MOUNT AIRY ITEMS.
Thieves Abound improvements "A Brake
man Killed, Etc.


Mt. Airy is booming along, and any one
who thinks it is standing still should drop IN
upon us and see the advances that are being
made.
On the 4th instant Clarence Pearre, brake
man on the Philadelphia Division of the B.
& o. r.. R., was killed while on dnty. His
body was brought here on Monday for inter-
ment. He had been with the railroad only a
short time. His funeral took place at Linga-
more church, Frederick county. last Sunday,
Elder Joseph Ellis, of Baltimore, assisted by
Elder B. +. Clarkson and Prof. Wine, of
Union Bridge, officiating. The attendance
was unusually,arge, delegates being present
from number OF lodges of which he was q
member.
A gang of outlaws are holding up persons in
the vicinity of the railroad work. One young
man was halted by this gang and relieved OF a
watch, revolver, his money and, finally com
PEELED to remove and give up his trousers
Others have had money or clothing taken.
A laborer was made to give up large sum of
money. Besides this sort of highway robbery
house breaking has been resorted to in o few
instances. Recently, the house of Mr. John
Sprigg, train dispatcher on the hill, was en-
tered. Mr.. Sprigg has number of railroad
men boarding with him. These men had
watches, cuff buttons and other jewelry stolen,
but fortunately the thieves found no money.
In order to make the crossing of the rail
road safe the Mayor and Council have asked
the railroad officials to put in sub-grade
crossing west of the railroad station under the
big FILL C, NJ. HOLSTER, trainmaster, prom
ised the town authorities that their request
would be favorablyacted upon by the railroad
company. The erection ofsuch costly piece
Of masonry is proof positive that the Baltimore
and Ohio will not remove the tracks from Mt
Airy.
Work on the tunnel is progressing in a very
satisfactory manner. Headings are being
driven from both ends, which are in charge Of
experts. The contractors, d. Fl. Clement Il
Co., are recognized as the leading tunnel con-
tractors of the country and promise to main
tain their usual high standing on this work.
On the line proper there are now six steam
shovels and about 700 men employed.

Some Foreign Notes.

The Chinese government will not submit to
the terms proposed by the Concert of Powers
to wit--the punt ihment of certain princes as
criminals, the razing of the Taku forts, in.
crease of garrisons at foreign legations and
the garrisoning of towns by foreign troops of
towns between Pekin and Taku.

According to dispatches from American
sources the Cubans are not satisfied with their
proposed Constitution, and favor continual
ton of the domination of the United States.
If the Cubans have any hope of independence
they might as well abandon it. They will
have independence and self-government just
SO soon as they will be able to expel United
States soldiers from the island. The McKiu-
lev Administration and the Republican party
never intend that Cuba shall be independent.
They never did so intend when war with
Spain was declared, and the disavowal Of ter
ritorial ACKNOWLEDGEMENT, accompanying the
declaration of war, deceived no one at home
though it may have mislead foreign govern
ments and the Cubans.

A Chicago dispatch of January I, says


when Dewey arrived at Manila the Fill
pinos had conquered the Spaniards every
where in the islands but at Manila. Then
the Filipinos established an independent gov
eminent without any protest from the United
States. Later this independent government
of the Filipinos was assailed. We resisted
this assault and have kept on fighting to retain
our independence.
s'Everything the United States has said it
wanted in the Philippines we are willing to
yield. Coaling stations, ports and harbors it
can have. lIthese things can be provided
for by treaty stipulation. The Filipinos, how
ever, will not give up their independence. If
any promise of future Independence is made
we will lay down our arms and confer with
representatives of the United States.
ssOur Government is intact, and under
present conditions is absolutely capable of
holding its own against any nation. The 81
900, 900 Filipinos are unit in their determi-
nation to retain their independence. They
are homogeneous people, speaking one
language, which has different dialects. but not
as many dialects as will be found in England
Of the semi-civiIized tribes there are about
500, 900 people, including the Sulus, the Cen
trail Mindanaus and the Igorrotes of Northern
Luzon, but they should not be confounded
with the Filipino Government"

1t is noted above that bribery in elections
is crying evil in this state as well as in all
Others and that the purchasable vote is large.
" the illiterate vote. So necessary is the use
of money at elections, according to large
public sentiment in all parties, that candi-
dates are sought who are capable of contrbu-
ting handsomely to campaign funds. If they
are capable, so much the better; but candi-
dates with large bank accounts must be had.
Men of character and capacity are overlooked,
unless they have money to spend in cam
paigns, and public positions are more and
more being monopolized by men of means.
i We are not alluding to Carroll or Maryland,
alone. The same conditions prevail through
out the Union. For United States Senators
and Governors no man is even considered, as
a rule, who is not rated by the hundred thons-
and or million, and if conditions are not al
tered, only multi millionaires will be consid-
cred for these positions.
IF the purchasable vote is largely eliminated
by the imposition Of an educational qualihca-
ton Of some kind for voters, men of moder-
ate means will be able to aspire to public po-
sitions fnot, the plain people. the men of
good hard sense, the men with an interest in
good government, believing in economy in
expenses and fair tax rates, will be entirely
denied participation in affairs OF state.
