The ACCOMPLISHED Mr.. Page.

Mr. Wm Tyler Page was appointed q page
i, tl,e House OF Representatives when thirteen
years old. He at once mastered the usagss
of the House and before he reached his four
teenth year he was consulted by Speaker
Kiefer before making important rulings.
For twenty-five years he has filled various
positions in the House, file clerk, acting jour-
nal clerk, &C., and is now clerk to the Com
mittee on Accounts. So valuable man was
he. in the House his services have been re-
tanned by Democrats as well as Republicans,
and in addition to his duties as clerk to the
Committee on Accounts, he acts as private
secretary to the two Republican Congressman
from Rhode Island, keeping the august states
men from that ponderous Commonwealth
from all errors and schisms. In his position
as private secretary he perhaps became more
familiar with the political affairs in Rhode
Island than in Maryland, and the wonder is
he was not urged to stand for Congress in the
two districts Of that State. There was no
demand for his nomination by the Republi-
cans of this congressional district. In fact he
was an utter stranger to the people, and few
of the delegates who were forced to vote for
him by command of McComas ever heard OF
him until his name was mentioned in caucus
an hour before the convention assembled.
The delegates, however, did otknow the
great abilities and accomplishments of Mr..
Page They did not know how precoclous
he was rs a child, and of his wonderful at
tainments as man. Since they have learned
that at the age of thirteen he was prompter to
Speaker Of the House of Representatives; that
he was so important a parsonage he accepted
positions for twelve years under Democratic
control of the House; that he is now clerk to
the Committee on Accounts and at the same
time private secretary to both Of the Rhode
Island Congressman, they are dumb with ad-
miration and can find no words to express
their delight that he has been chosen leader
in the congressional contest. They do not
know how to express their qualification at the
wonderful find of Senator McComas, and 81
lence reigns in the Republican party ofthe Sec
ond congressional district. Whether the party
will ever recover from the shock of the dis
covery of the brillancy and ability OF Mr..
Page is doubtful. Baker and Blakeney were
something like other mortals, and their at
tainments could be measured and compre-
hended, but the party has not yet been able
to stand under the glare of the brlliancy OF
Mr.. Page. They can not look up yet. The
splendor of his attainments is too dazzling.

Camalier is Hopeful.

WASHINGTON, Oct. BIB. 81. Camalier,
Democratic candidate for Congress in the
Fifth Maryland district, was at Democratic
headquarters here today and said that, not
withstanding reports to the contrary, his pros
poets of election are good.
II think there is going to be revolution
in politics in Southern Maryland next month, =
he said. 81 am going to win in my district.
1 believe many Republicans in the district will
vote for me to condemn the methods pursued
in taking the census there. Again the trust
question is agitating the people, who are con-
vinced that they cannot reasonably look to the
Republican party for relief. The contest in
my district, therefore, is not an entirely local
affair. 1t is not case like that of Baltimore
city. Republicans are not going to vote the
Republican ticket simply because they are
Republicans. / will get many Republican
votes because the party men are not entirely
satisfied with their candidate and with the
party's principles on the trust question"

The Grave of Free Government

The census of 1900, says the New York
World, stated the number of railroad employ.
ees in the United States at 1,017, 1858.
The total number OF coal mine employees,
in both soft and hard coal mines, is about
100000.
Try and imagine an administration at Wash
ington with over 100000 voters in its EN-
ploy and control. When, with bread and
butter army of that colossal size, would the
people ever be able to turn it out?
National ownership of railroads, mines, tel
egraph lines and the other "public utilities
would, in present civil service conditions, put
free government ''of the people, by the peo-
pie, in its grave, without hope of resurrec.

The Philadelphia Ledger, in speaking of

The Philadelphia Ledger, in speaking of
Judge Pennypacker, the Republican candi-
date for Governor of Pennsylvania, says:
Mr.. Pennypacker has reduced the argument
for his election to a syllogism. The election
of Pattison in 1890 was followed by the cleo
ton of Cleveland in 1892; the election of
Cleveland was followed by the panic of 1898;
therefore, Pattison's election was the cause of
the panic. The obvious corollary is that Pat
tison's election now would cause another pam
ic, which is to be avoided by the election of
Pennypacker. By the same logical rule,
''post hoe, propter hoe, it is demonstrated
that Pattison, having been Governor antece-
IDENTIFY. was the cause of the legislative cor
ruption during Stones administration. A
Judge who applied such system of logic in
his court would reach some remarkable ver-
diets. Whatever the outcome of the present
campaign, it is some relief to know that this
extraordinary logician has retired from the
Bench-or, as he prefers to put it, that ''the
judicial robes have been left hanging in the
City Hall.

Elijah Barnhart, champion corn husker of
York, Adams and Cumberland counties, Pa,
is again out with challenges to all corners.
In IL working days, of 10 hours each, Barn
har: husked 800 shocks, with an average of
80 ears to the bushel, or an aggregate of
1856, 900 ears. In contest with Hartford
county, Md. man Barnhart won stake of
500 by husking q ears in one minute, defeat
ing his opponent by IL ears. Last year Barn
hart won several corn husking contests in
York county and Maryland canning factories.
Eighty and half bushels day is his average
speed when husking green corn.
Contractor O'Toole, of fremont, N. Y,
abandoned his two Government contracts last
week at West Point, one for building the
north wing of the cadet mess, SAL 200, and
the other for the south wing of the cadet hos
pital, $4,000. The work on both contracts
has progressed very slowly, the time for their
completion having elapsed some time ago.
O'Toole's bondsmen, the Fidelity Trust Com :
contract, and has put large force of men at
work. The Quartermaster has also started
his men at work putting in the steam and gas
fixtures.
The total number of persons of foreign
birth or foreign parentage in Chicago is 1874
453. The number of voters in Chicago in
1900 was 5l1, 048, of whom 237, 6SS were ma
tive born and 273,360 of foreign birth. OF
the native white voters 103,674 were of ma
tive parentage and 121, 804 of foreign parent
age Thus it appears that of the 511, 04S vo-
tiers, 395, 1874 are of foreign birth or parentage
and only Ill 1874 of native parentage. The
latter does not include l3,608 negro voters.

Mr.. Cleveland since 1894, when we severely
criticised him.
On Tuesday, however, he talked good
Democratic misunderstanding for a tariff
for revision. Here is what he said
"All of the signs of the times point to a
recognition, far beyond all party lines, OF the
benefits which would accrue to the people by
a readiustment of the tariff, and it would be
worse than folly for the party, under the stress
of any temptation or yielding to any allure
ment, to permit this to be subordinated to OIL
overshadowed by any other ISSUE

have given many of the natives certificates
