There will have to be some politics
transacted very speedily during the next
seven weeks. So far, with the exception
OF the Popuiists, nothing has been done
that was not undone yesterday, when the
committee of twenty-one virtually sur
rendered their title to Office.
This action on their part nee1s some ex-
PLANTATION more than has been given. 1t
is not to be supposed that men OF the
standing of the committee would have
worked a whole month before they dis
covered that they had been duped. 1t Is
an insult TO their intelligence to presume
that they worked for four weeks before
they found out that they were the laugh
ing stock of a few machine politicians.
While there may be some ground for
doubling the motive of the City Central
Committee, there can be no doubt as to the
ability of their appointees TO have ful-
filled the task allotted to them, VIZ: that
of naming del. gates to municipal con-
vention.
II the motive for the committee resign
ing were really that they believed they
had been misled the very best thing In
the world for them to do would have been
TO go ahead with their work and visit a
severe punishment on the neauS Oh tnOSe
who had been guilty OF trickery. They
had it in their power 10 do so. The del
egates they would have named would
have appointed the next City Central
Committee and would thus have had tue
complete satisfaction of making the trick
prove boomerang 10 the trlckster. This
would certainly have been the case had
there been no other reason.
But there was another reason and
powerful one, and It's existence is due to
the very effective and commendable work
of the leaders oil the committee OF twenty.
one. Quite recently--in TACT the echoes of
the STRIFE have not yet died away-those
sa me men, or rather the wing of the Re-
publican party that they represent, sue
ceeded by struggle. the details OF which
are we'll known, in establishing the prin-
cipie that delegates 10 conventions should
be elected at primaries and should not be
appointed by any political org .nization.
This principle proved popular and at the
very next primary was indorsed.
As soon a. the com mittee of twenty-one
realized that it had made a mistake IN
trying to undo its own good work it wisely
withdrew. a very conscientious man told
me to-day that this view is not the correct
one, but if not, then the members OF the
committee of twenty-one are the most I'M
fortunate victims of circumstances that
are on record even in this hatchery OF
the unexpected"

An Opium Slave Attempts to End Life

OAKLAND, CAL, Jan. 10.-Albert Mil
Ter. one of the family of three who are in
Jail charged with burglary, attempted to
commit suicide last night. He stood on
the bench and took the gasjet in his
mouth after turning on the gas. He soon
became uncon scious and fell 10 the floor.
The noise attracted Jailer Swain and the
bow was found in time to restore him to
consciousness.
The other brother was told of the occur

to attempt self-destruction, but there is no

OAKLAND is congratulating herself this
week. On numerous occasions the city
has been regarded as the abiding-pIace of
enthusiasts. Probably there has been some
little foundation for this reputation, out
at present she occupies rear seat. During
the past two weeks Berkeley and San
Francisco have each furnished two sen-
sations IN the theological world, and OAK
landers are considering why they have
been so graclously passed by.
In the biggest OF the three cities two
new churches have been started-one by a
young man, the other by an older man
and out in Berkeley Reys. PAYNE and
Robin have hurled the thunders of their
respective pulpits at each other, and this
was quickly followed by young man
from San Francisco and another from the
South founding new church also at the
University town.
While the experience of being ignored
is new, Oakland does not resent the slight.
The feeling among some members of
the Alameda delegation is that If Per-
kins be not nominated for the Senate on
the first ballot next Tuesday, he will not
succeed himself. Senator Perkins has not
acted fatty by The Republican party OF
Alameda County. He has evidently con-
sidered that his home delegation was so
safe that he could ignore it with mpunity
and mas broken pledges Tor which even
his most ardent supporters have not at
tempted to explain or apologize. Spite of
ALI talk about so-called sind orsements,"
which, by the way, when extracted person
ally from candidates prior to election, are
certainly closely allied to violations of the
Purity of Election Law, the majority OF
+ha 10 gislatlve mem bers from this county
express themselves as being perfectly in
dependent to vote next Tuesday. In fact
ii is not contradicted that il two of the
mem bers had pledged themselves in the
Senatorial matter they could not have
been elected. Perkins actions in the Con-
eressional fight and the Waymire matter
have cut deeply.
Some of the expressed candidates for
Office next March have hard task before
them. They are trying to carry morals
ON one shoulder and politics on the other.
and If the necessary diplomacy be not
forthcoming, many will perish. The Sun
day-closing question has been revived,
and shrewd uess would be that senti-
ment on the matter is about equally dl-
vided. The question will probably be
submitted TO the people at the next cleo
ton, and on the result the next CouncIi-
men will presumably act. This bein so,
the opponents OF osing will make their
fight against both measure and men. The
issue is very delicate one for politicians,
az the powerful church element and tn e
active Christian Endeayorers are on one
side and the majority OF the commercial
element on the other. The candidate who
can gain the support of both deserves to
win. and he will. STUART w. BOOTH.

Point of Rocks.

oct. 3, 1897.
Some little excitement was caused
at the school house last week. Barney
Fitzpatrick and his wife, better known
as Barney Biggs and Irish Molly,
stoned some boys and ran them into
the school rooms and did not desist
until they were arrested and taken be-
fore magistrate Krantz, who committed
them to the House of Correction for
six months each.
The grain warehouse and mill of
Mr.. f. w. MERCER caught fire last
Thursday. but fortunately very little
damage was done.
The Democrats Of this place are very
much elated over the strong ticket
that was nominated at the convention
in Frederick some time ago, and we
think it is sure to win, as we don't
have any kickers here in this town,
and it would be a hard matter to find
any one that was ever in the Demo-
cratic fold to leave it for that other
party which is SO divided amongst
themselves and cannot hold little
primary election without strife and are
continually backbiting each other.
But such is their motto, as they are
only in it for what they can get out Of
it; such seems to be the case in this
place anyway.
Mr. G. s. MERCER has been busily
engaged for the last two weeks in get
ting out the young Democrats who
have never registered and succeeded in
getting quite a number to have their
names entered ON the registration
books.

Wheat Market.

Says Macy 9hd pendIeton's Daily
Report: Receipts continue large aud
apparently out of proportion to actual
clearances. Should Argentine in jan
uary again become shipper, it would
have considerable effect in depressing
prices. Beerbohm reports European
stocks increased IL million bushels for
the month and doubtless the end Of
this month will show American stocks
Increased more than they have during
the past month. The Chicago and New
York markets are still more or less I'M
der the influence of manipulation aud
as there are two opposing parties at
work, the market fiuctuates from day
to day according to their various small
advantages. Too sanguine people will
probably do well to remember that
there is enough new wheat in
the hands of the farmers when
1t can he forwarded into CON-
mercial positions where consumers can
get at it aud it will also Toe well for the
farmer to keep in mind that his South
American competitor may reappear
early in the coming year aud defeat
his ann at extra high prices. The
whole country will be better off If the
wheat is marketed reasonably rapid or
as fast as required.

Mr.. Markell Appointed Deputy
Collector.

Mr.. John U. Markell, who was re-
Gently appointed to the position of
chief deputy in the office of Internal
Collector of Revenue, is young Re-
publican of Frederick, who stands
we'll with all who know him, and his
selection for this position is a tribute
to the foresight and discrimination of
Collector, Parlett. 1t is reported and
has appeared in public print that Doc
tor Haffner was slated for the posi-
ton, hut declined the honor. Wide
spread noteriety has been given 10 the
fact that Collector Parlett has constru-
ed the civil service provisions in such
a way that he has dispensed with the
services of the deputy collectors that
served under his predecessor, Murray
Vandiver. The removed officials claim
that they are protected by the civil
service law and cannot be removed
without sufficient cause. The Attor-
ney-General has been asked for de-
cisiou in this matter.
Mr.. Carlton Shafer, formerly of
Frederick, was chief Deputy Collector
under Mr.. Vandiver and his place is now
filled by Mr.. Markell. The salary is
$1,000 per year.

A Card to the Public.

An advertisement appeared in last
weeks issue of the Frederick Examiner,
dated Comptroller's Office, Annapolis,
Maryland, October LIST, 1897, to which
is appended the name of Robert p.
Graham, Comptroller of the State,
which stated in substance, that J. VIM.
Baughmah, Collector of State Taxes for
Frederick Co., for 1896. was in arrears
to the State of Maryland, in the sum of
$l3,539.l9. The statement is false, and
| therefore desire to give the facts in
the case as they exist, and did erist, on
the date that the advertisement bears
date as being issued from the Comp
troller's Office. l will start by stating
that the amount of State tax due by
Frederick County, to the State of Mary
land, for the year 1896. and placed in
the hands of the undersigned for col
lection, was SAL ,630.5 aud further, that
the Comptroller's receipts for the said
amount, signed at various dates during
the year, as they were paid, are now in
the hands of the collector, and were in
his hands prior to October the LIST, last,
save and except for the sum of $2l .95,
which was owing to a mistake in the
MAJ eui up Va the oaiahCo uuei
but for that, the collector forwarded his
check on the I'd day of October, and has
the receipt of the Comptroller for the
same. l have waited patiently for cor
rection of this gross and injurious mis-
statement at the hands of the Comp
troller and the Frederick Examiner,
that published the statement, but as yet,
they have not done that simple act of
justice, either to me or to themselves. |
will have an interview with the Comp
troller, and trust that he will do what
truth and justice demand to repair the
wrong done me, otherwise | shall take
measures of my own for redress. The
wrong was public, the redress shall be
the same.

If woman is in good health there is
no more healthful employment than
housework. Generally speaking, there
is no happier woman in the world.
But how different when every breath

of health, in nine cases out of ten,
comes from arrangements of the deli
cate, feminine organs of generation.
The family doctor inquiries first con-
corning these. He most usually Insists
