full yoke This gentlemen is fighting
for that which he believes is right.
1t means conflict with the bosses of
the legislature and they are trying to
belittle him. The henchmen and
parrots throughout the. State sneer
at Mr.. Straus but he still continues to
speak the truth.
The testimony he gives concerning
the shameful condition is not parti-
san. 1t comes from the Democratic
camp. 1t is the utterance of one who
has tried to do right, and has felt the
teeth of the corrupt monster known
as the German Ring The people
should realize a vast work is before
them to save the State from that
crowd. The fight TO do so is going on
and every good citizen should aid the
Republicans in the struggle.
Mr.. Straus is doing it and what cit
izen of character would not prefer to
have the record of Mr.. Straus has
rather than one of the Sinking, fawn-
ing, CONSCIOUSNESS men who do the
bidding of Vandiver, Smith and
others without protest.

SLED In COLLISION.
Serious Accident to a Coasting Party at
Cumberland.

Serious Accident to Coasting Party at
Cumberland.
A dozen young people were badly
injured while coasting on great
eastern" on the Oldtown road, South
Cumberland, Monday night by col
liding with two-horse team. Word
reached town that three were dying
and a corps of physicians was sent to
the scene. Miss May johnson is in a
critical condition, having had her
thigh broken, rib broken and head
and eye seriously injured, while Miss
Sadie Shannon may not recover from
an injury to her head, it being feared
her skull is fractured. Miss Mamie
Beck had her skull fractured and
chin badly cut. Miss Johnson was
removed to the hospital.
The others injured were Miss Hes
ter Hager, ankle sprained; Miss Mag
gle Mahaney, head badly cut; Miss
Flora Mahaney, head cut and eye in
jured; Taylor Mahaney, arm broken;
Charles McCracken, nose broken and
face badly cut and eye sight probably
destroyed. He had only one good
eye. Allen Holiday, cut about the
eye; Harry Groves and several others
were also badly hurt.
Those wounded were on great
EASTERN which was in the lead of
two other sleds. The team had taken
the wrong side of the road. The
horses were knocked down and the
wagon partially wrecked. The spokes
of the wheels were broken as if they
were pipe-stems.
The second sled in attempting to
steer around the wreck upset and
some of the coasters fell on the injured
The third sled safely cleared the
wreck, running into Gay street. The
snow was despatched with the blood
of the injured and their shrieks and
groans were heartrending.
Drs. Edwin B. Claybrook, George
L. Broadup, Thomas B. Mcdonald,
Thomas w. Koon and Henry Wales
rendered them assistance. Arch AL
len, driver, and another colored man
in the wagon with him were unin-
iured.

Homecoming, Md, Jan. 31.-Rey. T.
J. Stanton, for the last 10 years pas
tor of st. Mary's Roman Catholic
church at Homecoming. has been call
ed to the passionate of st. Joseph's
church at Baltimore by Cardinal
Gibbons.
Rev. Stanton was formerly assist
ant pastor of st. Patrick church of
Cumberland, going to Homecoming
from the latter place.
Rev. Father White, of Baltimore,
will succeed Rev. Stanton.
Rev. Father Stanton was born in
Oakland, about 40 years ago, where
his father, sisters and brother now
reside. His mother died about 2
years ago. He is an orator of note
and a writer of history. He wrote
the history of the Catholic churches
in Western Maryland about one year
ago. parts of which are familiar to
the older citizens of Allegany county.
The news of his departure has spread
sadness over his congregation, who
will regret his departure very much.
He was not only popular with the
people of his own congregation, but
with the citizens in general, who US
ually called upon him to address the
public on special occasion. Rev.
Stanton will preach his farewell SER
mon Sunday next at 1890 O'Clock
mass.
He has been for years an apostle of
temperance among the miners of AL
legany and Garrett counties, and is
known as the Apostle of the Allie
ganies." He is man of remarkable
qualities, and is well beloved by the
men who go down in the mines to dig
the "dusky diamonds" He has re-
built many of the parishes in the
mining regions.
Since putting the above in type
Father Stanton received a telegram
from Cardinal Gibbons granting his
request to remain at Homecoming.

THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 6, 1902.
A LEGISLATIVE NUISANCE.

Indications are that the number of
insignificant, uncalled-for bills-bills
that never will be passed, or, at least,
never ought to be passed-fathered
by cranks, crooks and self-seekers-
will be greater at this years session
of the Legislature than ever before.
Meetings of the Legislature nowadays
seem to be divided into two periods
a first half, which members devote to
organization and getting ready to
work, and second half, in which they
fight frantically to keep their heads
above water and save their own par
ticular bills out of the flood that
threatens to swamp everything. Mem
bers should exercise some discretion
in this connection. Of course, they
should be ready to offer and urge
such measures as really and properly
subserve the interests of their county
or district, even in small matters.
That is one of the purposes for which
they are sent to Annapolis. But to
take up the crankish or worn
out claim of every crossroads resi-
dent and waste the time of the Legis-
lature with it merely to oblige con-
stituent or to give the impression of
industry is an abuse of the privilege.
In the interest of really necessary
measures, which are surely always of
sufficient Importance to require all
the time and thought that can be
given to them, it ought to be stopped.

LOTS OE ROOM LEFT.

In his message to the Maryland
Legislature Governor Smith used
these words: with the means at
hand to properly set forth the ad-
vantages of our State to the immi-
grants who land at our ports, it is be-
lieved that many Industrious and
thrifty people would gladly settle
here rather than incur the expense of
a long journey to the West, besides
encouraging emigration from other
States to Marylsnd. Other States,
more alive to the Importance of secur-
ing desirable immigrants, with ad-
vantages to offer inferior to ours, by
the exercise of greater diligence and
the expenditure of more money far
outstrip us in attracting settlers"
At the meetingsof the State Bureau
of immigration on Monday mention
was made of letter received from
the proprietor of large silk mill in
Switzerland who contemplates the es-
Establishment of a branch in this coun-
try, and who asked what inducements
Maryland could offer. The secretary
reported that several similar inquir-
les had been received in the past year
from firms in Germany, but, owing to
the very limited means at it's disposal,
it was impossible for the bureau to
give them the proper attention, es-
pecially since other States and large
cities, in connection with railway
companies, use every effort to capture
such big concerns for themselves.
So the question narrows itself down
to this: Does Maryland want new
settlers enough to pay the expense of
getting them? Does it want such fac
tories enough to offer special induce
ments for their establishment? The
answer to both these questions should
be yes. The work cannot be done
without money, and the bureau can
not get money unless the legislature
gives it. With very small annual
appropriation the bureau has been
able to do something, but that some
thing is very little compared with
what might have been accomplished
had it been well supplied with funds.
Those emigrants and settlers from
the West who have made their homes
in Maryland are well satisfied, but
there is room for more. These and
hundreds-yes, thousands of fine
places in the State which need re-
stocking with vigorous, strong, in
dustrious and thrifty people. These
may be gotten if the State will make
the effort.

GOOD ROADS.

In most of its distinctive features
the Roman Empire has long since
been swept away by the ever restless
waves of change incident to human
life. Yet some of its teachings are still
traceable in the machinery both of
Church and State. In many respects
these old Romans were a most remark
able people, although, with all their
iron constitution and steel nerves,
they lacked the more delicate express
sions of art and lighter culture of the
Greeks. In conquering the World
how masterful were the old Romans
in the application of the ever strong
lever of common sense.
In building up to her proud posi-
ton, as Mistress of the World, their
Queen City of Rome, how wise in con-
ceiving, how quick in applying, how
lavish in expenditures upon their
good roads, running in directions and
all centering upon their great en-
porium of commerce and power.
Nothing seems to have built up the
empire so rapidly as their network of
fine roads, save perhaps the indomni-
table spirit of their people
What the United States requires to-
day is not so much the extension of
territory abroad as the good roads so
essential fn tho IaxynIa,N
ment of her present broadacreage of
American soil at home. Railroads are
important, but good country roads,
above the reach of frost and rain
with their mud, are essential to those
railroads. Maryland is strikingly in
need of them and no part of the State
more so than our own county of Gar
rett.
The honest, well-informed public
servant is often obliged, in his fidelity
to a public trust, to anticipate the
futures needs by wisdom in present
acts. The Hon. Alexander Shepherd
in his wise, though temporary unpop-
ular administration of his important
office in Washington city, forcibly H.
Illustrates what is here meant. In the
various improvement of the streets of
the city and the great thoroughfares
which lead into it from the country,
he spent great deal of money. While
not enriching himself, wretchedly
misunderstood, he became for the
time being very unpopular.
To build up his private fortune he
went to Mexico. Some years after
wards returning to the city of Wash
ington, then becoming, as it is now,
the most beautiful capital city in the
world, he was lionized as public
benefactor and was given an ovation
as the guest of the city. In its won
derful improvement, along the lines
which he inaugurated, the city could
well afford thus to welcome her wise
and devoted son.
The making of good roads requires
an outlay of money, to the unthink-
ing out of proportion to real present
needs and future healthful growth.
The need of good roads among us is
palpably apparent. There is a gem
eral awakening all over the land upon
this subject. Now is a propitious
time to take healthful action in
matter so important.

275,b7, Exclusively of Sc hOOl
Collections.
A statement issued by the executive
committee of the Maryland Mckinley
Memorial Association shows that up
to Saturday at noon contributions
aggregating $6,275.57 had been re-
ceived. This amount is exclusive of
that realized from the school collec-
tions. The committee stated that
the contributions made by the school
children have far exceeded expecta-
tions, and that the work of counting
the money received had been turned
over TO two local trust companies. 1t
was further stated that the commit
tee did not expect to be able to give
a detailed statement of money from
the children until the middle of Feb
ruary. OF the 10 schools in Balti-
more, 80 have made returns, leaves 20
yet to be heard from.
1t was estimated Saturday that
about one-third of the sum expected
to be realized in Maryland had al
ready been subscribed The amount
to to be raised in Maryland is $4,000,
and this the committee expects to
have in hand by February %, on
which date the National Association
desires to close the fund.
Contributions from a number of the
county schools were received at head
