the country. opened at Engllsh's last night
with her unmatched portrayal of Lady Mac

ever turned out to see the great tragedienne.

have drawn them to English's by introduce

Maj. Johnston does not even permit
them to sign his s'call. Like a
car he proclaims over his own sig-
nature that a Democratic conven-
ton will be held. Was there ever
anything more farcical? Even the
secretary OF the old committee, who
was appointed by Maj. Johnston,
refuses to recognize his attempted
usurpatron as being more than a
piece of sublime nerve after
nerve is no longer needed.
And the call itself establishes no
basis, fixes no definite time for
county conventions, lays down no
qualification for votes and states
no object in view. Worst of all,
Maj. Johnston orders mass con-
ventions at the county seats" al
though the boilers allege as one of
their reasons for boiling that mass
conventions were held in selecting
delegates to the Louisville conven-
ton. At any rate, even his friends
must admit that consistency is not
one of the jewels that adorns the
Majah's shirt bosom. Seriously
speaking, Maj. Johnston, who is
ordinarily a sensible man and a
clever gentleman, is allowing him
self to be made laughing stock
for the public. Since recovering
the nerve he lost at Louisville, the
Majah is in danger of OVERRIDING
the thing, unless, as seems more
probable, his name was forged to
the idiotic "call" published in the
Post and Dispatch while he was
supposed to be at Buffalo Lithia
Springs.

the mean ranch house of an humble

She has planned nothing, calcu-

MAJOR JOHNSTON'S NERVE.

Maj. P. P. Johnston has been
heard from again and has assumed
the reins of the "insurgent govern.
ment" of the Democratic party.
At meeting of the State Executive
Committee June ID, Maj. Johnston
publicly declared that he could not
be induced to continue in the posi-
ton of chairman after his term ex-
pired upon the meeting of the Louis
vile convention. His conduct
while IN The chair on June 81 made
it not only an easy task but genu-
inc pleasure for the delegates otake
him at his word and select another
chairman. Now he comes forward
six weeks after he has been removed
from Office and claims to be chair
man of the democratic State Cen
trial and Executive Committees and
as such issues a call for rump con-
vention August16. If Maj. Johnston
has learned anything about party
law of late years, which is doubtful,
he ought to know that the State
Central committee" has nothing to
do with calling conventions. That
duty is deyolved upon the Executive
committee. So far as we are advis-
ed, only one member of each old
committee Mocquot Of the Execu-
tive and Dunlap Of the Central--is,

BROWN IN THE PAST.

Now that Hon. John Young Brown
has bolted the action of a conYen-
ton because the delegates declined
to break their instructions and nom-
mate him for Governor, his own
opinion of boilers at once becomes a
live issue. In 1865 Hon. Burwell c.
Ritter, of Christian county, was
member of Congress from this DIS
trict. He sought denomination
in 1867, but was defeated in conven-
ton by John Young Brown. The
result of the convention was by no
means satisfactory to Ritter. He
declared that he was not honestly
beaten, and that his defeat was
brought about by fragrant frauds
in the interest OF the present holier-
than-thou candidate. He bolted the
convention and made an indepen-
dent race against Brown and
charged all over the district that
Brown had accepted a fraudulent
nomination. Joint debates were
held and this charge was day after
day reiterated and the discussions
became exceedingly bitter. Brown
was then a young man only -
years of age, in the height of his
power as an orator. Ritter was 81
years old-seven years younger
than Brown was when he himself
became a bolter-but his youthful
opponent showed no respect to Rit'
ter's gray hairs. In the most bitter
and scathing language he could
command, he denounced him as q
bolter, declaring that B. c. Ritter
would ever afterwards stand fol
"Bolted Convention Ritter" In {
speech in this city, Ritter's owl
home, he expressed his contemp
for boilers IN general and Ritter:
bolt in particular. Democrats
then, as now, were, as a rule, true
to their party, and the candidate

The Red Man Not Dying of.
From the Rochester Post Exnress.


The popular belief that the Indians are
doomed race and that they are rapidly
dying off is not substantiated by the figures
of the special Indian census that forms a
part of the last general census. This census
gives the Indian population as 1926, ,464, Of
whom, however, only 1S9.447 are returned
as ll-blooded Indians, the remainder
being those who are in various ways afil-
lated with the whites.
The Indians of today are in narrower
quarters than were their ancestors, but
they are almost as strong numerically as
they were half-century ago. In 1889 the
Secretary estimated the Indian population
as $4,000, and in the following year Gill
bert Inlay reduced this estimate to &C. 900,
but both of these estimates were doubtless
far from accurate. In 1850 Schoolcraft re-
ported the Indian population to be 49,, ,229,
which is only 2,765 above the figures of
the last general census, counting the mixed
bloods. These Indians are divided into
nearly ninety tribes that are recognized
by the laws of the United States, and they
are divided numerically among thirty
States and two Territories. One can only
fSsel thrill of admiration at the vitality
of race that has weathered so well a CEN
tury of adversity

Candidates for Office in Talbot
Couty, Maryland.
Easton, Md, March 23.-Former State
Comptroller j. Frank Turner has announc-
ed himself as candidate for the Demo-
cratic nomination for States attorney of
Talbot county. He ran on the Democratic
ticket in 1897 for the State senate and was
defeated iby Henry Clay Dodson by % plu-
rality. So
James Henry Covington is also candi-
date for the same nomination. 1t is said
that St. Michael's district will send a dele
cation to the nominating convention for
William Jefferson Davis Morris, con-
spicuousr business man in St. Michael's,
and the only lawyer living there. The Re-
publicans will renominate the present
defeated Major William E. Stewart, in
1895. .ss
The Democratic candidate for sheriff
under party rules must be an Eaton man.
Oliver H. Henry is a candidate and the
only one, as yet announced.
The contest, regardless of the States at
torney affair and the shrievalty, will be for
the election of county commissioner for
six years to succeed George H. Trax. In
1897 Frank NJ. Willis, Democrat, was elect
ed county commissioner, breaking into
solid Republican board of three Which
ever party elects commissioner this year
will control the board for four years and it
is on this line the political battle will be
fought, and both Republican and Demo-
cratic nominations will be made with this
end in view, and in both parties other
nominations will be subordinated to this.
