graveyards in which the ground has

the ordinary charge is from SIS to $50.
About 5000 bodies have been cremated

not popular, in spite Of It's cheapness.

The Nan For the Place.

IL the Democratic party is to win
in the coming State campaign it
must go into the fight thoroughly
organized and marshalled by chief
who will enthuse the rank and file
and inspire them with the know
ledge that the contest will be active,
energetic and that there will be no
lull in the fighting until the votes
are cast and the result proclaimed.
We have the man for the crisis, and
his name is FRANK BRowS. His
skill as an organizer was attested
in 1891 when he developed such
strength in the party as to force
his nomination for Governor in the
face of opposition Heretofore sup
posed to be invincible. And, his
ability as campaigner was attested
by his phenomenal majority at the
election. The Ex-Governor is young
and active; he is a Democrat; he
can afford to devote time to the
service of the party that has honor.
ed him, and with him ut the head
OF our State Central Committee
Democrats from Hutton to Point
Lookout, from MarydeI to Franklin
City would know that fight was
on that must result in Victory.
The fact that, in the recent past,
we have exercised our right as q
Democrat to differ with Governor
Brown on matters of party policy
and have legit:mately expressed our
opinion, never did, nor does it now,
detract from our admiration of his
recognized abilities, or blind US to
his skill as q leader or to the poten-
cy of the influence he can exert in
Maryland politics. We desire
Democratic success; we believe Gov.
Browns selection as chairman of
our State Central Committee would
largely contribute to that end and
We hope to see him called to the
position. Non nObis sed patriae.

gether. There are honest differ
ences of opinion in the party. Let
them be submitted to the State
Convention and when the decision
is made let all abide by it. This
is the party's way, and 1t is our way.
III however, some one has better
plan to propose, why, let the party
know of it and il it be adopted we
shall be more than satisfied.
We don't wish to offer too much
advice at once but as we won't be
mad if none Of it be taken we would
suggest amongother things, that the
State Convention should declare

WHY NOT AGREE?

In another column we print q COM
munication from Capt. Geo. Thorn
as upon the political situation in
Maryland. Capt. Thomas was u
candidate upon the Gold Democratic
Electoral ticket at the recent cleo
ton and is we'll known, not only in
our county, but throughout the
State. We radically differed with
the Captain in the recent con test,
but none the less will be pleased to
fight with him for Democratic sue
cess in the campaign soon to be in
augurated. We yield to no man in
devotion to the cause of Den. ocra-
CIV, and we have never esteemed IA
vorites or factions above party. We
do not vote for men for personal
friendship, nor do we vote against
them for personal enmity. Avail
ability, capability, honesty, DEM
ocracv are the requisites we seek in
our candidates, though like the rest
OF human kind we are gratified when
to these can be notwithstanding.
We think there will be no difference
between the gallant captain and our
selves upon these points. We have,
in the past, differed upon the au-
thority that names the candidates,
we holding to the Chicago conven-
ton and the captain to that of In
dianapolis. But that is not an is
sue now. We are looking to the
future. We are no apologists for
bossism or any boss. En- PEASANT,
however, it may not be amiss to
state that il we must have boss
We always expect to prefer Demo
crat to Republican for the posi-
ton.
In politics, as in everything else,
one must not expect too much.
Saints are rare in all professions,
and that we cannot just at present
recall one political leader who is real
ly entitled to can0nization should
not initiate too strongly against
the species. In judging politicians.
as well as other people, we do not
know n better rule than is contained
in the following we'll known stanza:
My son, these maxims make a rule,
Aud lump them aye thegither;
The RIGID RIGHTEOUS Is a fool,
The RIGID WISE anither:
The cleanest corn that ere was Digit
May hac some pyles of chat in;
So ne'cr n fcllow-creature slight
For random fits o. dafin.''
We sincerely trust that the De-
mocracy may not go daft in the
coming contest, but that some plan
may be hit upon to unite its war
ring factions and solidify the party
against the common foe. But. this
devoutly desired contamination
will never be brought about BY viii
LITIGATION. nor by the spirit that
animates some to initiate the lad
who wouldn't play unless Bill was
kicked out Of the game. Captain
Thomas communication is oppor-
