Don't Monkey With Your Ballot.


Commenting upon the election held
at Loeb Lynn Heights on Monday of
last week when three colored men
were elected at the municipal election
over three white men, the Baltimore
Meas of Friday last said:
An illustration of what may hap
pen to citizens of small towns by lack
of interest in their municipal affairs
is seen in the case of the little town
of Loeb Lynn Heights, in Garrett
county, where practical joker put a
ticket in the field composed of colored
characters about town, and was as
much surprised as the rest of the in
habitants to wake up the next morn
ing and find it had been elected. So
little interest was manifested in the
election by the people that only
fifteen of them went to the polls to
vote, and of these at least ten were so
Indifferent about the matter that
they voted for the colored candidates
without being aware of what they
were doing. The correspondent who
relates this incident adds that ''to
say the people were disguised is not
to express the feelings of the COM
munity" But of course, they have
no right to be disguised, except with
themselves for their lack of apprecia-
ton of the importance of paying at
tention to the choice of proper mum
cipal officers.

Col. Pearre Again.

The Republican nominating con-
vention of this Congressional district,
at Cumberland, on Tuesday unani-
mously renominated Col. George A..
Pearre for congress. This is the sec
ond time that he has been nominated
by the Republicans of this Congress
sional district, and the unanimous
manner in which all Republicans
joined in his denomination is a we'll
deserved tribute to the ability with
which he has performed the duties of
his office. Two years ago he made a
hard fight before he secured the NOM
ination, but this year he would have
had quite as much trouble to reject
it. Col Pearre is decidedly the strong
est man for the place, and all Repub-
licans should feel good over his re-
nomination. His short but brilliant
career in congress has added many
Democratic friends and made him the
idol of the Republicans Of this Con-
gressional district. With such leader

WE HAVE been asked why it is
that Governor Smith named the Re-
publican School Commissioner for the
four year term?n This is easy to an
swer. 1t gives the Democrats control
of the schools for full six years even
should a Republican Governor be
elected in 1903 One Democrat is
named for six years, and the other
for two years. At the end of the two
years the latter will be re-appointed,
or another Democrat named, for six
years, thereby assuring Democratic
majority in the board for six years.
In this county all three of the Com
missioners are Democrats. And this
is what they call keeping the schools
out of politics" - Annapolis Ex

ed" And they add further, But he
will never do this, because he needs
this point in his campaign. If he
should be elected, he would never rec.
ognize the rebels, but he could not
stop the bloodshed by saying so, be.
cause it would be inconsistent with
his present course
Mr.. Bryan perhaps does not realize
what a factor he is in the present re-
bellion. If he knew it he would prob
ably end it by disavowing any in
tention of recognizing the rebel gov
eminent in any case.
Whether Bryan is elected or not,
will make no difference in these con-
ditions until fall, at least. Until he
is finally defeated and the scattered
insurgents have all received the news,
they will continue to fight and plum
der, believing that if they can only
hold out until March, 1901, the new
American Administration will with
draw the army, recognize the Aguin-
aldo government. and probably leave
a fleet here under Aguinaldo's orders
to protect the newborn power
against all molestation from without.
We know of our own knowledge,
that the insurgents universally be-
lleve in this hope, and that it is this
that holds them together, for we
have talked to the insurgent prison
ers, as well as to the friendly natives,
and many regiments have men who
have been captured by the insur-
gents and escaped. The company
tailor of M company, this regiment,
for example, was captured during a
skirmish at Cabinti, January 24th
and is now back with the regiment,
after three weeks captivity. The in
surgent officers, some of whom talked
English well, sounded him a good
deal, and told him that when Bryan
was elected all the American soldiers
would be ordered home and the in
surgents recognized The Filipino
soldiers talked about Bryan CONT
nually, and believed he would be
elected soon, and turn the island over
to them.
All the Filipinos know about Bryan
and talk about him, and ask ques-
lions about him of the soldiers. A
man of my company told a Filipino
at Santa Cruz that Bryan would
never be elected. The man said he
surely would, then the United States
would have free silver, and all the
Americans would have to go home
from the Philippines. They all say
Bryan is very great man, when you
mention his name.
The soldiers take notice of all this,
and have heard them say, while
trudging along at the heavy end of a
hard days march: Bryan, Bryan,
damn Bryan. / am tired of hearing
the Filipinos talk about Bryan. If
it wasn't for him we could go home,
instead of hiking all over these
mountains chasing insurgents

The weather here is quite cool; the
changes are more severe than on the
mountains. We are all wearing over

This Sunday has been a great day
among the churches. The first SER
vice l attended was at McVicker's
theatre, where services are held by
the Rev. DR.. II. w. Thomas Unde-
pendent). DR.. Thomas was born and
raised in Preston county, about one
mile from Corinth. The sermon and
the music were in keeping with the
times. At the close of the sermon |
introduced myself, and stated that |
heard him preach forty-eight years
ago, when he and | were boys attend
ing the seminary in Berlin, Pa. He
Immediately said, Where is John ?"
and to my surprise, when John ap-
peared, he was the same John F.
Eberhart who was principal of the
seminary when DR.. Thomas and L
were students in 1858. Prof Eber-
hart las we called HIM greeted me
most cordially and invited me to his
home. Under the circumstances |
could not accept the invitation, but
promised to call at his Office that we
might conclude the conversation. In
this great country as we move hither
and thither how frequently we meet
those we knew in former years.

The officers and soldiers in the ar
my in the Philippines are pretty care
full students of the causes of the con-
tinuation of this rebellion. And
there is one opinion freely expressed
and general among them all-name-
ly, that the one thing that is keeping
the rebellion alive is the hope of the
election of Mr.. Bryan, as the Presi-
dent of the United States.
The army is convinced of this, be-
cause friendly natives all over the is
land continually advance this as the
promise the insurgent leaders hold
out to their followers, and insurgent
prisoners frequently make the asser-
ton.
The troops, in going through the
island, have picked up many copies
of the different insurgent publica-
tions, now suppressed which claim
that Mr.. Bryan will be elected, and
has promised to withdraw the Ameri-
can troops and turn the islands oyer
to the Aguinaldo government.

blood of every American killed from
now on is upon the head of Mr..

any moment by announcing that he
does not sympathize with the rebels,
and will not recognize them if elect

To the Editor of the Republican,:
Chicago, May 10, 1900.-Among the
many interesting meetings | attended
since the General Conference conven-
ed was the anniversary meeting of
the Epworth League held in the Aud
itorium last Tuesday night. A mighty
host of four thousand young people
gathered from all parts of Illinois,
formed in line and marched with
banners into the great hall of the
Auditorium. 1t was indeed a wonder
full sight. More than two hundred
Chapters were represented. Bishop
Ninde presided. 1t is supposed that
there were at least eight thousand
persons present when the meeting
was called to order by the presiding
officer. Imagine the enthusiasm when
the fiuttering of 'kerchiefs was given
as a salute to the presiding officer by
the entire audience. Then followed
songs, anthems and cheering choruses,
able addresses by distinguished visit
ors. Taken as whole it was one of
the most enthusiastic gatherings l
ever attended. | wished as l looked
on that young Epworth Leaguers of
Garrett county could have enjoyed
this rare privilege. 1t would have
been a stimulus for greater activity
and faithful work. ..
The business before the General
Conference is now being pushed for
ward. Many of the memorials that
haye been examined by standing
committees have been reported to
the Conference for adoption. These
are discussed in open conference.
Some are adopted and thereby be-
come the law of the church; some
are rejected and many die in the
committee rooms and are not report
ed to the legislative body. Some
slight changes have been made in the
constitution and organic law of the
church. There is quite disposition
to concentrate SO as to reduce the
number of agents and secretaries in
many of the departments. 1t has
been decided that there shall be two
bishops or superintendent elected to
assist the present board, and two
missionary bishops for India to assist
Bishop Thoburn in that vast field in
which he has done such magnificent
work. The ninth ballot has been
taken for bishops, but no election yet.
There is a strong effort to remove the
time limit, which, l think, is likely

A BUSHEL of corn worth an ounce
of silver! Pretty near it. On May
corn was worth 45g cents bushel in
the New York market. Silver was
worth 595 cents on the same day. In
1896, at the time of Bryanic prophe-
cies as to free silver, corn was worth
only 214 cents on the farm. But it
has kept on advancing in price under
the gold standard.

Highest Lowest Closing
Horse Placid .S725 81 So IS
These are the principal quotations on
Russell Sage's new horse. which, at the
latest reports, was trying to kick down
the stable at his owners country resi-
dence, Lawrence, L. l.
The horse was a. beauty when Mr.
Sage received him on a weeks trial
from a dealer. The old millionaire
fiatters himself that he is a judge of
horseflesh. Outside of Western Union
stock and the put and cali trade, there
is nothing that Mr.. Sage is better
qualified to speak of than the value of
horse.
Hes a good locker said Mr. Sage,
when the horse Placid came to him.
''I'l see how he does in harness"
The millionaire drove the animal
about Lawrence, and never was Steed
more gentle and we'll behaved When
the week of trial expired he sent to the
seller check for $725, putting a special
delivery stamp on the envelope, so
that the man might be sure to get ii
before he changed his mind.
Hardly was the check cashed before
the horse kicked a stable boy through
a window. Then he began to lose
weight so fast that he seemed to melt
away. 1t was almost impossible to
harness him, and when he was hitched
up it was very nearly out of the ques-
ton to get him started. Once running,
no one could stop him.
The sight of Mr.. Sage, whose hand
he licked when he first went to live at
Lawrence, throws him into paroxysms
of rage. He kicks with all his feet at
once, shows his teeth and bites pieces
out of the expensive stable.
There is d stage driver who takes
people about the village at 10 cents a
time He never takes Mr. Sage, for the
financier walks. But Mr.. Sage stopped
him in the street and asked him if he
wanted TO buy a horse. The man
| grinned and shook his head.
NO he replied, but if it's your
horse Placid, I'll tell you what TO dc
with him."
''What2'' demanded the broker, with
