Kingston can boast OF a good many

fectly harmless the keepers do not put
any restrictions upon him. reports the

quest he whispers i'm your ear:

ter with YOU? Are You hunery?"
Hungry" calculates the man.
"Why should be hungry? get plenty
to eat. I'm tired. I'm a poached egg
and I'm looking for piece of toast 10
sit on"
Naturally this request leads 20 laugh

dudgeon, but he comes back regularly
on the arrival of the next batch OF
visitors TO see If he cant have better
luck. All sorts Of things which look
like toast have been supplied 10 the
man. but he wants the real thing. and
as chairs and touches are not made out
of toasted bread. he is obliged TO 90 on
making his perpetual plea 10 visitors.
In all other respects the man seems
normal. and if this crazy idea could
only be got out Of his head he might
obtain his discharge. As he persists
in his delusion he will probably spend
the rest of his days in the asylum.

OUR CANDIDATE
FOR CONGRESS.

The nomination CT Mr.. Camalier for
Congress at Chesapeake Beach on
Wednesday marks the beginning OF
the campaign in the 9Th Congressional
district. Tie nominee deserves and,
We believe, will receive the enthusiastic
support of the Democrats of Southern
Maryland. He is in every way thor
oughly identified with our people and
their best interests He has shown
himself to be popular and successful
campaigner. He has promised to make
vigorous canvass of the district, and
he will be abe to draw inspiration and
hope from the encouraging outlook for
MIR. Bryan's success. The great popu-
larity Of Mr.. Camalicr in his home
county is convincing proof that he is
worthy of the esteem and confidence OF
all good citizens. The following is a
brief history of his career:
Benjamin Harris Camalier was born
and reared in Leonardtown, St. MalA :
county, which is still his home. He
was educated at Georgetown Univer-
slty and afterward studied law in the
Office of the late Benjamin G. Harris.
In 1874 he was admitted to the bar in
St. Mary's county, and has since prac-
ticcd his profession in the Seventh
Judicial Circuit and in the Court of
Appeals. He has always been a con-
sistent Democrat, and is very popular
with all classes in his county. In 1891
he was elected States Attorney Of St.
Mary's county and served four years.
He was renominated in 1895, but de-
feated. In 1899 he was rcnominated
again and elected by Il large majority
and is still serving as States Attorney.
Four years ago he was Oh the electoral
ticket in Maryland and has served sew
cral terms as counsel to the County
Commissioners. He has been twice
married and has eight children. He is
a good speaker and a tireless cam
paigner.

ILLINOIS FOR BRYAN.

Illinois is for Bryan and Alschuler, ac-
cording to poll of the State outside of
Chicago which the Democrats have made,
and from which Sccrctay Nelson, of the
Democratic State Committee, says that
practically complete returns have been
received.
Contrary to general expectations AL
schulcr is said to have run only about
even with BRYAN, save in his own coun-
ty of Kane, where the poll showed that
he is exceedingly popular. The failure of
Alschulcr to run far ahead of Bryan is
thought to be due to the fact that no poll
was taken in Chicago, where AlShuler's
strength is supposed to lie. the bulk of the
Jewish vote, which is considered solid for
Alschulcr, being centered in that city.
"Returns from most of the 10l counties
outside of Chicago and Cook county have
been received and show strong evidences
of the popularity of Bryan, Stevenson and
Alschu,er in Illinois, said Secretary Mel
SON 'In 40 of the counties the returns
are complete except for few missing
townships The gains for the Democra-
tic tickets are surprising and necessarily
gratifying. They show that Illinois is
going Democratic again this year. it it did
in 1892"

ENFORCING THE LAW.

The preservation of law and order is
one of the first essentials of good gov
eminent. Law breakers should be
dealt with promptly and sternly. A
healthy public sentiment will always
sustain those charged with the enforce
mcnt of law in a strict performance of
their duty.
The vigorous efforts that have been
made by Judge Merrick and State
Attorney Levin in resisting the at
tcmpts of a set Of sporting people to
establish boxing place at Chesapeake
Junction deserve the hearty approval
of all peace-loving citizens. That it
should be thought that any violation
of the law would he allowed within the
precincts of this county and that pro-
ceedings in violation of the laws OF the
District of Columbia would be tolerate ed
here. is somewhat Of surprise.
The Court and officers of the law
may rest assured that public opinion
will sustain them in all efforts to sup
press unlawful acts.
1t is placing low estimate upon the
intelligence and civilization of our pco
pie to expect that the brutal exhibi-
tions Of prize fighters could be in
augurated in this county, no matter
under what guise they might be con-
cealed. Those who would do this
should be made to understand that the
Court and the officers are on the alert
and all who defy the law will certainly
suffer the consequences.
