WAsHTENAw county was the
scene OF a fierce struggle last
week between the Stearns and
Ferry supporters. Charges and
counter charges OF corruption
and bribery were made and the
county convention split up into
two conventions, one attended
by Stearns men and the other by
Ferry supporters. A set OF dele
gates to the state convention was
elected from each convention
and the state convention will
be called upon TO decide which
set is entitled to seats.

business Of one or two men to
see that pressure is turned on.
Then there should be an auxil-
larry force organized among the
business men and others to look
after the safety of persons and
goods and to patrol the town SO
as to watch out for flying debris.
This corps should be thoroughly
organized and made up Of men
whose curiosity does not get the
better Of their good sense. We
respectfully call the attention OF
the chief to this line.
Last Thursday the best men,
men whose direction was sadly
needed, had to be inside Of the
building because Of this laxity OF
organization. We hope that
these few remarks will be needed
by our chief and that rules will
be made SO stringent that at the
next fire the man who disobeys
them will be deprived Of his pay
and be dismissed from the de-
partment.

LAST week Senator Chas.
Smith, of Houghton county, adj
dressed scathing open letter to
Robert Oakman, of the State
Tax Commission, in which he
accused the Commission of will
fully juggling facts in regard to
the values and assessments OF
property in Houghton county.
The accusation was made on the
grounds that the commission took
the transfers of 1899 and the tax
roll of 1898 in compiling their
statistics. Friday Commissioner
Campbell replied to Mr.. Smiths
charges stating that the reason
for taking the 1898 rolls was the
fact that they were the latest
ones in the hands of the county
treasurer and therefor the latest
data accessible. The commits
sion is certainly open to criticism
in not taking transfers and
assessments Of the same year,
especially in the upper peninsula,
as it is well known that property
up here nearly doubled in value
in 1899. We do not know that
the 90 rolls will show any great
increase in values but the 1898
transfers would certainly show
nearer the average values Of
properties than the inflated
values of 1900.

THE fire Thursday morning fur
nishes us with some timely food
for thought and il behooves us to
think these matters over care
fully. 1t is very easy for by
stander to stand around and pick
flaws in the actions of the mem
bers Of the fire department and,
we are sorry to say, there is al
ways that tendency manifested
instead of the more sensible one
of noting the fault in the methods
pursued and by bringing them to
the attention Of the department
trying to remedy them. By

terfere with the hrcmen when at
work and persons who do such a
thing should be arrested and
locked up There is generally
plenty Of work for bystanders to
do that will be beneficial without
interfering with the fremen.
At the same time there are
some very serious criticisms to be
passed upon the fire department
and we do it in the spirit of kind
ness and with a hope that the
faults may be remedied, not with
any spirit OF fault finding. The
grossest criticism is upon the
laxity of organization. There
should be a head and several
sub-heads whose work should be
wholly the direction Of the men
with the hose, the ladders and
axes, and not the handling OF the
instruments themselves. Men
who are not physically fit to
tackle a burning building have
no business in the department,
irrespective of their other quail
ties. The men should be placed
by the chief and be compelled to
remain at their post until relieved
or personal safety dictates an
imperative retreat. The sub
heads should remain with their
squad where placed by the chief
and conhne their efforts to GER

Western Maryland Railroad.

Last fall an attempt was made TO sell Balti-
more city's interest-the controlling interest
in the Western Maryland Railroad. The at
temnt. aided by a Baltimore financial institu-
tion and by Republican city Official, who
would have lost nothing had the deal gone
through, had it succeeded, would have re-
suited in the road going into the hands of
persons who have no interest in Baltimore or
Maryland and the company would have been
recognized with II handsome profit to finan-
cial sharks and loss to Baltimore city and
Washington county, and perhaps in general
disregard of the interests of the patrons Of the
road.
The Democratic tidal wave last November
broke up the DEAL just as it prevented the
steal of the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal by
interests favorable to the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad. The ADVOCATE opposed the sale of
the Western Maryland Railroad, as it be-
lieyed that President Hood aud the board of
directors were getting as good results out of
the road as anybody could, and for the further
reason that we were opposed to the road 60
ing into the hands of persons with no interest
in the state, as well as having the road loaded
with a heavier debt which would have had to
be borne by patrons of the road
The deal failed, as it should have done, the
maturing debt, or part of it, was funded at
lower rate of interest, and President Hood
has just paid over to the city OF Baltimore
$91, 889. IL as interest on the securities of the
road held by the Commissioners of Finance
and rental of the Hilen street station proper
ty, owned by the city.
Let us hear no more of selling the Western
Maryland Railroad. Baltimore and the state
have lost in selling out their interest in Mary
land enterprises to outside capitalists. Trade
that should have been preserved 10 Maryland
has been diverted TO New York and Phladel-
phia, and il Baltimore lets the Western Mary
land Railroad go the people of Baltimore and
Western Maryland will never cease to regret
it. The road is well managed; let well enough
alone

icant parts of the sheet is, that il shows there
was no debt from 1856 to 1860, and that at
the close of Lincoln's first term there was
a debt of $2,SS1 1881, 295. The debt was
gradually decreased until another Republican
Administration started an unnecessary and

past forty years thousands of miles of rail-
roads have 'aen built and put in operation,

FREDERICK MERCHANTS EASY.
A Slick Stranger Swindles Three of
Them

A well-dressed, intelligent man, represent
ing himself to be Pullman palace con-
ductor, arrived in Frederick last week and
registered at the Park Hotel. He was alfred
in blue suit with brass buttons and on the
afternoon of his arrival went on a shopping
tour of the principal stores. He made no
purchases on this day, but impressed upon
several merchants who he was and, after leav-
ing his card said he might return the following
day if he could not be better suited elsewhere.
After spending the night at the hotel he went
to a prominent furniture dealer and purchased
refrigerator fol $1S.75 and ordered it shipped
TO his mother at Mt. Airy Thursday afternoon.
Being short of ready cash he gave the dealer
check for $35 in payment for his purchase.
receiving $l6.25 in change. The check was
payable to himself and purported to be signed
BY officials of the Pullman Palace Car Com
pany and drawn on a Philadelphia bank.
Being IL little dubious about the paper the
merchant pretended to have no change and.
going out, showed it to bank official. who
said it appeared TO be genuine, as it was prop
erly drawn and couniersigned. The aifable
aud polite stranger then leisurely strolled up
to a prominent jewelers. on Market street and,
after again inspecting some of the diamond
rings which had been shown him on Wednes-
day, purchased one, rendering a similar check,
but for a larger amount Not contented with
his success thus far, he went 10 another jeweler
and. after his selection from the assortment
of diamond rings displayed 10 him, he pro-
duced another check on the Philadelphia
bank, purporting to have been issued by the
Pullman Car Company, which was accepted
by the merchant. Going back to his hotel he
displayed his purchases, remarkiug that one
Of the rings cost him SIS, which he thought
he got at a bargain.
The furniture dealer had his check for
warded promptly for collection and in Il few
days il was returned to him, pronounced
worthless and with S2.75 protest cost attached
to it. Seeing he had been swindled he in
quired and found the refrigerator was still at
Mt. Airy, not having been called for.
