THE MARYLAND CAMPAIGN.

Stevenson Archer Williams by the Re

thing remarkable, wholesome and very

no suggestion of the ridiculous when the

| bearer. He made his reputation as IL
| relentless opponent of political fraud and
is the champion of fair elections and the
suppression of bribery at the polls.
The Democratic candidate is Edwin
Wartield. one of the most distinguished
| citizens of the State, and one of his car
dnal principles is unalterable opposition
| to the use of money in elections or in

| man of great strength, though not nomin-
| atcd, in the last Gubcrnatorial campaign,
four years ago, and the managers wish

he would not buy the place, and then it
| was decided that he was the man simply
because "his popularity with the rank

come"
The campaign will be fought on State
questions entirely. No attempt will be
made to bcfog the issue by bringing in
| the tariff or the hundred other questions
which, in an off year. are meant to mis-
lead. The rival candidates are personal
friends; the campaign will be clean and
dignitied; they respect each other and the
people Of the State respect them both.

Father Valentine At The ElktOn CalhOli,
Church.

AS stated in our last issue. Rev. Father
AIRY of the Passionist Order, held mis-
sion for communicates last week in the
Elkton Catholic Church, and followed it
this week with series of lectures upon
announced subjects to non-communicants.
On Sunday night, an interesting service
consisted in the installation of Lea
que of the Sacred Heart among the
members of the Church, which embraced
large number of persons who presented
themselves ut the church altar. Father
Valentine will preach at Chesapeake
City on Sunday morning, and also lee
ture there next Monday, Tuesday and
Wednesday.
Father Valentines lecture on "Educa-
ton and the Home" delivered on We'd
nesday evening, was IA thoughtful and
timely presentation of an important sub
ject, which he treated from broad and
comprehensive standpoint. In his opin-
ion, the great defect in our existing sys-
TEN of public education is the failure to
incorporate with it moral and religious
teaching. That it cultivates the intellect
but does not address or reach the heart
1t sharpcns the wit, but does not develop
the morals. That true system, should
develop concurrently the head and the
heart. the cultivation and development
of mans affections, being as essential for
the development of his highest character
as the cultivation of his intellect In
support of his views, Father Valentine
quoted the opinions of number of
prominent publicists of this country. who
see a future danger to the peace of the
Nation in the fact that less than fifty
per cent. of the children of the country
are receiving any religious instruction,
and that our public system is practically
Goddess, in the sense of not recognizing
the Importance of some concurrent reli-
gious instruction. This failure throws
upon the home the task of religious train
ing, and hence the necessity for reli-
gious home life. Father Valentines adj
dress was liberal, thoughtful and entirely
undenominational.

fraud; sincere demand for pure cleo
tons; clean and dignified contest; the
people urging the nomination of the best
men for the highest office and asserting
their rights-al this sounds like report
from some Utopia, but it comes from the
very human State of Maryland. where
two parties are rather evenly balanced;
where many men of the highest character
take Il real interest in their State and its
good fame. ana where there is IL large
body of independent voters who put both
parties on their good behavior.
