bring to the front men more in sympathy
with the masses of the party.
In Queen Anne's county there is revolt
against the leadership of John f. George,
who was instrumental in securing the nom
ination of the county ticket. The fight is
directed with great energy against State
Senator kirwan, who is a candidate for re-
election.
In Kent county Hope H. Barroll who has
for years been outside the breastworks of
the democratic county organization, won
out at the primaries, and the ticket in the
field is composed largely of his friends.
And all over the state. There is a de-
mand among democrats that the old-time
leaders Step aside.

Democrats Weak in Baltimore.

In this city the democrats are perhaps
weaker than in any other section of the
state The first effect of Mr.. Rayner's can
didacy for the United States Senate was to
attract a number of Independents to the
attorney generals support. On second
thought however, they realized the futility
of his aspirations, and saw in the ready
Endorsement of the city leaders a scheme to
attract them to the democratic ticket. A
well-known independent thus expressed him
self on the question:
The candidacy of Rayner and his in
dorsement by the city leaders is but a sop
thrown to catch the independent voters
here. But it will not work. Mr.. Rayner has
not the slightest chance of election to the
United States Senate. Why, just figure it
out. There seven hold-over democratic
sena tors and fourteen new ones to be elect
ed. three in Baltimore. OF the fourteen va
canceS in the senate eight outside of Bal
timore were democratic. OF the city delega-
ton of eighteen in the last legislature fif
teen were republicans. 1t is just possible
that like proportion Of the next repre-
sentation will be republican. Such being the
case. Mr.. Rayner would not have much of
an Endorsement from Baltimore. In the
house the democrats had fifty-One votes.
Taking away the Baltimore delegation of
three, that leaves forty-eight which, with
eight new senators the democrats should
elect in the counties. and the seven hold
over democrats. all from the counties, there
are siXty-three votes that will not be
pledged to Rayner. That number is within
two votes of the number necessary to elect
a democratic senator without asking any
odds of Baltimore.
The best that Rayner could possibly get
then would be the complimentary vote of
the Baltimore delegation the first bal
lot. And then. in case the legislature is
democratic the election of Governor Smith
would follow. as desired by Senator Cor
man

POLITICAL HONOR.

There are two pleasing instances OF
political honor incident to the last ell
ections. Congressman Hullings, of
Ohio, Republican, received less
number of votes than D. c. Badger.
Democrat, but the latter's votes were
declared by the courts to be null and
void because of his disqualification for
the Office under the State constitution.
as he held at the time judicial po-
sition Mr.. Hullings declined to &C
cept his certificate of election on the
ground that the voters did not intend
to elect him. Congressman w. W..
Rhea, a Democrat, was declared cleo
ted in his congressional district in
Virginia on the face of the returns
but Mr.. Rhea declined to accept the
certificate, stating that he believed
the ballots in two rejected precincts
should have been counted for his Re
publican opponent, Co. Slemp.
There is something fine and manly
in the way Messrs. Hullings and Rhed
have acted that is in refreshing coil
trast to the eagerness to often mani
tested of a willingness to get the Of
fee by any means, fair or foul.

THE LAND BILL.

Irishmen throughout the world re
joice at the new land bill whic', e:rs
to abolish absentee landloriism and es
tablish peasant proprietary When
carried into effect the measure can
not but but be of enormous benefit
to Ireland. The increased prosperity
of the farmers will naturally affect
all classes more or less
But it is erroneous to say that this
bill will "solve the land question"
What it does is to postpone the sol,i-
ton of the land question in Ireland
by converting half million or more
tenants into landlords. It is really class
legislation-On a large scale and with
beneficient purpose. but still class leg
iSlatiOn. If it shall better the lot of TIE
landless farm laborers it will do so III
directly. The same thing is true of the
people of Ireland in general OF
course it is immensely more desirable
that farmreS should own their own
land than that they should toll for the
privilege of raising crops. but econO
mically the change will mean simply
the multiplication of landlords ont
the abolition of landlOrdism.
Whether or not the land bill will
bring about more cordial relations be-
tween the Irish people and the British
government, time must tell but it Is
tOlerably certain that the agitation of
the land question will now be shifted
from Ireland to England itself. If the
Irish tenant is to be helped by govern
ment to buy his farm. why not the
English farmer. too? And if landlords
can be compelled to sell out to their
tenants. why not to the State?
The single takers men. men who ac-
cept the philosophy of Henry George
and believe ownership Of land-or al
least the appropriation Of rent-by IL.
dividuals is robbery of the public
are very numerous in Great Britain
and growing more so. They will be en-
couraged by the outing Of the landej
gentry of Ireland to press their doc
trine with renewed energy upon the
English people, who, for the mos
part, have been bred to take the same
view of landlords that Mr.. Baer holds
of himself and hi brother coal lord:
-"Christian mon to whom God in His
infinite wisdom las Entrusted the pro
perty interests cf -he country. "Insis
tence unCn denomination OF the
rightfulness of private property in ma
tural resources has become a distinc
tive feature of the British Democrat,
movement.

ON n Japnnene Mnrnhip.

Japanese sailors on the Mlkado's
warships are thus described by Archi-
bald s. Hurd; These sailors of the
far east take things very much as they
find them with a stoical calm. They
face danger with much the same spirit
with which they take their pleasure,
and in spite of the rapid strides which
civilization has made in their country
their luxuries are few and they are con-
tented and happy. They are devoted to
simple sports, to fencing and to acting;
no one can ever forget the dramatic
entertainments on board the Japanese
men-of-war who has been privileged to
witness them. Nor does the memory
soon become dim Of one Of these ships
when decked out in gala dress, with
chrysanthemums, cherry blossoms and
other blooms typical of Japan enliven-
ing the grim aspect of the decks. The
men are adopts in the making Of imi-
tation paper flowers, which so closely
resemble the handiwork Of nature that
at casual glance one hardly notices
the deception.

"LIKE MAN, LIKE HORSE.

Blame the Animal.

I've always had a notion that the
horse is like the man; in other words.
that the horse is often what his owner
makes him. Recently l came across the
following bit of wisdom in farm pa
per, and as the writer's ideas are exactly
my own | cannot refrain from quoting
his thoughts to-day:
THE excitable horseman," he says.
will nave horses Just like he is himself,
The man without horse sense will have a
horse with the same poor ,snse. The
man who is loud when driving will have
a boisterous horse, and no one ought TO
blame the horse. The man who stops his
team with a drawing whoa will
have a team that will stop in the same
manner-that is, they will take two or
three steps after they are told to stop"
| might quote more. but enough is
enough. You get the idea. What's more,
you all know living examples Of the
kind of horsemen referred to. You-of
course-aren't built that way; but the
other fellow" often is. Too often. And
usually he blames the horse for his own
shortcomings. Once in awhile, prob
ably, he ticks old Dobbin or Jim for some
fault that in reality is his own, 1t isn't
fair! Train or drive or use horse prop
erly and nine out, of ten times that horse
behaves himself and does all that is ex-
pected Of an animal.

A VEGETABLE PoRC6PINE.
America-Wild Cattle of
Arizona Feed on II.

The best hated cactus in America is
the cholla. The Mexicans say that if
you go near a cholla joint it will jump
at you. Certainly if you touch one it
will Stick, and when you try to free your
self it will pierce your other hand as
we'll. Each pendent Joint seems to reach
out for the passerby, and the ground be-
meath the broad cholla trees is strewn
with fallen fragments, many of which
take root and grow, says Country Life
in Amert5&.
After one has felt the sharp spines
through heavy boots and seen their
needle points, it is a source of continual
wonder to see the wild cattle of Arizona
quietly browsing on chollas. The
phrase cactus fed" as applied to Ari-
IONA, is not a figure of speech. During
the years of drought thousands of cat
tie carry themselves over until the next
grass by eating chollas. With their
leathery tongues and lips they strip the
spiny joints from the trunk and leave
the wide-spreading cactus a bare anC
woody skeleton. 1t is only the range
cattle, whose mouths have been hard
ened on the 'thorny mesquite and iron
wood browse, who will undertake to eat
cactus. and cattlemen therefore often
burn the thorns from chollas and nopals
in order to tempt their more fastidious
animals to eat.
