Letter to NJ. M. AShbV.

Dear Sir: Rockland, Maine, is a sea-
coast town; hard place for paint.
About seventeen years ago, Farrand,
Spear & Co., Rockland, began with
Devoe. Their first sale was to paint
the harrington residence, well known
there.
Mr.. Farrand says the house appears,
from the street, to be well painted
now and has never been repainted.
We should like to know more def
nitely about a job of paint that has
lasted seventeen years on a seaside
house. 1t is the longest time we have
had report on.
Lead and oil lasts three years-a
first-rate job-and nobody says it lasts
longer. We are content to say that
Devoe lead and zinc lasts twice as
long; but we know of houses innum-
cradle, on which our paint has ex-
ceeded six years.
Yours truly,

ciety or a political party, and soon
shows its disgust with those whose
main purpose in life is to blight rath-
err than to benefit.
When Bryan came into prominence
in 1896, he did. without doubt. infuse
a new spirit into the party. He made
it the aggressive factor by giving it
an object to fight for. This result
was attained and is credited to him
as matter entirely aside from the
fanatical and impossible nature of
that object. The fact that he wrought
a revolution is all that is necessary to
the present consideration. The fire
that he started in 1896 burned through
that and succeeding years until 1900;
was, in measure, rekindled then and
is still blazing. For the lighting of
this fire and its maintenance since it
was first lighted, Mr.. Bryan must be
given credit.
But, surely, it does not follow that
because he first applied the torch and
has eyer since been the man behind
the bellows that he is Democracy
only hope. 1t is much easier to light
fire than ii is to put it out after it
gains Roadway. And so it is in this
case. Mr.. Bryan has done the Demo
cratic party a great service by light
ing the fire of this new spirit. But it
must be apparent, even to him, that
as a public torch bearer his useful
ness has ended. He may, OF course,
be able to defeat the election of any
other Democrat in 1904, but should he
do so he will prove himself disloyal to
his party. The happenings of the
past few years and the present state
of things goes to prove individually
that as a fire-starter and a bellows
blower Mr.. Bryan is great success.
Obviously his duty to his party re-
quires that he do all in his power to
keep the fire burning, without OBJ.
truding himself and making it i'm
possible for the fire to be used to any
positive party advantage.

DEMOCRACY'S THREE ISSUES.

Ostensibly the Democracy will have
three issues in the Congressional can
vass of 1902. Some of the leaders,
that is to say, are urging the party to
make fight on trusts, imperialism
and tariff reform. Ex-President
Cleveland favored tariff reform in his
great harmony speech at the Tilden
Club dinner, but nobody has been
able to find that the recommendation
has aroused any enthusiasm, except
among the Democratic enemies of the
ex-Presideht, who cast derision upon
him for his tariff record, as they do
for everything else which he has said
or done. Cleyeland skipped imper-
ialism, but some of the other Demo
crat magnates pretend they want
that for an issue. Trustism, of course,
will come in for assault in the canvas.
On all of these issues the Democ-
racy can be easily beaten. On tariff
reform there is no approach to har-
monY among the Democrats. 1t is
certain that the country is not seek
ing any tariff reform or wants any
tinkering with the tariff in any direc-
ton. On the trust question the Re-
publicans have a far better record
than the Democrats, for the Republi-
cans passed the only antitrust bill
ever enacted by Congress, and the
Republicans enforced that act and
are enforcing it now. The Republi-
cans will be exceedingly glad to see
the Democrats bring the question of
imperialism forward. That is an is
sue on which there are hundreds of
thousands of new votes for the Re-
publican party in the country at
large.
There is no issue in sight on which
the Democrats have the faintest
chance to win. The most disastrous
of all these three issues for the Dem
ocrats would be that of imperialism.
The people of the United States do
not believe that there is any imper-
ialism in the policy which the Roose-
Yelt administration and the Republi-
can party III Congress are pursuing
in the Philippines. That policy is
unquestionably favored by at least
two out of three of the 100000
voters of this country. 1t is a policy
which is to be pursued and which is
to result in greater good for the coun-
try than even that which is foreshad-
owed at the present time. The United
States has made unreasonable adj
vances, socially, industrially and po-
litically, in the five years which have
passed since the Republicans came
into power. On its records since
March 4, 1897, the Republican party
can and will win a grand victory in
1909.

chances are always largely in favor of
the guilty escaping rather than the
innocent being punished. In this
case Mr.. Applegarth's fate would
have been in the hands of political
friends. But instead of standing trial
and establishing his innocence before
twelve of his fellows, he prevails up
on the Governor of the State to usurp
the jurisdiction of the Circuit Court

To say the least of the Governors ac-

THURSDAY, AUGUST Z, 1902.
REPUBLICAN tt KET.
FOR CONGRESS:
GEORGE A. PEARRE,
OF Allegany County.
Mr.. BRYAN IN MARYLAND.

Mr.. William Jennings Bryan, who
has been spending several weeks in
the East, talking politics, playing
ping pong, yachting and enjoying life
in other pleasant ways, came to Mary
land Saturday and added another
speech to the thousands he has made
since he began his political career.
This is by no means Mr.. Bryan's first
visit to the Old Line State. He came
to Maryland in both his campaigns
for the presidency, and asked the peo-
pie to vote for him. This they de-
clined to do. They went in large
numbers to greet him, just as they
would greet any notable stranger who
might pay them visit. They listen
ed to all he had to say, applauded him
for his eloquence and skilful use of his
mother tongue, then they went to the
polls and voted against him. Twice
did Bryan and his supporters make a
hard effort to carry Maryland, and
twice did they fail, though for many
years before his appearance had the
States vote been given 10 his party's
candidates for the highest office in
the land.
While Mr.. Bryan's visit to Maryland
Saturday and his speech at Mountain
Lake Park had no special political
significance, yet this Eastern tour of
of the Western apostle of free silver
gives abundant proof that Bryan
looks forward to third nomination
for the presidency. He has again and
again ridiculed the harmony scheme
of Cleveland and Hill, which he could
plainly see was an effort to read him
out of the Democratic party and turn
what is left of it over to the control of
others. In this view he is right, for
oil and water will mix with far great
er ease than will the political views
of Cleveland and Bryan. The latter
has proved himself a hard man to
down, and though now he has not q
single political issue to present of ma
tional moment, he possesses certain
characteristics and elements of
strength which still give him power
over men and render it possible that
he may again be able to control the
Democratic National Convention.
Bryan is not now dangerous man,
nor will he ever be elected president
of the United States. On that point
the people have spoken twice, and
will speak in the same manner again
should the occasion require. His can
didacy is, therefore. without hope of
success, and of this most of the Dem
ocratic leaders are well convinced.
They know that to nominate him
means to invite defeat; but getting
rid of him is another matter. Having
been the party's standard bearer in
two campaigns he has a right to de-
mand recognition and to refuse to be
shelyed. This he is now doing, and
his Eastern visit is part of his pro-
gram for keeping his name and his
views before his party and before the
public.

DIED OF HIS INJURIES.
Hiram Frantz Was Fatally Hurt Monday
On a Mill at Krug.

Hiram Frantz Was Fatally Hurt Monday
On a Mill at Krug.
Hiram FrantZ, twentY-six years old,
son of William Frantz, of District No.
2, and residing near Markleysburg,
Pa, was injured Monday afternoon
on the mill operated by the Yough
Manor Lumber Company at Krug
and died as a result last night at 1915
o'clock.
The deceased was engaged at the
time of the accident in operating the
gang slab saws when board became
twisted on the saw and broke in two.
One portion of the board, which was
pointed on the end, was thrown back
with terrific force by the saw and
striking Frantz in the stomach it pen
etrated to his spine. As soon as pos
sible surgical aid was summoned and
the man was made as comfortable as
circumstances would allow. Death
resulted, however, from infamma-
| ton.
Mr. Frantz was an intelligent, hard
working and progressive young man.
By profession he was a school teacher
and had been engaged as principal OF
the Bittinger school for the coming
winter.
While the accident resulting in the
! Haotb Of +ba x-ornc, man u n ,,,osE 4
plorable one, it was unavoidable.
The funeral will take place this af-
ternoon at $50 o'clock. Mr.. S. A.
Kendall, president of the Yough
Manor Lumber Co., in conversation
over the telephone with this office
this morning stated that the lumber
company would bear all the expenses
of the funeral.

KNOCKED SENSELESS.


A Family of Four Had just Left Tree
When it Was Struck BY Lightning.
One day last week Francis Pritts
and his family, consisting of his wife
and two children, were out in a field
on the farm when an electrical storm
came up and to protect themselves
from the fury of the rain they sought
shelter under a large chestnut tree
which stood in the field. By some
lucky chance a premonition of pend
ing danger was felt and the man,
woman and children with one accord
left the shelter afforded by the tree
and went out into the open. They
had no sooner got beyond the limbs
of the tree when it was struck by
lightning and all four were thrown
violently to the ground, the shock
rendering them senseless. Mr.. Pritts
was the first to recover and after
struggling to his feet he beheld his
children and wife lying nearby and
still unconscious, the latter pinned to
the ground by large limb which
had been knocked from the tree by
the lightning aud which fell upon
her. In his weakened state the hus-
band exerted all his strength and sue
ceeded in releasing his wife who soon
regained her senses as did also the
two children. None of the family feel
any i'll effects as result of their ex-
perience, but realize their close es-
cape from instant death.

SCHOOL BOARD MEETING.


Miss Rebecca Thayer Awarded a ScholOr-
ship in Western Maryland College.
The Board of County School Com
missioners was in session on Friday
last when a large amount of routine
business was transacted.
Among the most important things
done was the preliminary work look
ing to the erection of six new school
buildings at various points in the
county. The buildings in contem-
plation will be one-room structures
and will be located as follows: Cor
man, in District No. s; Asher Glade,
District No. 2; Nethkin, District No.
IA; Cation, District No. 8; Boucher,
District No. 3, and Mineral Spring,
District No. 5. Besides the new school
houses to be erected the buildings at
Oak Hill and Winding Ridge, in Dis
trict No. 5, will be thoroughly repair
ed and at a considerable cost.
Miss Rebecca Thayer, daughter OF
Mr.. and Mrs. Fred. A. Thayer, was
awarded a scholarship in the West,
ern Maryland College, she having at.
tanned the highest average in an ex.
animation previously held in which
there were five applicants.
The contract for books and school
supplies for the ensuing year was
awarded to the J. w. Bond Company
of Baltimore. The contract amounts
to about $4,000. The books were
bought at a much less figure this
year than formerly, the discount be-
ing 20 per cent, difference of per
cent. over last year.
At the examination of teachers held
during last month at which one hun.
dred and fifty-four applicants fol-
certificates were examined, one hun.
dred and forty-four were awarded.
The schools will open on September
goth for term of six months. The
Teachers Institute will be held some
time in the month of October
during which time the schools of ne,
cessity will be closed.
