Majority and Minority Elections.

Speaking of the defeat of Senator
Jones practically by the direct vote of
the Arkansas democrats, the Baltimore
SIM concludes its speculations thereupon
with two significant remarks:
Majority rule is the cardinal principle of
democracy, although it is a principle which
is not always respected by politicians. Many
men obtain office who would never be
elected if the people had the decisive voice
in the election.
If the SIMS mind could be read at that
point it would be seen no doubt that it
refers to recent event wherein candi-
date for United States Senator, running
upon the popularity and regularity of
his henchmen in the counties, was
elected by them, although they polled
not less than 1920 less than the majority
of the popular vote.

Vital Statistics of Cecil County.

DIR. Howard Bratton, secretary
of the Cecil County Board of Health,
has completed and just for
warded to DR.. John s. Fulton,
secretary of the State Board, the
report of the Cecil County Board
for the year ended December 81,
1901. During the year 402 deaths
were reported to the Health Board,
an increase of 81 over 1900, the
rate per 1000 being 1926, against
1851. DIR. Bratton, in his report,
states that this fact is due mainly
to two factors-more complete re-
turns, due to the Burial Permit
law, which went into effect July 1,
1900, and the epidemic of grip,
which prevailed during the early
part of the year. The death rate
for Elkton was 26.35 per 1000,
against 1876 the year previous.
This is record, says DIR. Bratton,
surpassed only by some the large
cities of the tropics. The rate
among colored persons decreased,
despite the fact that the accidental
deaths and still births-two of each
were charged against them. Of
the 81 deaths 10 were colored per-
sons, who number $40 in a popu-
lation of 2,542. The rate for the
white people was 1852 and for col
ored 1926. In 1900 it was 1882
and Ally, respectively. The num-
Der of births reported for the year
was 1856. While the record is not
complete, the death will equal, if
not outnumber, the births. Of the
122 cases of scarlet fever for the
two years, there were no deaths
directly or indirectly traceable to it.

Decision Reversed.

In the Court of Appeals last week
in the case Of the Maryland Clay
Company, of Baltimore City, oper-
ating a plant at North East, this
county, versus Edward Goodnow,
decision was rendered reversing
the verdict of the Hartford county
court in favor of Goodnow.
The case was tried in the Circuit
Court for Hartford county. The
plaintiff, Edward Goodnow, while
employed by the defendant COM
pany in its kaolin plant, near
North East, was severely injured
by the negligence of fellow work.
man. He was engaged in unload
ing cars when five cars escaped on
the incline above and crashed into
the one on which he was standing.
He was thrown to the track and
one arm so badly crushed by being
run over by the cars, that it had to
be amputated at the shoulder.
The court holds that the company
exercised reasonable care in the
selection of fellow servants and in
the procuring of proper and suitable
machinery. The direct cause OF
the injury was the use of a Cal
with broken brake, and for the
negligence and carelessness of the
fellow servant in using this Cal
