COOKS BORN, nor MApE
Like Poets, They Are Not Products OF
Education.

Good cooks are born, like poets"
said Major ]. B. Quinn. "Once upon a
time I bought a lot of turnips for a
government snagboat on one Of the in
terror waterways, and visiting it not
long afterward was surprised to find
lemon pie being served out to all hands
for dinner. 1 ate piece myself, and,
although 1t was delicious. felt 1t my
duty to call down the steward for
squandering government funds. Where
did you get the lemons for those pies?
/ asked sternly. You sent EN- up with
the others, sah.' he replied grinning.
Why, l didn't send anything except
turnips. l said in surprise Well, that's
what them pies Is made Of he admit
ted reluctantly. The men didn't like
turnips no other way, sab, so ] jess
made EN- inter lemon pies It was
strictly true, and beyond the fact that
he had used some sort Of chemical TO
secure the flavor l was never able to
ascertain how he did it. II the process
was generally known. it ought TO give
a great boom TO the turnip industry. =

try, will always be a very prominent
part of the history of the street. His
winnings mounted up into the millions,
and the writer can recall a day during
the big sugar furry of several months
ago when the principal topic on the
tongue of every Worcester dealer
was not an inquiry as to prices, but as
to chow many million is Lawson ahead
of the game?" Nobody knows probably
save Lawson himself, and il is morally
certain that he will never tell any one.
He gets all he can and he keeps pretty
nearly all he gets-at least, in the way
of Information.
A good many things have been said
about Tom Lawson by his envious
rivals in the marts of chance, and lie
Boston stock exchange, in its infinite
wisdom, has once seen fit to deny his
firm membership In the exchange; but
the man whom they would thus subject
to the petty annoyance of profess
sional boycott, takes it all smilingly
and in good part. and good naturedly
proceeds to furnish the exchange,
through other brokers, with opportu-
mites for big commissions that the
members fairly fall over each other TO
secure.
The whole affair was nothing more
or less than a farce, so far as the et-

ii is unquestionably a fact that 1t has
resulted in making great many new
and warm friends for Mr.. Lawson.
AS is pretty well-known, Mr.. Law
son is a member of the New York stock
exchange. His speciality in the broker
age business is copper, and his position
in New York makes him more than
ordinarily important in the copper
field Just at this time. Notwithstand-
ing the fact that his operations are ex-
ceedingly large he is one Of the most
conservative of firanciers.
But there is another side to Mr.. Law
son. He is passionately attached TO
horses. His stable consists at present
of 80 of the finest harness and saddle
| horses in the United States, if not in
| the world. They include the celebrated
prize winners. Gorgeous, Glorious,

very badly, but this famous Kentucky

Since it's ascendency III 1893, the
Republican party Of Maryland has
carried out all the reforms which 1t
promised the people. If the party
had done nothing more than give the
voters fair and honest election law,
it would deserve their appreciation,
but in addition TO this it has super
seded the dishonest registration law,
7Dy which the Democrats kept them
selves in power, with a statute that
puts an end to the rascally practices
of the opposition. The frauds that
used to 90 with every election in Ma
rvland are now impossible, and i'll no
State in the Union is the franchise
better safeguarded. We have the
Australian ballot system, with the
improvements that experience has
suggested. and the count is absolute
ly honest.
Another beneficient piece of legisla-
ton enacted by Republican legisla-
ture was the passage of the free school
book act. under which all the public
school children of the State are sup
piled with text books gratis. y bill
TO this effect had been vetoed by q
Democratic Governor. Governor
Lowndes has given an administration
so clean, efficient, and businesslike
that second term is conceded him
by general acclaim, and he will have
no opposition for the Republican nom
ination. | feel sanguine that he can
beat any man the Democrats can
select to run for the GOYernorship.-

Samuel Hoff to Hester a. Frantz,
The Republican., 1899-07-06

the platform favored protection and
other Republican ideas.
In 1876, upon an expediency plat
form, two uncompromising Demo
Gratis, Tilden and Hendricks, were
nominated and ii was more fight for
men than principles.
The campaign of 1880 was, to con-
siderable extent, a repetition of that
of 1876, except that a bid was made
for the soldier vote by the nomination
of Gen. Hancock for the Presidency.
Then in 1884 calumny was the prin-
cipal Democratic weapon and Cleve-
land was made President, although it
is morally certain that Blaine had a
a majority of votes in New York,
which was counted for his opponent
and gave him Il preponderance in the
Electoral College
In 1888, '92 and SO the Democratic
party was more pronounced against
protection than at any time during
the period under review. 1t was only
successful in 1892 and then it was
found that.many Democrats were not
in sympathy with their party on this
issue, and the result was the partial
abortion known as the Gorman-Wil-
son bill. The country, however, got
more than enough of free trade under
that law and repudIated it in 1896,
along with the twin heresy of free
silver, which was taken up as an eX-
pediency dogma at that time
Pendleton's greenback theory was
also, at one time, an eXpediency fad
with the Democracy and the party
followed the ragbaby will-o' the wisp
until it tioundered hopelessly in the
bog of reputation.
Now, something new, that may offer
a chance of victory in 1900 is being
earnestly sought The question is
not, rs the new thing right ?" but,
will it win ?" True, the party is en-
countering serious difficulty in form
ulating Il satisfactory scheme, because
Il great big contingent of the organi-
zatiOn honestly believes in free silver
and insists upon making it again an
issue before the people, trusting that
enough Democrats who do not believe
in it can be found TO unite again with
POpulists, Free Silver Republicans
and others, to make it a winning
plank in a national platform. There
are, of course, many Democrats who
will not support a free silver candi-
date, but there are many who are
honestly opposed to the Is to theo-
ry, who will, i'll 1900, support such a
proposition if they think it will in
crease the chances Of success, Just as
they did in 1896.
In fact the history of the party since
the Civil War has been marked by a
constant series Of efforts to find the
clearest way to gain power, not forest
upon a basis of unequivOcal and i'm
movable principle. No nation can
safely trust such a party with the
administration OF its affairs-EX.

In to-day's REPUBLICAN we publish
the announcement of ex-Judge Henry
q. Sanders, of District No. 8, who is
a candidate for the nomination of
Judge of the Orphans Court. Judge
Sanders, having served one term in
the office, is well qualified for the po-
sition. Being located near the coun-
ty seat the expense on the county for
his attendance at the sessions of the
court will be much less than that of
Others who reside at distance. He
is an old soldier, staunch Republi-
can and a gentleman in all respects.

A Party without Fixed Principles.

1t must be apparent to every
thoughtful mind that the Democratic
party is an organization without
fixed principles. 1t is scarcely neces-
sary to review its history during the
last third of century to show that
during all that period it has not been
continuously true to II single princi-
pie. Yet it may be well to remind the
general reader, occasionally, even at
the risk of repetition, of certain facts
which clearly substantiate the accur-
acy of the statement made in the first
sentence of this article.
All Americans well past middle age
will recall the Presidential campaign
of 1868 when Seymour and Blair were
the unsuccessful opponents of Grant
and Colfax. The candidates and plat
form alike were something of strad-
die. Seymour was a northern man
with southern principles and Blair a
southern man with northern princi-
pies, a gallant ex-union soldier and a
pronounced freesoiler. The platform
fitted the candidates.
In 1872, candidates and platform
were substantially Republican. Gree
ly and Brown were the nominees and

What Maryland May Acquire from West
Virginia.
The report and return of the survey
of the boundary line between Ma
ryland and West Virginia, made un-
der an order of the Supreme Court of
the United States is about ready for
the filing. The boundary line was
located by Dr. l.. A. Baur, of the State
Geological Survey, assisted by w. Nc
Culloh Brown. civil engineer, of Gar
rett county. The State of West Nir
ginia will do a little more field work
some time in July, when ex-senator
George Z. Price and Attorney General
Rucker, attorneys for West Virginia,
will be present. The testimony on
both sides Will be completed at the
same time.
The act authorizing suit to be
brought in the Supreme Court of the
West Virginia was passed by the Leg
suit authorized by that act was insti-
tuted by Attorney General Whyte in
1891, since which time it has been
pending. The surveys and locations
were made under the administration

most important question to be set
tied by the locations is the initial
fsfin}.Dr beginning of the line in con
trovarsy, which calls to begin at the
most western source or first fountain
of the Potomac river. Many persons
in both states have always under
stood that point to be at the Fairfax
stone, but when the representatives
,NfM No, lo., n - -
1897 to begin the survey they found Il
spring much larger than the one at
at Fairfax stone, with much larger
stream also. This spring is to the
west of and Il miles distant from the
Fairfax Spring. The Maryland rep
resentatives after satisfying them
selves upon the subject by testimony
entirely satisfactory to them began
the line at the spring so discovered
by them which they called Potomac
spring, The disputed territory, as
the matter now stands, lies between
the parallel lines run from the POto-
mac springs and Fairfax springs, re-
spectively, and embraces tract of
81 square miles. 1t is said that West
Virginia does not dispute the location
seriously, but relies mainly upon her
long continued possession of the land
in dispute.
Attorney General Gather, accom-
panied by Messrs. E. H. Sincell and
w. McCulloh Brown, visited the Fair
fax and Potomac springs, with a view
of familiarizing himself with the locus
in quo preparatory to trial of the
case in the Supreme Court next fall.
The Attorney General expressed him
self as satisfied with the manner in
which the work had been done. He
also expressed confidence in the claims
of Maryland. The dispute between
the states has extended through a
century or more, and has been a great
cause OF trouble to the unfortunate
people living in the disputed terri
tory.

Circuit Court.

The regular July term of the Cir

in the court house in Oakland on
Monday last with Judge David w.
Sloan on the bench. The docket was
called over and proper entries made.
Nearly all the cases were continued
which shortened the term and in con-
sequence court was in session but a
few hours.
Judge Sloan handed down num-
ber of decisions in cases heard at the
adjourned term of the March court
held on June 18th, among them being
the decision in the case of Nethken
VS.. George Marley. This was case
instituted by Howard Nethken
against George Marley, of Deer Park,
for false Imprisonment for which the
plaintiff claimed damages to the ex-
tent of $1,000. The Judgment of the
court was in favor of the defendant.
Messrs. Peddicord & Peddicord ap-
peared for Nethken and Mr.. j. G.
Renninger for Mr.. Marley. Judge
Sloan also rendered a decision in the
case of H. G.. Sanders VS.. Henry Rid
der and others, for damages for the
alleged pollution of q stream of water
which flowed through the farm of the
plaintiff and furnished power with
which a mill was operated. The de-
cision of the court was in favor of the
defendants.
