Hard Up for Objections.

One of the greatest objections, and
in fact the only one which is being
urged against Hon. L. w. Sutherlin
by his opponents, is that he is ''too
conciliatory by nature" and there
fore should not be elected to repre-
sent the people in Congress.
How ridiculous
Instead of detracting from his mer-
it, itadds to his many good qualities
and general popularity. Indeed, a
representative of thepeople, who pos
sesses, with other requirements, this
admirable trait of character, is val
liable man, as he can maintain his
views while carrying his points, at
the same time reconciling those who
may not share his opinion.
Judge Sutherlin is winning and en-
gaging in manner, which is not ac-
quired, but came to him in childhood.
Men who were boys with him say he
was always pleasant and affable, and
as a man he is a gentleman. What
the people want is man in Congress
who viii represent them in fact, as in
name, and this Judge Sutherlin will
do aeceptably and creditably, when
he is seated in Congress, as he will be,
beyond a doubt.-Caucasian.

Some Heinous Charges.

The most serious charges we have
yet heard made against Judge Suth-
erlin are:
/. He was born on farm in De-
Soto parish, in this district, and now
has the cheek to try to be elected to
congress from the same district. He
ought to have moved somewhere else
before attempting such a thing-to
the KlOndike, for instance.
2. While he may not have been
personally respOniblefor having been
a farmers son and having been born
on farm, there is a strong suspicion
he would not have tried to prevent it
if he could. This is very serious
count.
3. He is a genial, whole-souled
gentleman, honorable in all his deal
ings; enjoys good health, has strong
vitality, high intellectually, possess
es thorough education, has a natu-
raj ease and heartiness of manner
that indicates clear conscience and
a good and warm heart that endears
him to the people, regardless OF class
or creed. These qualifications are
not considered necessary to the aver
age congressman, and are greatly to
be deprecated.
4. The worst affection of all is that
all the newspapers of the district,
with scarcely an exception, are reput-
ed to have sold out to the Judge be-
fore the other fellows got chance to
work in a bid. This is very rough on
the newspapers, as they might have
done better, if they had held off; be-
sides it proves that the Judge is an
exceedingly active man, and if he
should get into Congress is liable to
do something for his district and peo-
pie. This would be an objectionable
sin, not to be thought OF for mo-
ment.-Shreveport Times.

A FEDERAL REPORT


WHEAT IN MARYLAND AND
DELAWARE AT THE CLOSE OF
FEBRUARY.
At the close of February the CHIEF of
the Weather Bureau issued a request
to crop correspondents for informa-
ton regarding Winter wheat in the
principal Winter-wheat growing states.
In response to this request about one
hundred reports were received from
the Maryland and Delaware CORE
spondents, covering every portion OF
these states.
The general tenor of these reports in
dicated that a larger acreage than usual
had been sown last Fall in most sec
tions; that thefields, at the close OF Feb
ruary, were in general in fine condi-
ton, with fair prospects Of a good
yield.
There was very little snow on the
ground to afford protection, excepting
in Garrett county, but the Winter was
mild and the damage by frost slight.
In the northern-central and the east
ern sections some damage was done by
successive freezings and thawings, by
heavy rainfall, and by. the Hessian fly;
but the total amount of injury was
small.
On the whole the condition Of Winter
wheat in Maryland and Delaware at the
close Of February was very satisfac-
| tory.

BOYS JUMP TRsISS
THE SNORING ENGINE Is NOT

Many boys were seen this morning
around the railroad tracks near West
street jumping on and off incoming
trains. They not only jump on the
passenger coach steps, bur will jump
on the pilot Of an engine as we'll. The
life-guards along the tracks say they
are pOwerless to drive them of. and
are only met by insults and curses
from the young rascals II they inter-
fere with them in any way.
A brakeman stated this morning that
one day he spanked a boy for stealing
a ride on a car and the boy ran home
crying and told his mother of il. She
put on her bonnet and rushed down
the track and abused the railroad man
90 the extent OF her vocabulary. The
men who work on the railroad have to
continually be on the watch lest they
should kill or cripple some OF the fool
ish and foolhardy mlscreants and cause
a lawsuit for the railroad company
who, Of course, will be censured foI
something that the children's parents
are guilty OF.
The guards say il would be a great
relief If the policemen would assist
them in breaking up this dangerous
