Obituary..

Deliah Elizabeth, the beloved wife
of Elijah Howell, died at her home
near Beckman, Nd, on March 81,
aged 81 years and 3 months.
The deceased whose maiden name
was Wilt, was born in this section in
1910 and lived with her parents until
she was joined in the holy bonds of
wedlock with her husband. The mar
ried life was one OF domestic and they
mutually shared each others joys and
sorrows for 40 years. Mrs. Howell
was genuine type of a Maryland
lady. Uniform courtesy marked her
treatment of all with whom she came
in contact, and her home was a place
which both young and old loved to
visit, for there was bounteous Chris
tian hospitality ever to be enjoyed.
For many years her house has been a
home for Inherent preachers and
many who read these lines will feel
the loss of one, who was indeed a
mother of Israel, and the SAVIOR of
such life cannot be lost in its infiu-
ence upon the home and the comlnun-
ity.
She leaves a husband, two sons and
seven daughters to mourn their loss.
In her the poor had friend who ever
freely contributed to their wants and
whose value to all was priceless above
rubies. She opened her mouth in
wisdom and her tongue was the law
of kindness. She looked well to the
work of her household, the heart of
her husband trusted her and she
done him good all the days of her
| life.
The funeral services took place at
the NJ. E. church, from which place
her body was laid to rest in the fam
lily graveyard to await the resurrec-
ton of the just, and now that she is
gone, her children rise up and call
her blessed. May they all be ready
when their time comes and meet her
on that evergreen shore where we
will never say good bye. Farewell,
| for while, dear mother.
! ... A FRIEND.

Not a Party, But a Machine.

The Democratic party has reached
that period in its history in which
there are wide differences of opinion
regarding its principles. 1t is very
easy to understand the reasons for
this perplexity. The party has ex-
perimented so frequently with such a
multiplicity of fantastic notions that
the masses have forgotten its basic
doctrines. 1t now seems to be party
of expediency. The old-time stall
wart courage which expressed itself
in clear-cut doctrines during the days
of its triumphs seems to have been
succeeded by a policy of contradic-
tions, with its train of ridiculous fail
ures. The old leaders of the party,
representing the brain and conserva-
tism of the Democracy, hold to one
set of principles, while the wild, So
cialistic element adhered to others.
According to the successes or defeats
of each respective faction, SO do the
doctrines of the party swing to and
fro.
1t is not at all strange that a pa rty
thus constituted should forfeit the
confidence of the people at large. The
masses are well supplied with sound,
common sense. They know that
party unable to decide what it's own
principles are is very poor party to
undertake important public func-
tions. They know that a party which
is one thing today and another thing
tomorrow will be vacillating in both
state and national policies. Strong
craftsmanship cannot be exercised
where the dominant party is torn
asunder by contending factions,
whose chief ambition is to control the
organization, rather than to promote
the interests of the people at large.
When q party reaches that point
where its main energies are consumed
in interorganic quarrels that party
is on the verge of political death.
When party possesses a real, live,
aggressive principle the presence of
that principle will prove the rallying
point for harmony. When it is lack
ing in such a principle, then is it that
the politicians of the organization ex-
plot their little fads in order to gain
their own ascendency. The absence
of any principle is bound to become
the breeder of many abominabla polit-
zeal practices. When party is def
Gent in wise, public policies it has re-
course to trickeries in order to main
tain its power. 1t degenerates into
mere machine for securing of public
spoils.
The confessions of the Democratic
leaders themselves tell us that they
are divided in opinion on what the
party represents. The actions of the
party in this and in other States prove
the logical sequence to such condi-
ton. Being without the cohesive
force of solid principle, they are hav-
ing recourse to subterfuge and politi-
cal strategy in order to gain and hold
power. Against them, however, is
arrayed an ardent and animated
party, aggressive in it's attitude and
mustered under the Republican ban
ner, which banner has a distinctive
and well recognized meaning for good.

The County Levy.

We publish to day the annual levy
made by the Board of County Com
missioners for 1901. Compared with
former years the Commissioners have
made record which they can truly
be proud of. Every item of public
expense has been literally provided
for and this at a reduction in the rate
of two cents ON the $100.
The schools and road appropria-
tions have not been pared down, but,
on the contrary, an additional levy
of $4,000 has been made for the use of
the School Board to enable that body
to erect school buildings in various
portions of the county where such
Improvements and conyeniences are
necessary.
The Board has received we'll de-
served praise for their labors, which
under all circumstances are arduous.

The Republican Policy.

There is a difference between the
two political parties. The Republi-
cans do want to govern the markets
of the world, and to reign over the
distribution of the worlds bread and
meat, securing in this way work at
home for every honest laborer, mark
cts for the products of our farms, and
becoming such a factor in the world
that will compel peace and justice
among the nations of the earth. 1t is
the policy which will hasten that
blessed time promised by the prophet
of old when the sword shall be beat
en- into plow-shares and the spear in
to pruning hooks. 1t is the Rspubli
can policy.

NeWspaper Frauds.

"Non-partisan' papers, edited by
partisans, are the most patent hum
bugs of the age. In commenting up
on public matters they start out non
partisan, but wind up partisan. They
are simply frauds. A partisan paper
is the more to be admired. 1t sacra-
fees patronage for principle. 1t is
more honest, for it does not play for
both sides, and does not pretend to
be anything than partisan. There is
nothing antagonistic to honesty in
being partisan, and there is every in
ducement to dishonesty in being non
partisan or independent. The most
despicable object is partisan who
pretends to conduct a non-partisan
or Independent paper, and then by
his acts endorses every principle and
policy which his party espouses.-

Mexican View of a Baltimore Host.


From the Monterey Ne1CS of far
away Monterey, Mexico, comes the
following about well-known Balti-
morean and Baltimore hostely,
whose fame has extended thither:
Maj. N. S. Hill, the manager of
the Carrollton Hotel of Baltimore,
Md, is putting that world-famous
old house in superb shape and is max
ing it deseryedly popular.
Major Hill is one of the few natur-
al hotel men, who by their affable
manners and consideration for their
guests make them feel at home and
that each is the guest of honor dur
ing his stay at the Carrollton.
Baltimore is known all over the
civilized world as the home of cpl
cures. 1t is a city whose geographi-
cal position on the beautiful Chesa-
peake bay makes it the central mar
ket for those delicacies which have
made it famous, and which delight
the palate of the good liver. Nowhere
can such fish, oysters and terrapin be
found as those served in Baltimore
and at the Carrollton.
Major Hill IS also the manager of
the Merchants Club of Baltimore,
that ultra-select organization upon
whose roster of membership are found
names of men living and dead who
are world famous, and the same ex-
cellent service and attention given to
the members of the Merchants Club
are received by the guests of the Car
rollton Hotel.'

Mechanism Rings the Bell.

The large engines which occasion
ally haul the passenger trains on the
Baltimore g. Ohio railroad are equip
ped with an ingenious automatic bell
ringing device. 1t is operated by
compressed air, and does the work
well. On some occasions when the
engines stop at the station the bell
keeps on ringing. The mechanism
which operates the swing of the bell
is very small and hardly noticeable.
Bystanders are often curious to know
what the fireman means by keeping
up such noise, but when they come
to find out he is not doing it.

The State Council Held Its Annual Meeting
Here This Week.
Tuesday and yesterday Oakland
had as her guests about two hundred
members of the Junior Order United
American Mechanics who came here
from every portion of the State to
meet in annual session. The repre-
sentatives of the various lodges of the
State are as fine looking body of men
as one would desire to see. They
were well behaved and acted decor
ously during their stay with us.
The sessions were held in the opera
house with State Councillor Heller
presiding. An address of welcome on
Tuesday was delivered on the part of
the citizens of Oakland by Cashier
Scott T. Jones, and on behalf of the
local lodge by Mr.. Julius G. Rem
ninger. Mr.. A. S. Weaver responded.
The annual report of the State
Treasurer showed the finances of the
order to be in a healthy condition and
that the membership on Decemb er
81, 1900, numbered 1868.
Tuesday morning the State officers
for the er 'uing year were elected as
follows:
State Councilor-L. c. Webster.
State Vice-Councilor-H.B.Ge ddes.
State Secretary-Charles S. Davis.
State Assistant Secretary-W. E.
Harden.
State Treasurer-W. l.. James.
State William Hunter.
State Warden-C. H. Nelson.
State Inside Sentinel-Isaac Smith.
State Outside Sentinel-C.J. Young.
State CHAPLAIN. H. Phelps.
National Representative - G. A.
Rumpf.
The next State Council will be held
at Annapolis in April, 1902.
Attorney Julius c. Renninger, who
represented the local lodge last year
and who secured the meeting this
year for Oakland, has been highly
praised for his services in bringing
such a crowd to Oakland.
