This seems a fair-sized army for an en-
pire which looks upon its fleet as It's hrst
line of defense and prides itself on keeping
its naval force equal to that OF any ouher
two powers combined. The figures seem to
iustifv the arguments of those who contend
that. unless we contemplate invading the
continent of Europe, the empire has no need
at present of more professional soldiers
Nor does 1t appear very glorious lining to
turn the forces of this empire against a ut
tie state which by turning out all its clti-
zens up to "a years of age can muster a
force of ID 900 men, Good heavens!

The age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1897-1902, 1899-10-22

of the two South African republics seem to
be very much divided. I have just received
from Messrs Lawrence & Bullen little
manual entitled 1.-THE Armies of the
World" by Charles S. Terrain, which con-
tains a vast amount of information appar-
emily very accurate and thoroughly up to
date. On turning to the short chapter
dealing with the South African repubhcs
l find that Mr.. Terrain gives theas war
strength of the Transvaal at 2650O burghers
liable to service, of whom 1900 are between
eighteen and thirty-four years of age.
1t would seem improbable from inis That
the Beers can put at the outside more
than 10000 able-bodied fighting men into the
field. With regard to the Orange IL rec
State Mr. Terrain only states that the NUM-
Der liable TO service is 10000, and the only
permanent troops maintained by this re-
public are a force of eighty field artillery
men. The Orange Free state Is usually
credited with a fighting force Of about lVs-
900 men, and from Mr. .Jerraini 3 figures this
seems likely to be rather under than over
the mark. At this rate the gross total on
paper comes to about. $1,000 for the two
states, of whom probably about 2o,ooo are
abe-bodled men in the prime OF hfe'lana
the rest young lads or veterans
1t is interesting to turn from this to Mr.;
Jerram's estimates of the war strength OF
the British empire. The figures he gives
may be summarized as follows

The Republican Party And The FAR
mer


The Republican party in Maryland
has proven itself by deeds, not words,
the sincere friend of the agricultural
classes. From whatever point criticism
may come during the present campaign
surely no harsh word can justly be
levelled at it from among the ranks of
the farmer. They knew too well that
no administration within their memory
has done so we'll by them as that at tue
head of which is Lloyd Lowndes and
even tiller of the soil of Democratic
proelivities, unless his spirit of fairness
is dwarfed by the most intense partisan
ship, must hesitate before be speaks
i'll of it.
There was the re-assessment law, for
years the uufulilled pledge of the Demo-
cratic party, which the Republican legis-
lature of 1886 among its first acts placed
on the Statute book. 1t is ample
tribute to pay to this measure to say
that it has made the reduction of the
State tax rate from 173 TO 16 cents,
matter that will probably be settled by
the next General Assembl y. provided it
is Republican.
A Bureau of Immigration to develop
and populate the untitled and uninhab-
ted lands of the State, vas an outgrowtb
OF Republican legislation, What this
Bureau has accomplished is evidenced
by the honest aud thrifty colonies of
Dutch that have been planted in the
lower counties of the Eastern Shore
within the last few years
Farmers institutes" were establish
ed by the Legislature of 1896 Auy-
one who has attended these meetings
need not be told that they accomplished
the mission for which they we're created
the interchange of opinion among
agrioulturalists and practical talks en-
farming subjects by experts.
Tse Maryland Horticultural Depart
ment was created by Republican Leg
islature Here the aid of science is be-
ing constantly enlisted in making ex, eri
ments of real worth to agriculturalists,
especially with reference to the diseases
and insects which play havoc among the
crop.
This is the record of the Republican
Party with the farmers in its four years
of government in Maryland Can the
Democrats match it?

Is it the duty Of voter who. believes 10
good government to vote for such a man
Answer it for yourself, and il you an
swer it honestly, Governor Lowndes will
DC reelected by one Of the largest
majorities ever known in the history of
the State.
We will now pass from Col Smith
iud his record to that of Governor
Lowndcs and the work of the Republi-
can party. Four years ago this gentle
man was elected on 4 platform promising
reform and good government, pledging
itself to in every way redeem the State
from bossism and corruption. No one
will ever know by what majority ne was
elected for the Democrats had the election
machinery, and the new election law had
not been passed but he was elected and
in the past four years he has redeemed
every premise and comes before you to-
dry with clear record asking your sup
port that he may continue the good
work which he has tegur. Looking
over these brief summaries of the deed'
Of these two gentlemen, we only asl
you to vote for the one you eonscien
tiously believe will do the most for hi
/ State.
| As Col Roosevelt said; 1--WE, Gov
ernor Lowndes and the Republican part,
rsk you to put US hack, promising to d
as they have done The Democrats asl
you to put them back, promising not t
do as they have dQ"e. Which will yo

their every promise or the men VII

my friends. Shall we have just gov
ernment or shall we not?'

The Good Government Question


With the election drawing near a.
hand, only few days being left between
now and November 9Th, it is the duty
of every citizen of Maryland to consider
seriously the various candidates AID
tickets that will be found upon the Off
cial ballot, their good points. and their
bad, their present and past political
records, what they have done for or
against good government, and what each
will do towards the same grand cause #
he be elected; for in nearly every in-
stance, mah's future can be judged BY
his past. We will take the two cand-
dates for governor first, and try aud
Judge their records in a brief manner,
forgetting for the time being all parry
lines, Judging them simply as man for
man.
In private life ana business, their two
characters are spotless. Political y,
they have both been before the public
long enough to be pretty thoroughly
known to nearly every voter in the State
Col John Waiter Smith, the Demo-
cratic nominee has been closely af6Iiat, d
with his party for COED many ye.rs
and has always been the strongest kind
OF partizan, using his every effort 10
keep his party in power, even when he
knew tina: the foulest kind of crook, d
work was being done BY the old ring
that has had his party SO completely un-
der its thumb and who for years bought
and sold legislation to the highest bid
der, and named the representatives, %
every ticket that was nominated by i 5
party for nearly quarter of a century
During the past dozen or so Of years
Col. Smiths name has been continually
on the ticket, in one capacity or another,
and as was often said the General As
sembly a. Annapolis was not complete
if he were absent Ii bis actions d
Annapolis lad not have been in accord |
ance with his leaders, Messrs. Gorrnaa
and RasIn, it is safe to say he would net
have gone back year after year as 10
did. His record there, is anything but
enViable for if We follow him, we shall
find that he fought to the bitter enl
nearly eyers BIZ. that was introduced 10
the cause Of good tile, but il some in
stances he took the floor and spoke
against the bill. He fought the n,
election law to the bitter end in tie
Senate when William Cabell Bruce was
president Of that body, fought it opeul,
and secrelely until he saw all hope was
gone, and finally voted for it with Other
Democrats. To-day he is claiming to |
have championed this bill that has given
to Maryland fair elections waeA in real
~, his position was one of absolute hos
tility until, for the appearance of things, |
he was compelled to vote iorit. With

"DEATH IN
THE POT"

"Deatl in the pot" That sentence
condenses the story of a tragedy. A
little family gathering. A fine dinner
cooked in the large copper kettle long
disused, and the entire family poisoned
by the accumulated verdigris. The story
was told by the newspapers from one
end of the land to the other. But it was
soon forgotten. The moral of it is, that
the purest of food, put into foul vessel,
instead of ninistering to life may be-
come a minister of death.
If the stomach is diseased it is like the
poisonous kettle, which taints everything
that goes into it. The symptoms are
irregular appetite, undue fullness after
eating, distressed feeling in the stomach,
of fluttering and sinking sensations, pal
pitation, dizziness, ringing in ears, sour or
bitter risings and constipation. Not all
these symptoms may be present at the
same time, but any of them shows dis
ease iii the digestive or alirnentary tract.
The intimate relation of the stomach
to the blood, heart, liver and lungs
makes it medical maxim in exploring
the causes of obscure diseases to "start
with the stomach" 1t is upon this
principle that Dr. Pierce's Golden Medi-
cal Discovery effects so many and such
remarkable cures. 1t cleanses the storn-
ach and the system is cleansed. 1t in
creases the action of the blood making
glands, and the body is enriched by the
purified blood. 1t strengthens the di
gestive or nutritive organs and these
strengthen the whole body by increasing
the quantity and quality of its nourish-
ment. 1t carries off the poisonous, effete
matter In this way it re-establishes
health, banishing the bodily aches, which
are but symptoms of the stomach's
condition.
All medicine dealers sell Golden
Medical Discovery" If they try to
substitute something else, it is because
on Golden Medical Discovery" if you
want to be cured.
