The ELECTION in nnitlmnre.

at the baltimore municipal election,
Tuesday, the Republicans elected II
of the "a First Branch City Council
men and four Second Branch Council
men, and received about GO per cent OF
the total vote, their plurality being
2,2o2.
The voting, as far as Democrats were
concerned, the Baltimore Sun says, was
of a free lance character, and this con-
tributed largely to the SUCCESS of the
Republicans. 1t was an open secret
that the Democratic candidates would
he opposed by voters in their own
party. That there was also an ahund
ance of what in political parance is
known as "Knihng' there IL little
doubt. Consequently the result of the
election cannot be said to have been
unexpected. The Republicans, through
Democratic dissensions and the dis
inclination CT voters to be bound by
party ties in an election 10 which the
issues were wholly local, have been able
to turn tile tables on their .poiitical
opponents. 1t remains TO be seen
whether they will use this victory to
wise and good euds, or whether they
will be controlled by tossos and cor

not as large as in previous munioIral
contests, thus Indicating tho existence
of spirit of apathy IN both parties,
more particularly, perhaps, among
Democrats Tho now Ballot law worked

Up to the present time Secretary
Root has succeeded in performing the
responsible duties of his Office in q
manner that has been generally salts.
factory to the country. The situation
that confronted him when he assumed
charge OF the War Department was
trying one and the task he has accom-
plished in restoring the former prestige
Of the Department no patriotic citizen
is disposed to belittle. But he has at
Inst committed himself to policy that
will not be popular.
After an expenditure of upwards Of
$40, 600, 600 in the purchase and equip
ment of large fleet of army transports
and our military transportation system
brought to q state Of perfection not
equaled by that of ans other nation,
it is announced that the government
transport sorvioe, il to, be abandoned
and the work placed in the hands of
private parties. The plea that the
change will result in reduction of
expenses does not appear TO be a good
one. Army officers attached to the
Supply Department OF the service, who
are in a position to be familiar with
the requirements Of military transporta-
tion on the water, point out that the
advantages of speed, safety and i'm
munity from unsanitary diseases exist
ing under the present method, far over
balances the small saving in actual
cost, If it can be shown that the ex-
pense will be really less in the long
run. Many of the transports are
equipped with the latest and most ap.
proved convenienees for the care and
safety of large bodies of men who at
times are compelled 10 remain for weeks
in uucomfortably close quarters, and
it would he difficult to convince an, one
of experience with contract work that
our troops will fare as we'll in the
hands of private steamship comran ies.
The conclusion is Inevitable that
Secretary Root has made blunder.
Whether it is an error OF judR ment OF
weak surrender to political pressure
remains to be seen.

When John G. Armstrong of St.
Georges hundred, Levy Court Comm s.
sioner from the Fifth district, presented
to the Levy Court Tuesday the facts
conceI Mug the condition of Silver Run
Road, he showed himself faithful
servant Of tho people. Believing that
the necessary repairs would cost moIe
than the $500 limit allowed by law for
work given out without competition of
bidders, he very properly presented the
subject to the court. What was his
immediate reward for this proper
action? lie was in effect reproachsd
by President John Lynn for bringing
the subject up OF all, and Mr.. Lynn
took occasion to announce his interpre
tation of that $500 limit az referring
only to new work. That there is also.

says: "That for all work and labor
hereafter required TO be done and all
merchandise, toolp, implements and
machinery to be furnished or had and
used by or for account of the county,
where the cost in any particular case
will probably exceed the sum of five
hundred dollars, the Levy Court Com

give the contract 10 the lowest bidder or

Surely not even the skilful efforts of
the courts attorney, Mr.. Horace Greeley

Thanks to the POINTS raised by Com
missioner Willis, the court did decide
to have Mr.. Armstrong secure bids for
the sheathing and piling needed and to
that extent did not accept Mr.. Lynn's
Interpretation OF the law. But it looks
to US as il the law contemplated that
the bids should be publicly invited by
the whole court and passed upon by
thsm--as Mr.. Willis argued-and not
that one commissioner should secure
the bids and award the contract.
Apart from these considerations, it
does appear that history is repeating
itself in the matter of road building in
the lower pant Of the county. Thousands
and thousands of dollars we're drained
from the Taxpayers on account Of the
road across Augustine Marsh IN times
Fast, and now we have the Silver Run
Road, finished within year at cost

wisdom and absolute necessity Of bust

Willis, is most apparent.
