"MADGE SMITH, ATTORNEY"

At the Academy of Music, Baltimore,
next week. new life will be inspired in
the theatrical season by the cXtraorlin-
airy star and her extraordinary success,
Miss Irwin and her play "Madge Smith,
Attorney" According to New York Mr..
Morris. the author, is to be congratulated
upon the result that he and clever Miss
Irwin have accomplished, for the general
opinion seems to be that "Madge Smith,
Attorney" is the best play Miss Irwin
has had in many year. Its hit is UNI
doubted for from the first night of pro-
duction it went like wild-fre. To the
lovers of May Irwin and her peculiar
fun-making atmosphere it offers Il more
interesting, entertaining and varied per-
Torrance than anything she has done.
The play itself tells ii very funny story,
which is strong enough to hold the in
terest from its beginning to the end, and
incidental to the action of the play are
introduced, as usual some of Miss r.
wins infectious songs, but this time they
have been interpolated so naturally and
50 skillfully that they appear to be por-
ton of the play itself. The breakfast
scene in Act ii, where the singing is
found. and the court room scene in Act
III, are said to be as entertaining and
funny as anything seen on the stage in
years.

WHAT 1T MEANS.

NDER the misleading cry Of
negro domination, with only
~ one-ffth of our population in
Maryland colorcd people, the
Democratic Managers hope to capture
this State on November 9TH, and after
wards to render their tenure forever
declare, will prevent the control of the
State Government from passing into the
hands of those, who have neither the
| ability or the interest to manage public
affairs wisely and WE'LL
! In view of their unmistakable declara-
| tons of the Democratic Bosses. it is GER
tainly time for the people of the State
TO realize just what these declarations
mean.
AS Il contemporary forcibly says -
You can't doctor election laws so as to
| tie down the control of the State gov
eminent to one party without making
that party supreme and undisputcd in all
| elections municipal and national. as
| well rs State To make Maryland one
party State. like Alabama or Mississippi
that is the programme. How do in
| dependents like it? How do those per-
| sons like it who had the satisfaction in
| 1896, and again in 1900. of helping to
put Maryland on the side of sound
money. and causing her to be placed.
throughout the country. in the foremost
rank as an uncompromiSing opponent of
currency dcbaScmcnt: Who knows when
| Il like issue may arise again. DO we
want Maryland to be bound hand and
foot to the fortunes of one party, how
ever wild its proposals for the country'S
government may be! 1t doesn't matter
what the personal opinions of the Demo-
cratic Headers" may be: they will 20
with the tide. If the party says Bryan,
they will say Bryan; if the party says
Alleged, they will say Altgeld. Didn't
they do SO in 1896? Didn't they do so in
1900? They will do so again when the
time comes. Shall we give them power
of attorney TO speak for the people Of
Maryland? Shall we not reserve the
right TO speak for ourselves on election
day? That is the right which we are go
ing to sacrifice if we turn the Legislature
over to them this fall. and give them Il
mandate ''to take such action rs will
insure their staying in control indct-
nitely.'

y Il public address last week, State
Senator $. \. Williams. Of Har-
/ ford county, who in the recent
special session OF the Legislature
against the Democratic Bosses. made Il
Stirrin" appeal in rhalf of good govern
ment in Maryland. In closing his adj
dress Mr. Williams made Il stirring APP
peal to the people of Hartford. and which
is equally timely in Cecil county.
Il feel confident" said he. that the
fair-mnded men of the State of Mary
land have noticed long ere this that the
real purpose of the Democratic leaders
in passing the Election and Census Laws
was not for the purpose of benctiting the
people of Maryland. but rather to satisfy
the ambitious of II few political leaders.
y class of people who will do such things
are certainly not to he trusted with the
government of our fair state. The state
mcnt recently made by MesSrs. Van
diver, German, Rasin and others of the
Democratic party that if the present
Election Law does not answer the pur-
pose for which it was enacted, and in
case the Democrats do continue in power.
Il more stringent law will be passed that
will keep the party intrenched in power
for some time to come is enough to make
the people of the state awaken to Il sense
of their duty and call halt to any such
doings. | most earnestly besecch the
people of Hartford county who are in
favor of good government to take an ac-
tive interest in the workings of the pres
ent campaign and see that the right
kind of people are elected to fill the
several offices. would make this APP
peal particularly to the church members,
who can accomplish great good by taking
an interest in politics this fall. The
church member who stands aside and
says he does not want to dabble in poll
tics is Il political coward both before his
fellowcitiZen and his God. and some day
will have to answer for what | call
sin either in this world or in the world to
come"

In spite of the negro "hugahoo." the

Arc our people willing to return to
former political conditions, when the

Legislature became its feeble echo. and
State politics were absolutely dictated by
one or two political bosses?
