LOWNDES AND MUDD.
Republican Factions i'm Prince Georges
County and IA Bitter Fight.

Republican primaries were held in Prince
Georges county last Saturday. The Republi-
cans were divided into hostile camps, and
bitter was the feeling. The of it was
rivalry between LownGes and Mudd. both OF
whom wanted to get legislative nominees in
their favor for the United States Senate
The first friction was caused by I.owndes
turning Mudd's friends out of the State to-
bacco warehouses and replacing them with
his own heelers. Mudd had hold of the party
machinery and he took all the Judges and
clerks of election, and when the primaries
came off, the Lowndes people held primaries
of their own. In consequence two county
conventions were held on Monday, one by
each ia ion. Two county tickets were nom
mated aid two sets of delegates were chosen
to the state and judicial conventions.
Each faction seems firm, and each side
would rather have Democratic success than
that the opposition Republican ticket should
win.
OF course strong efforts will be made to
heal up the difference before election day and
have all support a common ticket, but the
bitter and hostile spirit aroused is too deep,
and no compact union can be formed.
Mudd intends to control the legislative
tickets i'll Southern Maryland, or will have
them defeated. II he cannot win no other
Republican shall, and Lowndcs seems to re
alize that if h is ever to be elected to the
United States Senate his only opportunity is
by the next Legislature. He is learning ma
chine politics very fast and the patronage of
his office will be prostituted i'll his behalf.

Part of the Republican Record
From the Baltimore World.


There seems to be a remarkable unanlmity
in the opinion that Mr.. German is going to
win this fall. Why is it? Surely not because
Mr.. German has become strongly esteemed
by the people of this state. Not bit of it.
The plain truth of the matter is that the peO-
ple are utterly disguised with the performances
of the Republicans who have been given office,
and with the attempt on the part of yelling
ton to build up political kingdom of his own
Beginning with Hooper, what did he do for
the people of the city? Nothing but stir up
a constant turmoil in the city hall, which
could do no possible good.
The city council followed suit, giving away
franchises and voting money right and left
without excuse.
The school board has perpetrated one of
the worst farces of them all, and arranged for
the expenditure of money for school books
that was entirely unnecessary.
Lowndes, as governor, has done nothing
but announce himself as a candidate for the
U. S. Senate.
The Legislature was one of the shallowest
the state has ever known, and Duke Well
ington has capped the climax by making
himself the laughing stock of the state, and
by attempting to dictate nominations every
where, as we'll as all of the appointments by
the President.
The World warned the Republicans that
the people did not overthrow the old ring for
the purpose of allowing another one to spring
up in its place, and that if ali attempt was
made to create new ring the people would
resent it at the polls in a way that the Re-
publicans would not soon forget. The short
sighted boss has not needed the warning, and
has attempted to be q greater and more AFRO
CANT boss than German ever pretended to be-
These are the reasons why there is such a
universal belief that German will win this
fall.

Approving Bryan's Theory.

Most of the city papers are declaring that
prosperity has returned, and base their chief
reliance for the assertion upon an increase in
the price of wheat and the abundant crop.
The crop was abundant, but many thous
ands of bushels in Maryland were lost by the
long rainy season following harvest. When
this is taken into consideration, notwithstand-
ing the increased price, by reason of the short
crop in Europe and Argentina, farmers will
not be very much better off. 1t will still take
nearly 100 bushels to pay interest on $1,000
mortgage, whereas 40 bushels only were re-
quired a few years back.
Then, too, the city papers unwittingly ad-
mitted the contention of Mr.. Bryan, that
there could be no prosperity until agriculture
revived. He said-preserve the farms, and
you may burn your cities and they will spring
up again; destroy your farms, and grass will
grow in the streets of your cities. Last year
these city luminaries contended that the start
ing of the mills and factories alone was es-
sential to restoring prosperity. In reply it
was said that it would be useless to start the
mills, unless farmers had money to buy the
products of the mills. Now this is admitted.
However, there is little consistency about
city dailies. They say that which best suits
their purpose for the present. Whatposition
they maintained year or even six months
previous is not matter of consequence.

Tortured to Get a Confession.

SHENANDOAH, PA. Aug. 3.-Lnkasz Sondej.
Il Slav, told II startling story before Justice
Shoemaker today. Andrew Petchak and W..
Ladislaw Fredima suspected him of having
stolen $50 from them. They surprised him IN
his bedroom, bound and gagged hi u, and then
hung him to a nail in the wall Of the room
with a rope under his arms. While he was
thus suspended they applied lighted matches
to the soles of his feet and threatened to con
time the torture all night if he did not confess
the theft and tell where the money was hidden.
Sondej finally tainted, and his tormentors re-
leased him without securing a confession.
Meanwhile neighbor who had discovered
what was going on, called Policeman Andrew
Koszar When the officer entered the
house he was set upon and severely beaten by
Petchak and Fredima. The officer finally es-
capped and the accused men were raided and
taken into custody by posse. SOndei is in a
critical condition. He denies all knowledge
of the theft.

Judge I. Thomas Jones.

The Democratic convention of the eth
judicial circuit, which met in this city on
Wednesday, reflected the unanimous Demo-
cratic sentiment of the circuit in nominating
Hon. l. Thomas Jones to succeed himself on
the bench of this circuit. And there are a
large number of Republicans who are so we'll
satisfied with Judge Jones fairness, honesty,
capacity and integrity that they are pleased
at his denomination and hope their party will
not place a candidate against him.
The testimony of the whole bar of the cir
cult is that Judge Jones is an able and i'm
partial judge, man ofintegrity and thorough
ly conscientious in the discharge of his duties.
He is courteous and genial and universally
popular with The bar and with the people, and
his election is generally expected.

The Dingley Bill.

Those who would learn something of the
new Federal tax law, known as the Dingley
law, should read closely the article on the
subject on the first page. And the article is
a good one to lay away for reference, partlc-
ularly by those who expect to speak to the
people upon the issues of the campaign this
fall
For the first time in the history OF Federal
tax bills anthracite coal, the household fuel,
is taxed, and the rate is IS cents IA ton. BIZ
luminous coal, such as is used for furnaces,
steamboats, and railroad locomotives, has
always been taxed, but at a much lower rate
under the Wilson law than under any Rcpuh-
lican measure.
The article shows the rate of taxation on
very many articles of necessity, and shows
that the average rate of tax of 81 per cent.
imposed by the Dingley law is very mlslead-
ing On some ffty-two articles, mostly con
sumed by the masses, the rate ranges from
100 to 224 per cent. Among these are com
mon window glass, upon which the duty
ranges, according to size, from l07 to l6S
per cent; pen knives or pocket knives OF the
cheaper qualities, upon which the duty is III
per cent. wooden goods of the different de-
scriptions upon which the duty ranges from
1902 per cent. on the better qualities and ll9
per cent. on the cheaper qualities of fiannels
up to III per cent. on the cheaper qualities Of
WOODEN or worsted shawls; the cheaper quality
of blankets, upon which the duty is l25 per
cent; wool hats, upon which the duty is III
per cent. on the better qualities and BOB per
cent on the cheapest quality; felts, 'on which
the duty is 1O4 per cent. on the better quail
ties and pa per cent on the cheapest quality;
pulp, paper and books upon which the duty
is 200 per cent.
Study the article, and see how oppressive
is the DinGley law
