DEMOCRATIC INDIFFERENCE

most favorable conditions for the DEM
ocrats During the contest many DEM
ocrats in the district relied upon rumors
of Republican disafiection and deemed
it unNise to have Democratic meetings
for fear of stirring up the opposition
fatal blunder whenever pursued.
When district committees declare their
hostility to having meetings and prefer
to trust to Republican apathy what
can be done but quietly submit to the
ruinous policy. Such was the case in
this county. All kinds of absurd talk
was INDUCED in by few dissatisfied
Republicans. The negroes even pre-
tended to be outs, but this was done
simply to get the Republican Doodle.
The so-called ward workers who prated
about the Indifference were simply
laughed at and at the proper time given
little soap and they slipped back into
line, going arm in arm with their ne
gro allies to swell the general result
Whenever we have had bold and ag-
gressive campaign we have always had
better results. This time we had great
and important issues to discuss and yet
for fear of rousing up the sleeping enc

out of our hands. A bold party always
commands respect, sneeking policy
seldom ever succeeds. If we are to
gain experience by the lessons of adj
versity the terrible whipping we have
received may prove to be blessing in
disguise. In the future let US go back
to the old way of conducting our CAM
paign. Ever man was leader in this
fight; in future we think the people
should listen to the advice of the truly
bold and fearless leaders Of the party.

THE Republicans can no longer shout

Mr.. LEE :. MYER, in the Third
Congressional District Of Maryland,
made one Of the most gallant and he
role fights against long odds in the po-
litical history Of the State. Wachter's
plurality will not be over 100 when
two years ago 1t was 1000. In one
Democratic ward the Democrats dis
played an apathetic spirit and Myer
proved fatally weak. Had he carried
it by a normal majority he would have
won easily In this case as in many
Others the Democrats win more vic
tories for their opponents than they do
themselves. Mr.. Myer deserves the

ONE reason for the peculiar vote this
year, As given by person we'll versed
in political conditions, is high prices
for foodstuffs in cities, which helped
Democrats, and high prices farmers are
getting for their produce helped the
Republicans in the counties. In Balti-
more City the Democrats made big
gains, which can be taken as blow to
the trusts. In New York City Coler
rolled up plurality of 40, 720, whilst
Odell in the State got plurality of
l35,000." 1t certainly looks as if this
was one way to solve the puzzle

The Republicans won in a ma
iority of States at the election on
Tuesday, retained control of Con

WHILST it was expected that the
next House of Congress would be DEM
ocratic by small majority it is not
surprising that the Republicans retain
ed their hold of this lever of power
1t was an "off-year" election and the
people did not rise to the opportunity
presented to them, thus neglecting a
chance to put curb on the policies of
Republicanism that have oppressed the
country. The trusts will thrive as they
have in the past and the voters will
have two more years to reflect on their
lost chances.

Some trouble was OccaSiOned in

of the curtain over the voting
booths being one continuous piece.
The matter was referred to the
Supervisors who ordered the cur
tain cut at each booth, making
separate curtains. The voting
was delayed half an hour.

county by the Official count is 99S.

So for Little.
Colonel Pearre's popularity
stood him good OH election day
and no doubt was responsible for
many votes.
The Republicans carried Johns
vile district this year by 9 plu-
rality against As two years ago.
The Ladiesburg postotlice matters
probably brought this about, but
Kenneweg's vote was 10 less than
Little received two years ago.
Page carried Carroll county by
263 plurality. This was caused
by detection in the Democratic
vote caused by the dissatisfaction
among certain Democrats in the
nomination of Talbot over Fink.

RESULT OF THE ELECTION.

The Democratic party in Maryland
has no cause to feel discouraged at the
result of the election last Tuesday.
Whist in certain counties, among
them Frederick, the Democrat vote
was disappoinlingly light and the Re
puulican>, on the other hand, gained
large pluialities. the general trend of
sentiment was plainly toward the
emancipation Of the people from the
thraldom of the powers that rule, and
the result can be taken rs a long step
in that direction. 1t this State we
gair ed two Congressman 50 that the del
egatiun will be divided Two years
ago the Republicans carried every dis
trict in the State aud had two United
States Senators. Now they will have
only one, after Congress meets in D.
cember. Pearre's victory il the sixth
District was most signal and shows
conclu-lvrly that the Republican ma
jority is fully equal to the figures put
down by the Democratic management.
The Republicans with Federal and
county patronage, large campaign con-
tributions, including the Rural Free
Delivery clerks and carriers, who were
assessed heavily, with the negroes a
solid vote and aided by Democratic
~tay-at-hOmes in every district in the
county naturally bad things their o" u
way and no other result, under the cir
cumstauces. could be expected There
was no dissatisfaction nor cause for
apathy in the Democratic ranks and
the light vote cast is surprising. OF
course this is considered an off year in
politics. but with such vital issues at
stake ami So much to be gained 10y the
wage earners and people in moderate
circumstances by working majority
in Congress, there is no excuse for such
criminal neglect of duty. 1t was a
chance to rebuke the trusts and the Re-
publican party and the chance was
thrown away. AS Barnum once truly
said 1.-THE people of this country like to
be humbugged The more you do it.,
it seems, the better they like it, For
years they have been humbugged and
held in bondage by the Republican
party and still they walk up like sheep
and vote for their unfeeling masters.

of trade and opportunity, as it almost
does now, not until the scales shall fall
off of their blinded eyes and reveal the

Republicans can feel elated at their
general victory and take it as vindi-

TIE Republicans are making much
matter about the curtain incident in
Mt Pleasant. 1t is well to see the
mote in your neighbours eye and hide
the beam in your own. The Republic
cans under the law of 1895 used contin-
uous curtains in Mt. Pleasant district
and it is said the judges have done so
ever since. OF course it is not the idea
of the present law which says each
both must have separate curtains, but
then when the Republicans started the
racket they ought not to squeal when
the tables are turned.

have stated the issue to be the

necessity OF tariff reduction for
the welfare Of the country. That
the people have not heard the
last of the tariff or of the trusts is
evident on all sides and that
they demand some steps toward
their relief is equally evident.
That many persons will vote for

EVENING GOWNS FOR RENT.
| Brides Among Those Who Hire Them
Some Expensive Costumes Rented.

From the New York Sun
"Can women hire evening gowns, as men
do dress coats?" was asked of a costumer.
why, surely they can, and they do. In
fact, they can find for rent dresses suitable
for any occasion. though evening gowns for
balls and dinners are most in demand. We
Rave rented dresses to be worn by brides at
their weddings, though we don't rent
dresses for wedding gowns as much as
we used to- Brides like to own their own
wedding gowns. But we have had gowns
that have been worn by more than one
bride We have walking gowns, for which,
however, the demand is not great We can
furnish dresses for garden parties, and in
fact, as l said, we can supply any apparel
that might be required, including attire
suitable for mourning.
Owe have rented sealskn sacques. Opera
wraps frequently hired. But, after all,
the chief demand is for evening gowns for
dresses suitable to be worn at balls and at
dinners and at the theater and other even
ing entertainments Perhaps half of the
evening gowns that We have for rent are in
black and thus inconspicuous in color
handsome gowns. but not such as to attract
curious scrutiny. The other half include
gowns in great variety, to suit any taste
or fancy. The various gowns thus rented
are in silks and velvets and other expensive
materials, fine and costly dresses Evening
gowns such as these are rented usually at
from s. to SO for the occasion. according
to the kind or the value of the dress. The
hire of a gown for one occasion might in
some circumstances be considerably more.
Thus we might make for patron, ex-
pressly to her order, costly gown. She
would wear it once, having the first wear
ing of the gown when it was absolutely
new. For that one use of an expensive
gown, thus especially designed and made
for the original wearer. we might charge

less expensive character to those who have
that they want to own it and If we can fix
a price that is satisfactory they buy 1t.
You'd think, you say, that the same
gown might be worn by different persons at
different gatherings Of the same company?
Yes, you would think so, perhaps, but they
don't seem to be. But, even If they should
be- changes that might be necessary to
adapt the dress to the of this or that
wearer would make it practically another
dress. Who hires evening gowns? Not the
rich, to be sure, though you would find
among those who do rent them plenty of
people comfortably off and well to do.
"Oftenest perhaps, they would be people
who would thus be enabled to wear a
greater number of fine gowns than they
could well or easily afford to buy or to
wear such gowns in greater variety. On
the other hand, again. there might be cases
In which women of the amplest means

DO EFFECTIVE WORK,
Women Are the Mainstay Of the Ac-
tive Work of the Church.

From the Kansas City Star
well, We'll have to get up an ice-crea m
social" said the president of the Ladies'
Aid Society. There was a debt hanging
over the church that was "worrisome" and
the pastor and the trustees naturally turned
to the women for help. The ice-cream So
cial was the first thing that suggested it
self. because it was in the summer time.
If it had been in the winter it would have
been an oyster supper. But always it would
have been the women who were expected to
raise the debt.
Few people realize until they stop to
think how much of the church work de-
wolves upon the women. The women are
the mainstays Of the church and If you
take out the operating department of the
churches the various women's organiza-
lions. whether it is the ladies' aid society of
the general run Of the sedalities of the
Catholics. or the guilds of the Episcopal
lians. there would not be much left from
which to expect assistance in raising the
rest of the preachers salary or wiping out
the debt.
OF course, 1t IS the men who, in the long
run, furnish the money, but all the diff
culties and the unpleasantness and the hard
work are managed by the women, and all
the men have to do is to come around to tine
socials and entertainments and get about
" worth OF amusement or eatables for half
a dollar or quarter, as the case may be
There is no greater novelty in church work
than anything along this line handled by
the men. So true is this fact thatrthe wo-
men even use it for advertising purposes,
and supper cooked or served by the men
of the congregation is one of the best draw
Ing cards of the amusement season.
There are different names for the womens
organizations according to the lenomina-
tions. But 1t always amounts to the same
thing in the long run, and, if statistics were
at hand to show just how much money the
women turn into the church Golfers, it
would undoubtedly be shown that without
the women the trustees would come out Of
the little end of the financial horn at the
end Of the year The pastors are always
generous in their acknowledgements Of the
effective work done by the women
