THE Houston and Texas Central Railway

official will have charge of making and caring
for the station grounds and flower gardens at
all points along the line from Groesbeck to
Dallas, Texas. The one who first started the
idea of identifying station grounds was the
late Frank Thomson, of the Pennsylvania
Railroad He did well and the aesthetic side
of the people at large have been cultivated in
consequence. After all, corporations have

AGAIN THE Baltimore county Republican
powers that be have seen to it that the county
was left out in the cold when they had an OPP
portunity TO secure at least one fairly good
office for it. 1t had been said for some time
that the efice of Deputy Surveyor of the Port
of Baltimore was being held open for Balti-
more county and two or three men were
named for the place. 1t seems that the one
the bosses wanted to take the Office could not
or would not have it. What then? Why
then Judge Clabaugh steps in and secures the
plum for George E. Sharrer, of Carroll coun-
ty, and thus is Baltimore county again left
out. But there is day of reckoning coming
and when it arrives somebody will be paid in
full, with interest to date. And that time is
not far distant Mr.. Sharrer had been holding
a place under the Republican State govern
ment and he was railroaded out of that into
much better job, where he is under the pro-
lection of the civil service law. The salary of
the Deputy Surveyorship is 81, 500 year.

Mr.. E. LYNN PAINTER, of the 4th district of
this county, is engaged in commendable
effort to have some amendments made to the
primary election law of this county. As it
stands at present the law is Of no use whatever
and if it cannot be amended it might just as
well be repealed. Several members of the
Baltimore county delegation are said to favor
Mr.. Painters amendments and they should use
their best endeavors to have them passed. In
his last message to the Legislature Governor
Lowndes very wisely said: "a primary cleo
ton law should also be enacted, under the
provisions of which itmay be possible for any
reputable citizen to become a candidate for
public office. As it now stands, it is frequent
" the case that only the man with money has
any hope of winning in the primaries, and
then only if he be the choice of the party or
carnations. This not only precludes worthy
citizens of limited means from the realization
of honorable political ambitions, but compels
the people at the general election to maketh
selection between two men, neither OF whom
is the first choice of the majority of the voters"
It is with the purpose of remedying such
things that Mr.. Painter is striving and he de-
serves the support of all good citizens.

CONGRESSMAN SHELLEY. of Pennsylvania, who
has just formally come over to the Republicans,
was one of the ablest and most ardent of the
Bryanite chieftains in 1895. He made many
speeches for Bryan in that canvass, and has
spoken often since then on the Bryanite side
in Congress- Events, however, have shown
Sibley that he was wrong, and he has got out
of his old companionship. One difference be-

BRYAN is that the Siblevs learn something from
