SOCIALISM APPEARS to be showing some
growth in this country. In 1900 the national
vote was 126,445. This year it was some
thing over 100000. In the Presidential cleo
ton of 1892 Socialism made its first bid for
national political support in this country. Its
candidate, Simon Wing, of Massachusetts, re-
ceived q, 164 votes.
Mr.. WIN. r. HEARST the young New York
newspaper millionaire who was elected to Con-
gress on the 4th instant by the Democrats, is
being much talked of as the possible nominee
of his party for the Presidency in 1904. Mr..
Hearst is the owner of five daily newspapers,

of securing two others. In many respects he
is very remarkable young man.
A HIGHLY sensational story comes from New
York TO the effect that on anarchist woman in
Paterson, N. j., has disclosed plot TO assassi-
nate President Roosevelt. She has become
converted to Christianity, she says, and this
led her to make the confession. The woman
asserts that the plan was made in Paterson
just after the murder of President Mckinley,
and says a young French anarchist had been
selected to do the deed.

Justice has returned
In THE death of Judge Edward taKe' OF
Hagerstown' which occurred suddeyi ny AZ ms
nome IN the city, on Sunday nigh - i"s'' ,ne
bench and bar of Maryland has. sustained
serious loss. He was a oI nlgn character'

He was an earnest Republican and stood SO
high with alp classes in Washington county

Judge Stake was 57years ofage and a bachelor.
Episcopal Conference in session at Richmond,
Va, Bishop Duncan, speaking to class of
young preachers. used some very strong Ian
guage and warned them against things ordi-
nary, tedious sermons and long prayers, and
especially against aping others. He not only
told them what to be, but also what not
to be. While one of ministers was telling of
the additions to his church the Bishop sud-
denly asked him whether he admitted people
before they professed conversion. The young
man replied that he did not. The Bishop said
it was WELL for too much of this sort of thing
is going on, he added.
On TUESDAY last ex-Judge Daniel R. Magru-
der, of Anne Arundel county, filed suit in
the Circuit Court at Annapolis against Alton
r.. Arnold and twenty-five other members of
the late grand jury of that county. The suit
is for $4,000 damages for libel, and alleges
that in their report they made statement
greatly injurious to him, in that they stated
that his sworn charges of malfeasance and
misfeasance and nonfeasance in office against
States Attorney Daniel r. Randall we're with
out the slightest foundation. Judge Magruder
declares that they thus charge him with hav-
if their charge is true, they should have in
dicted him for perjury. He says that such
statements are as libelous, coming from a
grand jury, as from any one set of persons,
and that this is the only course he can take to
protect himself. This suit is remarkable in
that it is, perhaps, the first of the kind ever
brought in Maryland.
FIFTEEN coNsUMPrIvE patients in Indiana
have agreed to make trial of the "open air
cure'' by sleeping all winter out Of doors. As
the experiment-by no means novel one-is
made under supervision of the Board of
Health, good medical advice is doubtless
available to the Spartan band In that case
most of them should recover The surest way
to give consumption to savage tribes, among
whom it is unknown, is to teach them how to
build alright houses. The best way to cure
civilized men of consumption is to get them
out of their air-tight houses. Most business
men and many laborers in the metropolis
spend eight hours day, six days week cooped
in offices or factories in over breathed, germ
laden air. The journey home is made in close
ly-packed cars. The evenings spent in ill
ventilated apartments, in sitting theatres, in
malodorous saloons, in over heated restaurants
Thus men become anaemic. Many are actu-
ally killed by the want of fresh air. The great
prerequisite to the cure of consumption can
not be too often stated. There is life in pure
air, good nutrition and long-continued rest
COMMENTING EDIToRIALLY upon the death OF
Judge Edward Stake, of Washington county,
the Baltimore SIN said Judge Stake was
man of bright intellect and retentiye memory
His nature was sympathetic, and he was uni
formly the friend and advocate of men in the
humber walks of life who toll necessarily for
a livelihood This sympathy the toilers re-
paid with their gratitude and affection, and
upon the many occasions when he was a can
didate for office large numbers of them came
to his snnnnrt REGARDLESS of marty affiliations
