Not as Old as the Washington
Monument.

In the sketches we published last week
of the De nocratc nominees it was stated
that Mr. Thomas H. Lyons. one of the
nominees for County Commissioner dug
the foundation for the Washington Monu-
ment." As Mr. Lyons is only SO years of
re this could not be. What should have
been said was that he used about 200
head of horses for two years, filling in
the grounds and making the apparently
n .tural mound that now forms the base
of Washington Monument and also filling
in old Babcock Lake. The WORK meant
the depositing of about 100000 cubic
yards of earth.
In this connection we take much plea
sure in commencing to the voters of this
county this worthy gentleman who has
had fifteen years of experience in matters
of roads and road engineering, and who,
il elected, will be an earnest advocate of
good highways. There is no subject in
which the public should be more interest
ell nor is there any matter that can be of
greater concern 20 Il County Commas
Toner. Both of the nominees of the
Democratic party for commissioners are
men who will feel that public office is
a public trust" and wi ;, if e.ected, serve
the public with unusual ability and fideli

A Republican Bolt.

The Independent Republicans of this
county, who lately made up ticket in
Was. gton city, revised the list at a
meeting here on Wednesday. The ticket
as it now stands is as follows:
County Treasurer. w. Hunter.
States William A. Maloy.
Sheriff-Rufus H. Vincent.
County Commissioners-Luth Bra
shears, William Underwood
Orphans Court Judges-R. II. Sans
bury, B. F. Duvall, J. S. Mento.
House of Delegates-..Wiliam II.
Squires, Alfred Bailey, DR.. John S. War
ing.
The meeting was under the direction of
County Treasurer Philip P. Castle, of
Laurel; Robert w. Hunter, and eX-in-
spector of tobacco, 3. F. Duvall.
Mr. Castle, as chairman, presided.
Mr.. William A. Maloy, the nominee for
States Attorney, as chairman of the COM
mittee on resolutions, reported ''declara-
ton of independence which was adopt
ed with enthusiasm. This paper declares
independence of the despotic rule Of any
boss, and that every citizen should be
equally free to aspire to the honorable
service of the people in official capacity :;
that promotion should be earned by SER
vice Of the people, not by service to any
one man. The paper further declares as
follows:
1--WE have seen a politician without Pc
cuniary means of his own, after 80 days
of legislative life, with a lawful salary
barely sufficient to meet daily expenses,
Immediately thereafter spending thou
sands of dollars in primary meetings to
secure nomination to still higher legisla-
tive position For years past we have
seen one man power develop and grow
in our midst, inscrutable as the darkness,
remorseless, Unsuitable. We know it has
grown by use of unprecedented bribery
at our primary meetings, by getting up
of contesting delegations and the denial
of the mos. evident rights of representa-
ton at the hands of defiant majority
thus secured for temporary organizations
by tyrannical defiance in convention OF
all rules Of parliamentary law and equity
and fair dealing.
There is but one way to end this tyr
amy. There is but one path to liberty
SO long as the boss remains successful,
he holds the reins and the lash. The
timid recipient of his poor dole from the
public crib tremble at his frown and has
ten, however reluctantly, to do his bid
ding, lest they lose the meagre bride he
has bestowed at the expense of the Govern
ment
Let US be wise in time. Let us beat
him at the polls; strike him in his only
vulnerable spot, and now, or go hide our
selves as best we may from the crack OF
his whip in political obscurity and the

The Coolest for Years.

The cool wave which is now to be sue
ceeded by warmer weather is the most Sc
we're record by the Weather Bureau for
years at corresponding season. The
lowest point reached by the thermometer
was sc degrees Tuesday morning. This
is the coolest known in the first 10 days
of October, says Local Forecast Official
Wall, since 1895. On October 10th of
that year the temperature was down to
So degrees, but nothing since has been so
low.
September also had cold record, the
month having a total deficiency of 30 de-
grees in mean temperature, making it one
degree cooler every day than the average
September The lowest temperature in
this September was AZ degrees, on the
last day of the month. There had not
been such low temperature in September
for II years. On September 30, 1888, the
temperature went down to 80 degrees, but
nothing since had been so cold.

Oehm'S Acme Hall.

The tilt of the sun and these cool nights
are urgent signs of the need of heavier
clothing. Everything, every single thing
man or boy wears you'll find at Oehm's
Acme Hall. Not a smattering of this or
that, but full, complete, brand new
fresh stock of all that's most stylish, best
and of high worthy quality.
The very latest fashions in suits, top
coats, and overcoats, are mirrOred here;
the correct shapes in hats; the newest cuts
in shirts; the proper lasts and styles in
shoes; the most up-to date neckwear, and
other furnishings; everything here. And
a distinctive difference between what
you get at Ochm's Acme Hall, and what
you would get elsewhere, is that at
Oehm's the prices are considerable lower
quality fer quality, and at Oehm's there's
the constant desire to please you after
you buy as well as before, the ever readi-
ness to correct any error, right any
wrong.

Robbed the Grave.

A startling incident, of which Mr.. John
Oliver of Philadelphia was the subject,
is narrated by him as follows; Il was in
a most dreadful condition. My skin was
almost yellow, eyes sunken, tongue coated
pain continually in back and sides, no
gradually growing weaker day
by day. Three physicians had given me
up. Fortunately, a friend advised try
ing Electric Bitters;' and to my great joy
and surprise, the first bottle made a decid
ed improvement. / continued their use
for three weeks, and am now well man.

should fail to try them. Only Scots,

The Father of the Independent
Ticket.

Mr.. EDIToR:-I have positive proof
that am charged with being the father
of the independent ticket. 1t is an honor
to be SO selected, and how l fervently
pray that my offspring may flock to its
standard as thick as leaves in Vallambrose
l want it written on my tombstone, H e
was the political father of brave men, his
name was Leonidas." l rejoice in being
the parent. | had rather be that than to
have it said of me, as great writer WI ote
of "A New York representatives in Congress,
There are some men, never ut heart S
ease while they see greater than them
selves. Such is this gentleman. He must
be everywhere, and everywhere at the head;
and as it commonly happens with those
of his stamp, nature has absolutely dis
qualified him for the attainment by fair
means. Still, however, he drives on to-
wards his object, and in his progress en-
ploys all those little arts that worth and
genius disdain. AT first glance one would
imagine that being like this was formed
for the contempt, or, at least, for the
diversion of mankind: and under certain
governments he would, indeed, be harm
less; but in Il State where all depends upon
the popular voice, l do not know a more
dangerous character. No rebuff, no ill
treatment or discomfit discourages him;
will come in at the back: drive him from
one Office or one assembly and he will get
into another; somewhere he will be, where
lie can make himself talked of. He is
ever the cringing slave of power; he
adores it in whatever hands it may b,
found; as he wheedles democratic popu
lace, SO would he the cruelest despot on
earth: he has not Il drop Of md p 'nd:M b'oOo

This is fearful picture of any man
whose aspirations carry him high enough
to show his moral obliquity. As long as
he remains as reed bird-in his natura
environments-his defects are not so read
lily observed, but when his ambition takes
him from his lowly bogs his defects are
easily seen. We are taught that "eterna
vigilance is the price of liberty" and this
priceless gift is never suddenly lost, but
always by gradual approaches, like the
storming of citadel.
Could it be made effective, citation
should be issued to every voter to appear

lines for the benefit of the community in
which it is printed. No other agency can
nor will do this The editor in proper

The Circuit Court.

This court has been in session this
week and will probably continue for only
one week more. Criminal trials will be
the principal business before the
court, only one case on the civil docket
having been assigned for trial at this term.
A short term of court means less expense
: and consequent benefit to taxpayers.
Mr. R. Irving Bowie was appointed
Foreman of the Grand-Jury, and Judge
Merrick delivered charge that has re-
ceived much favorable comment. His
Honor, in the first place, pointed out the
disgrace and danger of jurors giving pub
licity to matters broughtbefore them which
the law requires should be kept in the
greatest secrecy. He told the Jury, that,
as the Grand Inquest of the State, nobody
stood above or beyond them; that it was
their duty to call to account any official
or body of officials, guilty Of illegal or
lavish expenditure of public money. He
referred to the fact that in an adjoining
county the County Commissioners had
been indicted and convicted Of malfea-
sance in office. The jurors paid marked
attention to Judge Merrick's charge and
it will, no doubt, be prolific of good re-
suits
The following is the only case yet tried:
