and sell them as he goes. OF course there
is no trying on. The police would not per-
mit that, but as nine-tenths of the Rus
slams wear their trousers in their boots, the
fit is more n waist measure than anything
else. The shoe peddler carries his wares
from house to house, and the itinerant
shoemaker may be found in every other
street halfsoling boots while the customers
wait.
At present most American goods pay an
extra duty because the United States dis
eliminates against Russian sugar. The dis
elimination came from the influence of our
sugar trust; but il would have paid us bet
ter to have admitted Russian sugar free
than to have our trade hampered by the
present restrictions. All customs matters
here are in the hands of the finance min
lister, and when we put our duty on sugar
he at once puts duties on almost all Amerl-
can imports. We still sell plenty of ma
chinery, because the American machinery
is better than any other, but many of our
goods are kept out.

with good deeds. He should be able to say

AN AGGRESSIVE CAMPAIGN.

1t is an old saying, and as true as
old, that what is not worth lighting for
is not worth having 1t is well known
that little is obtained in any depart
ment, that is worth having or desirable,
without vigorous, aggressive and con-
tinuous fight.
A political campaign will be made in
this county this fall, between the Dem
ocrats and republicans for the County
Offices, which offices have been filed
for years by the Republicans, owing to
the fact that up to this time they have
had an overwhelming majority in the
county. Now, since the new constitu-
ton went into effect the two parties are
more nearly evenly matched. This

very pretty friendship for republics.
Still, when Great Britain sees one

CAN III BE EYADED.

1t has been said that notwithstand-
ing the stringency and rigidity of the
Pure Elections Law there will be found
some way Of evading it and getting
around it. One way suggested is, that
the friends OF a candidate can spend
all the money they choose to secure
his cleo ton, without his knowledge
and consent" and then, after the
election, and the candidate has taken
the necessary oath of office, call on
him 10 reimburse and pay up, and he
can then do so without in anyway
violating the law.
This looks like a pretty smoothe
trick, but the man who thinks this
game can be played has not read care
fully the Barksdale bill. 1t covers
all such cases ei1ectually. Here is the
oath. Note, that the candidate swears.
not only that he has not paid
any money, but that 81 will
not do SO" and mo person shall
enter upon the duties of any election
office until he shall have filed the
statement" Here is the oath:
/ do solemnly swear that the state
ment herewith filed embraces all money
spent by me or in my behalf, with my
knowledge and consent, by my adj
herents and friends; that have neither
directly nor indirectly arranged, en-
couraSed cOnnived at the spending of
any money other than as shown i'm my
said statement; that l have rot repaid
any money SO spent or claimed TO have
been so spent, and that l will not do
so, and that l have not violated any of
the provisions Of this act in letter or i'm
spirit. So help me, God.
So, it will be seen, that this method
OF evading the law won't work, So far
as the candidate is concerned. And. so
far as can be seen 10y careful observers,
there is no way Of evading this law that
can be pursued without great risk to
all parties concerned. The man who
spends money voluntarily FOR the can
dldate, is liable to n heavy fine
and Imprisonment, and the informer is
not liable TO punishment, even though
he may be the one whose vote is
bought
Looking at it all around, this Banks
dale Bill is one of the very best laws of
the kind ever enacted. The man with "A
light purse has now an equal chance
before the people with the man of n
heavy purse. Merit and not money
should win now. Heretofore, no man
could be induced to run for office in
this county who did not have money.
or who was not not able to command
it.
This law should be, and will be rigid
ly enforced.

United State Senators.

1t is IA fact, rs the Baltimore SIN says.
"that the great reason why the people
desire the popular election Of senators
is that the United States Senate is no
longer amenable to public sentiment"
Tho senator's represent politicians
rather than the people. They are thus
made Independent Of the people and
find it perfectly safe TO defy the public
will. There is another objection 10 the
present method, and that is that the
senatorial elections interfere with the
legitimate work of the legislatures. con-
Stunning time which should belong to
law-making 1t also has bad effect
upon the personnel of legislatures. Men
are elected TO the general assembly fire.

has been aeversed, namely, that the
senator appoints the Legislature rather
than that the Legislature appoints the
