The election in Maryland resulted
in a sweeping Democratic victory.
Many causes may have contributed
to this result, but undoubtedly the
most potent was the interference OF
the President and the consequent
injection of the race issue into the
canvass, and the offensive PERSONAL
ty of u. S. Senator Louis McComas.
The election Of Republican Legis-
latnre would have meant his return
10 the Senate and even leaders Of his
own party could not desire that.
Bnt be the causes what they may,
the fact remains that the Democratic
party has been successful 10 It's hight
in Maryland Edwin Warfeld has
been elected Governor by large
plurality; Dr. Atkinson Is chosen
Comptroller, and William Shepard
Bryan, Attorney General. The Leg
islature is Democratic by majority
of at least A. In the Senate the
Democrats will have l9members aud
the Republicans 9. In the House
there will be 20 Democrats and 81
Republicans,
The victory in the State seems TO
be decisive, and we trust that the
party will so act as to merit q long
continuance IN power.

The battle Of the ballots has been
fought and won, aud it is TO be
hoped that all viii now settle down
to the regular and usual business
routine.
There is no necessity Of Growing
over defeated candidates or the
beaten party. Particularly is this
the case IN St. Mary <. The colored
voters here are frightened by the
belief that Democratic successin the
State means untold and unhcard Of
woes 10 them and their race No
where in the country is there bet.
ter set Of old-tme colored people
than here in ST. Mary's and il IS
cruel to play upon their fears and
endeavor TO create the belief that
their liberties or property rights are
endangered by Democratic success.
Because an element Of witless and
lHlDuuGub AbullE htks N'Ff' thltN w = vs.
SEES, on every available occasion,
say or do something TO arouse the
passions and preiudices Of white
people who take an active part in
Democratic politics, Is little excuse
for violent talk or for cherishing an
inoslty against the large element Of
older and better colored men and
women OF the county Let the white
people exercise forbearanee end en-
deavor to allay unreasonable fears
on the part OF our colored popula-
tion, and trust to time to set Alright
the political questions that we're in
volved in the contest just ended,
and TO so amend the election law as
to prevent a revival Of the race issue

NOVEMBER 2. 1903.

The Roosevelt administration has
become vociferously notorious for
the gigantic and unheard Of frauds
that have been perpetrated since its
advent to power, and also for the
slight efforts made to expose them
and punish the offenders. A few Of
the smaller fry in the Postoflice scan
dial have been indicted and few have
been tried, but not convicted, as the
evidence adduced by the govern
ment attorneys was not sufficient to
convince o jury of their guilt. The
delay in Investigating these scan
dals has been q boon to most OF the
greater offenders, for that conve.
nient law, the statute OF limita
tions, has run its course and the
time has expired in which they could
be indicted That the statute Of lin
itations, covers number Of these
questions is denied by eminent law
yers, but the Republican Attorney
General has decided that it does, and
there is no way Of bringing the cul-
prits to trial, II the law officer Of the
government refuses to act. AS hith
erto mentioned in this correspon-
dence, one OF the principal partici
pants in the leniency Of this accom-
modating statuteis Representative
Litiauer, who. President Roosevelt
describedas Ibis personal friends and
closest political advisor. Littaner
was charged with sharing in the
profits Of large army glove con

ton as member Of Congress to OBJ.

the provisions OF the law that no OF.
fetal should be interested in any
such deal, When referred 10 tbs
Republican Attorney General, he
promptly decided that Mr.. Littauer
could not be prosecuted, as the stat
ute Of limitations had run its course,
so the closest political advisor 81
the President escaped the humilia
ton Of trial and possible couvic.
ton Fraud and graft is getting
mighty close 10 the White House

To Liberate Deer

It is reported that the deer in
Worthington's Buckwood Park in
Warren county, New Jersey, have
multiplied so rapidly that unless
many are liberated they will starve.
Eleven years ago 10 were placed in
the park and it is estimated that
now there are over 2OO0. Some
have been killed by hunting parties.
twenty were sold to Porter's Lake
Club and a few died of starvation
last winter. 1t is proposed to let
down some of the fence enclosing
the preserve and to allow part Of the
animals to escape as the only way
out of the difficulty.

There are some very interesting
and important state campaigns this
year, Notwithstanding the fact that
it is what is known as ian off year. "
The campaign, already on in Ohio,
promises to be a hot one. Mayor
Tom johnson Of Cleveland has an
nounced his determination to defeat
Senator Hanna for the senate by
securing the election of a legislature
hostile to the junior senator from
Ohio. While there is no reason to
believe that johnson can accomplish
this end, it is appreciated that the
Ohio republicans must be prepared
to make a good fight and no member
of congress can be spared from the
field in advance Of the voting. In
Rhode Island there is also a peculiar
condition ana one requiring close
attention. The democrats have
made unprecedented gains in that
state and as Senator Aidrioh will go
before the legislature next year for
reelection it is most important that
the lost ground be recovered in the
approaching campaign. It is the
intention of the republicans in that
state to conduct a whirlwind cam
paign with the hope Of sweeping all
before them and it may become
necessary for Senator Aldrich per-
sonally 20 superintend the fight.
Situations almost as interesting exist
In other states and for that reason
the republican politicians are hoping
that the president viii not impose
on the members Of congress nation
tion duties at a time when their
services are needed BY their party
ia their own states.

THE WASHINGTON LETTER.

Cable communication is again
established between the United
States and Bogota, the capital Of
Colombia, but the first news re-
ceived from that point in several
weeks is by no means encouraging
for the ratification of the Panama
canal treaty and the advocates Of
the Nicaraguap route are much en-.
oouraged. No test vote has been
been taken in the Colombian con-
gress, but in committee a large
number of amendments were adopt
ed by a vote Of ~ to 2 and the two
members who voted negatively are
in favor of the entire reputation Of
the treaty. Senator Cullom has
been in Oyster Bay in conference
with the president regarding the
possibility Of getting the acceptance
of the treaty by the senate in its
amended form and he plainly told
the president that he believed there
was little likelihood of the senate's
sanctioning any canges in the con-
vention. DR.. Herran, the Colomb
ian charge -d'affairs in Washington,
still maintains a hopeful attitude
but it is believed that he is almost
hoping against hope. BY the pro-
visions of the Spooner law, under
which the treaty with Colombia
was negotiated, the president is in
structed to conduct negotiations
Nicaragua and Costo Rioa in the
event that negotiations with Colon
bia fail and the representatives OF
those governments are on the
ground and ready to complete a
treaty under the most favorable
terms.

OBITUARY
MRS. Join b. RArcLIFFE

--A'-ff - 80 80 a -
Townspeople were grieved to learn
of the sudden demise of Mrs. John
B. Ratcliffe which sad event occurred
early last Sunday morning. She was
stricken with apoplexy at four a. IN.
and died at O'Clock. Her health
had been seemingly as good as usual
and the stroke came without warning
and with appalling certainty.
She was born at Hasbrouck, a little
place in the town of Fallsburg, Sulli-
van County, N. Y, about sixty-one
years ago, her maiden name being
Martha Frances O'Neill. Her father
was Major John D. O'Neill, who was
a prominent man in that section and
at one time county clerk. Her
mothers maiden name was Deborah
Denniston.
The family has resided here for some
years, her husband being engaged in
business in New York, and usually
spent Sunday in town. He, how
ever, with no reason to anticipate
such an afiiiction, did not come up
last Sabbath until summoned by the
grievous news of his wife's death. y
Her husband and one daughter,
Frances, survive her, also four sisters.
A brother, w. F. O'Neill, ESQ, died
recently in Middletown, N. Y.
Mrs. Ratcllfie was an accomplished
woman Of exceedingly pleasant
temperament, a most devoted wife
and mother, with refined tastes and
Of unusual domestic habits, her home
was a delight to its inmates and q
charm TO her friends.
The funeral services conducted by
Rev. Il. M. Smead Of the Presby-
terian church were held at the house
at p. m. Tuesday and the remains
fWere Inferred in Milford cemetery.
