LOOK TO THE LEGISLATURE.
District No. u

1t is encouraging to all who desire
fair and honest elections in Maryland
to note that six months before the
meeting of the next legislature meas
ures are being discussed having these
ends in views. 1t is by no means too
early for popular agitation on this,
the most important matter which
will confront the voters at the fall
election. The experience at the May
election was so intolerable that even
those who profited by the result do
not care to repeat that experience.
The Election Law proved so defec-
tive in so many ways, so full of loop
holes for fraud, so capable of msin-
depreciation, that it is a disgrace to
the statue-books of Maryland. I'm
fortunately, it must be used for an
other election, as there seems to be
no disposition to call an extra session
of the legislature to give the state a
decent measure before the important
contest of next November.
Already have Democrats who know
that party success can not be per-
manent when attained by the man
ipulation of the voting list and ballot
boxes come forward with suggestions
for amendments which they belive
will remove the Objectionable fea-
lures. Others have under consider
alton antibribery. measures and cor
rupt practices acts, while still others
are devoting their attention to bet
terment of the cumbersome and ex-
pensive Primary Election Law. All
OF these men, we trust, are sincere in
their motives, but they must all re-
member that they can accomplish
nothing unless legislature is chosen
pledged to election reform-pledged
to correction of the outrageous
work done by the extra session of
1901. If the Maryland legislature
OF 1904 is to be a body of the same
character as that of 1901 or that of
1879, then all the election reforms
proposed will be killed by the same
influences that dominated the extra
session and gave to Maryland the
worst election law it ever knew.
1t is very plain from this that if
Maryland wants honest elections a
legislature must be elected which will
give it honest elections. This is it's
only hope. This is the whole matter
in nutshell. All the.drafts of desire
able measures, all the discussions, all
the resolutions passed by the clubs
from the first ward to the twenty
fourth, all the work of the Reformes
League and other bodies of similar
character, will go for naught unless
Maryland's legislature of 1904 is COM
posed of men who are honest, upright
and who are entirely independent of
those influences which put the pres
ent iniquitous measure on the Mary
land statue-books. A fight for honest
elections must, therefore, be first of
all fight for good legislature, and
unless this fight is won there will be
no better election law in 1904 than
there is to-day.

POLITICAL GOSSIP

With the advent of the autumnal
period and its attendant political ac-
tivities, which in the instance of Mary
land is of more than usual Importance,
since the two great parties will have
gubernatorial and legislative tickets
in the field, and the selection of an
United States Senator is likewise a
matter of moment, the Maryland
press, partisan and independent, has
undertaken a detailed and diversified
expression of its view and preferences,
which will continue through the cam
paign.
From the Dorchester Era.
1t is generally conceded that Cover
nor Lowndes gave Maryland the best
administration this state has had for
many years, and his return to the ex-
ecutive Office would be we'll received
by the people. In casting about for
a candidace whose record is clean, a
man of business ability and of the
highest dignity, one who is popular
with the voters, one who it seems is in
no sense welded to the machine"
the Republicans of the state can scarce.
ly make a wiser selection than Mr..
Lowndes.
If wisdom and genuine desire to
harmonic all difference in the par
ty are to guide our leaders in the COM
ing fight for supremacy in the state
permit us to suggest combination
something like this: For Governor,
Lloyd Lowndes; attorney general,
Stevenson A. Williams; comptroller to
be selected from either Dorchester or
Talbot.

Two THINGS will be noticed in con-
nection with the postal scandals. One
is that the wrongdoers are Icing sum-
marily dealt with. The other is that
most of them were in office before
President Roosevelt entered the
White House, and some of them were
in before Mr.. Mckinley was inaugu-
rated. There is no politics in irregu-
larities. Democrats as we'll as Repub-
licans are involved in them. The
man whose name has been most con-
spicuous connected with the scan
dals, Machen, is Democrat. The
politics of the offenders, how
eyer, will not be considered in the
matter. All will have to go as soon
as detected. Whatever punishment
is provided by the law will be inflict-
ed on all of them, regardless of the
name of the President who was in
Office at the time their connection
with the department began and re-
gardless of their political affiliations.

Aged 1O2 Years and Active.

Aliying centenarian is always per-
son of great interest whether in high
or low estate, as there are so few of
them. Only very few know we
have one quite near us-Mrs. Hannah
Petit, living at Sinclairsville, on the
opposite side of the river from Cum
berland. She will be 102 years old on
the 18th of this month. She is the
widow of Churchwell Petit, who died
about 40 years ago. She is still active
and bright in mind for one of such
a grett age.

HOUSE ROBBED.

Residence of William Edgar, Near Hoyes,
Entered and Robbed of Cash.
Last Monday while away from home
attending the funeral of a cousin the
residence of Mr.. and Mrs. William
Edgar, near Hoyes, was entered by
some person unknown and robbed of
$50 in cash. Nothing else was taken
by the thief or thieves so far as can
be learned.
Entrance to the house was effected
by climbing upon porch roof and
forcing a window into the hallway of
the house. The money was kept in a
trunk, the lock of which was broken
and the cash extracted. There is no
clue that will lead to the identity of
the!guiltY party or parties.

From the Hartford Democrat.

From the Hartford Democrat.
During the past week the political
horizon has shown some unexpected
clouds lowering over the aspirants for
gubernatorial honors of the two great
parties that promises to disturb the
harmony at the primaries that was
foreshadowed earlier in the canvass.
Hon. Spencer G. Jones, of Montgom-
cry, has formally announced his can
didacy in opposition to Hon. Edwin
Warfield, who previously had the
field to himself on the Democratic
side. Mr.. Jones has been clerk of the
Court of Appeals, and was one CT the
prominent party leaders in the state
Senate at it's last session. He is a man
of ability, of attractive personality
and has many followers. He is for
midable opponent, and if he make a
state contest Mr.. Warfield will be
obliged to hustle to win. On the Re-
publican side report has it that the
state committee meeting was only har-
monious as to the plan for the prima-
ries. The McComas Stone faction
agreed on slate for governor and
senator, but Mudd, Watcher, Lowndes
and Jackson hobnobbed together,re-
fused to subscribe to the McComas
slate and are considering Lowndes or
Watcher for governor and Jackson or

In the umbrella contest, between
Miss Maud Wolf and Miss Helen
Swami, both prominent and hand
some young ladies of this place, insti-
tuted by the Ladies Aid Society of the
NJ. E. Church, Miss Wolf was the sue
cessful contestant. We understand
the society realized handsome sum
of money through the efforts of the
young ladies, and that Miss Swami
was literally rewarded for her work.
The railroad signal life and limb pro-
tector at the B. s. O. crossing still
maintains its reputation of being
public liar of the very worst kind.
The proper adjustment of its mechan-
ism, SO that it might become useful
and reliable guardian for the safety
OF our citizens, seem to be problem
very difficult to solve. Some half
dozen B. & o. electrical experts have
been unable to get conception of its
devilish nature and have given it up
in disgust. 1t pays no attention to
the approach of trains and frequently
rings day and night for a week at a
time. There would be very few re-
grets If the thing would ring and ring
until it rung its clapper off.
A handsome premium will be given

Mr.. Harry Cross, the unfortunate
young man, who fell a victim to
very severe type of disease, is quaran-

Oakland District E. L. Convention.

Oakland District Z. l.. Convention.
The Oakland District Epworth
League Convention held in Rowles-
burglast week was very gratifying. On
Tuesday night the local chapter gave
a literary program to a full house.
The young people acquitted them
selves very well and every one seemed
to enjoy themselves. The address of
welcome was delivered by the pastor
Rev. E. P. Idleman, and the response
was made by Rev. J. B. Workman of
Davis, W. Va, in his happy way. On
Wednesday the regular printed pro-
gram was taken up. A number of
those on the printed program were
not present, but various delegates
discussed the various topics, and in a
lively manner. AT p. IN. the election
of officers took place, which resulted
in the election of Rev. J. B. Work
man of Davis, w. Va, as President
and Miss Ella Laughlin as Secretary.
AT night DR.. W. L. Dixon gave lee
ture on The Golden Triangle"
which was very much enjoyed by the
large congregation. 1t was said to be
one of the best E. L. Conv entions
ever held within tn bounds of the
Oakland District. There were fifty
six delegates and visitors present.

ENGINEER ovERLOoKS SIGNAL
Trains Collide and one Man IL killed,
One Fatally aud Engineer
Seriously Injured.

CHEYENNE, Wyo., Jan. 1l.-tSpecial
Telegram) Two freight trains met head
on near Harper's Station shortly after
O'Clock this morning. Fireman Scalill Of
Cheyenne was killed. Brakeman II. s.
Weick of Laramie was fatally hurt and En-
gineer J. ID. Rinder OF Cheyenne lost a foot
and sustained other serious injuries.
First No. q, Engineer Rinder, who was
making his first trip west of Laramie. had
orders to meet a special freight eastbound
at Rock River. The orders we're later
changed, the special coming to Harpers for
No. q. The order to No. 21 was put out at
Harpers, the meeting point, but owing to a
binding storm and the road being strange
to him Engineer Rinder did not see the sig
nal and ran by Harpers, meeting the east
bound train on a heavy grade one-Quarter
of a mile west Of the station. The operator
at Harpers. seeing that No. q was not
stopping, put out a fusee, which attracted
the attention OF Conductor Cook, who set
the airbrakes and had almost stopped the
train when the collision occurred
Fireman Scalill was pinned against the
boiler head and was literally roasted alive
Brakeman Weick was lying on top of the
fireman, but away from the boiler head. He
sustained internal injuries and will die.
The track was torn up and traffic delayed
for seven hours. Rinder and Weick were
taken to a Denver hospital and the remains
Of Scalll will be taken dast to his old home
for burial.

HARD TO DETERMINE VENUE
Difficult Problem Arises in Fixing
JurisdictiOn I'm Indian Murder
Case.

James w. Davis and Howard Mckee.
charged with the murder OF Little Jim Of
the Winnebago agency, are now in Dakota
county, where they were taken yesterday
by the sheriff of tnat county. having been
turned over by the federal authorities Sun
day.
The men we're arrested and bound over TO
await the action OF the federal grand jury
following the death Of Little jim" and
were brought to the Douglas county Jail A
number OF witnesses were called before the
jury, but few testified. The attorneys for
the accused Indians alleged that the crime,
II any, had not been committed upon tho
reservation, but in Dakota county, which
will give the state jurisdiction to the ex-
clusion of the federal government. This
fact was brought to the attention of the
district attorney, and after time he con-
scented to drop the proceedings before the
federal grand jury and leave the matter in
the hands of the Dakota county authorities.
1t is said that the question OF jurisdlc-
tion will be hard to settle, as the fight in
which the victim was killed occurred so
close to the Dakota -Thurston county line
that it may be necessary to determine the
venue by survey.
