An INTEKV VIEW WITH GOVERNOR
SMITH,

Governor John Walter Smith in an
interview on Wednesday gave out
some of the reasons that have been
pointed out to him as reasons for call
ing an extra session. He said in part
The question of an extra session il
an important one and | have refrained
from discussing or speaking of it for
publication because l have not yet
concluded what shall do in the mat.
ter. The Constitution places upon me
the full responsibility of issuing the
call.
''In my judgment no mere question
OF party expedency alone would be
sufficient Justification for calling al
extra session. l shall be governed
solely by desire to serve the public
and advance the welfare of the State.
Il have listened carefully to the
reasons urged upon me for making
the call. That there is Il very general
sentiment in favor of it throughout
the State no persons would doubt if |
could show them the many letters re-
ceived by me and could they listen
to the different callers at my office.
Most of my callers and letters urge all
extra session to accomplish either one
or all of these things: To change the
ballot law, to secure State enumer-
alton of citizens and to have an ena-
bling act passed SO that Baltimore
city may begin the construction of
sewerage system.
with reference to the first it is
c1ntended that under the present law
bribery can be and is practiced more
extensively than under any law we
have ever had. That the ballot clerk
and some provisions of the law are
simply used as means to disclose the
way a man votes and makes the buyer
certain of the contamination of his
corrupt transaction is Certain.
'Those favoring change to the
regular Australian ballot contend that
it will do away to great extent with
bribery at elections. They also con
tend that provision should be made
preventing the illiterate voters from
Southern States that have recently
passed laws preventing them voting
from settling in our midst, as they
are said to be doing in large numbers.
with reference TO State census it
is asserted that the enumeration just
made under Federal supervision is
plainly incorrect upon the face of the
returns. That Charles, st. Mary's
and Anne Arundel counties should
have increased so rapidly in popula-
latiou, while such counties ar Hartford,
Cecil and Queen Anue's show a de-
crease, strikes them as singular, Us
does the fact that the population OF
the Southern Maryland counties III
question has increased so much out of
proportion to the registered vote when
compared with other counties of the
The aegis & intelligencer. [volume] (Bel Air, Md.) 1864-1923, 1901-01-25

will urge among other things the
passage of law TO have a new enum-
Grafton of the inhabitants of the
State made at once, so that a correct
of members of the
House of Delegates can be made: an
of the election laws of
the State haviog for its primary OBJ
ject the adoption of Legislation that
will compel the voter to be able to
read and write in order to vote in
diligently, and an amendment to the
Baltimore city charter allowing im-
provements to be made in the sewer
age system. No laws can be acted
upon at this special session unless
specially mentioned in the proclama-
ton calling the body together. 1t
cannot, under the Constitution. re-
main i'll convention for II period ex
ceeding thirty days.
The bill that will probably be in
troduced looking to the reform of the
election laws, will be practically the
same as the measure brought before
that body last winter by Senator
Bryan, of Baltimore city. AS much
interest has been manifested in the
provisions of the proposed law we re-
publish the following article from
The SUn:
The bill prepared for enactment
last winter did not materially change
tie existing election law of 1896 ex-
&c pit in. the form of the ballot No
provision is made in the bill for any
party emblem. All the names OF
candidates are to be placed on the
ballot in one column, except when
there are more than SO names, and
then they are to be arranged in two
columns. The names of candidates
are to be arranged under the designa-
ton of the office for which they are
candidates in alphabetical order ex-
cept Electors for President and Vice
President, These are to be arranged
i'll groups as nominated and the
groups arranged according to the al
phEbetical order of the candidates for
President for whom they stand. To
the left of each name is the designa-
ton of the party which nominated
him and to the right the square for
the cross mark of the voter. Apart
from these the characteristics of the
present ballot, the coupon and the
endorsement are retained. For per-
sons who wish to vote for all the can
didates of one party there is a blank
space in which to write the name of
the party for which one wishes to
vote. There is no provision for aid
ing illiterate voters, but if voter
u axes oath that he is physically I'M
able to mark his ticket, then tie
election officials can mark it for him
according to his direction. The form
of this proposed ballot, it is said, is
similar to that used in Massachusetts
and some other States. The bill does
not undertake to change the qualifi-
cations of voters or in terms 10 dis.
franchise even the iliiterate. All
wonld be free under its provisions to
register who have that right now.
But when they went to vote they
would have 10 get along without any
official aid just as they did before the
Australian ballot law was passed.
The avowed object of the bill, how
ever, is to make it necessary for a per-
son TO be able to read the ticket in
order to vote it according to his
wishes"

DEATH OF QUEEN HICTORLa.

On Wednesday of last week Queeu
Victoria was stricken with parai} sis,
while sojourning at her residence in
the Isle of Wight. She fingered for
nearly u week, most of the time un-
conscious. Everything was done by
experienced physicians to restore her
physical health and prolong her life,
and, though aided by her wonderful
constitution, they were unable to
more than give temporary relief,
until, at last, they and the beloved
o=es who had gathered about her,
could only watch and wait for the
dark shadow OF death to pass over the
cleaning of her life. She peacefully
passed away on Tuesday last, with
the setting of the sun.
Queen Victoria assembled the throne
il 1887, and for nearly Xtyfour years
had reigned rs the most righteous
sovereign that ever ruled the English
nation. Among her own people she
was truly and deservediy beloved. As
a wife, mother and queen, she was b
benediction TO the empire over which
she ruled; she was truly great in good
ness ana good in greatness, and her
death leaves a personal sorrow

NEVADA.

Rhode Island may be the smallest State in the Union, but it produces as hig and as fat turkeys as any State does. It is also full of people, and us population, as compared with the pop uIation of Nevada, is large. Rhode ls- land has 42S,556 folks in it, while Ne yada has only 42,3S5. The census bull letin for Nevada reveals remarkable state of affairs. Although it has an area of more than 100000 square miles, it's population is only 42.335, having de- creased s,42es since 1890. There are only three incorporated towns in the state, and of these two have decreased in numbers in the last ten years. Keno shows a gain from 3,563 to 4,5OO, but Carson City has declined from 5,95o to 2,1OO, and Virginia City from S,511 to 2- 695. There are only five towns or pre- cincts in Nevada with a population or one thousand or more, and seven Of the fourteen counties have fewer inhabl- tants now than they had in 1890.
 And yet Nevada sends two senators to Washington, just as the town of Union in this State sends two represen- tatives to Hartford.

GEORGE M. GRANT.

The death of George M. Grant re- moves one of New Haven's most solid, sturdy and upright sons and citizens. He was man of uncommon strength of mind, purpose and character He had no patience with sham or humbug and was radically honest, thoroughly sensible and straightforward Whatever his hands found to do he did it with his might, and his life was full of well directed industry. His character showed itself in his york; which was of superior excellence and thoroughness, and in New Haven there are several notable monuments to it's fine quality. He was in all ways good citizen, and was wise and efficient in the public places to which he was called. He was devoted to his family, loyal to his friends, faithful to his religious duties. and deeply interested in all that con- cerned the prosperity of his city, State and country. His life was steady, sound and useful and his record is hon. orable and consoling.

ANoTHER MOVEMENT.

While Mrs. Nation is violently pro- noting temperance in Kansas a some what milder form of temperance" work is being carried on in Trenton, New Jer- sey. There as in Kansas, female infiu- ence is doing the work, but in Trenton that influence doesn't find expression through hatchets and bricks. It finds expression in the following pledge: T hereby promise not to keep company with or to marry any man who is not a total abstainer from the use of all in- toxicating liquors, including wine. beer and cider. and I promise to abstain from the same myself" Attached to this pledge is the following commands: Don't marry man to save him.
 What effect this Trenton crusade will have on manners and morals there re- mains to be seen. That it is not intend ed to be more violent than is strictly necessary is indicated by the statement of one of the crusaders, who says that 1t Is not the plan to cut off drinking men from the acquaintance of the cru saders, but if one wants to marry crusader he must sign the pledge and give up drinking. Doubtless there will be much signing of the pledge, and about the same amount of marrying as usual. Perhaps if the Trenton young men feel that they can afford to be at all independent they will demand a prom ise from the young women that they will not marry men to ruin them if they can't marry to save them.

 East and West and North and South She ran with all her might, ! And never did d maddened COW
 Present so fierce a sight! Shame on the Kansas woman | Who sits at home and croonS A lullaby when she might be Demolishing saloons! The bourbon and the lager Are pouring ort amain
 From Franks Buffet and 'George Place." To irrigate the plain; And lnany q costly mirror Is cracked in forty ways. And all her actions are designed To frighten and amaze. Decrepit folk on crutches And laughing maids and men Behold her smash the windows, And cry: "Go In again.!
 She grasps the shameful painting That hangs above the bar And tears It into little bits And scatters them afar.
 And, screaming in her anger, | She spies demljohn. 1 And, as the fearful tiger | Springs on the helpless fawn, She takes it In her clutches | And bites it full of holes! The man who tends the bar and he That owns the institution she Knocks down with bricks and things anc
 Across their covering forms and heaps Her curses on their souls.
 The sheriff hurries forward And bids her cease q space She pulls his ears and tweaks his nose And roughly slaps his face! She riIs the bar to pieces And knocks out all the bungs And, round about. five hundred men Stand with protrudlng tongues.
 She grasps the tall cops whlskers Within her goodly clutch And pulls them from his system 1 And whoops to beat the Dutch!
 Her hands are full of splnters, She feels them not nor cares, But keeps right op proceeding To regulate affairs. And when her work Is ended The men who stand around By which the casks were bound Speed off In all directions
 And thank their lucky stars That they may still get thirsty
 And drink at other bars.
 An, may her muscle ever Bulge till her fight Is won, For oh, 1 wot she'll need a lot Before the job is done! Hurrah for Mrs. Nation Ten thousand times hurrah
 For her who In her good right hand
 Can swing the fearsome hrickbat and Herself become the law --S. E. Riser in Chicago Times Herald.
