CORMAN STILL A POLITICAL
FORCE.

Springfield, Mass, Union.
Because Senator German cannot be
reelected to the senate it is assumed
that his political career is ended. That
does not necessarily follow. He is retir-
ed for four years without question, but
Arthur Pue German is resourceful in
dividual. His party is disorganized, but
if the Republicans of Maryland make
mistakes it would not be surprising to
see him revivified in four years. when a
Legislature to choose Senator yelling
toms successor is to be elected. He is q
force still to be reckoned with. Those
who calculate otherwise are shortsight-
ed.

Bossism carries within itself the seeds
of its own destruction. The boss for

He becomes arrogant and oppressive.
He attempts, in the plentitude of his
power, to discard the humble instru-

to his place. Finally one of these pushes
the ancient boss from his chair and that

Cleveland Plain Dealer
The officers at Camp Sheridan may
think the newspapers take altogether
too much interest in their business, but
as the business happens to be of a pub
lie character and the officers themselves
are but the pubiics uniformed servants,
it is quite right that the public should
know all about the administration Of af-
fairs at this somewhat notorious pest.
1t is a pity that Teddy Roosevelt didn't
ally himself with the army instead of
the navy. He would make the shoulder
strapped fur fly out there in short order.
PRICES GO UP, WAGES GO DOWN.
Louisville Dispatch.
The glass manufacturers are working
the Mckinley prosperity in the usual
way. They have put wages SO low that
the workers have refused to accept the
terms of the manufacturers, and there
will be no immediate resuption Of pro-
duction. In the meantime the manufac-
turers' association announces that it mas
advanced glass from to 10 per cenf.
The iobbers would import glass to meet
the demand, which is greater than the
supply, but they are prevented from do
ing so by a prohibitory tariff imposed
by the Dingley bill.

That the state Owns in the n. C. Railroad
Recently Issued and Received by the
State Tressurer.
Under an act of the General Assem-
bly. dated January q, 1s47, the state
obtained 10000 shares in the Nortn
Carolina Railroad, and under similar
act dated February IA, 1866, the State
secured 10000 more shares: Inese
represent the States interest in the n.
G. Railroad. but by some means or
other the State never received the Ger
| tificates of shares.
Treasurer Worth called Governor
Carr's attention to the fact that no
certificates of these shares were depos-
tied in the Treasurer's office, and Urged
| Governor Carr to have same issued
whether through neglect or otherwise
they were not issued.
Mr.. Worth then called Governor
Russell's attention to this matter, who
had the matter thoroughly Investigated
and traced up and learned that the GER
tificates representing the 10000 share'
had never been issued. So Novembe
26, 1897, they were issued, and are nov
{ deposited in the Treasurer's office.

The expenditures under the contln-
