furnish Responding Democrats with
what they were sorely in need, an
tissue" But, happily, the majority
of the people OF the State are too in
telligent to be duped by such clap
trap, such cheap humbuggery. 1t is
a weak subterfuge, and too easily
seen through to cut much of figure
with the voters of Maryland.
They will remember the numerous
and important reforms introduced in
the State during the few years the
Republicans were in power. They
were years of economical administra-
ton and good government. Taxes
were reduced, former Democratic Of
ficials were forced TO refund to the
State large sums of money wrong
fully withheld, schools were improv-
ed, and the best election law ever
known in the State was placed upon
the statute books.
The average voter has long mem

the false cry of negro domination and
the still sillier carping as regards the

More Advice From BRYAN.

The weary, shallow effort, so per-
sistently pursued by Editor Bryan to
give the workingman advice on how
he should vote, is becoming nauseat-
ing. Bryan now has the effrontery
to urge the artisan and toiler to pin
their faith to the soup house party,
his contention being that it is not
favorable to trusts. This is the iden-
tical gentleman who harangued the
people during two well remembered
political campaigns from the tail end
of train and here are few of his
prophecies: That a vote for sound
money was a vote for ruin and dis
aster; that hardship and poverty, of
which the country was bountifully
supplied at that time, could be speed
lily dissipated by opening our minis
to the silver of the world; that a pro-
tective tariff was robbery and an
insurmountable obstacle in the path
of prosperity; that wheat and silver
were united in the bonds of COM
mercial wedlock and where the one
went the other had to follow.
AS a dreamer Col. Bryan has no
peer, living or dead. The conditions
that he declared ruinous have proved
to be the most profitable in the his
tory of the world. Wages, in the ag-
gregate, have never been so great in
the United States. The contention
between the steel corporation and its
employees does not hinge upon the
problem of wages, and statistics prove
the American artisan leads those of
all other nations IN this substantial
particular.
The American workingman is not
devoid of common sense. He will
not ally himself with a soup house
crew, nor will he put aside remuner-
ative toll to favor an impracticable
theorisu. The average workingman
is better able, through the mediums
of his memory, experience and brains,
to know what is best for him than is
Mr.. Bryan. If not, let him recall the
conditions that were common some
six years ago.

A Chance lime Has Wrought.

According to the official figures,
there are in Maryland, of all sexes,
1,1SS,044 souls, OF whom 953, 424 are
white and 235,O64 colored. In other
words, only 1913 per cent. of the
whole population is colored. How
silly it is, indeed, for General Baugh-
man or any other intelligent man,
how downright funny for great
party in solemn convention assem-
bled, to talk of negro domination in a
State where whites outnumber the
blacks four to one. That General
Baughman attempts to wave this red
alarm flag before the people of Mary
land reminds us OF one of the Incl
dental features of great tragedy of
the past.
General Baughman was a soldier
in the Civil War. Brave, fearless,
earnest and enthusiastic, he fought a
good fight for the Confederacy. While
We cannot assert it positively, we be-
lieve he was among those who used
to boast that one Confederate soldier
could whip five of his fellow Amer
leans from Yankeeland. That was in
1876. How times have changed
Forty years ago General Baughman
would have triumphed over five
Yankees. To-day he stands in fear
and trembling lest one negro tri-
umphs oyer four white Marylanders.
Time works many wonders, but never
was marvel greater than the change
that has come over General Baugh-
man in the interval between the day
when he was a better man than five
other white men until now, when he
quakes in his boots for fear that he is
not as good man as one-fourth of
one lowly negro Negro domination?

WHATEVER may be the main issue
upon which the present political con-
test will be waged, it is the duty of
every Republican to rally to the sup
port of the nominees of his party. 1t
would also seem the duty of every
man, irrespective of party, to aid in
the election of men who will not only
guarantee to all men the rights to
which they are entitled, but secure
to them the highest right man can
have, after worshipping' God as he
may see fit-the free and unrestrained
exercise of the right of franchise.

The Constable Arrested.

Constable Charles Wilson, of Con
nellsville, Pa, who refused to pay a
fee of so cents for locking up J. T.
Hottie, of Friendsville, this county,
who was in his custody for uncoupling
a car of an excursion train, was ar
rested on Saturday and held for
court.
Hottie, after his release from the
custody of the Pennsylvania officials,
came to Oakland and was seen here
by one or two parties who recognized
him. His whereabouts are now I'M
known.
George W. Shartzer, who was
placed under arrest at the same time
with Hottie, charged with pulling
the bell cord of the same train and
thereby placing the lives of many
people in danger, is yet in Jail at
Uniontown where he will remain IN
til after the charges against him are
disposed of by the court which meets
September 18th. When Shartzer was
arrested he was searched by the Of
ticials and upon his person a revolver
and a black jack were found. In
Pennsylvania the punishment pre-
scribed by law for carrying concealed
weapons is fine of not less than
800 nor more than $500, with term
of imprisonment besides, in the dis
erection of the court.

ments showing their Indebtedness to
this Office. Whilst the responses, in
number of instances, have been
prompt and entirely satisfactory, the
majority of those owing us have in no
manner paid any attention to our
call for what is Justly and rightly due
us. AS we are laboring with limit
ed capital and the aggregate amount
owing to us by our friends is quite
large, we ask that all who have not
paid will do so at once. 1t is I'M
pleasant for us to ask through these
columns for what is due us, but no
other remedy seems at hand. If you
are coming to court, Sept. 9th, bring
the amount due us with you. If you

Deceptive Issues.

The Democrats have had their
State Convention, and the edict has
gone forth from German and Rasin
that the issues ON which the cam
paign is to be conducted are negro
domination" and alleged census
frauds
This is evident from the labored
editorials in democratic organs.
As though in a State where there
are less than 10000 negros of voting
age in total of 521 1903 males of vot-
ing age, there is much danger of col
ored voters dominating 1t looks,
indeed, to the average Democrat as
though negro voter assumed to be
of about eight times as much import
ance as the voter who is fortunate
enough to be the possessor of a white
skin.
Did ever a party which boasts of
long line of notable statesmen ever
before have SO weak a piece of timber
as the principal plank in its unique
platform?
A greater bugaboo than this of
Maryland Democracy never before
did duty in political campaign.
And next to it, as an issue, is the
census matter. A handful, as it were.
of Federal enumerators, failed to do
their duty, as sworn to do. The Ad-
ministration, of course, as soon as
mistakes were pointed out, promptly
began an investigation for the pur-
pose of correcting the States returns
and Furnishing the guilty offenders.
That wouldn't do, of course not !
The Democrats must have a census
of their own; it would put forty thou
sand dollars in the pockets of party
workers, and, quite as important,

WILL the Democrats nominate a
ticket for Garrett county," has been
asked times without number recent
ly. The answer has invariably been,
What's the use?''
The Democracy is at its wits end to
find candidates who are willing to
stand up and spend their money for
an empty honor.
An effort has been made to have
the talked-of ticket headed by a
prominent mill operator The gem
tleman has some wealth, and among
the leaders it is an open secret that
if the aforementioned gentleman can
be prevailed upon to accept the NOM
ination his purse strings can be easily
loosened and the expense of the en-
tire campaign paid from his plethoric
purse, but we give him credit with
having more business acumen than
to allow himself to be made the pay
master of the Democracy of the
county, and with no hopes of being
reimbursed for his expenditure.
The Republican ticket is made up
OF good business men, and if the dis
satisfied element of the Democracy
desire to render real service to the
people let them cast their ballots for
the ticket headed by Senator Ravens

Women as City ImprOvers.

n WIlIcE III d TcCeuG AuIuUeT Vi one
of our State papers suggests that
women generally ought to interest
themselves more in municipal i'm
proYement. There is a practical
value in beauty which is more appar-
ent to the keener esthetic sense of
women than ofmen, and their energy
in banishing ugliness and substitut-
ing attraction is a much needed fac
tor in municipal life. The town and
village improvement movement,
which has already done SO much in
this direction, owes much of its i'm
petus to women, and it is largely
women who belong to these associa-
lions and conduct their work.
2 The home making instinct in a
woman of which housekeeping is one
of the expressions, is shocked by the
sight OF dirty, ill-paved, untidy
streets, ill-kept public thoroughfares,
refuse-laden lots and generally I'M
kempt condition of municipalities.
Then, again, the superior tenderness
of the feminine heart recalls the suf-
ferings of man and beast caused by
lack of good water in hot weather,
and the result of this is an agitation
for the drinking fountains with which
all cities and towns ought to be liber-
ally supplied. and which go so far
towards preserving the public he alth.
The planting of trees, with their
beauty-giving qualities and hygienic
value, is another work appealing
strongly to women, who labor untir-
ingly when they see, in imagination,
long, cool, green vistas shading the
dusty streets and tempering the glare
of the summer sun.
Another great advantage i'll the
public work of women in this regard
is that it is carried on wholly without
reference to politics. They recognize
only beauty's own excuse for being,
and they are inclined to regard polit-
zeal expediency as great hindrance
in any sort of laudable work. The
education they can give the young
by putting this standard of municipal
beauty before them, by accustoming
them to feasts for the eye, and by
their natural influence over children.
is of incalculable value. Men are too
apt to pass by these improvements as
out of practical lines, and do not real
ize what they mean till they see for
themselves the completed effect in
the change from bare ugliness to
flourishing natural loneliness.
There is a business value in this
loveliness. Itmeans smoother streets,
greater cleanliness, higher grade of
health, an increase of energy and
better reputation abroad. The beau
ty spots in our city, the small parks,
are not to be surpassed, but the rest
of the city should conform to them.
Let the women stir themselves and
agitate the question. Let them insist
on better streets, on more public
cleanliness, on a liberal supply of
handsome drinking fountains, and
they will be surprised themselves at
their success in getting them all.
From public beauty the desire will
spread to beautify private homes,
and a smooth bit of grass, few
bright flowers and some delicate
vines will transform the lowliest
homes. Beauty is SO cheap that it is
simply extravaganza to waste it's op-
portunities. Let our won en- start
the work done so well elsewhere, and
the community in which they live,
and bless them.
