DEMOCRATIC DISGRACE.

Here it is time to draw the Febru-
airy jury and no judge appointed.
The Democratic Governor is making
a most shameful and unpleasant ex-
hibition of weakness and vascilla-
ton. He is most uncomplimentary
to the Democratic members of the bar
in this circuit in that he cannot find
one fit to act as judge just for few
months. The people Of Washington
county are entitled to have a judge
named so that business can be trans
acted. 1t is not right that the entire
district should be made to suffer sim
ply because lot of Democratic poll
ticians are squabbling among them
selves. The judgeship is worthy of
more consideration than that. 1t
should not be trailed in the dust to
accommodate the whims and caprices
of a lot of wire pullers and power
grabbers. People have grown dis
gusted with the spectacle and the
Governor should have acted long ago
even if it might have endangered a
few votes for the "Ring." Maryland
public matters under the Democratic
regime are ever prostituted to disgust
ing politics. Everything is made con-
tingent on it's effect on the Ring"
That organization of corruption must
be consulted, considered and cared
for, the balance of the State and all
other interests can go to the bottom
of Hades as far as the aggregation at
the head of the machine is concerned.
That the judiciary is to be trailed in
the dust because Governor Smith is
embarrassed by the claims of the vari-
Gus aspirants and politicians is con-
dition that cannot be excused, a dis
grace for which there can be no palli-
alton. He should either perform his
duty or resign. He has no right to
act as he has done and the people of
this district are entitled to more con-
sideration than they have received at
his hands.
1t is time he was taking some steps
in the matter and it is also time the
local Democratic politicians are acting
with some consideration for the peo-
pie. Is there no one in this district
Governor Smith thinks fit for the
judgship or does the Ring" refuse to

Gets Decision in Long Pending Patent
Suit.
The District of Columbia Court of
Appeals, in decision by Chief JUS
tice Alvey, has brought to an end
long and interesting litigation be-
tween the late r. b. Dashiell, o. S. n.
and V. Compton Tasker, now ordin-
ance engineer of the United States
Ordnance company. Each party
claimed to have invented a novel and
ingenious rolling extractor for eject
ing the fired cartridge cases from
breech-loading guns.
The litigation has extended over a
period of four years, and meanwhile
the extractor has been introduced
and extensively used for rapid fire
guns supplied to both army and
navy.
The rights in this extractor have
yielded large returns and the case was
therefore fiercely contested, having
twice passed through the three tribu-
mails of the Patent Office, with YER
diets in Tasker's favor, and finally
having been taken to the Court of
Appeals, where the verdict of the
Patent Office was sustained.
An interesting feature of the case
was the exhibit in the courtroom of
standard army field gun shipped to
Washington from the Sandy Hook
proving ground, and said to contain
the new extractor.
Mr.. Tasker is native of Oakland
and is the son of Mr.. H. p. Tasker.
Young Tasker's father founded and
edited for many years the Garrett
County Herald, and is well known in
both Garrett and Allegany count

NEGRO PICKPOCKET
HAS CRIMINAL RECORD
William H. Taylor Served Several
Terms in Maryland Prisons.

Major Sylvester this morning received
information which confirmed his first
impression concerning the negro. VIII
liam H. Taylor, held for the grand jury
for picking pockets at the convention OF
the True Reformers for the purpose OF
dedicating their hall at Twelfth and L
Streets northwest.
From the moment OF Taylor's arrest
on September 4, by Policeman Fugftt. Of
the Eighth precinct, Major Sylvester was
convinced that the man had a criminal
record. He therefore communicated with
several other cities, and this morning re-
ceived an excellent likeness OF Taylor
from Marshal Farnam, OF Baltimore, and
a copy Of Taylor's record in that city
Taylor served six months in the Mary
land House OF Correction for stealing the
pocketbook OF Mary Green, in August
1894; eighteen months in the Maryland
penitentiary for snatching the pocket
book of Larette LeBrau, on April 10
1895, and three months IN the Baltimore
jail for burglarizing the store OF Fred
erick Ontner, IN November, 1886.
Taylor is accused here OF having stolen
the pocketbooks of William Braxton and
the Rev. A. w. Truehart, containing 81. Sc

get the purse Of Bette Hicks, OF 1872

NANCE TOLD POLICE
A PIPE DREAM STORY
Neither Drugged Nor Robbed, and
Had No Diamond Ring.

Wade II. Nance, who said he was q
leading merchant Of Atlanta. Ga. came
TO Police Headquarters Sunday night
with a sensational story OF having been
drugged and robbed of $50 in money. a
watch which was an heirloom. and
diamond ring worth $3.50. When he had
been fieeced, he said. he had been placed
on train and elected in an unconscious
condition at Alexandria, where he was
taken 10 a hospital.
Detectives Horne and Berman were as
signed TO the case. and soon learned
that Nance came here with a woman
named Mrs. Sanderson. and there was
reason to believe that, IL Nance had any
money or property. the woman had
taken it from him for safe-keeping
while he was drinking Major Sylves-
ter therefore wired 10 the police Of At
lanta, making inquiries about the wo-
man.
He has received a reply, saying there
is absolutely nothing in Nance's story
When Mrs. Sanderson left him he had
nothing OF value but his ticket TO At
lanta, and he never had a diamond ring.
The story OF the knockout drops IS
therefore discredited.

he found the police were going 10 in
