ductrs to sell at living profits, and to
secure Observation-Disclosures as low
as possible. For years past the
agriculturalists have had complaints
against commission men, dealers in
fertilizers and agricultural imple-
ments and combinations among them
have been formed heretofore-the
fruit growers of California being one
of the most successful organizations
of its kind. A combination some
what similar to this also exists on
the Eastern Shore of Virginia and
Maryland, where potatoes are the
chiefproducts. This concern arranges
for the sale of farmers products and
the business is so we'll conducted that
a reasonable profit is returned to the
share holders every year. Growers
Of oranges in Florida have also
banded together for each others pro-
lection and the enterprise seems to
work well.
In theory we believe the move to
be a good one since almost every
other business has made combina-
lions that are effectual in the
maintenance of prices. On general
principles almost every oneis opposed
to trust, but there is much truth in
the old saying fight the devil with
fire" so it would seem no more than
reasonable that our husbandmen
should protect themselves when
almost every single article that they
purchase is controlled by trust.
1t has been urged that the residents
of the rural communities are too con-
sentative to enter into this plan, but
we believe that if it was made per.
fectly plain that the business would
be run in the interests of every one,
there would be disposition shown
to Join in the movement. Many Of
our readers recall with regret the
recent Milk Producers Association
as the court dockets plainly show,
but in this caseit is very easy to trace
the reasons for the failure of the COM
pany. No doubt any organization
would be viewed with aslkance, but
nevertheless because bad business
management was shown in one case,
we should not judge every new en-
terprise by the experience of the old.
1t is we'll worth while for the farm
ers to look into and consider this
matter carefully, for every one
knows that they are not protected
by tariff, trusts or combinations,
and the price of their products is
arbitrarily controlled by a set Of men
who never saw Plow, harrow or
even a self-binder. The necessities of
life is one Of the most frequently
manipulated commodities by shrewd
business men, who arbitrarily force
the market up or down as depends
upon their own selfish interests. If
the farmers were in a combination
this would not be possible and they
themselves could compel the con-
sumers to pay reasonable living
price for every product that grows
out of the ground.

OUR PRESENT ELECTION LAW.

The Republican State Convention
has adopted as its slogan the repeal
of the Election Law of 1901 and it is
more than probable that this falls
campaign will largely be made upon
this issue. The Democrats have no
hesitation in meeting the Republicans
in the defense of this admirable
statute, which while not perfect, was
one of the greatest death blows ever
dealt to bribery and corruption at
the polls. We can we'll understand
why the Republicans object to the
adjustment of the two ballot clerks,
for it was by the means of these in
struments that the purchaser was
sure of the delivery of his goods.
Since that time the result has always
been unsatisfactory because ofthe un-
certainty of the contamination of the
bargain.
While the practice of vote buying
did not exist in this county, yet its
presence was notorious elsewhere in
the State of Maryland, and that
section of the law prohibiting the
giving or taking OF bride was alb
solutely ignored. The manner of
procedure was very easy. Under
the Lowndes Election Law the voter
could claim that he was illiterate and
ask for assistance. He was accom-
panied to the booth by a ballot clerk
who marked the ticket and handed it
back to the voter who had the same
placed in the ballot box. If the
ticket was voted in accordance with
the watchers instructions, a certain
sign was given and the money was
forthwith paid as soon as the voter
left the election room. 1t will thus
be seen that the law could be most
hagrantly violated, and that there
could be no substitution of tickets
so that that the certainty of the
delivery of the goods was beyond
question. The law passed at the
session of 1901 did away with these
two useful persons and compelled the
man to take his own ticket into the
booth and mark it by himself. The
occupation of the bride giver and
bride taker is thus practically abolish
ed, for it is a well-known fact that
anyone who will sell his vote cannot
be trusted, and therefore, honor
would be a small moment.
Bribery at elections is the most
serious blow that can be aimed at
the liberty of our public institutions,
and those ofus who would stamp out
the increasing curse are willing to
stand by and defend a law that has
for its purpose partial accomplish
ment of the desired end. 1t will be
hard for US to ever have a perfectly
pure election, but certainly we do not
wish to go on record as taking step
backward. Such as would be the case,
should the old ballot law adopted
under the Lowndes regime again be
re-enacted. We will gladly welcome
a change for the better, but instead
Of the Republicans offering us this,
they are harping upon the has beens
instead of looking forward to uplift
ing the means governing our suf-
lrage.
The present law of Maryland is
drawn on very much the same prin-

DUN'S REVIEW.

New YORK;. G. Dun and Co's. !,
weekly review of trade says in part:
Collections were notably prompt
at all leading centers, bearing testi-
mony to the strong financial posi-
tinn of the nations industries at the
opening of the new year. Distribu-
tion merchandise is heavy and many
manufacturers are pressed for
prompt delivery. Orders Tor spring
goods come freely and in some lines
there IS more than a sample business
in fall weights. The best evidence
as to cotton has been the continued
buying for export which has ex-
C -eded the expectations very large
~. The print cloth market has
ruled very firm with business re-
stricted by the reserve of sellers,
who show no disposition to make
concessions. As to woolen goods the
demand for overcoating for next fall
has not come up to expectations
which may be attributed in part to
the fact that the season opened un-
usually early. Prices are fully main
tanned at the opening level of the
season. Failures for the week num-
bered $50 in the United States
against 373 last year and "a in Can
ada compared with 27 year ago.

BODY TELE5COPED.

New York.-Thomas A. O'Donohue,
wealthy coffee importer and broker,
and a nephew of Ex-City Chamber
lain Joseph J. O'Donohue. who was
popularly known as the "Coffee King,
leaped from a window in bis apart
ments on the seventh floor of the Oa-
monde Apartments, Seventeen street
and Broadway, and was killed by the
impact with the sidewalk.
Mr.. O'Donohue had been i'll with
typhoid fever, and during the momen-
tary absence of his nurses, and while
delirious he left his bed, raised the
window, which had been fastened, and
jumped out, uttering ye as he left
the window sill. The distance to the
street was seventy feet. A negro who
attends the main corridor was sweep
ing rugs on the sidewalk, when he
was nearly knocked from his feet by
the crash of Mr.. O'Donoh1e's body,
not three feet from him. The boy
said that the sick mans feet struck
first and that his body seemed to tele-
scope itself.

COLORADO POLITICS.

Denver, Col.-The legislature has
completed its organization and the
house committee on elections and
privileges will at once proceed To-
hear the evidence in the numerous
contests ON which hangs the cleo
tion of a United States senator.
The republicans opposed to the can
didacy of former Senator Walcott
who were enabled to organize the
house by the aiu of the democrats,
have guaranteed that all contests
SHALL be tried on their merits and no
member be arbitrarily expelled
without a fair trial. Mr.. WalcOtt
says he will stay in the contest to
the end, but he believes that the
deal between his republican oppo-
nents and the democrats means the
election of Senator Teller. The bal
loting for senator will begin Janu
ary 20.

SULTAN SHUTS HIM UP.

London. The Taagier CORES
pondent of the Morning Leader says
in a dispatch: The sultan, fearful
of the growing popularity of his
brother, Mulai Mohammed, has or
dered him to be imprisoned again.
The American protestant mission
aries have been compelled to leave
Fez. TIE situation is serious. The
Times publishes a dispatch from
Tangier saying that the news re-
seived there from Fez under date OF
January 4 is less satisfactory than
former reports. The Hainer tribe,
whose treachery led to the recent
defeat of the sultan's troops, is re-
ported still to be aiding the rebels
In spite of its recent offers of submis-
sion. The situation undoubtedly is
serious, says the Times correspond
ent. The rebels are reported to be
nearing Fez and the sultan is re-
pairing the defenses of that city.
The people are discontented with
the action of the government and
ready to welcome the victor of the
struggle, whoever be may be.

attention to the fact that since the
civil war 10000 special bills had
been passed by congress, over 1000
of these in the first session of the

ri, on the conference committee on

FREE SPEECH
NOW CURBED.
Drastic Measures Obtain in Old

PRESS is BRIDLED.
Jails Filled With Leading Men
and Weasne 2eopIe Suffer
Silently Under "Crimes Act"

Dublin Ireland.-The remarkable
spectacle is presented in Ireland of
the country absolutely free from
"high crimes and misdemeanors,
which Is at the same time laboring
under the most drastic OF the many
coercive measures which have been
imposed upon it during its unhappy
history.
The result is the jails of the country
are filled with some OF the leading
men in political and educational life.
Even a woman is not sacred from the
grasp of the oppressor, for the plucky
proprietor of Waterford newspaper,
Mrs. O'Mahony. has felt the brunt of
England's attack on the right of free
speech.
In the twenty one western, mid
western and southwestern counties
where the suspension of the habeas
corpus act has bee proclaimed AMI
state of lawlessness is, by inference,
supposed to exist. the judges on the
winter circuit of the Assizes have been
in several cases presented with pairs
of white gloves The presentation OF
these gloves is time honored custom,
which indicates that the calendar o.
the country interested is entirely free
from felonous crime.
Notwithstanding these obvious dem
onstrations of the excellent morals of
the people the judges, who are all ap-
pointed through the machinery of
Dublin Castle, lose no opportunity to
make long speeches about lawless op-
position to constituted authorities"
and grayely warn the people that the
resources of the government will be
called into use to "repress any out
breaks"
But curiously enough there are no
outbreaks, nor are there any indica-
tions of any, and still the ''crimes
acts" is being proclaimed from day 10
day all over the country. Even Dub
lin, the most peaceable CT tie large
cities OF EurvpU, uud v-S wl.iSl- - -
gularly free from atrocious crimes, has
been placed under the ban, despite
the protests of its representative
councils.
The other day at Mullingar the pre-
siding Judge received from the grand
iury-of the country pair OF white
gloves. Immediately after that pro-
tes against the proclamation OF the
'crimes act" in the county was hand
ed up to him. The Judge, al ap-
pointee of Dublin Castle, of course,
read the protest, then to-e it into bits
Notwithstanding the fact that a few
minutes before he had expressed his
gratifcation because there was no i'm
portant case to be presented for trial,

plant will cover 300 acres and it

expected that within two years
time. the work will have advanced
so far that the first manufacture of
gas in the giagntlc plant will be
started. More than 500 mechanics
and laborers will shortly be put to
work. The plans for the plants have
been entirely completed. The plant

charged with unlawfully and will
fully killing seven prisoners of war
in Sama, last January, Louis E.
Caulfield, second lieutenant IN the
Philippine scouts, who was in COM
lnand of the detachment which
killed the native prisoners in ques-
tion, testified that while Major
Glenn directed that the guides be
executed if they failed to lead the
column to the enemy, he Lieut..
Caulfield, did not repeat Major
Glenn's orders to the detac hment.
He said he gave no orders for the
killing of the guides himself and
that their killing did not result
from the order issued by Major
Glenn. The prosecution is endeav-
oring to connect Major Glenn with
the killing by trying to show that
Ramos was present when Major
Glenn gave his orders to Lieut..
Caulfeld. The defense denies tina.
Ramos was present.
