DR.. HERING'S PROMISE,
DIR. Joshua W. Herring said /:

DR.. Joshua W. Herring said:
"In accepting the nomination for
Comptroller l am not unmindful of the
grave responsibilities which may fol-
low. No man can lightly or with sell
fish Indifference regard the holding of
public office. 1t is sacred trust, COM
mitted to the individual for the time
being by the people whose servant he
is, and in accepting it he is bound by
every consideration of honor and good
ctenship to give to the people the
best service of which he is capable.
And l can imagine no higher reward
for "a public servant than to merit and
receive the good opinion of his fellow
citizens. If shall be chosen to the Of
flee for which the convention has NOM
mated me, 1 will enter upon the dis
charge of its duties with this convic-
tion and in this spirit, and with fixed
determination to do my utmost to
faithfully and efficiently serve the peo-
pie of my State.
at is gratifying to me to be asso-
ciated with the distinguished gentle
men who have been named by the con-
vention for the high offices of Governor
and Attorney General, and to indulge
the belief that when the ballots are
counted in November it will be found
that Maryland, SO many years Demo
cratic, has again taken her place, her
normal and appropriate place, among
the Democratic States of the Union"

INCREASE OF CRIME.

"One Of the worst results Of Repub-
lican supremacy in Maryland is the
encouragement it affords the worst
element of our negro population to be-
licve that it will secure them immunity
from punishment for the commission OF
crime. This belief may not he alto
gether we'll founded, and may be re-
gretted as much by the Repubi cans
as it is by us, but that it does exist,
and that they are powerless to eradi-
cate it is evidenced by the appalling
increase of crime by that class of the
negro race since 1895.
"a careful examination of the police
records Of this city reveals the startling
fact that there were more than 1900
assaults committed by colored people
during the year 1878 than under the
last two years of Democratic rule. Mr..
Griffith, the esteemed president of the
Prisoners Aid Society, in his address
of July last, says that Ga per ccntum
of the inmates Of our penal institutions
are negroes. while they only constitute
the onc-fiith of onr population. Though
| have no data for previous years with
which to compare this statement, it is
significant when taken in connection
with what | have previously stated.
1t is true we should not expect too
much of this unfortunate race, which
has so recently emerged from more
than a century of servitude. We
should in all things treat them fairly.
The temptation to do wrong which
Republican rule holds out to them
should forever and at once he removed
from their path.
The best interest of society, the
peace and good order of the State de
mand it, and | believe the intelligent
manhood of the State will so order 1t.
SIN conclusion, gentlemen. we solicit
your acceptance of the nominations SO
hatteringly tcndcred you. Under your
leadership the Democracy of the State
will march to certain victory, and |
predict that the administration of your
respective offices will not only reflect
credit upon yourselves, but conduce to
the best interests of the State

A Judge who recently charged a jury
as follows, deserves to 60 to the head
of his class. He said: "If you believe
what the counsel for the plaintiff has
told you, your verdict will be for the
plaintiff; but if, on the other hand, you
believe what the defendants counsel
has told you, you will give your ver-
dict for the defendant. But if you are
like me, and don't believe what either
of them said, l don't know what you
will do" It's needless to say that,
having full confidence in the court, the
Jury disagreed.

II is JUST AS IMPORTANT

That you enrich and purify your blood
in the Fall as in the Spring. At this
time, owing to decaying vegetation, a
low water level, and other causes,
there are disease germs all about us,
and weak and debilitated system
quickly yields to attacks of malaria,
ETC. By purifying and enriching your
blood with Hoods Sarsaparilla you
may build up your system to resist
these dangers, as well as coughs, colds,
pneumonia and the grip which come
with colder weather. TO he on the
safe side, take Hoods Sarsaparilla
now, and always be sure sure it is
Hoods and not something else repre-
sented to lie "just as good

Candidates Notified.

A notable gathering OF prominent
Democrats filled the Carrollton Hotel
paror on Tuesday, September l9th'
1899, when the nominees of the Demo
cratic State Convention were formally
notified of their nomination by COM
mittee of the convention appointed for
that purpose.
The occasion was rendered more
than usually interesting and important
by the declarations contained III the
letters Of acceptance, in which the
nominees set forth their views upon
questions of present public concern.

REPUBLICAN PLATFORM.

The Republican platform has been
framed with the evident design of eva
ding the actual issues before the peo-
pie, of concealing the truth from view,
and of presenting feigned issues that
have no bearing or relevancy upon the
grave problem that confronts us. The
subject of President Mckinley's ad-
ministration and OF his foreign policy
is one that is of no Importance in this
campaign, but will be discussed at the
proper time what we are concerned
with now is the local government Of
Maryland, and its rescue from the deg
radiation and disgrace of a political en-.
vironment thai is retarding the pro-
gress of Baltimore and causing a reign
of terror in almost every Republican
county of the State.
POLICE REORGANIZATION.
$50 far as our own purposes are con-
cerned. one of the most important
measures that will demand the atten-
tion Of the next Legislature will be
the thorough reorganization of the po-
lice system of Baltimore. Our plat
form deals with this subject without

COLONEL SMITHS PLATFORM.

Col. John Walter Smith, after eX-
pressing his sense of the grave respon-
sibility which he incurred in accepting
the nomination and his gratitude that
he is to have in the contest such able
and efficient associates, declared that
the questions involved in the State
campaign are wholly separate from
those which divide the parties upon
national issues. Colonel Smith con-
tinued:
"At this time our State affairs are
paramount, and it can scarcely be
doubted that the people of Mary land,
without regard to national questions,
will elect the candidates who can best
serve them in the determination of
home issues. In regard to these issues
| shall treat them as lrankl ly and direct
ly as has been my wont to meet all
business questions with which | have
been confronted, for it is my Judgment
that matters which most deeply con-
Germ the people of the State are purely
matters of business.
"If elected Governor, | shall see to
it, to the best Of my ability. that the
laws are faithfully and impartially eX-
ecuted.
80 far as in me lies | shall enforce
strict economy in the expenditures OF
the peoples money, but while practic-
ing the greatest economy | shall not
forget that economy and parsimony
are not Synonymous terms. For pub
lie purposes and for the public good
there should be reasonable expenditures
for improving and advancing the pub
lie intercsts-hy charging the oppor-
tunitics for education, for the care of
the INDECENT, for the promotion of pub
lie enterprises within the limits of the
Constitution.

To Families and Grocers:-

IF you have the slightest difficulty in
obtaining the Old Reliable Rumford Yeast or
Baking Powder, communicate with us by let
ter, postal otherwise, and your wants
will be promptly supplied.
Do not be deceived by any attempt to
sell you an inferior alum baking powder in
place of the Old Reliable Rumford, no matter
what reason is given. Low grade powders
pay better profit but are unfit to use.
Rumford is The Wholesome Powder,
and superior to all others.

NON-PARTISAN POLICE.

'Order and peace shall be maintained
with the whole power Of the State, to
the end that lawleSsncss shall be
checked and the vicious kept under
control, SO that every man, woman and
child may pursue his or her lawful
avocations without fear or hindcrance,
and without regard to race or color,
and when crime is, unhappily, COM
mittcd, it should be swiftly and justly
punished by due process of law. To
this end the first great requisite is that
the police forces in the cities of the
State should he organized and main-
tained as cunstahulary forces absolute
ly free from political control, in order
to prevent the use of such forces for
partisan purposes. Therefore, in the
selection of the three Police Commits
sioncrs for the city of Baltimore not
more than two of said Commissioners
should be selected from any one party.

to fill any vacancies that may hereafter
occur board should be created which
should, under proper rules and regula-
tons, examine all applicants and as
certain their qualifications, both mental

BIG ELECTRIC INTERESTS.
Street Car Companies and Lighting Cen
GERS in the Legislature.

Harrisburg, Jan. s.-One of the biggest
Aghts in the Legislature at the session just
opened will be between the electric light and
street car companies of the entle state, The
street car companies are anxious to have a
bill passed that will give them the privilege
of selling their surplus electricity 70 munich
palities or anybody who desires to purchase
it.
In fact, it is proposed that the street rail-
road companies shall become heat light and
power concerns as well as traction organiza-
tions. By acquiring this increased power
the traction companies, of course, become the
active competitors at once of all the lighting,
heating and power corporations in the re-
spectiye cities and towns.
The passage of such a bill will greatly
cripple the heating and lighting companies OF
the smaller towns, because the railway COM
pSnies could furnish light at a nominal sum.
The bill is in charge of Chris, Magee. who
has vast street railway interests, and he has
enlisted in his cause the powerful traction
interests. He tried to induce Senator Martin
to 20 into the scheme, but the latter refused
because the interests of his friends are in the
power and lighting companies. 1t is said,
however, that Quay has consented to assist
Magee in his scheme, provided the latter
would support Quay for the Senate, which
be did.
There will be millions of dollars involved
in the BATTLE and it is expected to be the
bitterest ever seen here.

SUMMARY STEPS.
Mr.. Feldzer Committed For Violating a
Borough Ordinance.

A couple of weeks ago complaint was made
before the Borough Council that Samuel
Feldzer, proprietor of the Bon Ton millinery
store on North Main street, was obstructing
the pavement with a show case. The matter
was referred to the Chief Burgess. with
instructions that the ordinance be enforced
Accordingly Mr.. Feldzer was instructed to
remove the obstruction, and he did so, but
subsequently he again displayed the show
case and the Chief Burgess removed it, The
case has been in storage in the Water Super
ntendents Office, pending the payment of
expenses by the owner.
Chief Burgess Tabor then swore out
warrant for Mr.. Feldzer's arrest charging
persistent violation of the ordinances in OBJ
structing the pavement. The case came up
before Justice Toomey last night The Justice
says he gave Mr.. Feldzer the opportunity Of
entering bail for a hearing at some future
time, the statement being made that the ac-
cused's wife was very i'll. Mr. Feldzer, how
ever, insisted upon hearing and he was con-
vieted, Mr. and Mrs. c. Holderman and the
Chief Burgess appearing as witnesses, and
Borough Solicitor Burke as attorney. for the
prosecution.
Justice ToOmey then imposed the fine and
costs and Mr. Feldzef offered TO enter bail
until he could consult with his lawyer. who
was not present The Justice ruled that no
bail could he taken after conviction, as the
case was one of summary punishment. II
was question of either paying the ine and
costs, OF going to the lookup. The Justice
says he gave Mr.. Feldzer full hour to NAL Ike
up his mind as to whether be would pay the
fine, but the latter had some reckless advisers
with him and they made Objectionable ie-
l mo rLy ..,fl,. II
Persecuted because he was Jew. Finally,
says the Justice, one Of the advisers said
Feldzer could not be locked up whereupon
the Justice instructed Constable Giblon to
carry out the sentence.
After Feldzer was locked up delegation
comprising David Levine, Levi Refowieh,
Sam Block and Abe Levine hurried 90 the
Borough Council meeting, where the impris-
onment was denounced AS an outrage. David
Levine and Levi Refowch were the chief
] spokesmen. They demanded the prisoner
release under bail. Retowich made remarks
about persecution that led to hot exchange
Of words between him and Councilman
Harkins.
Council decided to send for the Chief Bur.
CESS. Chief Of Police Murphy returned with
a reply in which the Chief Burgess stated
that the case was his, and not the Councils
This position being assumed, Council was
powerless to act in the matter and the visit
ing delegation finally concluded that there
was nothing to be done but pay the fine and
costs. Accordingly David Levine went back
to the Justices office and gave check fol
$3.50, fine and costs, under protest and
asked for transcript of the case. which the
Justice promised to give him. Feldzer wa
then released.

BUSINESS MEN PROTEST.
Request the Ashland Council to Resoind
Car Tax Ordinance.


Sometime SINCE the Town Council as re-
taliatiOn against the Schuylkill Traction
Company in increasing its rate of car fare,
passed an ordinance placing a tax on each
poll, license on the cars and regulating the
operation of the cOmpany's snow sweeper in
that town. This had the effect of restoring
the old rate of fare between Ashland aud
Girardville.
AT the meeting of the Council on Wednes-
day evening number of business men ap-
peaFed and presented a petition in which
they requested that Council rescind the Ordin-
ance relating to the tax on the Schuylkil
Traction Company's poles license for cars,
and restriction of the sweeper, if the Schuyl-
kill Traction Company agrees to pay yearly
tax of one hundred dollars and a guarantee
of the utmost care for life and property
while using the sweeper in our borough
limits"
The petition further sets forth that the
company will issue a workingmans ticket at
the rate Of five cents each way to and from
their work for one continuous passage, pro-
vided Council will rescind the former ordin-
ances.
The petition caused much discussion, aud
the request that a committee be appointed Ia
confer with the Traction Company was not
considered for the reason the latter made nc
such request A committee, however, was
appointed to meet with the business men.

BATTLE WITH
ROBBERS
Polioemen's Deadly Duel on the
Street With Six Miscreants.
ONE OF THE OFFICERS KILLED

The other Kept Up the Running Fight
with the Fleeing Thieves, But was
Compelled by a Second Wound to
Give Up the Chase.
Chicago, Jan. 6.-Six hlghwaymen
who were endeavoring to make their
escape after having held up the dry
goods store Of II. c. T. Boorman. at
S32 Twenty Place, engaged In q
shooting affray with Policeman Ed
ward Wallner and John McCaluey last
evening and both officers were wound
ed Wallner dying three hours later in
the hospital. McCauley was shot in
the arm and hip, but will recover.
When Wailner and McCauley were
called to the scene OF the robbery they
started in pursuit OF the men. The
officers drew their revolvers, but hesl-
tated about firing because Of the peo-
pie on the street. When the six rob-
bers reached an alley they ran be-
hind a fence and opened fire on the
officers Both policemen ran into the
street and returned the shots. Wallner
was wounded at the beginning OF the
encounter, and McCauley was left alone
to battle with the men. After firing
more than a dozen shots at the officers
the six men turned and ran up the
alley. McCauley followed them and re-
ceived a second wound. He was then
forced to give up the chase, and the
robbers escaped.
Boorman and his clerk. Charles Carl
son, were alone in the store when Ave
Of the robbers entered. one remaining
at the door. They robbed Boorman OF
$35 and a watch and took IS and a
watch from Carlson. There IS no clew
to their identity.
