Lieutenant General Miles and the ad-
ministration are again openly at outs, the
General having given to the public let
ter which has precipitated affairs. The
letter declares part of his (Miles') report
OH the conditions in the Philippines was
suppressed by the Secretary of War, de-
nying the statement of that official that
the report had been published i'll full.
The letter has naturally aroused the ire OF
the administration and caused revival
of the rumored threats of dismissal for
INSTRUMENTATION which were so freely
circulated some months ago, when Miles
was rebuked for his Dewey letter. The
General has long been thorn in the
flesh of the powers that be, as he persists
in having ideas of his own and gives fire.
quent expression thereto, a thing not
countenauced in these days of political
bosses. The letter amounts to the pre-
cipitation of a question of veracity be-
tween the General and the Secretary of
War, and it is probable the President will
be asked to dismiss Miles in order that
his Secretary be not compelled to prove
his statement-which might be diff
cult matter.
The part of the report declared to be
suppressed was the Lieutenant Generals
order of Nov. rs, 1902, which he issued
while in the Philippines. The order
states that news had come to the com-
handing general that improper means
had been used to extort information from
prisoners, ETC., etc., to the detriuent OF
the honor of the Army, and that such
measures are to cease.

Typhoid At HaYre de Grace.

The number of cases of typhoid
fever in this city is alarming, and the
disease seems to increase in num-
Der of cases rather than diminish.
The river water is generally believ-
ell to be the direct cause of the
prevalence of the malady. The
continued drought has kept the
river clear, and the water,
while clear as crystal at the
present time, is supposed to be full
of typhoid germs. A condition OF
this kind is not to be wondered at,
when it is known that tons of fish
offal from the different fish packing
houses have been dumped into the
river to decay and impregnate the
already not over pure water, which
is pumped from the river for
household uses. What is neces-
sary to carry away the filth that
has settled on the river bottom, is
a freshet. Heavy Iain up the
river will cause rise in the river
at this point, cause rapid current,
and clean the river bottom, to an
extent, of the dead fish and other
deleterious debris. Fishermen, in
taking up their nets, are at times
almost overcome 10y the stencil
caused by decaying substance be-
coming entangled in the meshes.
With the annual recurrence OF
these conditions it is an impossi
bility to provide pure and whole
some water from the source from
which it is now taken.-Ledger,
Havre de Grace.

The Labor Association Meat Company

Alexander Warren, Harvey

William Foard, William B. War
rem, Levi o. Cameron and a num-
Der of citizens of the Third district
are organizing the Labor Associa
ton Meat Co. This organization
for the mutual benefit of its men,
bers has been called into existence
by the prevailing high prices of all
kinds of meats for domestic use.
The company proposes to buy its
own meats and sell them at net
cost to its members, keeping in
stock sufficient supply, but sell
ing to no persons not members of
the Association. The society, from
the rapidity with which members
are joining it, promises to be a
large one, as it has now over fifty
members, and by the LIST of June,
when it will be in operation, it will
possibly, from present indications,
number many more than a hun

vicinity.-Whig.

The Democrats at War.

Never in the history of democratic pol
itics in Cecil has the party been torn by
such bitter factional strife as that which
reached its climax in Saturdays primary.
An unprecedentedly large vote was polled
-swelled in fact by not few republican
ballots-and that the districts had been
thoroughly canvassed was attested by
the attention paid to the "doubtfuls, "
by the lieutenants Of the rival factions,
when they appeared at the polls.
1t is asserted that thousands of dollars
were spent in the county on the contest,
an organ of the republican party placing
the figures between $40, 900 and $4,000.
That every available vote was brought
out is shown by the figures of the poll.
In the Sixth district, out of a total regis
tered vote of 700, the democrats polled at
the primary on Saturday 363-the full
registered strength of the party. The
organization faction carried the district
by majority of 20. In the Third district
$40 votes were polled-fully 100 more
than the party vote. The organization
carried every district in the county, with
the exception of the First, where the
antics had majority of IS. The other
districts went to the organization by the
following majorities Second, SIS; Third,
1873; Fourth, %; Fifth, 81; Sixth. 20;
Seventh, 1884; Eighth, 70; Ninth, 25.-
over 600 majority.
The antics played very small part in
the county convention with their five lone
votes, being given the cold shoulder and
keeping very much in the background.
The walls of the defeated faction were
long and loud after the primary, and
there are still mutterings Of discomfort,
showing a snouldering fire which threat
ems to burst into flame at the approach
ing election and bring disaster to the
ticket as put in nomination by the vic
torious faction on Tuesday.
The ticket as whole measures up to
the average placed before the voters for
their suffrage, and the party managers
have made a strong bid for the popular
vote i'll support of the legislative nom
inees in the declaration for a new road
law and the change of the present system
of voting at primary elections to the Aus
tralian method, both popular moves
which the people should see to are some
thing more than campaign promises, in
the event of the election of the candidates
pledged for the enactment of these re-
forms. The thousands of dollars virtually
wasted on our roads in years past, is
attested to by the miserable highways in
Cecil, which bear mute testimony to the
Anticipated system which prevails and the
crying need of reform in this department
of public service, while the beauties of the
side-window primary voting were dem-
onstrated by the scenes enacted Saturday.
In several instances personal encounters
seemed imminent as result of the stren-
nous electioneering methods employed,
and the timid voter ran the gantlet of
rival factional lieutenants in fear and
trembling before reaching the window
and passing in his ballot, which doubtless
III many instances did not represent the
uninfiuenced sentiment he could have
had recorded with the aid of the secret
system OF the Australian ballot.
