FARMERS WOULD

Action Taken by Po-
mona Grange.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

STOCKTON. Dec. Sat the last meet

some very strong resolutions were passed
Members of the Grange called attention
TO the salaries paid county officials and
announced that they will not support any
candidate for the Legislature who will not
work for a reduction of salaries TO con-
form to the income of a farmer. The fol-
lowing are the resolutions in full:

Ter or the soil IL constantly descending in the
social scale. and the occuDation Of the farmer
is being brought into disrepute. and believing
that we are fast drifting to a peasantry. and
whereas, We view with alarm the fact that
nearly all Of the moneyed institutions OF the
State are loading up with land taken on mort
cages, and believing that this lamentable state
OF affairs Is due to unjust taxation and high
salaries paid State and county officials and
salaried people in general. and believing that
said salaries are out OF all proportion TO the
Income of farmers and business men. therefore

ADVERTISEMENTS.
TWO FINE SPECIMENS
Of Physical Manhood.

No form OF athletic exercise demands
such perfect physical condition as prize
fighting. Every muscle In the body must
be fully developed and supple, and the
heart. lungs and stomach must act 10 per-
fection.
Whether we indorse prize nghung or not
It is, nevertheless. interesting TO know
the manner by which men arrive at such
physical perfection.
James .Ieffries, the present champion
heavyweight OF the world. and his gal
liant opponent, Tom Sharkey, ia the great
est pugilistic encounter that has ever
taken place. both pursued much the same
course OF training and the first and most
important part of this training was TO get
the stomach in condition and TO keep the
digestion absolutely perfect, so that every
muscle AMI nerve would be at its highest
capabilities.
This was not done by a secret patent
medicine, but both OF these great pusil-
lists used 4 we'll known natural digestive

comfort after eating. They rest the stum-
ach and restore II 10 a healthful condi-
toin. i heartily recommend them. ."
Signed. Thos. J. Sharkey.
The advantage OF the daily use OF Stu
arts Dyspepsia Tablets is that they keep
people well and ward off sickness and are
equally valuable TO well persons as to the
dyspeptics. Another advantage is that
these tablets contain no cathartics, or poi
sons OF any character. but simply diges-
tive ferments which are found in every
healthy stomach, and when digestion is
imperfect IL is because the stomach lacks
some Of these elements and Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets supply II.
They are no cheap cathartic, but a per-
fectly safe and efficient digestive and the
demand for them is greater than the gale

bined. No remedy could possibly reach
such a place in public esteem except as
the result OF positive merit
Full sized packages are sold by all
druggists at so cents and the best haoit
you can possibly form is to take a Sru-
art Tablet after each meal. They make
weak stomachs strong and keep strong
stomachs vigorous.

DON'T BLAME THE NEGRO

There we're many people in this
State who hooted 1T the idea of the
race issue having auY effect i'll he
campaign Just closed. We think now
that they realize thGt they were
wrong. 1t Gid indeed cat d promi-
nent figure and vii, continue to do so
as long rs it remains unsettled. We
do not blame the negro nearly SO much
as the Republican politicians. Men
who ought and do know better are
really the cause of this outlawress.
The election on Tuesday was not e.
rebuke to the negro nearly SO much
as it was to the political orators who
imflamed their minds. Take foc ia
stance the speech OF Attorney General
Gaither-a man sworn 20 enforce the
law-at the Republican meeting ia
Bel Air on November /. 1t was
enough to disgust even the Africans
themselves and made votes for the
Democrats. So we might mention
many other cases when they are buoy
ed up by incentives and promises
held out to them and magnifying
their own Importance to such an ex-
tent, that they at last come to feel
that the law is no check to any crime
they can commit. We wish to
reiterate that the Republican leaders
themselves are largely responsible
for the dep!orable state of affairs
brought about by negro rufIianism.

SENATOR CRoTHERs FOE PRESI
DENT OF THE STATE SENATE.

The political leaders are now look
ing around seeking the best timber for
President of the Senate. They have
plenty of available material to chose
from and we feel sure cannot go astray
in their selection. This is very i'm
portant position from several stand
points. In the first place the chief
executive of this august body has the
absolute appointment of all commit,
tees by whom all proposed laws must
necessarily be considered. On him
depends, in a large measure, the en-
actment of all legislation. BY far,
however, the Importance of his posi-
tion is the possibility of becoming
Governor in case of the death or rasig-
nation of Governor-elect Smith. Sew
eral times il the history of this State
has the President of the Senate been
elevated to the Gubernatorial office,
hence we all can realize how impor-
tant it is to make careful selection.
There is one among several whom
we think is eminently qualified for
this important position, and that is
Senator Austin L. Crothers, of Cecil
county, This is his second term as
State Senator, and he has acquitted
him self with dignity and marked
ability. In the higher position as
President Of the body, where he has
made his presence felt, we feel sure
that the Senate would honor itself in
honoriDg him.

LEGALIZE TIE PRIMARIES.

Last week we called attention to the
Importance of legalizing the primaries
and invited intelligent consideration
from our readers. Among the letters
received commencing the change we
publish one from ex-Judge George Y.
Maynadier. We commend it's careful
perusal by our readers.
There is indeed no question about
the desirabiliJy of change. Every
one seems to feel that this is the OPP
perfume time as it will be two years
before another local election is held,
the voters will have plenty of time to
consider carefully the workings Of
the new system. All signs now point
to Democratic success, both local and
national. People everywhere are
sick and tired of Republican rule.
They are disguised with the party, not
only in Maryland but all over the
United States, as the last election
plainly shows. A careful analysis of
the returns as compared with like
elections in 1895, when Governors and
other State officers were chosen. the
year before the Presidential election
shows as follows:
