Sensible Talk.

Mr.. Owen Norris is candidate for the
Democratic nomination for State Senator in
Talbot county. In speaking of his candidacy
Mr.. Norris said
~ shall not make fight Tor the nomination. nor
do want it unless the people want me and unless
combination or deal to make the nomination If
the people do not want me, all well and good.
Then LET them take some other man, and no matter
who he may be l will support him. No mans per
sonal interest should be allowed to stand in the
way ofparty success. y
That is the spirit that should animate every
Democratic aspirant for public position, ev-
erywhere throughout the state.
Let candidates avoid contentious at prima-
ries and conventions, and especially do not
try to build up themselves by tearing down
Others. Stand upon your own merits, and
not upon the alleged dement's of other aspir-
ants. Let no one imagine that upon his Sc
lection rests success at the polls.
1t IS well for persons who want nominations
to announce the fact to the voters. They
should then leave their cases with the voters,
and ever keep in view that mo mans per-
sonal interest should be allowed to stand in
the way of party success. Each aspirant,
like Mr.. Norris, should pledge himself to
support whoever the party, through its dele
gates, ,ony nominate, whether it be himself
or some. one else.
There is general desire and intention upon
the part of Democrats to redeem Maryland
from Republican domination, and TO win back
all counties that have been seized by the OPP
position. This can be done if personalism
is not injected into primaries and conventions
The rank and file of the party is now in good
condition to go forward to victory in Novem
Der. Let not the ranks be disturbed by per
sonaI contests for nominations.

The Honest Voter.

The press that pursue zig-zig course, first
supporting one party and then another, with
self-benefit always in view or with venom or
caprice to satisfy, speak much of the ''honest
yoter.r' By an ''honest voter they mean
voter who is net attached to political party
and has no well settled views upon govern
ment-a vascillating creature, whose position
is always uncertain. A voter has great re-
sponsibility imposed upon him, and he should
cast his ballot conscientiously and in aceor-
dance with his best judgment for the public
good. A republic can only be conducted
through the agency of political parties. The
principles of parties should be studied and
the citizen upon arriving at the voting age
should attach himself to that one that stands,
in his opinion, for the best interest OF the
people. And Tiers he should stay, and not
be swerved from it because some individual In
it is obnoxious to him. or because the party
should espouse single policy not exactly in
accord with his views. No individual can
expect to have everything just as he wants 1t,
either as to men or measures Every man
should be willing to defer to the will of the
majority. The spirit of compromise must
always prevail. It must prevail in everything
else, as well as in politics. No bank, no
company, no organization of any kind could
last if every individual connected with them
should stand out resolutely for his own opin-
ions and try to destroy them if he did not
have his way. There is nothing dishonorable
in compromise-and the man who insists on
having his own way or in destroying-in rul-
ing or ruining-s crank. Instead of being
an "honest voter he is an obstructionist and a
destructionist Such man is not good cit
izen, and cannot long have any standing
among citizens who are interested in the pub
lie good.

Greece and Turkey.

Greece speedily ascertained, by severe ex-
perienee, that she is no match in war for
Turkey The Turk has demonstrated that he
is equally as brave as the Greek, and as the
Turks outnumber the Greeks twenty to one,
it was easily to be seen that Greece would not
stand long unaided. The King of Greece has
now consented to listen to the powers and
will accept their good Offices to stop the war
and arrange details of a treaty of peace.
Turkey, it is said, will ask an indemnity OF
S25. DOC, 900, the transfer of the Greek navy
to her and the withdrawal of Greek troops
from Crete. The powers will undertake tie
induce the Sultan to moderate his demands.
In the short war Turkey has demonstrated
herself to be formidable power, and Rus
STA, particularly, and the other European
governments will have more respect for her
than formerly.

Baltimore County Reassessment.
From the Towson Democrat.

Very many persons by the new assessment
have been increased double their former as
of taxation upon their increased assessment
they will find, instead of a tax rate of Ga
cents, it will reach very nearly, if not quite, a
dollar. The new assessment law of the Repub-
lican party has been very stringent and OPP
pressive to the farmer and the holder of the
small home, because he has been assessed to
the uttermost farthing, while the rich have
been protected by having their assessments
decreased more than one-half, and we mean
by this that the holders of stocks and bonds
who, under Democratic assessment law were
made to pay the same rate as the poor man
upon his humble home, now pay but thirty
cents on the 500.

Next Tuesday, the 18th, is the time set for
taking up the tariff bill in the Senate, but,
according TO the Washington Star, the con-
sideration of the measure may be postponed
week or ten days. The experts have not
finished the comparative statements, and there
is much doubt about the bill as revenue
producer. The Senate has added over seven
hundred amendments, five hundred of which
