Registration.

There will be but two days for registration,
Tuesday, October LIST, and Tuesday, October
9Th. On these days the registration Offices
will be open from 8 o'clock in the morning
until o'clock in the evening.
Persons who have registered in previous
years will not have TO register again, and
young men who will be twenty years OF
age by election day will be entitled to register
ON either of these days.
The amendments to the ballot law, passed
at the extra session of the Legislature made
no change in the matter of registration. Any
person can register as heretofore. No ques-
lions are asked as to whether an applicant for
registration can read or write. Ii the appli-
cant is twenty one years of age, lived ID the
State one year and in the county six months,
and has not been convicted Of crime, is enti-
tied to registration. The amendments to the
ballot law pertain only to the form of the
ballot.
No one can vote unless he is registered, and
we would urge upon the members OF the
County Central Committee and the nominees
for local Offices to look around their neigh
borhoods for unregistered voters and induce
them to have their names placed upon the
registration books next Tuesday. DO not
wait for the second registration day, for
something may happen at that time to prevent
some from registering. The next election is
a most important one-more so than any since
1867. IF the Republicans win they will so
leeislate as to make the State Republican for
MANY wears to come. The bars will be let
down so that non-residents in Washington
City may go into the adjoining counties and
vote, as they did before the election law was
amended. And they will do anything and
everything to make Republican ascendancy
permanent. A party that had the census lists
padded can be trusted to consummate any
sort of political rascality.
We will not now attempt to enumerate the
unlawful acts of the Republican party when
in power in this State from 1861 to 1867 and
from 1896 to 1900 or to lay bare its record,
but we will simply say the party record was
one of oppression, outlawy, extravaganza and
incompetency.
To prevent its return to power should be
the earnest aim and endeavor of every Demo
crat. The first step in this direction is to
have the full party vote registered, and we
urge candidates and party workers to see that
this is done. A full registration and full
vote means victory in November.

Hagerstown bicycle works have received
an order for $4,000 bicycles.
All hope of opening the tin mill at Cumber-
land, this winter has been abandoned, as the
works have been closed and all the pigs ship

Owing to the fact that a number of persons
have been released from the House of Correc-
ton on habeas corpus proceedings on defec-
tive commitments by the Circuit Court, the
Frederick County, "Reminiscences have decided
to resist payment of the bills of the justices OF
the peace who committed these people, and
also the bills of the constables. The Com
missioners have discovered that some justices
of the peace along the B. & 0. r. X. have
been doing regular Gland Office business in
committing tramps to the House OF Correction
for riding free on the B. & o. cars. These
commitments are all finally at the expense of
the tax payers. 1t usually costs the county $25
per head for each person sent 10 the prison. The
large number committed from Brunswick in
the past few years has aroused much comment
among the Commissioners, and one of them
said they were determined to break up the

The sublime elimination of the art of train
ing is marvelously shown in the equestrian
performance executed by sixty three thor
oughbreds under the guidance of D. 81. Dock
rill, Americas most famous equine educator,
appearing with the Walter l.. Main Circus at
Westminster, Friday, October 4th. The act
introduces the finest specimens of American
and Arabian thoroughbred horses, executing
the most complicated maneuvres with an in
telligence nothing short of marvellous. Moth
ing like it either for magnitude, originality or
charm has ever been seen in circus ring.
1t is positively wonderful display of such
downright novelty, out and out originality,
unrivalled magnihcence and thrilling interest
as to blot out forever all previous animal ex-
hibitions. There are rings within rings; plat
forms upon platforms; in and upon all of which
horses perform concurrently and simultane-
ously; moving in five circles, in opposite d.
rections. This feature alone is said to be
worth more than the price of admission, and
is but one of the hundred astounding numbers
on the fascinating program. The show lot is
on John and Carroll streets.

Sale of the w. M. R. R.

The sale of the Western Maryland Railroad
is again being agitated, and the continual ag-
itation of the matter hampers the management
in operating the road. SO long as sale is
talked of so long are betterments and extern
sions postponed.
In discussing the subject of a sale the BATH
more San of Monday last very forcibly lays
before the citizens of Baltimore the following
important facts:
In the discussions which we have had the price
to be paid for the property seems to have been
considered the most important element Ehls
is wrong. The chief matter to be considered
is the trade of Baltimore, which may be just
now passing through a crisis. A railroad com
many controlled by citizens of rival city has
aeouired possession or control of nearly every
mile of railroad in the State of Maryland and
most of the steamboat lines plying to Balti-
more. Almost every avenue OF trade leading
to the city is under that control, the Western
MARYLAND among the railroads being about the
only exception. 1t has absolute control OF
the harbor and all the terminal facilities, and
the export and import trade is as much in the
power ofthat corporation as the transporta-
ton TO the city from North, East, Sonth and
West. The Sun directed attention some time
ago to the fact that there was discrimination
against this city and in favor OF Philadelphia
in the matter of the freight on coal for export
and that our export trade OF coal was in conse-
quence slipping away from us. A small discrim-
ination in rates on grain and our grain trade
would leave us for port nearer the ocean.
An advance in the local rates on coal might
cripple our factories 1t is not likely that
anything of the kind will be done. But there
is no guaranty that il will not be done. 1t
might at some future time prove advantageous
to the corporation referred to to transfer the
business of Baltimore to Philadelphia. When
that time comes it will be done. There will
be no restraining sentiment.
The only argument advanced in favor of a
sale is that the proceeds could be applied in
retiring the bonds of the road and thus relieve
Baltimore city of taxation to meet interest.
As the road is meeting its obligations the ar
gument fails. And even it did not, the bur-
den would be but a small consideration in
view of the immense trade the road carries to
the city. 1t would be worse than folly fol-
the city to sell the road. As the Sun Re-
marks. the Western Maryland Railroad is the
only artery of trade left in the hands of Mary
landers. Should it pass to the control, with
its valuable franchises, of friends of riva
city, Baltimore's trade will be still be more
crippled.

Historic Bell Cracked.

The historic bell in St. Johns Protestant
Episcopal Church, on North Beaver street,
York, Pa, cracked when Sexton Householder
started to toll it Thursday, September 49,,
1901, in memory of President Nc Kinley.
The bell was sent to this country by sister
of George III in IVA and for 20 years hung
in the old Courthouse in Center Square, where
the Continental Congress assembled after it
had been driven from Philadelphia. The bell
pealed to the tidings of the signing of the
Declaration of Independence in 1776, and
after the demolition of the old Courthouse in
1843 the bell was removed to the belfry of
st. Johns Protestant Episcopal Church.

Czolgosz Convicted.

Leon F. Czolgosz was placed on trial at
Buffalo Monday on the charge Of the murder
of President Mckinley. He pleaded guilty,
though his counsel would not admit the plea.
The jury was sworn and the trial proceeded
rapidly. The fact was developed by DR..
Mynters testimony that the bullet in the
Presidents body was not definitely located
after death because the family objected to
luther laceration. On Tuesday the assassin
was convicted of murder in the first degree,
and on Thursday he was sentenced to be cleo
troeuted on October %.
