CONGRESSIONAL.

The Congressional COnven.
ton of the Democrats of the
First District of Maryland, will
meet at Ocean City on the 1Otl
of August. 1t is generally con
coded that Congressman Will
liam III. jackson, will be re-
nominated by the Republicans
but the contest among Demo.
cratic candidates will not com.
mence until there is a lining UP
ut Ocean City. Several esti-
mable Democrats have been
mentioned, among the number
being Hon. Austin Crothers. OF
Cecil County, General Joseph
B Seth, of Talbot County, and
Hon. Thomas A. Smith, of
Caroline County. 1t is said that
Mr.. Crothers does not desire the
nomination. The Caroline
friends of Mr.. Smith are making
an arduous campaign for him,
and the Denton Journal gives
some excellent reasons why he
should be nominated.
There is no division of senti-
ment among Democrats in this
Congressional District, because
of the nominations made at ST.
Louis; all are in favor of the
election of Parker and Davis,
and the Democratic nominee for
Congress will poll the entire
party vote, and as many more
from the Republican party as
his personal popularity and high
character will succeed in in
fluencing.
Every Democrat feels it in
his bones that this is going to
be a Democratic year-not only
i'm Maryland, but throughout
the country therefore we should
be careful in the selection of a
candidate for Congress to rep
resent this District. We should
select a live, energetic man,
fully able To canvass the district
and show the people that he
has the ability to serve them
well as a Congressman.

The Heard invariable points the

In taking its candidate for
President from New York, its
candidate for Vice President
from West Virginia, and the
Chairman of the National
Committee from Indiana, the
Democratic party has essential
ly strengthened itself for the
November contest. Assured of
these three States, the fight for
the Presidency can be waged
with greater vigor in Wiscon-
sin, Washington, California,
Illinois and other States where
the Republican party is weak
ened by factional quarrels, or
where the result is made doubt
full by narrow majorities.

There was no line in which Mr.,
Machen suffered his opportunities
to go to waste. AS Superintend-
ent of the Division of Free Delivery
he was a success, so far as getting
money was concerned. His pecu-
lations are so numerous, and their
ramiflcations so intricate, that it
would be impossible to do them
justice in a single newspaper
article. He began his operations
under the administration of the
immaculate Cleveland and con-
tinued them while in Office. His
Official life terminated last May.
He was known to be in ten differ
ent lines of graft. Among his
other accomplishments he seems to
have been an expert forger; at
least one forged mortgage is traced
to him calling for three thousand
five hundred dollars. 1t is perhaps
superluous to add that Mr.. Machen
became an ardent advocate of
honest money just prior to the cleo
ton in 1896.
Space will not permit us to take
up the cas- of George W. Beavers,
Superintendent of Salaries and
Allowances. 1t is quite as bad as
Machon's. Keep in mind that this
is only ono department of the gov
eminent. What the condition in
other departments may be can
only be imagined. Some of the
slush was traced directly to Perry
S. Heath, First Assistant Post
master General.
We suspect that the President
has raised a corner of the curtain,
so that the people could catch a
glimpse OF what is going on be-
hind the scenes, for purposes of
his own. Heath is a henchman of
Mark Hanna, and the plutocracy
would like to make Hanna Presi-
dent. Mr.. Roosevelt is prepared
to pull down the house if the bust
ness interests do not nominate and
elect him. The facility with which
he has removed a brick or two
shows what he could do if he was
SO minded. The result will be that
they will try to deliver the goods
to Mr.. Roosevelt, although they
don't like him. II they don't their
machine goes to the scrap pile.

THE CommoRer: ga Cincinnati
reader Of the Comnloner directs at
tention to the fact that under the
heading OF Financial Points,
page II in the Cincinnati Enquirer
OF November lst, appears the fol-
lowing item: Before the Boer
war, South Africa was producing
about Si00, 600, GOO of gold per an
mum. When this was cut off it
meant just that much contraction
of the money supply Of the world,
and therefore q consequent in
crease in the value OF the money
and a decrease in the value of COM
modities and securities.' This
Cincinnati reader suggests: This
from a paper that is known to be
opposed to everything which it
calls "Bryanistic" looks as though
some one with more brains than
politics has charge OF that papers

A Study in Black.

Fourth Assistant Postmaster Gen
eral Bristow's report upon the
postal frauds that have been re-
Gently unearthed, is one of the few
public documents that make fasci-
mating reading. 1t not only marks
Mr.. Bristow as a man OF singulaTly
clear intellect, but also shoul dgiye
him nc mean place in the world OF
letters. The characters are mar
shalled with an adroitness that
would do credit to q master OF
fiction. We see each face, each
motion against the somber back
ground OF stupidity and greed as
clearly as If they had been thrown
upon canvas by a skilful thinner.
The interest never Tags, and the
attention never for an instant re-
lakes. The harlequin, the mounte-
bank, the confidence man, the
forger, the CRATER, the t~ime-server,
the man with a pull, the woman
with a friend at court, all march
through its pages as if it we're an
addenda to Gil Bias.
The ingenuity of their schemes
to rob the public are only equaled
in the intricate plots Of Wilkie Col
Inns novels. The bOundless con-
tidence each Of the actors displays
in the moral turpitude of mankind
is almost pathetic. The serene re-
lance each has in his pull to save
him from the consequences of
knavery is both amusing and
amazing. Each one goes on his
course as if the race Of honest men
were extinct. They are wholly
unable to understand a man who
will not steal if he can be assured
that his theft will not be visited
with punishment. They regard
the intellect Of q man who will not
take money when he can safely do
so as defective. They lie about
their tergiversations grandly and
fluently, but not always ingen-
iously. They confess their false
hoods with an efirontery that would
turn a plaster cast to the color of
an old fashioned copper cent.
AS the tale unfolds the interest
grows more and more absorbing.
You catch yourself turning over a
page or two to see what becomes
of the character under the lime
light. Mr.. Bristow's report is
likely to become in great demand,
and that demand will come from
all sorts Of people.
The first man to occupy the
center of the stage is Michael w.
Louis, who was appointed super
intendent of supplies in the place
OF w. A. Burwell, removed by
Perry S. Heath without cause.
Mr.. Heath then had Mr.. Louis
carried on the roster of the Kansas
City post-office as cashier, al
though he never visited that city
during his incumbency in office.
The mind of Mr.. Louis run to ink
and pads, etc. He bought barrels
of ink that could not be used, tons
OF pads that were not wanted, and
unlimited Irvine; all this was done
in the interest Of the contractors
for furnishing such goods, notably
Ault, Wiberg & Co., of Cincinnati,
Ohio. Just what Mr.. Louis re-
ceived is not known, but every
thing indicates that during the
time he acted as Superintendent of
the Division Of Supplies his pocket
book was in a fairly prosperous
