conceded to the men all they asked the re-
suit would be an advance of about 30 per

WHEN the United States Senate

WHEN the United States Senate
finally adjourned last Saturday Sena-
tor Arthur Pue German, of Maryland,
passed from its halls into private life.
He had served in the Senate for eight
cen years, and though he had the
name of being a corrupt and unscrup-
ulous politician, he lived long enough
to demonstrate that be was stronger
and better man than most Of his ira
ducers. He was Democrat to the
backbone, and no combination OF cir
cnmstances could severe him from his
rartv allegiance. He began life AS a
paoe in the Senate. and there was no
feature of public legislation with which
he was not thoroughly familiar. He
had more Influence in public affairs,
50 far as they related to Congress and
political matters. than any other man
in this country, save only the Presi-
dent himself. Few men in public life
have been more bitterly and viciously
assailed than Mr.. German, and two
wears ago, through the opposition OF
those who were jealous Of his power,
he was defeated for reelection in the
Maryland Legislature.
Mr.. Germans political sagacity is
too great, his knowledge of public af-
fairs too valuable, to permit his per-
manent retirement. We believe he
would lead the Democratic party to
victory if he were nominated for Pres
ident next year.

SOME of the newspapers Of the State
are little too free, it seems to us, with
their fault-6nding concerning the late
session Of Legislature. Outside of the
election of a United States Senator,
we think the record Of the Legislature
is an excellent one. Some very ben
efcial laws were passed and some Vi
cious propositions were squelched with
gratifying promptness. We have
personal knowledge that Delegates
Hurst and Morrow, of this county,
and Senator Getzendanner were alert
and active in the interests of their
constituents, and they accomplished a
good deal for the people of this dis
trict. Senator Burkhart was one of
the most industrious and respected
members of the Senate, and Delegate
Frank Harrison, sick though he was,
accomplished the main object for which
he was elected, the passage of a bill
authorizing the lease of the Berkeley
Springs property. Ofcourse, the Leg
islature did some things it should not
have done, and failed to do some Things
it ought to have done; but take it all
in all, We think its record will COM
pose favorably with those that have
preceded it.
