NoN-oFFIcEHoLDING COMMITTEES.
Cambridge (Md.) Era.


THE BALTIMORE COUNTY UNION (Republicanl
seems to favor new arrangement of things
within the party in that county, judging from
its evident endorsement of the platform of the
new organization known as the Young Repub-
licans. Among other needed reforms in the
party management it mentions the following !:
"a nom fflceholding State Central Committee,
and the principle of minority representation
in organization and tickets" In advocating
these demands of the Young Republicans
THE UNION is right and it is a great pity that
more of our Republican journals and promi-
nent men in the party lack the boldness to ex-
press similar sentiments.
The causes which led to the declaration of
the Young Republicans of Baltimore county
were no doubt the office-holdiDg and office
seeking propensity of their central committee.
men, and the determination ofthose in author
ity to crush the ambition of all who would not
wear the yoke of the party bosses. The plan
advocated by THE UNION is excellent but it
will not be approved by the bosses, of course
1t might as well be, however first as last, for
the people in the ranks are tired of halfdozen
men using the organization for the aggran-
dizement of themselves, their relatives and
close personal friends. Better things were
hoped for when our party came into power in
1895, and for time there was some likelihood
of the rank and file having little say but
present appearances indicate that there will be
return to the old policy-"get what you can,
hold what you get, no matter how you get it
or how you hold it, party or no party"
There is not a probability of Republican
success while those who are at the head of our
committees throughout the State are dealing
and dickering for the offices. without even
giving the welfare of the party a passing
thought.
In many of the counties the men comprising
the central committees do not, in any sense of
the word, represent the party. With one
shrewd manipulation selected for the chairman
ship, the remainder are chosen for their trac-
liability, or in other words simply to ratify
the acts of the chairman, who is all powerful,
and whose expressed wish is command to
those who some day hope to be the recipients
of the most gracious favor. This in large
measure is responsible for the present discon-
tent in the party.
We not only need -officeholding COM
mittees. but we need committees composed
Of men who do their own thinking, and who
are in close touch with the people. Men who
place a higher estimate on their ability to
name fourth-class postmaster than they do
on the vital principles of the party, have no
business on committees, for they represent
nothing but purely selfish interests Dorches-
ter is afflicted with the same malady that Bal
timore county is, and we would gladly well
come the kind of committee THE UNION advo-
Gates 1t might save the party in future
battles.

Old Wound Causes Death.


Henry A. Yeager died at his home at Marlin
ton, Pocahontas county, on Friday, from the
effects of wound received in the battle at
Spottsylvania Court House in the spring of
1854 He had always suffered from it, but it is
remarkable that it should have proved fatal
after SO years Mr.. Yeager was a member of
the Mountain Rifles, company raised in Po-
cahontas county, and which belonged to the
Thirty-first Virginia Infantry. Heparticip ated
in every battle fought by his regiment, except
when he was disabled, and received his wound
right at the famous "bloody angle" where
occurred one of the most desperate conflicts
recorded in history.

THERE APPEARS to be general desire on the
part of the sportsmen of Baltimore county to
have the time changed for the beginning of
the hunting season from the 1st of November
to the 18th of October They assert that by
the later date most of the birds have left the
county and are on their way south, thus de-
priving gunners of the sport of hunting them
after they have Matched and obtained their
full growth in this county or in other words,
we raise the birds for sportsmen in other coun-
ties further south to shoot If this be true it
does not seem fair and calls for a remedy. The
matter, by petition and otherwise, will be
properly presented to the members of the Leg

SOME UNsCRUPULoUs relic-hunter, while in
the Senate wing of the Capitol at Washington
few days ago, made an attempt to steel the
hands from valuable onyx clock, but it is
supposed the thief was frightened off before he
could secure them. The Capitol police are
constantly on the lookout for such acts of
vandalism. They recall cases where loose tiles
in the floors have been carried away and some
people have shipped off the corners of valuable
rugs. Some soldiers once broke pieces from
the $4,000 bronze doors of the east entrance
to the rotunda.
