THE MARYLAND DEMOCRATS.
Platform Confined to State Issues. Judge
Yerks Made Supreme Court Judge.
(By Associated Press.)

Harrisburg, Pa, August Is The
Democratic State Convention today nomi-
mated Judge Herman Yerkes, of Dolyes-
town, for Supreme Court Judge and Rep
resentative Andrew Palm, of Meadvlfe,
for State treasurer. The platform makes
no reference to William j. Bryan or Ia
tian laffairs being confined entirely to
State issues.
The contest between theN rival Philadel-
pha factions for recognition by the con-
vention resulted in harmony agreement
between the recognized leaders of the
two elements.
The platform declares that every de-
partment of the State Government is
honeycombed with profigacy, dishonesty
and reckless disregard of constitutional
or moral obligations" and goes on TO
say:
"Shamelessly and dishonesty the votes
of Legislators are bought and constantly
and persistently the market values for
legislators have ben established by Gus

pie to these outrages emboldened tile

legislative body that ever convened in

noctiGl storms, or rather that the equi- nox has no tendency to produce storms. Sea captains, superstitious as they are, long ago discarded the theory, because they are weather sharps. They watch the weather, as part of l---r business. But the peo- pie in general who are only weather amateurs, and who must have some thing to talk about, cherish the old story as to equinoctial storms, and it lives on from year to year, although the predicted storms are exceptional, and the equinox has no more relation to them than ,ne man in the moon has. The man in the moon looks on, and the equinoctial point cannot, and the sun pays no attention to the crossing, and the weather clerk is powerless.

Another Year of Prosperity.

Tn iron and steel circles there is confidence that another year of we'll maintained prices Is in sight. It is conceded, says the Iron Trade Review, l4at the foundry iron product of 1901 is substantially sold today, and con- tracts reaching into 1902 are now be- ing made. Such contracts are made at full prices. 4 he Steel Corporation, now that the strike in its mills is set tied, is buying from furnaces inn mense quantities of iron, at prices about 25 cents higher than recent quo tations. The contracting in the Chi cago district is on liberal scale, and the Southern mlLls are stiffer in their rates. Steel bars, small shapes and small billets have been advanced two dollars ton.
 These changes are not merely arbi- trary. They are based on accumulated and accommodating orders. It Is well known that the structural mills will be very busy all winter. It is known, too, that the construction of railroad lines, trolley lines and of world Of machinery is absorbing the home prod uct, permitting no accumulations what ever. We need at home 15,00O,0OO tons of iron year, and 300 furnaces turn ing out 3OO,O00 tons week are en- deavoring to supply this home de- mand. If a foreign demand should spring up iron would indeed be firmly held.
 It is not necessary to look ahead to 1903, but activity and prosperity will certainly dominate 1902, and this dis trict will get it's full share of these good times. More houses will be built, more mines opened, and probably more furnaces wilI be projected.

John Moore. A poet did it, and when he did it he rendered his own name immortal. As .ong as the Anglo-Saxon tongue survives at least the monument to Sir John Moore will last Other monuments win crumble into dust, but that will not. The poet left his dead alone in his glory, but the Anglo-Saxon world sets at that grave, and always will
 And such a monument is needed in the present case. Says the Boston Herald:
 The tragedy at Buffalo sounded the whole gamut of human emotions. Love, hate fear. anger sympathy compassion all the primal passions were aroused. Nothing could have been more dramatic than the spectacle of a single, cowardly, skull1ing wretch throwing nation into tears. Nothing could have been more patehtic than the deep, yet hopeful, si- lence in which the people waited for the news from Buffalo. Nothing could be more inspiring than the way in which they rallied from the shock and faced the future with the confidence that God reigns and the government at Washing ton still lives" Nowhere was ever given a more beautiful example of devotion than that which bound together the President and his wife. Never was a deathbed illumined more brightly by the lterIf Nf l,rfa fnt There was everything to inspire the poet. Yet though yards upon yards of verses have been written, the first poem has yet to appear. Do we lack the poet? Or Is the event yet too near for poetic treatment? It may be that the canvas is too large, the picture 100 heroic in size for poetic treatment. At any rate 1t would seem that the great tragedy must inspire poet, if there be one among us, to the writing of something which shall be worthy ot the theme
 But poesy of the W olfe sort may be lost art, and in it's absence we may have to go back to the rude method of piling up rocks to com- memorate our dead. The sculptor finds tucked away In a dull rock beauty and poetry, but the sculptors are as rare as the poets. We may have to go back to methods that eliminated in Egypt when the pyramids were built to hold the dust of Kings. But those pyramids neither hold the dust nor commemorate the lives of those Kings now, while the memory of Sir John Moore is undying.

Euujnoctial MoOnshine,

Those who believe that the sun rises and sets-tnat toads drop out of rain clouds-that dogs go mad every day such persons also cherish the belief that just when the sun crosses a pure fly imaginary line, or point in a line, in the third weeks of March and Septem- Der great storms occur. The equinoc- tal storm is in fact as imaginary as the line that the sun crosses, for there is not a particle of evidence to sustain the statement that either the vernal or autumnal equinox is a period of unusual storms.
 r The absurdity of the popular de- fusion should present itself to every mind. If ,4e suns crossing of the equator induces storms, would there not be long season of wet weather at that time? It is absurd to say that there must De storms lst in the week of the crossing. There are no such storms. September is a dry month as a rule the world round, and Marcf is a better month in the respect ot storms than February or January. The closest observation furnishes no dats that supports this popular delusion All popular theories are as a rule de lusions of the mind, and the equinoc tial storm Is one of the most firmly rooted of the series, and one of thu biggest humbugs. There is absolutel! nothing in it.
 One stormy equinox is enough t carry the theory through nine fai weather ones, and so the fallacy livei on. It will no. die, any more than thu theory will that the sun rises ant sets. They are both of the same piec' of imaginary cloth. The men O science know that there are no equi

NED BRACE DISCUSSES MANY MATTERS

however, the Columbia seems to move better. The two boats are very evenly matched and the remainder of the races will be viewed with much interest and intense enthusiasm. If stiff blows prevail the Shamrock will lift the cup.
 Birmingham's street improvement bonds seem to be in active demand. The present city administration has had no difficulty in floating all that have been offered, and the offers have amounted to several hundred thousand dollars. Im- provements are going ahead steadily. Many streets are being paved and all manner of sewers and other improve ments put in.
 The administration, however, will have to be up and doing within the next forty days. After that time they may have trouble in providing for Improvements. There Is a clause in the new constitution, recently provided for Alabama, which says that no property holder shall be as- sessed for street paying, sidewalks or other improvements to an amount in ex- cess of the increased value of the special benefits derived from such Improvements. This increased value will be a difficult matter to settle and probably will lead to endless disagreements and lawsuits. It may have the effect of preventing much street paving which is already in contemplation. Certainly, the mayor and aldermen, in providing for street paving after the new constitution gees into eff feet will not have easy sailing.
