A Storm at Bloomington

The most violent and disastrous
rain storm that ever visited this end
of Garrett county, stuck the Chest
nut Grove settlement, last Wednes-
day afternoon, destroying growing
crops of grain and washing great fur
rows in freshly ploughed fields.
Mr.. Martin Tichnen is the greatest
sufferer from the effects of the storm
as his entire oat crop was washed
away and his corn field devastated en-
tirely. James Davis is also a looser
and will be obliged to replant his corn
field as not single hill rem aims. Will
Der Tasker suffered similar loss. The
soil in many fields was washed
away and what was growing field
of grain a few days ago, now looks a
great deal like a river bottom, moth
ing but stone and rocks. The tender
and growing foliage of the trees was
stripped from them and strewn along
the roads. The storm seemed to be
local in its extent ] mile wide by
miles long resulted in cloud burst in

WHAT DEMOCRATIC SUCCESS
MEANS.

The interest of the Democratic iead-
ers in trying to make it appear that
the panic unLer the last Cleveland
administration was due TO the Re
publicans is at least amusing. The
Democrats realize that the people
will not forget the awful punishment
they suffered as a result of the Dem
ocrats securing control of the Cover
ment for the first time since the war.
During Cleveland's first admins
tration the Democrats did not have
control of both branches of Congress
and were unable to do anything in
the way of partisan legislation. But
they had full control in Cleveland's
last administration with disastrous
results. Should they again secure
control there would in all probability
be repetition of the depression and
starvation that followed the Demo
cratic inauguration in March, 1898.
The change that resulted can well be
recalled in the following extract from
the annual review of r. G. Dun &
Company, an impartial commercial
agency
Starting with the largest trade
ever known, mills crowded with work
and all business stimulated by high
hopes, the year of 1898 has proved, in
sudden shrinkage Of trade, in COM
mercial disasters, and depression of
Industries, the worst for fifty years.
What the final results of the panic
in 1887 were, the scanty records of
that time do not clearly show. The
year closes with the prices of many
products the lowest ever known with
millions of workers seeking in vain
for work, and with charity laboring
to keep back suffering and starvation
in all our cities"

APESSIMIST PROFESSOR.

The University of Chicago can un-
usually be relied upon to furnish
absurd views on current subjects OF
interest. and one Prof. Star supplies
more than his share IN this line. He
is quoted as saying that if Japan is
successful in the war with Russia,
1.-The doom of the white races will be
sealed
He talks further foolishness thus:
This is war of races and not ofnations
Every race has its day, just as every
dog has it's day. The day of the white
race is almost past. England is on its
last legs. Statistics show that one
child of every hundred of English
birth becomes lunatic. The country
is exhausted and it's strength is Oh
the wane. The same thing is true al
over Europe"
Does this half baked Chicago pro.
fessor suppose that all the powers OF
Europe would have declared their
neutrality if the Russo japanese war
were war of races instead of wal
of nations? He has read history anG
studied conditions to little purpose if
he imagines the white races of the
earth are in any real danger from
other races,
A professors chair is the last place
in which to place a pessimist.

TWENTY-FIVE cent wool sounds
good to the farmers of Harrison coun-
ty, and its paralyzing to the Democ-
ratio calamity bowler in this presi-
Dental campaign. The Republican
party always was favorable to the
farmer who raises sheep and has wool
to sell That party has always seen
to it that condition of prosperity
prevails that puts the price of wool,
where the farmer can afford to grow
it, and the news that wool this year
is worth 25 cents a pound tends to
show the farmer that that political
party is keeping up its record in
the matter of good prices for wool
and that there is to be no retrogress-
ion this year but to the contrary an
advance in the right direction. Lo-
cally this news comes from r. T.
Lowndes, who has opened up the
wool buying season in Harrison coun-
ty and adjoining counties. He is
paying 25 csnts a pound for it deliv-
cred at his warehouses in this city,
and "a cents pound at the farmers
door. This is considered a good
price.-Clarksburg Telegram.

FindAnYthing in the Democratic

President Are Unfounded.

President Are Unfounded.
United States Senator McComas
was asked what he thought of the
Democratic platform adopted by the
Maryland state convention.
His reply was What is there in it?
| see nothing except a plan reaffirm-
ance of Bryan's paramount issue. In
dependence for the Filipino. What
is to be done with the Visayans, the
MOrOs, the Negretos, and the millions
who are not Filipinos is not said. l
assume that they mean by Filipinos
the homogeneous group of civilized
and unciyilized peoples in the island,
and that they want republic in six
months established like Cuba. but,

| to be a surrender to the triumphant
administration policy which has al
ready begun the isthmian canal
I've are accustomed to the Demo
cratic cry for economy and retrench-
ment when not in office. The truth
is, expenditures are liberal, but all
ere for the public interests and thus
defensible; so defensible that the
platform does not attack them by q
single specification
The wide spread corruption in the
department must mean the offend
ers in the postal department; bu t
these are either undergoing sentence
or trial; the Innocent will be vindi-
Gated and the guilty relentlessly pun
ished. President Roosevelt has not
halted one moment. No new man
could do better than Roosevelt's best.
The tariff plank, think, requires
to be read great many times before
any man of average intellig ence can
feel sure that he knows what it
means.
The plank on the usurpation by
President Roosevelt oflegislative and
judicial power is unfounded and alb
surd. No member of the convention
would say the President had usurped
judicial power in any instance. The
Republicans in the House and Senate
will all testify that no President has
made less use of the veto and no Pres
ident has so readily bowed to the
will Of Congress in its legislative
sphere. Except President Mckinley
l can recall no President who has
kept so closely in touch with both
houses of Congress as President
Roosevelt has done.
Now | have reviewed the whole
platform. If there is anything else
in it, show it to me. Defamation,
evasion and no distinct pledge. Moth
ing for the public credit for sound
money; nothing for the national
honor; nothing definite about reve.

Senator McComas added musingly
William G. Whitney was a very able
man. He was the ablest and wisest
of Dem ocrats when he went to his
grave. How true was his last notable
saying: The Democratic party has
no issue and no man.
THE New York, Ohio and Mary.
land platforms show the Democratic
party has no issue and st. Louis will
reveal that it has no man who will
not be defeated by Roosevelt, who is
sincere, honest, clean and courage

he explained that owing to the shortness
Of time since the ministers accension TO
the office IL had been impossible TO pre-
pare a large policy and therefore they had
confined themselves TO the practicable

The government proposed TO reintro-
duec the arbitration bill retaining its gem
eral principles but making state employees
amenable thereto. this being the point on
which the late government was wrecked.
The arbitration court will consist of a
Judge only, with special technical asses
sors when desired by either side. The ap-
pearance OF counsel before the court is
prohibited without the consent OF both
sides, thereby limiting expenses.
1t was proposed, the premier continued.
TO appoint a single high commissioner in

would gradually remove the necessity for
representatives OF the different states OF
