CONGRESSMAN Baker.

Mr.. William b. Baker, who has just
been nominated for third term in Con-
gress, is said to be good citizen Of Har-
ford county and personally very pleasant
man. But as a Representative of this
district in Congress he has proven no
nentity. He has simply done nothing,
and not Republican paper in the district
has attempted to show that he has, al
though the challenge to do so has been
made by the ADVOCATE and other Demo
cratic papers.
1t cannot be pleaded in extenuation that
Mr.. Baker had no opportunity. He has
served nearly four years, including an extra
session of the House, during which i'm
portant and momentous questions have
arisen, and yet the second district of Mary
land was silent because its representative
had not the ability to grasp these questions
and give utterance to his views. For four
years the second district has virtually had
no representative.
What contrast there is between Mr..
Baker and his predecessors. Hons. Chas.
B. Roberts, J. Fred. c. Talbot, Frank
Z. Shaw and Herman Stump each served
two terms in Congress, the same period
Mr.. Baker has been there. Judge Rob
erts in his second term became chairman
of the Committee on Accounts, an impor-
tant committee and laborious position,
and he also became widely known as the
chief advocate and supporter of the bill
reorganizing the United States Life Saving
service.
Mr.. Talbot was regarded as one of the
ablest members of the Naval Committee,
occasionally spoke upon measures before
the House, and during his second term
had record for having more private bills
passed than any other member of the
House.
DIR. Shaw attracted so much attention
by his energy and ability during his first
term. that at the beginning of his second
he was made chairman Of the Committee
on Accounts, and made speech on the
Mills tariff bill that was largely quoted
from and was used as a campaign docu-
mept by the Democratic Congressional
Committee.
Mr. Stump, although he served in Con
crosses which the opposite party controlled,
left his impress on the legislation OF
the second term. He formulated and
pushed through bill to limit and regulate
immigration, and was highly praised tor
his work by the press and labor organlza-
tons throughout the country and was made
Commissioner of Immigration by MIR.
Cleveland
Mr.. Baker, who comes before the peo-
pie for a third term, not because he was
called but because he thrust himself upon
his party, has simply done nothing and
he has served, too, in Congresses controlled
by his own party. He has ambition OF no
mean order, otherwise he would not have
aspired to be a Representative in Congress,
but no corresponding ability. During his
incumbency the second district has been
unrepresented, and should he be elected
the district would have no representative
for another term of two years. He is
mere accident in politics, and is in Con-
gress by reason of Democratic disorganlza-
ton at the times he was elected. 1t is
impossible to believe that the voters will
again send him to Washington.

White Man VS.. Negro.

Trouble has been brewing for some
weeks in Western mining camps, and there
have been several outbreaks between the
white laborers and the imported negroes.
On Wednesday, at Virden, Illinois, the
arrival of imported negroes to take the
places of the striking miners, was followed
by a battle between the sheriff $ deputies
and the strikers. Fourteen men were killed
and 25 wounded. Governor Tanner sent
troops to the scene, instructing them to
quell the riot and protect life and property
but not allow any imported labor to be un
loaded at that point. The Governor says
the mine owners are responsible for the
bloodshed.

In connection with the Spanish Ameri-
can war the United States government is
doing one good thing. Before soldiers are
mustered out of the service they are given
a thorough physical examination. This
will be valuable, as showing the per cent
ace of disease contracted, and will also
prevent fraudulent pensions in the future,
on account of disabilities contracted in
the army during the war with Spain.

From the Cecil County (Md.) News.
Unfortunately, closed mills in Cecil
