There seems a pretty good prospect
that Maryland will swing back into the

it placed itself in 1896 and 1900, only to
go Democratic OH local issues at the
last state election. If this result is ac-
complished, it is said that its dele

Editor Henry Watterson of the
Louisville Courier-Journal dearly loves
to be in scrap, particularly one where
the epithets fly thickly. Having abused
was pretty we'll exhausted, he has now
trained his verbal batteries on the
Panama Canal Company and the lead
ing members of the United States SEN
ate. A few days ago he made charges
against members of the upper house
that reflected most seriously upon their
personal and official integrity. He al
leges that the French company offered
at private sale all it's rights, privileges
and property in the isthmus for s6,000,
900. or S34, 100000 less than the United
States bound itself by treaty to pay
Later on, still according to Colonel
Watterson, the company agreed to
take 500, O00, 900 for it's share and that
among members of the Senate who
should succeed in passing a bill for the
selection of the Panama route. He also
charges that members of the United
States canal commission received their
share of this corruption fund and the
Washington correspondents of several
American newspapers pocketed all of it
that they could get their hands on.
Such a charge against two-thirds of
the members of the Senate is too alb
surd for serious consideration. A few

was calm and serene again and the
services closed.
A good story is told of a young bust
ness man who in Massachusetts is
well known, who came up into Oxford
county where he had relatives and
friends to spend a few days hunting.
He had listened to many bean stories
where hruin had been luxuriating on
our farmers fat lambs and their corn
fields until he had evidently sized
hruln up to be quite formidable ami
mai, and this perhaps had something
to do with his later experience. One
afternoon, after putting on his war
paint and donning his attire for the
hunt, he started out to see what could
be found in the woods of his relative
farmer, out as he did not return and
1t was late in the evening a few of
the nelghbors were got together and
a hunt instituted. After searching
several hours they finally located the
young hunter well up in the tops of a
large spruce tree, where he had
leaving mis- gun many rods
from the tree in his haste to get away
from what he supposed to be a vicious
bear that was on his trail in hot pur-
suit. The young hunter came down
from his perch and told of his narrow
escape of being destroyed by & bear
The next day an examination was
made of the locality and no signs of Il
bear could be found, and it was sup
posed the young mans fright must
have been due to large shepherd dog
that was owned by his relative With
whom he was stopping following and
him in the woods for a bear.
The young man has no further desire
for hunting and will soon return to
his happy home in the city. He is
now laboring under mental fear lest
this little episode will become known
to his friends in Massachusetts.

The Prosperity of the South.

One of the race problems" of the
Southland it is more pleasant to con-
slider than the one commonly given that
name-is the rate at which that section
lis speeding along the pathway of
prosperity. The story of good times,
with which we have been so familiar in
the North and West in recent years. is
now being told in the South. The good
times were a little later in being felt
there, but they are now enough in
evidence to warrant the most opti-
mistic lyrics of which Frank L. STAN
ton, the Georgia poet, is capable. AS
the harvest time reaches it's culmina-
ton the reports take a more definite
form, and we can see why the South is
enjoying life.
The Times-Democrat of New Or
leans says there has been an improve
ment in every line of trade in that city
cotton, grain, coffee, sugar, rice and
lumber; export and import receipts of
produce and return trade; over sea and
coastwise traffic. The output of manu-
features has increased; there has been
more building done than for years; Il
great system for cleaning and drain
ing the city. made possible by the ex-
ertions of women, has been begun.
Two railroads have established termi-
nails there during the year. The city
has become the cotton center of the
country; has regained the coffee trade
flour trade; gained more than - per
cent. in foreign export rade; increased
81 per cent. in bank clearings, it's
financial prosperity being even greater
than it's commercial prosperity.
Another paper tells us about Calves
ton whose recovery from the awful
devastation of the tidal wave seems al
most like a miracle. That city has now
moved up to third place among the
exporting cities of the country. Its
customs receipts increased ZIG per cent.
over last year, it's export values being
S., 100000, and it's import $7,OOo,OO0 more
than in 1901. 1t has SO lines of steam
ships to foreign ports; it's coastwise
trade has doubled, and it's elevator
capacity has increased to more than
1000 900 bushels. It's recovery from the
disaster of September 1900. has been
most remarkable It's future was then
felt to be doubtful because of the
liability of inundation at any time. But
the people of Galveston had no doubts.
They are building a sea wall more
than three miles long on the ocean
front. 1t rests on a concrete bed laid
on a pile foundation driven down to the
clay bed. 1t is is feet at the base and
five feet at the top with a riprap of
granite rocks. On this the wall will
rise II feet above mean low water and
two feet above the highest point
reached by the overflow of 1900. When
it is finished the city will be graded
level to the top, and will then stand II
feet above the ocean. Similar reports
of prosperity come from Memphis,
Atlanta. Birmingham, Sa
vannah. Mobile and Charleston. All
are making great strides, while the
general estimate of the agricultural
and manufacturing improvement of the
whole South is in keeping.

QUICK BUSINESS
 ON RED JACKET
MICHIGAN COMPANY TO LOSE NO
 TIME ON PRELiMiNARiEs.
Three Compartment Shaft Will Be Starto1 on Monday-Joins the Hig' aims and Wolverine.

MT J. J. Sullivan. tC Calumet Michigan, the business representative of the Red Jacket & Bisbee Develop ! ment company, Ian led in Bisbee on rriday morning, and tomorrows sun will look down upon a force of work men breaking ground for a full-size
 hree-compartment shaft, which the Red Jacket will sink cn its fine group of claims which join the Higgins and the Wolverine & Arizona.
 This is pretty quick work and q heavy undertaking, but the new com pany believes that there is no better plan than to push development work from the start. ..
 Mir: Sullivan has visited 'Bisbee pre- viousIy. and he lost no time in setting down to the business of arranging for work to start al: once. He has ar ranged with MT, Stewart Hunt. of the Wolverine & Arizona, to act in the capacity of superintendent of the new property. MT ". H. Roberts will be the company's clerk
 Yesterday Mir. Sullivan and Mir. Hunt looked the property over and selected a shaft site. which is near the center of the property. and at the foot of the big hill in a draw.
 This point is nicely suited for shaft. as 1t is easy of access and within 400 feet of the quartzite dyke that runs through the Bisbee, Dewey and Dunlap claims.
 This company's stock has been mainly taken in Calumet, but a small lot has been reserved for Bisbee. and MT. M. J. Cunningham, of the Bank of Bisbee has the local stock list
 Sinking three compartments right from the start is evidence of the company's intention to go after the ere on a right basis.
 MT. Sullivan state1 that the Calu- met feeling in regard to the Bisbee field is most satisfactory. despite the disturbed condition of the money mar ket The market has nothing to do with the faith in Bisbee's mineral re- sources; they are totally different matters.
 The alert way in which this com pany is getting down to business without any fussing will agreeably impress all our people. but it seems to be entirely in line with the standard pace which these northern folks have established.

lClOUDBURST NEAR BISBff

Reports of a disastrous flood near this city reached here yesterday after noon when A c Mcdonald. superin- tendent of the Crescent copper mine, arrived in the city from that property Later it was learned that the track of the Fl Paso & Southwestern. near Charleston. was washed out This latter was confirmed when the train from Benson failed to arrive. At the depot here nothing could be learned beyond the reporting of the train as one hour late.
 When the Benson train had not ar rived after several hours. much anx- iety was felt. Later the report came over the wire from Falrbank that a heavy fall of rain had occurred north of there. and the San Pedro river was out of its banks. doing much damage. Explicit reports are not to be had. but the unconfirmed information comes that a bridge on the line of the E. P. & S. w. has been washed out, and there is no telling when trains will be run over the line.
 lowering and angry clouds west of Bisbee yesterday told of the approach of a heavy storm, and for while it was thought that the storm would
