THEY WILL UNITE,
Maryland Editors Propose to Take
Hold of the Next Campaign.

Mary laIlu E0llOES propose To Il IKE
Hold Of the Next Campaign.
Baltimore. Md, Feb. 2.-The Democratic
editors of Maryland will shortly he called
together to consider the political situation
The conference Will be a secret one and
will be held in this city.
The Maryland Democratic Editors Asso-
citation, which includes in its membership
nearly all the editors OF that political
faith in the State, holds an annual meet
ing during the late spring or early sum-
mer. These gatherings are largely of
social nature, but the conference now being
quietly arranged for will be strictly for
business, and Democratic editors not mem
bers OF the association will also be in
vited
The object is to unite the country press
of the party upon some particular line Of
action, so thatthere will be as little random
firing and loss of ammunition as possible.
1t is particularly desired to reach some
understanding as TO how those Democrats
who failed to support Bryan last fall are to
be treated. And in this connection it is
rather significant that few of the rural
weeklies have been clamoring for reor-
ganization of the party. Manyof them have
openly declared that there is no need of
reorganization, and that the existing ma
chinery will control the coming primaries
There is a disposition On the part OF
the rural editors not to have the candidacy
of SeRator German for reelection made
too prominent a feature of the corning cam
paign. The mostimportant thing, they say,
is to nominate good men, irrespective of
factions all over the State and secure
control OF the next legislature. When
that is done, they say, Mr.. German may
take his chances with other aspirants for
Senatorial honors, and it is thought he
will encounter strong opposition, even
should his party win.
The zeal with which the managers of the
rural press are preparing to make the
most desperate sort of n fight this year
may not be attributed entirely to sentiment
The average Democratic editor is now
wandering around in "A very dry desert,
with few financial oases. Intimes past his
''patrona ge.' or the public printing for his
county or the State, gave a great lift every
year to his income Then the advantage of
being on the high side made his columns
more valuable. When he was swept from
this vant3 ge gr Und and had the State
and county treasures closed to him, the
loss was keenly felt. They have been very
loyal to their party, however, and have
battled bravely against odds. There are
some able and shrewd men among the
Democratic editors Of the State, and the
coming conference is expected to mark
the beginning of one of the hottest bat
ties ever fought in Maryland.

Thoughts From Goethe

Every beginning is pleasant The thres-
hold is the place of expectation.
One must be something in order to do
something.
Go back into life, and take Holy Earnest
ness with you, for Holy Earnestness alone
makes life eternity.
Day and happiness and continuance are
the lot OF the living
Words are good, but there is something
better. The best cannot be explained by
words. The spirit on which we act is
the chief matter.
The safest mode of acting is TO employ
ourselves with our nearest duty.
Disinterested actions will earn the rich
est reccmpense.
Love renders impossibiliies themselves
possible,
The web of life is woven of necessity
and chance.
What is important is to have soul
which loves truth, and receives it wherever
it finds It,
Great thoughts and a pure heart; that
is what we have to pray God for.

Lawson's work at the rink has been emf
nently satisfactory during the last two
weeks, and some days he has skated as

average sixteen miles an hour without tir-
ing himself oUt, and is confident that he
can put up greater speed than this for
the requisite fifty miles.

HE CALLED REED 4 TYRANT
Mr.. Boutelle's Savage Speech
Against the Speaker.
A BREACH BETWEEN THEM
1t Is Said the Congressman's Re-
appointment as Chairman of the
Naval Affairs Committee i'm the
Next Congress Is Out of the
Question.

Philadelphia, Feb 2.-The PHILADELPHIA
Inquirer today published the following ''spe.
cial'' from Washington:
The Gridiron Club gave its annual dinner
last Saturday night, and, as usual. some
of the most distinguished men of the conn
try were present Chauncey Depew was
there; so were Senator German, Senator
Jones, of Arkansas; Speaker Reed. Con
gresham Boutelle, OF Maine; Rev. De Witt
Talrnage, john Russell Young, and other
great lights. Speeches were made bv near
ly all Of these gentlemen, ana there was
a lot OF by-play, such rs is customary at
Clover Club and Gridron dinners.
There was an alleged telephone connec-
ton between the banquet hall and Canton
Tie operator at this end OF the line was an
ex-president of the Gridiron Club. This
gentleman said, through the bogus phone:
Yes, Ma jor Mckinley, this is the Grdiron
Club. Mr. Boutelle is here. He is wait
ing
Everybody laughed at this, as it was
known that Mr. BouteIle was a candidate
for Secretary of the Navy
phone, Speaker Reed is here
But he is not waiting" quickly inter
rupted Speaker Reed, In his dry nasal tone.
and this retort was greeted with roar OF
laughter.
This seemed 10 irritate Mr. BouteIIe.
who is very sensitive and quick to resent
any remark which might be Interpreted
as reficcting on him. A few minutes later
speeches were in order, and Mr. Boutelle,
who is chairman Of the Naval Affairs Com
mittee, by grace of Speaker Reed, was
called upon. He arose and facing the
Speaker, began a bitter denunciation OF
Mr. Reeds course as presiding officer OF
the House.
He said in substance that Mr. Reed
was a tyrant, and that he usurped the
powers and functions of the members
of the popular branch OF Congress by
debating what measures shouldand should
not go through the House By this time the
club was in an uproar and efforts were
made to induce Mr.. Boutelle TO cease.
But he waved all objections aside and con-
tinued his speech.
He declared that Mr. Reed had degraded
his feIlow-nen by refusing to recognize
them and by arbitrarily V declining to permit
legislation demanded by their Constitu.
ents and the country at large. simply be-
ca use the measures they desired to put
through did not meet his views.
THE speech OF Mr.. Bouteile created the
greatest conservation among the guests
present. Efforts were made by ythe members
of the club to call him to order. but lie re-
fused to abide by the rules and would not
sit down until he was good and ready
The gossips now say that the breach is so
wide between the Speaker and his col
league that the latter's reappointment as
chairman of Naval Affairs in the Fifty
fifth Congress is out of the question, and
that Representative Alfred C. Harmer, OF
2 Philadelphia, may be bis successor

Beef Tea Jelly.

Beef tea is food of which an invalid
quickly tires. Try making it into Jelly.
Soak for an hour third of box OF
gelatine in water enough to cover it;
then pour over it pint Of hot beef tea;
season to suit the taste and turn the liquid
into small cups or individual molds and
set it away to harden. When needed
turn the jelly from one of the molds out
upon a dainty saucer. Served with q
nicely toasted cracker, it will be very in
viting, and the same amount of nourish-
ment will be obtained as when the beef
tea is taken in liquid form.
