CHANDLERS TR UST REMEDY.

CHANDELIERS TRU ST REMEDY.
Commenting on ex Senator Chambers re-
cent denuncation of trusts, the Boston Post
says:
"The weakness OF Mr.. Chambers radical
program is found in the fact that 1t proposes
TO have the entire work of trust smashing
done by the Republican party.
"Let us see the Republicans of New Jer.
sey make the start by electing Legislature
pledged to the repeal of Mr.. Morgan's Steel
Trust charter, as Mr.. Chandler says they
ought To do, and we shall have some faith
in his program for the Republican Congress
Until that beginning is made we prefer the
Democratic plan of placing all trust prod.
ucts on the free list and thus knocking out
the prop which the Republican tariff has
placed under the trusts.
at may be mentioned that Mr.. Chandler
sustained and voted in the United States
Senate for the DingleY tariff that has made
possible the huge combinations of wealth
in the form OF corporations which he now
denounces for their attempt TO revoutionlze
the laws of production and commerce by
abolishing competition, by expressing con-
sumers and laborers, by making the rich
enormously richer, while the poor stand still
in their poverty"

THE STATE CAMPAIGN.

Chairman Vandiver, of the Democratic
a call for meeting Of the county chairmen
OF the State Central Committee for Septem.
Der Sd, at Democratic headquarters in Bal.
timore.
The purpose of the meeting is to map out
the campaign in the counties and TO con.
slider conditions. BY the time named the
leaders will have settled upon certain de.
tails that are now unsettled and the policy
To be pursued will have been determined.
1t is also expected that at this meeting it
will be decided just what committee will
conduct the city campaign, and instructions
will he given TO the various chairmen as TO
the lines on which they are To concentrate
their efforts.
Chairman Vandiver spent Tuesday at
headquarters, receiving numerous callers
and and answering a vouminous mail.
That the Democrats are thoroughly in earn
est in this campaign and determined to win
is shown by the thoroughness with which
the preliminary work is being done.
Headquarters is kept in close touch with
every part of the State and the managers
are confident of the result. Mr.. Vandiver
says Every report we get is a good one,
and the party never was in better shape
We are going to win this fight. Everything
points TO victory, and there is no serious
trouble anywhere. l believe we will carry
the entire Eastern Shore, with St. Mary's
and Calvert counties. Anne Arundel and
Dorchester are practically certain, and
think the Democratic majority in Hartford
will be a surprise"

A MEETING IS CALLED
TO NAME A BOARD,
City Assessors Will Be Chosen This
Morning.
SPECIAL MEETING OF COUNCIL.
Will Dispose Of This and Other I'm
portant Matters-MaY Order Elec-
ton to Fill Vacancy Now Existing
On the Aldermanic Board.

Mayor Fielder returned yesterday
from Florida where he has been So
journing at White Springs for two
weeks, and having been mnch improv-
ed by his stay there Will take up the
municipal re1ns today with renewed
energy.
A special meeting of council will be
convened this morning.
One of the most important matters
demanding attention is The selection
of board of three assessors who will
pass upon the returns of property for
taxation, as made already.
Some time since Messrs. II. E. AL
len, O. A. Fricker and Fl. L. Mize
were named as assessors by the coun-
Gil, but since that time two of these
gentlemen have found it impossible to
serve, hence the necessity for another
election,
The selection of others must be
made without delay,
The time for paying taxes is near at
hand, butthis cannot be done in all
cases until the returns made are thor
oughly canvassed.
Many properties, no doubt, have
been returned at less than their true
value, and it will be the duty of the
assessors to inquire into all such cases
and raise the valuation if, in their
opinion, it is now too low.
Then, too, the resignation of Alder
man J. E. Cameron may also be acted
upon, or else allowed to go over until
next meeting if there is not time this
morning to give it consideration.
There has not been @ meeting of
council in more than two weeks, and
other important matters may be
brought up at the special session
today. For lack of a quorum no meet
ing could be held on Monday night
last.

THE TOURIST HATH RETURNED
And Ananias Hath Lost His Re-
putation Thereby.

Behold, the evil days draw nigh even
IN Americas.
When the man who hath been to
Hot-spot-by-the-sea or to Rock-point-
on-the-mount appeareth in our midst.
Yea, verify, the man that hath been
away for the summer cometh back.
And great is his conversation.
He taketh you by the buttonhoIe of
your garment and standeth you over
against the WALL
And sayeth; 'Behold would fain
tell thee all about my trip"
He warmeth up to his work, and
! goeth on to tell how he hath climbed
mountains that were in height even
as the sky.
He voweth that he hath shot the
behemoth in his native lair.
And slew the leYiathan with hook
but that it got away just when 1t came
unto the top of the water;
He holdeth you against the wall W lille
he goeth into raptures because that he
hath bIuffed hotel clerk;
He Yoweth that he made the mash
upon heiresses who have more money
than the Klondike turneth out1n year.
He sayeth that he fseIeth like new
man, and asketh you to feel of his
muscles.
And to tap upon his chest.
Yea, surely, all this and more doth be
do.
But look apon him and see that he
hath sunburn upon his face and
blisters upon his neck.
And that the mosquitoes have eaten
copiously of him,
And that the thorns and the briars
have rent his skin.
And ask of him if he be not glad to
set back.
Then he will say unto thee
''Surely [ am glad with an exceed
ing great gIadness, for, confidentialIy,
old man, Ihave returned unto my home
with my fnan ces busted with an ex
ceeding great burst.
Sand it would make me merry of
heart and serene of soul if thou wilt
lend me 20 sheckels until the ghost
walketh once again.
Now, when he sayeth this unto thee,
rise IN thy might and say unto him:
"Cert. I will let thee have the
sheckels provided thou tellest me no
more about thy trip.
Now, consider also the woman who
hath been away for a season.
How she cometh back and telleth
that her blue chiffon was lost in the
baggage car.
And her pink silk was torn from
Dan to Beersheba by a brute who
knew not that his feet were made to
walk upon.
And that her purple tulIe was stalA-
ed with the Juice of the lemon so that
it is worse than remnant at a rum
mage sale.
But that dear old papa will give un.
to her check to get more glad gar
ments.
And that she hath become engaged
unto two Earls and a Duke and
common person with much money.
And who are these, that we talk of
this morning?
Go to: seek them in the marts of
Cotton avenue, and among those who
dwell upon the streets call Lee, Col
Iege, and likewise Taylor.
