County Treasurer.

Dism Used and the County Pays the Bill.
Monday afternoon Justice Gender
had before him Wallace Junkins, of
Blaine, charged with disturbing the
public peace. The charge had been
preferred by Doyle Burton, deputy
sheriff. A large number of witnesses
were summoned to appear and they
had very rough experience in com
ing across the country to Oakland as
Monday was very inclement day.
After hearing the States witnesses
Justice Gender refused to proceed
further with the case and dismissed
Mr.. Junkins, there being not the
slightest evidence of an infraction of
the law on his part.
The costs in this case, which fall
upon the county, are quite heavy.
We understand that Sheriff Oester
has dismissed Mr.. Burton as one of
his deputies. he having, as we are in
formed, been appointed to the posi-
ton upon the representation to the
sheriff of his ability in criminal mat
tiers.

"Non-partisan'' papers, edited by
partisans, are the most patent hum
bugs of the age. In commenting up
on public matters they start out non
partisan, but wind up partisan. They
are simply frauds. A partisan paper
is the more to be admired. 1t sacra-
fees patronage for principle 1t is
more honest, for it does not play for
both sides, and does not pretend to
be anything than partisan. There is
nothing antagonistic to honesty in
being partisan, and there is every in
ducement to dishonesty in being non
partisan or independent. The most
despicable object is partisan who
pretends to conduct a partisan
or independent paper, and then by
his acts endorses every principle and
policy which his party espouses-

power.

From Tuesdays Baltimore News.
The election bill now pending is
designed to make a permanent change
in the qualifications necessary for the
exercise of the right of suffrage in
Maryland. No honest man can pre-
tend to deny that the purpose of the
bill is the practical Acknowledgement
of illiterates. and no honest man can
deny that such Acknowledgement is in
violation of the purpose of the Con-
stitution of the State of Maryland.
To make the change honestly, it
ought to be brought about by an
amendment of the Constitution. The
plan by which it is to be effected-if
effected at all-is the enactment of a
DISTINGUISHING law, through a strict
party vote in the Senate. without
single vote to spare, the Legislature
being called in extra session for the
purpose, and the issue having never
been before the people at all when
the Legislature was elected.
This is bad enough, and repellent
enough to all notions of fair play and
responsible politics. But the mana
gers in charge of the Democratic
members of the General Assembly are
not content with this. For some rea-
son, doubtless considered sufficient by
them, they have felt that there would
be an advantage in rushing the bill
through in the shortest possible time.
Accordingly. they do not balk at de-
handing the previous question and
ordering a vote in the House of Dele
gates before the minority have been
given a semblance of chance ade-
quately to present their objections.
OF course, the more the bill is dis
cussed, the more thoroughly does its
unwarrantable character become
manifest yet it would seem to re-
quire phenomenal degree of braz-
enness to pass, practically without
debate, a bill of fundamental impor-
tance in the vital matter of the suf-
frage. So outrageous was the prop
ositiOn that seven Democrats besides
the FIVE who voted against the bill
twelve Democrats in all-voted
against the application of the gag yes
terday. The indecent haste with
which the bill is being put through is
in perfect harmony with the false
pretenses upon which the whole
scheme is based.

Passing Paragraphs.

Written for The Republican.
When you are hard up you are apt
to stay doaOn. This joke has no feath-
ers on it.
Don't wait for better times; one day
is as good as another to jump in and
saw wood
There are no special paths to sue
cess; everything that needs to be done
and is well done is success.
The true measure of success is not
mere dollars and cents, nor yet pride
of place and power; but has the thing
done helped the world along in the
smallest of its needs.
1t is one thing to win place in the
world, but it is another thing to prove
your right to keep it. Are you pill
lar in society? You should be very
careful as to what you are holding up.
The devil and the doctors have a
hard time of it. They are both over
worked in looking after the ills and
evils of mankind. Are you doing any
thing to help give them rest?
Whatever you do don't sheer at hui
manity-every human being is man
Hesitation of your possible self. We
are different patterns but all cut from
the same piece.
Affairs in Kansas give female suf-
frage a black eve:
When lovely woman gets vote
She'll rule the whole creation;
And every man supremacy bteSt (0
Will have Mrs. Nation.
And hatchets then will fly around
No laws be longer needed;
While wicked man will sneak along
By women all unheeded.
1t is hard world, sisters, very
hard world; but hysterical assaults
upon the worlds wickedness will &C
complish no permanent good, rather,
if anything, bring additional harm.
Municipal corruption begins at the
fireside, and woman-kind have con-
trolling hand-conciously or uncon-
sciously-in the unfortunate state of
affairs. The insatiate vanity of
woman, her love of place and power
for the surface value of "show" has
led and still leads many men to do
doubtful things.
Then, again the dear sisters are not
consistent in their efforts at reform.
They will vote with great enthusiasm
for a resolution to suppress vice-and
then at home will say to husband, son
or brother, don't you take any open
part in the movement, you will get
the ill will of so many people and
hurt you in your business, or they
will do you some harm.

SHORTY.

The Interstate Trust and Guaranty Co.
Mr. Daniel E. Offutt went down to
Cumberland on Tuesday of last week,
where he participated in the organi-
zation of the Interstate Trust and
Guaranty Company which was incor-
porated under the Act of the Mary
land Legislature at its session last
winter. Its home office is in Cumber-
land, but it being the only company
of its kind within hundred miles of
that city, it's location would seem to
be an exceptionally advantageous one
for this business. Its charter powers
are of the broadest possible kind, en-
abling it to receive deposits, loan
money on mortgages, stocks, bonds,
paper of all kinds; to discount notes,
to deal in real and personal property
of every kind; to become surety on all
kinds of bonds; to act as trustee, ex
ecutor or receiver and generally to do
a II other kinds of business as fully as
the trust companies in the larger
cities.
The incorporates are Daniel E.
Offutt, DR.. r. A. Ravenscroft and
Eli Mcmillan, of Garrett county; Chas.
J. Harrison, of Somerset, and Samuel
J. Edwards, G. l.. Brett, DeWarren
H. Reynolds, A. H. Amick, Benjamin
A. Richmond, David P. Miller and
VIM. A. Morgart, of Cumberland.
The present issue of stock is limited
to $4,000, but under its charter the
company has power to increase the
capital to not more than, $3.50, 900.
When the $4,000 of stock is sub
scribed and $25, 900 of the same is paid
in, the stockholders will elect board
of directors, not less than ten nor
more than fifteen in number, to man
age the affairs of the company.
The enterprise is in the hands of
wide-awake, careful and conservative
men, who are among the most sub
stantial citizens of Allegany and Gar
rett counties, and will undoubtedly
succeed. With such a surrounding
field as Oakland, Somerset, Bedford,
Piedmont, Keyser, Romney, Moore
field, Davis, Hagerstown, Martins
burg, together with Cumberland,
Georges Creek and Allegany county
to furnish it with business, its success
seems already assured.

THE ring bosses have been succeed

cure the passage of the disfranchise-

clines to wear the yoke of the ring

THE hopelessness of the struggle to
save the people their rights is only
too apparent. The Democrats have
determined to rush through the Leg
islature, the measure they mace the
caucus swallow. 1t is useless for the
people to resist because it is recog-
nized that the ring has its ruthless
hold upon the affairs of the State,
and will work its purpose in spite of
all that can be done. The only way
to meet the difficulties is to overthrow
the ring at the first opportunity 1t
is most significant that the Democrats
are by no means unit for the meas
ure. Some even refuse to vote for it,
and many realize that to support it
means political death. The law is
unconstitutional and defective. 1t
was pretended that the Democrats
desired to pass a law to prevent
bribery. But this law that they
would pass leaves the door open for
bribery in a greater degree than ever
before. 1t is so fiagrantly defective
that the bribery cry of the Democrats
is recognized as a subterfuge to at
tain an ultimate object. The object
is to deprive as many voters as posi-
bic of their right to vote, first, to
send A. P. German to the Senate and
then to allow the ring to have control
of the machinery so it will be possible
for it to suppress expressions of the

THE HUNTERS CABIN.

There's lonely hunters cabin
Where the wild deer roam at will
And the evening shadows gather
Ger grave upon the hill;
Where the hunter sleeping soundly
Hears the Turing cries no more,
While the night wind whispers sadly
AT the open cabin door.
Oh, the royal life OF freedom
That the hunter called his own
Is passing with the glories
That will never more be known;
For the grasping hand of commerce
With its greedy lust for gain
VIII leave the daring hunter
But pitiful domain.
