According to Cornwell's assertion she
assessors under the new laws will in
crease the taxes and on top of tnat as
sertion he says the governor and the re
nainder of the board of public worka
will not increase the railroad tax. In
other words that is Cornwell,s concep,
ton of the governorship and the public
may rightly conclude that that is ex-
actly the course ne would follow, if he
were elected governor, for does ne not
leave the impression that he is the
friend OF railroads, when it comes to the
matter OF assessing their property and
relieving them Of taxes!

WHERE DOES DEMOCRACY sTAND2

President Roosevelt stands upon tns
acts and policies of his administration,
which he has Carried out according to
the principles laid down by the illus
trous martyred Mckinley, firmly and
unequvocnlly and deties the Opposition
to define clearly their policy upon any
one Of them He does this in ri
speech and in his letter Of acceptance
of the Republican nomination.
The fact Of the matter is. the Demo
cratic party has devoted it Efforts in
vainly endeayoring to find fault and
sarcasticaily q-itieising the policies Of
the present and past administration.
They have devoted nearly all Of their
time 70 this and have not even consid-
cred their own policies upon any Of
these important governmental issues.
There IS nothing chnrgeable to the Re
publican administration That can 10

Hon. Isador Rayner, after a long
and exciting contest, was nominated
for United States Senator by the
Democratic caucus at Annapolis, We'd
nesday night, and his victory was due
doubtless to the fact, that the Demo-
cratic masses were behind him and de-
manded his nomination. The result
vOicing,a as it seems to do, the sentiment
of large majority of the people of the
State strengthens the Democratic
party in that State and doubtless gives
ia long lease of life in the future. The
State is to be congratulated that it has
secured in Mr.. Rayner representative
in the United States Senate so well
qualified in every way for the position.
He was elected on Thursday by solid
Democratic vote Of So, Louis e. Nc

When You Have a Cold.

The first action when you have a
cold should be to relieve the lung.
This is best accomplished by the free
use of Chamberlains Cough REM
edy. This Remedy liquefies the
tough mucus and causes its ex-
pulsion from the air cells of the lungs,
produces a free expectoration, and
opens the secretions. A complete cure
soon follows. This Remedy will cure
a severe cold in less time than any
other treatment and 1t leaves the sys-
tenn in a natural and healthy condi-
ton. 1t counteracts any tendency
toward pneumonia. For sale by all
medicine dealers.

The bill redistricting the State for
representatives in Congress, defeated
at the last session of the General As
sembly, was presented in both houses
again on Wednesday. The bill seeks
to cut the peninsula counties Of Eliza
beth City and Warwick and the city of
Newport News from the Second and
add them to the First District, and to
cut off Charles City county from the
Second and give it to the Third Dis
trict. The object of the bill, it is st ted,
is to equalize more neatly the porula-
tons Of the First and SECOND Districts.
but the people of the First District will
be very slow to believe it. 1t would be
nearer the truth, perhaps to say, the
bill was intended to promote the poll
tical aspirations Of some persons in the
counties to be added to our district, and
the election methods of some of them
in the past have been such as to make
a closer union Objectionable to us.

SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 6, 1904

The farmers and citizens with other
business interests, of Worcester and
Somerset count es, Md, realizing the
benefits which have accrued to us, I'M
der the operations of the Eastern Shore
Produce Exchange, propose to get In
closer touch with it, either in organic
ing divisions in these counties to be
placed under the same management or
an Exchange similar to ours but in a
great measure independent of us. To
that end meetings have already been
held In several places in Worcester
county and definite action is proposed
in a meeting at PocomOke City to-day,
which the manager and treasurer Of
our Exchange by invitation will at
tend.
This movement on the part Of our
neighbors in another State for the bet
ter handling and shipment of their
produce, of course, will be heartily APP
proved by all of our people and the
more for the reason, that the organiza-
ton to be effected by them is to be
similar to ours and will be operated
along lines in harmony with us, under
whatever management it may be. In
a word, the farmers in that section pro.
pose to band themselves together fol
the betterment Of their condition, as
we have done. not because of any re-
turns they expect in dividends on the
money put by them into the Elk
change, but for the better prices they
hope to realize through it for their pro-
duce. With that object in view, it is
important, therefore, that there should
be no friction between the farmers OF
the two sections but hearty cO-opera-
ton in all respects This we believe,
can be best attained with one manage
ment for both and hope that such 8
conclusion will be reached in the meet
ing to be held to-day. We must be in
q position to control the produce if we
would prevent the markets from being
overstocked at times, we must have
uniformity in the preparation of oui
produce for market If we would keep
it up to the standard claimed for it,and
respectfully submit, thattwo organiza'
tons, however much disposed the
members might be to act tremendously
together, could not control these things
as we'll as it could be done under ont
management.

A Maine Mountain sinks.

Caribou, Me, April @.-Woodsmen
bring news that Bald Mountain, a
small, steep hill in the Tiboque valley,
a few miles from the New Brunswick
line, has disappeared. In its place a
small lake now exists.
1t is believed the mountain dropped
out of sight during the earthquake of
of March 81, and that the tremor
which then shook New England really
had its birth in the Maine woods.
Bald Mountain was an odd-shaped
cone with extremely steep sides and
was seldom explored The general
belief is that it was the crater of an
extinct volcano
