Next Monday

The city council met last night,
with all members present. except Mr..
Catlin, Mayor Bishop presiding.
Before the council was called to
order, Mr.. Hubbard stated that there
was an awkward condition Of affairs
and that he thought II was necessary,
for the protection of the city, to raise
the question Of a vacancy in the may.
or's Office; that, MIR. Bishops resig-
nation, having been accepted, he did
not think that gentleman entitled TO
preside.
Mr.. Bishop, answering, said hat he
would be satisfied to retire. A con
siderable discussion resulted, and Re.
corder Judah read the record, show.
ing that the resignation Of the mayor
was accepted on condition that Mr..
Bishop preside until his successor was
elected He also read the charter
provision regarding the filling OF va
cancies. Mr.. Bishop kept his chair.
The Record Fictitious.
Mr.. Hubbard arose, objecting to
that part of the record qualifying the
acceptance of the resignation. and
asking that this clause be expunged.
Hubbard insisting that the clause in
question was fictitious. Mr., Stolz op,
posed him, holding that the mayors
resignation was accepted with the un
derstanding that the mayor preside
until his successor should be elected
and had qualified.
Mr.. Hubbard again took the floor
and argued the case, urging that the
record was not correct. Recorder
Judah. Mayor Bishop and others dis.
cussed the matter, and Mr.. Hubbard,
for a third time, talked to the ques-
ton. urging that his only desire was
to legalize the action of the council
and save trouble In the future.
On motion OF Burrows. the minutes
OF the last meeting were amended so
as to show the fiat acceptance OF the
resignation. Mr.. Burrows further
moved that a vacancy in the office Of
mayor be declared. This was agreed
to by unanimous vote OF the council.
MIR. Hubbard then moved that the
vacancy In the Office OF mayor be
filled by the appointment OF O p,
Bishop, TO serve until the election and
qualification OF his successor. This
was carried by unanimous vote. and

again took his seat as mayor, the first

Republicans and the Negro.
From the Cecil Democrat.

From the Cecil Democrat.
The question of negro domination appears
to worry the Republicans even more than it
does the Democrats, although in an entirely
different way. 1t keeps them busy explaining
their position and trying to allay the fears of
the white people upon the SUBJECT, :,
Nobody fears that the negroes will usurp all
the public places and official functions to the
exclusion of the white people, but the success
of the Republican candidates carries with 1t
the probability oflegislation that will give the
negro greater political power and raise him,
so far as it can be done, up to the level OF the
white man.
The negro is becoming more and more ag-
eressive each year and more determined to
insist upon what he considers his political
rights. He is rapidly becoming aware OF the
fact that he is the bone and sinew of the Re
publican party, and as such has the right to
demand substantial recognition. Up to this
time his party has been wonderfully success
full in choking him off, but il never has been
able to blind him to the fact that his friends
we're in power aud that his liberty and license
was greatly increased thereby, making him
more impudent, more dangerous, more crlml
nal, rs the record under the last Republican
administration in Maryland bears undisputed
testimony.
II is this that the white people of the State
fear, and not that the negro may hold office
They fear the tendency to indulge his criminal
propensity which always follows Republican
rule They fear his insistence upon socia
as we'll as political equality, and the trouble
that will result if you resist it. They fear tol
the safety of the women and children and they
have good cause to fear it, for what he has
done is only too fresh in our minds and what
he will do only too much of a horrible men
ace.
To guard against this his friends must MOI
be intrused with power. There must be nc
Republican legislature in Maryland to encour
age him in his savage inclination. On the
contrary to Democrats must be given the
power not only to check this but to go beyond
it and if possible render him impotent in pol
itics and force him to keep the place nature
and the original laws of this country made fol
him.

A Disastrous Storm.

A furious wind aud rain storm on October 9
swept over portions of Virginia, Delaware.
New York, Eastern Pennsylvania and East
crn New York and along the Atlantic Coas!
from North Carolina to the southern section
of New England. The center of the storm
was off the Virginia Coast The rainfall was
10 OF inches in New York city in Sc hours,
and parts of the city were flooded.
The velocity of the wind ranged from 81
miles an hour at Block Island to II miles at
Cape Henry.
The losses by foods and wind in around
New York and at Paterson and other points
in Northern New Jersey will run into the
hundreds of thousands of dollars. There were
large washouts on number of the railroads.
4 dam across the Ranapo River, near
Pompton Lake, New Jersey, gave way and
flooded numerous houses in the valley. Many
occupants of cottages along the banks OF the
river fled from their homes in terror, but no
lives were lost
The Susquehanna River rose 10 feet at
Wilkesbarre, Scranton, Carbonate, ELEPHANT
and the mines in the vicinity were Hooded.
The losses to industrial establishments at
Paterson, N. j., by the flood are over 81 ,OOO,
600 young girl was drowned at that place.
In the Lower Chesapeake Bay two three
masted schooners were blown ashore.
The lower section of Norfolk, Va, was
flooded and many cottages at Virginia Beach
damaged by the wind
At York, Pa, Walter Royer. l2-year, old
boy, was standing on the bank of the city
reservoir, when the wind swept him into the
water and he was drowned before his body
could be recovered. John Brown, living at
Crum Lynn, Delaware county, Pa, was
drowned in the same manner. He was stand
ing on the bank of Crum Creek and was blown
into the stream, which was quite high.
In Paterson and Passaic, N. j., several
lives were lost, and the damage to the mills
and factories will reach about $500, 900,
while thousands of persons are homeless and
out of work, as hundreds of residences were
destroyed and much suffering prevails as many
persons lost their all. Ocean City, Nd, was
greatly damaged by the inrushing water from
the ocean which crushed or undermined
hotels, residences and other buildings. An
inlet, over so feet wide and I feet deep, was
made from the ocean across the land to Syne-
puxentBay.
1t was the most disastrous storm that has
occurred on the Atlantic coast and inland for
many years, and the damage to railroads, troll
ley lines, county roads and bridges and private
property is placed at over S75. DOC, 900.

Washington dispatches indicate that
there is great anxiety in official circles as
to the outcome Of the elections in Mary
land and Ohio next month. The fight, it
is said, is being made to control the legis
latures so as TO have Republican u. s.
Senators elected. Especially is this so
with regard to Maryland, as the President
is holding frequent conferences with Re-
publican candidates and leaders, and as Il
trump card, in order to make his party in
this State come together, has said he would
like ex-Gov. Lowndes as his running mate
in 1904. In other words, Republican
factions get together, if you have Vice
President and two Senators your chances
are far better to receive larger portion of
the offices.

Roosevelt for Williams.

From the Baltimore Sun, o ctober 8.
special dispatch to the Sun from Wash
ing d. c.. last night stated
''President Roosevelt wishes it known that
he takes deep interest in the Maryland elec-
ton and is thoroughly in sympathy with the
Republican ticket. With this in view. and
desiring to extend special mark of courtesy
he had Mr.. S. A. Williams, the Republican
candidate for Governor of Maryland, at lunch
at the White House today, by special invita-
tion."
Upon a like reasoning, the PRECEDENT
wished it known that he took deep in
terest in the negro when he had Booker
T. Washington to lunch with him.
No other conclusion can be reached.
The President had Mr.. Williams to
lunch with him, to show deep interest in
his election, therefore, when ne had
negro to lunch with him he wanted to show
deep interest in negro equality.

Whitelock on Election Laws.

"The fundamental distinction between the
Democratic act of 1901 and the Republican
law of 1896 is, s'the scheme of secresy estab
lished by the former:
Hon. George Whitelock McComas'
nominee for Attorney General, is thus
quoted by the Baltimore Sun. Mr.. White
lock was discussing the election laws, and
if quoted correctly, proved that he was not
entirely familiar with the Act of 1896.
Instead of secresy, the law of 1896
provided that ballot clerks should assist
voters needing assistance to prepare their
ballots, but did not J1,oride that tie cierh's
should take oaths not to dicuIge far mhon'
the assisted persons cofed.
This omission opened wide the door to
bribery. and the omission aods deHberdte.
Negroes in some parts of the State were
told to say that they could not read when
getting registered. All such were entitled
to be assisted in preparing their ballots,
and by reason of the absence of oaths iol
ballot clerks the Republican party kept {
strict espionage of the negro vote.
The white vote that looks forward tC
election day as a time to make some money,
by various means could also call for assist
ance, and the purchaser could learn from
ballot clerk whether the vote was de.
livered
The law of 1896 was an act to make
bribery easy; not to provide for a secret
ballot. 1t provided for party emblems, Sc
the negroes could with certainty vote the
Republican ticket.

To the People of Carroll County.

Is incompetency in the administration of a
public office, to say the least of it, and the
retention of moneys due the State to go un
challenged?
Such appearing to be the case, | have
deemed it proper to present to the right
thinking people of this county certain facts,
in my possession, with relation to the admin
istralion of affairs by Joseph D. Brooks, in
his office as Register of Wills.
Having in my possession a copy of the
books in the office of Register of Wills, for
the wear ending December 6, 1899, from
which appears that he received as Register
from his share of "Tax on Commissions" his
share of Collateral Inheritance Tax and
General Receipts the sum of $4 ,846. 81
whereas the printed report of the Comptroller
showing his report, under oath for said year
'.shows Receipts from all Sources as
| 81, 4al67 Deducting, from the first named
sum. 100000, paid himself as Register;
1926. 90, salaries paid deputy registers; 1884.
| O3 for 'Incidentals," $500 for Unpaid
Bills and $67.64, amount due the State,
there appears "a difference of $4l4. IS between
the receipts as shown by the copy of his books
| and his return to the Comptroller, which
| amount should have been accounted for and
! paid over to the State in the year 1899.
Not wishing to make public this condition
| of affairs without affurding the Register an
opportunity to verify the paper in my hands,
and explain, if he could, the apparent failure
to account for said sum of $4l4.85, | had an
| interview with him, at my office, on the first
day of the present month. In that interview
| stated to him what evidence | had in my
possession and offered to verify or contradict
| the same by IA comparison with the books and
records of his Office. This offer was declined
and no proper explanation has been made,
up to the present time, nor has any compari-
| son been made.
! Since that interview, he has admitted that
he has in his hands, not accounted for in the
above ($4l4. 85), certain "Collateral Inherit
ance Tax" paid him in the year 1899, in the
estate of the late James Ehrhardt, amounting
to about $4,000.
These facts having become generally known
in Westminster, but no public explanation
| made by Joseph d. Brooks, as demanded by
respectable and responsible citizens of the
town, | have deemed it my duty to present to
| the people of this county the above facts in
relation to the conduct of the office of Register
of Wills by Joseph d. Brooks, the present in
cumbent and candidate for re election, and
at the same time to add that this statement
is not issued from political or partisan
standpoint, but in the interest of Il proper adj
mnistration of the affairs of that Office in ac
cordance with the law. Respectfully.
