THE CAMPAIGN IN OHIO.

For what IS commonly termed an "off year" the political campaign in Ohio this year is attended with many unique features, and has been waged with an earnestness that promises to bring out an unusually large vote next Tuesday. Intersat in an election in Ohio is always more widespread than a political contest in almost any other state, because of the prominence of Ohio in national politics, and as bar ometer it's prognostications are usually accurate.
 This year interest in campaign in the buckeye state has been intensified by the appearance of new democrat ic leader whose rise has been of the pyrotecnic order and of whom great things are expected. Mayor Tom Johnson of Cleveland has done more perhaps, than any one man or set of men, to add vigor to the present cam paign. And everything, seemingly, has played into bis hands.

LOCAL POLITICAL CAMPAIGN

The political campaign in Gila coun ly is practically closed, Thelocal can didates have completed very thorough canvass of the country districts and re- turned to Globe for the final appeal to the voters of this, the most populous precinct. Col Wilson and Mir Morrison have visited us and each has discussed the questions which are believed to most interest the voters and affect the welfare of the territory, from the standpoint of his party. The issues are joined and the voters are ready, and many of them impatient to cast their ballots.
 The questions which divide the par. ties relate especially to the contest for delegate to congress, and in a lesser degree to that for members of the leg islature. Therefore, the voter who has any fixed political opinions may req sonably be expected to support the candidates of hls party for those offices, and as opinion favorable to democratic principles prevails in Gila county, Col. Wilson will, without doubt, receive Q majority of the votes cast on November |. For members of the legislature there is no contest in this county, the repub- licans having nominated A. H. More head and J. B. Henry, the candidates put forward by the democratic party, which is q strong attestation of the confidence reposed in them by the peo. pie of the county generally. And this Is recognized as a generous concession on the part of the republicans and has been helpful to their candidates for county offices, especially to those oi them who qualifications are admit. tedly good and the election of several republicans IS probable.
 After all, the fitness of the candi. date should be the determining factor in every county election, as the eff. cient and economical administration of county affairs is paramount to every other consideration, and when political managers discover that the voters are independent and discriminating we may then expect the best available men to be put forward for public office.

To incorporate Labor Unions.

In Massachusetts they propose to incorporate the labor unions, like other societies, and believe by this method they will benefit both the un- ions and the public. At present. the unions are irresponsible. They give accounting to nobody except their own officers, and if a walking delegate or strike committee orders a great public work to be held up, or great industry discontinued, thereby put ting the whole country to suffering and inconvenience, there appears to Oe no legal remedy for the distressed. Nor does there even appear to be any way in which the unions can hold their own officers to an accoun ting when they are compelled to close the doors of their shops against them selves, and retire to their homes to b. supported for an indefinite period by taxes on other wOrkmen. If the unions can be incorporated they be come responsible to the state and tn, people for their conduct. They cal claim their rights in the courts, i they have been maltreated, and thu people can claim rights against them by suit. Brooklyn Eagle

E. z. Kellner Wins Creamery Suit.

The case of F. F. Kellner against the MaricOpa Creamery company, which has been before the court for some time, was tried yesterday. This is the latest incident in the fight Of the stockholders of the company for control. By the defendant creamery company are meant Emery Rays and F. M. Mognett. The action is based upon the sale by the defendants of nine shares of the stock of the com pany. This sale the plaintiff sought to havo set aside, and that was the result of the trial yesterday, so that the stock will have to go back into the treasury.
 These shares passed into the pos session of the defendants, and the question of the control of the com pany was settled for the time.
 About year ago, or at the time of the commencement of the contest for supremacy was begun, the shares of the company took on value which led holders who knew nothing about the war, to believe that the creamery business was becoming such divl- dend company as the United States Steel corporation. It was later found though, that the demand for stock came from only two sourceS-Mr. Kell- ner on one side aud MeSsrS. Rays and MOgnett on the Other.-Phocnix Re- publican.

Contract System for Roads.

The Caroline County Commissioners have
recently taken decisive action looking toward
Improvement in the work of road repair in
the county. The board awarded contracts
for working the roads in two districts. 7.
F. Born of fredericksburg one of the foremost
advocates of good roads in The county, was
given the contract for road repair in the fifth
district and Albert w. Thompson that for
the seventh, or Rldgely district, Next week
the board is expected to award contracts for
the remaining six districts and the contract
system will be given thorough trial over
the old method of parceing out the roads
among supervisors, who for the most were
selected for political considerations. There
have been upward ola hundred of these hold
ing appointments at the same time. The
people are highly pleased with the abolition
of the supervisor system and commend the
commissioners for rising above political con
siderations.

ut is queer what liking young students

candidate who was given charge of funeral
in the absence of the pastor of the church.
He knew it was customary for the minister
to announce after the sermon that those who
wished should step up to view the remains,

phrase, and he said instead:

It is rumored that the Baltimore and Fred
erick Electric Railway Company will not
follow the route originally planned In this
county, but, after crossing Monocacy In the
neighborhood Of Ceresylle, will 60 to " ak.
ersville, thence to Woodsboro and thence to
Libertytown.
To follow this route would necessitate
laying considerably more track than would
be required if the road ran along the turnpike
from Frederick to Libertytown. and would
probably deprive Mt. Pleasant of the benefits
of the road, but 1t would bring the road into
touch with two towns each much larger
than Mt. Pleasant and avoid much of the
heavy grade encountered in the direct line
from Frederick to Libertytown.
Another inducement for the change Of
route is said to be the expectation that road
will be built from Woodsboro to Gettysburg
by the newly chartered Frederick, Legore
and Emmitsburg Railway Company. The
incorporators of the latter company secui ed
the charter with view to using the power
which will be provided by the electric plant
whic. Mr.. j. W. Legore proposes to establish
a: the dam which he intends to build across
the Monocacy, near Legores, to operate a
railway from Frederick to Thurmont and
Emmitsburg, and probably to Gettysburg.
Negotiations are said TO be in progress be-
tween Mr.. Legore and the Baltimore and
Frederick Electric Railway Company with
a view to effecting an agreement whereby
in case the latter company runs its line thro'
Woodsboro, the Frederick, Legore and EN-
mtsburg company will make Woodsboro its
starting point, giving the Baltimore & Fred
erick company connection with Gettysburg.
The surveying corps which recently start
ed out from Frederick followed the turnpike
to Libertytown, but It is stated that another
survey, over the Walkersville and Woods.
boro route, will be made Immediately.

lNoTE-What good reason can be seen 10
exist tor locating this line from Woodsboro
to Emmitsburg by uoay Of Thurmont when, if
the proposed W. M. cut off should be built,
the Emmitsburs railroad would be more
direct and under those conditions, we assume,
available route, is not apparent to us.
Thurmont would, from the point OF view
of very many people residing in the territory
of the proposed line, be worth 80 little to the
road that the promoters would not be justi.
fled in going a hundred yards out of their
way to reach it, and we are not sure that we
are IN positive disagreement with them
