Money in Politics-Its Free Use.


The growing use of money in politics is an
evil which. demands immediate and serious
consideration. No one acquainted with the
facts can believe that the large campaign funds
expended everywhere by the Republicans, and
in some sections by the Democratic reorgani-
GERS, are either necessary or legitimate. In
one voting precinct of Nebraska the Republl-
cans boosted that they spent more than SlUO.
As there are only a few more than lUO voters
in the precinct referred to, it would mean
campaign fund of about $500, 600 for Nebraska
alone if the same effort was made In all the
precincts. A Connecticut paper, speaking OF
the Democratic campaign says that twenty
four state committeeman should be required
to raise 81 600 each. IF any committeeman
cannot produce this sum- says the paper 'let
him step down and make room for another
who can doit." and it adds: with the sum OF
$4,000 assured beyond question there should
be no difficulty in securing enough more 10
enable all the legitimate expenses of the cam
paign to be met without heavy assessment
on the candidates. Twenty-four thousand IS
only beginning in Connecticut.
There are certain proper and legitimate ex-
penses which cannot be avoided, but 1T is
notorious fact that large sums are used ior
purposes which cannot be defended. Men are
hired to work" when it is known that the
money is intended for their votes some are
hired to stay at home, while others are bought
outright.
In the heat of a campaign a strong partisan
! might rejoice in the fact that his party had the
largest campaign fund, but no lover of bis
country can, ON reflection, doubt the corrupt
| ing influence of immense campaign funds
drawn from insolent and arrogant monopolies.
In 1892 the Cleveland committee had very
large fund in 1896 the Republican commit
tee had still larger fund. In 1900 the Re
publican National Committee was so we'll sup.
piled with funds that one trust magnate was
sprDrised. *. receiye. after the election cousid

Political Status of Maryland.

DuUtHtOIe american.
= Indeed It'll getting to be question
whether Maryland is any longer doubtful
State There is more in recent elections in
this State to justify the claim that it is Repub-
lican than to uphold the declaration that the
State is doubtful. Look at the maiorities since
1896.
In the election of 1895 the Republican ma
jority in the counties was 7,167, while in the
city it was IL 600.
In the election in 1896 the counties furnished
a majority of IL 126 and the city 81 100
In the election of 1897 the Democratic ma
jority in the counties was 730 and in Baltimore
city the Republican majority was 1900.
In the election of 1901 the counties poled
1884 Republican votes and gave 3418 Demo
cratic majority. The city polled ~, 412 Repub-
lican votes and gave 8, 297 Republican majority.
The Clerk of the Court of Appeals was defeated
IN the counties, but elected by the city. The
Comptroller was elected by 1897 votes in the
city, but defeated by 8, 418 in the counties.
The counties in the First Congressional dis
trict polled 1887 Republican votes in 1901
The counties in the Second Congressional
district polled II 1926 Republican votes in 1901
The counties in the Fifth district polled
9,104 Republican votes in 1901.
The counties in the Sixth district poled H.
5S8 Republican votes in 1901.
Baltimore city polled 42,412 Republican
votes in 1901.
The majorities at the recent election are we'll
remembered. The Eastern Shore seems to
have been permanently placed in the Repub-
can column.
Baltimore city went Republican.
The Republicans showed large gains in
Southern and Western Maryland.
The Democrats made gains in Central Mary
land and in West Baltimore
The State was Republican by over 1000

On WEDNESDAY the Court of Appeals of
Maryland handed down an opinion in the
Berry will case, which affirmed the rulings of
the Court of Common Pleas of Baltimore city,
which determined that the last will and tesla
ment Of George R. Berry, deceased, left the
tutions. This was the third time the case has
been before the Court of Appeals, and from
the legal talent arrayed on both Sides as well
as the points of law involved, the case aroused
great deal of interest and the findings of the
present court puts an end 10 the famous case.
The late Mr.. Berry was Baltimore business
man.

REPORTS HAVE recently been set ahoat that
Senator Hanna intended to resign from the Sem
ate and also from the craftsmanship of the Re-
publican National Committee. Denying these
reports the Ohio statesman said II am not
going to resign from anything. Such
thought never entered my head. Neither will
Iretire as chairman of the Republican National
Committee until have called the next Ma
tional Convention to order. If the new Ma
tional Committee to be selected by the dele
gates to that convention does not ask me to
become its chairman 1 will not have to pass
upon the subject of my retirement. fit does
tender me the craftsmanship then 1 shall have
to decide whether 1 will accept it,
WHILE IN Washington on Monday President
Loree, of the B. & 0. Railroad Company, was
interviewed relative to the building of the
proposed grand union depot in that city.
While not very enthusiastic on the subject he
said he would do what he could to further the
project, and added: II am a believer in
freight. In my opinion the passenger business
is the dress parade part of the railroad business.
We build fine coaches and throw them away
for finer coaches in a friedly competition with
each other. We erect mammoth stations and
tear them down to erect larger stations. Every
business has its display features, and this is
ours. l do not believe the passenger depart
ment of any railroad is selfsupporting. More
money is spent in these luxuries than is ever
received in fares The passenger business
does not pay and never did, Every substan-
tial enterprise has its frills and decorations,
and the passenger business is ours'
