are above censure. and who, if elect
ed, will preform faithfully and intelli-
gently any work assigned them.
Surely they would be preferable to
those whose strength lies in their abil-
ity to buttonhole delegates, whisper
soft nothings in their ears, manipu-
late conventions, and then in an ar
rogant manner proclaim, I'VE are
nominated and you must support us
because we are nominated"
1t might as well be understood first
as last that unless the personnel of
our local ticket next fall is such as to
commend it to the better thinking
class of voters it is defeated before
the campaign opens. We don't want
few good men on the ticket, but every
man nominated should be strong and
capable. You ask, "How can such q
ticket be nominated p We answer,
by selecting as delegates from the
several election districts of the coun-
ty men who have no axes to grind
and cannot be turned and twisted by
promise. Send delegates who have
uppermost in their minds the prin-
cipals of the party as enunciated by
Lincoln and Grant and perpetuated
by Mckinley, and the character of the
aspirants for places on the ticket will
be probed and none but the worthy
chosen. 1t has been demonstrated be-
You'd dispute that party expediency'
nomination in the end amount to
this: the deception of delegates, the
creation of factions and the promotion
of the interests of few men. The
principles of the republican party are
too great to be sacrificed. Let every
body get together on common
platform where every republican
feels privileged to express an Opin-
ion ON party affairs, with the assur-
ance that his opinion will be respect
ed. With such feeling pervading
the ranks of the republican party
throughout Garrett county we can
win, but unless we get together and
nominate q good clean ticket our
cause will certainly be in jeopardy
next fall.

If THE American fleet under Dewey
should maintain an effective blockade
of Luzon Island it would not be long
before further organized resistance Of
the FiIipinos to American authority
would be impossible from sheer lack Of
arms and munitions of war. Without
aid from external sources it is evident
that such movement as that headed
by Aguinaldo must collapse when its
supplies of war material shall have
been exhausted. 1t is this consider
alton, no doubt, which infuses Gen
eral Otis few brief cablegrams with a
tinge of optimism. He does not find
it necessary to treat with any insur-
gent. representatives, nor to suggest
to them any policy other than uncon-
ditional surrender. Time and the logic
of events are on his side, and there
is probably more perturbation just
now at Manila over the prospect of
foreign interference than in regard to
any future course of the insurgents.

American troops at Manila are com
manded by a Observation-Disclosures
General Stephen Elwell Otis-which
is of especial interest at this time.
General Otis was born in Frederick

The demand for wood pulp has be-
come so heavy and the rapid clearing
away of the spruce forests so APP
parent that even the Canadians, who
have a vast area of supply, are be-
coming alarmed at the inroads of the
choppers. The temporary failure of
the negotiations for reciprocity may
lead the Canadians to take measures
to limit the export of spruce logs
either by reserving the timber on
crown lands or by some other ex-
pedient. Measures for forest preser
walton are dictated by the highest
practical wisdom. The people of the
United States would have no reason
to complain if the Canadians should
so far profit by our folly as to adopt
precautionary legislation for their
own protection.

REMITTANCES;
THURSDAY, MARCH 2, 1899.
IMPORTANT NOTICE.

In view of the fact that the county
is getting it's publishing done at
greatly reduced rates, THE REPUBLI-
CAN thinks that the individual is as
much entitled to the benefit of cut
rate as the county treasury, if not
more so, for the reason that he or his
property must stand the whole ex-
pense for publishing, whereas that
for the county is borne by the many
and is, consequently, not nearly so
burdensome, individually, being q
mere 6agdteUe compared with the
other.
We have, therefore, decided to re-
duce our advertising rates one-half-
so cents per square for the first inser-
tion and % cents per square for each
additional insertion-on the follow
ing class of legal advertising: Mort
gagee's Sales, Trustees Sales, Admin
istrators' and Executors Notices and
all other legal publications for which
the poor man, widow or orphan are
bound to pay.
Let all interested parties bear these
rates in mind and insist that those
representing them, or who have the
power to sell their property, shall
take advantage of these reduced rates
in advertising property for sale or in
sartinos other local notices

When certain ones they happen to meet.
For instructing our teachers upon the street
And maligning their neighbors they can't
be beat.
Ifby chance they should draw nigh
And had wings | would surely fly.

Encourage Industries.

Every blow struck at legitimate
product industries for Garrett coun-
ty is a blow struck at the farmers and
other laboring men of the community.
He is wise financial legislator who
lays aside his prejudices and seeks by
every means possible to build up in
dustries in the county that will give
profitable employment to that class
which is idle and dependent. This
county needs such and needs them
badly.
Leading men, who are literally the
guardians of the public welfare,
should bestir themselves and invite
capital to the town and county. Cap
ital is seeking Investments, but is is
much like human beings-more apt
to go where it is INVITED and made to
fell welcome.
If Garrett county embraced the
earth it might afford to lay restric-
tions on industries as tight as Eng
land did when the Jews were the
worlds money lenders, but this is not
the case. There is wide, wide world
outside of Garrett county.
If we want industrial works here
we must throw out inducements, even
like the proverbial spider, that we
may have feast of good things from
the proceeds of the payrolls.
Franklin said, MANY little makes
a mickle." five cannot get large con-
Germs let us get all the small ones pos
sible.

The whole country-and Chicago
especially-will be gratified by the
way Lady Curzon is carrying the
Stars and Stripes to the front in her
capacity as the wife of the Viceroy of
India. In honor Of her ladyship it is
now considered quite the proper
thing wherever she goes to Calcutta
to fling out the American flag along
side of the Union Jack. This is not
altogether a personal triumph. Part
of the heartiness in it goes to the
country as well as to our lovely
countrywoman.

FREE from scandal of any sort, with
State treasury greatly improved
during his administration, it is
scarcely to be wondered at that the
republican press of Maryland quite
generally favors the denomination of
the present head of the State. AS a
general proposition, when the princi-
pal portion of the newspapers thus
attest to the wise administration of a
public servant, it is safe to assume
that the words of approval are fully
deserved. Mr.. Lowndes' selection
was not only the part of wisdom, so
far as the conduct of the States af
fairs are concerned, but in party
sense it is doubtful if any man could
have so we'll conducted matters for
the growth of republicanism. AS will
always be the case, the ambition of a
few men for offices which they didn't
get will for time leave slight scars,
and perhaps others have been offici-
ally looked after when they deserved
to be left outside the breastworks,
but these are only incidents in the
years which Governor Lowndes has
been the States chief executive officer
and are mere trifles so far as the pub
lie is concerned. Honesty and econo-
my have gone hand in hand, his chief
aim being the States advancement
and betterment. Petty politics have
'cut no icen and the dreaded misfor-
tunes predicted by the democratic
papers have not materialized. Since
Mr.. Lowndes' induction into Office the
schools of the State have flourished
as never before; in fact the democrats
praise the governor and his party for
what has been done for education,
the sum expended for that purpose
exceeding by $226,0O0 the amount
used for school purposes under the
democratic administration the pre-
vious year. There has been no mis-
appropriation of funds for party pur-
poses, and everything considered, it
is but natural that Lloyd Lowndes
should have clear field for renomi-
nation as Governor of Maryland.

qualities which appealed to men and made
them believe in Mr.. Moody and his work,
no matter whether they agreed with his
evangelical views or not. Himself a strict
'iteralist; giving himself no concern about
the developments of the ''new" theology,
and having a devout and unquestioning
piety as the stimulus to all his work, he
yet placed the main emphasis of his preach
ing on moral integrity of life. This he
steadfastly believed in and this he scrupu-
lously practiced. 1t was refreshing to see
him stand up before his great audiences in
New York city and say in his own blunt
way. "If you are converted pay your debts,
be good-tempered to your wives and chill
dren, make yourself clean in your personal
lives" These we're the first fruits of sal
vation. After all is said, it was this quail
ty of rugged, up-and-down honesty in the
man that gave him his hold and made men
of means ready to give him money for his
great work at Mortified. On all accounts
it is to be hoped that this work will be con-
tinued and developed along the lines which
Mr.. Moody has so well established.

GEN. Lawton,s Message.

Gen. LawtOn has been pointed out by
some misguided Americans as an officer
with views like their own, because he has
been quoted as saying, "What we want is
to stop this accursed war" At the din
ner of the New England society in New
York Friday night John Barrett, ex-minis-
ter to Siam, read letter written to him
by Gen. Lawton in November. Mr.. Barrett
said: Had he lived his official position
would have prevented giving publicity to
these sentiments; as he is gone, but his in
fuence still lives, it is good that they should
be heralded throughout the land" The
letter is as follows:
81 would to God that the truth of this
whole Philippine situation could be known
by every one in America as know it. II
the real history, inspiration and condi-
tions of this unsurrection, and the in
fluences, local and external, that now en-
courage the enemy, as well as the actual
possibilities of these islands and peoples
and their relations to this great East, could
be understood at home, we would hear no
more talk of unjust shooting of govern
ment" into the Filipinos, or of hauling
down our flag in the Philippines. II the
so-called anti-imperialists would honestly
ascertain the truth on the ground and
not is distant America, they, whom be-
lieve TO be honest men misinformed, would
be convinced Of the error of their state
ments and conclusions and of the unfor-
tunate effect of their publications here If
am shot by Filipino bullet it might as
well come from one Of my own men, be-
cause / know from observations confirmed
by captured prisoners that the continuance
of fighting is chiefly due to reports that
are sent out from America"

On. Of AmerIea,s Grea.e.t Editor.


Few men have exerted a greater moral
influence on the American people than
Daniel S. Ford, who died in Boston on
Sunday, at the age of n. His name was
unknown to fame, but for 40 years he had
been proprietor, publisher and editor-in-
chief of the most successful publication of
its kind in America, which has a larger
circulation in Vermont than any news
paper printed in the state, and is a well
coined weekly visitor in hundreds of thous-
ands of homes all over this country and in
foreign countries where interesting and
wholesome reading is demanded. The
wonderful success of The Youths Com
panion was due to the keen business in
stincts of Mr.. Ford and his editorial ability,
which was governed at all times by abso-
lutely conscientious adherence to high
ideals.
Mr.. Ford was q member of the Watch
man company which bought the Compan-
ion in 1857. A difference among partners
led to an amicable separation of interests.
The division was by lot and The Com
panion fell to Mr.. Ford, greatly TO his re-
gret at the time, it is said, as he had then
an ambition to make the Watchman the
leading religious paper of the country. In
order to avoid a confusion of accounts
The Companion was issued with the ficti-
tious name of Perry, Mason & Co., as pub.
fishers. This firm name has always ap-
peared on the paper, and has concealed the
personality of Mr.. Ford.
The Companion brought him great
wealth, but he was a man of deep religious
nature who looked upon his fortune as a
trust, and for years he had been giving i'm
mense sums for charitable and philan-
thropic purposes, his benefactions being
made so quietly, however, that few people
knew from whence the bounty came. He
was warmly attached to the Baptist de-
nomination, and was the main supporter
of the Ruggles street church in Boston.
He made the best kind of a success il
life, giving value received for his wealth
1t would be well for ambitious young men
to remember, in their struggles for fortune
in these days Of elap-trap schemes, specu
lation and short cuts to wealth, the differ
ence between a success like this and that
of some of our famboyant bonanza kings.
The will of Mr.. Ford, which was filed a
East Cambridge, Mass, yesterday, leave
his estate to religious and charitable in
stitutions, with the exception of q libera
provision for his daughter, Mrs. w. N
Hartshorn, and $125, 600 in trust for her
the income to be used for charitable pur
poses. The Baptist Social union of Bos
ton is left $500 outright, and The
Youths Companion will be administered
by the executors for the benefit of the
same organization. There are several be
quests Of $1,000 to $1,000 each to organiza
tions i n Boston. The residue of the es
tate is left to several Baptist organizations
oDe-ninth going TO the Vermont Baptis
convention.

The British feet in Delagoa Bay has
seized three cargoes Of -four shipped from
this country by concern in Pennsylvania.
The British evidently feared that the flour
would be carried from Lorenzo Marquee, a
Portuguese port, to the BOer army. This
seizure is generally regarded as uDjustif-
able. The rule Of international law has
not made food contraband of war unless
there was clear evidence that it was in
tended for the use of the military or naval
forces OF the country to which it is con-
signed. The Transvaal is a land-locked
country and supplies from the outside
world have reached the Beers through Lo-
renzo MARQUEE. There have been sensa-
tional reports that England intended to
seize Lorenzo Marquee. Such action would
be a violation of the laws of nations and
would probably lead to international COM
plicatiOns. The Lokal Anzeiger of Berlin
publishes what it claims to be the text of a
secret treaty between Germany, Great
Britain and Portugal under which the two
former powers will become proprietOrs of
all the African and Asiatic possessions OF
the last named country, England taking
the territory of Delagoa Bay.

There would seem TO be some difficulties
in the way Of successful use Of the elixir
of life which Prof. Metchnikoff of the
Pasteur institute in Paris is said to have
discovered he is reported TO have a Sc
ries of lymphs, each of which will rejuven-
ate particular organ of the body. Physi-
clans will be skeptical in regard to the dis
covery, for the reason that they believe it
is impossible to revolutionize natures laws.
To the uninitiated one kind Of a lymph for
each organ would seem to call for a very
sizable drenching Of the system before a
man would be prepared for eternal youth.
The professor might first experiment on
some of the employees, who are under the
civil service rules.
