a men,
Der of the House in 1886. At that
session there were only ten Re-
publicans in the House and four III
the Senate, and the regular Demo-
Gratis, in the arrogance and pride of
their power and control of affairs,
generally rode rough-shod over the
minority, of which Judge Stake was
the leader. One day, when the
regulars had been particularly dis
courteous and arrogant to the MI
nority, and was reinforced by
several independent Democrats in
support Of a certain reform measure,
Judge Stake made an eloquent
speech, in which he uttered a warn
ing to the ring leaders in very nearly
the following words, which he re-
called on his visit to Annapolis last
week:
"Injustice and unfairness to a
helpless minority" he said, sis

Our atOT,

The Maryland Legislature, after
a somewhat prolonged contest, has
elected Hon. George L. Wellington
to the United States Senate, to sue
coed the "'littIe yellow dog" under
the German wagon, Mr.. Gibson.
Mr.. Wellington's term in Congress
will expire on March 4, 1897, when
his Senatorial career will begin.
The Eramjner was outspoken in
his behalf from the beginning, hay.
ing the honor Of being one news
paper with two others that fought
his battles, omphatically and UNI
ceasingly advocating the repeating
of the Eastern Shore law, which
eminent iurists have declared to be
undemocratic, unconstitutional and
unjust,
There were those who protested
against his election, on the ground
that the supposed Eastern Shore
law should be Obeyed. While the
opponents were moved from a deep
sense of duty in this regard, yet as
reasonable and honest men and
good Republicans, we cannot be led
to believe other than that they will
prove sincere deYotees to the Re
publican cause-to forget unpleas-
ant memories and do all in their
power for Republican success.
We sincerely believe that by the
election of Mr.. Wellington to the
Senate, the Maryland Legislature
has recognized new blood in the Re-
publican party that will continue
to achieve new victories. We sin
cerely believe that Senator Yelling
ton was the choice OF the majority
Of representative leaders of the
party, and that his election will be
heartily endorsed by the rank and
file Of the party.
1t is fact that the Eastern Shore
was responsible for its own defeat.
There were too many candidates
and they would not unite. There
fore they conducted a hopeless fight.
The followers of Mr.. Wellington,
like the memorable 800, stood firm
until divided opposition came to
the support of the hero of the hour.
Senator Wellington is now elected
for the whole people and his record
in the past proves conclusively that
he will prove true to his party and
bring honor to his State. He was
not trained in German or QUAY
school of politics and can be relied
upon to shun all kinds Of "deals'
and combines" with the enemy.
On the financial question, which is
the burning question of the hour,
he will be at home in the Senate
and he will rank with the leaders of
his party. He is an able and elo-
quent exponent of the tariff and on
all the leading questions of the day.
He is statesman and a true pa
triot. Old Maryland can congrat-
ulate herself on having so able a
representative in the United States
Senate. Long may he live to do
her honorl-Frederick Examiner.
