ANOTHER OPINION
FROM
SENATOR WELLINGTON

Senator Wellington was in Baltimore
several days this week. He was inter
viewed by a San reporter on Wednesday,
and the interview was published in the
.Sun of Thursday. Here is part of what
the Senator said
''After a careful survey of the situation
| find no reason to change the opinion [
expressed at the time of the elimination
of the conspiracy of Governor Lowndes and
his contederates against me- | believed
then that he would be overwhelmingly de-
teated, and am confirmed in that opinion
now. He will receive at the polls severe
chastisement and will find that the people
of the State, with Americans generally,
believe in fair play. 1t will set the seal Of
their disapproval upon treacherous prac-
tees. Governor Lowndes will be buried
politically in November.
Governor Lowndes, in my opinion,
will loose every county on the Eastern
Shore. He viii receive but little in
Southern MARYLAND The middle counties
will be against him, and Baltimore city
viii give decisive majority against him.
When he hears the news from Western
Maryland he viii find that the friends of
the man who discovered and made him
politically what he is, have resented his
treachery at the polls.

Wellington's Opinion of
Lowndes.

In an open letter to Gov.
Lowndes, September 81, Senator
Wellington wrote
II write more in sorrow than
in anger, but above all there is
present with me for you, min
gled with some pity for your
weakness, inlmedsurable and uR-
utterable contempt for your want
of trankness and truth. 1t will
be unnecessary for me to say or
do more, for at the polls in No
vember the people of the State
will administer to you such a
rebuke as will be sufficient pun
ishment for all that has trans
pred

Should the People or a Soul
less Corporation Rule
Maryland ?

The alliance between John
X. Cowen and the Allegany
Ring places the State of Mary
land in absolute control of the
Baltimore & Ohio railroad.
Those who want the State dom
mated bya soulless corporation
should vote the straight Repub-
lican ticket. Those who oppose
the rule of corporations and
monopolies should vote the
straight Democratic ticket.

GOV. LOWNDES
AND
THE PUBLIC Schools.

Last May, in an interview with the Balti-
more Sun, Governor Lowndes said Il believe
that it is of the highest importance that poll
ties should be eliminated from the practical
management of the public school system.
At that time, while uiferiag that sentiment,
the Governor knew that he had changed the
political control Of every county school board
in the state, and that he hal invariably APP
pointed Republicans 10 succeed Democrats
whose terms had expired. Judging from his
record in regard to appointments OF school
commissioners, it is fair To assume that the
reason every school board is not solidiy Re
publican is that the terms of some Democratic
members have not expired.
When Gov. Lowndes went into Office he
found the school board OF Frederick county
composed Of three Democrats an three Re.
publicans Today, by the Governor mode
OF eliminating politics" from the practical
management of the public school system. the
board stands FIVE Republicans aud one Demo
crat In Carroll the Governor found Il school
board composed of four Democrats and two
Republicans. Today the board has five Re
publicans aud one Democrat. In Cecil the
Governor found board composed Of two
Democrats aud one Republican. Today the
board stands two Republicans aud one Demo
crai. And so /, runs in every county.
Not only have the school boards been
changed. but the boards have changed the
examiners. the assistant examiners aud the
counsel in most Of the counties. In fact the
public school system has been seized as a part
Of the spoiIs Of victory. The conduct Of sew
eral boards has been publicly criticised for
removing teachers TO make room for favor
ties. and down in Worcester there are two
boards eonieudiug Tor the mastery while the
school houses are closed and the children
losing valuable time.
Gov. l4oSndes IS coguzant Of all this. and
knew thai he never failed 10 appoint a Repub
iiean as school commissioner to succeed
Democrat whose term had expired. He kneN
that he had Repuhljcanized every board, and
that the boards in turn have seized nearly
every Office in sight. And knowing it, It is
Iifficul, To account for this sentiment he es-
pressed to the Sun
Il believe that q il Of the highest Importance

Ideal Wheat Land.
From the Agricultural Epitomist.


The ideal wheat land is clover sod; and
next after that, land upon which crop of
COW peas or soy beans has been grown.
Cow peas make splendid preparatory crop
for wheat They belong to that class of
legumes that have the peculiar power of
taking nitrogen from the air and deposit
ing it in the soil They deposit far more
than they use, and the vast quantity left
in the soil when they are harvested, is in
form that is Immediately available to the
succeeding crop; if wheat is sown the plants
take it up at once and a thrifty, sturdy,
frost-resisting growth is the result l am
satisfied that the time is coming when no
scientific farmer will think of sowing win
ter wheat in the older sections of the coun-
try without first preparing the soil for it
with clover, cow peas or some other le-
gume.

Attempt to Bribe Teachers.

Ii any further reason were required why
Gov. Lowudes should be sent back to his
home iu Cumberland, il is foand in his at
tempt 70 bribs Democratic school teachers TO
vote the Republican ticket
Having used the public school system so
far Us he could to build up the Republican
party, be is now trying to bribe the teachers
into voting for another lease Of power to that
party.
Following is a copy of letter he is send
ing out to teachers, particularly 10 Demo-
cratic teachers.
ANxAPoLrs. Nh Oct 10th, %
Mr..
bEAR SIR Il desire TO call your attention TO the
declAraIion of the republican platform having Tor
is object the removal of the public schools nom
politics and an Increase in the compensation OF
Trusting YOU may find it consistent to give our
candidates your support, in order that these ends
may be attained. am.
Very truly yours, LLOYD Lo"Nbks
If that letter is not an attempt to bribe
Democratic school teachers, we would like
some one to disprove it. 1t simply says the
Republicans will increase your salary, vote
for the Republicans and get an increase. The
consideration here is money, aud for money
YOU are invited by the Governor of this great
and proud old commonwealth 10 deny your
principles, sink your manhood, and cast aside
honor and deeency.
And this is the Lloyd Lowndes the civil
service refnrmer, who wants corrupt prac-
tees act passed aud who poses as purist in
politics Away with such hypocrisy. To
obtain a reelection he would buy every mans
vote in the state with cash. There are no
lengths to which he would not go.
Every Democratic school teacher who re-
ceives one of these insulting letters should not
only mail it back to Annapolis, but make it a
point to east ballot agains; this bribe offerer.
Resent the insult.

DR.. Herring

Carroll county has been signally honored
in the nomination of DR.. J. w. Herring for
the position Of the Comptroller of the Treas
ury of Maryland, and the voters of the county
should show their appreciation of the honor
in giving him large complimentary vote.
There is not citizen of the county who does
not know that he is eminently qualified for
the place and will administer the Office upon
street business principles, just as he has con-
Quoted the bank of which he has been cashier
for more than quarter of a century, and just
as he has discharged every other trust con-
fided to him.

JUDGE I. THOMAS JONES.

Judge l. Thomas Jones is considered one
of the most able and upright judges on the
bench in Maryland. So acceptably did he
fill the position that he was nominated for
second term and was elected without opposi-
ton. When vacancy occurred recently in
the chief judgeship the Democrats ofall three
counties turned to Judge Jones, not only
because of his eminent fitness but because he
had earned promotion by priority on the
bench.

Gertrude, aged II years, daughter Of
John Robinson, of Philadelphia, Pa, be-
came infatuated with negro laborer the
past summer while with her father and
mother on a driving trip through Chester
county, and recently ran away and mar
risd him. The appeals of family had
no effect on the girl, and finally the father
had both arrested, as the girl was under
manageable age. She was given until
last Sunday to return home but positively
refused, and when the negro was arrested
she fought the officer.

The Baltimore City School Board admit
deficit this year of from $40, 600 to
$40, 600, 1t is thought that by keeping
down supply expenses and by general econ
omy, that the shortage will not reach over
that amount. Have the school teachers
of Baltimore been approached by Governor
Lowndes to vote for him in exchange for
an increase in salary? The financial show
ing in Baltimore city would serve to indi-
cate a reduction rather than an increase,

New Kinds of Money,

The people of Wilmington will
be spending several new kinds of
money within couple of months
from the present time. Already
few specimens Of it have been
printed in Washington. but the
treasury will not be prepared to
issue it for awhile yet, because it
takes good many millions Of
notes and certificates to fill the
demand, and after they have gone
through the presses they have to
dry for weeks very slowly, so that
the ink on them may not blur in
handling. Besides, only the 81
and 81 silver certificates are
finished; the first design for the S.
has been rejected by the Secretary
of the Treasury, and the other
denominations are to come. The
reason for preparing these new
designs for the paper currency is
simply that these which adorn the
bills now in circulation are noi
considered satisfactory.
