CHESTERTOWN, Md. Jan. 7-G. f.
Clark, living near Lynch's Station,
Kent county, had a terrific battle with
a vicious boar Of large size and about
three years old yesterday. Mr.. Clark
attempted to drive the animal in, when
it turned upon him. knocked him down,
grabbed his leg and shook it as a dog
would a rat. Several ugly wounds were
made on the leg by the boar's tusks.
When Mr.. Clark made an effort to rise
he was again attacked and his coat
nearly torn from his back. He was
totally powerless to defend himself.
and not until the vicious brute walked
away. leaving him bleeding and torn
was he able to rise to his feet.

TO THE NATIVES.

The Independents claim that a
''foreign born" fusion candidate was
elected in this county last year by
1.-The largest majority ever given in
Trego county," is not only untrue but
it is significant comment upon the
intelligence of native voters and upon
the home-bred candidates on the
same ticket. which both will do well
to remember. 1t is untrue. Even
the most ignorant or most favored
candidate upon that ticket last year
did not receive a much greater major
ity than was given G. NJ. Ufford the
year before land for which several
well-meaning but deluded Republic
ans desire to be kicked) and other
candidates had hitherto been given
majorItieS twice as large as that
given Mr.. Ufford.
1t is doubtless a reasonable and
natural source of qualification to him
that the fortunate candidate of last
year is a fellOw-countryman of the
Independents editor. but. even
though the ill-founded boasts were
true, Mr.. Olson should not get too
gay about it just yet or ''reckon with
out the host" who elected him. He
should not forget that United st lteS
is still the official language of the
country at large. although. in prac-
tice. not entirely so of this country.
He should remember that this is not
Ellis county where the natives are
compelled to unite i'm Self-defence and
for the preservation of American in
situations. He should remember
that the people. who gave him all
the privileges, social and civil. which
he enjoys here. are still in the majori-
ty and he will do well not to ignore
them or abuse their gifts.
With the kindest regard for those
naturalized citizens who do apprecl-
ate these privileges. we say it is per-
maps fortunate that his boast is I'M
true. otherwise his fayorite candidate
of this year might abjure his mother
tongue-in imminent danger to his
jaw-and proclaim himself foreigner
to the county. at least.

THAT COUNTY PHYSICIAN MATTER

The independents anxiety and so
Hcitude regarding the salary of the
county physician is the thinnest stuff
ever dispensed to readers of intelli-
gence, and can deceive no one who is
conversant with the facts. One year
ago last July, when the ''long end of
the board of county commissioners
was PopulIst by two to one, two MEM
bers of the board asked DIR. Jones to
take the contract for one year at 1915,
payable monthly. zone of the two is
still a member.) They did so as a
measure of economy, in the interests
of the taxpayers, and the best ar
rangement that could be made. At
the late session of the present board
the contract was renewed for one
year for the same reasons. The board
was unanimous on this proposition.
Every member voted for it. For the
truth of these statements consult the
commissioners or the county clerk or
the records of the meetings. DR..
Jones did not ask for either of these
contracts from the board, nor of any
member of it, and for one year at
least, he has no interest in retaining,
or need retain. a board favorable to
him. All men of any force or conse-
quence have their opponents, but
should Mr.. Hinshaw be succeeded on
the board by the bitterest enemy of
the county physician he could not
set aside the contract now made for
at least a year, and should the other
two members continue to hold their
present unanimous views, as they are
likely to do under the probable con-
tinuation of present circumstances.
a member elected upon this single
issue could effect no change even
then.

And now we are told that F'rakes
always invested" his 81. 600 salary ''as
fast as he made it, in real estate. The
records do not show that he invested
it in TregO-the county which should
feel so greatly honored by his tenn
porary presence. Perhaps there are
other localities where poor men are
unable to pay their taxes and are di-
vested of real estate by taX-Sales- Too

When Len. Johnson is elected clerk

one of his qualifications. He will not

That is a disQuali fcation he does not

sworn duty. That is another He
will act as clerk of the board of coun-
ty commissioners regardless of their

them but will not attempt TO dis
charge the duties belonging exclu-
sively to them. After all he is just a

nature as township trustee, but if he

tion and asked the whole county con-
vention to make it unanimous. Mr..
Olson showed some political judg-
ment and his usual selfish cunning in
securing the nomination of the man
who is popularity supposed to possess
a pile" albeit it escapes taXation),
which he is ambitious enough to
up his reputation of getting any office
he may ask for, regardless of the
wishes and Judgment of voters in
general, and whose friends and adj
mirers regard him as the political
sage, king and dispenser of patronage
in all parties. We say this is selfish
cunning on the part of Mr. Olson be-
cause he is loath to part with dollar
once in his possession unless it be a
contribution from his party follow
erS who vainly imagine that they are
contributing to party success and not
to Mr.. Olson's private purse. A dol
lar in his hand is worth two of the
candidates. to the Independents edi-
tor.
While Mr.. Olson shows the judg-
ment of his ruling passion in his
methods of campaigning, the voters
who refuse to support his candidate
show even better judgment in defense
of their purses and it does credit to
their citizenship as we'll. They know
that since Mr.. Olson failed to sneak
his spurious printing bill of SOL. 10
through the court his only remaining
hope is to get a board of commission
ers who will submit to the steal and
it is plainly evident that at least Mr..
Olson regards his candidate as per-
son likely to wink at the transaction.
But this is not. all voters have to
fear. While Mr.. Olson did not have
the patience to wait or regarded it as
a hopeless election, there are other
spurious bills, even more ''shady"
than his, whose holders have been ad-
vised by fusion county officials to wait
until after election, because it is use
less to present them now, and prom
ised their payment in case FraIes is
elected. They have been advised
even urged, not to sue the county at
present because that would expose
some of their conspiracies of last De
cember and January, an exhibition
which would not be of any advantage
to the party candidates just now
This is killing three birds with one
stone. They hope to hold these
voters in support of Frakes, avoid ex-
posture and possibly pay their secret
political debts and bills at county ex-
penSe.
This natter is or no more import
ance to us than TO other citizens and
taxpayers for whose benefit these
''facts of interest" are published. We
can give names, dates and items if
necessary and we publish tie main
facts now in order to allow time for
any person who feels guilty to make
defense, if possible. We do not ex-
pect any such attempt. Our assertions
of fact are matters of private and
public record, easily established We
do not charge or believe that any
present. prospective or eX-members
OF the board of commissioners are par
ties to the implied compact.

Landmark.
Our position is not well stated; but
never mind that.
our understanding Is that the various
economical measures adopted by the last
1eo,slature have been fruitful of good.
We have seen II stated that about SOOOo
ner amman will be saved by them.
The last annual report Of the Auditor
~ public Accounts will not show all
these savings. because some Of the new
laws had not gone into effect in the
early part of the fiscal year 1856
However. lest there be doubt as to the
ourposes Of our party In the matter OF
retrenchment. let the Roanoke conven-
zion declare itself fully upon the sub
feet. Let it pledge the party so to re-
duce expenses as TO make the present
rate of taxation meet the expenses or
government and pay the interest upon
the public debt. even when the per cent.
period arrives. To this end, let it pledge
the Legislature TO retrench now wherever
possible. and TO propose such amend
ments to the Constitution as may en-
able Il 10 make further reductions in ex-
penses.
When we consider that all OF the real
estate of this Commonwealth is to be
reassessed for taxation in the year 1900,
and when we contemplate the enormous
reductions in valuations that will be ne
cessary-unless the country becomes very
prosperous before that time-we must
see that virglnia's financial situation will
become serious. Then, too, in 1901 we are
