Maryland Politics.
The Disgraceful Conduct of Warning
Republican Factions.

@Ac DASSAdSSAul SoHuuCl VI " dIIlng
Republican Factions.
If it were not for the disgrace
which the conduct OF the two rival
Republican factions is bringing upon
the entire State, the Maryland Dem
ocrats might view with satisfaction
the warfare which is now going on
within the camp of their opponents.
L is certainly indicative of Demo
cratic victory there this fall.
We have no means of knowing
what private grievances either SEN
ator McComas or Representative
Mudd may be nursing. and we don't
much care. We do know, however,
that their present doings cannot bene-
TT their party. The point seems to
have been reached where two men of
the opposing Republican factions can
nc longer meet in the public street
without engaging IN an encounter
which the police ought to stop in the
interest of law and order, while
wherever there is a gathering of any
considerable number of Republicans

disturbance little short of a riot is
precipitated.
If the reports be true, and there is
more reason for believing that they
are true than that they are untrue,
much money is being expended in in
tlmdatlng Ignorant negro voters, not
only III violation of law, but to the
detriment of the negroes and the pub

Republican party in Maryland Is
made up of this negro element, but
there are thousands of good and in

faith, and who must be deeply morti-
fed when rejecting upon present con

should assert itself and take the man.
agement of affairs out of the hands of
cheap politicians into their own. The
party has an opportunity Of making
Maryland a Republican State, but in
stead of doing so the leaders are
the chance away, quarreling
themselves, scrambling for Of
fees, and fighting over petty matters
which concern themselves rather than
the welfare of their party or the peo-
pie, and leaving the way open for the
Democrats to again intrench them
selves IN power IN the State.

LABOR ADVOCATES
TRUST DESTRUCTION
Mass Meeting Urges National Con-
vention for 1904.

An antitrust meeting was held last
night under the auspices of organized
labor in the New National Theater.
Before an audience which crowded the
theater from pit TO gallery. the labor
leaders OF Washington and New York
solemnfy declared that the safety OF the
United States demanded the destruction
OF the trusts, root and branch.
To accomplish this purpose an anti
trust league on gigantic scale was ad-
voeated. and a resolution adopted urging
a national convention in Washington.
June 2S. 1904
President Roosevelt and Attorney Gen.
eral Knox were severely denounced for
not enforcing the sherman antitrust
bill which. it was declared, had ample
power to put an end 10 the present in
tolerable state OF affairs.
Among the speakers Of the evening
were Henry George. Representative
Francis E. Shober. of New York; Repre-
sentative c. .. Van Duzen. OF Nevada;
Robert S. Tharin. and Owen J. KindeIon.
All of the eighty labor organizations
OF Washington were represented IN the
NeAAS- L = Olu AleAanQrld q special DEL
egation OF 25O union men came on a
trolley train decorated with flags. The
delegation, headed by MohIer's Band,
marched into the hall. carrying a trans
pareney bearing the inscriptions. Down

by Injunction
Although the mass meeting was or
ganized by members OF big Six" as the
Union Of New York is
known. the hundreds OF delegates with
which Washington is now tEronged were
by their absence from the
meeting. or else they left their eonven-
ton badges at home.
Speeches were made by Representa-
tives Shober OF New York. and Van
DuzeD of Nevada. and owen J. Kinde-
lon. OF New York city, eulogizing VIII
liam Randolph Hearst, recently elected
from New York A reso-

vocating Hearst for the next President
Of the United States.

Engiand's Royal Family.

EngIand's royal family is somewhat
scattered just at present. The Princess
of Wales under the incognita of a
Countess of Killarney. is in Switzerland,
her children are in Scotland. and her
husband in the North of England. The
King has gone TO Hamburg where he is
10 remain three weeks, while the Queen
is off to Denmark 20 stay with her
father King Christian at the chateau OF
Bernstorff, where she will meet her sis
ter. the Dowager Empress OF Russia
The Queens stay is likely TO be an ex-
tended one as she is to be at Copenhagen
with her sister, the Empress. on No
vember Is, when the old King celebrates
the fortieth anniversary OF his Access
sion TO the throne. 1t is expected that
a large family gathering will take place
at Copenhagen, in connection with the
affair, which possibly King Edward and
the Car may also attend.

Darkest Mississippi.
The Election of Vardaman as Governo,
a Setback for the State.

The Democratic primary elections
recently held in Mississippi indicate
the election of Major Vardaman as the
successor of Governor Longino. The
latter-a man of sane and progressive
ldeas-m makes room for reactionarv
zeaiot of the Tillman stripe. 1t is a
deplorable setback for the State of
Mississippi.
Major Vardaman is a friend of
lynching, believes in keeping the ne
gro IN ignorance, and speaks of the
President of the United States as
that wild broneo-busting, coon-hav-
ored miscegenationisti'
Nothing that we might say could
add to this Indictment, drawn against
himself, by the future governor of
Mississippi.

Timely Topics of Local and National Interest

to be divorced from the bonds and TO re-
turn to its first love-Tammany. Tia
statement is denied by John c. sheehan.
the leader Of the organization, who. be-
cause OF his quarrel with Croker several
years ago. left the Wigwam and becams
the head and front OF the Greater New
York Democracy, which has always
fought the Tiger at every turn. There
is reason to believe. however. that Mr..
sheehan will have much difficulty in
holding his organization in line for the
fusion ticket. especially as some OF his
associates have renowned fusion and re-
turned 10 Tammany. President Cantor,
Of the Borough OF Manhattan, is one Of
these, and while Mr.. Sheehan asserts
that If Cantor has gone back TO Four
teenth Street he viii not be able to
carry the Greater New York Democracy
with him. there is reason to believe that
mis- action viii have a strong tendency
in that direction, as CantOr's influence

Removal of Architect Cobb.
The Secretary of the Treasury Should
Have Dismissed Him Long Ago.

Have Dismissed Him Long Ago.
In removing Henry Ives Cobb, the
architect Of the Chicago postoffiee,
Secretary Shaw has taken the action
ne should have taken long ago; in fact
the representation of which the mar
has been guilty warranted his dismis-
sal by Secretary Shaw's predecessor
For more than eight years the Chica-
go postoffice has been in course oc
construction, and it Is vet far from
completion. Meanwhile the people of
the city have been not only greatly
Inconvenience by the lack of ade-
quate facilities for the handling Of
mail, but the delay has caused prop
erty owners and business men in the
vicinity of the building heavy losses
because of street Instructions and IN
reference with traffic incidental 10
the work Holding a salaried posi-
lion Architect Cobb sought to have the
construction make progress as slowly
as the building of the pyramids, and.
he Is responsible for the fact that
the structure is now incomplete.
There is no excuse for these long
delays in the construction of big Gov
erpment buildings. Because of the ex-
perience which the people Of Wash
ington had when the city postoflicc
and department building was in
course Of erection, we are able TO SYM
pathize with the citizens Of Chicago,
and rejoice with them in the removal
Of Architect Cobb. 1t is TO be hoped
that when the Government comes to
erect the new Hall of Records and the
Municipal Building these unnec-
essary delays will be avoided The
fact that there is no valid excuse for
taking seven years TO rear a structure
which might be erected in two, is
shown by the announcement made by
the railroad companies that they will
have the new Union Station completed

OFFER OF REAL ESTATE
REJECTED BY DISTRICT

The Commissioners have received a
communication from o. A. Calkins, of
2Os1 First Street northwest, Offering TO
sell to the District a lot adjoining the
site for the proposed school building at
Seventh and G Streets southeast. The
papers were referred to the Building
Inspector. who reports that although
the appropriation for the building is
larger than Will be necessary, 1t is
specifically an appropriation for build

with any portion of II.
Mr.. CalkiIs will therefore be in

The Congo Scandal.

In spite OF King Leopold's personal
appeal TO his cousin, King Edward. the
English government has taken I'D the
question of the maladministration of
the Congo Free State, and the State De-
partment at Washington will shortly
receive. from the foreign office in Lon
don, circular addressed to the sigma
tory powers of the treaty creating the
Congo Free State, calling attention to
the failure of the Congo government to
comply with the stipulations of the con-
stitution TO which II owes it's existence.
The circular. ii is understood. deals
in particular with the establishment by
King Leopold and by the Free State
administration of monopolies in viola
tion of Article V CT the treaty of Ber-
lin, thus placing insurmountabIe OBJ
stacles in the way of foreign trade in
the Congo Valley, which, according to
the treaty, was TO have been free, as
Indicated by the name of the Congo
Free State. The British foreign min
lister, in his circular letter, suggests
that the consideration of the matter
should be referred by the signatory
powers to The Hague tribunal, a pro-
posal which is likely to be adopted
since IL IS felt that the judgment of the
letter, representing as IL does the prin-
cipal nations in a judicial sense, would
carry more weight. and therefore prove
more effective, than action by any in
dividual government, which might be
ascribed to selfish political motives and
as such resented and opposed by other
powers.
II IS by no means improbable that the
State Department at Washington may
receive a circular similar to that of Lord
from Berlin. For Duke John
Albert of Mecklenburg- Schwerin, brother
OF the Prince Consort of the Netherlands,
and president of the Imperial German
Colonial Society, has recently presented
a strongly worded petition to the chan
celIor OF the German Empire complain
ing that King Leopold by his creation of
in the Congo Free State had
virtually excluded German trade from
the Congo valley.
