POLITICS In MARYLAND.

Some enthusiastic Republicans
profess to see in the gubernatorial
campaing in Maryland a situation
that bears on the candidacy for
Vice-President with Mr.. Roose-
welt. But these live in Maryland
exclusively.
What the campaign does mean.
more than anything else, is the
possibility of Senator Arthur Pue
German going before the Demo-
cratic National Convention as a
candidate for the Presidency.
German wants the nomination. no
doubt. There are many Demo
Gratis favorable to him. It is
thought he would control a large
portion of the disaffected Republi-
can vote because of his sympathy
with the policy of Protection. He
would be poor candidate if he
should lose his own State to the
Republicans this Fan.-ColIier's

ecuting case in which they have
no personal interest. but are Maid
to prosecute IT'D can not be expect
ed TO take any other view than
that of the prosecution. LAWYERS
for the defense will act. in the same
manner, for the defense. They
are paid to do this, just as much as
our subscribers pay us to send
them paper, or just as much as
you pay your groceryman for a
certain service. A statement of
alawyer published in a newspaper
does not necessarily become view
or opinion of the editor, when he
gives his authority for the state
ments. But, when he fails to give
his authority, the editor becomes
personally responsible for the
statements, and should be willing
to abide by the consequences of
such statements at any time snd
place. We very often see cases of
two attorneys being on opposite
sides In one suit in court, and on
the very next case they are asso-
clated. In the first case they may
call each other by every name al
lowed or permitted by the Judge.
In the second case, they unite in
calling the opposition by the same
selection of names, or maybe worse.
We do not deny that the argu-
ment of lawyers has it's effect on
Juries. Any observing person can
see that illustrated in our own
courts any time. Some time in
the hazy future we may hope for
a statement of cases Gin facts and
submission to juries without any
highfalutin oratory. Then we can
expect verdicts that will be popu-
lar and more nearly just. On Just
such view we believe the Tillman
jury was unanimous. Put your
self in his place" What would

of the COURIER should accuse YOU,
personally and politically, of being

AS predicted in the COURIER of
last week, the jury in the Tillman
case at Lexington, S. c., rendered
a verdict of mot Guilty" We
believe now, as we have from the
first, that Tillman did not act diff
ferently from what might be ex-
pected from any other man under
the same circumstances. We firm
ly believe that the true idea to a
jury should be Put yourself in
his place" And a verdict becomes
a matter of better judgment. A
law ceases to be a law when it is
not observed by majority of the
people, and we think the Tillman
case illustrates this very plainly.

An experience with county officers
In many different States. and of a
wide range of political beliefs,
leads us to say, without any fear
of contradiction, that Clarke coun-
ty has as good COR better) county
officers as any County in any State
in the Union. Under all circum-
stances you will find them uni
formly courteous and obliging. At
the present time the Treasurer's
Office presents a very busy scene,
as the tax bills are now being made
out for collection. Every cent
of the county's money is account
ed for, every care is taken to avoid
the possibility of error, and every
possible safeguard is placed on the
books and accounts of the people.
Could anyone wish for any better
display of care and courteous judy
ments We think not. And we
hope and believe that the vote cast
for these officers will be an inn
mense demonstration of the esteem
in which they are held, both ofici-
ally and personally.

THAT SMALLPOX EPIDEMIC.

We learn from the papers pub
hshed In surrounding towns that
smallpox CD now raging at Summit
Point was taken there from Clarke
county. A very careful investiga-
ton has failed TO find the place
from which it was taken, as no
disease of that character is or has
been reported anywhere in this
county. From ali we can hear.
there seems to be a very grave
doubt as to its being smallpox. 1t
seems to us that the papers of
which we speak would do we'll to
get the facts Of the case before they
attempt to place the blame upon
the people of Clarke county. We
have an idea that the statement
originated in a dispatch to the
Baltimore Sun from Winchester.
and as all of the publications bear
evidence of having been clipped
from the esteemed Sunpaper, we
think that ought to silence the hub
bub. They have been accepting
hearsay evidence-which, in this
case, happens to be very poor evil
dence.

HIS EDITORIAL VIEWS.


In carrying out our purpose of
placing before our readers the
opinions and views of Hon. w. r.
Hearst, we here quote from some
of his signed editorials on political
topics:
My interest is in the average
citizen, that he may secure a fair
share of the advantages of pros
perity. The Democratic man
must join with the laboring citizen,
the backbone of the nation. | do
not seek to divide the nation into
classes. : The editors person
al success should be contingent on
the faithfulneSs of his leadership.
PROSPERITY can not last if its
fruits are TO be more and more
absorbed by tariff-protected Trusts
and Trusts that protect themselves
by killing competition. =
The Trusts and the Republican
party are allied, as everybody
knows"
1.-THE Democrats would succeed,
they must establish with labor the
relationship which the Republicans
have established with the Trusts. !"
There cannot be good govern
ment or enduring prosperity while
our Republic is ruled by its money
and not its manhood.
1t is Democratic mission to
war on that hateful spirit of sec
tionalism which for political pur-
poses would array one part of the
American people against the other.
Recent attempts to revive old en-
mites, to stir up race hatred and
unsettle peaceful social conditions
in the South, have had the effect of
revealing a powerful Northern
sentiment which rebukes those dis
turbing attempts and demands that
politicians shall leave the South
alone, while it works out in its own
way the solution of the race
problem. -
The Coal Trust is a perfect
specimen of the Criminal Trust. ;"
Trades Unionism is the seed
out of which will grow a union of
the people in behalf of the princi-
pie of equal rights and no privi-
leges. 1t will be a potent
factor in enforcing upon all minds
the knowledge that it is dignified
to work, and that the better organ
lied the workers are, the higher
their pay, the more advantageous
for society,""
Allrecent political events prove
that the great political force resid-
ing in a combination of Trusts and
Republicanism can be met success
fully by combination of Labor
and Democracy. -
Genuine Democracy is the party
of Labor and Labor belongs natur-
ally to Democracy. They must
work together"
One fact that Democrats who
lead, or aspire to lead, the party
must have firmly in mind"
They cannot resolve to unite
with the great body of Labor and
expect union to result therefrom."
They must deserve the Union"
The result of every serious
Democrat should tend to a union
of organized Labor with the Dem
ocratic party. The effort of every
Democrat in Office should be to
nerit that union"
To the extent trades unions
raise wages they tell for true rel-
gion and the kind of civilization
hat Is best worth having-the
zind that helps the many to lead
decent, comfortable, self-respect-
ng lives and gives their children
