Great advances in Union Pacific and
Northern Securities was the feature of
interest. There was buying in both which
took everything offered and seemed I'M

with the exception of Steel stocks, which
were unchanged, everything was higher
Rumors that plan for the dissolution of
the Northern Securities would be of great
benefit to the Union Pacific together with
heavy buying of Northern Securities on
the curb sent both stocks soaring. The
price of Northern Securities was forced
up to 1914 and Union Pacific advanced
nearly 9 points The sentiment in the
wheat pit was bullish.

THE CONFEDERATE ROLL OF HONOR

THE CONFEDERATE ROLL OF HONOR
For many years the United States
Government has been engaged in the
work of compiling what is officially
described as the Records of the Re-
bellion." This is, as far as it has
been possible to make it, a complete
record of the four years of the Civil
War and of the movements of the
contending armies as given in the
orders issued by their commanding
officers. The work of compiling
these records has been a stupendous
one, costing more, it is said, than
any publication of a similar charac-
ter which any other nation has given
to the world in the interest of his
torical information, and yet its alue
does not seem to be justly appreci-
ated. Many volumes have found
their way to oblivion in lumber room
rjunk shop, in spite of the fact that
the preparation and publication of

PUNISH THE BRIBERS.

Despite the advice Of many good
Republicans, Congressman Jackson
has served notice on his successful
opponent that he will contest his re-
cent election. Testimony will be
taken within the prescribed time, and
the final hearing will be before the
next session of Congress. As this
body is largely Republican, there can
be little question of the outcome, and
doubtless Jackson will be seated re-
gardless of any matter Of right.
The Democrats of the Eastern
Shore should COW make good their
promise to expose the methods Of
bribery that have surrounded the
last two national campaigns in that
section of Maryland. The people
look with wonderment at the man
ner in which money has been used to
corrupt the ballot box. When Mr..
Smith was elected it was heralded all
over the State as a victory of right
over cash. Mr.. Jackson has been no.
titled that if he carries out his pres
ent intention it will land some party
workers in Jail. As the legal pro-
ceedings have been commenced, the
Democrats must make good their
promise.
The use of money on the Eastern
Shoreis a matter very much deplored
by the best element of both parties.
When contests are to be narrowed
down to the size of the "barrels" of
the two parties, we must expect the
public ideas of citizenship to be low
cred accordingly. There can be moth
ing more hurtful or demoralizing to
our form of government. The mat
ter should be probed to the bottom
and the offenders punished to the full
extent Of the law.
The Anne Arundel Court has de-
cided that the franchise amendment
has been adopted in legal manner
and signed an order requiring Gov
ernor War6eld to properly promul-
gate the same so that it can be legal
ly placed upon the official ballot to
be voted upon this fall. The Attor-
ney General Immediately filed a no.
tice of appeal, and the case will be
heard in the Court of Appeals early
in January. Until then nothing will
be done, as all interests require that
there be final adjudication.

NEVER TOO SOON 10 MEND.

1t would be useless at this time to
discuss the question whether the APP
prehensions which have been admit
tedly felt by conservative men ofboth
parties before the election were we'll
founded. But certainly the recent
appointment Of the Postmaster at
Baltimore and OF the United States
Marshal of the Eastern District OF
Virginia give hope of Il changed pol
icy i'll regard TO Federal appoint
ments in the South.
BE it late, or be it soon,
We seek the omen, hail the boon.
President Roosevelt ended the
Baltimore postoilice controversy on
Monday by selecting Mr.. ". Hall
Harris. The new appointee is 4
most excellent man, but had not been
named III the contest. ! he KcpuDil'
cans had nearly united on Gen. !.
Stuart Macdonald, but the petty
jealousy of Senator McComas pre-
vented his name from being sent in
by the President.
The fight for the Postal Check
Currency bill is still being waged by
its supporters. Why there is such
unexcusable delay in passing this
meriorous measure is past compre
hension. 1t would mean great con
venience to the public in renting
small amounts of money and also
give lis nice, clean paper money free
from contamination and filth.
