Queer Politics in cecil county.


Cecil county is full of politics at all
times, and this year the people are
getting more than their share OF the
devious ways that arc followed in this
attractive, but elusive, game.
Maryland is tc elect q governor next
fall, and Hon. John s. Writ of Elkton
is spoken of as a suitable candidate for
the nomination. And as tho two lead
ing aspirsnts. x-Postmaster Warfield
of Baltimore and Congressman John
Walter Smith of the Eastern Shore,
arc likely to have an exciting fight, a
compromise nomination may be the
result.
Cecil county primaries were held
early in the summer, and four delegates
to the State convention selected. They
were instructed to vote for Writ for
governor. But it appears that these
primaries were not called in accordance
with the rules of the State committee,
and others were ordered for Saturday
last. The Writ followers upheld the
new primaries, and the Crothers faction
resisted the interference of the State
committee and held that the earlier
primaries were duly legal. However,
both factions went into Saturdays
primaries, and the Crothers faction
won.
At the county convention, held at
ElKton Tuesday, the four delegates to
the State convention who were chosen
at the previous convention were re-
elected, by vote of % to 90 over the
four candidates selected by MIR. Writ
to represent his interests. Their in
structions to support Mr.. Writ were not
withdrawn, hut Mr.. Writ asked that
they be not bound by them, as he felt
that his aspirations to be the Demo-
cratic nominee for governor had been
repudiated by the Democrats of his
own county. And SO Cecil county's
delegation in the State convention will
be ms an instructed delegation, and Mr..
Wirt's name is not likely to go before
the convention.
There are many methods of endorsing
a candidate for public office, but one o.
the strangest is to beat man at thu
primaries, refuse him his selection il
convention, and choose delegates mo-
satisfactory to him, even although the,
we're instructed to vote for his nomina
ton. 1t is small wonder that Mr.. Wir
would not accept such an endorsement
But why must the Democrats o
Cecil county persist in these unseeml.
fractional fights, when prospects of vic
tory encourage the Democratic party o
the State this year?

According to General Funston land
he is right ON the ground and ought to
know-more craftsmanship and less
gunpowder would facilitate a SETTLE
ment of the troubles in the Philippines.
No doubt General Funston is correct.
More craftsmanship is crying need
of the times, not only in the Philip.
pines, but at Washington.

The Leather Trust has increased the
price of leather, and the shoe manufac-
turers must, in consequence, increase
the cost of shoes. And the burden of
this increased cost will fall upon the
poorer classes of people, who cannot
afford to wear high priced, made-to-
order footwear, in which the labor is
the greatest element of the cost of
manufacture. The formation of the
Leather Trust is the legitimate result
of tho protective tariff system, but
tariff organs will insist that it is a
good thing, because few men are en-
ployed by the Trust, no matter how the
great bulk of the people are imposed
upon by the increased cost of shoes.

Ambassador Andrew D. White, one
of our commissioners to the Peace Con-
ference at The Hague, says in mes
sage to the New York World that the
acceptance of the principle of arbitra-

of the scourge of war. How much
bette, is an International Peace con-
ference than a miserable campaign OF

The unanimous testimony Of the
invalided soldiers from the Philippines
who are now in the government hos
pital at Presidio, near San Francisco,
is that General Otis is an incompetent
commander and has miserably mis-
managed the campaign. There can be
no doubt of the correctness Of this
unanimous sentiment; and Otis blue
pencil-more effective by far than his
sword cannot exercise censorship Of
the utterances of these men. Otis is
incompetent, but the administration
clings to him, as it chung to Alger, de-
spite the frightfully fatal results of his
plumbers. Now that Alger has been
turned down, there is hope that the adj
ministration may remove the blunder-
ing Otis. Better far would it be to
stop the war altogether and at once,
but IL it is to be prosecuted, let com
petent officers be placed in command,
so that there will be no further saori
flee of the lives Of our brave soldiers
who have at least upheld American
traditions and American reputation or

An unusual number Of deaths of
children under five years Of age in
Nashville, Tenn, led to recent in
vestigation by the Health Department
into the milk supply. 1t was found
that the dairymen we're very generally
using milk '.preservers, the anti
septics most commonly employed
being borax and formaldehyde. These
are destructive to health, and to their
use may be ascribed the increased
infant mortality. Some arrests have
been made, and others are to follow,
but it is judged, from what is said in
the Nashville papers, that no adequate
penalty will be visited upon the
offenders. Their excuse is their
ignorance OF the dangerous character
Of the drugs, and that plea is expected
to result in their escaping with the
light punishment of fine. Some day,
perhaps, crimes of this kind will be
given their proper name of man
slaughter. Like reports Of the use o.
formaldehyde in milk, and sometime.
of formalin, come from Beloit, Wis.
and from Pittsburg, and it is reason
able assumption that this "doctorlng'

This nation has attained a con-
spicuous position among the powers
within the past thirty years. A few
figures will show us something of
sturdy growth within this time.
Thirty years ago the postoffice ex-
penditures were s23,000,000 and its
receipts $19,000,0O0. This year the
cost has been s105,000,000 with an
income of only 100000 less than
the expenditures. Our population
has more than doubled. Since 1870
the distributed wealth of the coun-
try has increased from II billion
dollars in value to over so billion.
The number of savings bank depos-
itors has increased from 100000
to over 100000, and the aggregate
of deposits from s550,000,000 tc
