Renominate Col. Pearre.

The Republicans of Garrett county
opposed the nomination of Col.
George A. Pearre for Congress two
years ago. The fight was not made
because of personal prejudice against
that gentleman, but simply because
the Republicans Of Garrett county
had candidate of their own. This
year conditions haye changed. Gar
rett county has no candidate. Her
vote will be cast for the renomina-
ton of Col Pearre. He has made a
splendid record in the House. -one that
is unsurpassed by so young a member
of that body. He has been instru-
mental in securing needed legislation
for the relief of the old soldiers and
their widows. He has often been
heard in debate upon questions of
National Importance and has always
acquitted himself with ability. Gar
rett county can do herself no greater
honor than by casting her vote solid
ly for his nomination.

IT TRANSPORTS that in their ankle
ty and hurry to get possession of the
school boards of this State the Dem
ocrats of the Maryland Legislature
damned a bill through without TAX
ing the precaution to repeal the sec
ton of the old law which required
the organization of the boards to
take place August first. This little
| oversight defers the impending
change of commissioners to the date
named and prevents Democratic con-
troll for three months longer, a small
matter to be sure, but decided dis
appointment to Democracy. The
fact that the new commissioners will
not take office until August LIST seems
to be officially settled, School Exam
liner Farrar having received from
Secretary of State Bateman a letter
in which it stated that, under the
School Commissioner law passed at
the session of 1900 the school commits
August Examiner Farrar has also
received letter from Attorney Gen
eral Rayner, in which he states that
the provision of the old law, requir-
ing the organization of the boards
August list, was not repealed by the
new law. General Rayner has given
Governor Smith an official opinion to
the same effect. So the Democrats
who have received appointments as
commissioners, and those who expect
preferment at the hands of the boards,
must exercise the grace of patience
while longer. The Republican ap-
pointees will not be sorry for the de-
y.-Westminster (Md.) Sentinel.

go Democratic platform was com.

cago Democratic platform was COM
posed.
The convincing arguments of that
campaign in favor of Mckinley as
against Bryan are just as pertinent
to-day as they were four years ago,
when daily pictured in vivid colors
by the editor of the Baltimore Sun.
The conditions existing now demand
the same heroic treatment as four
years since.
The country's welfare needs con-
tinuance in power of the party now
at the helm, and for many reasons
we hope the Republicans will receive
from the ablest Democratic source
the same help which was so generous
ly extended, and which was then so
highly appreciated by the people,
and especially so by Maryland Repub-
licans.

A Talk With Bows,

Remember, boys, that you have to
work; whether you handle pick or
pen, a wheelbarrow or a set of books,
digging ditch or editing a paper,
you must work. If you look around,
you will see that the men who are
most able to live the rest of their DAYS
without work are men who work the
hardest.
Don't be afraid of injuring yourself
with work. 1t is beyond your power
to do that. Men cannot work SO hard
as that on the sunny side of 30. They
die sometimes, but it is because they
quit at 6 and don't get home to bed
until one or two in the morning. It's
the carousing interval that kills.
Work gives an appetite for meals; it
lends solidity to your slumbers, it
gives the appetite appreciation of a
holiday.
There are young men who do not
work, but the world is not proud of
them, it does not even know their
names, it simply speaks of them as
old so and SOS boys. Nobody likes
them, nobody hates them, the great
busy world dosen't even know that
they are there. So find out what
you want to be and do; take off your
coat and make dust in the world.
The buster you are with honest en-
ployment the less mischief you will
get into, the sweeter will be your
sleep, the brighter and happier your
holidays, and the better satisfied will
the world be with you.
Remember that idleness is the
DEVILS workshop. Anyboy can find
some kind of honest and honorable
work to do if he tries hard and shows
a willing disposition to do the work
well. All business men want help
and they are on the constant watch
for boys and young men who they
can safely trust.
Remember, boys, that as you walk
up and down the streets, to school, to
church or to anywhere, that the bust
ness men are taking notice of your
movements and reading your char
acter, sizing you up to see whether
you would be a profitable employe or
not, just as much so as a horse dea-
Ter watches the horses that travel the
roads or streets. When he sees the
horse he wants he tries to purchase

THERE is no doubt of what Dewey
did at Manila on a certain May day
occasion; the result of his exploit was
a turning point in the history of the
nation. But the people of Chicago
seem to be terribly flustered as to the
proper way of celebrating the victory
of Manila Bay with the victor him
self attendant to give point and pomp
to the occasion. The victory was all
we'll enough, and so was the victor
until he navigated his craft into the
troubled waters of national politics.

A recent issue of the Ell Paso (Texas)
Herald contains brief summary of
predictions made in that locality dur
ing the Presidential campaign of 1896,
in contrast with actual conditions in
1900, which ought to impress people
of all political beliefs with the patent
fact that prosperity has followed in
the wake of Republican success. The
Herald SAYS:
"Some one predicted in 1896 the fol-
lowing:
A vote for Mckinley means more
tramps.
McKinley's election means:
Ten-cent corn.
Twenty-Five cent wheat.
Eight cent oats.
One dollar per ton for hay.
Five cents per pound for butter.
Three cents dozen for eggs.
Two cent hogs.
One and one-half cents for fat cattle.
No money to carry on business.
The Hay Trade Journal now shows
how weak these forecasts were by set
ting forth the present condition of
the country:
Tramps at work.
Forty-one cent corn.
Eighty-cent wheat.
Thirty tive-cent oats.
Twenty-seven-cen butter.
Twenty five-cent eggs.
Four and One-half-cent hogs.
Six and one-fourth cent cattle.
Twentye ight-cent wool.
Eighteen dollar per ton hay.
Mills running overtime.
Wages advanced.
Bushels of money, good in any part
of the world"

The Porto Rico Act,

The change in public sentiment re-
garding the Porto Rican act, now
that its principles and underlying
motives are understood, has been re-
markable. People who a month ago
were clamoring for immediate free
trade with Porto Rico say frankly
now that the act as passed is vastly
better and for very important reasons.
trade with Porto Rico would have
taken away the easiest method of
raising revenue which that island
must have, and which it could other
wise only have had by an internal rev.
enue act-a tax which would have
been extremely burdensome-or by
direct contribution from the Treasury
of the United States. This absolute
ly necessary revenue will now be sup
piled from the collections under Por-
to Rican act on all dutiable goods i'm
ported into the United States from
Porto Rico or into Porto Rico from
the United States. If this system of
raising money is unsatisfactory to
Porto Ricans they can put an end to
it within few months if they desire,
since the act authorizes them to elect
legislature and specifically provides
that all tariff between the United
States and Porto Rico, shall cease
when that legislature shall provide
the necessary funds for sustaining the
government of Porto Rico. An equal
ly important result, however, of the
enactment of this law, which retains
a mere shadow of tariff duties be-
tween Porto Rico and the United
States, lies in the fact that the right
| to determine matters of this character
as they are reached is retained by
Congress, and thus no precedent is es-
tablished by which anybody could
claim, or the Democratic party can
successfully assert, that free trade
with the Philippines or other posses
| sions of that character must or would
logically follow. 1t is only justice to
the workingmen of the United States,
whether on the farm, in the factory,
! the mines, or elsewhere, that Con

much afra d that the inhabitants of

at the hands of the Administration
the kind, fatherly, thoughtful, phil
