Another Word to the Democrats of
Carroll

The ADVOCATE said last week that the
Democrats could easily win in Carroll this
year ifthe nominating convention presented
ticket composed of clean, competent and
popular nominees-men who will command
respect and inspire confidence.
There should be no risks assumed, aud
every nominee should be as acceptable to the
people as every other nominee. Fortunately
there are but few candidates, and the con-
yention will not be much hampered in select
ing nominees In fact there ought not to be
any candidates is candidates actively
working for nomnations-an The convention
should be left free and untrammeIed to select
the very best men in the county for the va
rious places on the ticket. Men whom the
party needs should be nominated, not simply
those who want office. This is time that
any Democrat should be willing to make
some sacrifice for his party, and no one
should feel at liberty to decline nomination.
Dr. Herring did not want the nomination FOR
State Senator eighteen months ago. II was a
personal and business inconvenience for him
to do so, but he was patriotic enough to re-
spond to his party's call and carried Democ-
racy's banner to victory in the hardest fought
campaign the county had known and when
the party had to face corruption fund such
as was never before sent into the county TO
debauch voters.
The patriotism that Dir. Herring showed,
i o,.a NJ ,,loc M
the sacrifices he made, stand as an example to
others. and we feel sure that the party can
call for the services Of any Democrat in the
county with confidence that none will decline.
One of the needs in the campaign is par
ticularly strong legislative ticket, and care and
Judgment should be exercised in selecting
nominees forathe House of Delegates. The
nominees should be men of high character
and popular, and men who will make an ae-
tive campaign, and nominees for all places on
the ticket should be clean, competent and
popular.
In order that the nominating convention
shall not be hampered in making ii .ket we
suggest to the Democrats of every district to
send as delegates representative men-men
Of sound Judgment and men who can lay aside
personal friendships and district pride and
act solely for The good of the party. They
shonld be uninstructed as to candida. es, but
left free to consult together and nominate a
ticket composed of the very best men in the
county Instructed delegates are so hamp-
cred that their judgment is practically OF no
value. TO carry out instructions they are apt
TO enter deals and combinations. These are
never conducive to strong nominations and
harmony, and will not be tolerated this year.
The Democrats of Carroll are ready to give
a solid support to first class ticket. Upon
the action Of the delegates chosen in the pr.
maries next Saturday depends success or de-
feat. A ticket of high character and ability
will win. The fate of one with weak spots will
be very uncertain.

Keeping UP Division.

The single gold standard Democrats held a
convention in Kentucky on Wednesday. Mr..
Carlisle presided and made speech and a
state ticket was nominated. Men differed
honestly last year as to the proper remedy for
financial and business troubles. The curren-
ey question was the leading one in the cam :
paign, and the result of the election settled it
for time. There is no reason to bring 1t up
in the present state campaigns, because the
party charged with correcting financial evils
has not had time to act, and the only conclu-
sion that can be reached for the gold standard
men again setting up ticket is q desire to
destroy chances of Democratic success by
keeping up division. Mr.. Carlisle's course
is particularly to be censured. The party
kept him in public position for many years,
and in the decline of life he has turned

DR.. Tuck and Senator Randall

ANNAPOLIS, MD., July 15.-State Senator
j. Writ Randall last night addressed a letter
to DIR. w. G.. Tuck and was on his way to the
postotfice, when he met DIR. Tuck on State
House HILL The letter had been stamped,
but instead of mailing it Mr. Randall offered
tin person to the Doctor. who was surrounded
by a number of political friends. Senator
Randall explained its contents, but DR.. Tuck
refused to accept the communication, throw.
ing the letter on the pavement, accompanied
by some uncomplimentary remarks. The
letter was then mailed by Mr. Randall and
was received by Dir. Tuck today. In speak,
ing of the incident, DR.. Tuck, who returned
to Annapolis tonight, said he is not aware of
the contents of the letter. which lies unopened
at his house. He says he told Mr.. Randall !
the mail was the proper channel through
which communications should be sent. Mr.
Randall stated that the letter was simply a
suggestion that the Republican primaries next
Saturday should be fairly conducted, with
recommendations for judges and clerks.

Raise Sheep.


WASHINGTON, July 12.-Colsul Bell, at
state department that the long drought in
Australia will probably be much worse on
sheep than that of 1895. when more than 9,
600, 600 were lost through that cause: Some
estimates predict so great a loss as half the
sheep; and conservative estimates place the
loss at $4,000, 600.
The lack of rain has destroyed all the veg
citation on the ranges, and sheep are being
slaughtered in vast numbers to save the pelts.
All this seasons lambs are dead in most dis
tricts. 1t is declared that one-ftth OF the
finest wool sheep on the entire globe have
persisted, and it appears TO be the American
opportunity now to raise sheep at home, as
the foreign wool market is apt to experience
a great rise. America has too many dogs
to make sheep growing profitable.

Farmer A. P. German.

EILIcors CRY, Nd, July l4.-Wherever
two or more Howard county farmers are
gathered together this years extraordinary
wheat crop is the mann topic of conversation.
The yield is not only very abundant, but the
quality of the grain is most excellent.
''Fairview,f near Laurel, the farm of
which Senator Arthur P. German is the
owner, produced this year the enormous crop
of 3. 900 bushels from 100 acres. The Sena-
tor sold $500 bushels of his crop as it came
from the threshing machine at 724 cents per
bushel. "Fairview'' farm is managed by Jas.
L. Hobbs, one of the best tillers of the soil in
Howard county, but the Senator himself is
no novice at the business of farming, and
takes much delight in agricultural pursuits.
The farm is, in all reports: model one.

Tramps Won't Work.

Topeka, KAN, July Fit seems incom
prehensible that Kansas farmers are appeal
ing for help to save their wheat, offering as
high as 50 per day for laborers, while the
State is swarming with tramps who refuse to
work; but that is the condition now. Thous-
ands of acres of wheat are still in shock be-
cause farmers cannot get help to stack it.
Tramps swarm along the railroads, but they
refuse to work. The people in the towns and
country, however, have organized against
them and refuse to give them food. The
women slam the doors in their faces when
they come TO their homes begging for some
thing to eat, and tell them to go to the fields
and work or starye,

DEPOSITS IN BANK.
They Cannot Be Withheld From In
solvent Debtors Upon Claims
of the Bank.

Judge Dobler, in the Baltimore City Court,
in the case of Frank B. Cam, trustee of }:
Ullman & Co., against the First National
Bank of Baltimore, decided that where an
assignment is made for the benefit of credit
ors. and at the time of the assignment the in
solvent debtor has deposit in bank and the
bank also holds notes of the insolvent debtor
which had not matured when the assignment
was made, the bank could not retain the de-
post in its possession from the trustee and
set off against the deposit the unmatured
notes. The court required the bank to pay
the deposit in full to the trustee on demand.
This point has never been decided before
in Maryland. Judge Dobler followed decis
ions in the State of New York, Pennsylvania
and Massachusetts,

A Hardship In Taxation.

The Appeal Tax Court of Baltimore City
has decided that no attachments can be made
until after 1898, the assessment law providing
that attachments can only be made biennially.
If this decision be correct there can be no
attachments made in the counties, and great
injustice viii be imposed on many people.
In one case in Carroll gentleman turned
in lot of securities. Since the return was
made he has sold about S4, 900 worth of them
and applied the proceeds TO the purchase of
a farm He is taxed on the farm and on the
securities, which IS double tax tor this year,
and if no attachments can be made until after
1898 he will have TO pay double tax next
year also.
