Gov. Lowndes of Maryland has signed
the last of the race track bills. Four out
law track bills were passed by the Mary
land legislature. Three of them are local
and one is a general bill. The local bills
apply to Hartford. Cecil and Anne Arundel
counties. The general bill exempts Wash

whether the general bill, being subsequent

Give Him the Council, Too.

The opinion expressed by a Repub-
lican, whose remark We quoted yeSter-
day, that it had always been a diff
cult matter to get a business man to
accept the mayoralty or nomination
for 1t, and now that one had consent
ed party politics should be dropped and
support given him, suggests that a vote
given by men who hold such views for
DR.. Schiffmann alone will not avail to
give them the business administration
they desire. The mayor has large pow
ers under the present, and will have
larger ones under the new charter. if
adopted, but even then he Is not the
whole city government. He can eX-
ecute, but he cannot legislate. That
power rests with the assembly and
board of aldermen. They can use it to
hamper the mayor or to aid. him; to
help or hinder him in giving the city
business administration of it's af-
fairs
1t Is, then, a matter for the serious
consideration of these Republicans how
and for whom they shall vote among
the candidates for the council. 1t is
essential that Mayor Schiffmann have
of the council in sympathy with him,
willing to assist him. Thus fortified,
he will be in a position where, going
into office completely untrammeled as
he will. he can perform his duties with
an eye single to the best interests Of
the city. applying to its affairs that
excellent business ability which his sue
cess in his own business shows him
to possess. While we are satisfied that
the entire list of candidates for the
council named by the Democrats is
equal in every respect to that of the
Republicans, we can only ask of these
Republicans who have decided to vote
for Schiffmann, in order to get a bust
ness administration, that they give him
Democratic majority in the council.
1t is but fair to the man whom they
will aid the Democrats in placing in the
mayors chair that they do this. 1t
would be manifestly unfair to give him
an adverse majority in the council and
then hold him responsible for what it
would prevent him from accomplishing.

Armored Ships First Battle.

From the neager accounts that have
recahed US Of the battle off Cavite
there seem to have been many Of the

between the japanese and Chinese
warships, fought Sept. II, 1894. The
Japanese fleet numbered twelve ves-
sells, of which three were armored on
belt, and four, including one of the
ermored belt, had their turrets or bat
teries protected. The total tonnage was
36.424 tons, and the armament con-
sisted of four thirteen-inch, four ten
inch. five nine and a half-inch, two
seven-inch, forty six-inch, fifty nine
five-inch, thirty-two 47-inch, and
Lightweight machine guns. The speed
ranged from thirteen to twenty-thrae
knots. that Of the ships most actively
engaged going above seventeen knots
an hour. One hundred and twenty-five
of the guns were quick-firing.
Against these the Chinese had twelve
ships, with a displacement of 38,245
tons; an armament consisting Of five
twelve-iach, two ten-inch, seven eight
and a quarterback, twelve six-inch,
four five-inch, three 4.7-inch and seven
ty-seven machine guns. OF all these,
only three 4.7-inch guns were quick-fir-
Ing. Two ships were protected by a
fourteen-tnch armor On belt and
tWelve-inch on turret or battery, two

armor. respectively one had eight and

and ended with the withdrawal of the
six Chinese ships that were not either
sunk or burned or had not run away.
Three of the Japanese ships were dis

HYMN BEFORE ACTION.

(By Rudyard Kipling.)
The earth is full of anger,
The seas are dark with wrath;
The nations in their harness
Go up against our path!
Ere yet we loose the legions-
Ere yet we draw the blade,
Jehovah of the Thunders,
Lord God of Battles aid.
High lust and froward bearing,
Proud heart, rebellious brow
Deaf ear and soul uncaring,
We seek Thy mercy now.
The sinner that forswore Thee.
The fool that passed Thee by,
Our times are known before Thee
Lord. grant US strength to die!
From panic. pride and terror,
Revenge that knows no rein
Light haste and lawless error,
Protect us yet again.
Cloak Thou our undeserving,
Make firm the shuddering breath,
In silence and answering
To taste Thy lesser death!
Ou' WARY, plerceu WIN sorrow,
Remember. reach and save
The soul that comes tomorrow
Before the God that gave!
Since each was born of woman,
For each at utter need
True comrade and true foeman,
Madonna, intercede!
Fen now their vanguard gathers.
Fen now We face the fray
AS Thou did'st help our fathers,
Help Thou our host today!
Fulfilled of signs and wonders,
In life. in death made clear
Jehovah of the Thunders,
Lord God Of Battles, hear!

"FOr the Charter, Yes"

Every voter who has the interests of
the city more at heart than he has
those of special int A,ests that have
for the charter.
Every voter who believes that the
city's government. instead of a state
legislature, should have the power to
fix salaries of employees will vote for
the charter.
Every voter who believes that those
salaries are too high, and should be
reduced will vote for the charter, for
1t does cut them.
Every voter who believes in home
rule, in the right Of the people of a
city to frame, alter or repeal the local
laws that govern them, instead of rule
by a state legislature, will vote for
the charter.
Every man who would have the pres
ent perpetual franchise of the street
railway made terminable will vote for
the charter which provides that no eX-
tension shall be granted that company
Of it's lines, rights or privileges unless
it. consents to put it's former franchises
under the limitation clause.
Every man who knows that, with all
its excellent features, the present char
ter has grave defects, will vote for the
new charter, that retains the good and
remedies the defects, because he knows
that, under the constitutional amend
ment of 1898, the present charter can
not be amended by the legislature. It
can repeal it, but cannot mend it. The
amendment of the home rule charter
is always easily made If desired.
Finally, not because it is least, every
man who has the interests Of our
schools at heart, who wishes to see
them regain the national prominence
they held before the hand Of parsimony
smote them. will vote for the charter.

Il don't believe that because young fellow
Is disposed to profusion of gold lace that It

ties at all, but I saw a young adjutant go
parading down the street today who reminded
me of remark that was made by Col Nc
Phail, who lives down in the southern part OF
the state, and who commanded regiment In
the Civil war;
1T was after Gen. Pope had moved his
headquarters out of the saddle and was sent
up here to take charge of things He brought
with him from the East lot of youngsters
who were going in for wars aarums and that
sort of thing, and who had got an idea that
the real way to go Indian fighting was to get
on the staff and ar all sorts OF clio his. They
were very expensive lot, and McPhail, who
had gone through the Mexican war, didn't
have much affection for them. He had never
heard that poem about the Dandy Fifth and
If he had he would not have paid much at
tention to it.
Anyway, one day Gen. Pope was walking
along Third street with member Of his staff
when he met McPhail.
" All, good morning, colonel says the
general, what are you doing about here's?
Why, I'm marketing. l want to see what

I'm doing the same thing. and 1 can't

way-'well, 1 don't know. I've looked 'em

Ihere was crowd of patriots last night at
the windsor who had stimulated themselves
into belief that they were doing the coun-
try some good by helping out the militia
men, and they had lovely time. There were
half dozen business men amongst them,
and they were all good singers. One fellow,
commercial traveller, had mprovised a few
verses on the capture of Manila and the de-
struction of the Spanish which he was sing
ing with great effect to the tune of "There'll
be Hot Time" The chorus went like this:

arrived here this morning and, as
usual, attended strictly to business.
At noon walked into the grand din
ing room of the New Blair Hotel and
it was very pleasant to admire the
beautiful decorations, as well as the
many distinguished looking guests,
but one of the most delightful sur
prises of my life came like an electric
shock when looked to my left and
saw my dear friend, Ed L. Williams,
formerly of Mexico. His many
friends will be only too glad to know
that he is manager Of the great West
ern Union Cigar Co., and, to combine
pleasure with business, he is also
leader OF the Wauseon City Band at q
salary that would make the Mexico
band boys smile. We walked and we
talked with hands clasped as only we
knew how and gossipped of our far
away Mexico home and friends. With
best wishes to everybody,
Yours Truly,
