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 O'Clock in the morning
until o clock in the evening.
Persons who have registered in previous
wears will not have to register again, and
Young men who will be twenty-one years OF
oge Inv 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 qneS-
tons are asked as to whether an applicant Tor
REGISTRATION can read or write II the appIl-
cant is twenty-omc years Of age, lived IN the
State one year and in the county SIX months,
and has not been convicted OF CRIME, IS ehti-
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 '"e
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

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 80 than any since
1867. If the Republicans win they will SO
legisIate as TO make the State Republican for
many wears to come. The bars will be let
down so that mon-residents iii 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. party that had the census lists
pad,,ed can be trusted to consummate any
sort of political rasca!ity.
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 S record WAS
one of oppression, outlawy, extravaganza and
incompetency.
To prevent its return to power should be
the earnest aim and endcavor 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.

Mr.. B. F. Grouse.

The Advocate cannot allow the retirement
Of Mr.. B. F. Grouse from the Craftsmanship
of the Democratic County Central Committee
to pass without tribute to his work in that
position. He became chairman in 1885, and
held the place continuously, except for two
years, up to last Monday. During all these
fourteen years he wai ever watchiul of party
interests. and gave several months each year
to active work and contributed literally of his
means for campaign purposes.
II ability as a leader is shown in the uni
form success OF the tickets. With the narrow
Democratic majority in the county it required
excellent judgment and tact to keep the party
united, and these Mr.. Grouse has shown to
an eminent degree.
The position of Chairman is "A trying one.
1t requires patience and forbearance, as well
as skill in manas rment, and "A federation of
criticism, for no matter how able is the man
agement disappointments occur and adverse
comments follow.
Mr.. Grouse has been weary of the place for
several years, and it is with feelings Of relief
that he retireS, and with feelings Of pleasure
that he is to be succeeded by 50 acceptable a

very many OF The Committee to continue, and
could have had almost IA unanimous re-eec

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 a sale Is
talked of so long are betterments and cXten-
sions postponed.
In discussing the subject of a sale the Batl-
more San of Monday last very iorclbly 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. lhlS
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
pany controlled by citizens OF rival city has
acquired possession or control OF nearly every
mile of railroad in the State OF Maryland and
most of the steamboat lines plying to Balu-
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 much in the
power of that corporation the tranSporta-
ton to the city from North, East, South 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 III conse-
quence slipping away from us. a small dlscrlm-
nation 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
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 small consideration in
view of the immense trade the road carries to
the city. 1t would be worse than folly for
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 a rival
city, Baltimore's trade will be still be more
crippled.
