Fill Out Your Terms.

Persons elected to public Offices should
FIJI out their terms Because Grover Cleve-
land, who was elected Sheriff and before
his term had expired was chosen Mayor,
and then Governor before his mayoralty
term was completed, and then President
before his term as Governor expired ; and
because Governor Smith went from the
State Senate to Congress and from Con-
gresS to the Executive chair without COM
pleting his term as Senator and Congress
man, is no reason why other people should
follow their example. While the control
of the next Legislature is vital matter
with the Democrats of the State, three
hold-over Democratic Senators are willing
to leave their seats for other places and
jeopardize Democratic control of the Senate.
Senator Jones, of Montgomery, wants 70 be
Governor Senator Lewis, Of Allegany,
wants to be Attorney General, and Senator
Applegarth, of Dorchester, wants 70 be
Comptroller Should these three get the
nominations they desire, one seat in the
Senate will be lost and two be left in the
balance. These gentlemen should ill
out their terms as Senators.

The State Convention.

The Democratic State Central Commit
tee will meet at the Eutaw House, Balti-
more. at l o clock next Thursday after
noon, to arrange for holding convention
to nominate candidates for Governor,
Comptroller and Attorney General.
There has been some talk of holding the
State Convention about the middle of Sep
tember Conventions are usually held on
Wednesday, and if the 10th of September
is selected, the county press will have just
six issues in which to make campaign,
as little can be done until State ticket is
named.
In 1857 the State Convention was held
July 27
In 1871 on July 80.
In 1895 on July 81.
In 1899 on August ,.
The convention this year should not be
held later than August II. There is no
good reason why it should be postponed
until the middle Of September.

Addicks Not Wanted.

Delaware for the purpose of getting a seat
in the United States Senate and who is
credited with debauehing voters with his
money in attempts to attain the goal of his
ambition, is said to have purchased Mount

Georges county, near Washington
Maryland wants immigrants, especially in
Southern Maryland, but not of the Ad-
dicks stripe He is politician, who de-
pends solely on the power of money to
further his ends and as he seems to have
a plenty of it he is a dangerous man to
have in any community. 1t is said Ad-
dicks will establish country club at Mount
Airy, where he can entertain his friends.

as resident of Maryland. There are

the recent Baltimore election. Two OF
them, both Democrats, were tried before

turned indictments today against ex-Superiu-
tendent Of Free Delivery August ". Machen,
Diler B. Croft, Samuel A. Croft, George h.
Lorenz and his wife, Mrs. Martha J. Lorenz,
of Toledo. Ohio, charging them with conspir-
acy to defraud the Government.
In general respects the Indictments are sim !.
liar to those returned recently by the grand
jury against Machen and the two Grofs. The
difference is that the indictments were re-
turned under differ mt sections Of the Revised
Statutes. The indi ctment against Machen al
leges that he viola ted Revised Statute 55Ol
by asking for and receiving bribe to intu-
ence his official action. The indictment
against the Croft brothers alleges they vio-
lated Revised Statut 5451 by paying bribe
to Machen. These indictments charge that
the five persons nan red violated Section $40
by entering into onspiracy to detraud the
Government. The penalty for this crime Is
$4,000 fine and i'm prisonment for not more
than three years.

The Next Legislature.

liz tne present LeSIiSldtuiS 'h0Ao SAlo -
Democrats and Republicans in the Senate
| and 81 Democrats and Al Republicans in
the House of Delegates. In the next Cen
eral Assembly, another Legislative district
| having been created in Baltimore City,
there will be y Senators and 1O1 mem
bers of the House.
OF the II hold,oyer Senators, I are
Democrats and 5 are Republicans. To
have majority in the next Senate the
Democrats must elect I, and the Repnbh-
cans will need g. If Lewis Putzel Re
publican, of Baltimore, was legislated out
of office in the arrangement of districts to
provide for a new one, the Republicans
will have to elect 10 Senators to control
the Senate.
In Baltimore City in the present Legisla-
ture the Democrats have , Senators and the
Republicans l, while the Republicans have
15 members of the House and the Demo
Gratis 3. In the next election the Demo
Gratis should hold their own in the Senate
and elect II members of the House, gain
Of 9. If the Democrats Of Baltimore do
their duty, they should gain one member
of the Senate and elect Is members of the
House
Senators are to be chosen in the counties
as follows: Anne Arundel, Baltimore,
Calvert. Carroll, Frederick, Garrett, How
ard, Kent, Queen Anne's, Somerset,
Washington and Wicomieo, Of these
twelve counties the Democrats have Sen
ators from eight. In the next election
they are liable TO lose in Frederick aud
Washington counties, leaving them six.
These with the hold-oyer Senators and
at least from Baltimore City, the Demo
crats viii have ) members in the next
Senate to y Republicans The Republi-
can Senator from Kent had but , ma
iority in 1899, and that county Is de-
batable. Washington county Is also a
close county. and the normal Democratic
majority in Carroll does not exceed l40 in
a registered vote of over 5000.
In Dorchester and Montgomery coantie,
the hold-oyer Democratic Senators have
aspirations for places on the State ticket.
Should these counties be called upon 10
elect Senators for the unexpired terms Of
the present Senators the party would have
to risk two more seats this year aud two
years hence would again have two seats in
