A New One.

Itseems Senator William Mason,
of Illinois, did not have the time or
opportunity In the senate to blow Oft
enough surplus gas, and now, since
he is out of public life, proposes to
follow in the footsteps of VIM. Bry-
an and start weekly newspaper.
Should Mr.. Mason finally enter the
newspaper world, he would run an
aggressive, rantankerous kind of jour
nal that would attract some attention.
1t is said there are hundreds or
questions that came up during his
official life that he never got to more
than hint at, and if he had a news
paper he could talk on them to his
hearts content with nobody to move
the previous question. We hope he
will start. His line Of journalism is
not filed in the Republican party,
we believe he claims to be Re-
publican still, and he could just
have all the scope and territory he
desires. He might even soon be-
come to the Republican party what
Billy Bryan is to the Democratic.
We are for the new journal.

Three of the Boatright gang Of
footrace swindlers, Boatrlght, Ellis
and Brumley, have been conv icted
and sentenced to three years in the
Missouri penitentlary. This seems
a little tough on the sporting frater-
nifty. They simply had little game
of their own and played to win.
Their dupes were men who thought
they were on the right side of the
game.

In the senate Parker'S resolution
calling upon all the executive depart
ments and state institutions to file for
the informal ton of the senate the semi
annual reports required by the cofsti-
tuition to be flied with the governor, on
motion of Campbell was made spe-
cial order for April %, pending the
opinion requested by the governor from
Attorney General Han.lin as to the in
depreciation of the provision of the
constitution referred to. Gardner in
troduced bill to regulate the orGaniza-
ton, management and control of Gene
terry asSocia tons. The bill provides
that no dividends can be paid, the
surplus to be used in the care and
preservation of such associations.
The bill to revise the mechanics lien
law was recalled by JUL to the or
der of second reading. for the pur-
pose of amendment. After amend
ments had been offered and lost, on
motion of Small the enacting clause
was stricken out, thus killing the bill.
Juurs amendments were intended to
obviate the objections of the labor I'M
ions to the bill.
Berry characterized the bill as one
of the worst that has been introduced
at this or any other session of the
legislature. He said that it would
work a great injustice to the mechan-
ic, laborer, and every lumber dealer
in the state outside of the larger
cities. JUL defended the bill, and said
it was Endorsed by every association
and organization interested in building
with the exception of the laboring
men and the lumber dealers. The
amendments which he had offered, he
said. would do away with the objec-
tions of the laboring men.
Among the bills passed were the
following: Requiring foreign life in
surance companies which have no de-
posits i'm other states for the protection
of Illinois policy holders to make n
deposit in this state for that purpose;
empowering county and probate judges
to cause the appearance of admins
traitors and executors twice each year
for the purpose of inquiring into the
responsibility of their bondsmen; pro-
viding that 10 discrimination shall be
made against negroes in the matter of
furnishing hearses.
Numerous bills were advanced to
to 10 a. IN. today.

MILES A SENATORIAL CANDIDATE.

At dinner on Thanksgiving day ten
dered Hon. Joshua w. Miles at Princess
Anne by the local county and legislative
ticket elected at tue late election, Mr..
Miles was launched as a candidate for
United States Senator. In consenting to
be a candidate Mr.. Miles said:
"Ii, in recognition OF my services to the
cause so vital to the best interests of the
people oimy county, you gentlemen, who
have been chosen TO represent Somerset
caunty in the next General Assembly OF
the State, desire to cast your for me for
the high office of United States Senator
shall offer no objection.
II shall not, however. l assure you, en-
ter any unssemly contest for the office.
II the pressing OF my name upon the at
tention OF your fsllow-members OF the
General Assembly shall at auy time threat
en- that harmony in the Democratic par
" which, regard as so vitality important
at this inncture to the people OF the State,
assure you ID will be my most earnest
wish that my name be withdrawn en-
sirely from the consideration ofyour par.
ty associates and thatyou will take such
action az will strengthen Democratic iu-
trenchments and iortiiy the fortresses OF
Democracy in Maryland for that stupen-
dous and final struggle in which great
principle is to be determined and when
the petty ambitions of men will be for
gotten or ignored.
The time for words has passed and the
time for action has come. This is the
question OF the hour, the subject OF home
and fireside anxieties, with all the stall
wart men and all the home-loving wo
men of the State, and whatever else may
happen it must not be said when the
General Assemble OF 1904 adiourns that
the Democratic party has furnished the
proof that the campaign charge of the
enemy was true-that the negro question
was used as 'bugaboo' to determine one
more election or as leverage to elevate
men to office and crafty selfish ambi-
tions.
1.-THE man who permits his ambition
for place to stand in the way OF the real
iSation OF the peoples hopes, or, by too
ardent or persistentcontest for office, dis
turbs the harmony OF the party that is
pledged to the dominance of our race
in Maryland, thereby imperiling the full
allment of that pledge, is unpatriotic,
unworthy of your interest and deserves
your condemnation rather than your
support.
