BAD IN leee-woRsE IN 1900.
Imperialism a Scarecrow-Dr. Bryan
Bad Physician, etc.


Mr.. D. Sterett Cuttings son of the lat
Richard J. Cuttings, who was once States Al
torney of Baltimore county, in an interview
few days ago, said:
II opposed Mr.. Bryan in 1895, and 1 am OBJ
posed to him in 1900.
IF Mr.. Bryan and the Chicago platform werf
bad in 1896, Mr.. Bryan and the hyphenated Gin
cago-Kansas City platform are doubly bad III
IF the free coinage of silver at the ratio on
16 to was wrong in 1896, it is just as wrong id
1900.
IF Mr.. Bryan was repudiated in 1896. when
the depression in all kinds of business rendered
any change apparently change for the better
so much the more ought he to be turned down
in 1900 when the country is enjoying an era OF
unexampled prosperity.
when man is sick it is natural for him to
fly for relief to quack doctors and patent medi-
cines but when he is WELL the fewer drugs he
takes the better.
''Dr. Bryan felt the popular pulse in 1896, and
gravely told the patient it was only a question
of time, unless his directions were followed and
the doses he alone prescribed and prepared
were taken.
"Prominent among his remedies was a weak
solution of silver in the proportion of 16 to /
although all physicians the world over used 81
parts to !, which was universally regarded as
the standard.
for all the ills that flesh is heir to'-it would
cause the price of wheat to rise, poverty to dis
appear from the face of the country, and bring
about the millennium.
UNFORTUNATELY for DIR. Bryan, but to the
everlasting credit of the patient, his prescrip-
ton was rejected and regular practioner-one
DIR. William McKinley-called in, whose pres
ence Immediately restored the waning strength
of the sick man, inspired him with fresh conf
dence and gave him new lease of life.
Zone might naturally suppose that the treat
ment accorded him would have deferred DR.
Bryan from making another attempt. But no
Here he is again, with the same old compound,
in a dust-covered bottle, although no calls it by
more Understanding ame-Anti-Impe rialism
Now, the question of Imperialism, in my
judgment, is merely scarecrow erected by Mr..
Bryan and his fellow POpulists to conceal the
real issue, which is the free and unlimited coin
age of silver by the United States alone at the
fixed ratio of 16 to /, without theaid or consent
of any other nation'-a feat compared TO which
that of Atlas was merely child's play.
"Can any sane man believe the silver-mine
owners regard Imperialism as the paramount
issue, or that they will permit Mr.. Bryan to for
get his promises that the gold standard will not
be maintained in this country longer than am
able to get rid of it?
Mr.. Bryan here said what he meant, and
meant what he said and as /, for one, believe
the gold standard to be good thing, intend
to push it along as far as am able, and to heed
Mr.. Bryan's warning by casting my vote for
Mr.. Mckinley"

Surviving Presidential Candidates.
NeaO York Sun,

In the four successive Presidential elections
of 1888. 1892. 1895 and 1900 there were only two
candidates of each party and the defeated
nominees of 1888 and 1892. Cleveland and Harri-
son. respectively, are the two surviving Presi-
dents. A surviving Presidential candidate; VINO 70
has a somewhat complex record as sucn, ~ -
he ran for President of the United States on
the National Greenback ticket and polled wv.
000 votes and twelve years afterward he ran as
the Populist candidate for the Presidency, poll
ing more than a million votes. Since 1877 the
Populist party has been nominating Bryan.

1.-THE Sum, and the Race Question

'The Sum- and the Race Question.
The Baltimore Meas, in an editorial headed
"Jekyll-and-H Hyde Journalism" says: =
1.-THE San is evidently trying once more, as it
has tried before, to inject the race question into
the campaign. 1t is seeking to make sensa-
tional point out of Governor Roosevelt's advO-
cacy and signature of bill for securing the
right of colored children to attend the public
schools of New York. That right exists in
many, probably most, of the States of the North
no bearing, even the most indirect. on our home
affairs. Maryland will, in the future, as in the
past regulate that matter for herself; and New
York and Massachusetts, and Ohio will keep
on doing the like for themselves. The only
possible object of dragging it into the cam
paign is to stir up i'll will, add through this 80
iidify' the Democratic vote. The means which
means by which the old Democratic ring, with
the aid of the San, maintained its corrupt hold
on the government of the city. For year or
two the Sun lapsed into virtue and, when it
wanted to beat German, pooh poohed the negro
bugaboo" as Justify as heart could desire; now
it is laundering after that same bugaboo as q
means of driving thoughtless voters into the
Bryan ranks But it will find that the charm
won't work. That game has been played out.
1t is true that occasions may arise-unfortu-
nately-when, in local elections, the appeal to
race feeling may be successfully made; but the
attempt to utilize it in national election upon
which it has absolutely no bearing, Will be nat
failure. And the San may rest assured that its
intelligent readers have long ago formed the
up in the character of DR.. Jekyll by the mean
and dishonest practices to which it continually
resorts in that far more conspicuous activity
which is presided over by Mr.. Hyde"

Great Baltimore County Industry
The Baltimore Ne,cs says: These are busy
days at Sparrows Point. There the immense
plant of the Maryland Steel Company is loca-
ted, and there some of the finest steamers ever
turned out by an American shipyard have
been built and are under construction. Never
before in the history of the company has the
marine department been so crowded with work
as at present Three large sea-going steam
ships, two monster sea-going dredgers thre
torpedo-boat destroyers mammoth steel
barge and the largest steel drydock in tn
world are under construction at the present
time; and this winter work will begin upon
two of the biggest cargo-carriers ever built in
this country to fly the American flag. The
company employs about 3,400 men in its va
rious departments, and by January this force
will be increased to about 1900 men,"

Dwelling Burned-The frame dwelling of
Mr.. Winfield S. Dampman, situated on the
west side of the York road, a short distance
above Govanstown, was destroyed by fire be-
tween and O'Clock on Tuesday morning.
The inmates were awakened by the smoke and
got out safely, although much of the contents
was burned. The loss is about $500. How
the fire originated is a mystery, but it is be-
lieved to have been of incendiary origin. A
frame stable on the same property was burned
a week before and it was thought that it was
also set on fire.
This house was one of the old landmarks
along the York road between Towson and
Baltimore. For many years it was the home
of the late John Balls, father of the Messrs.
Balls, we'll known citizens of Govanstown.
Mr.. Dampman, who owns the property, mar
ried granddaughter of the late Mr.. Balls.

Belair, dated October 25th, says: George D..
Martin, farmer residing near Laurel Brook
Station, on the Baltimore and Lehigh Rail-

himself through the head with revolver.

a fit of temporary insanity. Mr.. Martin left
home with his little son to kill squirrels and
after roaming about in the woods for short
time sent the boy back home and went on
alone. AS the day wore on and he did not
make his appearance his wife became alarmed
and succeeded in getting three neighbors to in
stitute search for him. After looking about
for some time they came upon his dead body
lying on the ground about half mile from
his home, and in the woods belonging to Mr..
Favour" Mr. Martin moved to that neigh
borhood about two years ago from Iowa. on
