DEATH OF BENJAMIN HARRISON.

BENJAMIN Harrison, the twenty
third president of the United States,
died ON Wednesday after an illness of
about one week. It will be remem-
bered that he defeated President
Cleveland in 1888 and in turn was
defeated by the same gentleman in
1892. The Republican party having
left almost all of its old issues in the
next campaign nominated a man
more in accord with their feeling
President Mckinley.
Like other Presidents Mr.. Harrison
was not fully appreciated thoroughly
by the people at large until after his
retirement to private life. Ithas been
said that no true estimate can be
formed ola Chief Executive until after
his term of office has expired. He
was a man ofunblemished character,
marked ability and possessed many
qualities Craftsmanship. While in
office he was in the main in sympathy
with his party but at several i'm
portant periods he showed a spirit of
individual independence of thought
and action. Since his retirement to
private life his party has become a
champion of colonial policy and the
Ex-President has not hesitated to ex-
press his dissent. In the last National
campaign he took no part although
strongly urged to do so by the Re-
publican leaders. He was a gentle
man of the old type, who believed and
was in sympathy with all weak ma
tons in their struggle for independ-
ence. His dying words were pity for
the Beers in their unequal struggle
with the English.

A STRIKING COINCIDENCE.

The Maryland Republican news
papers of the past week all seem to
have the same editorialleader writer.
One article declaring that "the old
Gorman-Rasin ring is again en-
throned at Annapolis" finds place in
all the Republican rural papers ofthe
Western Shore and in some of those
on the Eastern Shore also. In nearly
a dozen county Republican papers
this double shotted gun is fired off.
In the Easter Shoren and othertide-
water counties the Republican papers
have articles, all more or less alike,
opposing the Baltimore sewerage
scheme on the ground that to empty
sewage into the bay would be a death
blow to the oyster interest.-SUN.

is all right, if you are too fat;
and all wrong, if too thin already.
Fat, enough for your habit, is

There are many causes of get

under these two heads: over
work and under-digestion.
Stop over-work, if you can;
but, whether you can or not,
take SCOTS Emulsion of Cod
Liver Oil, to balance yourself
with your work. You can't live
on it-true-but, by it, you
can. There's a limit, however;
you'll pay for it.
SCOTS Emulsion of Cod Liver

awakening to the fact that the soon
er we have a reasonable number OF
improved public highways the more
prosperous our county will be.
This is a matter that every tax
payer of thecounty has an interest in
and should express his opinion. The
County Commissioners, we feel
sure, do not care to do any
thing in advance of public senti-
ment and would appreciate an in
telligent expression from those per-
sons whose servants they are. These
columns stand open at all times for
discussion of this important subject
and we urge our readers to give the
public the benefit of their opinions.
THE ELECTION LAW ASSURED.
The first week of the specialsession
of the Legislature has been one full of
excitement. The Election billpassed
the House of Delegates on Tuesday
by the decisive vote of Sc to %.
Speeches both for and against the
measure were made by the leaders of
the different parties. The feature
of the vote was the detection ofeight
Democrats, notably Pattison ofDor-
chester. His attempt to put his
party in a hole will long be re-
membered both by his constituents
and theState at large. The Census
bill providing for new enumeration
was passed by the same body on
Wednesday, only one Democrat,
Larkin, of Frederick, voting against
it.
In the Senate, where the Democrats
have bare constitutional majority,
several difficulties have been encoun-
tered. The Republicans haveput up a
strong resistance, under the leader
ship of Senator Williams, of this
county. Thelatter, while partisan,
who will not hesitate to advance the
interests of his party in any legiti-
mate way, conducts the fight in
such an open'and fair manner as to
at once win the admiration of his
opponents. Coupled with this, is
the marked ability of leadership.
He is good debater and his fertile
brain has been the origin of many
of the amendments, with which the
bill has been flooded. With certain
defeat staring him in the face he has
resisted the passage of the act inch
by inch until now there is no foothold
left on which to make any further
fight.
The bill passed to e,,third reading
Wednesday night and there is now
but little doubt of it's ultimate enact
ment. At one time it was feared that
one ofthe Democratic Senators would
not be in line, but this is far from the
fact when the vote on each amend
ment is analysed. Maryland is now
assured of a good ballot law and
one that Congressman Mudd with
all his ingenuity cannot twist for
selfish purposes.
The most important matter left,
now that the Census and Ballot legis-
lation is practically settled is pass
a good primary election law. This
county has been demanding it for
sometime but it has heretofore been
impossible to awaken enough public
interest to bring the matter to the
front. The time is now ripe and if
our Legislature loses this opportuni-
ty it may be a long time before
another one will be afforded.

lMfNOTE 1 he IOWN , AHFEANANCE
1t is an open secret that our little
countyseat is expecting somethingin
the way of a mild sort of boom
this coming summer. We have all
the time been aware of the many adj
vantages that the world at large did
not know we possessed but have
labored under the disadvantage of
notpossessing sufficient railroadfacil-
tiles to acquaint the outside people
of our attractivenes. Now happily,
the question of a narrow ugeroad
is thing of the past. We have
good local railway which promises in
the near future to develop into one of
the standard trunk lines of the coun-
try. We expect before long to have
many strangers in our midst, some
of whom doubtless will become
so enamored with the pleasant
surroundings, hospitable people and
the hundred and one little attractions
that we all hold so dear, as to take
up permanent residence with us.
1t has been said that first impress
sions are correct. Even if this may
not be literally true they are often
found to be very lasting; so would it
not be agoodidea every resident
no matter whether he occupy man.
sion or one room cottage, to go to
work to improving the looks of his
premises, A little paint judiciously
applied willwork wonders. Unsightly
fences, a relic of the days when cattle
roamed our streets with the freedom
of denizens of a wilderness, would |
make a better ornament to the wood
pile than the front yard. Our yards
could be beautifed with shrubbery |
and flowers and lawns now barren
with neglect could be madeto blossom
like the rose. There are now many |
places within and near the town,
that show the careful hand of the
owner. Others could be made as
equally attractive with a little care
and attention.
Perhaps too our town fathers, if
they saw this individual attention to
taken by our residents,
would become imbued with the spirit
of improvement and vie with the
holders in the generaleffort
of identifying the town. They de-
serve commendation for the good
work already done and we earnestly
urge them not to falter in the task
they have undertaken. There is yet
much to accomplish and nearly all of
it could be done with theexpenditure
of a small amount of money. They
have already commenced scraping
the streets, which is necessary ifthey
are to be kept clean.
Bel Air is a beautifulplace. Nature
has been kind and all that is neces-
sary to be done is to assist in what
has been so bountifully given us. A
few hours work at opportune times
is all that is necessary to bring about
the cherished goal.
