MR.. FISHER CONFIDENT.
Republican Candidate Says Maryland
Will Down the Democracy.

Mr.. William N. Fisher republican candi-
date for the Maryland senate from Prince
Georges county, has been spending
short time at his former home in Ana
costa after taking part in some vigorous
preliminary campaign work IN the inter-
ests of the party in the county. MI
Fisher is a former High School boy with
a large number of friends in the District
In this connection 1t is stated that the
republican organization at Anacostia will
render him service in the campaign. Mr.
Fisher appears to be well satisfied with
his own prospects. and is certain OF his
partys victory throughout the state.
In the course OF conversation TINS
morning upon the condition of affairs Mr.
Fisher stated that the colored voters
through the county are being given practi-
cal instruction to prepare them for voting
at the polls, that each district has from
four to five night schools in operation for
this purpose, and that, not content with
this, men are engaged to visit them while
they labor In the fields.
THE outlook for republican success in
Maryland this fall is very bright" he
stated. Notwithstanding that we have
had to fight against the results Of a $4,000
canvass of the state, otherwise known as
the state census, on the first day of regis
tration, which occurred last Tuesday, the
republicans made gains in fifteen out Of
sixteen election districts in the county.
ne COlOTeQ NOteTS, DeueNiUS THAT the
democrats mean to shut them out entirely
in the future if the opportunity offers. are
very earnest in their efforts, and they are
learning to vote rapidly and will line up
solidly in November. The democratic
party is split from top to bottom, and
large numbers of them are openly express
ing their intention to vote the republican
ticket.
considering the dissatisfaction existing
among the democrats, the almost perfect
unity among the republicans, the satisfac-
tion Of the truckers and farmers with the
prices they are receiving and the injustice
of the new election law, l think I can
safely say Maryland will elect republi-
can legislature and that Prince Georges
county will contribute her share to this
end"
Mr.. Fisher Is the deputy treasurer at
Marlboro, having his home in Oxon Hill
district He has given up his work for
the present in order to devote all his time
to the campaign.

Household Worries.

1t is truly the little things that make
up life, and it is the little worries that
bring crows feet and gray hair to the
housekeeper. When the stove does not
bake as it should or the bread refuses to
rise, the tiny wrinkles come, and we make
as much fuss over the mishaps as though
city had fallen. Then perhaps right in
the midst of our troubles comes the news
of grief to another so great that for
moment we feel ashamed that we are not
happy and joyous as the day is long
with our tiny minor troubles that are
really, after all, but bubbles that burst
as soon as the light of smile rests upon
them.
Yet within an hour, perhaps, we are
troubled with household worries as much
as ever. They are numerous, as any
housekeeper will not deny, yet l doubt
If it's worth while to make oneself and
ones family miserable just because we
are. annoyed. Ever since Eve and Adam
set up housekeeping for themselves out
side the gate of the garden of Eden there
have been household trials that at times
make one wish to be an angel But we
are told that trials come only to broaden
our natures and sweeten our tempers. II
that be so, it requires an immense
amount sometimes to accomplish the OBJ

While none of these estimates can be
regarded as wholly accurate they are
sufficiently near the truth to show that
we will have considerably less than
half a corn crop this year, which is a
serious loss to the whole country. Corn
will be so high and scarce that it is
doubtful if any can be exported. The
lack of food will lead to n reduction in
the droves Of hogs, and we shall ex-
port smaller amount Of packing house
products. The losses entailed by the
drought in the great corn belt, while
they may not be regarded in the nature
of a national disaster will naturally
result in marked decrease in volume
of the country's trade.
Happily ia most If not all Of the
states where there is a shortage OF
corn there is diversity of crops, most
of which are abundant, so that the
losses will not fall with great severity
upon any section of the country.

The Chicago Tribune says that the

The Chicago Tribune says that the
officers of certain western roads have
agreed to report to the commissioners
of their association all cut rate con-
tracts with shippers of freight to and
from Colorado and Utah. But one rail
way official is quoted as saying that
the roads never will reveal a majority
of their secret agreements with the
largest shippers. The reason assigned
for this is that, while it is true that
these contracts are illegal, being made
in violation of the interstate commerce
law, the railroads have assumed q
moral obligation which they will not
disown." This moral obligation"
grows out of the fact that in many
cases the shippers have made contracts
for the delivery of goods at a price
based on the illegal concessions the
roads had agreed to make. One does
not get very exalted idea of the
standard of morals prevailing in high
railroad circles when one hears an Off
cial speak of the moral obligation" at
taching to an immoral and illegal
agreement.

Tho Corn Crop Shortage.

The New York Herald has been MAX
ing a thorough and remarkably COM
plete investigation Of the conditions of
the corn belt, which includes the states
of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, Kan
sas. Nebraska and Iowa, and finds
the yield of these states will not exceed
40 per cent of the average crop. The
Herald's reports are later and supple
ment the governments August crop
report, which estimates the yield at "a
per cent, 33.5 per cent lower than the
corresponding date last. year. Accord
ing to the governments August report
the lowest yield was in Kansas, where
the condition of the crop was repre-
scented by the figure 10, though there
appears to have been some improve
ment since Aug. 1. In Missouri it was
20, in Nebraska 80, in Illinois 81 and in
Indiana and Iowa 81. These percent
ages indicate crop for the whole coun-
try of about 1,300,000,0O0 bushels, as
last year.
The Herald concludes from it's adj
vices that except in Kansas there have
been serious losses particularly east of
the Mississippi since the governments
report was issued. 1t concludes that
the yield for the whole country will
not go beyond l, 100000, 900 bushels.
The following table shows the prob
able yield in the various states of the
corn belt which have been affected by
the drought, as compared to the actual
yield of last year and also the total
corn product of the United States:

A HORNETS NEST.

The balance of right and wrong is
very frequently found slumping to
one side or the other when the scales
are burdened with stubborn miscon-
ception of things or unreasoning
self interest. 1t is every man 8
prerogative and duty to look after
his own interests-no one else will
do that for him-and in the natural
order of things man generally must
be on the lookout for the worlds
Aggressors and be prepared to stand
up for his own, and the man pro-
tecting his own castle from assault
finds always host to applaud him.
But it is difficult to see where the
proposed extension of the p. & |. n.
Ry. up Hornet creek has any charac-
teristics of aggression that calls for
the organized resistance which is re-
ported TO be going on. In cases
where the property of an individual,
or portion of it, is required for any
enterprise Of great public benefit
or necessity, that property can be
taken by law, even though the In
dividual refuse to sell voluntarily.
But in these cases there is no ag-
gression to resist, as it is done by
law, that great organization of the
public mind and general will of
which the individual concerned and
his neighbor Is a part, and is never
done without full compensation for
the property taken. Not compensa-
ton, possibly, at such figures as
cupidity may cause the affected party
to desire, but in nearly every instance
the consideration is just and fair
AS near equity as impartial lnvesti-
cation and sound judgement can as
certain in weighing the damage sus-
tanned to the property owner, and if
there is any variation it is generally
in the favor of the party whose
property is being taken because of
= due consideration for possible
future profits of which he may be
deprived. The writer has come in
contact with Mr.. Lewis A. Hall,
since his advent into the present
field of operations, in ways which
gave every opportunity to Judge of
his character and he is fair, upright
and conscienciously disposed man,
anxious to pay what is right and
proper for every foot of privately
owned soil necessary to be utilized in
the building of his enterprises, he
wishes none to suffer financial loss
through his operations and 1t reason
able to suppose that the P. & L. N.
Ry stands ready to do all that is fair
with the farmers of Hornet If it'll
is true that they have organized in
advance of any aggression by the
road, that fact would indicate more
of disposition to hold up the con-
structjng company for big sums,
The Weiser signal. [volume] (Weiser, Idaho) 1890-1904, 1901-08-29

rather than any fear that their own
property rights would be injured or
great damage financially be sustain
ed. 1t is common idea with some
people that the advent of railway
across their land is the opportunity
OF a lite time to make great tinan-
cial stroke. They dream of the
riches to come from the windfall of
luck as the prospector dreams of un-
earthing fabulous seams of pure gold.
They believe there is no limit to
treasure in the great Golfers of the
railroad company and that all that
is necessary, in order to receive big
slices of supposed treasure, is to
stubbornly hang out until the rail
way gives up in order to get them to
let go. 1t is told as positive fact
that certain lady of Hornet creek
was asked how it came that thew
were occupying so rocky and barren
a location. 'Oh, she replied, "the
railroad has to go through our place
and we expect to get enough out of
them to buy good farml That
illustrates the disposition of many.
The barren condition. however. is
exceptional as most of the farms are
rich and fertile, lying narrow along
the creek, and many will be dis
figured with a railway through the
choicest part. But the way to get
full compensation is to be reasonable.
fair and sensible, and all such will
no doubt find the p & /. n. in a
similar frame OF mind. But if
Hornet creek farmers have or
gained to hold for unreason-
able sums and to show Mr..
Hall that he has struck a hornets
nest, it is really too bad as, they are
taking the wrong course, one which
means waste of money in litigation,
and final loss to themselves. 1t will
not stop construction on the road. as
bonds would be put up by the rail
way to pay whatever damages were
legally appraised, and the road
would go through and when the ap-
pralsement was made and paid and
litigation bills deducted, final receipts
would be less than was originally
offered. The farmer should re-
ceive very liberal compensation UNI
der the conditions and should stick
out for fair and square deal, but
should not ask so much for damage
of ten or twenty per cent as he would
take for the whole place year ago.
Right Is. right and both parties are
to fair treatment and we are
thinking that those few who are
ready to meet the road in a fair
spirit will find no cause for COM
plant. They will get fair treatment
now and hereafter.

SUSPECT THE ST. PAUL.
Electric Line May Be Owned by Big
Steam Road.

Milwaukee, March 20-The opinion
is growing that the proposed Milwau-
kee and Lake Geneva electric railway
that has asked for entrance into the
city is being pushed in the interest Of
the st. Paul road and is designed, in
time, to become a part of that giant
system. Old railroaders point to the
fact that the men who are named as
being behind the new road are old St.
Paul road men. S. M. Green is the
agent for the Merrill estate and has
been associated with the st. Paul road
in most of it's plans where the aid of
an outsider is desired and w. H. Shell
don has been civil engineer for the
road almost since the beginning OF
time and has often been associated
with plans that required. in the begin
ming, the presence of someone who
would in reality be the st. Paul road
under cover.
1t is argued that. as Chicago sends
about 5000 people to the Lake Geneva
country every Sunday during the sea-
son, Milwaukee being good Sunday
excursion town. would send almost
half as many, and that business would
make the line a good piece Of prop
e1ty For the present, it is believed
that the electric plans will be carried
out, but when the business is worked
up to the right point, the railroad
men look to see the st. Paups trains
running over the tracks of the new
road to Lake Geneva, though they
probably will not run through the city,
but will connect with the Chicago di-
vision south of the city.
This line takes in HaIe's Corners,
the Muskego lakes, Mukwonag0,

Senator Has no Intention of Wedding
His Niece.

Washington, March 19.-"My feel
ings alternate between mirth and
anreg when l think of the report that
has been so widely circulated that
am to marry Miss Paulding."
This statement was made by Sena-
tor Chauncey M. Depew when qdes-
toned by a correspondent about a
printed report that he was shortly to
marry Miss Paulding, his niece, whose
engagement to Lieut. Edie, of the
navy, was recently broken.

Miss Paulding was niece of my wife
This is not true. My wife's nieces are
the Misses Haggerman, and they are
now in Europe"
When the senator was asked if he
intended in the near future to assume
matrimonial relations he laughed and
said: 81 do not. No such thought now
occupies my mind.

pew, 'the report Of my contemplated
marriage to my niece is being persist

dispatches give the details the ar

capital with the expectation of marry.
ing Captain w. HI. Bledsoe, one of the
best known of Yukon river pilots.
Miss Moore is "a years old, and went
to Cape Nome last spring, where she
was employed as stenographer in an
abstract Office. She is well connected
in San Francisco and went north pri-
marily to secure gold claims in her
own right.
While there she met Captain Bled.
soc. They became engaged, and it
was arranged that she should return
to San Francisco and he would return
this winter and marry her. Late in
the fall she received letters, stating it
would be impossible for him to go to
San Francisco, and asking her to re-
turn to Dawson Miss Moore agreed
to the plan, expanding more than
$1,000 for her trousseau and transpor-
tation.
Just before reaching Dawson She
learned that Bledsoe had married a
variety actress known as Nine Lloyd,
a week previous, and was then enjoy
ing his honeymoon. On reaching Daw-
son, Miss Moore went to the offices of
the Alaska Commercial company,
which employs Bledsoe, which fur
nished her funds to reach home, with
the understanding that the money adj
vanced would be deducted from Bled-
soe's salary next season. Miss Moore
and Bledsoe did not meet.
