LETTER FROM BALTIMORE.
AN UNEXPECTED TURN.

The complexion Of affairs in Republican
State circles rs result of the City
Primaries. has not, perhaps. greatly
changed the situation with regard to the
principal nomination on the ticket. from
what it would have been had Congress-
man Wachter and his friends carried
Baltimore. although it is understood that
for the good of the party. these gentle
men think that Ex-Governor LowndcS
would make stronger man for the Cub
crnat0rial nomination. with MI Steven
son Archer Williams for the Attorney
General. This however is not now prob
able. although such Il combination would
be stronger than Republicans. not fnmi-
liar with the inside situation in Demo
cratic circles imagine.
1t is understood that very many Of
Senator MccomaS' closest friends think
the same thing, and that for the greatest
strength To the ticket. the arrangement
mentioned should he carried into the
nomination. a course Ivy the way which
would by no means be displcaSing to Mr.
Williams himself, under all circum-
stances.
The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1903-09-12

he may make the speech putting Mr..
Williams in nomination.
In the City the Union Republican lead
ers profess to he anxious to aid the re-
guar ticket. Congressman Wachter de-
clares that he has no grudges to settle,
and that he is for the ticket now and
will be for it right up to Election Day.
There is. of course. some discomfort
among the rank and file over the defeat
and also over the report. which appears
to be well founded that every Union Re
publican member of the State Central
Committee for the city is to be OuSted
If the Organization actually displays any
desire for harmony. the Union Republi-
cans will all fall in line. In the mean
time, however. the Union Republican
headquarters will be kept open and the
organization preserved.

vN RECOGNITION of the propriety

TN RECOGNITION of the propriety
and good sense of selecting as
Il Chairman of the Republican State
Central Committee. gentleman
who holds close and confidential personal
relations with the Gubernatorial Candi-
date. "The Wing" cordially endorses the
selection of Mr.. John h. Hanna. as the
successor of Mr.. Phillips Lee Goldsbor-
ough for that important campaign posi-
ton.
Mr.. Hanna is not only close personal
friend of Mr.. Williams. hut he is excel
lently equipped for the executive work
of the Craftsmanship. No more courteous
and considerable man than he can be
named for the position. and no one more
generally acceptable to the Republicans
of every section of the State.
In the selection of the Chairman we
assume that Mr.. Williams wishes will
be fully considered. in view of the rela-
lions he will sustain as Gubernatorial
Candidate to the Chairman. upon whom
will drvolvc 80 largely the direction and
management of the campaign.

The Republican County Convention
passed the following resolution =
Resolved That this Convention pied
yes its candidates. if elected. to the adop-
ton of Il business and economical admin
iStratiOn of county affairs. and especially
to the adoption of II sensible and prac-
teal system of management of the roads
which will give to the taxpayers the best
results for the large sums of money an
nually levied for that purpose
Upon this platform they nominated two
excellent and capable men for County
Commissioners Mr.. George X. Spence
and Mr.. Levi f. Patterson. What does
the Machine offer : \ continuance of
gum shoe" politics. with County officers
who will be practically the private sec
retaries of the Machine. Is there any
reasonable doubt as to how Il taxpayer
should vote. if he desires to vote for the
best interests of the people of the
County We think not.-Cccl Demo
crat.
The above excerpt from the columns of
tn" last issue of our contemporary the
I WI l'fIllbfIIl. Is IL Hbllttllt ana
deserved tribute to the characters of
M"SSrS. George X. Spence and Levi +.
Patterson. the Republican candidates for
the important position of County Com
missioner.
1t is is no sense detraction from the
merits of the other candidates upon the
Republican Ticket. to say. that both the
gentlemen named. are especially qualified
for the positions for which they have
been nominated, and the recognition of
this fact upon the part of our contcmpor-
AIRY is a compliment to them as graceful
as it is deserved.

TAN the working men who marched
behind the notorious sam"
~ Parks with close cropped pate,
fresh cut in Sing Sing prison,
and his no less conspicuous associate big
"Bill" Dcvery in the Labor Day process
sion in New York City. mean to set up
such leaders as the representative of or

We cannot believe that the wagc-carn-
ers of New York. or any other city. are
in sympathy with the methods Of men
like Parks and Dcvcry.
If organized labor expects to maintain
its self respect. and to secure and hold
the support of the general public. it must
cut loose from such characters. and such
unsavory fomentors of industrial strife.

THE POST OFFICE SCANDALS.

TWO chapters We're added to the
history of the Post Office scan
Il dals this week.-the handing
down by the Federal Grand
Jury at Washington. of seven indict-
ments against offending public officials,
and the arrest in New York of George
W. Beavers. late Chief of the Salary
and Allowance Division of the Post
Office Department.
AS the President has ordered Il search
ing investigation of the official conduct
of all implicated in these scandals, and
nothing short of which will satisfy the
public demands, it is expected that the
Courts will soon begin vigorous work.
Even should the politicians try to stave
off action, nothing could be worse for the
Administration than a weak and hesitat-
ing prosecution of these cases
A Presidential Election is at hand and
the Democrats could look for no better
campaign material, than the failure of
these prosecutions.
Let the scandals be probed to the bot
tom and whoever is guilty of crooked
ness be brought to justice

that the Eastern Shore and Southern

LORDLINGS SPANKED
An Army Hazing Case May Get Into
"E.... Parliament, --..

London, Feb. GA rema rkable scandal
has just been brought to light by the
compulsory retirement of Colonel Kinloch
OF the Grenadier. guards for not enforcing
discipline. .y.- = Ar = ,-.-s !. II.
1t has been an mnnem orial custom in
the guards for the officers to lick new
Corners into shape in their own way when
in the present case were the Marquis
Douro. the eldest son of the duke of Well
lington, and the son of Lord Belhaven, and
the nephew of Lord De Saumarez. All
three are young officers in the Grenadier
guards. They had been left in England
In charge OF recruits and units when
the regiment was serving in South Africa
When the Grenadiers returned, their
junior officers formed the opinion that
the three young noblemen We're assuming
too lordly airs, Their brother subalterns
held q sham court martial and the three
officers were accused of belonging to
the most noble families in the. Kingdom
and failing to report themselves as con-
summate asses They We're. all found
guilty. Then the heir of the Duke Of
Wellington received corporal punishment;
In other words. he was spanked like an
infant The other two received similar
treatment. The three young men left the
room in great anger and went to their
parents and told the story. The latter
drew up a joint letter to Earl Roberts. in
which they said that Colonel Kinloch. was
unfit to command a regiment where such
an affair could occur.
After heated arguments with Earl Rob
erts the matter was referred to the king
He refused to Interfere with the COM
rnander- in-chief's order removing Colonel
Kinloch. The colonels friends have de-
cided to raise the question at the open
ing of parliament. 3, 80. -a.s

BANKRUPTCY
The Amendments to the Former Law
Are Made. ..... -as.

Washington, Feb. 6.-The president yes
terday signed the bill which amends the
bankruptcy law Of 1898. De-. ..- ... '
The bill modies the existing law in
several important particulars, the princi-
pal one OF which is a provision in regard
to preferred creditors. Under the exist
ing law those who had received payments
from a person who had soon afterward
been declared a bankrupt could not have
other claims passed upon without sur
rendering the amount received. This
provision was modified so as to allow the
creditor to retain the money received suu
less the previous payment was fraudulent.
Ibis change Is In conformity with a de-
cision o. the supreme court. -r-~ ...~
Another amendment provides four new
objections to a discharge, intended to pre-
vent persons from going through bank
ruptcy, the most important Of which are
the giving of false mercantile statement
and the making of a fraudulent transfer
Of property. *-," -
The bill also provides that it shall be an
objection to a discharge if a voluntary
bankrupt seeks to so through bankruptcy
more than once in six years. Another
amendment provides that the appointment
Of a receiver for a corporation which ls
insolvent is an act Of bankruptcy, en-
titling the creditors to choose their own
trustees. Another important change Is
one which gives the federal courts con-
current jurisdiction of suits to recover
property which has been fraudulent
ly transferred. 49, r. T. -, 5,s IS
Other amendments allow the wives Of
bankrupts to testify In the proceedings:
provide for an: increase Of the fees Of ref
eTees and trustees to an average of about
so per cent Of the fees allowed by the
present law, and prohibit the courts from
allowing greater fees than the law permits
in any case, and add to the list of debts
from which a bankrupt cannot be relieved
by a discharge from bankruptcy. The
new law includes debts to wife and chill
dren and alimony. The list Of corpora
tons which may go into bankruptcy is in
creased by adding mining corporations

ELKINs BILL PASSES
The House Sent It to the President
Yesterday.

Washington, Feb, 6.-The ANTITRUST bill
debate, which opened in the house yester-
day, did not develop much animation,
although there was fairly large attend
ance in the galleries. The rule under
which the house was to. operate, how
ever. precipitated lively discussion.
The democrats protested vigorously
against the rule for consideration Of the
, bill because it did not permit them to Sc
4 cure a record vote on a substitute, but
the republicans replied that they were
willing to accept the responsibility.
The bill to expedite antitrust prosecu
tions occasioned no debate. 1t passed the
house, as it did the senate, without word
of debate. E
Mr.. Powers (rep., Mass.) made the
! opening argument for his side of the
house on the judiciary committee bill and
Mr.. Clayton (dem., Ala,1 opened for his
side. The former contended that the
pending measure was step in the direc-
ton of regulation of the trusts, while Mr.
y Clayton insisted that 1t was all sham and
pretense.
