Let the Contest Go On.

The Democrats achieved victory in
Baltimore last Tuesday, They did not
get all that was hoped for, but they will
control the city government. Several
causes contributed to this result.
First, there was fair primary election
under a fair law Every Democrat felt
that he could go to the polls and vote di-
rectly for the candidate of his choice and
have his vote counted as cast This in
spired the confidence of all the voters and
an unusual interest was taken in the pri-
mary.
Second, those taking part in the pri-
mary felt in honor bound to abide by the
result, and they numbered more than
40, 600
Third, the action of the primary resulted
in the nomination of men of unblemished
character and ability, standing for good
government and progress. Their character
was a guarantee of honest endeavor to full
FL pledges. and Democrats not taking
part in the primaries espoused their cause,
Fourth. the belief that in the event of
the election of the Democratic nominees
white men would be given the preference
in work on public improvements; that Ne
groes would aot swarm the City Hall, and
would not become presumptious and want
to take the town.
The contest was in large degree fight
for the supremacy of the white race, who
pay nearly all the taxes and should con
troll the levying and disbursement Of the
same. Besides, the intelligence Of the
State is almost exclusively confined to the
white people. and that race is the better
fitted to govern
The fight, SO uobly won in the city,
should now be continued until the white
race is firmly established in control of the
State. The Republican party is SO de
pendent upon the Negro vote that should
it succeed it could not ignore the eolored
people. And since the United States Su-
preme Court has upheld the constitutions
of Southern States limiting Negro suffrage,
if the white people of Maryland do not
also limit Negro suffrage the State viii
soon be overrun with Negroes from the
South and be hopelessly Negroized. Il
therefore behooves the white people Of
Maryland to continue their organization
for white supremacy. If the Republican
party, with its more than fifty thousand
Negro voters, be allowed to gain the as
eendancy in November, the leaders will at
once proceed to entrench the party in
power and make its dislodgement impossi-
bic. With its vote increased by Negroes
from the States further south, worse than
bad government viii result, the peace Of
society be menaeed, progress be retarded
and property values fall
The ills of Republican asceudancy are
not here overdrawn, and the white people
Of Maryland are warned that peace, pros
perity and progress can only be maintained
through the aseendaney Of the Democratic
party-the white mans party. This as
eendancy can only be made secure by lin
Ting Negro suffrage 20 that the Negroes Of
the South win not make Maryland their
political Mecca. Hundreds Of them have
already come here from North Carolina and
Virginia. They will come by the thou
sands if something is not done to check
than

Scarcity of Cotton seed,

1t is estimated that about three.
fourths of the cottQn-seed product
mills of Texas have shut down on
account of the scarcity of the seed.
The mills have been paying from
eight to ten dollars per ton for the
late pickings; but it is of poor quail
ity and will make inferior stock. In
spite of poorer quality they expect
to get higher prices for the products,
however, on account of the scarcity
of the seed. Although a little cot
ton is opening, most of the bolls that
have been hanging on the stalks have
rotted: and there is no prospect of
further receipts Of seed of good quail
ity. There is no prospect that feed
ers will be able to get their cotton,
seed meal at any better figures dur
ing the next ~ months.

THE GOOD ROADS IDEA.
Pennsylvania ApprOprintes six and
One-Half Million Dollars to
Help 1t Along.

The leaven of road improvement
seems to be working in all parts of the
United States. An eastern man. who
has recently taken trip through Tex
as, says the enthusiasm with which the
people have taken up the good roads
idea" j. wonderful. In some counties
they are in danger of going wild" on
the subject. Funds are being raised
mainly by issue of county bonds.
In Pennsylvania. the state idea has
taken firm hold, The plan Just
adopted is for the state, the county
and the township to cooperate in
the work of building and improving
the roads. The state is to pay two
thirds of the expense. and the county
and township in which the work is
done each one-siXth of the expense.
The state has made available for this
purpose $500 900, to be expended dur
ing the next few years.
The principle involved in the state
aid plan is exactly the same as that in
volved in the scheme for national aid
which has developed such popularity
recently. The fundamental idea of
both is that road improvement is not
merely matter Of LOGAN interest and
possibility, but matter of inter-
est and concern to the whole people;
or, to put ii another way, road build
ing is coming to be viewed as a species
of internal improvement" belonging
in the same class as river and harbor
improvements.
Another reason why national and
state aid are becoming so popular is
the realization that, unless something
of the kind j. adopted. the burden of
bad roads, like the poor, will be al
ways with US. The bottomless roads
of the country constitute a sort of
slough of despond" i'm which the peo-
pie are destined to founder until some
one comes along to help them out. In
fact the expense for improving the
roads in many localities is burden
which the local population is wholly
unable to bear. 1T is believed that
wheneSer the state or the nation
reaches out a helping hand to such
communities, they will grasp il and
bend all their energies to the great
work of improving their highways,
but they will never undertake the job
without help from the outside.
The frequent spring rains made the
roads almost impossible in a majority
Of the local communities throughout
the eastern half of the United States.
Perhaps this is one of the reasons why
the good roads idea is uppermost in
so many minds.
