Lamentable as the wholesale slaugh-
ter of big game may be, the killing of
human beings incidental to the sport
should produce halt on the part of
yoracious hunters. In Ontario the
bag" for the season was 4235 deer,
1900 moose and 27 human beings, and
the license record shows that Penn
sylvania and New York furnished the
largest number of hunters. During
the short season of 20 days in Mime
scat as many as 10000 deer including
moose and caribou, were brought into
st. Paul from Minnesota and north
ern Wisconsin, and the loss of life
was 20 killed including two women,
besides seven dangerously wounded
and many injured The growing un-
popularity of the small caliber rifle
on the part of the hunters is due to
the fact that unless a vital spot is
pierced the game escapes; the guides
and the woodmen who have to run
the risks of taking the fusillades de-
spise the weapon. In spite of the
practice of wearing red caps the or
dinary city gunner will take the Tong
est kind of chances in shooting at
any moving object in the woods.

The Danish government has pro-
posed law empowering all Danish
citizens to change their names. The
reason for this measure is that in Den
mark, as in the Transvaal, there are
not enough names to go round. In
Copenhagen, it appears, one person in
every ten is called Hansen, and equal
proportions of the inhabitants are
called Peterson and Sorensen respect
lively. In the rural districts things are
as bad if no tworse. In one community
of $4,000 inhabitants, for example,
there are only 20 different names, so
that each name Is borne on an average
by 1900 different persons. In the cir
cumstances one may even doubt
whether a permissive bill can meet the
necessities of the case, and whether
it would not be better to send the
mayor a list of names, with instruc-
tions to distribute them impartially
among the superhuous Sorensens, Pc
tersens and Hansens.

1t takes the papers in the small
Washington towns to promulgate new
political principles. Here we have the
Pomeroy Independent declaring that
it will not hereafter support for office
any man who is not subscribe
or. 1t used to support men no
matter whether or not they subscribed
for the paper but, having arrived at
the years of knowledge the policy 80
long pursued in the past will be shelv-
ed. The Independent says that a
man wha is not big enough to sub
scribe for a paper from which he ex-
pects support when he is running for
office is altogether too small being
to be trusted with public positions.
Hereafter, the Independent declares,
1t will oppose the candidacy of every
man who declines to take a subscrip-
ton from August u, 1880. This is a
new situation for politicians to con-
tetnd with. and the indications are
politics will be revolutlonized in con-
sequence.

BRYAN AS A c CONSERVATIVE.

Colonel Bryan is broadening In mind
as he travels and accumulates the ideas
Of other people. Instead of proposing
20 accomplish things without the aid
or consent of any other nation he halts
at the point of prophecy and leaves his
audience to do its own guessings, says
the Futte Inter- Mountain.
During his visit in England the Ne
braska stateman listened to Roseberry
and Chamberlain discussing the tariff
question from opposing standpolnts.
Writing to the New Yo.k Journal re-
garding the Impression which these
men made upon him, he reaches this
conclusion:
Il will not attempt to predict the
outcome of this fiscal controversy. l
have missed my guess on similar
controversy in the United States and
! shall not venture prophecy in a
foreign land. Mr.. Chamberlain's OPP
ponents believe that a return Of pro-
lection would be taken as a renuncia-
ton of England's ambition to be mis-
tress of the seas; and that 1t would
presage commercial isolation. 1t is a
battle of giants over a great question
and all the world is more or less inter-
ested in the result"
Four years ago, Mr.. Bryan would
not have hesitated to tell his hearers
Just how such contest would result
and would have added information
respecting the results to England from
the result, As a matter of fact he
missed two guesses on a similar contest
in the United tates--one when he sup
ported Cleveland's free trade theories
and the other in 1896 when he guessed
that the practical approval of protee-
ton by the democratic platform would
assist to elect him to the presidency.
Il is gratifying to notice that the most
radical of our American political lead
ers has all but Joined the English con-
servatives in habits if not in beliefs.

rHe FAR EASTERN SITUATION.

However much the interested
powers may try to conceal the real
situation ii is evident that Japan and
Russia are on the verge of war The
japanese seem determined to oppose
with all their yigor the aggressive pol
icy of the grasping Russians, and war
like preparations are going on apace.
Russia is buying large supplies of
meat in the United States, while half
a dozen battle ships have been sold
lately by some Of the smaller coun-
tries. The sale of those vessels does
not portend any peaceful intent on
the part of the purchaser, nor can it
be truthfully said that the prepara-
tions for trouble preclude settlement
of the difficulty between the two coun-
tries.
Russia viii employ almost any
means to secure a firm footing on the
EOhShs dii diltl lltI cuCCtSH III OCtu-
pying Manchuria feels justified In TAX
ing chance in Corea. The Japanese
government strongly protested against
the Manchuria coup of the ezar, but
the attention of the Japanese is now
directed to Corea, Russian aggran-
dlzement of which would be serious
blow to the nation of little brown
men.
There is no likelyhood that Russia
will back down after once having
taken so firm a stand and the lndiea-
tions that war viii ensue are bright.
II will be a hard, fierce struggle, for
the Japs have a powerful navy and
endless courage. Whatever effect
such war will have in the far east,
1t will certainly boom things on the
Pacific coast of America.

Increased facilities for heavy gainb-

the opening of the new sporting club
annex to the Casino. On the first
floor of the old Monte Carlo hotel a
gorgeous saloon has been fitted up for
baccarat, while rooms have been set
apart for bridge, poker. and, in fact,
any game at cards gamblers desire,
A splendid buffet is attached, so that
frequenters need not even leave the
building for meals.
Under the terms of new agree
ment with the Prince of Monaco the
Casino authorities are bound to spend
an enormous sum on improvements.
To repay themselves for this outlay
the Casino people have made two sub
stantial changes. The Casino opens
at 10 a. m. instead of IL, and on all
the roulette tables the number of the
little brass boxes into which the ball
jumps have been. increased from ten
to fourteen. This means that three
coups can be played in the time form

creased resistance offered to the i'm

A TEXT AND IT'S APPLICATION.


1--WE disclaim any purpose to do any injustice
whatever to our colored population Demo
cratic State Platform.
II am not hostile to the negro. but have Always
counted myself one of his truest and pest
friends. y Candidate Warfeld.
Representatives and candidates OF the
Democratic party, friends and supporters Oh
Mr.. Warfeld, thus accentuate these deciara-
tons
Nine colored men in one district OF this
county, exercising their legal and indisputaoie
rights, were arrested without any show OF
probable cause and, in furtherance OF scheme
which was dishonest and unlawful, namely,
the intimidation and terrorizing of other
qualified voters so as to prevent their registra-
ton. The arrest of these men, or some others,
had evidently been plotted and arranged for
beforehand and was scheme which had been
worked heretofore with more or less success
within our borders
These men were hurried from their homes,
cast into Jail, their wives and friends prevented
from seeing them; even lawyers employed in
their behalf forbidden access to them, and
kept in prison until writs of habeas corpus
were sued out and they were brought before
the court only to be promptly discharged
the lawyer representing the State declaring the
arrests mistake.
The mental torture of these men, the agony
of their families-were poignant because
uniformed of the charges against them-thei
deportation from their homes, the loss of worl
and wages, the outrageous violence to thei
rights, the base conspiracy for an unworth,
political end by which they suffered join Il
make pitiful commentary on the sincerity o
the Democratic party and its chief candidate
~ fbis az sSacNonso4 nat party to suppress th
negro vote is not denied and is but tbipl,
yelled. But in the march through deceit
violence and fraud towards that consummatio,
this incident illustrates its absolute disregard
of justice and criminal violation of law /,
the fragrant assault on the rights of these men
who may be poor, ignorant and friendless BIN
who are nevertheless not so humble that the,
are not entitled to shelter under the protectin,
@gis of the law.

BALTIMORE COUNTY, October 10. 1908
EdtfofS OF 1he Dni0n being man in favor
of fair play and some honesty, even in politics,
/ have been much disguised by the use of 80
much display type and so much oratory about
Republican extravaganza and Republican rob-
berry of the people of our county during the
few years they had majority in the Commits
sioners' Board. We all know the Democrats
had member of the Board all the time the Re
publicans had two members, and we all know
that at no time did we have any complaint about
extravaganza or robbery of the people from
the Democratic Commissioner. We know, more
over, that the Democratic member was an influ-
entail member of the Board, the first being none
other than Jimmy Rittenhouse, the present
clear that if the Republican Commissioners
were robbing the people, Democrat wasla par
ty to the whole thing, and if he was, then it is
equally clear he ought not to be Sheriff OF
this county.
One or two other matters about this Republic
can extravaganza and robbery of the people
perplex my poor BRAIN the first being that dur
ing the four years the Republicans had ma
jority in the Board the annual average levy
made for county expenses was more than $4,000
less than the annual average levy has been for
the last four years, including the year 1903, when
the Democrats have had control Then, again,
if the Republicans left this great debt on the
county. why have the Democrats never made
any levy to pay it of? They say they have paid
it, but how is that possible when they never
levied for it, and have not reduced the cost of
single item of county expenses according to
their published county expense sheets. The
only answer is, that all this talk about debt on
shine and nonsense resorted to to fool the
people.
When the Republicans went into Office in 1895
there was heavy debt on the county, created
under the Magruder and Rittenhouse regime.
When the Legislature met bill was passed au-
thorizing the Commissioners to borrow money
to pay of this debt. 1t was done to a partial
extent and Mr.. Rittenhouse signed the notes.
1t was carried along, and when the Republicans
left these notes were still in existence, renewed
from time to time, and this is all there is about
the nonsensical charge that takes up so much
space in the county papers and so nsiiAhti''-e Of
If you think it worth the space in your paper
a statement can be given showing conclusively
that taxes were lower in Baltimore county and
county expenses less during the time the Re-
missioners office than they have been since. 1t
can be given in such way, too, as not to admit of
any charge of false statement, but can be ver-
fled by any taxpayer who has kept his taxbills
for the last eight years and chooses to examine
the official figures printed on the back of them.
Yours, TAXPAYER.

'Mr. E. L. Painter. of Owings' Mills, a member

late Democratic primaries and the superiority

says that the present situation, with relation to
Talbott's control of the party is intolerabe, and
hints that it will drive Democratic voters to
