GORMAN'S CANDIDACY.

Much has been said recently about
the availability of Mr.. German as the
next candidate of the Democratic
party for President. The last election
disposed of so many Democratic
leaders, who had been mentioned in
connection with this high Office it is
quite impossible to find man who
will measure up to the requirements
of the situation. In order to show
how Mr.. German is regarded in the
West we publish the following editor
ial from the Detroit Free Press, a lead
ing Democratic newspaper of that
vicinity.
Mr.. German is an adroit politician,
of the opportunist school; astute,
coolheaded and rational, but he rep
resents nothing except political craft.
He lisa David B. HILL with warm,
red blood and a gift for friendshi p.
He could appeal to no class of Dem
ocrats except the famished walters
around the public crib. The Eastern
Democrats might accept him, because
they would consider him "a safe man, y
out the Democrats who have been
following Mr.. Bryan will have none
OF him. They, at least, have not aban-
doned their devotion to principle,
however sorry the principle itself
may be. Unless the Free Press has
mistaken their temper they woul d
rather support an open foe than a
neutral
AS for the young men of the nation,
the German candidacy would leave
them cold. They would turn en- masse
from the Maryland politician to Theo-
dore Roosevelt, who appeals to their
hearts, their sympathies and their
imagination. There is little hope
for the Democratic party in 1904 at
best, but what hope there is lies in
the nomination of man who has
not been identified with the quarrels
and chickering's and fractional fights
and dead issues of the last twenty
years. Unless the Democrats nomin-
ate candidate who embodies the
future and can appeal to the mag
jnatiOn of the American people their
campaign is discredited in advance.
However, it is not so easy to find
such a candidate. Good presidential
timber is not so common in the Dem
ocratic party as it was once, and by
the time the internal difficulties of
the Democracy have been harmon
lied" in the next national convention
it may make little difference who the
candidate is, provided his fifth rib is
convenient of access.

ONE WAS KILLED.
Bad Wreck on the West Virginia Central
Railroad.

Bad Wreck on the West Virginia Central
Railroad.
One of the worst freight wrecks
that ever occurred on the West Vir-
ginia Central railroad happened Tues
day afternoon between Douglas and
Hendricks.
Engineer John Jankey, of Pied
mont, a former resident of Deer Park
and a brother of Mrs. Lloyd Cham
bers, of Oakland, was killed and
Brakeman Alva Wolfe, of Elkins, is
reported fatally hurt.
The runaway was caused by the
wet rails, a heavy rain having fallen
during the evening. The twenty-four
cars were hurled down the mountain
into Tub run. They were loaded with
lumber, cinders and coke. The run
away attained rate of over mile
minute before it jumped the track.
Six cars and the caboose were left
standing on the track. The train was
drawn bv engine No. Al, which was
also demolished.
Conductor James Brown and Fire
nah L. j. Cross escaped without SER
ious injury, although the latter sus-
tanned a sprained ankle. A relief
train with physicians was sent out
from Elkins.
The grade where the accident hap
pened is. one of the steepest on the
road.

MR.. vANDIvER NOT WANTED n,

The San seems to be in earnest
about getting rid of the present Dem
ocratic managers. 1t inquiries this
week: will the Democrats of Mary
land wake up?" Another query is:
us the Democratic party entirely sat-
isfied with the Chairman and his
work?'' 1t answers this by saying:
Wherein, indeed, has it been salts
factory, judge from the standpoint of
results? "Unfortunate occurrences
have occurred so often under his re-
gime that the raven of i'll luck. seems
forever sitting over the pallid bust of
Defeat at his headquarters, contin-
ually murmuring Never moren to all
anxious inquiries for Democratic vic
tory. Would not the Democratic
party be better off with a new State
Central Committee chairman who
has horseshoe instead of a raven,
and with whom the bad habit of re-
porting unfortunate occurrences has
not become fixed?
Poor, Mr., Vandiver! Why should he
bear the brunt of criticism alone?
There are some well known names in
the list of Democratic managers of
today who were well known to the
generations that have gone. True,
Mr. Vandiver has been admitted to
the sacred precincts of 1.-The" man
ayers, but he has been member
scarcely more than a dozen years,
while the hoar frost of antiquity is on
the mantles of others. Pray, be fair!
There's Mr.. German, the big chief,
who has managed to keep a tight
rein on the Maryland Democratic
organization for over thirty years.
Then, there's Mr.. Rasin, in your own
city. Who can remember the day
that he did not rum city politics?
These gentlemen haYe been driving
the Democratic band wagon while
the boys played the music and the
rest marched, these many years and
the Sun has been shining" all that
time. Only once did its rays "Scorch'
the fellows who have appropriated
the Democratic party to their sole
benefit. The San yields a mighty
influence, but its scorching must do

To Build Telephone Line,

A number of the leading citizens of
Greenville township have formed a
mutual company to be known as the
Economy Telephone company, and
they will build telephone line from
Sand Patch to Pocahontas, thence to
Finzel, Md, and from there into
Salisbury, Such a line has long been
needed, and stock to an amount large
enough to build and equip the line
has been subscribed, and work will
be started upon the line at once. A.

Consumption is a human
weed fourishing best in weak
lungs. Like other weeds it's
easily destroyed while young;
when old, sometimes i'm
possible.
Strengthen the lungs as you
would weak land and the
weeds will disappear.
The best lung fertilizer is
SCOTS Emulsion. Salt pork
is good too, but it is very hard
to digest.
The time to treat consump-
ton is when you begin trying
to hide it from yourself.
Others see it, you won't.
Don't wait until you can't
deceive yourself any longer.
Begin with the hrSt thought
to take SCOTS Emulsion. If
it isn't really consumption so
much the better; you will soon
forget it and be better for the
treatment. If it is consump-
ton you can't expect to be
cured at once, but if you will
begin in time and will be
rigidly regular in your treat
ment you will win.
SCOTS Emulsion, fresh air,
rest all you can, eat all you
can, that's the treatment and
that's the best treatment.
