At the next State election, on Noyein-

constitutional amendments submitted for
their approval or rejection. The first is
for the purpose of raising the salaries oil

would be granting the people too much
power aud taking it from the Legislature.
But constitutional change to put more
money in the politicians pocket is always
welcomed by that class.

Tax Rate Reduced.

The County Commissioners have
fixed the tax rate for the year at
20 cents on the 500. This is 4
reduction of Is cents as compared
with the rate Of last year.
The levy is a full one in every
particular and includes $35, 600 fol
schools and $4,000 for roads and
bridges. There is a balance oil
81, 900 from the levy of 1900, now
on hand, and all floating indebted
ness fully paid. In addition to
the schools and roads above named
some of the more important items
of the levy are Poor and Insane
$4,000; County Commissioners
Court $4,000; Roads and Bridges,
general, $4,000; Elections $500;
County Buildings $1,000 and Cir,
cult Court Eli, 100. The basis for
county tax is al3,0l1, 091, and for
State tax &il,5lS,232.
The tax levy before an election is
invariably an economical levy. The
year following is almost as sure to
demand an increase.

Farmers League.

The Farmers League of Mary
land was organized in Baltimore
last week by representatives of
agricultural clubs from all parts of
the State. The new League elected
officers and adopted a constitution.
The constitution states as a rea-
son for organizing the league that
lis promoters believe the interests
of agriculture will be advanced,
"First, through friendly discussion
ard practical advice, and by learn.
ing and making public the success
FIJI methods of agriculture that are
found in the different sections of
the State and elsewhere, as well as
by advocating the formation of
sectional clubs and oranges where
such objects are sought; and second,
by taking part in the framing of
laws that affect oar welfare, and an
interest in the appointment of
efficient officers lurtheireXecution.."
The membership of the league is
to consist OF one delegate and one
alternate from each farmers club,
grange, live stock association or
any body based on agriculture in
the State. Amy officer accepting a
political position or nomination for
such position must vacate his Office
in the league. Annual meetings
are to be held in December, al
though special meetings may be
called.
What farmers stand most in need
Of is information On public affairs
which would destroy their party
bigotry. If the league would estab-
| fish bureau of information, a kind
of Cbautauqua, for this purpose, it
would have a far reaching effect for
good.
The injunction placed on mem
bers who accept nominations for
office, indicates that they propose
to hold fast to their fetish worship
of party and let everything else go
if need be. The paramount object
of the league should be to put its
members into the Legislature with
orders to push the interests the
league stands for.

The Force Bill Argument i.

The advocates OF the candidacy OF Mr..
German for the United States Senate are
fond Of referring 10 his course in oppos-
ing the Force Bill. They are right in
doing so, for in his long public career this
is the one definite and specific thing
recorded TO his credit, and the only one
which his friends can hold up as con-
,nendable He did no more than every
other Democratic Senator, and every
Democratic Senator did less than the lit.
lie band Of patriotic Republican Senators
who courageously defied the party whip
and voted with the Democrats TO defeat
the infamous conspiracy of the Republi-
can party to crush the South and perpet-
nate themselves in power
Senator German was put forward by
his Democratic colleagues 10 lead the
opposition 10 the Force Bill, aud, that
opposition having been successful, he was
entitled to the credit which usually fails
10 the leader of any successful movement.
And lie received it. AL! the political sins
he had committed against Democracy
and they were many-were forgotten and
forgiven. His praises were sung through
out the country. Democrats of his own
State Epresented him with a magnificent
silver service, and al the expiration of the
term lie was then serving in the Senate,
he was reelected by the unanimous
action of his party.
If his conduct since the defeat OF the
Force Bill had been equally loyal, patri-
otto and consistent with his record in
connection with that odious measure, 10
doubt he could have remained i'll the
Senate so long as he lived. But "Jeshu.
run waxed fat and kicked" Mr.. Cor
man, like many another man, before and
since, was spoiled by the praises he re
ceived. His guardian angel failed 10
bid him
Danish the canker of ambitious thoughts"
or else the admonition was UNDECIDED
Mr.. German became possessed of the
delusion that he was presidential timber
a delusion which still possesses him, and
which accounts for many OF the blunders
he has since committed
Then followed his break with his party
over the Wilson Tariff Bill, his imperial.
istic and despotic course in 1895. his
straddle platform of 1897, his sore throat
of 1900. and finally, his offensive attitude
of the boss in 1901. Not one act show
ing craftsmanship, not one act worthy of
a great leader not one act evidencing
even ordinary political shrewdness, since
the defeat of the Force Bill. The Force
Bill was ancient history in 1895. II is
more ancient now. 1t was not because
the people were ungrateful that German
was defeated in 1895, but because his
conduct, between the time of the anti
Force Bill victory and 1895, justly mer-
tied defeat.
There is politial graveyard for polit
ical sinners, and, from it, there is no
resurrection. A leader may honorably
retire from public activity, and be called
10 the front again by the people to meet
aud master some party or public emer-
gency. But when the people bury boss,
he never rises.-E1HinSHIa Democrat.
