Republican Retrenchment.

The Republican Administration at Wash
ington is really attempting some retrench-
ment. The Postmaster General has directed
that the place of physician to letter carriers be
abolished in all places of less than 500,00
population, for the reason that there is no need
for their services, and the appointees are u.s.
ualy s'sundown' doctors, with more political
pull than medical skill The saving effected
by the order will be but $4,000 a year, but
any saving by Republican Administration is
so unusual it is worthy of note.
White in the humor of abolishing places,
why not abolish the Presidency. II seems to
be sinecure in the hands of Roosevelt. He
has done little or nothing since Congress ad-
journed for the public good. For two weeks
after the adjournment he was trying to make
capital for his party on the Trust issue. Then
he moved up to Oyster Bay, and from there
he went on stumpng tour for his Admins
ton aud the Republican party. In COLI
sion with trolley car be had leg injured,
but continued his campaign until the injury
became so serious that the surgeons knife was
necessary, and the President was ordered to
take rest. For several weeks he did moth
ing but make an effort to stop the coal strike
because its continuance Was injuring the Re.
publican cause in severa! States.
The Presidents next move was cunning
expedition to Virginia, and then a trip to
Oyster Bay to vote. Now he is on stump
ing tour in the South, in the interest of his
candidacy in 1904.
As Roosevelt conducts the office of Presi.
dency, it really seems that it might be abol-
isbed

ADAM SaOH
Mr. Adam Shower died at the residence of
his SON, DIR. George T. Shower. 421 Roland
Avenue. Baltimore, Md, on the afternoon of
November 10.
Mr. Shower was born February 2, 1916, in
what was then Baltimore county, and engaged
in farming and mercantile pursuits at Man
chester Carroll county. He served as Judge
of the Orphans Court for eight years, Decem-
ber IL, 1871, to December IL, 1879, and re-
moved to Baltimore in 1890. His father was
Capt John Adam Shower, who fought with
Commodore Barney at Bladensburg, served
in the trenches at Baltimore and represented
Baltimore county for many years in the Leg
islature. DR.. Jacob Shower, the first county
clerk of Carroll county, and later member
of Congress, was brother of the deceased.
Mr.. Shower married Mary Ann, eldest
daughter of Rev. Jacob Geiger, of Manches-
eight children-Dr. George T. Shower, 421
Roland avenue; DIR. Edmund A. Shower, 1924
West North avenue; William H. Shower. Man

Coal Strike Commission A Failure.

Serious trouble is ahead for the Anthracite
Coal Strike Commission. as the operators per-
sist in their refusal to have nothing to do with
the union as an organization. The replies of
Messrs. Truesdale, Olyphant and Fowler to
Mr.. Mitchell's formal demands were made
public and all three take firm stand against
recognition of the union in any way whatso-
ever. President Truesdale of the Delaware
and Lackawanna Company goes so far as to
say that his Company 'unequivocally assert
that it will, under no condition, recognize or
enter into any agreement with the association
known as the United Mineworkers of America,
or any branch thereof"
As the Union, as an organization, has sub
mitted demands through Mr.. Mitchell, las presi-
dent, it is highly probable that the union will
insist upon being treated as an organization;
and, as the operators will not enter into any
agreement with the organization, the task of
the Commission will be most difficult, and
may, in large measure, be without result.

President Roosevelt has again shown his
love for the Negro. By changes in the Con-
stitutions of most Southern States the ignor-
ant Negroes have been excluded from voting.
Many white Republicans of the South have
recently undertaken to build up a white Re-
publican party in that section. A year ago
Roosevelt, himself, thought it a proper thing
TO do. He found Senator McLaurin, ofSouth
Carolina, was lot in full accord with the
Democratic party, which party sent him to the.
Senate, aud he selected him to dispense Fed
eral patronage in his State, with that purpose
in view. The plan was to lure Democrats
from their party by Office. and al McLaurin's
suggestion the President gave several good
places to Democrats. This caused a kick by
the white Republicans, and it looked like
more loss than gain to the Republican party.
The Democrats of South Carolina resented
the apostacy of McLaurin, and be was retired
from the Senate and has left the State.
The white Republicans, then, seeing the
Negro vote nov is quite insignificant, and be-
living that the elimation of the Negro entirely
the Republican party would be greatly
strengthened, undertook to build up an ex-
alusively white Republican party. The new
5arty has been termed '.The Lily Whites,
ia derision.
In Alabama Julian H. Bingham, Collector
of Internal Revenue, was leader in the Lily
White movement. Booker I. Washington,
the Negro who dined with the President at
the White House by special invitation, and
other Southern Negroes, generally preachers,
objected to the exclusion of the Negroes from
participation in Republican, party affairs, and
on Monday the President had Collector Bing-
ham removed and appointed Jos. o. Thomp
son in his place. Thompson is said to be
Democrat, but it is not likely that he is.
In dismissing Bingham the President ex-
planned that be would not tolerate distinction
on account Of color.
In this action the President has no doubt
offended the white Republicans of the South,
and if be persists in being the Negro's Champ
ion he will drive every white Republican in
the South into the Democratic ranks.
In announcing his purpose 10 punish al
white Republican Office holders who under
take to exclude Negroes from party councils,
the President has not only again exhibited his
love for the Negro, bat in bringing the Ne
gfJ0s back into the party again has assured
the votes of all the Southern States for him.
self in the next National Republican conven-
tion. Should he win in the next election
Booker T. Washington may be in his Cabinet
and add his wisdom to Cabinet counsels.

Not Mr.. Fink's Fault.
From the Baltimore County Democrat.

From the Baltimore County Democrat.
That Carroll county did not give Demo-
cratic majority cannot be attributed to Mr.
Charles E. Fink, who was Mr. Talbott's op-
ponent in the primaries, as he did all that he
could for the Democratic ticket. Mr.. Fink
accompanied Mr.. Talbot on his campaign
tour of Carroll county and showed that his
disappointment did not make him falter in his
devotion to the Democratic cause.
On this point the ADVOCATE will add that

Congressman E. F. Loud, Republican, of
the fifth California district, was defeated for
reelection by William ]. Wynn, Democrat
and Union Labor candidate. Loud ought to
have been defeated, as all Republican nomi-
nees ought to be, but the manner of his de-
feat is matter to be considered by Congress
and the Postofice Department.
Mr.. Loud has been steady opponent of
the constant and annoying demands of letter.
carriers for increase of salaries, and as chair
man Of the committee on Postoffices and Post
roads he has been able to defeat bills for in
creased pay.
The letter-carriers have national associa-
ton, and at their last meeting they decreed
that Mr.. Loud should be defeated. 1t is true
the Postoffice department called down
the president of the association, and the
work of defeating Mr.. Loud was done
quietly. 1t is likely an investigation would
reveal that the letter carriers raised fund to
be used against Mr.. Loud and that all the
postmen in his district voted against him.
There is civil service rule against Federal
employees being officious in politics. and here
is a fragrant violation of the rule All Re-
publican officials are more or less active in
politics, but as their money and activity is
used against Democrats, no action to stop it
is ever taken, except the sending out of mean
ingless circulars, calling attention to the rule.
Now, however, that the ofSciousness of
one branch of employees has been used TO re-
tire Congressman of the same political faith
as the Administration, it is probable some
investigation may take place. Mr.. Loud will
still be in Congress at the session commenc-
ing on the first Monday in December. and it
is hoped he will inaugurate an inquiry into
the action of the letter. carriers. If it be
proved that they were active against him aud
contributed money to encompass his defeat
he can introduce a measure in Congress that
will require the immediate dismissal of all
who were active in the election, or contributed
money to carry on the campaign against him.
And the measure should be broad enough to
cover all Federal employees oficious in poll
lies and SO mandatory as to dismissal that no
Cabinet officer can ignore it.
Persons in public office should not be de-
MED political rights or privileges, but notable
activity is offensive to the people. In the
case of the letter carriers against Mr.. Loud,
their action is a fragrant violation of the civil
service rules. The people demand economy
in expenses, not increased salaries, and this
attempt of the letter carriers TO punish a rep
resentative of the people in Congress, because
be opposes their demands, is an attempt to
coerce the law making power OF the govern
meut and the practice Of pernicious politics.
Let Mr.. Loud inaugurate an investigation.
The people will be with him.

REV. JOHN W. EVANS.

Rev. John w. Evans local minister of the
Church of God, died at his home, near Pa
tapsco, on Saturday night, November 8, aged
about 40 years, and was one Of the best known
clergymen in that section of this county.
Eight years ago one Of his lungs was entirely
removed by a surgical operation. at Johns
Hopkins Hospital, Baltimore. 1t was taken
out through an incision made in the side,
which never healed, and required dressing
once or twice every day. Notwithstanding
this nirmity, he pursued his calling actively
and diligently, and his death WIS caused by
rheumatism and other complications due to
cold taken while he was conducting woods
meeting in Adams county, Pa, in August last.
Mr.. Evans was very popular with all classes
of people Young people were especially at
tached to him, and he married more couples
during the period of his ministry than any
other clergyman in this county. During his
last illness, and when he was unable to raise
his head from his pillow, be was still urged TO
perform the nuptial service. He leaves a
widow, three young daughters and one little
son.
