A Remarkable Statement.

In an address to the Methodist preach
ers, in New York city, last week, Rev..
Dr. L. B. Bates, of Boston, made some
remarkable statements. ''There are 600
churches in New England closed up to-
day." he said, ''and there are 200 in
New York State closed, though once the
Gospel of Jesus Christ was preached in
them 1t is said the old men are dead,
and that the enterprising young men are
going to the cities. That may be true,
but still there are people there who should
have the Word preached to them. Ifthis
thing keeps on there will soon be more
souls in need of salvation in this country
than in China. 1t is said that it is our
rule about amusements that is driving the
young men and women from the Metho-
dist Church; but there are still more young
people in our Church than in any other
denomination would not preach ser
mon against card playing or dancing or
theatre going. But l know that, when the
revival spirit fills the heart, people do not
care for those things. When you lower
your standard to save young people for
Methodism you make mistake. There
is not a heather people in the world that
permits promiscuous dancing. 1t is only
Christian nations that allow it. -

THE DUTY OF THE HOUR.
From tho Rockville Advocate.


The political crisis in Maryland recalls most
wildly the words of Grover Cleveland at a
recent BANQUET in New York-"At this time
of political heedlessness it is well to invoke
the saving grace of a true conservatism. This
is the kind of conservatism that counts the
cost, but for the sake of freedom and princ-
pie disregards the cost; that lays out voyage
by chart and compass and follows chart and
compass to the end; the conservatism OF JUS
tice. of honor, of honesty. of industry, of
frugality, and of contented homes.
This conservatism in Maryland needs 10 be
on the alert and aggressive if it would defeat
the bold Republican scheme OF capturing be-
yond peradventure of future loss control OF
MARYLAND and its destinies; a scheme laid bare
by the glaring and astounding manipulation OF
the Federal census for partisan purposes
scheme which is the natural result OF that Pc
culiar political training which has made IFS
authors ever the advocates of Force bills and
other legislative devices for suppressing the
true sentiment, the safe and patriotic senti-
ment, of Southern communities. Senator Nc
Comas seems to have forgotten the lesson
taught him by the people of Maryland IN the
first section of his political career. The Re
publican leaders in Maryland have reckoned
without their host in counting upon the point
ical indifference of our citizens which disap
pointment and reverses have brought. Public
sentiment with the swiftness which only an
indignant sense of wrong and unfairness can
supply has centred behind the demand for an
extra-session of the Legislature which Cover
nor Smith cannot ignore even u he wouia.
The cIamorings of the Republicans, their
trembling fright and their ready adoption OF a
pious vocabulary cannot defect the Intelligent
people of this State from true understanding

WARRANT FOR EXTRA SESSION.

A good deal OF nonsense is being talked
just now regarding an extra session of the leg
islature. Some people are getting very badly
worked up over something that doesn't exist.
Some great and good refortners are worried
over an alleged scheme of Democrats to dis
franchise the negro. tits not any love for the
negro that causes all this howdedo, and we're
the negroes to vote the Democratic ticket there
would be an unseemly scramble by these re-
formers to have the negro DISTINGUISHED
But there are more important matters for
consideration than mere political juggling
The health of Baltimore is in danger. 1t has
been menaced by unsantary surface drainage
and the cesspool system for years without ac-
ton. The people have awakened to the dan
ger, and there is no better time to act than
now to correct it.
1t is very apparent also. that there has been
some remarkable results obtained in this State
by the census enumerators. The matter should
be taken in hand by the State and either veri-
fed or corrected.

EXTRA SESSION.

from the CeutreFlile fSecoru-
The demand for an extra session of the leg
islatuIe seems to be growing daily throughout
the State in Democratic circles, and at the
same time it is kindling the ire of the Repub
Ecans. The object of the call is two-fold one
to correct the Federal census aud the other TO
change the present Australian ballot, encum-
bered with emblems, to the simple Australian
ballot, without emblems. 1t is notable fact
that the counties of the State which, have in
creased in population sufficiently to increase
their representation in the House of Dele
gates, are all. with one, or possibly two ex
ceptions, Republican counties. II is contended
by those who favor an extra session, unless "a
new census is taken before next fall, under the
provisions of the State Constitution, the Gov
ernor will have to apportion the counties ac-
cording TO the Federal census, which is con
sidered erroneous, hence unfair and doctored
for Republican political supremacy and domi-
nation of the State for years to come.
The change of the present ballot system is
advocated because bribery can be and is prac
ticed more extensively than under any law we
have ever had.

TWO GOOD REASONS FOR EXTRA SESSION

The States to the North and South of Mary
land have restrictions on suffrage. Maryland
is rapidly becoming the Mecca for the South
ern negro who wants to vote above all other
things, and who cannot vote at home, and The
dumping ground and market for the ignorant
and corrupt voter of the North.
The purchasable vote, which is nearly all
ignorant, has grown so large that Maryland is
annually for sale 10 the highest bidder The
next election to be held in Maryland, under
our present law, will be won by The party
which has the most money TO spend for cor
ruption and the purchase of votes.
The extra session is necessary TO stop the
further influx of ignorant and corrupt whites
and negroes into Maryland, and TO prevent
corruption and bribery from overriding and
classifying the.wil of the honest voters of the
State

From the chestertown Transcript.

So far as the Transcript has been able to
learn, the feeling in the party in Kent is largely
in favor of an extra session. A number OF
prominent Democrats were in Chestertown on
Tuesday, and by personal interviews by a
representative of the Transcript, but little d.
vision of sentiment could be found. True,
some opposed the extra session unless 1t be
definitely known that the reforms which the
specisl session has in view can be accom-
plished. The need was generally recognized,
The only point of difference being the question
of expediency, all things considered.

From the Rllicott city Times.

The impression is gaining ground among
members of the Legislature and Democratic
leaders that special session will be called to
meet next month or early in March, and that
it will not continue at work during the full 30
DAYS allowed by the Constitution. In other
words, the General Assembly, if called to-
geiher, will be requested to pass certain i'm
portant measures, among them an amendment
of the ballot law. which will do away with
party emblems and sample ballots and pro-
vide carefully drawn regulations as to resi-
dences of voters, will pass an act enabling
Baltimore city to float loan for general
sewerage system, and probably arrange Tor
new census of the population of Maryland by
the State authorities.

You're It.
From Pittsburg chronicle-TeIegram.

From Pittsburg Chronicle Telegram.
If you're sore
TO the core,
With aching bones,
Aud husky tones
When you speak,
And you're weak
In the knees,
And you sneeze,
And often cough
Your head near off,
And you note
That your throat
Feels quite raw,
And your jaw
Feels as if
You'd got biff,
And dull pains
Vex your brains,
Then you've caught it.
You have got it,
It's the grip.
If you feel
The heat steal
Der your frame
Like flame,
Till you burn
And you yearn
For chunks of ice
At any price,
Then like fash
The shivers dash
From head to feet,
A chill complete,
And you shake,
And you quake,
And there's desire
For fire,
And something hot
Right on the spot
To quickly drink,
And you think
Right there and then
You'll meier be warm again,
Then you've caught it,
You have got it
It's the grip.
It's in the air,
It's everywhere;
The microbe of the grip
Is on another trip,
And up and down,
Through all the town,
By night and day
1t seeks its prey.
And it's the fad
If you are sad,
Or even mad,
Or if you sneeze,
Or cough or wheeze,
Or feel to warm.
Or chills alarm,
To wear look of grim dismay
And hoarsely say
''Fve caught it,
I've got it
It's the grip p

AN EXTRA SESSION.
Some Press Opinions as to the Ne
cessity of an Extra Session of the
Legislature.
IT IS A NECESSITY.
From the Kent News

An extra session is a necessity-at this time.
1t is true that the session OF 1900 should have
acted upon the important matter at hand, but
the people have had more time to think over
it and many of Kents best citizens are urging
an extra session.
The establishment of educational qualifca-
tons for voters in other states is causing many
illiterate to come to Maryland. Some North
ern States have a property as well as an edu-
cational qualification. If Maryland does not
protect herself, it will not be long before our
electorate will be more illiterate than intelli-
gent, and the political party that favors estab-
fishing an educational qualification for voters
will be defeated at the polls. The General
Assembly of Maryland now represents the IN
telligence and property of The State. Let 1t
be called together to protect the Intelligence
and property against the possible triumph OF
ignorance. ].
This measure is endorsed, not because of
any possible partizan advantage, but because
it is right and will do more toward lessealng
the great evil of vote buying than any other
measure proposed. Ii is the iliterates that
sell
We agree with Bros. Vanderford, of the Ad-
voeate, when they say the establishment OF an
educational qualification for voters should
have been coeval with the establishment OF
public schools Some incentive to obtaining
an education should have been held out.
Certainly no one viii now deny that the State
after maintaining public schools for more than
thirty five years, has right to impose upon
her electors an educational qualification; lg.
norance in voters should not be tolerated, and
ignorance will be the rule if the disqualified
iliterates in other states are permitted to vote
in Maryland. Already they are coming to the
State in considerable numbers, and the lnfinx
will increase unless Maryland requires her
voters to be able to read and write. The thou
sands that came to the State last year, will vote
this year. unless denied participation in cleo
lions by an educational qualification

TO CORRECT, NOT CREATE PARTISAN ABUSE.
From the Cecil Democrat


The impression that the proposition to call
a special session of the legislature is simply
for the purpose of gaining partisan advantage,
is erroneous An examination OF the condi-
lions that now prevail will convince the most
skepticaI that there is not only full measure
of justification for the call, but that it should
be made in order to correct certain unfair ait
iustments and dishonest records.
The first question presented is thai OF the
census. By. the returns made by the Repub-
lican enumerators very peculiar and unnat-
ural condition is presented in Maryland;
condition awakening suspicion aud inviting
scrutiny OF the seven counties IN the State
that are credited with an increase IN pnpua.
ton sufficient to entitle them to an additional
member Of the legislature, six are Republican
Five of these counties are in the southern Sec
ton of the State, section far removed from
the trade centres and without a single sugges-
ton as to the probability or even possibility
Of an increase in population.
With the exception of Montgomery these
counties are all solidly Republican ard under
the domination of that Inscriptions pohticIdn
the Hon. Sydney Mudd, and it is fair infer
ence that the census reports from those coun
ties are inaccurate and made for the express
purpose of increasing the Republican repre-
sentation in the next House OF Delegates
which will elect United States Senator.
What is that but use and an abuse OF power
for partisan advantage? And why should II
not be perfectly proper for the Democrats to
call a halt right here to such high handed pro
ceedings?
