summer resort. The property bought was
in possession of Mr.. Holtz, and the price
paid was 5,4OO The purchasers are
largely interested in the Seaboard Air Line
and other railroad properties, and it is their
intention to still further shorten the route
between Baltimore and the Atlantic Coast
resorts, Ocean City, Rehoboth and Cape
May, by putting passenger steamer on
the route from Baltimore to Love Point
that will make the run in an hour and a
quarter; build a railroad line from Queens
town to Love Point and line from Centre
vile to Queenstown, requiring only about
I6 miles of track. and thereby completing
the circuit and opening direct communica
tons from points on the Queen Anne and
Kent Railroad with Oxford, Cambridge,

south in Maryland and Delaware.

Mckinley and Roosevelt.

The Republican National Convention nom
mated William Mckinley for President and
Theodore Roosevelt for Vice-President.
The nomination of Mckinley had been
known for a year past Mark Hanna would
not allow any other candidate to enter the
field.
The nomination of Roosevelt was known to
all readers of the daily papers for week past.
He pretended he did not want the nominal
ton, but no one considered him honest in his
declension, and the fact that he accepted IS
an acknowledgement of it His nomination
for Vice President is all owing 10 Plat and
QUAY. Plat wanted to eliminate him from
New York politics, and Quay joined Plat to
beat Hanna, who was opposed to Roosevelt.
That the ticket is strong no one contends,
still, it is as strong as the party could present
at this time. Mckinley was the natural and
logical leader Everybody expected his
nomination, and everybody looked 10 Nc
Kinley as the Republican nominee. IL is
upon the Mckinley record that the RepublI-
can party is to stand.
As TO Roosevelt, ne Is u posiufS "eaA"eoS
to the ticket Teddy became conspicuous
some years ago by "kicking" against the reg
ular party organization, and going out of the
state during the campaign. And he was so
conspicuous as being "nothing" politically
that Mr.. Harrison made him member of
the Civil Service Commission. His whole
reputafioe now rests as Rough Rider,- and
he was not colonel, but lieutentant- colonel OF
the regiment, and had he not been Repub-
lican he would not have seen service. And he
did not see much service. The negro regiment
behind the rough riders saved them from an
initiation. The negro in command of the
regiment and not Roosevelt, should have been
nominated if hero of Santiago was needed.
And speaking of the battle of Santiago IT twas
scarcely skirmish in comparison with those
of the civil war Of 1S6l-64. In those days
there was service. The people who became
conspicuous were fighters. We do not wish
to belttle Roosevelt, for we believe he has
animal courage. He has the courage of the
bull dog, but he lacks the qualities for Vice
President His candidacy is regarded as
ridiculous, and his nomination was simply a
defeat Of Mr.. Hanna inaugurated by Plat
and Quay, and no more.

Public Buildings of this County.

The letter from Westminster. published in
the Baltimore Sun of Wednesday last, III re-
gard to the public buildings of this county, has
been severely criticised by many persons who
are familiar with public buildings in the sew
eral counties of this and other States. 1t is
true prisoners have escaped from the Jail here,
and it is equally true that convicts have es-
capped from the State peniientiary and the
Baltimore city Jail. About eighteen months
ago the grand jury and number of resident
physicians of this city visited the almshouse
and made some recommendations of a SAM
tary character, which were promptly attended
to by the County Commissioners. Some
changes have been made in the Jail, and as to
the courthouse there is not in the whole State
a better or more conveniently arranged build
ing, while its fre-proof vaults have no supe-
riors outside of Baltimore. Jails are not built
as securely as penitentiaries, as the occupants
are only confined in them for short time,
neither are alnishouses supposed TO have all
the appliances of a frst-class residence. So
long as the general welfare and comfort of
.t.-, ssl, shoe
should be no complaint.
When all manner farm produce is selling
at low prices, and all that the farmer has to
buy in the way of household goods, and ma
chinery and other products of iron are high,
taxpayers are averse to having their taxes
raised because few persons would like 10 see
their peculiar ideas carried out.
If the correspondent of the Sun would in
terview rural carpenters and barn builders
he would find that not many farmers were
erecting new buildings, owing To The high
price of everything that is used in their con-
struciion, but he would find that great
amount of patching was being done, even by
persons who are considered well-to-do. II is
very easy to criticise but much harder TO exc
cute

Begin the Campaign.

The San Francisco Examiner thinks the
work of the campaign should begin at once.
1t says 1t is not 100 soon To begin The for
nation Of Democratic clubs. The Democratic
party can win the election only by getting
votes, and to get votes there must be plenty
of work done among the young men who are
to cast their first ballots at the coming cleo.
ton and in rousing the enthusiasm Of those
who usually act with the party. but do not
come to the polls unless they believe that
great issues are at stake. The coming cleo
ton will decide the course of The country for
hundred years. We are at the parting Of
the ways between republic and empire.

Trustism and imperialism.



1t is now plain that the Philadelphia Con-
vention is destined to take its place in Amer
lean history as the convention Of trustism and
Imperialism. 1t will endorse the laundering
and un-American policy which has resulted
in bloody war in the Philippines. 1t will
defend the unconstitutional tariff taxation of
the Porto Ricans. 1t will seek to lessen the
de6niteness of the American pledge for the
independence of Cuba. 1t will declare for
foreign expansion. which means the substitu-
ton Of an Empire for Republic.
TheAmerican people will surely not miss the
significance oftheRepublican platform drafted
by Mark Hanna They know that the Phila-
delphia Convention viii be Hanna Conven-
ton, and that Hanna means to carry out the
syndicate dream of Empire. 1t is for the
people TO say in November if the Republic
shall thus be doomed to ultimate overthrow.
The issue in 1900 is the maintenance of
American principles and the preservation of
free institutions.

No More Carpet Baggers
From the St. Louis Republic.

1t is earnestly to be hoped that the signifi.
canoe of the facts developed in the Havana
scandal will not be lost on the administration.
A reform in methods of administration is ur-
gently demanded. The reform is almost be-
yond question as imperatively needed in Porto
Rico and the Philippines as in Cuba. The
carpet bag regime now unfortunately estab-
lished in these dependencies" should be ter
minated without further delay. The imperial
lists have been too abrupt in the looting Of their
prizes ofwar. II is bad politics, if nothing
else, ON their part-it may so revolt the Amer
lean people as TO materially shorten the life
of the imperialist idea in what was once an
an honest and liberty loving country.

Philadelphia, Sept. 81 This was
the tenth day of the miners strike and
as yet there is no indication Of sur
render or concession on either side. In
fact no oyertureS looking to settle
ment of the differences have been
made by either the strike leaders or
the mine operators. Various PROPOSE
tions of a settlement by arbitration
have been put forward by persons not
connected with the mining business
but thus far practically no progress
has been made in this direction.
A most noteworthy feature of the
strike is the remarkable good behavior
of the strikers up to this time and es-
pecially when it is known that the
claim is made that upwards of 100, 900
mine workers are idle in the anthra-
cite region.
There are, of course been few dis
turbances, but none of the character
at all serious with the exception Of
one at Shenandoah on Friday last
when striker was killed during a
clash between humber of strikers
and sheriff's posse

to the Herald from Chicago says Pres
ident Kruger of the Transvaal repub-

he feels that this republic did not
