AUTONOMIsTs' FEELINGS SOOTHED.
CAPTAIN sIGsBEE PAYS AN OFFICIAL CALL
WHICH Is RETURNED.
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1898-10-13
Never Did and Never Will.

Mr.. POffenberger will shortly begin
his campaign and will ask people to
vote for him for Congress. In accept
ing the nomination from the conven-
tion Wednesday he said that be was a
Simon pure Democrat and felt from
that reason he was entitled to the sup
port of democrats.
He also said, advancing it as the
chiefest reason why he commended
himself to the convention as its choice,
that 'he had never cut the democrat
ic ticket and if he knew himself he
never would" Mr.. Poffenberger
would have every one believe that he
was worthy of the honor because he
had not voted for republican and in
ferred that it was a crime to cut his
ticket. Mr.. Poffenberger could scarce.
ly expect republicans to vote for
him after that remark, and could
scarcely have the face to ask for sup
port from outside his party, for in do
ing so he would ask men to commit
crimes, such crimes as he never will
commit, if he knows himself.
Such a remark will not commend it
self to thinking, independent men. 1t
might meet the appreciation ma
chine ruled voters who never have
called their votes their own but cast
them according to the order of their
boss. DECIDEDLY Mr.. Poffenberger is
starting his campaign in the direction
of the past instead of pushing along
to the neutrality-suspicious. Morning

The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1898-10-13

The Washington Post, a paper
which was not recognized as a gold
standard ally in 1896, takes a very
clear view of the present campaign
and says that if the democrats win
this fight they will have a vantage
ground for the renewed "battle of
Standards that is billed for 1900
The Post further says: but no
amount of political finesse can avail
to keep the one great national issue
out of sight or out of mind in the
election of members of the National
Legislature The Post respects every
political party that stands by its
faith and makes a manly fight for
what it believes in. The Post has no
doubt of the sincerity of the advocates
of free coinage But when alleged
opponents of that doctrine try to
help it along in 1900 by putting it in
the background in 1913, their foxy
ways are not an imperative demand
for commentator.

newal of the cooperation of these
elements, which worked together for
the election of Bryan in 1896.
To make their attitude III favor of

position of general manager of it's
work. You will observe that the
committee represents not only the
democratic party, but the allied
forces that are working with it for
the protection of the republic and
free institutions, and it is in a spirit
of harmony and true patriotism that
we desire your assistance.

Some Rash Estimates.

Some time ago an article was pub
lished which stated that the cost of
stopping train had been figured up
carefully and was found to be about
50. AS there are at least 5000 regular
stopping places for freight and pas
senger trains on the Pennsylvania
road, according to the estimated cost
of SO for each stop, the company loses
$4,3S0, 900 annually by stops alone, or
that in other words, it costs more
than to make the run between sta
tions and pay the train crews. Re-
Gently another estimate has make the
cost of stopping q train go cents, and
even that would run up into millions
of dollars on the Pennsylvania system
in year. A number of years ago
calculation was made that it cost $19
every time train was stopped and
started. At this rate a train would
be used up before the year was out.

in measure to be excused by reason
of the comparative isolation of the re-
gion in which they occurred, the pow
erty of the county and the atrocity
of some of the crimes preceding them.
But this Annapolis affair is in no wise
to be tolerated. There was no ques-
ton that the laws orderly processes
would have comprised the mans pun
ishment according to right standards
if permitted to take their course. His
Identification was complete, the evil
dence of his guilt was perfect, and the
chances of his escape from the grip of
Justice was significant. Nor was there
any prospect of a dilatory treatment
of his case The mob was actuated
simply by a spirit of unreasoning rev
enue, a thirst for blood. 1t matters
not as to their method of disposing of
the prisoner 1t does matter, however,
as to the ease with which they got
hold of him.
Are the jails of Maryland so inse-
cure, the discipline in them so lax,
that any crowd of men can at any
time obtain possession of the person
of prisoner? If these lynchers and
others who have preceded them in the
state could get their victims without
any difficulty, why could not the
friends of criminals thus confined be
equally successful in effecting a liber-
alton? 1t will never do for this flour
ishing State to obtain the record of
having this sort of penal institutions,
whether they be located in the far
ends of the peninsula or in the thick
ly settled and wealthy districts.
"Disrepute of this kind discourages
immigration and scares away profta-
bic settlement. The state cannot
look forward to the growth which is
its natural prospect if it tolerates by
an Indifferent public sentiment this
condition of legal chaos. Annapolis
now has an opportunity to set an
example for the rest of the state by
putting the stamp of effective dis
approval on this crime

TAX ON FARMERS.
Poor Roads Bear Heavily on Them. New
Jerseys Fine Roads.

Poor Roads Bear Heavily on Them. New
Jerseys Fine Roads.
8 Among the speakers at the annual
meeting of the Minnesota Good Roads
association was E. G. Harrison of the
bureau of road inquiry, United States
department of agriculture. During
us remarks Mr.. Harrison quoted fig
ures showing the enormous loss to the
Farmers of the country because of bad
iDads. 1t costs three times as much
10 haul the farm products of the
United States over the present roads
as it would over stone highways.
The saving would aggregate 1926, 600, p
600 annually.
There is a business end to farming,
said the speaker, and the matter of
roads was very important factor in
this connection. Referring to the
cost, the speaker continued:
In New Jersey, his native state,
the cost had been continually decreas-
ing. In the beginning it ran as high
as 5000 a mile. Now they are build
ing just as good roads for $4,000, and
in some cases excellent stone roads
have been constructed for as low as
| 81, 100 mile. But the local condi-
tions were all favorable in this case,
I,tbe stone coming from the fences
along the route.
The expense of road building, he
declared should not fall on the farm
ers alone. A road was public prop
erty, and the general public should
bear part of the burdens of CON
struction. State control, with the
state paying part of the expense, was
the only proper system.
The consequences of improved roads
were shown the best in New Jersey,
the speaker thought. There were
1900 miles of stone road in the state.
Estates that couldn't be sold at $50
or $40 an acre before this new road
era were now selling at 800 to 1925
an acre, while rental farmers were
getting so educated to the advant-
ages of good roads that they would
pay double the price often for land
along these roads. They found they
could haul their produce to market
with half the team force and bring
back double the old amount of ma
nure, with the result of greater fer
tility and larger yields. Another.sig-
nificant result was found in better
schools through the combination of
the smaller ones, the adding of high
school departments, increased social
opportunities and finally a daily mail
delivery.

Under the editorial caption of
"Maryland's Shame" the Washing
ton Star has the following to say of
the recent lynching at Annapolis:
"Once more Maryland has been dis
graced by a lynching, this time at the
State capitol, and under circumstances
leaving no excuse whatever for the
violation of the law. The Governor
is reported as saying he will do all in
his power to discover and punish the
persons who participated in the affair
1t is to be hoped that he will succeed,

A Free Silver Party.

The course of the democrats in a
few congressional districts in States
east of the Allegany mountains, on
the subject of coinage, which has
either been ambiguous or favorable
to sound money, cannot be taken as
an evidence of reputation of the free
silver heresy by the democratic party
generally. Nationally that party is
still committed to the unlimited coin
age of both gold and silver at the 16
to 1 ratio. No better evidence of this
fact could be demanded than the
action of the chairman of the Ma
tional Democratic Committee, Sena-
tor Jones, of Arkansas, who has APP
pointed Elk Governor VIM. j. Stone,
of Mississippi; Ex-Governor, John p.
Altgeld, of Illinois; Senator VIM. N.
Allen, of Nebraska, and Senator
Harry NJ. Teller, of Colorado, to act
in conjunction with himself as a com
mittee on ways and means for the
furtherance of the free silver interests
in the present campaign. This is
combination of democrats, free silver
republicans, and populists; Jones,
Stone and Altgeld being democrats,

Camp Life in Porto Rico.

Mr.. John Pfeiffer, of Oakland, was
in receipt of the following letter from
his son who is encamped with his reg
iment at Ponce, Porto Rico, on Sun
day last, and which we are permitted
to publish:
On last Tuesday evening | received
your letter, for which was anxiously
waiting, as it seemed to be later than
the usual time for me to hear from
you. To say that | was glad to re-
ceive the letter is putting it mildly, as
we boys are just as anxious to have
letter from the states, and especially
from our dear ones so far away, as you
are to hear from us here. When the
mail comes in to camp and the list se2r=-
geant calls out "Mail, y the boys drop
everything, even their good meal,
composed of beans, good fat pork hard
crackers, rice, tomatoes, beef, ETC.,
and make a break to receive their
letters, all of which you can imagine
If some of us do not get letter you
can see disappointment pictured on
our countenances. But nevertheless,
as we are thoroughly used to disap-
pointments we soon resume the atti-
tude Of soldiers in camp life.
1t has been thirty-two days since
we arrived here from the west end of
the island and have been expecting
to receive orders to move to San Jsan,
the capital, but to-day we are no near
err than the first day of our arrival
here. Rumors run wild and rampant
as to our intended move to some.place
or other every day, one to the effect
that by Nov. list we will be at home.
If we would get an order to-day to
move home every man would jump
out of his clothes for joy. Even those
sick in the hospital would forget their
fever and pain and leap forth, pick up
their beds and walk as did the man of
old.
Life in a camp like this is very mo-
notonOus in every detail. Could we
move around from one town to anoth-
er and occasionally go out after the
Spaniards it would afford us some ex-
element and break the monotony of
the present circumstances. When it
comes to lying around camp all day
long with only our daily routine it
does not suit us. As the war is over
we want to be mustered out of the
service and be given our civil and re-
ligious liberties in that one country,
the United States, where pomp and
pride does not rule, but every citizen
has equal rights and liberties.
At this writing am wholly unable
to give you even an idea when we will
be mustered out, as the condition of
affairs in army circles give us not even
a ghost of chance to form an opin-
ion.
Matters here look as though the
Spaniards are unwilling to make
complete surrender, clinging to San
Juan, and it has been rumored that
they intend to make stand and do
battle for the retention of the city
and vicinity. If that be the case on
their part we will show them that
can't hold anything on this island.
They must surrender Internationally
and evacuate as soon as possible or
stand the consequences. But they
is no dependence in the rumor, so we
are ready to quit warfare and come
home.
