4 Foolish Governor.

Under the heading, "a Pleasing
Prophecy to Many" the Cumberland
Time, says
The North Carolina papers quote the ac-
complished Governor of that State as saying
just before the Maryland election
If Hon. \. 7. German is elected /. :.
senator, he will be the democratic nominee
for the presidency in 1904,
Just think of McComas in the Senate and
Mudd in the House with Mr.. German in the
White House.
If there is one thing under the sun I'M
accomplished that is absolutely certain
to remain so it is that MIR. German, him
self brfore tie psopI", ~W ""rcr carry
Nnry'n"d!
If, therefore. he ever enters the White
House it will be a reward given him by
the democrats of other States for losing
his own
The governor of North Carolina should
stick to the wiser office of advising the
colored people how to prosper by behav-
ing themselves. He is Il million miles
below his element as a toadv of German.

Found Dead.

The death of Odd jackson, colored
man, formerly resident here, later of
Meyersdale, Pa, is reported as having
occurred at that place Friday, Novem-
Der l, 1901. The RcpuJiico" says he
was found dead in carriage in Will
liams' livery stable, and his death was due to
heart failure, brought on by the excessive use
of alcoholic stimulants. He was buried in
the Potter's field on Friday afternoon. For
number of years he was employed in a
meat market at Frostburg and was considered
a very fire workman, but he has been a
wreck for a number of years, and twice
within a year he had been picked up for
dead We understand he leaves widow and
family at Frostburg, from whom he had been
separated for some time
The last statement is erroneous. He
had no family.

Fact.

The ballot was not so bad, after all, and, as
Fred. Bepler says, if the republican managers
had not Missed and how led and beloved and
blown so furiously about it one thousand
more republicans would have gone to the

normal majorities.-
Fred" is more than half right.
Hundreds were deferred from voting by
the noise made over the So-called trick

The JOURNAL, i'll its last issue before
the election, told the people that "the
ballot is all right" and so it is as Il me-
dunn Of expressing the competent voter'S
choice, but many VINO doubted their
competency to vote for mem, instead of

into staying at home.

In disposing Of the cases Judge kimball
said:
"It is very unfortunate for the District
that Just outside of it's boundaries there
are places that have the reputation that
this place has. I do not know whether
that reputation Is true or false. 1t Is very
unfortunate that just outside Of the Dis
tation because it hurts the good name of
the state Of Maryland and OF the District
of Columbia. It Is very unfortunate that
decent people cannot come in on the cars
from Chesapeake Junction without seeing
men and women drunk and doing and say
ing things that it Is not proper for decent
people to see or hear.
"I do not say that the reputation that
this place bears is true. but there has been
testimony before me again and again of
the disgraceful conduct of people coming
from that place, and consider 1t my duty,
as Judge of this court, SO far as 1t comes
within my jurisdiction, to help Maryland
prevent this disgraceful conducts and /
shall Impose the highest penalty, $40, or
1O8 days in the work house.

Plea Made In Connection With the Re-
naming of Streets.
Mr.. Stephen Vail of Middletown, Conn.,,
who says he is descendant of the man
after whom one of Washington's newly
designated streets Is named, has written
the District Commissioners a letter upon
that subject He says:
"I have Just read an article describing
the proposed remaining Of the streets of
Washington in which Is given list OF the
names as submitted by Engineer Richards.
In the lists of one-syllable places am much
gratified to find that of VAIL which, l
fiatter myself, is that of my father, Alfred
Of the electric telegraph, and, in fact, the
one to whom the world owes the so-called
Morse system.
IF you will permit me to suggest as we'll
as to plead for a change, it is that of giving
the name Vail to street instead Of to
place. Sir, no honor to his name by his
country can be too great for his incalcula-
BILE services In giving to 1t his invention.
which has not as yet received any public
recognition.
II would suggest that If you desire guild
ance for such action and desire Information
as to my fathers claim to distinction as
one whose name should be perpetuated by
his country / would refer you to Prof J. E.
Watkins of the National Museum, who
made a very extensive and exhaustive
study of the claims 1 have always made for
my father as the real inventor of the tele-
graph.
Prof. Franklin L. Pope wrote at the con-
clusion of a long article in which my
fathers claims were presented: The tele-
graph OF today, and for all time, is solely
the work Of Joseph Henry and Alfred Vail
Henry devised the electric magnet, and the
soul of the invention. the dot and dash al
phabet, was the work alone Of Alfred Vail,
and, too, the necessary mechanism.
