The Baltimore County union. [volume] (Towsontown, Md.) 1865-1909, 1903-09-26

Arlington, Oh ulStrlcC, on wednesday nlSnt,
Mr.. John S. Ensor, candidate for States At
torney, among other things said: I'm all can
| dor ask what chance has young man in the
Democratic party in Baltimore county? He
may serve Loyalty in the ranks of his party
| without reward. He may carry his district
and yet when he appears at the county con-
vention he is deprived of recognition because
his boss believes that another can furnish
more campaign material. Did you ever see a
candidate for Governor, for Comptroller, for
Attorney General, come from Baltimore coun-
tyr No, and will tell you why. Simply be-
cause one man is using this county for his own
ends. That same man, in contravention of his
promises last year to permit the people of Bal
timore county to direct the affairs of their
county, is again in the saddle, is again appeal
ing to the people to elect his ticket. And this
same man, Talbot, am reliably told, is look
ing forward to representing this State in the
United States Senate"
THE WHEAT that is in the shock in the West
is being destroyed by the heavy rains and in
some places by deep snow fall. All this is
very sad reading to anyone familiar with a
farmers life. It is to be hoped the story of
damage is not so bad as appears at first sight.
But even if it is relatively small many poor
soul will be bankrupt, others will suffer, and
nothing will be left to everyone but the hopes
of better things next year. The man who
holds the plow handle takes more chances
with the elements than any other on earth.
Lightning, rain, hail, frost and snow always
threaten him, and were he not of sturdy stuff
would succumb to frequent calamities.
THE PRODUCTION Of steel rails in the United
States in 1902 was 3 SIC, 293 tons, which is only
a slight gain over 1901, but it is much more
than double the output of any year in the
country's history previous to 1900. In 1869
there were only S,616 tons of steel rails pro-
duced in the United States, and those were at
the rate of S132 ton. In 1902 the price was
S2S a ton. The immense gains which have
been made In steel rail production and in the
reduction of the price in the past generation is
one of the triumphs of the tariff policy of
which the Republican party is the author.
LABOR TROUBLES delayed work on New York
city's new public school houses. Result To-
0O0 children temporarily put on half rations
of instruction, and 5000 children temporarily
left in the streets because there's no place for
them in the school rooms. We state this
simply to show that strikes do not affect merely
contractor and employees, but the public at
large The indirect results of wrongs or mis-
understandings are often greater than the d.
rect. Not single act human being does
that has not some bearing on the life of his
neighbor or brother.
CARDINAL GIBBONS was given most hearty
welcome when he returned to Baltimore on
Thursday, may thousands of people turning
out to greet him. He sailed from New York
for Rome on the 8th of July, when Pope Leo
was lying at the point of death. He attended
the funeral of the dead pontiff and then took
part in the election of his successor. The Car
dinaI is in excellent health and was glad to get
back to Baltimore.
Mr.. JAMES NJ. CAIN, who had served for
twenty years as one of the judges Of the Or
phans' Court for Hartford county, died at his
home, near Forest Hill, on Wednesday, after
a long illness. Mr.. Cain had also served two
terms as County Commissioner. He leaves a
family, one of his daughters being the wife of
Senator Thomas H. Robinson.
THE ODD FELLOWS simply took Baltimore
city by storm this week. They were there by
the thousand and to say they had good time
is putting it mildly. The grand parade on
Wednesday was the chief feature of the week.
The weather was beautiful and the crowds
were simply immense 1t was great week for
this noble order.

Baltimore auctioneering firm of Pattson &
Gahan, has been nominated by the Democrats
