HOW SbrE MONEY HELPS.

1t is easy to see that the stable
monetary system of the country has
done much in the past week or two
to avert a financial crash. Had a
reduction in quotations occurred dur
ing the old greenback initiation days
previous to 1879 at all approaching
the present shriukage in extend and
duration, a panic would have taken
place, says the Globe Democrat. Had
this occurred during the silver dilutlon
OF half a score of years ago a smash
up could not have been prevented.
The CONFUSION of 1878 and also that
of 1898 would probably have been av-
erted had the currency of the coun-
try been on the solid basis upon
which it was placed a few years ago.
The repeal, in the latter part of
1898, of the purchase clause of the act
of 1890, stopped the silver dilution.
The Republican victory of 1896, sup
plemented by the gold standard act
of Nj ch, 1900, placed the currency
of the country safely on the gold ba-
sis. Such supplementary legislation
as, in the opinion of some persons,
may be needed to remove all fears of
the possibility of the maintenance of
the gold standard will probably be
had soon. While the Republican
party remains in power the gold
standard is safe. AS the party stands
an excellent chance to retain sway at
least four years longer, nobody is
nervous over the monetary situation.
This is great staying force in the
business situation. The United
States has today as sound a currency
as England or any of the other gold
standard countries. 1t will be sound
so long as the Republican party re-
mains in power. There is no way of
preventing the Democrats from up
setting this currency if they get a
President and both branches of Con-
gress, but the fact that there would
be menace of this in the success of
the Democracy is one of the reasons
why such success is not near. The
solid and safe circulating medium for
which the Republican party is chiefly
accountable is the force which stead
les the country's financial balance
wheel and prevents the Wall street
wreckers from bringing a business
crash.

TIL re Snakes VIII Have to be "Rs,a,,sa -

The Snakes Will Have to be "RetaiIed -
One day last week Mr.. Thomas b.
Wiley was cutting some grass on his
farm with a moving machine when
he ran into number of rattlesnakes
with bad results to at least two of the
reptiles and in consequence the vi
cinity of Bittiuger is poorer by one
snake and a portion of another.
Mr.. Wiley says that he was on the
moving machine when one of the
snakes put up his head and tail just
in front of the cutting bar which Sc

gone but short distance further be-
fore the tail of another showed up.

To BE Held In Oakland Saturday After
noon and Evening. August 20th.
Messrs. T. A. Kimmell and J. w.
Whorton, who for some months have
conducted fiddler's contests in this
and adjoining counties in West Vir-
ginia, have arranged to conduct an
entertainment upon similar lines in
Oakland on Saturday afternoon and
evening, August Goth, in the opera
house, the admission to which will be
for the afternoon performance 20 and
30 cents, and for the evening enter
tainment %, 35 and 50 cents.
The six famous Browning Brothers,
tiddlers all their lives, will be the
leading attraction during the two
performances. Then there will be
the unique Gus erosion who does all
sorts of stunts on the stage with his
violin. These with other violinists
from all sections will furnish a day of
unexcelled pleasure. Another class
will also take part in the contest
being composed entirely of profess
ionals or those playing by note
only.
\ contest between well known clog
dancers will be another feature.

THE BOSS-RIDDEN DEMOCRACY.

Former Governor Frank Brown
has come out in one of his character
istic interviews protesting against
the action of the Democratic mana
gers in making up a ticket III ad-
vance of an expression of the will of
the people. Mr.. Brown draws dis
tinction between a conference open
to all party leaders and star cham
Der proceeding in which only self
constituted dictators take part.
why" he asks, should men who
would be afraid to submit themselves
to a personal contest before the peo-
pie assume to pick candidates for the
party at large to support, and there
by almost do away with the work of
conventions, except for the purpose
of ratification of the candidates Sc
lected by this leadership, and relegate
the masses of the party to the rear
altogether for both nominations and
appointments
The former Governors idea of the
proper method of holding councils is
given as follows:
Party conferences are always adyis-
able when the motive is for the bene-
tit of the party at large, and not for
furthering personal ambitions; but
all such gatherings should be held in
the most open way, and all Demo
Gratis who are DESTROYS of being heard
should be given an opportunity. Ex
change OF ideas and suggestions from
one to another are frequently ben
fetal, but the latchstring should hang
out for all party people, and the
number should be unlimited. All
such conferences for party manage
ment should be open and free, WITH
due notice, and at some convenient
point accessible to all who desire to
be heard.
Every Democrat with an iota of
Democratic spirit in his composition
will recognize the force and Justice
of the criticism, but Mr. Brown ought
to have learned long time ago that
spasmodic protest is perfectly useless.
The men who happen to be in con-
troll of the machinery look upon it as
their personal property, and they are
as despotic and impervious to criti-
cism as the Car of Russia. Even
that mighty potentate is not more
contemptuous of the masses" who,
according to Governor Brown, should
have some say about things, than are
the self-same party managers.
And they will meyer learn. Men
who have passed through the expert
ences of 1895, 1897 and subsequent
years, and who in 1908 are going
along in precisely the same old rut
serenely unconscious of the changes
that have taken place in the political
motives andmethods il this common
wealth, will never see the light. In
stead of throwing an occasional bomb
into 1.-THE camp, Mr.. Brown and those
who share his views should make a
resolution, all-the-year-round war
fare, and never stop until the Demo-
cratic party in Maryland is freed
from,the slavery in which the bosses
hold it.

THE TICKET.

Tuesday was a veritable love feast
among the Republicans of Garrett
when the representatives of that
party assembled from every district
in the county at Oakland so place in
nomination a ticket to be voted for
at the election to be held in Novem-
Der next.
That the convention did its work
well and discharged its duty faith
fully is unquestioned by all fair-mind-
ed, liberal and patriotic Republicans,
as a glance at the ticket printed in
another column will prove beyond
doubt. 1t is a ticket that can and

and collectively, are clean. represent
ative and progressive citizens of the
county, and by their elevation to the
several offices for which they are
candidates nothing will be detracted
from the bright record of the Repub-

General Agent of the Prisoners, Aid As
ISOLATION Reports on Condistionsof the
Garrett Comfy Ja".
Rev. William G. Stoudenmire, gem
eral agent of the Maryland Prisoners
Aid Association, who visited Oakland
last Thursday and inspected the jail
here, made the following report con-
corning the building which was pub
lished in Mondays Baltimore Sun:
1.-The Jail at Oakland contained 70
prisoners white male, white fe-
male and colored male. Three pris-
oners are held on charges of assault to
kill, one for attempted assault, one
for forgery, and the other on petty
charges. This Jail is in bad sanitary
condition and is also unsafe. Three of
the prisoners recently escaped. The
grand jurors for some time have been
condeming this Jail as being both I'M
safe and unsanitary, and the judges
have been confirming their reports.
The board OF health has also condemn
ed this Jail. earnestly hope that the
county commissioners will doa3 they
promised some time ago and see that
this reproach is removed by building
modern Jail. The sheriff, Mr.. W. a.
Maffet, and his deputy, Mr.. Frank
Calls, are doing all they can for the
saftey and health of the prisoners.
Religious services are not held regu-
larry in this Jail. This is matter to
be deplored, particularly as there are
so many Christian workers in Oak
land.
Il held religious services in the
above institution and distributed re-
ligious literature as needed"

Narrowly Escaped Being Killed.

Elizabeth, the little two year old
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Edwin L.
Mitchell, of Oakland, while playing
in the yard surrounding the house
last Thursday afternoon, was attack
ed by COW which was pasturing in
the lot. The child saw the animal
approaching and ran to the fence
screaming so loudly that the atten-
ton of Mrs. Harry Helbig, neigh
bor was attracted, who took in the
situation at a glance. Mrs. Helbig
hastened to the rescue of the little
girl and succeeded in drawing her
over the fence a moment before the
COW reached the spot where she had
been standing. 1t was narrow es
capae from a horrible death. The
COW was enragedat red coat worn by

With Mines of that State.


With Mines of that State.
The Oakland base ball players left
here on Tuesday morning for
points in West Virginia where a
series of five games will be played
this week, the first one at Grafton
which came off the same afternoon.
From Grafton the club went to
Clarksburg where a game was played
yesterday and to-day they will cross
bats with the Warrington nine. To-
morrow another game will be played
with Grafton and on Saturday they
will stop off on their way home and
clean up on Rowlesburg.
The nine is extremely strong, hav-
ing with it two batteries composed of
Fay and Humbird and Pattison and
Erwin. The other players are Messrs.
Devries, Shaffer, Rasche, Bradley,
Orr, Carr and Gender.
Our special reporter, Mr.. Harry
Rasche, has promised to send results
of each game as it is played.
AT Grafton the Oakland team lost
by a score of 4 to 3 and at Clarksburg
yesterday the same fate was meted
out the score being 10 to9.

You will pardon this seeming neg

this place but when l tell you sick
ness is my plea know you will read

Since my last communication many
things have transpired that would
have been interesting but are now
stale. For instance, the Bazaar with
its many attractions aud the promi-
nent visitors attending, but like float
ing time it is past, and we cast about
for something more recent.
We had a pleasant call from Mr..
Ralph Engle on his way as a delegate
to YOUR County Convention which
convened Tuesday.
Mrs. Rev. Joseph Lee and her two
daughters left this morning for their
home in Wheeling after spending
some time with relatives here.
l.. G. Hendrickson of. the Interior
Department at Washington, spent
last Sabbath with his family who are
stopping for the summer at Five.
Gables in Deer Park.
Mrs. A. G. Orbello was called to her
home in Washington owing to the ex-
IRENE illness of her aged mother.
This esteemed lady has the sympathy
of her many friends in Deer Park
where she has spent her summers for
eighteen years.
We were pleased to meet our young
friend, Mr.. AID Laughlin, now spend
ing his vacation at Mountain Lake
Park, who but recently sold his prop
erty in this place to Mr.. G.. w. Lohm,
one of our most worthy citizens and
an efficient engineer of the Baltim ore
and Ohio.
Messrs. Adams and Blackstone, of
Ohio, arrived this morning to spend
the autumn. They have spent the
past five years here. Both are great
sufferers from hay fever.
Mrs. Daniel Entler and two sons left
a lew days ago for their far-away
home on the Pacific Coast, and it is
with feelings of sadness we mention
this, for as a relative of this estimable
lady, the separation left the thought:
We may never meet again in the flesh
as over three thousand miles is long

To the wealthy, distance is only a
trifle; but we hope to meet again in
this life, and the refrain comes to US
