There were whole lot of thirsty men

for beer and other liquids might be
quenched by giving the right tap at

TWO SAILORS FIGHT
One of Them Badly Kicked i'll tie
Face

Two sailors from the survey steamer
Pathfinder had an alteration on
Brewers wharf about ten O'CLOCK last
night, and finally engaged in fight
which. had it not been interrupted by
the appearance of the police, would
have resulted seriously for one of the
combatants named Higgins. Both
men were under the influence of liquor
and pummeiled each other until blood
strean.ed from the wounds on their
faces.
Higgins was knocked down, and 1t
is alleged by witnesses that ne was
kicked several times in the face and
body until rescued by police ofhcer
When brought into the police station
Higgins mouth was swollen up so that
e was barely able to talk, several
teeth being knocked out and the lips
badly torn. Both eyes were completely
closed and all over his head and race
were deep cuts from which the blood
flowed copiously.
He declined 10 make a complaint
against the sailor who assaulted MN
and upon the recommendation OF a
warrant officer the wounded man was
locked UP fer the n 'ght, and Doctor
Emerson telephoned for to sew up the
gashes.
The ships officer stated that the
sailor Higgins is in the habit Of get
ting intoxicated every pay day, ending
u in a night, which puts him under
the care of the surgeon for few days.
The case will be brought up in court at
nine o'clock this morning.

For Good Roads.

1t is reported that Senator Crothers
is engaged in formulating a practical
road law for the whole State, which he
will introduce at the next session of
the General Assembly, which leads
the Baltimore Sun to remark: "This
is most commendable, and taking the
matter up this early will enable Mr..
CrOthers to gather a great deal of use
full information for his guidance. 1t
is a mistake to delay the formulation
of bills until the session begins, and
then hurriedly undertake the work
amidst the confusion at Annapolis.
Many of the defects in our laws are
due to this error. 1t is to be hoped
that Senator Crothers will devise
some way in his bill to provide for
untilizing the labor at the House of
Correction in at least making the
roads in the neighborhood of the in
stitution. 1t would be a benefit to
the roads and to the convicts, and
would be an employment which would
not compete with free labor to any APP
preciable degree

Admiral Schley in the Senate regard

able contention as to which deserved
the honors of the battle off Santiago,
Sampson or Schley.
Senators German and Wellington
united in a fierce attack upon the
Navy Department for favoring Samp-
son over Schley; while Senators Lind
say. Pettigrew, Perkins and money
attacked the whole system of promo

was not warranted by the facts. -
The method of the administration

SINCE the last issue of THE REPUB
LICAN we have been in receipt of
numerous letters congratulating us
upon the stand we took in that issue
on the attitude assumed by the
Board of County Commissioners in
appointing democrats as road super
yisors and ignoring republicans who
stood manfully by the party when it
was a question of party principle
against a large democratic majority
in the county.
We want to thank our friends who
have thus expressed their approval
of our course in this matter, and as
sure them that we shall stand up for
the rights of the republican party
even if we lose personally by so doing.
1t is not a question of dollars and
cents with us. We place party 10y
atty away above that. We now have
in course of preparation for our next
issue another family talk.

SINCE Governor Lowndes has been
at the head of the executive depart
ment of this State he has not lost
prestige by any act of his own. In
deed, we may say, he is gaining
ground every day by the wise and
Just administration of affairs en-
trusted to him at the hands of the
republican party.
In the spring of 1895, when The
REPUBLICAN mentioned the name of
Governor Lowndes in connection
with the Office he now occupies, and
at the same time brought prominent
ly before the public his ability as a
business man of sterling qualities, it
took but a short time for the repubii-
can press throughout the State to re-
cognize him as such, with the result
that when the convention was held
at Cambridge he was the unanimous
choice of the entire organization and
at the election following he swept the
state ITOIll Iilc mountains vi httlItIU
to the sandy shores of the sea by an
overwhelming majority.
Since his induction into office Gov
ernor Lowndes has been ceaseless in
his endeavors to give the whole peo-
pie a clean administration, free from
petty politics and chickering's, with
the result that to-day he is the only
man within the bounds of Maryland
spoken of prominently for nomina-
ton to the office he now holds.
We believe that when the next con-
vention assemblies to choose a sue
cessor to our present Gouernor wise
counsels will prevail and Governor
Lowndes will receive the nomination
was as much unanimity as he did at
the convention held at Cambridge
and that the majority given him at
the election of 1895 will be doubled
the coming fall.
