There is something lacking in the

lively speaking, they are taxed higher

As might be expected. 1t is impos-
sfble to play off" these two facts one
against the other. And this is what
is meant by modified milk. II 1t is
suspected that there is too much fat
in the milk it may not only be diluted
until the desired proportion Is reach
ed. but more sugar may be added to
insure the speedy recovery of the little
patient. In the same way the milk may
be made richer, il occasion seems to
require it, by the addition of a little
cream.
The Springfield herald., 1897-07-02

If the milk is too rich, that is to
say. If 1t has too much fat in it. the
little stomach will be unable to digest
1t fully. This failure will cause a
lcoseness of the bowels. and If the
case. although SO simple, is misunder-
stood and therefore improperly treat
ed. exhaustion and even collapse may
eventually be the result-a literal In
stance of Starving in the midst of
plenty" The superfuous fat keeps
the bowels in continual state of ir-
ritation
The Springfield herald., 1897-07-02

On the other hand. il too much
sugar is present in the milk, the op-
posite effect is produced and the child
suffers nearly as much from the re-
tention in the system of matter which
should have been eliminated. The
child usually becomes excessively
nervous and fussy and no treatment
is of avail until the bowels are regu-
lated.

TIE .SITEATION.

The intense excitement throughout
the State, consequent upon the uncer-
tainty as to which party has the as
tendency in the House of Delegates,
is unaIlayed at the hour of going to
press. Chairman Vandiver is hopeful.
He says:
I'VE are claiming the State, and l
think we have every reason to believe
that when this vexatious delay is at
an end that it will be found we have
a majority. l am banking on that.
There are various reasons why we
have succeeded in carrying so many
counties which, last year and the year
before, strayed into the Republican
fold; among them being that party
sentiment-by that | mean Demo-
cratic sentiments much stronger in
the counties than it is in the city.
This is an off year, it is true, but we
got our vote registered, and voted
secrets of success. We had splendid
party organization. Our leaders were
in harmony and touch. They worked
manfully, and left nothing undone to
secure victory. In the counties the
sentiment against Mr.. German has not
been nearly so pronounced as one
would be led to think by the frothings
of the Gormanphobists; but the coun-
ties love the man and have stood 10y
ally by him. The financial question
cut no figure in the election in the
counties This was evidenced every
where. The fight was between Demo
Gratis and Republicans. That was the
issue, sharply. clearly drawn, and by
that issue we have, believe, won in
the face of machinery, organization
and patronage, signal victory. Even
if the State should go against us, us
do not believe, still the victory is here,
and it cannot be taken away"

that owing to tie immense influences
arrayed against INN, one of the Dem
ocratic candidates was defeated by II
small plurality, but these conditions
were abnormal, and cannot be repeat
ed. If the Democrats wish TO retain
their hold, however, they must exercise
good judgment and prudence.
First and foremost, they mnst make
good nominations. 1t is not sufficient
always for success that the nominee
of party shall be Il man of irTeproach-
able character and fit for the position
to which he aspires. Territorial
divisions must be taken into consider
alton and disafTected or lukewarm
elements in the party must be consid-
cred. While it is not possible to man
age the Democratic party and such a
thing is not to be desired, yet there
should be calm counselling by the
Democrats of the best judgment and
most political experience in the vari-
Gus parts OF the county before making
nominations, to see that no large sec
ton is left without representation
and that the candidates are selected
for the various offices in the way to
bring out the fullest possible vote from
any and all classes or groups ofvoters
who are supposed to be lukewar
No party can neglect such first prin-
ciples of prudence and hope for CON
tinual success.
Democrats must stop quarrelling
among themselves and save their
ammunition for the enemy. Ate
March 4, 1899, the good old State of
Maryland will be represented in the
United States Senate by two men
whose entire policy is totally ut vari-
ance with the sentiment OF a large
majority of our best people, and for
no other reason than that a number
OF Democrats, through prejudice
caused by grievances, real or fancied,
have either cut their tickets or voted
for the opposition. To crafty feelings
of antipathy to their leaders, they
have put into office men who not only
do not represent them, but totally
misrepreSent them. One faction can
not knife the party one year and not
expect to be knitted again next year
in return. There should be ne kni.
fling and no factions after the nomina-
tions are made.
Democrats are proud and resent in
reference; they cannot be driven. In
fact, they are at times a little stub
born. Then, when Democrat thinks
he has grievance it is worse than
useless to apply hard words to him
and attempt to force him into line, but
if geptler means fail to convince him
that he should swallow personal dis
appointment for the general welfare,
he should not be worried but left to
his own reflections, and in nine cases
out of ten he will come around all
right.
Hartford county has normal Dem.
ocratic majority of at least five hun,
dred. If all Democrats within ouI
borders will follow the rules of ac
ton outlined above we can not only
hold to this majority but increase il
from year to year, for our people a
heart love the Democratic party.
