GOVERNORS PROCLAMATION.

Governor Smith has issued proc
lamation, suggesting that on Wednes-
day, January 80, the first birthday of
William Mckinley, late President of
the United States, occurring since his
assassination, the people of Maryland
unite with the people of other States
in making contribution to the fund
being raised by the National Mckinley
Memorial Association for the erection
of an appropriate monument over his
grave at Canton, Ohio, as national
memorial to him and an expression of
the patriotic esteem of the people of
the United States.
The proclamation recites that the
Mckinley Memorial Association of the
State of Maryland has been organized
to receive contributions and to aid
the National Mckinley Memorial AS
ISOLATION in accomplishing this wor-
thy object, and Governor Smith con-
curing in the suggestion of the Gov
ernor of Ohio, and acting in concert
with the Governors of other States,
and believing the most fitting celebra-
ton of his birth at this time is to
further his work of love, suggests that
the people join in the movement, and
especially that the children observe
the day at the public schools and be
given an opportunity to contribute,
and the pastors of churches are in
vited to inform their congregations
of the movement and receive dona-
tions for it on the Sunday proceeding
Mckinley Day."
The Governor says it is not intend
ed that the day shall be observed as
a holiday, but that the people shall
do honor to the memory of their late
beloved President by appropriate
exercises.

Frozen Fish Come to Life.

Henry Swauger, of Garrett county,
Md, was in town last week, and while
here he related something very re-
markable. Mr.. Swauger has large
fish dam which he has stocked with
carp and other varieties of the finny
tribe, and he also has a water trough
in which several yellow carp are kept.
The water in the trough sometimes
freezes solid from surface to bottom.
and Mr.. Swauger says the carp in it
are sometimes frozen solid and rigid
in the ice for several weeks. The
strange part of the story is that when
the ice melts, the fish come to life
again and begin to swim about as
lively as ever.-Salisbury Star.

GORMAN'S ELECTION FIGURES.

The reelection of Arthur Pue Cor
man to the Unsted States Senate by
the Legislature of Maryland is hailed
by the Democratic newspapers as a
personal victory for Mr.. German and
as an indication that the work of re-
uniting and rehabilitating the Demo
cratic party is proceeding successful
ly. Such a conclusion seems to be
justified by superficial view of the
situation, but a closer view shows
that this is only delusion.
The question as to whether Mr..
German achieved anything more than
a technical triumph in his recent cleo
ton to the Senate depends upon an
analysis of the vote cast for the mem
bers of the Legislature which elected
him. A majority in a Legislature
does not always mean a majority on
the popular vote. A correspondent
of the Baltimore Neaos has been in
investigating the vote cast for the
members of the Legislature in Mary
land last November, and he finds that
the Democrats were in a minority in
the State according to this test.
Taking the highest vote cast in each
county for a Republican and Demo-
cratic Legislative candidate, it found
that the total vote cast in the State
for Republican Legislative candi-
dates was 9S, 1856, and the total Demo
cratic vote was "a, 235, or Republi-
can plurality of 4051. Again, taking
the average vote cast in each county
for Republican and Democratic can
didates for the Legislature, it is found
that the former received 94,927 votes
and the latter 91,607 votes, or Re-
publican plurality of 1920 in the
State.
Judged by either of these tests, Mr.
German was in a minority. 1t was
known that he was to be the Demo-
cratic candidate for election to the
Senate in case the Democrats obtain
ed a majority in the Legislature He
was, in fact, the only Democratic can
didate before the people, and conse-
quently the vote for members of the

SEVEN PERISH IN LUMBER CAMP.
A Fire Near Hambleton, w. Va, DESTROYS
Otter Creek Boom and Lumber
Company's Property.

A Fire Near Hambleton, w. Va, DESTROYS
Otter Creek Boom and Lumber
Company's Property.
News reached Oakland yesterday
morning conveying the intelligence
of fearful holocaust which occurred
Tuesday morning at an early hour at
Camp No. of the Otter Creek Boom
and Lumber Company, near Handle
ton, West Va, by which seven lum-
bermen met their death. The fire
took place in the boarding house of
the camp and before the men could
escape they persisted. Other employees
of the company are missing and it is
feared that other bodies may be dis
covered when the debris is cleared
away. The Otter Creek company
has number of camps in the woods
and about twenty miles of narrow
gauge railroad. A large number of
men have been employed in the camps
for several years.
Camp No. is about thirteen miles
from the main line of the West Vir-
GINA Central Railway and details are
meagre, but it is known that seven
charred bodies have been taken from
the ruins and that a number were in
jured by jumping from the windows
of the building.

Legislature was test of his strength
and popularity There is another
way of testing Mr.. Germans socalled
victory The highest vote cast for
candidate on the Democratic State
ticket last November was sc, AT. The
highest vote cast for Democratic Leg
islative candidates at the same cleo
ton was "a, 235, or 2242 less. So Mr..
German, as the only avowed Demo
cratic candidate for the United States
Senate, was weaker on the popular
vote than the State ticket of his par
ty. If the average vote for Legisla-
tive candidates is taken as a test, Mr..
Germans weakness is still more APP
parent.
According to this analysis, Mr.. Cor
mans victory is seen to be only a
technical one. And when it is re-
membered that even this technical
victory was gained by the pass age of
an election law which was intended
to and did disfranchise thousands of
Republicans, an accurate measure of
Mr.. Germans so-called victory can
be gained.-Philadelphia Press.

THURSDAY, JANUARY %, 1902.

OAKLAND people are feeling very
well satisfied over the status of the
matter of selecting permanent camp
site. They have been assured that
no selection will be made until the
site at Oakland has been inspected.
This being true they feel that they
have landed the plum. The services
of the Senators from this State and
Maryland as we'll as those of the mem
bers of the House have been enlisted
in the effort to make the proper rep
resentations to the war department
on the subject and it is felt that some
thing good may come of it all.-Mor-

bossism on the part of our political
leaders and by too many people who
have held conspicuous offices in the
party (whose names / will not give in
this issue) associating themselves
openly with the lobby in passing and
defeating legislation, not only with
corporations, but with charitable in
situations, such as the Sheppard and
Enoch Pratt Hospital, until this fact
has become a stencil in the nostrils of
the majority of the Democracy of
Maryland.
The tendency of political leaders,
in order to acquire the necessary
funds to conduct elections, to bargain
and deal with corporations for legis-
lation-rather than contribute from
their own resources to crafty their
personal ambitions-has brought
both political parties in Maryland to
such a low ebb that a very large per-
centage of the people do not hesitate
to express their disgust and contempt
for such methods.
IF the press of the State and city
would handle the question from a
sense of duty to the people, regard
less of whose political ambitions they
hampered, it would be greatly to the
advantage of the people at large and
encourage and stimulate the best cit
izens of the State to take more act
i've interest in political parties with
whom they have affiliated.
THE Democratic party in Mary
land has, in my Judgment reached
the fork of the road, and it is for the
people to determine as to the future
"A continuation of past conditions
will lead to certain defeat.
"A change of conditions. with a
united effort for better methods and
honest elections, free from bossism,
will place Maryland permanently
among the Democratic States by such
a majority as would forever take it
out of the doubtful column.
Each individual must determine
for himself which road he will take.
Il shall oppose, as far as in my pow
er lies, any and all efforts to tamper
with the purity of our elections in
conformity with the statutes of the
State and against trick ballots, polit-
zeal jugglery and bossism in any form
and will not support any candidates
who wear the collar of ownership of
any political boss
