POCOMOKE CITY, Md, Mch. q, 1901.
am not politician and have no
use for extreme partisan methods.
1t has been my observation since
early manhood that when a party re-
sorts to radical measures to perpetu-
ate its power its day of ascendancy is
near at hand. |, therefore do not hes
itate to predict, although mot a
prophet or the son of prophet, that
the Democratic party of Maryland is
now digging its political grave.
The old charm and confidence in
spired in our souls by the magic of
these champions of the plain peo-
pie" has taken flight to climate
more congenial to the abettors and
instigators of the twentieth century
Democracy of the John Walter Smith
type that is now plotting to rob us of
the highest gift of our great Repub-
lie, and left us free to see and know
men by their works.
If our Democratic friends would
only put their ears to the ground and
catch the subtle murmers of loathing
and disgust entertained by the voters
who for years placed them in power,
trusting on, hoping on, and only reap
ing the fruits of broken pledges they
would not be so self-deceiving.
Here, AS in other places, we have
men who have the highest claims to
the full enjoyment of citizenship.
Men of modest means, who have la
bored long and arduously to gain a
competency; men who have raised
large families of sober and industri-
Gus boys and girls; men who are as
Jealous for the welfare of their coun-
try as any man can be; men who have
sealed their right to participate in
the affairs of their country by bray
ing the perils of war in defense of
their homes and liberty, freely giving
their youth and blood for the inherit
ance that is theirs by right of consti-
tutional law; men whose sons are to-
day nobly and fearlessly responding
to their country's call in far away
and unhealthy climates; and these
men, and their children for in many
cases boys had to be kept from school
to work for the support of their
mothers and younger sisters and
brothers, are to be deprived of their
votes And for what? Simply to en-
able few discredited politicians to

Subscription books for the capital
stock of the proposed furniture fac
tory for Oakland have been opened
at the furniture store of Messrs. D. f.
Bolden & Co. in Oakland. So far
about $4,000 have been subscribed.
The shares are $40 each
The promoters of the enterprise are
desirious of getting as many persons
interested as possible and as soon as
sufficient capital has been secured the
charter will be drawn and a board of
managers and other officers elected.
1t is propos ed to utilize the Oak
land planning mill plant for the fac
tory. This can be readily done with
but little additional expense in the
way of machinery to that already in
thesbuilding.
Should the enterprise be successful.
it will give employment to a number
of men all year around.

Furnish Their Own Music.

II. +. Shillingberg, of Gormania, w.
Va, book keeper for the large Hoff-
man tannery located there, has quite
an orchestra in his household. His
two daughters play violins, his son
the big bass fiddle, and Tom, himself,
is also a fiddler. They play a good
grade of music, and his daughter, who
is only 16 years of age, is quite VIC
linist and leads the orchestra.

give him a good office for distinguish
ed and meritorious service at the
election.
Instead of expanding several hun
dred thousand dollars in electing
Governor Smith, it would have been
practicable under this perilous pro-
vision to carry enough counties to
elect Governor Smith and the legisla-
ture by the expenditure of $4,000 in
paying the fine of corrupt partisan
supervisors in a dozen counties.
Should this section remain, the Dem
ocrats need not spend more than
S20,0 in bribery of their Democratic
supervisors to carry legislature
This is bribery, made easy in the
only machinery of our election laws,
which is still partisan. | hope our
State Senators, who are making a
noble fight to save something for
honest elections, may restore the old
section or put in a penalty to send
such supervisor to the peniten tiary.
A man who would commit such a
crime as robbing a county of it's suf-
frage deserves death, not a small fine.
Since he cannot be hanged, he should
be in peril of ten years in the peni-
defend the scheme successfully. There
are numerous amendments making
our election law afford loopholes for
fraud. These instanced, all make the
best law the worst.
Il will not go further. Each omis-
sion from the present law takes away
a safeguard; each addition opens the
door to some fraud or crime against
fair elections. Each change is bad.
The climax is in concealment from
the candidate or his agent of the form
of the ballot and the opportunity to
a partisan majority of supervisors to
mingle the names to help defraud and
to defeat honest voters, and the strong
temptation to partisan supervisors to
sell the whole election, risking only a
slight fine.
in the Senate our majority is am
pie to offer amendments and debate
them thoroughly, and at such length
that the conscience of the public may
be aroused. l hope they may pro
long the debate until the people UNI
derstand this bill. If such bill as
this be passed, the courts.will not be
appealed to in vain. Then the peo-
pie will have clear-cut issue, and
the choice between the fair elections
of the last five years and a genera
ton If fraudulent elections which
preceded. The Democrats will need
to practice all the frauds this bad law
affords them to overcome the new re =
volt of good citizens of all parties,
who will again combine to overthrow
this conspiracy and defeat the ring

THE POULTRY YARD.

Gravel or coarse sand is as much
needed as ordinary food.
All chickens want for health, growth
and good conditions is plain, nutritious
food.
Even when the fowls have an unlim-
tied range it is a good plan to feed
them every evening.
One OF the first things to learn about
poultry is that they must be kept clean
and free from vermin.
Peafowls are handsome and subsist
with the least care of any kind OF
fowls. They are prolific layers and a
good protection against hawks.
Raw bone contains every part of an
egg-white. yolli and shell. Therefore
ii should be kept constantly before lay
ing hens in the granhlated form.
One OF the best ways OF removing lice
from fowls is - make them do il them
selves :, having lot OF dry earth
where they can dust themselves when
ever they feel like il.
The comb is always an index to the
condition of the bird. When the comb
is white or very pale or very black,
something is wrong A healthy fowl
shows a bright scarlet color in the
comb

SALISBURY,S RETIREMENT.
Apparently No Ground for Resurrection
 OfOld Rumor.

London, Aug 30.-Chiefy owing to the lack of all interesting news the Pall Mall Gazette's announcement of the ap- preaching retirement of Lord Salisbury attracted considerable attention. The creditancy attached to it was due more to the Pail Mall Gazette's previous feat in foretelling the retirement of the late MT Gladstone than by the inherent probability of to-day's article After careful inquiry. a representative of The Associated Press found there was nothing to justify the prophecy. An official who has been more closely as- sociated with Lord Salisbury than any one else for over thirty years said:
 q have not heard single word from Lord Salisbury or his friends to justify this latest resurrection of the retire ment rumor It is true Lord Salisbury is getting very old, but he Is now reiev- ed of the bulk of the dull foreign affairs which were formerly so trying. I don't thing he is very eager to retire, but what is more to the point I feel certain the party would not allow it, unless age made far greater inroads on his health than it has at present. I think you will see Lord Salisbury premier as long as his health lasts, and a unionist gov ernment is in power. Personally he has no pursuits to which he desires to devote more leisure. Indee, I believe he would feel quite lost without cer- tai namount of statesmanship to occupy his energy"

Paris, Aug, 30.-The Franco-Turkish situation remains stationary. It is un- derstood that the French government will take no active measures to coerce the sultan until after the czar's visit to France is ended, In order that nothing may occur to mar the festivities
 Munir Bey, the Turkish ambassador to France, who is residing in Switzer- land, has made flying trip to Paris to have an interview with M, Con- stans, the French ambassador to Tur- key. He came incognito, in order to avoid being handed his passports. What transpired at the interview is not known, but it is believed it will not lead to a modification of the situation.
 The fete planned in honor of the an- niversary of the accession of Abdul Hamd IT, which 1t was intended to give at the Turkish embassy to-mor- row, has been cancelled. The minister of war, General Andre, withdrew the permission enabling a military orches- tra to participate in the celebration.
