\ special telegram to the Baltimore
Sun from Oakland dated on Monday,
commenting upon the makeup of the
delegation, says:
This list contains the names of the
most prominent republicans of Gar
rett county and the delegation is a
strong one. The delegates, as well
as the republicans of the county. are
anxious that the Just claims of Gar
rett county should be recognized and
will, it is believed, use all honorable
means to carry out the instructions
of the county convention.
Senator Rhvenscroft, in speaking Of
his candidacy, said: II am DESTROYS
that my position in this contest
should be known and understood. |
am candidate in every sense of the
word and propose to remain in the
fight until the end. My county has
greater claims on the nomination
than any county in the sixth district.
Garrett county has never been hon
Ored with a congressional nominee.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
county has always given good ma
jorlty for the republican candidate
for Congress. Looking at it from
this standpoint, the republicans of
Garrett think justly that now is the
proper time for some of the political
plums to fall this way
1T has been said that the delega-
tion from Garrett would be for Judge
Stake. | desire to say for the infor-
nation of those who do not know the
true situation, that after having made
a careful canvass of the county, there
is but one sentiment expressed,
namely, Stand firm for Garrett
county man. and knowing the char
acter of the delegates selected, | will
say that from start to finish they will
endeaver to carry out the wishes of
the republicans of this county"

Coinnel Koosevelt,s Sermon.

There were religious exercises in
the camp of the Rough Riders at
Montauk Point on Sunday last, and
the services were of a character ito
appeal with good effect to the spirit
ual nature of the troopers; but with
all Difference to the more practical
gentleman who participated in the
eXhOrtations it may be questioned
whether any one of their appeals was
SO well calculated to make a lasting
impression on the men as that put
forth by Colonel Roosevelt. In the
course Of his informal talk, which he
called preliminary farewell" the
Colonel gave his auditors this excel
lent bit of counsel:
Now here's thing want to warn
you against; Don't get gay and pose
as heroes. Don't go back and lie on
your laurels, they'll wither. The
world will be kind to YOU for about
ten days, and then it will say; Hes
spoiled by the fame of the regiment
in Cuba" Don't think you've got
TO have the best OF everything, and
don't consider yourselves as martyrs
in the past tense. What | want of
all of you is to get right out and fight
your battles in the world as bravely
as you fought the nations battles in
Cuba.
The little sermon was admirable in
the first place because it was entirely
characteristic of the preacher, whose
preaching and whose practice in this
as in other matters may be said to be
in perfect accord; and it was admir-
able, too, in broader way, because
it embodied so much frank philosophy
and manly American spirit. The
effect of Colonel Rooseveit's latest
deliyerance will be to enhance the
popular respect for q born leader who
has shown himself as level headed in
peace as he was courageous in war.
Moreover, his counsel must have
another notable effect-it will exert
a wholesale influence on the disband-
ing army in general in calculating
the lesson that the battle of life calls
for the same high moral qualities
that gave lustre to the struggle be-
fore Santiago. The country can
never have cause to dread the spirit
of militarism so long as it shall have
among its public mentors such faith.

Silver Going to the Rear.

The confusion of tongues among
the democrats touching the political
issues of the day is very interesting.
We published the fact few days ago
that Congressman Bland had been
defeated in the Missouri State CON
vention in his attempt to keep the
silver question to the front. The
wise Mr.. Bailey, of Texas, who urged
on the war with Spain and strained
himself badly in his efforts to secure
the recognition of the Cuban insur
gents, has been similarly beaten in
the State convention of his party.
Like Mr.. Bland, he wanted to keep
the silver question foremost, and to
this end he opposed territorial eXpan-
sion and Philippinism with all his
might The convention took the
opposite view, and showed that it
considered the silver question a mat
ter of secondary Importance. Mr..
Bailey's own district convention fol
lowed the example of the State con-
vention. These are only two out of
large number of straws showing
which way the wind blows in the
democratic party. The silver cues
ton is absolutely lifeless at present.
Whether it can ever be resuscitated
is extremely doubtful. In our opin-
ion it will never trouble the country
again.-New York Evening Post.

Commander r.. NJ. G. Brown.

Commander II. NJ. 6. Brown, u. 5.
n, retired, who has been holding an
important position at the Norfolk
Navy Yard since the breaking out of
the war, was seen at the Shoreham
last evening.
Commander Brown has never been
a sound man physically since his fear
full experience in the memorable hur-
ricane at Samoa, in which the Tren-
ton, Neipsic, and Vandalia, of the
American Navy, went down, entail
ing the loss of many gallant souls.
Two German ships also succumbed to
the fury of the storm with great loss
oflife, while the English ship Caliope
steamed out to the open sea and es-
capped. For his action in that critical
ordeal his native state of West Vir-
ginia voted Commander Brown fine

Trenton, and it was his plan that

that vessel. By disposition of the
men in the rigging he kept the Tren
ton from being engulfied in the raging
sea, the men being so placed as to
have the effects of sails, being shifted
as the occasion demanded.
a Post reporter asked the Com
mander if a story that had been go
ing the rounds to the effect that the
German and American ships were
almost on the point of fighting when
all of them met their fate, was in
accordance with the facts.
No" was his answer. The rela-
tions between us and the Germans
was very much strained, but | do not
think that there was danger of a fight
at any time between their ships and
ours. The Germans owned the larg-
est interests in Samoa, and they
wanted to have the most say in the
affairs of the island, but it was not
the policy Of Prince Birmarck 20 get
into any trouble with the Americans
The Bismarck family were the main
people in a German company that
operated some sugar plantations, and
naturally they wanted to dictate in
Samoa. But the man of blood and
iron foresaw the coming power of the
United States, and he had no inten-
ton of having any of his warships
precipitate trouble with the yam

with the expectation of being taken
through the war in a parlor-car, with
rosewater fountains in either end and
electric fans along the sides, he was
egregiously mistaken. WAR is he'll "
and when an army, as was the case
with ours in Cuba, has to cut loose
from its base and force its way by
mule-paths into an almost impenetra-
bic and miasmatic country, sickness
and suffering are to be expected. Had
the army been held at the coast until
roads could be constructed and sup
plies forwarded, many thousands
must have died from fever and other
climatic causes. The brilliantly que
cessfui Santiago campaign was, THERE
fore, a humane campaign and wise
one, because it was prosecuted TO a
successful issue while the troops were
yet strong and full of spirit, and thus
made possible the recall of the army
before the deadly climate had wholly
done its work.
If, we repeat, those troops had been
held until all was III readiness for a
forward movement, there would have
been no brilliant victory at Eel Caney
or Santiago, and many thousands of
our brave boys would now beSssep-
ing upon the Cuban hillsides, While
the war for humanity would be as
yet a failure.
1t was also inevitable that unaccli-
mated men who were necessarily
massed in southern camps should
suffer and fall sick. No human fore
sight or agency could have prevented
it, though everything possible has
been done to ameliorate their priva-
tions, which have been grossly exag
gerated.
DR.. |. r. Trimble, chief surgeon in
charge of the train which brought
the sick of the Fifth Regiment home
to Baltimore last Sunday, bears testi-
mony to the careful attention which
the men received in camp. Nothing
to mitigate the sutferings of the men.
1t is the climate that has done this to
them, nothing else"
We sent to the front 100000 men.
1t ordinarily takes longer to thor
oughly organize an army administra-
ton of that magnitude, with its num-
berless bureaus and branches, than
it has taken US to successfully end
the war This achievement has been
a marvel to the whole world.
There were in camp at Tampa in
all 5000 men, and the deaths num-
bered 80. The death rate of every
city in that State was greater during
the same time.
Major Rawlins, of the Fifth, who is
home on leave, states that the condi-
ton of the regiment is not as bad as
imagined by the public, and Col.
Coale writes that hospital supplies
are not needed. Yet in spite of these
statements the guerrilla newspapers
continue their denunciations of those
in authority for alleged conditions
which are largely the creation of their
own disordered minds.
Reports of impartial investigators
disprove the highly-colored state
ments of the sensation-mongers, who
do not hesitate to harrow the feelings
of the credulous if thereby they can
make a market for their wares and
discredit the patriotic men who have
prosecuted the war to a speedy and
glorious end
We mourn for the stricken and the
fallen, but we rejoice for the thous-
ands saved through their heroic sac
ritices. -Belair Times.
