The democratic situation in the State is
very much mixed, says the Herald, and
the question agitating not only the friends
of the candidates but politicians who are
generally we'll informed is, will it b
Jones or Warfeld. Even the leaders are
up i'll the air pending the return of Sen
ator German. Some declare for one can
didate and some for another, but the
great majority are non-committal. They
want to know the probable winner before
taking sides.
1t was thought that at the meeting OF
the state central committee a sentiment
would develop which would enable those
ON the fence to tumble into the band
wagon, but the county people, with few
exceptions, were as undecided as their
city brethren. All agreed that either
candidate for the nomination of governor
was acceptable, but they were chary in
giving an opinion as to which of the two
they preferred.
1t seems to be the consensus of opinion
that no matter who wins the guberna-
torial prize, the comptroller must come
from the Eastern Shore. Otherwise the
republicans will have the advantage III
the First district. OF the various candi-
dates named Senator Thomas A. Smith,
of Caroline, has the call. Isaac Lobe
Straus has the backing of a number Of

That Postoffice Scandal.

The investigation of the rotten system
in the postoffice department is developing
some more rascals, but there are much
more serious scandals yet to be unearthed
involving officials of high degree. 1t is
hardly likely that the whole truth will be
known, for even if congressional nves-
tigation was ordered it would be in the
hands of the administrationists, who are
interested i'll suppressing the facts that
could be uncovered. The railroad mail
service offers fine field for exploration
aud if some of the reports are true that
are openly talked of in Wash .ngton, the
worst scandal by far has not yet been de-
veloped. Any administration long con-
tinued in power is bound TO become cor
rupt when the control of vast sums is
given into the hands of spoilsmen. The
"star route" frauds would never have
been unearthed il a democratic congress
had not been elected, and the whole truth
about present conditions will be concealed
until the voters conclude to give an
opportunity of cleaning the Augean
stables. Fraud and corruption are rarely
uncovered by the political friends oil
those guilty of the crimes, and the only
hope of the country is a periodical change
of administration to unearth and expose
the sins of commission aud omission OF
their opponents. There are so many
congressman aud senators who are direct.
" or Indirectly involved that great Dres.
sure will be brought to bear on the mos,
honest officials to let up for "the cool Of
the party."-Sagiuaw News.

The Pacific cable was completed at
Honolulu on July a, and President Roose-
welt sent message which circled the
globe in twelve minutes elapsed time.
The message travelled a distance OF
25,S35 miles. The cable just completed
though four times the length of the first
Atlantic cable, was not particularly diff
ficult engineering feat, and required less
than seven months to construct. 1t is not
national property, though government
business on it has precedence over all
other, aud in an emergency the Govern
inent may assume temporary control of it.
The Senate and House voted to lay the
cable as national enterprise, but at diff
ferent times, and measure to that effect
failing to pass both houses the work was
left to private enterprise.

Through designations and removals
practically all large divisions i'll the
postoffice department are now without
heads. Some idea of the corruption Ill
this department OF our government may
be had when it is known that this state
of affairs has been brought about by the
recent Investigations which have develop
ed such scandal. So much dishonesty
has been revealed that the public is nc
longer surprised when additional proofs
of the rottenness leak out, but disguised
with officials whose negligence has per
mitted this condition to exist SO lone
without any apparent attempt to correc'
the evil.
