to cooperate again on grounds of
safety against cheap money, these
sound money Democrats will vote this
year against the party of cheap
money. The fact that John Walter
Smith is a gold man, and that Mr..
German would like to be, does not
hide from their eyes Mr.. Bryan's con-
tinued domination of the national
Democracy and all that it means.
The situation, therefore, would ap-
pear to be much improved for the Re
publican ticket. The independent
press of Baltimore is giving this move
ment very substantial aid. The
Hearld in the morning and the Ne10S
in the afternoon, both vigorously con-
Quoted newspapers, are fighting side
by side with the vigorously conducted
Republican american in the interests
of the Republican State ticket and of
another Republican Legislature.

The decision of the sound money
Democrats of Maryland to support the
Republican ticket next month is based
upon two propositions, as sound as
they themselves are.
In the first place, they recognize
duty toward the state administration
which they helped to call to power.
They supported Governor Lowndes
in 1895 on the promise made by and
for him that if elected he would give
the people of Maryland good govern
ment. 1t is"very generally conceded
that he has done that. The account
he renders of his stewardship, indeed,
is eminently satisfactory to his sup
porters, and provokes very little criti-
cism even from his opponents. Per-
sonally he is one of the most attrac-
tive of the men of education and sub
stance who, whether found in the one
party or the other, have brought
Maryland up to her present proud
position among her sister States.
And SO, as Governor Lowndes has
kept faith with them by justifying the
first vote they cast for him, these
sound money Democrats will show
their appreciation by casting second
vote for him. One good term deserves
another.
In the second place, these sound
money Democrats recognize duty
toward the sound money cause which
they helped to buttress in 1896. Ma
tional issues as well as local issues, are
involved in the Maryland campaign.
Following up their bolt in 1895 on
State grounds, they bolted again in
1896 on national grounds. Mr.. Bryan
and free silver proved to be even
more Objectionable to them than had
the GormanRasin outfit of the year
before. They, therefore, supported
the Republican national ticket UPON
the promise made by and for it that
success at the polls should be guar
anty of prudent management of the
Governments promises and of the
keeping of all the money of the peo-
pie as good as gold. That promise
has been kept, although Mr.. Bryan,
by his strong personality and tireless
activity, has continued the free-silver
agitation and again presents cheap
money as a serious menace to the
nation. So that, both out of ac-
acknowledgement of a promise kept, and

Our Efficient School Examiner.


That Examiner Palmer has faith
fully performed the duties of his Of
flee no man dare question. During
his three years of service he has made
47S official visits as compared with 275
official visits during the last three
years of Democ ratio rule. He has
held an average of ten Local Insti-
tutes per year in the largest towns of
the county as compared with an
average of three by his predecessors.
These meetings have been largely at
tended by teachers and patrons and
have awakened an enthusiasm that
must rebound to the educational ad-
vancement of Garrett.
During Republican rule II first
class school houses have been built
and 10 thoroughly overhauled and
made as good as new. No section of
the county has been favored at the
expense of another. These houses are
scattered broadcast across the county.
The school term has been lengthen-
ed to five and five and half months.
Under Democratic rule the term av-
eraged scarcely four months and at
one time was as short as one and
three quarter months.

lie General Laws, title Elections by
adding thereto 10 additional sections
to follow Section 153 as now
enacted, to prevent corrupt practices
in elections"
Perhaps Mr.. Smith will plead the
statute of limitations as against this
action of his, dating back SO far as
1896. 1t is not necessary to press the
point, because Mr.. Smith bobs up as
serenely in favor of killing anti-bri-
berry legislation in 1898 as in 1896. In
the Legislature of 1898, Senator Put
eel, Republican, introduced a corrupt
practices act on the lines which Mr..
Smiths speechmaking records favors.
By reference to page 1865 of the Sen
ate Journal of 1898 it will be found
that John Walter Smith voted to i'll
definitely postpone the bill when it
was upon it's third reading and final
passage iu the Senate.
One circumstance may help to ac-
count for Mr.. John Walter Smiths
sudden change of heart. 1T happens
that the Republican platform con-
tains the following pledge:
We pledge our party to pass laws
further guarding the fairness and
purity of elections, by placing pri-
mary meetings under careful regula-
tion and by legislation AGAINST
CORRUPT PRACTICES, AND TO
PREVENT THE USE OF MONEY
IN BRIBERY AT ELECTIONS.
1t also happens that the Demo
cratic platform contains no promise
whatever on the subject. Is it posi-
BILE that the Hon. John Walter Smith
felt constrained to advocate anti-bri-
berry legislation merely as a matter of
policy and that he is not truly con
verted after all?

Col. Jno. Walter Smith, the Dem
ocratic candidate for Governor, seems
to be a persistent office seeker and to
be ambitious to have a bird in the
hand while he is after the one in the
bush. He was reelected a MARYLAND
State Senator in 1897 for the term of
4 years. A year after he was elected a
member of the Fifty-Sixth Congress :,
which began March 4th, 1899, and is
now a candidate for Governor of the
State, with his senatorial term un-
expired. and not more than third of
his term as q Congressman elapsed.
In fact he has rendered no service
whatever as Congressman and can
render none until the beginning of
the next session in December. If he
shall be elected which
happily begins to appear doubtful
he will, presumably never take his
seat in Congress at all. In that event
what will he do with the money ht,
has been receiving monthly on his
$5,000-a-year salary as a member of
Congress? Will he regard it as strictly
an upright transaction t.: pocket be-
tween three and four thousand dol
lars, of which he will have not earned
a penny? OF course he can legally
retain it, but what is to be said of his
doing SO, morally? His election, too,
would involve the expense of a spe-
cial election for Congressman from
the First Maryland Congressional Dis
trict, a considerable item to the coun-
ties comprising it. All things con-
sidered, about the best thing the peo-
pie of Maryland can do in the prem
ises is to re-elect Governor Lowndes,
and thus, while insuring the perpet-
uity of the reforms already inaugur-
ated and the adoption of others prom
Use, leave Col. Smith the opportunity
or doing the best he can to earn his
salary as an M. Westminster
Sentinel.

AMONG the offices to be filed at the
election next Tuesday, that of County
Commissioner is one Of the most i'm
pOrtant. There are as many of our
people interested in that as any office
in the county. For this position the
Republican convention very wisely
nominated Peter J. Stephens, of
Grantsvile district, man of integri-
ty, thorough and capable business
man, a successful farmer wich a good
business education, a man who has
reached that time in life when he is
careful in business affairs. One who
by thrift and industry has been sue
cessful in his own business, he will
know how to care for that of his fell
low men. The people of Garrett
county will elect Mr.. Stephens by
large majority and will make no mis-
take in doing so. We predict that he
will be among the best commissioners
the county has ever had. Being one
of the best road supervisors in the
county, and having such u wide
knowledge of the road question, we
believe that some needed reforms will
be introduced which will be beneficial
to our people, and we are sure that
the best interests Of the taxpayers
will be carefully looked after.

PATRICK E. FINZEL, the Republi-
can nominee for House of Delegates
in Garrett county, lives near Frost
burg. He is very active and pro-
gressive young Republican. For some
years he was one of the most success
full teachers in the public schools of
his native county. 1t was while he
was engaged in teaching that he be-
came interested in politics and in his
efforts to advance the cause of edu-
cation in Garrett county he came in
contact with leading educators as
well as with local politicians. During
the session of the Legislature in 1898
Mr.. Finzel served as engrossing clerk
in the Senate and made many friends
among state politicians. He is en-
gagged in merchandising and is post
master at Finzel, a village in which
he has been instrumental in building
up. He is one of the most public
spirited citizens of Garrett county.
His varied experience has made him
a good judge of men, which will be of
great service to him. He is thorough
ly acquainted with all the details of
legislative work.
Merritt Wilson, Republican candi-
date for the House of Delegates in
Garrett county, is a young man. He
is a son of the late George W. Wilson,
who represented Garrett county in
the House of Delegates several times.
He is actively engaged in the lumber
business at Wilson, on the West Vir-
ginia Central Railroad. He is the
head of the Wilson Lumber Compa-
ny, which is the second largest Ium-
Der manufacturing company in Gar
rett county. This business was
thrown upon him when a very young
man by the death of his father few
years ago. He has conducted it very
successfully and has amassed a com
Portable fortune. He is a man of
marked ability.-Baltimore Sun.

Col. John Walter Smith and the Free
School Book Law.
The records of the General Assem-
bly, show that the Republican House
in 1896, passed a bill on February
18th which provided that the school
books should only be purchased after
competitive bidding and advertise
ment of the same in the public press,
while Col. Smith took out the com
petitive feature, in the interest of the
American Book Trust, by an amend
ment which he forced through the
Senate. By Col. Smiths act all com
petition was prevented in the pur-
chase of the books, thus adding great
ly to the cost of the books to the
State Treasury. For proof of the
above statements see House and SEN
ate journal, of the Session of 1896,
particularly page 80 of the House
journal.

THE events of the past fortnight in

cisms of the Democratic faultfinders
in regard to the conduct of the war
by the Mckinley administration.

THE "nigger" supplement issued
last week by the Democrat and the
Democratic press generally through
out the State, was an insult to the
intelligence of the Maryland people
and we are surprised at the short
sightedness of the parties responsible
for it's circulation. The indecencies
contained in the paper were shocking
and if the Democratic party expects
to win votes by such methods it is
altogether mistaken. The day for
"nigger" domination is past-is as
dead as the war issues and will never
be revived among intelligent and cul-
tured people.

than Mr.. Frazee, all of whom stand
the examinations prescribed by law

The old soldiers who years ago
fought so bravely for their country
and their flag have been honored by
the Republican party of the county
this fall by the placing of the names
of five of their comrades upon the
ticket. This record has never before
been exceeded and we are of the
opinion that in no other county of the
State have the soldiers been so well
looked after. Besides this one or more
sons of soldiers have been nominated
by the Republicans. AS is natural

rades and assist in giving them a

A MT. Sommer, in writing to the Skagway Budget, complains very bit terly of the treatment received by employees of the White Pass R. R. Co. Upon the representations of an agent of the company at Vancouver, 5. C., that there was plenty of work at good wages he went to Skagway. On arriving there he found things altogether differ ent; however, he finally went to work for the company and after one week, makes the following statement:
 "I worked four days out of seven. My board bill was 37, poll tax B, doc tor dues S1, total S1l; leaving me a balance of 9l."
 He says that no transportation is furnished to men going to different places on the line to work, but they must either walk pay fare. The men only work ten hours a day and are laid off part of the time at that; the sanitary condition of the tents is not good. Mir. Sommer warns all men who contemplate going to work for the Pacific Contract Co, that his is only a mild case and many are worse.

From AtIin to Douglas.

MT. Otto Gussefeld, formerly of San Pedro, Cal, is in the city and will open up merchant tailoring establishment. MT. Gussefeld has been in the Atlin country for the past two months and being an observing man, is possessed of large store of information concern ing that country. In conversation with a reporter for the News he said, in sub stance:
 "We went in by way of Skagway and took our supplies from there over the railroad to White Pass City, paying a freight rate of from 10 to 13 cents per hundred, and then went on over the snow to Atlin City. On arriving at Atlin we found that we had saved nothing by bringing our outfits in with us. Provisions are as cheap in Atlin as in Skagway, with the freight and expense of bringing them in added.
 "Atlin is a city of probably 20O0 in- habitants and until lately most of the people were living in tents, but the government has issued orders that all tents be removed from the city by June 1st. A number of houses are being erected. Lumber costs about S1OO per thousand and several steam sawmills are running.
 "Flour sells for S6 per sack and other provisions in proportion.
 "Work is beginning on the claims on Pine creek and several are turning out as high as S1OO per day.
 Discovery City is also becoming quite large city and is nearly as large as Atlin.
 "The change in the size of placer claims from POO it. square has caused considerable confusion and many of the claims have been staked seven or eight times.
 "There is very little chance to work for wages, as most claim owners are doing their own work.
 "The general plan adopted in that country by those employing men to work on claims, is that the employee gets his wages out of the first gold taken out and after his wages are paid his employer is entitled to the balance.
 "It will require two years to deter mine the exact value of the mines, but l have no doubt they will prove very rich"
 MT. Gussefield, being an American, found nothing to hold him in Atlin and has come to Douglas City, because this place presents the best opening for business of any town in Alaska.
