One of the most prominent Demo-
Gratis in Maryland is General Lloyd l.
Jackson. Priding himself ON the fact
that he never scratched his ticket he
voted for Bryan in 1896. This year,
however, he is out for Mckinley. In
explaining his attitude, he says:
IL is true that / supported Mr.. Bryan
in 1896. II is almost true that / fur
nished all the money used by Maryland
Democrats to aid in his election. ] Or
ganized Bryan meetings in Baltimore

When asked for his reasons for th
change, he said:

NO EXCUSE FOR THE FAKE

BY publishing the fake Cleveland
interview the Philadelphia Times has
iiscrodited itself in all parts OF the
country. and more particularly in this
section of the East, where it is most
widely circulated and read. There
was no excuse for the inniction of such
a fake upon the public. BY its own
admission the Times took the story
from a man whom IL did not know and
ran 1t without taking any step to veri-
~ It. The fact that the writer Of the
story visited the Office at a late hour
does not excuse the Times. 1t knew
that Mr.. Cleveland had declined time
and time again TO be interviewed by
representative and reputable men
from all the leading papers, many Of
whom were known to him personally
With this knowledge It should not
have dealt with a stranger who was
peddling what he represented to be
the substance of a conversation he
had had with Mr.. Cleveland six days
before. But in its anxiety to serve
Bryan It accepted the story and pub
lished 1t without reservation or quail
fication as to its truthfulness. The re-
suit was that Former President Cleve-
land was compelled to come out pub
licly and denounce the alleged inter
view as an outrageous lie, and at tn,
same time to say to the country thai
he stands where he did four years age
against Bryan and Organism.
The Times has done itself a seriou
injury. For a long time to come tn
. political matter contained in its col
umns will be read with suspicion an
discounted in the public mind. An
so it should be, for it is outrageou
that Mr.. Cleveland should be subject
ed to such treatment and that tn
readers of the Times should have sue
unqualified falsehood given to them
the guise of truth.

Horace C. Rettew is running for a
second term for receiver of taxes and
county treasurer. He is popular with
his party and the people, and will poll
large vote. George d. Kelley has
discharged the duties of county comp
troller with signal ability. and his re-
nomination is n deserved compliment
which will be followed by re-elec-
tion. For Samuel A. Mcdaniel, the
candidate for sheriff. We predict the
biggest vote ever polled for Repub-
lican aspirant to that office. In addi-
tion to being popular and having a
large personal following, he is what Is
known as a hustler" whose work
counts in all directions. He will poll
the full Republican vote, and many
Democrats have announced privately
that they will vote for him. John l..
Frick, the candidate for coroner,
grows in popularity all the time, and
he will poll The full party strength. Re-
garding the candidates for seats in

safe to assume that wherever there is

1t will be attained, for the voters are
not splitting hairs on the personality
of candidates. but are in the fight to

LORD RuSSELLS EnRMlllA

Some Wilmington lawyers may be
able to profit by application OF the
following formula which governed the
common habits of the life Of Lord Rus
sell, deceased Lord Chief Justice of
England. Let MS use his own words:
Il have only four ways OF preparing
my work. First, to do one thing at
time, whether it is reading a brief
or eating concentrating what
faculties l am endowed with upon
whatever l am doing at the moment;
secondly, when dealing with compll-
Gated facts, to arrange the narrative
of events in the order OF dates-a sim
pie rule not always acted upon. but
which enables you to unravel the most
complicated story. and to see the rela-
ton of one set of facts to other facts.
My third rule is to never trouble about
authorities or case law supposed To
bear upon a particular question until
1 have accurately and definitely ascer-
tained the precise facts. Tne last rule
is one which the professional man
will appreciate better, perhaps than the
/ layman. 1t is not only valuable
may say this, as / did not invent it
but very interesting to me individually
as / got IL from Lord Westbury, when
a young hand at the bar and pleading
before him. l was plunging into ci.
tatiOn Of cases, when he very good
naturedly pulled me up and said: Mr.
Russell, don't trouble yourself will
authorities until we have ascertaineC
with precision the facts, and then W,
shall probably find that a number o
authorities which seem to bear som'
L relation to the question have reall!
nothing important to do with it, NJ.
fourth rule is to try to apply the ju
dicial faculty TO your own case, in or
der to determine what are its stronl
and weak points. and in order to set
!, tie in your own mind what is the rea
/, turning point in the case This methol
enables you to discard irrelevant top
les, and to mass your strength On tn

Now we have a note clerk who has
stolen 100000 from the First National
Bank in New York. and this, too, in
spite of repeated examinations Of his
books by Federal bank examiners and
expert accountants employed regu.
larly by the bank itself. But for his
absence from the bank for several days
his stealings would have been going
on yet, for an alleged illness covering
a long period aroused suspicion and
led to a more particular examination
which disclosed false entries covering
rlany years. The note clerk set at
aught all the safeguards thrown
around the banks funds by the Fed
raj and state governments and the
ank's directorate. stole nearly three
uarters of n million dollars and es-
caped before his theft was discovered
II seems almost incredible and vet it
is the declaration of the bank presi-
ent himself. There must be some
thing radically wrong in a banking
system which renders such gigantic
stealings possible in the face OF re-
peated official and unofficial examina-
tions Of the books.
