The State Convention.

The State Convention of the Democratic
party to nominate candidates for Governor,
Comptroller and Attorney General will meet
at noon in Baltimore next Wednesday, Au-
gust ID.
The Democracy of Carroll will present to
the convention the name of State Senator j..
W. Herring for Comptroller, and the indlca :
tons are that his nomination will be unop-
posed and uncontested-in fact will be made
by reclamation Senator Herring IS not q
candidate in the common acceptance Of the
term candidate. If nominated he will feel
highly complimented, and viii accept, with
thanks to the party. He has not. however,
taken any part, even in Carroll, in moulding
popular sentiment in his favor. The Demo-
Gratis of the state seem to have turned to
Senator Herring with an unusual unanimity
for the nomination for Comptroller, and his
selection next Wednesday seems to be a POI
litical certainty.
The ADVOCATE has been steadfast in advo-
eating the nomination of Senator Herring,
believing him to be the strongest candidate
the party could name at this time. He fills
the full measure Of all that the people expect
in candidate for Comptroller of the Treas
nry of Maryland, or should expect. He
measures up to the Jeffersonian tests he
capable, is he honest. In his case, too, it
is an instance Of the Office seeking the man.
From Garrett to Worcester no name has been
seriously mentioned for Comptroller except
that of Senator Herring, and when the people
select a candidate his nomination is sure 10
bring out full party vote in his behalf 4
fuh Democratic party vote in Maryland means
a Democratic triumph, and that is what ike
ADvocArE confidently anticipates in Novem-
Der.
The leading candidates for Governor are
forme. State Senator Edwin Warfcld, Of
Howard county. now President of the Fideh-
ty and Deposit Company Of Maryland, and
Congressman John Walter Smith. Of Wor-
cester. There are others spoken Of as good
leaders, and it is fact that there Is not a
weak candidate in the field. The race. how
ever, is between Mr.. War6eld and Col Smith.
Both are capable, both are popular, and
either will lead the party to a triumph in No
vember. The choice will be determined upon
other grounds than personal popularity. for
both are very popular with the people. Il j.
an unusual instance, too, where there j. no
sharp antagonism and the nomination Of
either win leave no severe disappointments.
To the mass Of the party-to the rank and
lille. either candidate viii be acceptable AID
will be heartily supported At the polls.

of Thursday says. "The indications now are
that DR.. J. W. Herring, Of Carroll county, has
the call for the State Comptroller nomination.
This would be one of the strongest selections
possible. A inancier of wide experience and
a gentleman of unsullied character, his selec-
ton by the State Democracy would be a

The Tin Plate Combine.


On Friday last an advance OF 80 cents per
box on tin plate was put into effect by ihe
American Tin Plate Company, the concern
which controls absolutely the tin plate indus
try OF the United States. This rise equals
about 10 per cent. since. IS applied To plates
weighing 100 pounds 20 the box, il was from
81 to $500 To state that the trade is aston
ished is to put il mildly. Il would be more
accurate to say that every man directly con.
cerned feels a sense Of personal outrage, which
is all the keener from the fact that, for the
present at least, there appears 20 BE- no help
for it.
The excuse for the advance is that il has
been compelled by the late rise in material
and wages, BAT one can easily see that this re-
quires little examination before being ac-
eepted. The rise 10 tin plate Is not from -
to s.. so per box, but from -. 50 per box, a.
il was a short time before the formation af
the combine This advance Is wholly un-
warranted by anything in trade conditions, ior
even assuming that prices have advanced, il
is generally believed that the Tin Plate Com
pany is now working materials that were
bought long ago. and at much less than the
''boom' rates now being asked.
II is not alone the fact Of the rise thar ear
ries with it the impression of great power IRE
sponsibly exercised; a policy Of coneealment
has been put into effect as to the real eondi-
tions accompanying the advance, and no one
connected with the combine IN this city will
say lust what it means. Here again an eN-
euse is forthcoming that 1--WE do not wish to

Threw Her Child To Hungry Hogs

WEsTcHEsTER, Pa, July 26.-The most re-
voting murder that has startled this county
for years came to light today when the dis
covery was made that Mrs. Fannie Stevenson,
colored, of Hamorton, crushed her infant
childs head with an axe, after which she
threw the body into pen of hungry hogs, by
whom the remains were devoured The muir.
deress is only twenty years old, and with her
reputed husband, Joseph Stevenson. has fed.
It is said that before leaving she made con.
fession of the crime to some one, and that il
reached the ears of the authorities. The lat
ter were prepared to arrest her, and were
only waiting the result Of some investigation
regarding the suspected connection of her
husband with the crime when the couple left
home.

An English paper gives list of what
it terms "the fourteen mistakes of life v
While there are undoubtedly other
mistakes than those mentioned, the
list is fairly comprehensive one. 1t
is great mistake to set up our own
standard of right and wrong, and judge
people accordingly; to measure the en-
joyment of others by our own; to ex-
pect uniformity of opinion in this
world to look for judgment and ex-
perience in youth; to endeavor to
mould all dispositions alike; to look
for perfection in our own actions; to
worry ourselves and others with what
cannot be remedied; not to yield to
immeterial matters; not to alleviate all
that needs alienation as far as lies in
our power; not to make allowances for
the infirmities of others; to consider
everything impossible that we cannot
perform; to believe only what our finite
minds can grasp; to expect to be able
to understand everything; and the last
and greatest mistake of all is to live
for time alone, when any moment may
launch us into eternity.

the fact that the owners of the Alpha

their first source of information. The
