SENATOR GORMAN'S BOOM
KS May Give Maryland an Honor 1t Has
Never Had.
Baltimore American.

Baltimore American.
As the Democracy RECEIVERS from its at
tack of Organism and begins to settle down
10 preparations for the campaign of 1904
it becomes more and more apparent that
Hen. Arthur Pue German, of Maryland,
will De a formidable candidate for the
presidential nomination in that year.
1t has never fallen to the lot of Mary
land to give a presidential candidate to
either of the two great parties, and the
State can hardly fail to look upon the favor
with which she is now being considered
by the Democrats without experiencing
sense of distinction. How far this sense
will 60 in determining Mr. Germans fate
should he be nominated cannot now be
estimated. Maryland has in recent years
been transformed from a solidly Demo
cratic State into an uncel tain quantity ID
the political equation, with the chances
in favor of the Republicans. Add to this
the fact that opposition to Mr.. German is
probably more pronounced among the
people OF bis own State than it is in any
other portion OF the Union and it becomes
apparent that while the Democrats may
come to Maryland for their presidential
candidate for 1904 it is by no means GER
tain that Maryland eau be relied upon to
help out that party when it comes to the
work of winning victory.
In point of fact, Maryland has profted
immensely by reason of Republican as.
tendency. She even now shows a decided
for Republican administration
and, in common with other portions of the
country, she shows no desire for a change,
even though change might elevate to the
Presidency one of her own sons.

SEVERER STYLES COMING.
The Rage for Elaborate Modes May
Give Place to Those More
Plain.

Strong contrasts in fabric and color
are characteristic of the seasons
fashions. Black tones up white and
light tints, white lightens black and
dark shades, while fur and lace, velvet
and chiffon, heavy cloths and airy tbs
sues afford countless effective combi-
nations. Just dow, the woman who
looks we'll in brown is having a cos
tune of that color made, says fash
ion authority.
In spite of elaborate designs and
trimmings there is hint in the air
of severer style to come. With the
decadence of the craze for fappy col
lars there is tendency to return to
the tailor7mades of eight or nine years
ago. Seasons of softer and more dis
tinctly feminine fashions have taught
the tailor many lessons, and with the
return of the tight-ftting bodice and
position back ? decided improvement
is manifest. The man modiste has
learned that justice can be done to his
beautifully cut garments even though
arms and chest are free enough to be
comfortable.
The most popular skirt is box plait-
ed and just touches the ground all

element at the openings, and although
many Of them are yet absurdly short,
it is probable that they will get long

An American Mans Party.

Chicago Inter Ocean" (Rep).
The failure of the Republican party in
the Southern States in the '70s was due
chiefly to the fact that many of its local
leaders tried to make it black mans
party-or at least gave it the semblance of
an organization of more or less ignorant
black men against the intelligence and
property of the community. The "lilly
white" movement is an equal blunder in
the opposite direction. In Alabama it has
attempted to exclude even intelligent and
property black men from politics.
As such it is ant-Republican movement
and can nave no sympathy from the Presi-
dent or any other thinking Republican.
For the Republican party is neither a
white mans nor black mans, nor the
rich mans nor the poor mans party. 1t
is what its real leaders have ever made it
all over the country, and what the Presi'
dent is trying to make it in the South
just an American man's party, thoroughly
American in every sense of the word, be-
cause it is, without discrimination of race,
color, religion or material condition, for
the upright American man.

A Timely Suggestion.

This is the season of the year when the
prudent and careful housewife replenishes
her supply of Chamberlain's Cough Rene
dy. 1t is certain to be needed before the
winter is over, and results are much more
prompt and satisfactory when it is kept at
hand and given as soon as the cold is con-
tracted and before it has become settled
in the system. In almost every instance
a severe cold may be warded off by taking
this remedy freely as soon as the first in
dication of the cold appears. There is no
danger in giving it to children for it con-
tains no harmful substance. 1t is pleasant
to take both adults and children like it.

The Young Evergreen Waste.
Philadelphia Press.

Philadelphia Press.
A timely protest against the wholesale
destruction of evergreens at Christmas
time is made by "Arboriculture" maya.
zine published in the interest of forestry
culture. 1t says: 1--WE are are cutting of
the grown forests at wholesale to make
lumber and paper stock, and at the same
time, are at the other end destroying the
young growth that would otherwise replace
them in part"
There is too much ground, it is to be
feared, for this protest. In cases where
the young spruce is supplied by nurseries
no fault can be found. 1t is raised for the
purpose of furnishing Christmas trees and
decorations, and in cutting it no harm is
done to forestry. 1t is in the cutting of
young spruce from forests and hillsides,
where, if left, they would grow in time in
to thrifty trees that the damage is done.
The land is denuded, the bare soil is left
to be washed away by the rain and the
forestry reserve is steadily encroached
upon. The damage done in sthis way is
not temporary; 1t is permanent.
There is no prettier custom than decor
ating homes and churches with evergreens
at Christmas time. 1t adds a charm to
the season which cannot be gained in any
other way. But to obtain this it ought
not to be necessary to deprive the next
generation of its forestry resource. And |
this is surely being done in the reckless
cutting away of young spruce at this season
of the year. An effectual check can be
put upon the practice by requiring every
vender of Christmas trees to prove that
the trees he offers for sale were raised for
the purpose and not cut from forest lands,
Prompt efforts in this way should be taken.

AT LAST THE TRUTH
Two Fishing Yarns That Carry Con"
Yiction Upon First Re-
lation,

They had been speaking of fishing ex-
periences in the New Orleans Times
Democrat. They had just returned
from the Florida coast and each had
his own peculiar tale to tell. "The fun
NEST experience ever had in my life
while out fishing" said one Of the
group, was during my recent trip and
it happened In one of the more noted
fishing places in Florida waters. I
was alone. suppose if had not been
alone the thing would not have hap
pened at all, and yet If l had had COM
panion with me would have drowned,
no doubt, because the boat I was In
was barely sufficient to save the Life
Of one man. 1 struck a good nest Of
fish, and began to pull them out as
fast as 1 could bait my hook and get
it in the water. 1 became so absorbed
in the work that took no notice Of
time, forgot my surroundings, forgot
everything except the fish was contin-
ually piling into the boat. Well, sir,
do you know simply kept piling the
fish into the boat until the weight car
ried me, fish, boat and all, to the bot
tom, all my fish got away and came
near drowning before could get out.
The liberated fish were so thick they
came near smothering me to death be-
fore 1 could get back to the surface Of
the water"
Quoth the next man; That's moth,
ing. don't doubt the story at all be-
cause of the extraordinary thing that
happened to me and friend of mine in
Florida waters a few weeks ago. We
struck the same kind of luck. Inever
saw so many fish in my life. We simply
piled them in one after another, forgot
each other, forgot the world, forgot
everything except the fish. We simply
tshed until our arms ached. Our boats
were filed with fish. They were piled
up until we could not see each other
and could not see the water out Of
which we were pulling the fish. Final
ly from behind pile of fish my friend
yelled, Suppose we pull out, old man.
1 assented. But we couldn't bulge. On
examination we found that we were
aground. Our boats were resting in
six inches of water. We had pulled so
many fish out of the place that the
water had fallen three feet, and, by
the way, it was just about this time
that the report was sent out from
that the water in the Gulf
of Mexico had fallen three feet, but, Of
course"
The other fishermen had fallen
asleep and the Veracity club adj

THURSDAY, DECEMBER IS, 1902.
No SOCIAL EQUALITY.

We frequently hear persons expressing
the opinion thar the negroes are anxious
to have what is called social equality
This, In our opinion, il a mistake. There
aye, no doubt, many colored people who
desire to possess and, enjoy political and
civil equality; but social equality is thing
that only the most ignorant even dream of.
Certain alarmists, for political purposes,
frequently try to excite the white people
into the belief that in the future the social
equality question may be dangerous one.
This course is pursued,by the alarmists to
preventive negro from securing and...en'
joying bis civil.and political rights.
There Is and never can be. in any coun'
try where there 'is:organized government
such thing as social equality, 1t can
only obtain where human, 'beings are
found, if such place exists on earth, in
state of nature, without organized govern
ment and in condition of absolute bar
barism. With any kind of organized gov
eminent there is always found classes, and
consequently social distinctions. Even
where people are all of the same race this
is true.
The social equality which is SO much
discussed, and used as bugaboO for polit
ical effect, is that kind of equality which
is descriptive OF intimate companionship
in social circles. The selection of q man'r
companions is with him a matter of indl
vidual choice. He cannot be made by
law or otherwise to associate with any
other man of his own or another race.
The negroes have this right as we'll as the
whites. If white man wants to associate.
with negro there is no way to prevent
him from doing so and if he does not wish
to associate with colored people he cannot
be forced to do it. In these respects the
negro has the same rights and advantages
as the white man.

PASSING OF THE WELL SWEEP
A Continuance Once Familiar in YAM
keeland, Now SuppIanted by
Modern ContrivAnceE.

In the course Of a 20-mile walk along
country roads in southern Connecti-
cut there were seen by visiting New
Yorker recently only two well sweeps,
once as common feature of the land
seape there as windmills are in Hol-
land. There were found a number Of
wells of the ordinary kind with two
buckets at the ends of a rope run
ming on a wheel, and one or two wells
of the windlasS kind, with bucket at
the end of rope wound up on roller
by the turning of crank, but in most
cases the old oaken bucket in what
ever manner it may have been used had
been supplanted by the chain pump,
says the New York Sun.
At one of the wells at which in the
course of this walk the two well
sweeps were encountered there was
found in the well curb a steel spout.
The old-fashioned well spout, it will
be remembered, was of wood, and
commonly SO formed that care had to
be used in pouring the water into it
from the well bucket so as to avoid
wasting it, inside the curb or out. The
steel we'll spout is so shaped that the
well bucket can be emptied all at once
into an ample receptacle inside the
curb without its slopping over, while
the part outside of the curb is so
shaped that the water thus poured in
all runs into the pail set to receive it.
This we'll was therefore, equipped
at once with the most ancient and the
most modern Of we'll contrivances,
namely a we'll sweep, as a means of
lowering and raising bucket, and q
steel spout. But the water from the
well was quite unchanged. Like the
water everywhere found 1t was excel
lent. Man might invent new-fangled
for raising it from the
earth, but nature at least keeps on
doing business in the good old way. In
the same stretch of country one who
had not for some years before visited
It would be struck by the number of
now used there for pump
ng water. He might have become IA
nili1r enough with windmills in the
vest-he would find them now com.

1t will be good news to the mothers OF
small children to learn that Group can be
prevented. The first sign of Group is
hoarseness. A day or two before the at
tack the child becomes hoarse. This is
soon followed by a peculiar rough cough
Give Chamberlain's Cough Remedy freely
as soon as the child becomes hoarse, or
even after the rough cough appears, and
it will dispel all symptoms of Group. In
this way all danger and anxiety may be
avoided. This remedy is used by many
of mothers and has never been
known to fail. 1t is, in fact, the only
remedy that can always be depended upon
and that is pleasant and safe to take. For
