LET US HAVE A WAKE
POLICY AND NEW STREETS.

Again the question of improved
streets seems to be taking somewhat
more definite shape than heretofore.
Our city fathers should be up and do
ing. A wide-awake policy is always
commendable. Let those of our citi-
Zens who intend to Danish the miser-
able cobbles get up their petitions, stat
ing their willingness to bear their in
dividual share OF the expenses of new
and improved pavements to be put
down under contract by an experienced
and competent street engineer No
nonsense about this enterprise. If the
first step is taken in the right way
this will prove to bf move endorsed
by the people and will go on until we
have the handsomest little city in the
country. Let us have one of our prin-
cipal business squares paved anew,
then let us have a decent street to both
of our railroad depots. Who will be
the first to move in the matter?

Complaint About the Wash
ingtOn Milk Dealers.

Very just complaint is being
made by some of he farmers who
have been sending their milk and
cream to Washington. 1t is
claimed that when the weather is
cool and the demand for ice.
cream and milk falls off in the
city the milk and cream sent in
cans to the different dealers is
allowed to stand about in the sun
to sour then returned to the farm.
er. Another trick is to keep the
farmers cans so as to prevent them
sending their usual supply. If
these charges be true it is only a
question Of time when the farm
ers will unite to secure their own
agents, and thus sell their own
milk. Feed is too high and profits
too small to have any nonsense or
any dealers tricks about the milk
business. There is already talk
about disposing of milk and cream
to company about to be estab-
lished in this city. This will do
away with many complaints and
enable the farmers to protect
themselves. All our people con-
tend for is fair treatment.
The citizen. (Frederick City, Md.) 1895-1923, 1902-05-23

little likelihood that the Senate
will pass it at the next session
but it is the belief of the House
leaders that it will "draw" the
Democrats in the fall campaign
and il is with the intention of stir
ring up the advocates of free sill
yer that the leaders wish to pass
the measure. The bill provides
for the retirement of the green
backs and the conveyance to the
national banks of almost unlimit-
ed powers and responsibilities.
The Western Republicans are
seriously opposed to its passage
as they believe it would be another
instances OF the sacrifice of their
interests to the general good of
the party and they consider that
they have already been seriously
injured by the absolute rejection
of tariff revision. Whether the
leaders will be able to whip the
insurgents into line in the caucus
remains to be seen.
The House spent all last week
considering the Naval appropria-
ton bill, which passed on Satur-
day. The debate at times was
most spirited and amusing. Rep
resentative Williams of Mis-
sissippi read to the House some
doggerel concerning the appoint
ment of Crowninshield to the Euro
pean station which concluded
with the lines;
Great Crowninshield's the greatest tar
That ever stayed ashore"
The verses were received with
shouts of laughter. At times the
debate swerved to include the
Philippine question and some de-
cidedly acrimonious passage en-
sued.
Apropos of the Hanna Frye
ship subsidy bill the last issue of
Lloyd's Register states that the
Steel Trust is the largest owner
in the world. 1t is not surprising
the bill was passed by the Senate.

A Novel Theory.

The relative position of the sun
and moon at an angle of 40 degrees
is said by Hugh Clements an Eng,
lish scientist, to have been the
cause of the Mount Pelee eruption
on the Island of Martinique.
Clements says that this relative
position of the sun and the earth's
satellite occurred at exactly 80
a. m. Thursday last the time
when the eruption began. The
immense force exerted on the
earth by the tangential position
of the two bodies, he says, acted
fully upon Mt. Pelee and its mol
ten contests. The force was great
enough to cause the blowing up
Of the volcanoes cap.
The Galveston disaster, he
points out, occurred when the sun
and moon where in a similar posi-
ton to each other.

IMPERIALISM THE ISSUE.
Representative Richardson
Says it Will be the Battle
Cry Of the Democrats This
Coming Election.

The Democrats in Congress feel
jubilant over the prospect of a
victory during the forthcoming
Congressional elections.
They are particularly pleased
with the happy combination of
different factions of the party
which are represented in the
makeup of the Finance and Ex-
ecutive Committees of the Con-
gressiOnal Campaign Committee.
In speaking of the issues today
Representative James ID. Rich
ardson, of Tennessee, the Demo
cratic leader on the floor of the
House and a member of the Ex-
ecutive Committee, said:
"There will be but one issue,
as matter of fact, during the
coming campaign, and that will
be the question of imperialism.
The Democrats of the country are
united on that subject. The two
new committees are composed of
men from all sections of the coun-
try, and, as far as the money
question is concerned, the mem,
bership represents both sides of
the matter. One of the commit
tee, Hon. Judson Harmon, was a
member of President Cleveland's
last Cabinet, and when the money
issue was foremost he represented
the ultra gold standard faction of
the party. But at present there
is no money question confronting
the people-that is to say, it is
not a leading issue. The matter
of imperialism is now all import
ant. We stand as one man upon
that issue.

The Baltimore & Ohio Rail
road and the Civil War.
1S61--1865.

1t was the first and most deSira-
bic point of vantage coveted by
both the Federal and Confederate
armies. In May, 1861 the four
Federal advance columns con
centrated at Parkersburg, w. Va,
Wheeling, w. Va, Harper's Ferry,
W. Va, and at Washington. To
retain the advantage, the Federal
government established block
houses along the railroad from
the MOnocacy to the Ohio river,
besides forts at Winchester,
Harper's Ferry, Cumberland,
Piedmont and New Creek (Key-
ser). The B. & o. was the base
of operations for the Federal army
for nearly four years and from
which the government could not
take advance line earlier than
November, 1864. The b. & O..
was the means of communication
between he West and the Army
of the Potomac, and was conse
quently in continual state of
siege. Harper's Ferry, the key to
the Shenandoah Valley, first
famed through the fanatical at
tempt of John Brown, in defying
the laws and customs of his coun-
try, was captured or recaptured
eight times in three years. The
Government Arsenal and armOries
which were located there. were
destroyed by the government to
prevent their capture. One hun
dred and seventy nine battles of
greater or less Importance were
fought on or adjacent to the Balti-

MT. PELEE ACTIVE AGAIN.
This Time Fort De France is
Threatened and Inhabitants
Panic Stricken.

Mount Pelee and La Soufriere,
the great volcanoes on the islands
of Martinique and st. Vincent,
whose eruptions on May s and 8
killed more than $4,000 people,
have broken forth again with far
greater violence.
a new reign of terror began at
st. Pierre and Fort de France at
5 A. NJ. Tuesday, when Mount
Pelee broke out into an eruption
ten times as violent as that of
May s, which overwhelmed st.
Pierre. Columns of volcanic mat
ter, huge red hot boulders and
ashes were elected from the crater
to an enormous height and fell
over a large eXteut of country
hitherto spared.
The volcanic clouds, carrying
red hot stones and ashes, reached
Fort de France, throwing the pop
ulation into a frenzy of terror.
Thousands fled precipitately and
many of the inhabitants took
refuge on the United States cruis-
er Cincinnati, the French cruiser
Suchet, the American steamer
Potomac, and other vessels in the
harbOr. Lieutenant Mccormick,
of the Potomac, did gallant work
in reScuing the refugees. All the
Inhabitants want to leave the
island, believing it to be doomed
At $50 p. NJ. on Sunday an
other great eruption Of La SOuf-
riere occurred, a fiery column sud
denly ascending many miles in
height. Red-hot ashes fell for
more than two hours and streams
of lava flowed down the noun
tain side to distance of several
miles. Business in Kingstown is
suspended and the people are fee
ing, terror stricken.
